Chapter 40

40.) A Dungeon!?

The top floor of the staffsbuilding was the headmaster room, it was a vast open room that could also be saidto be aparadise for the water spirits.

After I knockonthe door totheheadmasters room then I quickly got inside, the headmaster and Rokomoko-sensei havebeen waitingtherefor me.

[Slow-kun. Just outside of this academy, we found a dungeon in the Forest of the lost, its weirdhowwecouldntfind that dungeon until now because that dungeonisa big one]

Eh, Dungeon!?

Its a word that I have never imaginedto be encountered here.

In that vast forest just outside this academy there is a dungeon, even I, the one who have knowledge from the anime, didnt know it existed.

Right now rokomoko-sensei just silently closedhis eyes and foldedhis hand in front of him.

I was staring at the headmaster face in disbelief.

Somehow his face looked to be so worn out, and the water spirits, as if trying to lighten headmasters burden, they are coming close to him.

[Its really was a coincidence that Rokomoko found it when he was searching foraneasy monster to train the students. These days Rokomoko and I have been trying our best to go inside there It really took our all just to do that. I thought we bothwereenough to do it, but I guess with only the two of us we cant reach the bottom of the dungeon.]

[Haaa, it remind me of my times when I was still an adventurer andwentdeep inside a dungeonIts friggin troublesome.By the way Dening, you are the one tracking that mercenary huh?. Geez old man, youcouldask me to do it couldnt you? This Dening here is still a student.]

I heard these twoweregoing somewhere, I cant believethatthey went intoadungeon

A dungeon will collapse when theitscore thatislocated at the deepest part of the dungeongetsdestroyed.

Even though it looks like with only the two of them theyare lacking peopleto gointo the dungeon, but actually these twospower are not a joke at all. Rokomoko-sensei was a veteran adventurer and evenhad qualifications ofa B class adventurer, so it should be so easy for these two to subjugate a dungeon thatwas bornjust recently. Andfor themtoactuallyfailto reach the bottom

[And then, Slow-kun. There is something you want to tell me,right?If its possible would you mind telling us in this mean time?]

[-Yes]

And so I told them everything.

About the magic formations, aboutthebundle of hair that hasa certain perfume on it thatis relatedto the teacher, and the magic character that was written on the magic formation.

With interest, the headmaster heardtheexplanation about my investigation, while Rokomoko-sensei took out a bundle of hair from his pocket and a disgusted expression appeared on his face.

[I see,I see. Itisreally hard to believe But it all make sense Now that I think about it,when it was her employment test, she couldnt even use fire magic at all.]

[Old man! Youre lying right? Are yousayingthatyou believe thiscrap!? I have exchangeda few words with Aruru-sensei when we were teaching the students&

nbsp;and I believe there is no way she will do something like that!]

Rokomoko-sensei seems surprised hearing that, he looked at the headmaster and me alternatively.

There isactuallyonly one hintwhichcan connect Aruru-senseitoNo face, and that washowshe falsifiedher basic magic element.

But those spirits could only be seen by no one but me, and I canttellthis method to them.

[I believe it,I was the one whom let Slow-kun decide his own investigation method, I have once heard the rumor that the wind child prodigy could actually talk heart to heart with the spirits. Besides, I dont think I have the ability to find any mercenary that couldbehiding inside this academy.]

[Being able to hear the voice of the spiritscould only happen on legendsyou old man!]

[Arent you the one who told me that Slow-kun has a love story alreadyata legendary level?]

Rokomoko-sensei scratchedhis afro hair roughly.

After that he breathedout his dissatisfaction and urgedthe headmaster to continue.

It lookedlikehe was already forcing himself to acceptthis.

[Since we found this dungeon, weare unable toput all our effortsonlyinto findingthis mercenary. And dependingon the size of the dungeon it will become a much dangerous threat than the mercenary. We need toprohibitclassesoutsideoftheacademy, and then I need to preparemore strict guards along the highway towards Yolem city.]

[Yeah. But, that dungeonisdeeper than I thought. This one was the armysfailure]

For the sake to train the students, the army should haveatinterval times,tosweepthemonsters on the forestthats justoutside the academy,justenoughto make surethey wereweak enough for the students, but it becameadifferentmattersince thebirthof this dungeon here.

The monstersinside the dungeonaresaidtoconstantly fight against each other,and that will make themevolved monstersthat not just students, even the teacherswill haveproblemsagainstthem.

To made the combination oftheheadmaster and Rokomoko-senseifailto reach the bottom of the dungeon, it means that this dungeon was notborn justrecently.

[We have been contacting the capital since a few days ago and finally got their reply. Martini Cardinal has alreadybeingdispatched towardsthe academywhile leading the Royal Army with him]

[What,theyarealreadyon themove!?]

They move really fast.

It was extremely fast, remembering that Rokomoko-sensei only found this dungeon a few days ago.

[And Rokomoko, about that talk]

[Aah, the shop keeper that was selling the monster attracting perfume has just confessed. It seems most of the perfume has been disposed of, but to whereexactly? He dont know.Is it perhaps already inside this academy? After all it was one of that mercenarysmost favorite tool.]

[Geh]

Bu,buhi!? What perfume!? Im not doing anything bad right now! BUhi!

I was breaking cold sweat when I remembered a certain perfume inside my room.

Monster attracting perfume.

It has become a prohibited goods on Daris.

But now that I think about it, it reallyisthat mercenarysfavorite tool. It was really the most efficient way toturna place into disorder.

If those things used now, it will become a big problem.

[The dungeon and the perfume.It will be reallytroublesomeif the mercenary findsout about the dungeon there. That is why we cant let this information into the public.]

If in some case a large quantity ofthatperfume was sprayed on this academy, a lot of monsterswill advance towards here.

I cant imagine what will happen if the monstersand the dungeon master of a dungeon,that even the headmaster and Rokomoko-sensei cant even clear by themselves,comesout tothe surface.

I beg you, just go back to where you came from.

[I heard that Martini cardinal and theRoyalArmy shouldarriveat Yolem tonight. And tomorrow afternoon, those people will be visiting this KurushuMagicAcademy]

[Buhi! Wasnt that extremely fast!?]

They will arrivetothis academy tomorrow!?

It seems theRoyalArmy has been moving with quite considerable forces.

And that administrative manipulative boss, Martini cardinal will personally lead them.

Hmmm, I was not that good with that person.

SInce a long time ago I cant understand his thoughts,heeven was manipulating Shuya in the Anime.

Maybe, heactually wanted to raise the RoyalArmy fame with this. Because lately,it seems my fatherhas beingdoing quite well against the southern empire.

[Headmaster,if the mercenary have companionson Yolem city then the arrival of the RoyalArmy will be known. No, perhaps she already had that information inherhands.]

No matter how experienceda mercenary was, if that personfoughtagainst theRoyalArmy they still wont stand a chance.

That is why that mercenarymightuse any means necessary to escape from theRoyalArmy. And in that case,if that mercenary hasthe monster attracting perfume thenshewill use it without a doubt.

[So, between the dungeon and the mercenary, right now it is clear that the dungeon takes more priority But the situation will be reversed if the mercenary holds the perfume in her hands Slow-kun, rightnowI will go to the dungeon once again. When I went therelast time the monsterswereso excitedthatIcouldntleave a satisfying barrier behind hmmm, lets just return totheacademy this evening]

Aruru-sensei.

No, she is the mercenary, and only time will tell us whether she had the perfumeor not.

Anyway,the wind great spirit was always beside her documenting her every action right about now. If in some case that mercenary made some move, there is no way Art Ange wont know about it.

[If in some case we found a large quantity of that perfume inside this academy- When theRoyalArmy arrivestonight, we willseizethat mercenary. Well then Slow-kun, what will you do?]

Near KurushuMagicAcademy a dungeonwasborn.

It was a mysterious thing that never once came out on the anime.

Andaboutthedungeon that suddenly came out of nowherejustoutside this academy,I havesome kindof thought regarding that.

[Right now Aruru-sensei was being watched by one of mycollaborators. I have an absolute confidence on him]

I have no proof about it, but I could think of something created that dungeon.

You couldcallit sixth sense, because itisa feeling only I know about it.

A dungeon that suddenly appeared and endangered this academy.

And a dungeon master and a dungeon that was not supposed to exist in the anime.

After all the one who beat it

[Headmaster, please also bring me to that dungeon]

-Someone on my heart shout BUHIIII.

And then, just before we exit the headmasters room.

[He has become the topic on the street, that Silva]

I take a letter from Rokomoko-sensei.

And with seriousness Rokomoko-sensei looksat me.

[DeningI leave thatold manto you]
