The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 47



Only Krnovel

After leaving the chapel with excitement, I headed to the place where the academic bulletin board was located.

There is no particular reason for coming to this place full of all kinds of requests. If there is a request worth doing where you want to go, do it together.

I found a familiar name in the section divided into districts. [Gehenna Swamp]. Commonly called the Poison Swamp.

Because it is a very cumbersome dungeon, it has the most requests. A place where you can only enter if you wear all kinds of protective gear because of the poisonous fog.

For safety reasons, the amount of time available is limited. The schedule is too tight compared to the cost involved. So it won’t be this popular.

There are more things to worry about, and it is difficult in many ways. These places are very dangerous and difficult to enter.

“I have a request for you… ….”

As I stared at him for a while, an academic staff member approached me. She smiled softly, showing the experience of a civil servant, and had to stop mid-sentence.

It was only then that he realized that he was the one who had spoken to him. He was now wearing his combat uniform and had his long hair tied up tightly.

I guess I should blame my own eyes for not recognizing the sea-blue hair.

“I would like to ask for the most recent request related to the poisonous swamp.”

“Ah yes.”

Her eyes widened as if she didn’t expect me to speak to her so gently.

When I saw him quickly come to his senses and start looking for requests, I felt an inexplicable enthusiasm.

“Do you like having a lot of people? Or something a little closer? What about Nando’s? “Something with an early deadline?”

“no. “The most recent one.”

“……yes.”

She handed me two request forms. I thanked her briefly and looked over the forms.

“hmm. The poisonous swamp is dangerous, so you should go with someone who suits you well. “Are you having a party?”

“no. “Alone.”

“Ah~ Alone. yes? Alone!?”

No wonder she was surprised. Because the poisonous swamp is such a dangerous place. But for me, it’s a little different.

The biggest problem with the poison swamp is the poison fog. If it’s liquid-based, it’s useless to me.

Duhane’s basic water resistance, and the liquid resistance gained as a bonus effect from the skill given by Anaye.

A moderate poison cannot even penetrate the body. And the poison fog of the poison swamp is one of those moderate poisons.

“He. He won’t be able to pass the examination alone.”

“Judging?”

“Yes. The Poison Swamp is quite dangerous. It’s also where the most casualties occur, so you need to prove that you have the skills to return safely.”

“… … “To whom?”

“Of course it’s a bachelor’s degree. “It would be a pain if I made a mistake and ended up dying.”

I didn’t know this either. In the game, all you had to do was apply and go to the dungeon. That’s true considering the risk.

“How do you judge it?”

“Let me help you. No. It’s dangerous to be alone. “I barely even passed the screening.”

“I’m not saying it can’t be done at all.”

“that… … “That’s true.”

She seemed to have guessed. She sighed deeply, realizing that I had no intention of listening to her.

I also had no intention of backing down. Are you telling me to leave it to people I don’t even know? The poison swamp is dangerous and annoying enough even without the poison fog.

In such a place, there is nothing more dangerous than an incompetent ally. I wonder if there is a guy like Soloven. Such high-level personnel have no reason to come to the poisonous swamp.

I’d rather be alone.

“How is the judging done?”

“You just need to get permission from the person in charge of the review. Usually, the family contacts you in advance?”

“hmm. okay. “Is it okay to say that there is no set method?”

“yes. Of course, it would be better not to do anything that could cause trouble.”

I want to deal with it now that it’s out. I have to get permission in advance to go in next time.

I had no idea it was such an annoying dungeon in the game. If you think about it, there is no one who suits you better than me right now.

“Then let’s go to the judging room.”

“… … Yes. I will guide you.”

“Oh, is there any poison you collected from the poisonous swamp?”

“yes? There is, but… … .”

“Please lend me some.”

She tilted her head at my sudden request. I just shrugged.

She handed me a bottle of poison from the janitor’s table. Eventually, she teased her steps, leaving a message telling him to follow her. I followed him.

-smart.

-Come on in.

The place we arrived was the duty officer’s office. What is this? Is there an officer on duty here? There was a small hand knocking right away. I remembered hearing a deep voice from somewhere on the other side of the door.

“Officer on duty.”

“Is something wrong?”

In the officer’s office on duty, a gorilla was seen doing paperwork with an upright posture. The gorilla professor I met once over a suspension case.

The gorilla sighed deeply as he watched me follow the guide. He felt strange at the sigh he let out without even listening to the story.

This kind of treatment. It’s new.

“What accident did you get into again?”

“Me?”

“… … “Do you have a face that says you don’t know what’s going on?”

The gorilla scolded me for not answering the questions. Of course, I was confident because I had nothing to be embarrassed about. The gorilla, whose eyes were twitching, looked at the guide.

The receptionist smiled awkwardly.

“Because the student wanted to be judged.”

“Judging?”

“Yes. This is a screening for admission to [Gehenna Swamp].”

“her.”

The gorilla laughed as if he was shocked at the guide’s words. Soon she motioned to me. I approached with a puzzled look on my face.

“Davide.”

“yes.”

“If you want to die, tell me. “I will crush your head.”

“… … .”

Is this really what a teacher who teaches students should say? The gorilla’s face crumpled as if my cold eyes really felt sincere.

“So in what way?”

“I just need to get back from there safely.”

“okay.”

I briefly distanced myself from the gorilla. That monstrous physique would certainly impede my actions.

The gazes of two people became entangled as I suddenly walked away. They were unperturbed even when I took the poison bottle out of my pocket.

“What. that.”

“wait a minute.”

The gorilla’s questions continued, but before that, the cap of the poison bottle was opened.

The gorilla noticed the poison rising from the bottle and frowned. The receptionist looked at me with an interested face.

“Gyaaaah!”

“what are you doing!”

I drank it straight up. The startled gorilla rushed at me, but it was already gone.

The taste was a bit bitter and astringent, like anchovy fish sauce. There was a very fishy smell, so my eyebrows naturally wrinkled. The guide screamed at my misdeeds.

“Bwak.”

After hitting my stomach a few times while feeling bloated, a burp came out. The receptionist caught me burping helplessly.

“Infirmary! Infirmary!”

“I’m fine.”

“duty… … . to?”

Thanks for the cute response. The guide had blank eyes and the gorilla looked dazed.

“Is it okay if I just stay like this for about 30 minutes?”

“… … .”

“What is force? I sparred with Soloven and won. “I think you should ask directly whether it’s true or not.”

“her.”

The gorilla kept rubbing the corners of his eyes, as if he was feeling extremely tired. His face showed the hardships of a salaryman.

The guide was stomping his feet and fidgeting, but he soon seemed a little relieved to see my calm face.

“Please don’t do this.”

“Then you won’t allow it.”

“after.”

The gorilla let out a deep sigh from his dantian and headed towards the table where he had been working on his paperwork.

“Whether you die or not, it’s up to you. Go quickly. “When I look at it, I get heated.”

“thank you.”

I suddenly lowered my head as the permit was handed over. I left the duty room with the guide.

“… … I didn’t know it would pass.”

“It’s no big deal.”

“You take poison like that, is this a big deal?”

“You even know how to joke.”

“… … joke. haha.”

I often see people who have given up on something. She seemed curious about why I was so calm even after drinking poison.

Of course, I had no intention of telling you. I focused my attention on the Academy map hanging next to the bulletin board. The island was quite large, so I kept in mind the possibility of getting lost.

“Are you going to listen to the safety rules?”

“yes.”

“Isn’t there a need for protective clothing…?”

“Yes. No need.”

“Even the gas mask… … .”

“Yes. No need.”

“But you still have to be on time. If you don’t come back after 10 hours, the rescue team will be dispatched.”

“hmm. “Can’t we extend it to 24 hours?”

“yes.”

Be firm. I don’t plan on staying there for long either. The poison swamp in the game is depicted as a damp and unpleasant place.

The swamp isn’t a very good environment, so staying in it for too long will only make you feel uncomfortable.

“You must return safely.”

“yes?”

“Me and the officer on duty will be fired.”

“……Ah yes.”

I was puzzled by the favor that appeared out of nowhere, and then I heard the truth. She was looking at me with an expression that seemed earnest at first glance.

It’s such an earnestness that I can’t even say no to it. I have no intention of dying.

“Can I see the monster distribution map?”

“ah! wait a minute.”

While she was away for a while, I fell into contemplation. The route was roughly planned and there was nothing to prepare.

The monster they are targeting is [Swamp Ant]. They have hard and tough exoskeletons, and they live in groups, making them a pain in the ass.

But everyone is equal in front of lightning. These guys’ weak points are fire and lightning.

However, due to the nature of the swamp, fire is reduced by half, but lightning is actually improved. It’s a perfect counter.

I was going to catch those ants and cut off their antennae. It’s tougher and more elastic than other leathers.

“What kind of monster do you want to catch?”

“Swamp ants. I have a request.”

“Oh, that’s it. It’s something the bachelor’s office said.”

“yes.”

“… … “You must have a hard time alone.”

“Well, it doesn’t look that difficult.”

She fidgeted again. Of all people, it had to be a swarm of ants. The bachelor’s side only made a formal request. They considered it a request exclusively for the Imperial Knights.

She looked into my eyes and shook her head. I quickly gave up and started reaching out in prayer.

“Please don’t let it get cut.”

“I don’t think anyone would listen to a prayer like that.”

Of course, that wasn’t something I, who doesn’t pray, should say. I checked the monster distribution map she gave me.

Some of them were spread out widely, while others were crowded together in one place like ants.

The so-called named monster was in the center of the swamp, so I thought I just had to be careful there. He didn’t seem to have anything else to watch out for.

If you proceed as originally planned, you’ll be done. The estimated time is about 8 hours. Since you don’t have to worry about the poisonous fog, the travel time has been drastically reduced.

“What kind of magic power is mainly detected in the poisonous swamp?”

“It’s a property of water. “It’s also quite dark.”

The physical condition at the Sea Temple was perfect. The sticky sea magic actually gave vitality to the body. I don’t know if it was because it was the sea or simply because there was a lot of water around.

You’ll find out in this expedition. If you’re affected by water, this is something you can use strategically.

I was worried, but I was more excited than worried. I said goodbye to the friendly guide and left the place.
