50 – Ashur Library Tour

”What, what?!”

Lee Byung-chan was so shocked that he dropped his walkie-talkie. What kind of situation is this? No matter how much I shook my head, I couldn’t think of anything.

“Oh, no…”

“Ehh~ those pitiful things. Being so easily defeated, you hear the sound of a demon.”

On the other hand, Lee Yu-mi responded calmly. I heard from the leader in the first place that it was just the number of people and the number of Mines that were filled.

“Ooh, what shall we do?”

“Ha… What do you do?”

Rather than that, he was more angry about having to take care of Lee Byung-chan as if he were a babysitter.

“You can just do it. The electricity in the library has already been cut off, and even the communication devices have been paralyzed due to the dungeon conversion. As planned, senpai, go find Kim Yi-don or someone who is doing something.”

To be honest, I don’t know if killing Kim Yi-do will help us, but I just wanted to send Lee Byung-chan away quickly. Even if he wasn’t really stronger than me. Ugh…

“Oh, I see!”

Lee Byung-chan hurriedly packed his staff and left.

And Lee Yoo-mi, who was left alone, licked her lips, thinking of Lee Seo-hyun.

She is the first in the whole school in the third year of Delaon Academy. How strong will it be? And at the same time, how pretty would it be if I knocked that b*tch down? Her body trembled at the ecstasy she felt only in her imagination.

“hehehe… I’ve decided.”

Lee Seohyun. As much as you, I will definitely kill you.

She smiled at her black glowing right hand.

***

5 Minutes before the incident.

PM 4:09

Thunderstorm Guild Great Library 1st floor.

Seohyun and Chaewon were watching the club members to see if they were reading well. Then she found Song Da-eun and Kim So-hee and walked over there.

“Is this a magical science book?”

“Yes, yes.”

Song Da-eun answered while stuttering her words as if the two seniors were uncomfortable. Then, Seohyun replied with a bright face.

“There’s nothing to be too nervous about. I don’t know the deputy director, but I have a good personality.”

“Eolssi. Didn’t you say the opposite?”

I was joking about this and looked at the book.

[Magical Science Experiment Log -1-]

[Author – Zagha and Bberma]

“This man was quite a famous wizard and scientist. His experimental journals on magic science were burned, so few survive…”

It was as Chaewon said. Unfortunately, there was nothing helpful. It was just an experiment result that exploded frequently, just as Song Da-eun experienced. But she smiled and said:

“It’s okay. Thank you for your concern.”

“There are also on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors, so keep looking around. You have a lot of time.”

“Yes. Manager.”

It was then.

Koo Goo Goong…

With a strange sound, all the electricity in the library went off. Chaewon called Seohyun in a panicked voice.

“Is it a power outage?”

“Hmm…”

It is easy to tell if it is a simple blackout. When you take out your phone…

[Unable to communicate.]

Is the gate open?

Seohyun immediately used the global detection magic.

The gate wasn’t open. When the gate opens, a large range becomes a dungeon.

However, only a part of the dungeon was turned into a dungeon, and the communication device was in a state of failure. In a word, it means that it is someone’s work.

“Did the demons do it?”

“Huh, huh?! Really? What should I do?”

“For now…”

Perfect!

As Seohyun flicked her hand, only the first floor library lights came on. It was her own electrical magic that powered her.

“Librarian. Please take them out of the library. Evacuate to a place that has not been converted into a dungeon and ask for support from the Thunderstorm Guild and Beast Association.”

Seohyun reassured the librarian in a calm voice as if she had been through this many times.

“What will Seohyun do?”

“Me and Chaewon will go up to the rooftop and bring down those who couldn’t evacuate.”

“Me too? Well, it’s time to pay for the meal.”

In this way, the students on the first floor were sent out of the library and the two went up to the second floor.

“During the library blackout, some dungeons… The goal is to be inside the library.”

“Perhaps so? Be careful. Head of the Magic Research Department, Seohyun Lee. You could be the target.”

“Whoops. That’s great. I wanted to take care of the devils at this point.”

Unexpectedly, however, not a single person calling themselves demons appeared. Is it really just a blackout? Or is the gate open? Gates are not entirely dungeons, but some of them are not dungeons?

Seohyun led the students who struggled to evacuate while in trouble. Among the crabs, there were several students who offered to help them.

“Can we help you? There’s nothing to be afraid of when Yueun Choi and I come together.”

“It’s okay. One of me is enough. If anything, the two of you should protect the kids outside.”

You can trust Choi Yoo-eun.

“Yes.”

“Huh? If you alone are enough, can I just go down?”

Instead of answering, Seohyun grabbed Chaewon’s hand and dragged her by force.

“Fall over! Don’t pull.”

Seohyun and Chaewon were left alone again, and Seohyun conveyed these words in a serious tone.

“It’s so quiet that it makes me wonder. It’s almost as if someone expected a demon attack and prepared for it.”

“Hmm…”

Chaewon also didn’t respond in any way, probably thinking that way. Rather, I was guessing who did it.

“At first, I thought it was Choi Yoo-eun. I was reading a book in the library… Who is the student who couldn’t evacuate right now?”

“Three of them are Kim Yi-do, 1st grader, Lee Yoo-mi, 2nd grader, and Lee Byung-chan, 3rd grader.”

Chaewon remembered what Lee Byung-chan said in the past. The story that Kim Yi-do is Mine.

“If that’s true, wouldn’t Lee Byung-chan have prepared for this in advance?”

“Hmm…”

Intuition denies him, but there is not one or two pieces of evidence that match. In this case, you have no choice but to check it yourself.

“Didn’t Kim go to the 4th floor to see his magic science? Let’s go to the 4th floor first.”

“Yes.”

At that moment, from far away, I heard the sound of laughter that I couldn’t hear.

“hehehehe. You’re here, seniors.”

“Yumi Lee? Are you okay?”

She was approaching her, but the ominous energy that radiated from her stopped her steps.

“Wait. Don’t go near me, Chaewon.”

“…Mine. Yumi Lee, were you Mine?”

“Ahahahaha! As expected, senior manager and deputy manager. You’ll notice right away. I’ve been looking forward to this moment since before! Killing you will increase my value!!!”

At her half-crazy words, Seohyun shook her head.

“Me too, how low I am.”

“What?!”

“To think that you can defeat me with just the power of a demon…”

***

[Lee Seo-hyeon (Lee) has defeated the demon Lee Yu-mi.]

[From now on, there is only one Mine left, Lee Byung-chan!]

It was just like the original. Now then, shall I go to defeat Lee Byung-chan?

Inside the darkened 4th floor library.

I think it’s like this. I’ve been learning basic magic, headlights.

Originally, turning on a light in a dark place like this would attract attention and make it easy to become a target, but in the current situation, that’s rather good.

[Used headlight magic.]

I could see my surroundings clearly as if I had a flashlight on my body.

By the way, where is Lee Byung-chan? Uh annoying to find I wonder if he needs to find me. How did it become so popular? It was time to wander around the library grumbling.

A secluded space, the space shook unnaturally.

[Eye of the sky has been activated.]

I lightly dodged Lee Byung-chan, who rushed at me as if he was about to attack me. It’s finally here. He was mad at waiting.

“Haa… Haa…! As expected, I was right! You could easily dodge my attack. You…”

“So what?”

As in the original story, ‘I was hiding my power!’ Would you say

“You are the owner of the curse of Nemesis!”

I was taken aback for a moment, but I kept my composure again.

“Why do you think so?”

“Because the sword is black!”

“…”

Ah, unlike the original, he’s holding a black sword. So, is it different from the original? It’s ridiculous.

“Khuhu, nobody believed me, but if I kill you and take that knife, then they will. Come on… Come on, give up your life and that knife.”

“Crazy.”

I decided to use his argument as it is before the fight.

“If, as you said, let’s say this is the curse of Nemesis. Then how do you take it? Can you fight and defeat the opponent holding the curse of Nemesis?”

“Uh, uh… Um.”

He fell silent as if he was at odds with himself. In the original work, he was a demon with strong power but low intelligence. He was playing his role very well.

Before drawing the sword, I inspected every corner of his body with the eyes of the sky.

The communication device is already partially blocked by dungeon conversion, and since you are not a light mage, you will not be able to use wide-range communication magic. It doesn’t matter if I just knock it down.

“Mo, I don’t know! That’s enough, so give me your life and sword!!!”

Suddenly!

Lee Byung-chan turned to ashes and disappeared. When he was hit by my sword, he disappeared as if he was convinced that it was Nemesis’ curse and left these words.

“Yeah, I was right…”

If you were right, you should have saved yourself. Stupid

[You defeated all the monsters who infiltrated the Thunderstorm Guild Library!]

[You have obtained Lost Magic Science Journal 4 as a reward.]

“After…”

“Kim too! Was he here?”

Lee Seo-hyun and Han Chae-won appeared at good timing. It seemed that he had not heard the conversation he had just had with Lee Byung-chan.

“Are you okay, Ido? Lee Byung-chan just turned to ashes and disappeared… He must have been a demon. Did you defeat him?”

Seohyun replied with a strange smile at a car that was difficult to make excuses for.

“It looks like he destroyed himself by using too much force. Kim, who is ranked 222nd, isn’t an opponent you can defeat, is he?”

What is it? Did you even notice something? For now, I fleshed out the answer.

“That’s right. I was lucky.”

“Haa… It’s really fortunate. Actually, Lee Byung-chan was claiming you as the Mine. But as Seohyun said, Lee Byung-chan was the Mine, not you.”

In order to get that answer, it is said that the manager tortured Yumi Lee, a dying demon, with electricity. Glad she’s on the same side. She’s such a scary woman.

“That’s what happened. But did you suspect me of being a demon? It’s a bit disappointing.”

When I said it as a joke, Chaewon replied with a smile.

“I couldn’t help it. These days, you keep reading the wind magic book, just in case…”

Well, reading other attribute magic books is something to be suspicious of. But can’t you read it out of curiosity? Too much

I told him that, and he kept replying that he was sorry.

“Seohyun is saying that he has awakened the second attribute or something. It’s ridiculous.”

“…”

Why does that person have such good intuition? I will turn I shuddered and answered.

“That makes no sense.”

“Isn’t it? The reason I read the book of the wind magician is actually that I got a girlfriend from the wind wizard. Am I right?”

“Yes?”

This person will turn around for a different reason.

“That, wasn’t that the case too? Then why did you read the book of cheating?”

“Just like that. I read it out of curiosity after seeing Lee Ye-seul.”

“…”

“…”

The two made faces of regret.

“Did you bet on me again?”

“Yeah. In the end, we were both wrong… But I also didn’t know that your ideal type was Lee Ye-seul.”

“Yes?”

Why do you say that?

“It’s going to be tough because Master is so popular. I’ll cheer you on.”

This misunderstanding seemed much more difficult to resolve than the demon misunderstanding.

***

When the case was all sorted out, the director and vice president and I finally got out of the library.

As soon as we came out, the staff greeted us as if they were worried about us.

“Chief! Vice-Chief! Kim Yi-do! Are all three of them okay?”

“Uh… I have to tell you a rather shocking story. Lee Byung-chan and Lee Yu-mi were the two main culprits in this incident.”

“!!!”

At that time, a senior member of the 2nd grade approached me. Looking at his expression, he seemed very worried.

“Kim, why did you come down so late? Seo, no way…!”

Looking at the magic science journal I was holding tightly in my hand, I added these words as if I was moved.

“That’s right. Even in this danger, for the magic science journal to give to a friend…”

“Yes?”

What is this senior saying?

I just received this after completing the quest. The words came up to his throat, but he managed to hold it in.

“I risked my life to stay in the library on the 4th floor and search for materials! We didn’t even know that… hehehe!”

I’m crying on my own without knowing how moved I was. As a result, the misunderstanding grew deeper and deeper.
