I Want To Save the Academy Time-Limited Madman - Chapter 108
108 – How to fight and win against monsters (36) – Stab me with that sword.
Count Adrian looked dumbfounded.
“Ahahahaha! This is why I like humans.”
The Count continued to smile, as if he was very pleased with my answer. The sound of laughter is quite annoying.
“Your king trampled our homeland, but I don’t think all humans are like that. Sometimes mutants like you pop up?”
Come to think of it, it has been more than a hundred years since the Monster Tower rose. In a way, it was natural for Count Adrian to be as excited as the local hair salon Happy. Moreover, access to the 13th floor was only recently allowed.
Oh, by the way, Happy is a dog.
“It’s been such a long time since I last met you? And you’re so kind and treat me like a puppy?”
“Yes. The more I look at him, the more he looks just like Happy. That kid only barks at me.”
How can you even read people’s thoughts? We need to quickly imagine something else. Actually, I respect you, Count Adrian.
“…It was too tiresome to imagine, so you just let the thought slip out of your mouth? You’re probably the only human being who treats me like an asshole and still has sane limbs. Consider it an honor.”
Count Adrian seemed a little annoyed and hesitated in his actions. It’s difficult when I’m angry… Should I try one more time?
“Actually, I respect you, Count Adrian.”
“If you mess up one more time, I’ll make you tongue twister potatoes.”
“Now that I think about it, I have never respected you, Count Adrian.”
Count Adrian’s benevolent smile is cracking little by little. This is quite interesting. Oh, I respect you. Actually, it’s a lie. If I respect you, I will respect Happy, who makes a living at the beauty salon day after day. Actually, it’s a lie. Seeing the beautiful Count made me feel crazy, but looking at him again, I think our Happy is even prettier…
“…hehehe.”
As she continued to use her mind reading skills, she thought as hard as she could with her brain. The more she did, the more her expression became cracked. If it were a webtoon, wouldn’t there have been a sound effect like ‘Bwak!’? I was already bored waiting for the other guys, but it worked out well.
“hehehe… I guess it didn’t go well?”
In the end, she couldn’t bear it anymore and lifted my body.
It’s not a joke, it’s real. My arms were lifted straight into the air.
When I sensed death, I became humble.
“Couldn’t we, as intellectuals, resolve this issue through dialogue? There is also a saying that not all humans are evil.”
“That’s right. If you look for good people, there are plenty of them. But as far as I know… The little boy who makes fun of the old man seems like an evil person? Am I wrong?”
Count Adrian’s face turned red. It’s like a time bomb about to explode. If he dies like this on the 13th floor, he won’t have the honor of seeing Luna’s face.
“Actually, I respect you,”
“Respect is such a mess!! If you hate reading minds so much, why don’t you first ask me not to do it!! I ate tens of thousands more bowls of food than you, you pale young blood bastard!! That’s right, I’m old!! “Does it feel that good to make fun of an old man, huh?!! What are you happy about?!!”
“…Ugh.”
My lifted body swings in all directions.
After touching my head with the floor several times, I made a promise. Let’s not make fun of old mind readers.
“Ah.”
“You haven’t come to your senses yet..?”
I got hit again. I made a promise. Just don’t make fun of the old man.
“Ah.”
Two more hits.
.
After Dyers passed the test first, successful applicants gradually appeared.
Laonzena clung to Dyers with a bright expression. The sight was somewhat unnatural, but Dyers thought so.
Because the exterior of those who hide their wounds is not always dark.
Kir Shen slapped Dyers on the shoulder with a frown on her face. It seems he came out during the ordeal.
“Anyway, this guy named Dong-gi is not helpful in life. Just leave it at that.”
“…It wasn’t me who came to the trial, it was just an illusion.”
“Shut up! Don’t you know what I did because of you! Ugh..”
The next successful candidate was Luna, who looked tired. She glared strongly at Dyers and then looked away.
Only four people gathered. Dyers looked at Count Adrian a little uneasy.
“The others didn’t pass. Especially Perpi…”
The second-in-command of the delegates and one of the strongest figures in the entire Beatus Academy. Perpi was nowhere to be seen. In a situation where every single person was precious, this loss of power was a fatal blow.
Because there is no one here who can say for sure that he is stronger than Perpi. The situation was more desperate than I thought.
“Why do you think like that when you look at me? What’s the point of giving it away if you give it to me easily? What can I do?”
Count Adrian taunted him, reading his thoughts in a despondent manner. Dyers ignored him and just stared at the entrance.
One more person is needed.
Please come.
Dyers’ prayer reached the sky. A person walked towards this place.
“…I’m glad it’s you.”
This is the first executive officer of the current student council, and now he is acting as the highest authority of the student council now that the student council president has gone out.
An office worker who drove out his boss for his beliefs and despaired of the terrible workload.
“Am I the last? I’m a little late.”
Sili Latina.
Instead of allowing Dyers to go on an expedition, Latina made a suggestion.
He asked me to go with him.
At first Dyers rejected her offer. The reason was that it was too early. Then Latina became even more stubborn. It hurt my pride that he still treated me like a kid.
Who cares about whom when they are much weaker than themselves? It was a useless nonsense. She spoke confidently against Dyers.
I am no longer the kid you knew.
In the end, Dyers accepted her offer. It was thrilling to know that the man had surrendered to him for the first time.
It was the moment when Latina’s participation in the expedition was confirmed.
“Now it’s goodbye.”
The entrance to the ordeal has been completely closed. Dyers and his party waved their hands at Count Adrian and proceeded to the door to the next level.
Count Adrian took a sip of the tea he made himself and exhaled briefly.
“It’s my first time meeting them in person, but… Their children have already grown up so much.”
The children who intrigued Count Adrian for the second time.
Since that meeting, she has never killed anyone. She just gives them a trial and either drives them away or gives them a chance.
“…Anyway, what can you do if you’re so weak? The owner of the 13th floor is a very, very strong person.”
Adrian savored his tea again. After a while, she remembered her good idea and turned towards Dyers and the others.
“I shouldn’t have done this in the first place. A gift would be okay, right? What makes a good friend?”
Some said she could see the past, present, and even the future.
“Faverde. It bothers me that I’m the disciple of that scary human, but…”
Even she couldn’t see the future of that white-haired man. In the past, all kinds of threads were so tangled that it was impossible to see clearly.
Since she is not an omnipotent god, she only helps.
“I wish you good luck on your future path, my cheesy nephew.”
Adrian gave Dyers a gift without knowing and then enjoyed the entertainment again.
.
When I opened the fourth gate, the people around me disappeared.
First I looked around. It was an ordinary room with a decent interior.
However, no matter how hard I tried to open the door, I could not open it. What level is this? I think I might remember it…
While I was thinking about it, I heard a knocking sound from the room next door.
“What’s going on all of a sudden? Isn’t there anyone there?! If there’s Dyers, please answer me!”
“Jenna why are you here?”
“I want to ask you something?! I suddenly woke up and this is what happened…!”
Jenna raised her voice in frustration. While I was struggling with no income, writing appeared on the wallpaper. Only then did I remember this step.
Room of Trust.
This is the stage where you can escape only when your partner and your choices match. This is one of the most important parts to pass step 4.
If your and your partner’s answers are different, one of you must die to leave this room. Or use another method.
For your information, if you and your partners team up and give the answer, you will be immediately kicked out of the dungeon. Because dungeons don’t forgive cheaters.
“Senior, there’s a choice on your wallpaper! It says you have to speak with your partner at the same time after 5 seconds? It says that if you try too hard, you’re out!”
“Yes, Jenna, I came out too.”
-You and your partner have fallen into the water. Who should you save first?
From Noble mtl dot com
3, 2, 1..
“Starting with Senior Dyers!”
“Save me first.”
– Passed. After a brief meeting and opening the door, your partner will change.
The door to the next room opened. Jenna glared at me with a face full of dissatisfaction.
“It’s really too much. I chose a senior, how can you say that?”
“Thanks to you, I passed. Of course, I will save you first.”
“..Can you believe that? I think I’m being fooled again..”
“When have you ever seen me lie? Jenna, your life is more precious.”
“…What.. If you are a senior, then what… hehehe.”
Jenna hugged me as if she was in a good mood. After spending some time, I opened the door.
Jenna. In fact, even if you lie in the options, the dungeon will kick you out as a shameful crime. I’ll take this fact to my grave.
When I opened the door, the background changed again.
.
My next partner was unfortunately Latina.
“…It’s because of you.”
In the end, we chose the opposite answer from the options and were able to meet each other.
One of the two had to die to get out.
Latina also knew that fact. Because a knife appeared along with the writing on the wallpaper.
-One of the two must remain.
That wasn’t the only problem. If everyone does not escape within 10 minutes, they will be locked in this room for the rest of their lives. Three minutes have already passed.
“…That’s what that knife means, right?”
The Latina spoke to me with a dark complexion.
Actually, there is one more way to escape. I didn’t want to use it because it was cruel and painful.
I handed her the knife to her. The Latina suddenly received a long knife.
“As you know, this room was manipulated by an illusionist.”
“…What do you want to talk about?”
“An illusionist is ultimately someone who controls the mind. That means that our mind also affects the illusionist.”
“…..”
It is natural that illusions involve interfering with someone else’s mind.
“The illusionist must also be somewhere in this fake world he created. He knows our minds and must have connected our senses to maintain this world.”
“That sound… If we’re sick, the illusionist is also sick?”
“That’s right. It’s not just the illusionist who can influence our minds. It may be a little bit, but we can also influence the illusionist.”
In the first place, this fake world itself was created using the minds of others as a medium. This is because the easiest way to use someone else’s mind is to share their mind. When mental sharing is released, the world also disappears.
However, this illusionist will never release his spirit sharing.
I would enjoy watching one of the two stab the other with a knife. In the first place, if it were this much of a monster, the pain of being stabbed by a sword wouldn’t even be painful.
You will feel pleasure when you see people crying and despairing from the pain they feel is ticklish.
From what I remember, even in this fake world, if you keep getting stabbed with a sword, you are considered dead. I don’t know what the reality is like.
The answer is pain.
The fake world will collapse only if this damned sadist bastard is made to feel the same pain that humans have felt up until now.
Before handing the Latina her knife, she scratched her finger with her knife just in case. As expected from a sadistic bastard, self-harm was completely prevented. Well, it’s only natural that he would want to see people cutting each other down, not see noble sacrifices.
“Silly Latina.”
“..Tell me.”
Right now in this room, the only person who can hurt me is the woman in front of me, Latina.
I spoke to her, to her confusion.
“Until the illusionist feels pain and removes this illusion, stab me with that sword.”
“…What?”
“I couldn’t harm myself. It seems like it was blocked.”
“…Wait, wait a minute. Do you even know what you’re talking about?”
Has a Latina ever been this embarrassed? I’ve never seen her like this even once.
I drove a wedge.
“I will never die first until the illusionist collapses from pain. Strike him quickly.”
I can tell, having endured the curse of the tongue every day.
The Howlan family’s vitality surpasses that of monsters.
“…You crazy bastard.”
The Latina’s pupils shook greatly.
