Chapter 299

The hand of a spirit beast volcanic monkey, rotted and crumbling and Hardened by the cooled lava.

It was an appearance that would make ordinary students run away scared just by looking at it.

I don’t know where I got it, but it was a fearsome item that can only be used for high-level black magic.

‘No, it must have been stolen from Bellrec… … .’

Perhaps the trap contained here was also created by Bellrec.

I’m sure they didn’t ask the guys in prison to make it.

The strange dark magic that finally appeared outside reacted to Roan and hissed like a snake.

Roan started to worry about what kind of trap was hidden, but he used black magic to create a magic circle.

Wow ──

“?”

Roan tilted his head.

It was because the magic circle that appeared in front of him missed his expectations by a long time.

‘Looking at the shine on the magic circle, it is an obsidian deepening property. After all, it’s Bellrec.’

Aside from the fact that the person who created it was clear, Roan had a vague idea of ​​what kind of trap this magic circle was.

‘Underground anger… … .’

It’s a magic that almost blows away the entire surface of the area, but instead of explaining this and that, just saying it’s intermediate black magic was enough to explain it.

Anyway, this was not it!

‘Of course it is a mistake. The teaching materials for upper-grade classes were sent incorrectly. It has to be a mistake.’

No matter how much I thought about it, the professor who was worried, telling me not to go looking for things that were too dangerous, or that there was a hidden darkness that didn’t fit my level, wasn’t something I could prepare for.

Roan immediately raised his hand.

“Paradise?”

─Why were you doing that?

“There’s a bit of a problem here.”

─You mean the problem?

The grading paladin tilted his head and approached Roan.

The booth where Roan would take the test was prepared by Kaina herself, so even the paladins did not know exactly what traps were hidden there.

However, in other words, it also meant that there would be no mistakes since Kaina prepared it herself.

The paladin bent down next to Roan and looked at the trap’s black magic circle and the rotten volcano monkey hand.

and.

─ Ugh, wow!!!! Wow, it’s a bomb!!!!!!!!!!

I ran away without even looking back.

“……?”

Roan, who was suddenly left alone, looked at the paladin who had already run out of the booth with a bewildered expresSion.

‘The Holy Knight left people alone!’

Of course, it was clear that the underground fury was a terrifying trap, but shouldn’t a paladin put civilians first!

Wow─

If you die, that paladin will become a hero of the empire.

False Divinity was equally absurd, but it still felt like I had to say something.

─ What? Artillery, bomb?

─Why was there a bomb?

─ Is Darc finally dying?

The students also became panicked after seeing the paladin, who rarely ran away, look distraught.

The best among them was definitely Demona.

“Run away!!! The whole playground is blown away!!!”

No one said anything, but Demona was already running away with all her might.

─ Above, Wickronon only said the right things!

─ Run away!!!

The students who were incited at once rushed to the edge of the playground.

… … In fact, if the anger in the underground exploded properly, it was difficult to guarantee survival even at that level.

At least Roan’s friends, including Hector and Sion, were a little hesitant.

─ Run away quickly! It’s underground fury!

─ What? Underground fury? I’m a holy woman!!!! I’ll take you here ahhh!!!

Soon, he was forced to flee by the Holy Knights who realized the situation.

In the end, the only people left in place were Kaina and Roan.

It only took less than 30 seconds for this situation to happen.

“Um, Professor?”

Roan spoke to Kaina with a look in his eyes as if asking her to do something.

But instead of speaking Katabuta, Kaina smiled.

Ting─

The sound was made by rubbing the thumb and index finger.

Then.

Crumble—clunk—!!

To our horror, Roan’s booth was sealed off with a prison created by Kaina herself using holy magic!

Among the intermediate levels, the most intimidating holy magic ‘Serena’s Birdcage’.

If certain conditions set by the caster were not met, it can never be broken at a similar level.

“!!!!!!”

Even the world’s most powerful Roan could not help but lose his composure in this situation.

‘This was really caught!’

It was a scene that could only be interpreted that way.

After all, he was the only one trapped in an underground rage-like trap.

Ugh—!!!

How on earth!

Exciting!

Being a master or a Holy Spirit isn’t that bad!

‘… … ‘I am a black mage and cannot become the Holy Spirit.’

Aha, right?! Master, you can’t die!! How did you get it to be a black mage!!!! Let’s live for a long time!!

Roan cursed Ludiac for not being able to come to his senses even at a moment like this.

Roan glared at Kaina through the bars with extremely gloomy and dangerous eyes.

Kaina still met Roan’s gaze with a relaxed expresSion.

‘Well, how terrible is it that they drove me into a conspiracy? This is truly awful. I even leArned Void, but I never thought I would get caught right away.’

Perhaps my progress to intermediate level was too rapid and I may had suffered a setback.

Roan wondered if he had been too hasty, but was still analyzing it coolly.

‘I thought it was perfect that you chose Void as a way to aVoid the bad ending of being caught by Lucia. If not, what should I have done? … … hmm? Lucia?

Roan, who was forced to remain calm while studying, soon found a strange spot.

The prophet’s eyes clearly showed the scene of the night, not Kaina’s lesson.

By going against fate and learning Void, did the content of the bad ending change?

Of course it could be so… … .

‘I guess I’ll have to wait a little longer.’

Roan, who had been taken aback by the sudden situation, regained his composure again.

As long as the bad ending point was confirmed, there was no need to make a fuss.

It seemed like I could at least wait until Lucia came into view.

… … At least I didn’t want to look like the students and paladins huddled together like penguins at the end of the playground and shivering.

Kaina said after seeing that Roan had become calm again.

“I’m also a Darc student!”

Professor Kaina was so happy that she even claps her hands.

At least Roan didn’t think it was the behavior of a professor who put a student in a room with a bomb.

But it was unaVoidable.

Since I was Locked in a cage, I had to listen to Kaina.

“It’s an emergency preparedness test! Darc, please dismantle the underground rage trap installed in the school and save us!”

“…….”

“Oh my, do you have anything to say?”

It wouldn’t had made sense anyway, but Roan felt so wronged that he wanted to say this.

“If there is enough anger in the underground, shouldn’t the instructors come?”

Kaina said with a bright smile.

“Ah~ Of course that’s the way it should be, but what about this? Now, the only ones who can go in there are Darc students! They’ve been completely caught in the tricks of the evil black mages~”

It seemed like that was roughly the setup.

… … The person who prevented anyone from entering Roan was Kaina herself.

‘Well, the evil thing is the same.’

Roan glared at Kaina with an expresSion that would make any student immediately see if there was a knife in his stomach.

Of course, it didn’t work for Kaina, who had been through all sorts of hardships before birth.

Roan returns to the underground anger trap.

If it was about underground anger, it was a setup and a test, and it was a real emergency.

‘If it really explodes, why did you bring this?’

Roan grunted to himself.

Wow─

So wouldn’t you rather think it’s a good thing?

‘Be quiet.’

The Intermediate Trap Underground Rage was a magic with a long history that had even been used in terror attacks on the Holy Imperial Palace.

Of course, intermediate level magic was not enough to present a business card to the Holy Emperor’s Palace, so it was immediately dismantled and the culprit was burned at the stake.

… … It was a case that happened so frequently that it did not even had a separate name.

Anyway, Roan prepared to dismantle a large and complex mid-level black magic group in front of him.

The word was black magic, but the surrounding area was covered with a thick fog of black magic, so it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

‘You don’t necessarily need intermediate magic to dismantle an intermediate trap.’

Entrapment and dismantling were separate things.

Considering the current level, it was a burdensome magic for Roan, but it could be dismantled if the theory and principles were followed well.

but.

‘I think I’ll have to use the Black Mark to do that… … .’

I needed the Black Mark, which I didn’t want to use in front of others for fear of being noticed.

Roan infused his magic power into the black magic group.

Unlike traps up to beginner level where you just had to dismantle the magic circle, for intermediate levels you had to activate the magic circle first and then start dismantling it.

Of course, someone of Harden’s level would erase it with a single swing of his hand, but Roan wasn’t at that level yet.

Charalalalak───

In short, this means that the underground anger that was dormant had now become a real bomb that can explode at any time.

─ Trap had been activated!

─ Did student Darc really decide to die!!

The Paladins who had a lot of experience in combat grasped the situation and screamed.

‘Even if you don’t disband, you’ll still die… … !’

To Roan, it just sounded carefree.

In particular, hearing the paladin who abandoned me and ran away say such things made me feel sick to my stomach.

Some students tried to run away from the playground as soon as they heard that the trap had been activated.

─ Damn, Darc, that won’t work!! It’s a bomb!

─ They say that when underground anger erupts, the city will blow up!

But then.

Sigh─

A person appeared in front of the students who were trying to run away.

Relatively slim build, blond hair.

It was Demona.

─ Up, Wickronon?

─Are you trying to take the lead and run away?

─ No! If it’s a Wickronon, it’s probably trying to run in the opposite direction!

… … Although Demona was popular among students, its image was just that.

Demona shouted, looking at something extremely unpleasant, as if she were looking at something dirty that she didn’t want to deal with.

“These light children with nothing but wind in their Bellies! They are like shameful fugitives with nothing but fear in their heads!”

─ W-what do you mean?

─Are you telling me to run away faster?

“Can you still call yourself a warrior who fights against darkness? How can you take care of your family and the empire when you leave your friends alone and only worry about your own safety? I’m so ashamed to even show it to you, Hiloa and Harden!”

As Hiloa and Harden, the two names most loved and feared by the Empire, came out, the students lost much of their energy.

… … In fact, Principal Harden was just looking at it from inside the principal’s office, but it was true that he thought it was pitiful.

“If you have eyes, look at what Darc is doing! If you have ears, listen to his breathing! If you have brains, remember his sacrifice! Even death would be an honor to be with him who willingly carried the burden for all!”

─ Ugh… … .

─ Wickronon was really… … .

The students were completely overwhelmed by Demona and returned to their seats.

I think it was truly a glorious example of imperial nobility and a noble cause.

─ Wow, the new student was so brave!

─ I look forward to the future of the empire!

‘You expect this?’

Roan was truly shocked and his nose was stuffy.

The first one to run away when the bomb exploded was Demona… … .
