All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 267

134. Wanted to Confirm – 1

Ian didn’t even twitch an eyebrow at Kirke’s report.

As he remained silent, a student coming out of the dormitory looked at Ian and his group, puzzled.

“Huh? When did you guys get here?”

“Just now. Hey, Martin. Do you know where Graegin and Widia went?”

“Oh? Those guys? Didn’t they go on a relic exploration? The equipment Graegin took looked like it was for relic exploration.”

“What? Not to the Mial Mountains?”

Oerina tilted her head.

Graegin and Widia were on the list of people entering the Mial Mountains.

That’s why they were mainly looking for people related to that area, but relics?

“I don’t know about that. Ah, come to think of it, Graegin was looking for a lot of data.”

“What kind of data?”

“Data related to the Demon King. He came to the relic research lab and looked through everything he could find.”

“Ah… really?”

“Are you worried about Graegin and Widia staying out? Come on. They’re not Blanche, they wouldn’t cause trouble, would they?”

Martin dismissed it casually and dissed Blanche, who growled.

After Martin left with a chuckle, Oerina sighed.

“I hope nothing happens. It’s dangerous right now because we’re clearing out the Mial Mountains.”

“But wouldn’t they be okay?”

Graegin and Widia had the bracelets Ian gave them.

In other words, they could warp back to the academy if something happened.

Wildy didn’t think much of it, but Blanche’s expression was different.

“Liza isn’t there. What if she’s with them? Would the kids abandon Liza and run away?”

“Oops.”

“Ugh… this is going to be a headache. Oerina, do the instructors know about this?”

“Instructor Aranse is already in the Mial Mountains. Ugh. Graegin is usually so quiet, why all of a sudden.”

“He must have noticed something.”

Ian, who had been silent, spoke, and everyone looked at him with questioning eyes.

Meeting their gazes, Ian said as indifferently as ever.

“There’s a Demon King’s relic in the Mial Mountains. It seems Graegin realized something while talking to Liza and took action.”

“Ah. I see… What?!”

Blanche, who was trying to remain calm at his calm voice, was horrified.

“The Demon King’s what is there?”

“Demon King’s relic.”

“That’s in the Mial Mountains?! How do you know that?!”

“That’s right, Ian. Fredon Academy knows the most about the Demon King and the Hero… but the Demon King’s relic has never been discovered before.”

“It was in the Mial Mountains? Right in front of the academy? How do you know that?”

The three, in shock, stared at Ian, who shrugged.

“I’m Ian.”

“Ah.”

That one word was enough to convince them.

Wildy, who had been feeling awkward, raised a question.

“But why did you hide it until now?”

“There was no need to say it.”

“No… well, yes, but.”

“If it’s the Demon King’s relic, there must be something related to the Hero…”

“I know enough about the Hero.”

He had already figured out everything about the Hero in the Forgotten City’s Tower.

A person from another world.

Wasn’t that enough?

“We might be able to learn about the Demon King too…”

“What are you going to do knowing that?”

Saying that, there was nothing more to say.

As the three fell silent, Ian put his hands in his pockets.

“Okay?”

“It’s okay, but… Ian, do you know where it is?”

“I know, but why? Are you going to go?”

“I have to go. That idiot who goes crazy when he sees relics could be in danger.”

“Oh~ Do you like Graegin?”

Blanche smirked, and Oerina’s expression turned serious.

Feeling embarrassed for no reason, he kicked the floor with his foot.

“If you’re worried, let’s go.”

“Okay! I’ll get ready quickly!”

As Oerina immediately went into the dormitory, Wildy put down the things she had brought.

“I’ll go too.”

“Aren’t you tired?”

“Still, my friend might be in danger, so I have to go. Graegin is good at everything, but he tends to go berserk when it comes to relics.”

“Widia is with him.”

“That’s why I’m even more worried.”

Widia was even more of a concern because they had known each other since childhood.

While Wildy sighed deeply, Blanche even took Wildy’s bag and went into the dormitory.

When he came out, he was holding new armor and a spear.

“Are you going too?”

“Liza must have gone with them, so I have to go.”

At that moment, Oerina came out.

She was also in light armor and had brought a lot of scrolls and artifacts.

“Okay. Let’s go. Ian. Where is the Demon King’s relic?”

“Near the Trimidon Canyon.”

“…Huh?”

The Trimidon Canyon was a place they all knew.

That was because.

“It’s less than an hour from here? It was that close?!”

Facing everyone’s shock, Ian nodded.

“Yeah.”

Taking Blanche, Wildy, and Oerina, Ian headed straight for the Trimidon Canyon.

They slowly climbed up as if they were hiking, and the place they arrived at was as peaceful as ever.

There were no monsters or wild beasts.

When they arrived at a place with only small animals grazing on the grass, Myae yawned leisurely.

And Ian, Myae’s owner, had the same calm expression as always.

“Can’t you guys relax a little?”

“Hey. You said there’s a Demon King’s relic here.”

In contrast, the three of them were very nervous.

Thinking that something might happen at any moment, Blanche was already preparing his aura, and Wildy and Oerina had taken out their artifacts.

Ian said a word to them and pointed to the cliff at the end of the canyon.

“The Demon King’s relic is over there.”

“…It’s not there?”

Could it be hidden under the cliff?

Wildy raised her staff and spread her magic.

But nothing was caught by her magic.

“There are no traces of the kids there either… well, there are a lot of footprints.”

There were quite a few traces since it was a gateway to the Mial Mountains.

It was difficult to find traces of Graegin, Widia, and Liza among them.

As Blanche spoke in a serious tone, Ian nodded.

“You shouldn’t look for footprints.”

“Then should we look for traces of magic?”

“That’s right.”

“But there are no traces of magic either?”

“When you were detecting, you just scattered magic around, Wildy, right?”

“Yes. Isn’t that basic?”

“It’s good to scatter magic to find special magic, but that’s not the only way to detect it.”

“Oh? Then the reason you’ve been able to easily find things around you is because of what you’re doing now?”

As Blanche was amazed, Ian nodded and raised his hand.

Instantly, his magic quickly consumed the surroundings.

“Whether it’s magic or aura, you have to completely dominate and interpret the surroundings.”

“Um… just hearing it doesn’t give me a sense of it.”

“This also requires training. I’ll do it a little stronger, so feel it.”

Ian spread his magic even stronger.

At that moment, Wildy and Oerina’s bodies stiffened.

It felt like something was completely enveloping their bodies.

“Ugh!!”

Unable to bear the foreign sensation, Oerina started to gag.

Blanche and Wildy also didn’t look good.

“This is called space domination, and if you use it well, you can figure out everything that’s around you.”

“Ugh… s, stop.”

Eventually, Blanche knelt down.

Ian, looking down at him, lowered his hand, and the energy that had been enveloping the three disappeared as if it were a lie.

“Hoo…”

“T, this would be good as an offensive skill…”

“Not really.”

“Huh? Why?”

It was a force that could make even skilled people like Blanche, Wildy, and himself feel strange.

Oerina, who thought it was good enough, asked, and Ian shrugged.

“If you’re going to use that much power to make you guys feel that way, it’s more efficient to just fight.”

“Ah. I see.”

“Anyway, that’s how you do it, so practice whenever you have time.”

Ian said simply and strode forward.

“Graegin’s magic is heading here.”

“Oh. Um. There’s nothing here?”

“There’s only a cliff.”

“Is it down there?”

Looking down at the dizzying cliff, Oerina began to prepare to jump.

If she used Reverse Gravity, she would be able to safely descend to the bottom of the cliff.

As she stretched, Wildy shook her head.

“I checked the bottom with magic, but there’s nothing there. And the academy has already investigated that area.”

Then where is it?

As the three looked at him, Ian raised his hand.

“Up there.”

“…Huh?”

What Ian pointed to was above the cliff.

It was empty air.

“There’s a space distortion barrier. It’s quite high-circle. It seems to be around 8-circle level [A circle is a measure of magical power, with higher numbers indicating greater strength].”

“Uh… 8, 8-circle?”

“Who would use such magic…”

“But it’s not just blocking it blindly.”

“Then?”

Ian moved his inner energy.

The materialized aura created a small ring in the air, just enough for one person to enter.

“If you pass through there, you can enter the inside.”

“That’s all?”

Ian nodded to Wildy, who was dumbfounded.

That’s all.

But who among those who don’t know that simple condition would try to do it?

As Ian explained, Wildy understood.

No one in their right mind would go up there.

“Then how did Graegin know about this?”

“He must have investigated it in his own way. Okay. Then let’s go in too.”

As Ian lightly raised his hand, his body floated up.

Wildy and Oerina also used magic, and Blanche, who was left alone, felt awkward.

“Hey?! What about me?!”

“Jump. You’re a Master, can’t you even do that?”

“Should I grab you?”

“I can help you~ Just call me ‘sister’~.”

Blanche glared at the two, gritted his teeth, and stepped back.

“Get out of the way!!”

Then he ran towards the cliff.

After confirming that they had entered, Ian also entered the barrier as it was.

“Huh! What is this?!”

He had clearly jumped over the cliff.

But where he was standing now was between two large doors.

While he was panicking, Wildy and Oerina appeared from the hole above him.

“Ian hasn’t come in yet, right?”

“I’m here.”

A young man’s voice was heard from inside the door.

As they nodded and tried to enter.

A voice similar to Ian’s was heard from the darkness behind them.

“That’s a fake door. Don’t go in.”

Front and back.

The students were confused by the voices coming from two places.

“Is this… Ian’s voice?”

“It sounds like it…”

What should they believe?

Which one should they follow?

As they worried and gripped their weapons tightly.

Ian and Myae jumped down from the hole in the ceiling where Wildy and Oerina had appeared.

“What are you doing? Not going?”

“…Are you really Ian?”

As Blanche asked cautiously, Ian snorted.

“No… just now, your voice…”

As Blanche muttered in a daze, Wildy and Oerina looked at each other.

Ian, who was watching them, raised his sword and struck down.

-Kwaaaang!!

At the same time, the aura spread out like a storm.

-Kkeuaaaaak!!

-Kyaaaaak!!

As terrible screams were heard from both sides, the three were horrified, and Ian said indifferently.

“It’s a Kejus [A monster that imitates voices].”

A monster that imitates human voices to lure them into the darkness and attack.

The monster, now known to be extinct, was here.

As Blanche tensed up, Ian said casually.

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”

“How can I not worry when we’re here to save the kids…”

“Kyaaak!!”

A scream was heard from the darkness.

It was the scream of a young woman.

As Wildy, thinking it was Widia’s scream, tried to run towards it, Ian grabbed her and shot an aura.

“Keeeek!!”

Another monster’s scream was heard.

As Wildy, horrified, swallowed hard, Ian said indifferently.

“I can understand it.”

“How can you understand it?!”

Even Wildy, who had known Widia for a long time, couldn’t distinguish it.

As she was surprised, Ian said as if it was strange.

“Why can’t you understand this? It’s completely different?”
