Episode 42

The meadow in front of the dungeon entrance.

Two students were talking there.

One of them was an ace who was in the same group as Cha Ji-yoon during the dungeon exploration.

Ace’s friend said.

“Hey. Ace, you said you were in the same group as Cha Ji-yoon this time.”

“Uh.”

“Isn’t this an opportunity to earn a lot of points from Cha Ji-yoon?”

“What? It’s just going into a dungeon together.”

“No, think about it. Who is your group made up of?”

“Nam Do-yoon, me and Cha Ji-yoon.”

“Yes, you asshole. That bastard, Nam Do-yoon, is in the middle.”

“Ah. That’s right.”

“Yes. Nam Do-yoon’s dumb bastard would be unable to do anything, but if you play an active role, you won’t stand out much more.”

“It really is.”

“Yes. Nam Do-yoon, you bastard, can’t do anything, so grind it moderately.”

“Why?”

From noble mtl dot com

“No. Cha Ji-yoon and Nam Do-yoon would hate being in the same group, but I can’t bear to say that out of my mouth.”

“Yes, indeed.”

“That’s why you get points from Cha Ji-yoon by saying the part where ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ is frustrated because she can’t say it. Then maybe Cha Ji-yoon will start to be interested in you too?”

“Is it really so?”

“Of course not, you asshole. Besides, Cha Ji-yoon doesn’t usually take words well, but since we’re in the same group, at least they won’t accept our words. Speak up and keep going.”

“Okay.”

Ace looked at Cha Ji-yoon in the distance.

“Go quickly.”

Ace’s friend pushed him on the back.

“Hello. Mr. Ji-yoon.”

Ace walked towards Cha Ji-yoon.

“..Yes.”

Cha Ji-yoon said with a cold expression.

“I really wanted to see you. It’s such an honor to be on the same team.”

With that said, he asked Cha Ji-yoon to shake hands.

“…Yes”

However, Cha Ji-yoon glanced at the handshake he asked for and then looked away.

“…Groan”

Ace looked at his outstretched hand in embarrassment.

“Rather than that, the composition of our team seems like the two of us should work hard, right?”

Ace said.

“…?”

Cha Ji-yoon made a puzzled expression.

“No, look at that guy over there.”

Ace pointed to Nam Do-yoon.

“That guy over there with the 500th place in admissions grade. You probably entered ‘Elpon’ Academy with a pull-up, right? As far as I know, the physical strength test is also the lowest, and the amount of magic power is absurdly weak, so I know it is a disgrace to our academy.”

“……”

“But don’t worry about being on the same team as that guy. Because I will be by Cha Ji-yoon’s side and provide good support. Just trust me and follow me. Lol”

“…….”

Cha Ji-yoon sighed silently.

You can say things like this because you don’t know the power he’s hiding.

I was pathetic.

“Rather than that, do you have time this weekend? This time, I made a reservation at a restaurant that Ji-yoon would like. It’s a really nice place. Jiyoon-nim, you’ll love it even with your picky taste. Clearly. I made a reservation for this restaurant two months ago..”

“…Ah yes.”

Cha Ji-yoon cut him off with a short answer.

I soon walked towards Nam Do-yoon.

“Jiyoon! Where are you going? I will provide good support. As long as you stay by my side, you will be safe!”

Cha Ji-yoon said to Nam Do-yoon.

“…Should only this fit?”

“Yes.”

Nam Doyoon said.

Soon the two entered the dungeon.

Leave Ace behind.

“Where are you going? Jiyoon?”

Ace hurriedly pursued them both.

When I entered the dungeon, there was a cave entrance with a number written on it.

The numbers written above the entrance to this cave represent the level of difficulty.

The higher the number, the higher the difficulty of the dungeon.

“Hmm..”

Nam Doyoon looked at the numbers written on the top of the dungeon.

There were numbers from 1 to 15.

In front of that number, students were gathering in their groups and discussing.

“Hey. Where shall we go?”

“If you go to 15, don’t you get a very high score?”

“By the way, aren’t the monsters really strong? Even Radeon Joe doesn’t go to the 15th.”

“Then should I go to 7 appropriately?”

“That’s better. Let’s go in quickly.”

They soon entered the cave entrance with the number 7 written on it.

Nam Doyoon looked at the numbers written on the top of the cave in silence.

The level of difficulty of 15 is still difficult for students to attack.

That’s why it’s a place you shouldn’t enter.

However, you need to go to 15 to get that ring.

“Let’s go to 15, right?”

Nam Do-yoon said to Cha Ji-yoon.

“What? Let’s go to 15?”

Ace frowned at those words.

“You are terribly weak, what do you believe in and ask to go to 15?”

“…”

“Ah. Could it be that ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ and I are doing it to get on the bus somehow? If the difficulty is high, you will get a high score?”

“….”

“Yes. Well, the entrance grade was in the bottom, but he must have wanted to improve his grades by taking the bus. I fully understand, but why do I have to ride the bus with ‘Cha Ji-yoon’?”

“…We’re giving him a bus ride?”

“Yes. He’s weak, so he’s useless in a dungeon. In fact, the two of us have to kill all the monsters.”

“…I think it’s the other way around.”

“Yes?”

“..I think he’s giving us a bus ride.”

“What the hell is that…?”

Ace put on a blank expression.

“…Should I go alone?”

Cha Ji-yoon said to Nam Do-yoon.

“..Yes, let’s go.”

Soon Cha Ji-yoon and Nam Do-yoon entered the entrance.

Ace put on a blank expression.

Nam Do-yoon and Cha Ji-yoon entered the dark cave.

Only a small torch on the wall was lighting up the darkness.

However, areas without torches were completely covered in darkness.

Nam Doyoon grinned.

As I expected.

The difficulty of a dungeon is not simply determined by the strength of the monsters.

Various variables such as traps, magic barriers, etc. Installed in the dungeon also have a great impact on the difficulty of the dungeon.

Ace managed to catch up.

Then I confirmed that there were no monsters inside the dungeon.

There are dungeons with no monsters at all.

However, in every dungeon like that, a trap pops up every time you take a step.

Ace grinned.

But I wasn’t worried.

Finding traps is my specialty.

Ace’s magic is specialized in discovering traps set in dungeons.

“Jiyoon. Don’t worry. I will try to detect all the trap locations.”

He said smugly.

Ace poured his magic toward the dungeon floor.

Then, in an instant, I began to feel the traps on the floor.

There’s a trap where if you step on one step in front of you, you’ll fall underground.

And in front of the two steps, there is a trap that shoots out arrows when you step on the ground.

Ace soon scanned all the traps in this place with his magical powers.

Soon, he said in a confident voice.

“Jiyoon. I found all the pitfalls. Just follow me.”

He had a smug expression on his face.

“….”

Cha Ji-yoon looked at him wordlessly.

Ace soon moved toward the wall at the far left of the cave.

“Take one step forward here, stop again and take one step to the right…”

He gave his word for the best route he had found.

Nam Doyoon laughed at that.

“Isn’t that what it is?”

“What?”

“That’s not it.”

Ace looked at Cha Ji-yoon.

She is listening carefully to what Nam Doyoon said.

If she gets pushed back here, scoring points in front of her is going to cross the water.

“What do you think you know?”

“Me? You just know where the traps are?”

“Poop-“

Ace smiled.

“You know everything? You are talking funny.”

He said to Cha Ji-yoon.

“Jiyoon. Just follow me I will take you safely to the boss room.”

However, Cha Ji-yoon did not pay attention to Ace.

She stood behind Nam Do-yoon, staring blankly at Nam Do-yoon.

I really don’t understand.

A while ago Cha Ji-yoon completely excluded me and only talked to Nam Do-yoon.

Moreover, he seemed to believe that Nam Do-yoon would destroy all the traps this time.

What the hell is that burdensome bastard?

Ace bit his teeth.

“…Are you sure you want to follow Nam Do-yoon? Ji-yoon.”

“…Do you have a problem?”

“You will regret not following me.”

“….”

Ace stuck to the wall to her left and began to take her steps in front of her.

I will definitely prove that I am right.

Ace smiled.

The soil she is stepping on is not sinking down at all.

In other words, the locations of the traps she found are all correct.

If you go a little further, you will arrive at the boss room in front of you.

And he stepped on the soil in front of him without question.

As far as he detected, the trap didn’t exist here.

“!!!”

But,

Suuk-

He took one step and the ground disappeared.

His body started leaning towards it.

It was because the center of gravity was already leaning in that direction.

“Ouch”

He managed to hold on to the edge of the cliff and cling to it.

“Ugh”

Then he barely used his strength to hold onto it and stand up.

“hehehehe.”

I really thought I was going to die.

He sighed heavily.

But, just coming this far is amazing.

Perhaps Nam Do-yoon and Cha Ji-yoon are still unable to take a step.

You won’t even know where the trap is.

But they didn’t show up.

“…?”

What is it?

He looked back thoughtlessly.

There was an open door to the boss room.

“…….”

A loud noise could be heard from inside, as if a fierce battle was already going on with the boss.

Ace moved his steps towards the boss room.

And the moment you open the door to the boss room and enter.

Toouk-

Someone hit Ace hard on the back of his neck.

Ace lost consciousness in an instant.

“This is where you hid the ‘crystal’ ring, right?”

A terrifying demonic energy emanated from his body.

He started looking inside the boss room.
