The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 49



Only Krnovel

“that… … .”

“huh?”

“Are you human?”

The group that came out of the barrier, wondering about the leader who had not given any signal, turned their gaze to where the leader was blankly staring.

I saw a person there. However, with blood all over his body and mechanically shoveling poison with a rake, he looked more like a ghost than a person.

No one could easily answer the third-year female student’s question. Under the circumstances, was the dazzling light source and strange sounds felt inside the barrier the work of that person?

Only then did the party feel the relief of being free from the poison claws and the fear of a person covered in blood all at the same time.

“electricity… … ?”

“ah! no way!”

A faint electric current flowed around Inyoung, who was digging for bugs instead of the ground. The twins who discovered it first reacted.

The leader asked if he knew someone. Her twin brother nodded and said he would ask and come.

After asking several times if he was sure, the leader let his twin brother go.

“hello!”

“huh? uh. what.”

“You are senior Davide, right?”

As the twin brother approached and got close, Davide suddenly turned his head. The others flinched at the strange sight.

The twin brother called Davide in a friendly manner. Davide just looked at him with a puzzled face.

I came here because I heard a strange noise, and it was full of bugs. So, I suddenly took out the lightning spike and swung it.

But then a familiar face appeared.

“… … That person. “I don’t have a gas mask.”

“What? Huh?”

The twin sister said, pointing to Davide’s face. Only then did the party realize that Davide was not wearing any protective gear.

There are no gas masks or special protective clothing to protect against minor injuries. I’m just wearing the combat uniform provided by the school.

“You were the twin who was on the same team as Winter back then?”

“Winter? Ah, you mean winter. yes. “I was grateful at that time.”

“What’s going on? What’s going on here?”

For some reason, we were having a comfortable conversation, and then the party, who had let their guard down, approached us.

“That Davide?”

“hmm? who?”

“… … He’s a third-year senior. We even took classes together.”

“Because I’m not interested.”

Davide’s appearance up close was a little scary. Her mysterious sea-blue hair was occasionally dyed red, and there were vivid traces of dried blood all over her body.

It looks like there are no injuries, but the fact that all that blood belongs to the monster creates a terrible sense of dissonance.

Does David have that kind of ability? The leader who asked a trivial question asked several questions.

Fortunately, Davide answered truthfully. We exchanged questions and answers with each other, and the leader was able to roughly understand the current situation.

“First of all, thank you. I survived thanks to you.”

“yes? Ah then. “That hemisphere.”

“I was suddenly taken by surprise. I needed a place to catch my breath.”

Davide then remembered a hemisphere that particularly caught his eye. He was the same hemisphere I saw during Acid Gekko.

As I turned my gaze, I saw a female student with auburn hair. She nodded as soon as her eyes met Davide’s.

Davide responded by waving his hand.

“No shame, but do you know that there is a lighthouse around here?”

“Yes. Well, I’m going there too. Let’s go together. I know the way.”

Can I trust him? I had a moment of doubt. Davide is the kind of person who naturally raises such questions.

But I nodded. Even though it looks like this, it is a lifesaver.

If he had been left alone, he would have been able to escape somehow, but he could have died because the tunnel collapsed or air could not pass through while he was resting due to lack of magic power.

It’s enough to prevent me from going through such a scary situation. The leader felt deep gratitude to Davide.

“Lightning? Dropping lightning?”

“To be exact, I blew it.”

“… … You’re not a wizard, are you?”

The third-year female student seemed a little uneasy. It was understandable, but the leader stepped forward to stop her.

“sorry. “My colleague is sensitive right now.”

“no. “I don’t care.”

It really seems that way, David’s face is incredibly calm. Hehe. The leader smiled a little carefreely.

I don’t know, but it seems like it has changed. If it had been a long time ago that I would have even thought of stepping forward and saving him. It must be embarrassing to see someone pretending not to know.

That too. That hemisphere made of dirt was bound to be visible, and there was a thorn in its center, moving around it, so it couldn’t be ignored.

“What is that?”

Fortunately, the path Davide had guided us to was the right one. A tall building that didn’t fit in with the forest. It looked exactly like a real lighthouse and was emitting light.

However, it was not visible because it was covered by thick poisonous fog. The leader, who was approaching, hurriedly gave a hand signal. The party quickly hid themselves.

Davide looked at the leader with a strange face, but he didn’t even look at Davide.

“Blood stains.”

The leader who had stepped forward first looked surprised at the bright red traces that appeared in his field of vision. It was clearly a bloodstain. Such things were spread all around the lighthouse.

After observing for a while and not finding any signs, the leader withdrew his hand signal. Only then did the party slowly approach.

Of course, David was the only one looking at them with a dumbfounded expression.

“incantation?”

“No, it’s not systematic. It’s just scattered.”

“Are you saying that a massacre occurred?”

The leader asked the twins, who had magical aptitude, about the possibility of witchcraft. The twins shook their heads. If it wasn’t systematic, no magic could be felt.

The leader’s friend frowned at the twins’ answer. There were many traces of blood. It made me wonder if it was flowing like a river made of blood.

If I hadn’t been wearing a gas mask, I would have gagged at the smell of blood. Despite the enormous amount, there was no sign of a body anywhere.

“Has a predator come out?”

“Don’t say such horrible things.”

If a predator appears in the middle of the swamp, this is a disaster evacuation. It means that the rescue team and everything else are already dead.

That heavy-assed guy hasn’t been out in 70 years, so it’s unlikely. Such an assumption actually affects the morale. It’s better to try to ignore it.

“I did it?”

“what?”

“no. “I was resting at the lighthouse, and I saw some cubs.”

“… … .”

Davide came forward, as if it was difficult to watch the nonsense anymore. The leader opened his mouth blankly.

I can’t even tell if I heard it right now. I can’t believe I made this bloodstain, but did I do it just to look like a fool?

“You’re just looking at me like I’m prey. “I scolded him.”

“… … As expected. Duhane.”

“yes?”

“no.”

Duhane is a hunting family. A person who was born a hunter gets angry simply because he was viewed as prey.

When you give the reason why it’s called Duhane, it somehow makes sense. The word Duhane is truly a great word.

The leader was not used to the changed Davide. He wondered if someone else was pretending to be Davide.

But when you look at this, it’s just Duhane himself. Davide was like this a year ago too.

“How many did you catch? It wasn’t just one or two that were lost?”

“Forty? “I think it killed him that much.”

“And what about the body?”

“When I die, I get sucked into the swamp.”

“It’s a strange phenomenon. Is it related to the concentration of the poison fog?”

Anyway, it wasn’t the worst case scenario. It was said that there was no connection with the predator. Relieved by that, the leader was once again surprised by Davide’s attitude.

A year ago, I was an uneducated person who spoke informally. But now, when people call me a senior, they quickly respond.

That crazy dog ​​has risen to the level of a human being. I don’t know who it is, but it can be said to be a remarkable feat. Or maybe the excommunication was that much of a shock.

“Luckily the lighthouse is safe.”

“It’s functional, right? “It’s not cool, though.”

“We’re going to call rescue here. What are you going to do?”

“Me. I have something to do.”

“to do?”

“yes.”

Davide didn’t seem to want to say anything more. The leader nodded at this and also turned off his attention. You must bear the cost of every choice.

There’s no need to worry about Davide, who isn’t in your party. After all, if you’re going around alone like this, there must be something you can rely on.

“Twins.”

“yes?”

“yes?”

“Your answer is the same. After all, you are wizards. Do you have a magic backpack or something?”

The twins nodded absentmindedly at David’s unexpected question.

“Why the magic backpack?”

“There’s some loot I didn’t get. It’s a shame.”

Davide pointed to his backpack. It was bulging and looked odd.

I couldn’t tell because of the blood, but it was a tentacle. There was a bundle of tentacles hanging like trees on a sack, neatly tied together, next to the backpack.

“Swamp ants? “Are you sure these are all swamp ants?”

Antennae are a byproduct of swamp ants. These vicious creatures are among the top three monsters to avoid in the Poison Swamp.

Their tentacles were countless.

“You killed them all?”

“Compatibility advantage?”

I want to ask if you think something like that can be explained. Living in groups with a hard exoskeleton. He alone killed close to 200 viciously aggressive monsters.

With the loot right in front of me, it wasn’t easy to deny it. The leader literally panicked.

“Are you going to replace the purifier?”

Seeing the leader nodding, Davide also entered the lighthouse. Since I just fired a lightning bolt, I need to fill the cooldown time for 30 minutes even if I can’t do it.

You never know what will happen, so it’s better to be prepared as a last resort. It’s not a last resort, but I throw it away every time I get the chance.

“thank you.”

“done.”

David, who was leaning against the wall of the lighthouse, was approached by his twin sister. She bowed deeply and expressed her gratitude.

As I waited at the lighthouse for a moment, I heard a irritating sound of wings flapping. Something that made me feel physiologically disgusted.

I went to check because I was curious, and I saw a swarm of bugs circling around something.

There were so many bugs that I couldn’t see the center. Thinking it might be hunting something, I suddenly struck it with a lightning bolt.

All I wanted was to quickly stop the unpleasant sound of wings. For example, it was like saying there was no such thing as good intentions.

“Replace the purifier tank. “There’s a spare on the shelf over there.”

“yes. Rather, is it okay for you not to wear a gas mask?”

“Even if you eat some poison, people won’t die easily.”

“… … “Normally, I die.”

She seemed interested in David walking around without a gas mask. Her twin brother, who sympathized with her, came over and joined the conversation.

“decoding?”

“No. Then there will inevitably be times when you are poisoned.”

“Then what if it detoxifies the body as soon as the poison enters it? At a speed that we wouldn’t even notice?”

“That level of decoding ability? It’s not impossible, but it’s an extra-human ability.”

Davide, who had now left the guys discussing among themselves, fell back against the wall and yawned.

He could feel the twins’ eyes on him. Those who overheard the twins’ conversation also looked at Davide.

“What are you looking at?”

Outside. It suited me.
