A Sleepy Summoner Wants To Rest

45 – 1. Academy (45)

#45

“Ugh…”

When he came to his senses, his head pounded.

The hangover the next day after binge drinking seemed to be less than this. I wanted to hold my forehead in excruciating pain beyond pain, but strangely, my body didn’t move.

‘What is it?’

My body felt heavy, as if I had been pressed down by deep scissors. Feeling stuffy, as if submerged in water-soaked cotton, I exhaled deeply. Then, his vision flashed.

“…Ah”

Then he saw not the ceiling of his room, which he should be used to, but the humid sky that looked like it would rain any moment. Where is this? What else is the pain in the head? No, it wasn’t just the head, but there was no pain anywhere in the body.

‘I…’

Garnet washer. 24 Years old.

Yes, that’s me.

Garnett went through her memories to figure out why she was in this situation.

She is a C-rank Hunter who belongs to the [Blue Night Moon] Guild.

My job is [Maple Forest Keeper] And I reached level 47 this time.

Here, autumn leaves do not mean autumn leaves that turn red, but autumn leaves that mean to cut the wind. It wasn’t once or twice that your guild seniors teased you all the time, saying that your hair was red and that it wasn’t autumn leaves.

As you can see from his job as a forest keeper, he was a high-level position in the ranger class that handles bows, but his main specialty was [Search Redemption] And [Route Guide], Not a bow. However, it was not that his bow skills were inferior or anything like that.

On the contrary, he has built up his skills to the point where he can boast that he is better than the mediocre archers, and in recognition of his achievements, he is able to take the test to receive the right to challenge the current B-rank screening by the association.

The content of the test is to completely clear a C-rank field dungeon with a party of 4 or less.

But at this time, the academy’s new students will soon be released in large numbers. Since it was like an annual declaration ceremony, bidding in the dungeon was as difficult as the stars in the night sky.

That’s why she chose this dungeon, which is relatively unpopular and allows her to make the most of her specialties, [Search] And [Route]. It was a dungeon to the extent that the word Oji was appropriate, but the 4 people who formed the party together were also writers who rolled in the industry as much as he did.

In other words, they weren’t talented people who would stop at a field dungeon or something of the same level, not a higher level dungeon. If only it wasn’t for that monster that was located where you arrived to increase your progress.

“Ah”

Yes, monster.

“Hey!”

Remembering that time, my body shrank. Regardless of my will, I couldn’t control my trembling body. Compared to the normal guys scattered around, there were not one, but two entities that were clearly different.

The dragon and the wolf.

A dragon with snow-white scales to the point of chilling, and a strange wolf that was white enough to be compared to it, but even more reddish.

At first, I thought it was just a name guarding the ruins. However, despite arriving right in front of his nose, he did not hear the alarm for the appearance of the name. There he noticed an anomaly. And I got goosebumps at the guns I felt in their eyes looking at them concavely.

Unexpected variable. In the dungeon, the situation that I had been told by my seniors that I should be more dangerous than anything else was right in front of my eyes.

I didn’t want to risk myself by buying it, so I advised you to turn around and enter quietly. However, one of the stupid magic swordsmen in the party started expressing his opinion that we could catch that monster too.

That monster is not ordinary. That might be the hidden piece of this dungeon that has yet to be revealed, or a delay. If you get that, you can become an A, or an S rank that sits beyond that.

At first, the other two people who supported my opinion also began to be swallowed up by the magic swordsman’s strange behavior.

If there is a conflict within the dungeon, the majority vote converged in the party is no different from a final decision. It’s like an unwritten rule in the hunter industry. Not ordinary. A chance to become an S rank? Are you sure you can catch it? Is that really a monster in the first place?

No matter how much I expressed my opinion, my words did not reach the ears of those who were already blinded by greed. With no way to overturn the 3-1 score, I decided to move in the direction of defeating those monsters rather than turning around and entering the ruins by majority vote.

That didn’t work.

For the first time, he bitterly cursed his incompetence. If only he had had half of the eloquence of that idiot, he might not have had that nightmare.

The moment the magic swordsman’s magic attack cut through the air, the tanker, who had firmly guarded the front no matter what form of monster approached, flew through the air. It was an instant.

The image of the tanker falling to the ground was miserable.

The shield and armor, which were made with the leather and magic stone of a B-class beast, were bent like crumpled newspaper, and both arms were crushed to such an extent that the original shape of the bones could not be recognized, and fragments were protruding through the muscles and skin of the arms.

Before I could find out what the hell had happened, the magic swordsman also flew in the air. He was an idiot, but he was a guy who took great care of his body, so the sight of the layered barriers breaking into pieces was a shock itself.

What’s even more surprising is that it didn’t block a formidable attack instead, but that the monster stopped us from trying to bait us into an attack.

Only then did the priest of the party shout.

It’s magic. That dragon used magic! As the high priest’s mana was added to my eyes, I could see the reverberation of magic flying toward the magic swordsman. But even if he saw it, there was no way to deal with it.

No, because I saw it, I could understand it better.

‘I can’t win…’

Out of standard. There was a torrent of overwhelming power that they could never defeat on their own. Even when I was attacked by an A-rank monster in the event type dungeon challenged at the guild level, it wasn’t this scary.

At that time, there were seniors who could stop that monster. But now?

The avant-garde was on the verge of death at the blow, and the magic swordsman was busy running away with his sword thrown away as if he had lost his fighting spirit from the previous blow. Then, without hesitation, he took out the blue crystal from his waistband and broke it.

Transition crystal.

A disposable magic tool imprinted with the magic of long-distance teleportation that is traded at a high price. When used, it has the effect of ignoring any magic and moving to a designated place.

The one that can be used by up to six people, he deliberately used alone away from us.

It was easy to guess why. Mistake. And he, who made the most fatal mistake in the hunter industry, abandoned us, living witnesses, to escape from that stigma.

My hair turned white at the sight of him disappearing in an instant. It seemed that the priest was no different, but he was frozen with a frightened expression.

Alas, I am dying here. I should have ignored the words of that idiot and pushed on. I should have spoken louder, risking my reputation to suffer and the party to suck.

It was just too empty.

Tears flowed when I thought that all my efforts and time were spent just to die right here.

Boom!

The priest next to him disappeared. And I could see The pure white dragon, sitting still and not moving even for a moment, seemed to be bothered by the massive mass of magical power that spewed out of its mouth.

The last thing I saw was the spinning world, and at the same time my memory was cut off like a blown fuse.

That was the last memory he remembered.

“… Huh?”

I thought he was dead. But why am I still alive? My head was pounding. It must be because of the final shock. How? Before I could find an answer to that question, a shadow fell over my head.

“…?”

It was a little girl.

Even though the black and white hair were mixed without rules, I could feel a strange sense of harmony, and in the clear light pink eyes, there was still untainted innocence and indescribable holiness at the same time.

It was so beautiful that I believed it was sculpted by God, but that wasn’t the problem.

He didn’t look half his age, but the black mace nestled between his black robes was stained with blood and flesh, as if proving that the battle had just taken place.

In other words, this young-looking girl is someone else hunting in this dungeon.

Once I realized that fact, I started to cry again. Lived Something to find out what the reason is. The important thing is that she saved herself.

“Thank you… Thank you…”

Certainly, I heard from one of my seniors that it is forbidden to judge people in the hunter industry by their appearance. Did you say that no matter how young you look, most people don’t age because of their high magic power?

This person must also belong to that category. Even if that’s not the case, seeing that he is proudly in the dungeon at such a young age, he must be the son of a famous family somewhere.

A monster that looked aloof even when it attacked itself. He must have thought that he must have died quite a bit, and it was obvious that he had neglected himself.

Perhaps those of this child’s family have won against the monster.

Anyway, as a result, she herself lived. It was a moment when he was grateful for that fact and was about to give thanks once again to God for giving him a chance.

“Did everyone cry?”

“…Sniff?”

It was very low, and the girl’s figure moved away from the deep voice reminiscent of a cave. Then she saw the figures of those looking down at her.

“…Ah?”

Monster. There were monsters who treated them like flying insects just a short while ago. Relieved by that fact, the slackened mental cords suddenly broke.

Nightmare, this is a nightmare.

Perhaps he himself was dead. The girl he saw last must be the grim reaper trying to guide his dead self. Yeah, there’s no way there’s a little girl in the dungeon.

Garnet washer. 24 Years old. She dies in a dungeon without being able to properly enjoy her youth at a flowery age.

Quack

I wondered at the end of the image reflected in the slowly blurring vision.

Why do the monsters, who did not change their complexion despite their attacks, seem restless?

***

“Sweep, passed out again. Did you recover properly?”

Lee Se-rin, who pricked the cheek of the fallen woman at my criticism, giggled and said as if she was having fun.

“It must have been quite a shock. Still, she recovered from about 20 weeks of pregnancies to just a temporary concussion for her minor bruises, so it should be okay.”

“…Yes”

Yes, the person who restored it would know better. What do I know?

Wasn’t it she who restored her whole body to her dying form with her arms ripped off and her stomach skin pierced and her intestines protruding out of her entrails?

If it wasn’t for her, I would have killed her person unintentionally.

Of course, since this side was preemptively attacked, they are cheap to die, but wouldn’t it last longer if they ate as much as they could if they survived?

Aside from the red-haired woman who just fainted, there were a total of 4 people, including one who looked like a priest, one who looked like a tank, and an idiot who attacked first but ran away the fastest.

That’s all we can infer from the information delivered from Kalion. I couldn’t be sure because it was biased information delivered through the connected passage.

In the end, they have to rise up.

I also need to find out what purpose they attacked in the first place, and if they aimed at me with a clear purpose, not coincidence, I have to thoroughly reveal the people behind it.

Because unless you shake it off so determinedly, it is certain that noisy things will continue to happen for a while. His previous life is enough for him to be terrified while suffering from an assassination attack that may come from anywhere at any time.

“…Time is running out”

“Are you driving monsters like you did in the first place?”

I wouldn’t have tried it. The time I had to wake up thinking about the treatment of those guys was too precious, so that was the first thing I tried.

“Maybe it’s because this area is a named area, so the aggro was strangely released.”

“Aha”

Lee Se-rin, who understood and agreed by herself just by hearing those words, crouched down again and began to poke the cheek of the woman who was suffering from fainting.

Echidna, puzzled by her appearance, hurried to her side, and the two of them started whispering again.

Echidna, who was staring at Lee Se-rin, joined her eccentricity and started stabbing the fainted woman on the other side of the cheek. .

You are teaching the child strange things. I thought about banging my head in to stop it, but when I realized that the annoyance would turn to me, I folded my mind.

I quickly checked the dungeon entry list by manipulating the device Lee Se-rin gave me.

“This is it.”

I was able to find it easier than I thought when I compared it with the ID photo on the Awakening Certificate.

Garnet washer. Member of the [Blue Night Moon] Guild. C rank. Job [Maple Forest Keeper]

Itachi Kaga. Member of the guild [Susanoo]. C rank. Job [Nether Magic Swordsman]

Chulsu Jang. Member of the [Iron Man] Guild. C rank. Occupation [Town Gardener]

Joseph Choi. Member of the guild [Gwangilgyo]. C rank. Job [Sun Fuse]

It was information about the party the woman belonged to.

The only one missing here is Kaga Itachi.

According to Carlion, he attacked first with the intent to kill. Of course, based on the stats reduced by [Subdued], I calmly erased them and tried to use the threat dragon magic as I ordered in advance.

But at that moment, did you lose sight of the tanker without realizing it?

Probably some kind of provocation skill worked. It is said that because of that, everything that was intended to be fired as a threat was fired at them.

The tanker’s judgment was not wrong. It’s just that Carlion’s attack was stronger.

In addition, since Carrion is treated as my skill before being a summoned beast, the effects of [Torture] And [Sadism] Would have been added to each of his attacks, so I don’t have to tell you about the results.

Somehow, he said that the tanker was the most seriously injured.

Though things got complicated when they overlapped by coincidence, but if you look at the results alone, it’s true that Kalion did a good job. However, it was wrong that he relaxed his mind enough to get caught in the provocation skill.

I’ve been doing well lately, so I let go a little bit, but it seems that the habit of almost being beaten by goblins in my sub-ryong days has improved again.

Don’t you know that no matter how weak your opponent looks, if you get hit by one skill, your position can be reversed at any time? Or is it the nature of the dragon race to be careless?

You don’t know what’s going to happen in this crazy world, but you’re not paying attention. It’s true that even if you stay alert, it’s not enough.

‘Don’t say I did a good job with this.’

I thought about it, but decided to put it on hold for now. I sighed at the sight of Kalion and Graul, who were visibly relieved, perhaps realizing that I had no intention of getting angry right away.

“Oh, I am waking up again. It was worth the hard work!”

“Don’t ever say that in front of yourself.”

“Ah, I’m not a doctor, so I’m not that clueless.”

I wanted to put my fist into that annoying head right away. She just had such a mind, but as if she had learned the skill to sense her life, Se-Rin quickly grabbed her head and began to quickly back away from her.

Would you believe it if those short movements were added to the use of magical powers that demonstrated the skills of a person called a transcendent?

Although it was a very brief moment, the movement of the enormous magical power felt was so huge that even the abilities that had been strengthened through [Subdued] Were as insignificant as a handful of ants.

I tried to calm down the chills, but the only thing that appeared was that I was moving away so fast that I wondered if I could see an afterimage.

They didn’t just move away, they looked back at an appropriate distance and began to laugh at me with their eyes wide open.

“hehehe! If you think that I will always welcome you, you are very wrong. A crappy ♡ A crappy doctor ♡. Without skill, incompetent magical ejaculation ♡ Poor stamina that can’t match even this kind of thing ♡ Kyahehehehe…♡”

While sticking out her bright red tongue, she gently moved the hem of her skirt as if telling her to come after her, just like a bullfighter training a bullfight.

Of course, what that woman wants to do is to seduce people and fan her feelings. I know that, so I won’t run like a stupid bullfighter. If that happens, it’s because she will move as she wants.

On the contrary, I got tired of seeing children’s pranks quickly become adult pranks.

Do you want to return the violence you have suffered so far because you want an opportunity? Maybe he changed the route he was attacking after I didn’t get a response even after continuing to approach him.

Compared to what I did before, what I am doing now is too childish. It is clear that the lowered mental age while dealing with Echidna has finally affected his mind.

Because there’s no reason to do that otherwise.

But the effect of provocation was clear, perhaps because that woman looked like that in a childish and alien world. The evidence is the fist that started to get stronger naturally and the molar teeth that are about to grind.

“Ugh…”

I wondered if I should give a serious sermon instead of ignoring it so that I wouldn’t do that again, but I clicked my tongue when I saw Garnet Washer who opened her eyes at the right timing.

“Just wait and see.”

“…Well, even if you stare at it like that, it’s not scary at all!”

I was really annoyed to see her shining with interest and pleasure in her eyes while pretending to be trembling.

Do I have to suffer from such a crazy woman just because I didn’t do well?

The answer is to get away from this crazy woman as soon as possible. She grabbed the woman who had just begun to stand up by the collar, burning with determination to peel and eat everything without leaving anything behind.

The woman who was lifted from the floor to my eye level in an instant came to her senses.

“…Huh? What the hell… I…”

“Can you come to your senses now?”

“…Yes? Over there, huh? Hey?!”

I looked at Kalion and Graul in the back while I was bewildered, and immediately began to panic. Also, since it would be annoying if she fainted, I grabbed her chin with her mana and forcibly fixed her eyes on me.

“If you don’t want to die, blow everything you know.”

“…Hib”

I wondered if I was out of breath because I was caught by the collar, but my reflection in the woman’s eyes, with tears falling drop by drop, was hardened to the point of being said to be the villain of the century.

This is all because of that woman. Do you do this just to upset a distraught person? This is also due to the woman who provided the beginning of the incident. So, she is absolutely not doing this to relieve her unresolved anger at Se-Rin.

…Or not.

She shut her mouth shut at first, but when she swung around with her carlion, she eventually blew away everything, including the dungeon and what had happened in her guild recently.

How nice it would be if it was like that a long time ago. Of course, after her interrogation was over, as if she had run out of energy, she sat down on the spot and became exhausted as if she were trying to live up to her name (?).

The whimpering in the corner got me crazy, so I ordered Carrion to clean up all the foreign objects and then interrogated the others.

The other two, who woke up midway and watched the situation, also began answering my question obediently, whether Kalion’s existence had been quite traumatic. The results were, of course, similar if similar, but not less.

In the end, none of the information was found.

“Should we catch the last one as well?”

He’s a guy who annoys me from one to ten. Maybe it’s because his name is Itachi, but his escape skills are top-notch. Still, the other Itachi had a cause and conviction, but this bastard is just an asshole.

Since there was no information he wanted, there was no point in trying to hold on to these three.

“Go away”

“Yes, yes?”

“Go away”

I said that, but it was obvious that if I left these guys like this, there would be a high probability that they would die.

Except for that woman, they were really cheap guys to look for, but if left unattended, more troublesome things would surely happen. If that’s the case, it’s wiser to just let them go and wait for these guys to catch the fugitives.

After ordering Kalion to deliver these three to the entrance to learn how to clean up, we spurred Echidna’s leveling on our own.

Echidna, who realized that there was no point in catching junk mobs endlessly, started to insist on fighting the named, and I respected her will.

She should have filled up her progress by going around her ruins anyway, so I let her go around the names until she was satisfied.

[Progress: 100%]

[The level of Has risen.]

5 Hours after entering the dungeon, Echidna finally reached level 10.
