Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

“There’s still some air inside. We won’t need to wander around a dungeon that’s submerged in water.”
“Yeah. That’s a relief…”
The inside of Leviathan’s Gate was said to be completely filled with water, and the atmosphere was so terrifying that several A-rank hunters who had entered first panicked. However, this time, there was air inside the Gate.
The floor was slick with water, and water was dripping from the ceiling, and the walls were so damp that water droplets were flowing down, and although the salty taste could be felt with every breath, at least it was possible to breathe.
It was much better than exploring underwater.

Splat

I put down the thing I had been carrying on my shoulder. The octopus legs sprawled on the floor, making a sticky sound.

“……Are you really going to eat that?”
Karna, who had been sneaking a glance at me, asked in a trembling voice. She didn’t look like a Royal Guard knight at all, as she was so scared. Apparently, she was really weak against seafood.
“Of course. I’ve packed it, so I will.”

I tapped the octopus legs, which were as tall as me and much thicker than my upper body. All eight of them were neatly packed and waiting to be shipped to the land.
In the end, it was not found out whether this guy was a monster that popped out of the Gate, or just an ordinary octopus that had grown bigger. He tried to escape when a few of his legs were cut off, but it was hard to judge from that.
I examined him from various angles after catching him, but I couldn’t tell because I didn’t have knowledge about seafood.
‘Anyway, it’s not me who’s going to research it.’
The wizards of the Magic Tower will do it. If I throw it to the Magic Association, they will classify it for me. If they refuse to do it, I can just force anyone to do it.

“I see……?”
Karna, who had been nodding hard, stopped. Then, she hugged her chest with both arms and carefully turned her body.

“D-don’t look at this side……”
Suddenly, I realized why she was doing that. The shirt Karna was wearing was white, and as she had entered the water, it was soaked and stuck to her body.

In other words, the beige-colored underwear could be seen through, and the navel and the well-trained 11-line abs were also visible.
Karna’ body, who had noticed my gaze, twisted. It would be better to dry her soon. I snapped my fingers, and Karna, who had been like a wet mouse, became fluffy dry.
“Are you not going to dry yourself, Mira?”
“Well, I will get wet again when I go out. It’s more convenient to dry all at once.”
The biggest reason to keep the clothes dry was to prevent hypothermia, but as there was no need to worry about that, it was okay to endure the sticky feeling.
“I think I will get wet again, anyway.”
I took out the Dragon Tooth and nodded. Karna, who had been wondering, reflexively brought her hand to her waist, but stopped.
“Just watch. I will do the killing.”

“O-okay. I got it.”
Karna answered, but she couldn’t take her hand off the sword handle even as she answered. It must be awkward to just watch from behind.

While we were doing this, the guys who had been swarming from the other side of the dungeon showed themselves. They were the fish-headed men whose bodies were like muscular male triangle-shaped reverse triangles from the shoulder to the feet, even though their heads resembled fish.
“Ugh……”
A small exclamation came out from beside me. It seemed to be a similar impression.
I frowned a little and ran ahead first. I stabbed my sword into the neck of the guy who was in the very front, bursting his upper body, and before the blood and flesh splashed on me, I kicked the second guy and moved.
The guy I kicked had his spine broken and his body folded in half, and he collided with his colleagues who were running from behind. I clenched my left fist, and the entangled fish-headed men froze all together.
I looked for the next target.
“It looks like we can go in now.”
It took only about 7 seconds to slice all 29 fish-headed men. Karna made a face at the bloody, fleshy liquid flowing down from the corpses.
“What will you do, Karna? Will you come with me again?”

“I’ll stay hereㅡ”
Karna was about to say that she would stay here, but she closed her mouth for a moment. Her eyes alternated between the neatly packed octopus legs and the bloody, smelly corpses of the fish-headed men.

“I-I will come with you!”
.
.
.
“Ugh. It’s really nasty.”
I frowned at the nasty smell rising from my whole body as I came up to the land.
I didn’t know that there was a guy who would burst himself and spread the nasty smell. I blocked the smell itself, but I couldn’t block the smell from spreading through the barrier film, so it turned out like this even though I caught him quickly. My shoes were also in a mess.

“Hyuu……”
Karna was burning her clothes while crying. The clothes she had been wearing were soaked like this, so she was wearing something a little more casual than usual.
Hot pants-like shorts and a white T-shirt that was a little shorter and exposed her abdomen every time she moved her body slightly. When I asked her about these because it didn’t look like her style, she said that it had been switched with something else while she wasn’t aware.
“Alright. That’s it.”
I sent the head of the fish-headed man, which looked like a mackerel, beyond the dimensional gate as proof of the subjugation. Karna didn’t even try to look at this side.
I took out a Post-it, wrote a few letters, and fixed it to the most visible place. Then, I opened the Gate and threw it in.
Karna, who had been diligently burning her clothes, looked up.

“Where did you send it?”
“To the Magic Association.”
“Really?!?”
I don’t know what’s so good about it, but Karna burst out laughing and went, “Kya kya kya kya kya!”
The Magic Association seemed to be infamous even among the Royal Guards.

“No. I threw it to see if it was a real octopus or a monster.”
Maybe because I’ve been through so much boring stuff, but there was a primitive pleasure in seeing those guys freak out. If they hated seafood, they would probably cry while working.

This time, I didn’t say I would teach them magic when it was over, so it would be even worse.

“……It’s done.”
After a while, Karna, who had burned her clothes, sat down next to me.
“Are you giving up on your clothes?”
“Yeah. Even if I dry them with magic, they still feel sticky. What about you?”
“I’ll do it when we’re done with the Gate. Anyway, I can just buy a new uniform.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“I told you that you didn’t have to follow me. If you had stayed here and enjoyed the view, you could have felt like you were on a vacation.”
“……”
Karna’ cheeks puffed up. She glanced at me and then burst out laughing again, realizing how ridiculous she was.

When I thought about it, Karna was probably around the same age as Kang Yuna, but somehow, she didn’t seem out of place as a student. Just the thought of Kang Yuna in a school uniform and pretending to be a student made me feel like throwing up.
“Let’s go. We should check out the other places, too.”
We visited the dimensional gates that were marked on the map in order: near the swamp, in the middle of the forest, next to the valley, in the middle of the grassland, and on the mountainside.
The places that the Academy professors had chosen as candidates were the middle of the forest, next to the valley, and in the middle of the grassland, but none of them even came close to the southeast coast we had visited first.
The valley was decent, but even Karna, who said that the valley was fine, couldn’t hide her attachment to the beach, so it was obvious which one was better.
“This is the last one.”
I sent the severed werewolf-troll’s head and entered the coordinates into the last dimensional gate. Even before entering, I could feel the coldness.

“Do you have the warmth magic?”

“Yes.”
Karna showed me the magical device on her wrist. Just like the underwater breathing magic, it showed the duration of the magic that maintained her body temperature and prevented frostbite and hypothermia.
I nodded and stepped through the Gate. As soon as I did, I was greeted by a fierce blizzard. If it weren’t for the magic, an ordinary human would have been swept away by the wind.
Karna, who came through the Gate after me, looked around and exclaimed softly.
“This is an amazing place. No wonder the demons don’t live here.”
“They don’t need to stay here.”
“Right. If they need a place to live, they can just stay in the Demon World, and if they want to harass humans, they can just go out and fight. Why bother staying here?”
Of course, this was only true for demons, not for monsters.
“So those guys must have come out of the Gate.”
Beyond the blizzard, which reduced visibility significantly, there was a yeti-like creature staring at us. It was even riding a horse that was covered in fur, just like itself.
“I’ve never seen these guys before…… but they must have come out of the Gate. All the reported monsters so far have been more wolf-like.”
Karna, who had been frowning and staring at them, nodded. Even as she said this, her body reflexively reached for her sword.
“Wait. There are more behind them.”
“More?”
Beyond the blizzard, a new silhouette appeared. It was another yeti, riding a horse covered in fur, holding a torch and a weapon.
However, the weapon in its hand didn’t look ordinary.

‘……Did I see that wrong?’
The weapon in their hands was not a crude club or spear, but a sword that looked as intricately crafted as those made by humans.
“Hmm? Are they monsters or demons?”
Karna was just as confused as I was. If they were demons, it would be a significant discovery that needed to be recorded.
ㅡ”Uwooo!”
The yetis beat their chests and roared. The horses moved to the sides, clearing a path. Through the gap, a large silhouette approached.
It was a yeti wearing a helmet and armor, and even its horse was wearing armor. In its hand was a crude-looking axe, just like the other yetis.
“……This Gate has a unique concept.”
I muttered softly and raised Dragon Tooth, aiming it at the yeti. The yeti pointed at me with its axe and roared. The other yetis rode their horses in unison, forming a battle formation.
“Do you need help?”
“No. I’m fine.”
They were monsters that could use weapons.
It would be great to catch them alive and bring them to the Magic Association.
