NOVEL NEXT chapter 13
13 – Unfortunate monster rampage_4
To be honest, one basilisk.
It is said that the weakened basilisk runs rampant because it was brought in for practice.
No matter how long it’s been since he withdrew from the field, the professors teaching cadets at Laplace Academy
It doesn’t make sense for not one but two to die.
Isn’t one of them armed?
I fully understand that it is close to impossible.
I understand that too.
That’s why I prepared something.
It was an item engraved with the pattern of a famous villain organization.
Of course, it was something I made similar to the illustration in the novel, but
The quality is not bad.
To be honest, if an incident like this happened and there was a pattern like this, it was so complicated that no one would believe it.
Because they knew about the conflict at this academy, there was no problem because they knew that no matter how unbelievable the object was, they could use it as a weakness for each other.
So I moved carefully so as not to get fingerprints on the object.
If you search hard enough, divide a few pieces and hide them in a place where you can find them.
I checked the condition of the fallen cadets one by one, unable to escape due to the basilisk attack, and after confirming that no one was alive or alert, I approached Lee Nam-bong.
I didn’t have time anymore.
It’s been quite some time since the incident happened.
Han Yu-ri and Yu Hye-ji drew attention by using Anten or K class cadets.
It was time to hit the limit, so I had to finish the work quickly.
[Unknown Lv.10 Is activated.]
[Slightly out of all cognition and awareness.]
“Professor, are you okay?”
When I asked Lee Nam-bong, who was enjoying the joy of victory with his foot on top of the dying basilisk, he asked me questioningly.
“How did Professor Xuen, cadet Lee Seong-hyeon, come here?”
“You seem to have relaxed after drinking the detoxifying potion, so I sent you to a safe place.”
“Is that so? Eh, tsk tsk, how can being attacked by a basilisk be treated as a professor so easily?”
“As expected, you are a professor.”
But that’s only for a while.
He was so sure I wasn’t his enemy that he let his guard down all too easily.
That’s why I approached the basilisk and put on a great expression.
“How can you make a basilisk so easily…”
“hahahaha, you said it would be possible someday. Well, it was possible for me since I first became a hunter.”
“As expected, you are a professor. But where did this basilisk come from?”
“Hmm, judging by the cracks in the subordinate’s necklace, it seems that the one brought in for practice has gone berserk, but I think we need to find out more… More than that, this monster called the Basilisk…”
And when he flattered him moderately, Lee Nam-bong started to brag about how great he was and how great the monster he had defeated was.

I saw it in a book.
It was a book about what happens when you give drugs to monsters.
I don’t know why you researched that
The author said that he thought that it would be similar to the effect that appears on humans or that it would not have much effect because of its own resistance.
However, the more the research progressed, the more unexpected results were found.
That’s right.
It was said that monsters that consumed the drug entered Berserk mode, which was temporary but ran out of control and exerted several times the power of normal.
“So honestly, this academy is the only professor who can handle basilisks like this—”
While agreeing with the story that kept flowing, I bought the necessary goods, hid them in an unknown form, and poured them into the basilisk’s mouth.
“Yeah, what are you doing now…”
However, Nambong Lee stopped talking and started approaching me, wondering why he couldn’t hide it from the professor no matter how unknown he tried to hide it.
“Professor”
So turn your gaze.
“Something in the mouth of a basilisk right now…”
Casting time.
“What is it?”
Showing your hand
After preparing the time for the effect to take effect.
“Surely something…”
Momentarily away from the flinching basilisk
Lee Nam-bong induced him to come closer to his mouth.
“Oh that’s it”
Smile.
As if it was nothing.
Whisper a little.
“Is it a drug?”
“Drugs…?”
Then, with all her might, she pushes Lee Nam-bong.
“Huh?”
“Kaaagh!!!”
A basilisk with its mouth wide open at the same time.
Lee Nam-bong hesitated as if he didn’t know why, then looked back at her.
And belated situational awareness.
That’s why Nambong Lee tried to escape by releasing her mana, but it took more time to restore the once-collapsed balance.
The mouth of the basilisk behind him swallowed him faster.
“What, poetry—”
“No. Professor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Blood splattered.
The sound of bones grinding.
The sound of the intestines being crushed.
Then the sound and the sound gathered and came out from the lungs to the airway and from the airway to the mouth.
“Professor Xuen, Professor Nambong Lee, are you alright?
Just in time, I saw professors entering the classroom.
That’s why I hold back my tears.
I looked back in shock.
The unfortunate monster runaway incident has come to an end.
**
A tragedy that shouldn’t have happened occurred at Laplace Academy.
This fact resonated internally and externally to the extent that it became a hot topic every day in the news in Korea and around the world, beyond the fuss at the academy.
That would be the case too.
It’s not just that the monsters rampaged.
Students were severely injured or killed because the monsters for practice run amok due to a teacher’s mistake.
It was because it was an unprecedented incident in which two professors who boasted at the academy died.
But it wasn’t just that.
It was a story that came out once a day in the news every day, such as the disappearance of the gate or the attack of the villains, so people’s senses were numb.
However, the background of this incident was Laplace Academy.
If it happened in an ordinary academy, it could be.
No, it shouldn’t happen, but you might think that it can happen at least once.
But what kind of place is Laplace Academy?
A place that claims to be the best in the world and can safely be called the best in the world.
Those who have retired from active duty usually take up professorships, but even so, their skills cannot be ignored.
It is rumored that it is protected by various magics and will not nod even if the highest level monsters come.
That’s why even if a minor problem happened, there was no problem at all, the leading role in Korea’s safety myth.
It was because such an incident occurred in a place where if you were to pick the 10 safest places in the world, you would always occupy one spot.
So
[Laplace Academy is the best in the world? It’s a thing of the past now.]
[Insensitivity to safety Laplace Academy faculty level is appalling Foundation and state stop fighting power and peaceful… ]
[The pitiful future of Laplace Academy…]
Like a fish that met water, Laplace Academy was ridiculed as gossip by those who wanted it to fall
“Two professors died? Only against the basilisk.”
“Is the reputation of Laplace Academy a thing of the past?”
“As expected, I knew it would turn out like this ever since I was told that a girl would be the chairman of the board.”
Baek Seol-hwa, the chairman of the board, had no choice but to endure the dog-like sound of
While grinding her teeth in her office.
“….”
How hard did you work to get to this position?
How much did you struggle to fit into this position?
Usually, I wouldn’t be shaken by just one incident like that.
Normally, the reputation I’ve built up so far doesn’t go anywhere.
But it wasn’t like that now.
To think that an incident like this would break out in a situation where even a stake fight was already dangerous?
That one of the professors on the other side was sacrificed for this due to the mistake of the one who was classified in this line?
It clearly looked like an attack to anyone.
Of course, there’s no way to attack in such a stupid way, and there’s no reason, so it’s going to be chewed up enough to gossip.
The gossip and stories were important.
Qualities are questionable.
The fact that Laplace Academy is the best in the world is already under threat.
‘It can’t go on like this’
It can’t go on like this.
There was a great chance that the neutral stake would flow to the damn brother.
No, even if it’s not, I can’t raise my face in this case.
First of all, the chairman is himself, and as the chairman, he allowed practice using monsters even if it was only a stamp because it was something that had been done so far.
The theory of responsibility was inevitable.
Your position will not be immediately threatened, but
One of the lines could have been cut off.
In that case, it is inevitable that one’s own power will weaken.
If you pay the price for an apology…
‘A way to break down… A way to shift the blame…’
Don’t lie.
But I had to find a way to go back smoothly.
“Chairman, is it okay if I go in?”
“Come in”
The man who secretly sent me to look for something odd to somehow turn it the other way came to the office and bowed his head.
“How was it?”
“Do this once…”
I picked up the object that the snow white man had given me.
“This is…”
It was a pattern I had seen before.
It was the pattern of Astra, a global villain organization.
“This item was obtained with difficulty at the place where the monster runaway incident occurred.”
“Then this case…”
“This is my personal opinion, but it doesn’t seem like a simple incident.”
“…”
Come to think of it.
No matter how much a basilisk is called a novice hunter, it is only for beginners, and professors of horses are beings that can handle such monsters no matter how many swarm them.
But it didn’t make sense that two such professors died.
Hana was poisoned while trying to protect the cadets because she was unarmed, and because of the late hour, she had no choice but to follow her luck and became a sacrifice.
Another professor was wearing poison-resistance equipment.
A situation you can never lose.
Something smelled bad.
“You mean they intervened?”
“The circumstances of the intervention have not been found, but we believe that there is a slight possibility.”
“I see…”
But I can’t be sure.
Which villain organization would secretly do something and then leave behind an item with a pattern saying that they did it?
It was so cunning that it seemed that someone was trying to frame them by relying on their notoriety.
‘Astra might have a chance, but…’
Of course, it could have been because Astra has such a temperament as the villain organization.
I didn’t even want to think about that.
If Astra really broke into Laplace Academy and caused the incident, it was because it was a more serious problem.
You didn’t know about the villain’s organization’s infiltration into the academy, and you’re simply judging it as a mistake by the faculty?
‘No’
This was a bigger bomb.
“Does anyone know about this?”
“I also barely found it, so others won’t know. But…”
“But…?”
“There was someone who was in the classroom with the professors at the time.”
“…”
If they intervened, there was an existence that could only be seen with those two eyes.
“Then, isn’t this case not their involvement?”
If he had seen it, he would have testified.
However, if you see nothing being said…
“That… I’m presumptuous, but it seems that they are smoking a smoke screen…”
“A smoke screen?”
“After I obtained this, I first got to know the cadet, and there is a story that he respected Professor Lee Nam-bong and followed him like a mentor… Professor Lee had a line… But he contacted Baek Seol-jun first. ….”
No.
If that’s true…
“Do you want to deal with it?”
“…”
Snow White shook his head.
No matter how much you want to keep your position as chairman, there are things you can and cannot do.
And this is clearly the latter.
It was not acceptable to smear this spot with blood.
‘Seolha-ya will become the chairman?’
‘Your father, I must make sure that my father’s stigma…’
“No, I will take care of that”
“Then I…”
“Mister, please try to find out if Astra really intervened in this case and to evolve public opinion.”
“Okay.”
I have no choice but to do this.
This is the correct answer.
Behind the snow-white man’s back
I remembered the name of the cadet I had to meet.
‘Lee Seong-hyun…’
We had to meet soon.
