After riding several people using Joy’s glory, we arrived at the academy’s dormitory.

Even if it was a baronial family buried somewhere, she was still the daughter of a noble family, so the dormitory where Vichy stayed was where nobles lived.

However, the dormitory she stayed in was small, unlike the one where me or Joy stayed.

Even though it was small, it was a nice place compared to the semi-basement where I lived in my previous life.

“I let Miss Bichy sleep for a while. I was in a state where I needed mental stability.”

According to Fabi, who was taking care of her, Vichy’s mind seemed to be in a very fragile state.

Is this necromancer suffering from PTSD just because he worked through that?

Really, this guy chose the wrong career path.

Umm. But it’s so difficult. If you don’t go through Vichy and talk to Adri, Fabi will find out.

There is some way.

-You don’t have to worry about that. Because this guy has already noticed everything.

After hearing Adri’s blunt words, I slowly turned my head, and Fabi nodded.

“…a poor saint. Since when did you know?”

“It’s been quite a while. It seems like it’s been at least half a year.”

“But why didn’t you quietly say anything?”

“The lady is just watching, so is there any reason for me to get involved?”

I couldn’t sense the slightest hesitation in Faby’s words, saying that she stayed still because I didn’t say anything.

So, if I say it’s okay, does that mean there’s no problem with being a necromancer and a necromancer?

…Thank you for trusting me.

I really appreciate it.

Isn’t this a bit excessive?

At least ask me.

“Over there. Two people? Could you please explain to me what you’re talking about?”

Joey raised his voice cautiously, thinking that Faby’s faith was heavy.

ah. He doesn’t know yet.

After thinking about it for a while, I blocked out the sounds inside and outside the room and then looked at Adri.

The old man sensed my intention and quietly showed himself.

– hello. Lady of the Patran family. The ghost of a fallen old family. My name is Adri.

“…U. Yuryeouh?!”

Joy took a step back, startled by the translucent appearance of Adri, and then turned her gaze towards me and Fabi.

“…Why aren’t you doing anything?”

“What should I do, idiot?”

“Do I need to do something?”

“No. There are undead.”

“Do you think all undead should be exterminated?”

“Hmm. Joey is a person who thinks people of different races should be killed? Such cruelty lies within seemingly foolish actions. As expected, she is the daughter of a sloppy duke.”

“Am I wrong?! Did I do something wrong!?”

When the two of us involved in the priesthood showed their indifference, Joey seemed to have calmed down and kept his mouth shut, then let out a voice that sounded like he was lamenting.

“So this ghost… why did Adri come to visit?”

“This old woman is a lonely ghost with no presence. It’s optimized for moving around secretly. You wouldn’t know it just by looking at it, right?”

When I opened my mouth, frowning in frustration, the expressions on both Adri and Joey’s faces became subtle.

“Young-ae. Could you explain to us what’s going on?”

“Some shabby rascal was kidnapped.”

Fabi expressed concern at the explanation that the daughter of Viscount Cleve, who lost her position to a follower of the Void, was presumed to be staying somewhere in the academy, and Adri slightly lowered his eyebrows.

– Is it about finding someone hidden by the power of the void?

“You can do it, right?”

– Can you tell me the suspicious location? Because we have to be efficient when looking for missing people.

I nodded at Adri’s words, took out a reasonably large piece of paper from my inventory, and immediately started drawing a map of the academy…

hmm. Mmm.

Every time I move my hand, the aesthetic sense within me screams.

There wasn’t much I could do in the face of aesthetic sense asking if I didn’t know how to draw a line properly.

Because the aesthetic sense was shamefully hit on me with only facts.

shit. The power that was most useless when fighting the followers of the void asserts itself most fiercely at such a useless moment!

It’s really annoying!

Regardless of the heat I received, the map of the academy, drawn following the advice of my aesthetic sense, was so neat that it was hard to believe it was drawn by me.

It’s as if there would be no discomfort even if it was inserted into the map like this.

“…Lucy. Were you good at drawing like this?”

“Youngjae’s talents are endless.”

The people around me who saw that were embarrassed, but I was more embarrassed than anyone else.

Is this really the map I drew?

I drew an ogre to enter the dungeon and was mistaken for a goblin!?

The aesthetic sense is really great.

I feel like I know where Perverted Sado’s artistry came from.

“Grandma. I’ll tell you where to find it, so remember it carefully. Since I haven’t developed dementia yet, I can memorize it, right?”

– There is no need to remember. Because I will be here.

When Adri raised her finger, small soul-like things appeared around her.

The pieces of the soul that I thought I could hold with my small hands were scattered into the air according to Adri’s command.

– Not here. Not here either.

Every time Adri waves his hand, the pen dances in the air and draws an X on the map.

The doubts that were rapidly narrowing in a series of breathing processes eventually ended with only one point left.

– I think it’s probably here.

“Why guess type? I guess the old lady is a poor person with no confidence in her own skills?”

– I can feel the energy clearly in other places, but it’s blurry here.

It’s probably filled with the power of the void. After erasing all clues, what remains is the truth.

Recalling what a famous detective might have said, I took my friends with me and headed to the place Adri pointed out.

That place was a hidden garden with a secret passage to the outside of the academy.

This place, which was like a maze in itself, had many hidden corners in addition to the passageways.

A box containing a potion or something. A bag of silver coins whose reason they are there is unknown. Something like stairs going down to the basement.

The secret items in this place, which are said to have been created decades ago as a joke by the dean, were of no use except in the passageway, so they were naturally destined to be thrown away.

But what if you’re thinking of using it as a hiding place for someone?

This becomes a very useful place.

Even among professors, this place is treated like an abomination.

Quang! When I press down on the floor with my feet, the iron plate hidden under the pile of dirt breaks and falls down the stairs with a loud noise.

When I saw him, I left a sphere made of divinity floating in the air and took a step toward the basement.

“Lady Cleve!”

The Viscountess we were looking for was sleeping peacefully next to a stamina potion, a reward given to those who discovered the basement.

and. The reward was so useless that even a Void follower wouldn’t take it.

It’s a really useless place.

It would be great if a dungeon was created with the same sincerity as a place like this.

“There is nothing wrong with the Viscount Lady’s body. The evil spirit has been taken over, so now all you have to do is open your eyes.”

Fortunately, contrary to our worries, the Viscountess was fine.

There is no need to worry since the saintess personally certified it.

As I watched Joy sigh in relief after hearing Fabi’s words, a doubt suddenly occurred to me.

“Stupid Joy.”

“What is it?”

“How did a clueless fool like you find a follower of shit?”

If Faby had noticed something was wrong, I wouldn’t have thought anything of it.

Even if Frey had discovered something, I would have thought that the beast had found something with its senses.

But not Joey.

Out of all my friends, the idiot who seemed the most incapable of distinguishing between these things discovered something strange!

There is definitely something here!

“…Even though I look like this, I am the duke’s daughter. There’s no way I wouldn’t be careful as I rally noble ladies.”

“Ah. okay? I know we idiots are really cool, so tell me how you found it.”

Joy raised her eyebrows as if she was annoyed by the words, which did not contain even that much sincerity, but instead of raising her voice, she sighed and continued her explanation.

“Do you remember how I destroyed the authority yesterday?”

“Yes. I remember it because it’s not like a simpleton.”

“…I don’t know if it was the influence of that time. Naturally, I felt something was wrong.”

Joy, who traced the disturbing energy and realized that it was the energy of an evil spirit, derived several small clues and confirmed that the evil spirit’s follower was a fake.

“Do you know? Lucy? I may seem like a fool to you, but I’m competent!”

“Are you competent? In the end, it was Joe who made a mistake at the crucial moment.”

“Well…but anyway.”

While Joey was purring his lips, I thought back to the story I had just heard.

The way she discovered the demon’s followers was completely different from mine or Fabi’s.

We can only find strangeness through our individual abilities and cannot convey this to others.

But not Joey. Joy’s method is based on being able to magically interpret the power of evil spirits.

To put it a little differently, it means that Joy can spread what she has destroyed by passing it on to others.

Creating an environment is not difficult.

There are a lot of things I can use in the academy right now.

With the help of an old maid who is aging in real time, you can obtain many tools.

possible.

It’s quite possible.

I can deal with the followers of the Void without having to spread my trinkets in a humiliating way!

Holding on to a glimmer of hope, I suddenly raised my head and looked at Joy.

Joey, who was looking sullen, met my eyes, blinked, and then slowly took a step back.

“Why. Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong again?!”

weird.

Joey is definitely capable.

In terms of magical talent, he is one of the best characters in Soul Academy.

He even showed off his talent right before my eyes.

Why am I so anxious because I am about to entrust you with an important task?

…You’ll be okay, right?
