Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

11 – Unfortunate Monster Runaway Incident_2

“Ahhh the smell…”

Even if I blocked my nose, I could not completely get rid of the unique body odor. I could feel the smell piercing my nose and reaching my brain.

But even if it smells awful, you can’t stop doing what you have to do.

A first-year assistant professor at Laplace Academy.

Lee Myeong-hyeon held his breath as he opened the iron cage.

“Kurruru”

Then a strange breathing sound was heard.

Lee Myung-hyeon swallowed his saliva and turned his head in the direction he came from when he heard the sound.

And there it was.

Rooster’s head.

A basilisk, a monster with the body of a snake and many legs like a centipede.

“You must be asleep, right?”

Lee Myung-hyeon walked slowly and approached the basilisk.

Then I stretched out my arm and waved it around the guy’s eyes, but he just let out a regular breath and didn’t seem to move.

I was definitely asleep.

The reason was none other than the metal leash hanging around the basilisk’s neck.

A grade magic tool, necklace of subjugation.

An item that makes an untamed monster follow orders as if it were tamed the moment it wears the necklace.

“As expected, expensive is good…”

What was the price?

The memory of hearing that it was 10 billion came to mind.

And what about your salary?

“Ehh… Stop thinking about useless things and let’s get to work”

He bitterly felt the gap between the rich and the poor, but he was helpless.

I am not a child of a famous family nor an heir to a guild nor a 3rd generation conglomerate, but I don’t even have the talent, so I’m over 40 and barely working as an academy professor’s assistant. It was good for mental health.

So after a small lament, Lee Myung-hyeon checked the safety precautions memo he had brought.

Do not let the blood come into contact with the monster.

Please follow the dosage of the medicine before administering it.

Never touch the slave’s necklace.

Wake up or go to bed to check the lock.

Do not wake the monster.

“No big deal”

Most of them were familiar.

For example, basic common sense.

I was worried about the sudden takeover about a week ago, but it didn’t seem like there was anything to worry about.

So, Lee Myeong-hyeon packed up his notes, put them in his pocket, and started to move his body, remembering the reason he had come here.

“This is a tranquilizer, this is a muscle relaxant, this is a weakening agent…”

I take out several syringes from the bag I brought with me.

Tomorrow’s seniors also needed to moderately weaken the monsters in order to practice combat.

No matter how bright the cadets of Laplace Academy were, the basilisk was a monster on a different level from goblins and orcs, also called novice hunters, so it was necessary to prepare just in case.

I wondered if I could use a weaker monster if I was going to do such a troublesome thing, but

‘Because there is no monster like this to experience the danger of breaking the arrogance and conceit of the Laplace Academy senior cadets.’

It is said that the Basilisk was chosen for the reason

.

Perfect preparation for contingency It is said that there has never been a problem with a basilisk in the academy’s history.

There are several professors who play with basilisks like this.

There is also a necklace of subordinates if necessary.

With Lee Myung-hyun, he just said yes and moved on.

“It’s done.”

I wonder how many minutes I had to suffer while thinking about this and that. All the medications I brought were finished.

Looking at the basilisk still made my hamstrings tingle, but today I just wanted to go home as quickly as I could finish my work.

“Ouch!”

While imagining what he would do when he returned home, Lee Myung-hyeon got up and tripped on the basilisk’s leg and fell.

“Oh, really…”

He didn’t fall too hard because he was able to touch the floor with his arms before he fell.

However, the scales of the basilisk inside the cage got stained and blood came out.

A feeling as if it were cut into thick paper.

Lee Myung-hyun spat out annoyance at the ambiguous pain.

“Ehh…”

There was no bad luck that this happened after everything was over.

At this point, I felt like I should go get disinfected and put some bandages on.

It wasn’t deep, but it wasn’t something that could be solved with a simple band.

But since the work was over, Lee Myung-hyeon let out a small sigh and left the cage, checked that the door was locked, turned off the light, and walked away from the basilisk’s cage.

A cage of basilisks where darkness has descended.

A strange breathing sound was heard.

“Kurerureu—”

Although I was forced to sleep because of the slave necklace and medicine.

The body of the basilisk began to flinch naturally at the smell of blood wafting up.

**

“So, most humanoid monsters do not react to smells, but animal monsters have an incredibly good sense of smell and react to them immediately. That’s why it’s essential when dealing with animal type monsters—”

It was boring.

Even though lectures are not fun, this lecture was very boring.

However, I couldn’t take my eyes off the lecture and had no choice but to listen to the lecture over and over again, holding back a long yawn.

The reason was very simple…

“So, student Seonghyeon, can you understand the lecture I gave?”

It was because the professor who was giving the lecture was none other than Professor Xuen.

I used a little bit to prove Han Yuri’s innocence the other day, but he still grinds his teeth and sometimes when he lectures, he fixes an arrow on me and keeps asking me questions. There was no time to do anything.

‘Well, I could have smoked something else today.’

“Yes, I fully understand.”

There is a duty to become a disciple.

What day was it in the first place?

Isn’t it the day when unfortunate and noble things happen?

The last way to go is to show respect.

“Then you know what I am talking about?”

“Isn’t that the magical herb and the earth shard?”

“…That is the correct answer.”

Xuen frowned in affirmation at my answer.

And Xuen continues the lecture.

“Seong Hyun-ah, isn’t that professor strange?”

Seeing that, Yuri Han, who was sitting next to her, glared at Xuen and quietly whispered.

She looks like a really loyal dog. She was pretty cute.

“It’s okay, there must be a reason”

“Sung, Sung Hyeon-a…”

“It’s okay. Are you okay.”

That’s why it was Han Yuri who tickled her chin a little, twisting her body and turning her face red.

‘By the way, when will Nambong Lee come back…’

She asked me to come here just in time for the lecture to end.

Even though the lecture was almost over, she didn’t show up.

There was a possibility that things could go wrong.

But I couldn’t move my body here, so I held my breath and focused on Xuen’s lecture.

Let’s wait for a while.

“Then, I will end today’s lecture with this.”

Lecture time is over.

And just in time.

As if it was planned.

I heard a strange sound.

“Kurerureu—”

A roaring sound at the same time.

One wall of the classroom collapsed, revealing a monster.

**

At first, the cadets inside the classroom were in a daze wondering what was going on at the unbelievable thing that a monster suddenly appeared in the classroom.

However

A bizarre breathing sound.

A trembling that comes from a heavy body.

The unpleasant smell proved that it was neither a fantasy nor a simulated monster using magic tools.

“Kyaaah,”

“What, what is a basilisk?”

“Is it time to care about that, run away!!!”

That’s why the grasp of reality burst out half a beat slowly, and soon they screamed.

Perhaps it was a reaction to that, the monster began to charge at the screamers with a roar.

“Kyaaa!!!!”

Instantly, they were crushed and crushed, and blood was splattered in the classroom.

So the cadets in the classroom desperately tried to go outside, but the monster started attacking those who acted like that first.

Therefore, in the ears of the cadets who could not escape and realized what despair was,

“Professor Xuen, please help!!!”

Someone’s words echoed loudly.

I don’t know whose words it was.

It was because his voice was so uncharacteristic and ordinary.

However, that voice managed to bring attention to one place in the chaotic classroom.

Professor.

A famous hunter.

The only person here who can deal with that monster.

“Professor!!!”

“Sal, please save me”

Maybe because of that voice, they saw Professor Xuen as a rope that could survive. With screams asking for help, the cadets began to flock to Xuen.

“No, I don’t have a weapon right now, and I’m naked too…”

“Professor, please save me”

“Professor!!!”

At that, Xuen panicked and shook his arm around, but he kept getting pushed around and started to get closer and closer to the basilisk because of the cadets hiding behind him.

Have you realized that you can’t escape in the end?

Or perhaps he thought he had to protect the cadets behind him, but Xuen clenched his fists even though his main weapon was a sword.
