I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Episode 26

[CURRENT EPISODE]

IV. enemy

– 2. Escape

: I got out of the room I was locked in.

It is an old prison in the form of a tower. Magic can’t be used, and the students who landed in a faraway land overnight are terrified.

Can you lead your students out of this strange land safely?

The first part of the episode is the tower, but the longer you spend in the tower, the more dangerous it becomes. More specifically, a few die.

My goal is one. To save all 30 people and send them back to Summer Turge.

‘all.’

Class A has a lot of important forces.

When a proper class starts, everyone will do their part without exception. Losing even one person is a huge loss.

“Rockstrin.”

“why.”

“I will stand in front too.”

Frid approached with a hard face.

There was no need to refuse. Frid’s physical ability is far superior to that of Rocktrin. The environment he grew up in is much rougher and tougher, so he can rely on his back no matter what happens.

“Your Lord… … .”

have you ever killed It seems like he wanted to ask such an obvious question.

“In Aindarok, thousands are sent to limb every morning.”

“… … Yes.”

“Nothing new.”

I looked down at the dagger that hadn’t dried yet. I knew this could happen anytime.

There is an obvious ‘enemy’ in ＜Academy Summer Turge＞. Not only monsters, but people too.

If possible, I would like to kill him only with magic from a distance, but there are many times when things are not going well.

In preparation for this, I trained the image several times in my head. It was very helpful to witness the scene during the night raid.

“Were you upstairs?”

“When I woke up, I was with Her Highness. How did you guys end up like that?”

“Three Enpyrians, including Sir Broman, worked.”

It is a kingdom located in the southeast of the continent.

It was also featured in the Monthly Summer Turbine. Broman, the third prince of Enpyrian.

It’s on the opposite side of the Empire, and since it’s quite strong, there’s a tendency for the royal family to build their pride against the Empire.

Then what are you going to do?

I, a great aristocrat of the empire, became like this. If you still think of it as acting, it’s not even human-level intelligence.

“for a moment.”

gigg. gigg.

I stopped the kids and scratched the walls just like on the 8th floor.

There weren’t many rooms on the 7th floor without gaps. You can pick up some of the medicines you need here.

clap.

Upon unlocking the latch, he entered a room strewn with various vials.

[ITEM]

[Old Potion (Lesser)]

: Poor quality medicine. effect remains. Excellent for trauma.

Effective items are classified as items and information is displayed.

Even though I complain every time I don’t have the skills to use, I feel like I have something vaguely necessary at times like this. It’s sensible.

“what’s this… … .”

“It’s bloodstained all over.”

“Heh, hehe.”

A whimper is heard.

I couldn’t even scold him for that. It was only natural that the young ladies who had grown up with dignity could not understand this situation.

“Wake. If there’s nothing you can do, don’t get in the way. Pop!”

“Ueeng, Your Highness.”

“The imperial family is like that too. There are a lot of people who do nothing, but they don’t get kicked out.”

I entrusted it to the child.

Still, it’s a man in terms of form, and male students become stronger in front of female students. It’s okay to pretend to be dignified. Rather than shivering.

“This tower is strange.”

At that time, Frid, who was looking around the room, said.

“What is it?”

“The room can be locked from the outside, so it must be a prison.”

“right. It was the same on the 8th floor.”

“Then I am sure. But I don’t know if Mashu’s prison is the same as other prisons.”

Frid was often imprisoned when he was young. Most of them were released quickly since the cause was not a big deal due to the lord’s depravity, but they couldn’t forget the scenery inside the prison.

“Why aren’t there latrines inside?”

“Well… … ?”

is that so?

It’s a very valid point, and I haven’t been able to find an answer for a while.

I did roughly draw the background illustration inside the prison. But I didn’t draw it because I didn’t want to express something like a dirty toilet.

‘Even so.’

This is reality, not a game.

I know the parts that I couldn’t express yet, and I match them to reality. Right now, even in the Tower of Truth dormitory, there is a toilet in the room.

“Rockstrin. Look at this too.”

It was Fabian. I wanted to do something while squatting in the corner of the wall.

“Can you make something like this with human fingernails?”

“no.”

There were three large lines, scratches on the solid stone wall. The dent was thicker than a finger.

A person scratched it with a tool, or a monster scratched it. Looking at the form, it’s probably the latter.

“There was also a room where monsters were confined. I think they made it.”

“Do you have a room with monsters?”

“Yes. Three rooms I didn’t open while passing by.”

“Hey… … .”

“I’ll have to check on my way down, though.”

Frid said confidently.

“It doesn’t look like it was built from the start to trap people.”

There is a point.

Even if these things don’t help me escape, it’s well worth the effort to find out what I didn’t know.

Because those things will pile up one by one and create positive variables.

“Hey, Rockstrin… … .”

“why?”

“Do I have to go through all the rooms? Can’t we just go all the way down?”

“What if the same guy showed up earlier?”

“Yeah, but that… … .”

“I know it’s urgent, but with a dagger like this, two people are too much. Well, I don’t know if all 30 people run. Just got lucky What if they have weapons?”

Guys are on their guard.

I didn’t even bring a weapon, thinking that the other person was only 15 years old. It seems that he never thought that a knife would be stabbed in his throat.

But I put the first button wrong.

‘There are three people who are awake.’

Even if you go upstairs and scare the rampaging guys, it’s strange that they don’t come back until shift time has passed.

Before they come up to the 7th floor, we need to find some more reliable weapons.

‘Because this is random.’

It’s no fun if you have the same items in the same place every time you play.

There is a large sledgehammer somewhere on the 5th, 6th, or 7th floor. It is an item with an explanation that it can cause instant death if attacked by surprise.

A hammer that even a stalwart adult man can reliably send with a single blow to the back of the head is a hundred times better than a dagger that can’t be properly used.

The problem is that.

‘There may be a hammer in a room with monsters.’

Then you have to deal with the monsters with crappy tools you got from the torture chamber.

The main character will fight monsters and win with this crude dagger, but I am Rockstrin. I’ve never learned any martial arts.

Right now, I have no choice but to open each room without monsters while praying that it won’t happen. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it on the 7th floor.

“Going down.”

Unusually, the stairs do not run consecutively. Once you go up and down the floor, you have to go to the end of the hallway on the other side to reach the next staircase.

I didn’t have to be extra careful with the stairs, but seeing the children sprinting down like chicks following their mother hen, I felt breathless.

30 people.

too many.

Terribly many.

“There is no magic here either.”

Magic still doesn’t work.

If that happened, I would go straight down to the first floor right away. I have a child.

So if you go outside, you will be able to avoid the biggest crisis. Because it can be solved even if you don’t bring your child.

“It looks like a bucket of water, let’s take one.”

“Is this edible… … ?”

The sixth floor has many rooms used as storage.

Most of the rooms were secure, without latches, so I was able to pack groceries and water.

“Give me.”

I chewed something black that one of the boys had picked up and put it in my mouth. It smells bad and has no taste, but you can chew it.

It’s good to be young.

“Even though it tastes a little sour, it’s like dried lamb, so pack everything.”

“Uh, uh uh.”

It is better to keep as much preserved food as possible in prison.

If you go outside, you have to last for about two days, and it won’t be difficult to find a place to hunt properly, but you can’t afford to make preserved food.

“I think it might be alcohol.”

It was a room full of oak barrels.

Usually, these wines in oak barrels are luxurious wines. It’s standard to keep it underground, but seeing that they don’t even know how to store it, you can tell that the people who live here are ignorant.

Many of the students were aristocrats, and even if they drank at the age of 15, they did not see it as strange, so there were not a few people who noticed this.

“Everything is broken.”

“They are ignorant.”

“First of all, it’s just that you don’t know Highness Ainim or Sir Rockstrin.”

“Because Areas is a rural area.”

You cannot negotiate with someone who does not know your values.

Ironically, in this faraway land, not even in summer, the children realize what Dean Yurain had been so emphasizing.

Insignificant authority and authority are useless. Their value is so easily denied.

Those who have realized will go back and polish themselves diligently. At that time, it will be my role to watch it.

But now,

Not to watch, but to keep.

[ITEM]

[Rusty Sledgehammer]

: heavy A shot from the back.

I was lucky.

Found a hammer in this wine cellar. It was placed together in a pile of wood.

A shot from the back. It was a phrase that reassured me just by looking at it.

“You write this, give it to him.”

However, it is heavy for me to write.

He left the hammer to Frid, who had high strength, and passed the skewer to another male student.

With the stairs going down to the 5th floor in front of me.

“Everyone be quiet.”

I raised my left hand and stopped the children.

At times like this, there were people who always knocked something down, sneezed, and screamed, but none of that happened. Seeing them even hold their breath makes me proud.

I put my ear to the floor, so I can hear a faint voice. Maybe it’s the 4th floor, not the 5th floor.

“This bastard asked me to eat, but why didn’t he come? Shall we just eat together?”

“Well, at least one young lady is holding onto and playing. leave it alone Seeing how quiet he was, I think he scared me a bit.”

“You’re fucking. Aren’t all the guys from Areas Academy nobles anyway? All of the aristocratic bastards should be smothered.”

“You don’t get paid, you idiot.”

There was such a story going on.

It looks like he was getting ready to eat something. I recited their conversation verbatim.

“They don’t seem to know that we are the people of the Empire.”

“right. I heard that Areas’ academy doesn’t allow commoners to enter.”

“Aren’t we in summertime?”

What are you going to do if you complain about injustice? It doesn’t make sense to ignorant people.

“Can I convince you?”

“One has already died… … .”

“There’s no room for conversation, but even if it does, there’s nothing good about revealing it.”

“I think the same.”

My son and I agreed.

If you accept that as the truth, you have no choice but to be more rough on them.

Kidnapped the princess, Ainim von Rongrth, and Lockstrin Aindarok. Can you survive if you appeal for mercy?

‘No way.’

They will die a death more terrible than the worst imaginable, and no one will dispute the annihilation of the Gujok.

It would be more merciful to die here.

“Fred, follow me.”

“Yes.”

“The rest wait here.”

A good opportunity arose.

The majority need not move. I brought Frid down and went straight through the hallway to the 4th floor.

less so, less so.

The sound of scraping dishes is already loud. I told Frid to make his footsteps loud on purpose, and I muffled the footsteps.

“Can you?”

Frid nodded heavily.

A savory smell wafted from the room that looked like the kitchen. The door was wide open on both sides.

three

two

one.

It came with a hand signal.

“What if I come now-“

Kwajik!

The head he was holding and eating was crushed and buried in a bowl. While the guy on the other side opened his mouth wide, I dug in through the back door and thrust my dagger into it.

“Oops! Cuck!”

I’m just uncomfortable only me.

At least, unlike the guy who had climbed up to the 7th floor, he was too skinny and had no strength. It’s better to be certain, so I kicked him and backed off.

bang. The hammer went down without a hitch.

In an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

“great.”

this is the main character This is why it is worthwhile to bring them up.

“Huh, huh… … .”

Freed, who was relieved of tension belatedly, let out a rough breath. The hand holding the hammer trembled.

I didn’t move much, but a cold sweat broke out on the nape of my neck. He patted Frid on the stiff shoulder.

“Don’t make a fuss, man. A big, distracted guy.”

“Shut up, are you done?”

Finally, put your ear on the floor.

The noise wasn’t too loud. Those sleeping on the second floor haven’t woken up yet.

I nodded.

“Let’s take the kids out.”
