Chapter Index

    Suddenly-

    Lucy opened her tightly closed eyes and stood up.

    Apparently, while talking with Ellis, Nam Da-eun came in, and immediately after that, something hit Lucy’s body.

    “What is this? Ugh.”

    An eerie magical power that envelops the entire body.

    As soon as Lucy came to her senses, she endured her discomfort and immediately went to find Rumi.

    “Rumi, Rumi. Where is Rumi?! Are you okay?”

    “I’m here. Lucy….”

    “Rumi! I’m glad. Ugh….”

    “Ugh. Ugh.”

    Lucy touched Rumi’s cheek and let out a sigh of relief.

    Fortunately, there don’t seem to be any injuries.

    “W-Where am I?! Ouch!”

    “This is crazy…! I couldn’t even save the assignment, what is this!”

    After confirming that Rumi was okay, the surrounding situation also caught Lucy’s eyes.

    People I saw for the first time were standing around and panicking.

    “… what?”

    A gloomy chill surrounds my body.

    The inside of this dark, cave-like space was filled with an eerie magical energy.

    “Ugh, ugh….”

    “ouch….”

    “Ellis? Da-eun?”

    “… What is this situation? A magical power suddenly attacked me.”

    “I was also overcome in an instant.”

    Ellis and Nam Da-eun soon came to their senses.

    At a time when they had not yet figured out the situation.

    People started to appear around me.

    Lucy and Rumi woke up in a place where no one was around, but it turned out that they had appeared out of thin air.

    And soon a familiar person appeared.

    “Eh, Ellis?! Why are you here….”

    “Sister? I really want to ask. Do you know what this situation is?”

    As soon as Irene saw Ellis, her eyes widened and she approached.

    She was taken aback by the sudden magical power, but meeting Ellis inside it was even more surprising.

    Irene clenched her fists as she thought about Hoyeon Lee.

    “I don’t know exactly, but… you even got Ellis involved. I have to somehow get rid of that bastard Lee Ho-yeon….”

    “… Lee Ho-yeon?”

    Ellis placed her hand on her forehead, feeling a pounding headache.

    For some reason, it’s been quiet these days, but something happened right away.

    “Scarlett. What kind of situation is this?”

    “… I’m not sure either. However, at the last moment, Hoenn did not control the magic circle. I confirmed that for sure.”

    “Ugh. I saw that too. Is it a runaway magic circle? But I don’t think the baby’s father would make that mistake.”

    Scarlett quietly opened her mouth as she looked at the confused atmosphere, and Rebecca quickly began to understand the situation.

    As soon as Liliana entered the dungeon, she unfortunately hit her head on a stone.

    “Ah, ouch… the head. Why is there a stone? Hehe.”

    When Liliana was crying.

    Rebecca felt the magic around her as she looked at the back of Irene running towards Ellis.

    Since meeting Lucifer, I had been continuously training in the magic of hell, so I was able to understand the surrounding situation even inside a runaway dungeon.

    “It’s similar to the runaway phenomenon in the dungeon… I’m sure it’s a magic circle I made together with the baby’s father. Although the final appearance is a bit questionable.”

    “For what purpose did Hoyeon create this? I’m sure he didn’t want to commit terrorism…”

    Scarlett frowned as she looked around.

    There were academy cadets and professors in the fake dungeon, but there were also people without combat skills, such as employees and the elderly.

    There was no reason for that, and I thought that no matter how strange Lee Ho-yeon was, he wasn’t that bad of a person.

    – Crrr to !

    – Ugh. Gaaa.

    “Ugh, wow!”

    “Monster… monster! Run away!”

    At that time, strangely shaped monsters appeared in one corner of the dungeon.

    A lifeless and hideous appearance that not even the Academy’s cadets have ever experienced.

    People instantly fell into confusion.

    “Elise. Let’s overcome this crisis together.”

    “…Sister. Don’t say anything weird and calm the general public down first. Me and you can quickly calm people down.”

    “Oh, really?”

    “Everyone, don’t panic and stay calm! I’m Moon Su-rin, the student council president. Please stay calm.”

    Irene, who was trying to understand the atmosphere around her after listening to Ellis, turned her head when she heard voices filling the dungeon.

    There was someone here who could reassure people more than he could.

    “Everyone, please gather around here. Those who can fight will be classified separately.”

    “Sol, don’t you know what’s going on?”

    “It’s a little awkward, but… I think it’s probably a dungeon. As the runaway phenomenon occurred, the dungeon also became irregular. Could it be that I got caught up in the runaway phenomenon of a huge dungeon?”

    Im Sol, who was caught up in the dungeon with Moon Su-rin, answered Baek A-young’s words and then tilted her head to look around.

    An ominous wave of magical power that even he could not stop.

    That sinister magic filled the inside of the dungeon.

    Moon Su-rin reassured people and classified them into combatants and non-combatants.

    After ensuring the safety of the people, Su-rin Moon asked Lim Sol for his opinion.

    “It seems to be a runaway phenomenon in the dungeon. It seems like the surrounding creatures were forcibly pulled into the dungeon. It seems like a new runaway phenomenon that has never been discovered before. What do you think, Professor Lim Sol?”

    “I think so too. Phenomenons similar to dungeon runaways are being observed.”

    Understanding the situation was completed quickly.

    Like the aces of the academy, I quickly figured out that it was a dungeon runaway phenomenon just by reading a few phenomena.

    It was an action that perfectly matched Lee Ho-yeon’s intentions.

    “Still, it’s fortunate that there are a lot of combat personnel. I think the people inside the academy were divided into various branches… I hope no one suffered too much damage.”

    The dungeon was expected to have invaded the entire academy, and people from far away gathered at random.

    People at the academy probably fell all over the dungeon.

    Fortunately, the place where Moon Su-rin is is okay, but what kind of terrible thing would have happened if only non-combatants had gathered?

    The monsters that appeared in one of the dungeons exposed their teeth as they looked at the humans.

    Although the spittle dripping on the floor was very threatening, it did not attack us.

    Because it was an important space, Lee Ho-yeon paid attention to security.

    “Coincidentally… there are some familiar faces, hmm?”

    Under the leadership of Moon Su-rin, combat personnel and non-combat personnel were divided.

    However, among the combat personnel, there was someone I had never seen before at the academy.

    “So, these people…? I don’t think they are related to the Academy. Do you know Irene? Were you together just a moment ago?”

    “Yes. It’s an acquaintance. Don’t worry.”

    “I definitely remember seeing it somewhere… ah.”

    Scarlett and Liliana avoid eye contact.

    I remembered seeing Nam Da-eun and Rebecca smiling awkwardly.

    The restaurant where Moon Seong-min was captured alive.

    These are the women who went on a date with Lee Ho-yeon there.

    Only then did Moon Su-rin bow his head and say hello.

    “Nice to meet you for the first time. I couldn’t say hello to you properly back then, right? Those of you who ate with Hoyeon.”

    “… Nice to meet you, student council president.”

    “I really want to talk a little more, but… I don’t have time for that right now.”

    Nam Da-eun, who only knew Moon Su-rin, bowed her head and received greetings.

    Moon Su-rin also looked at the faces of other combatants.

    First-year prospects, twins Lucy Rumi and Nam Da-eun.

    Sisters Ellis and Irene of the Iris Guild.

    Professor Lim Sol and the saint.

    And three women who don’t know how strong they are, and the student council president himself.

    “Surprisingly, they are all women. I will take a moment to check on the non-combat personnel. Please exchange greetings.”

    “”… .””

    As soon as the student council president left, there was an awkward atmosphere.

    The women didn’t really know each other yet.

    Ellis looked at Irene next to her and whispered.

    “Sister. What should we do now?”

    “I don’t know. Of course, there is no contact outside… I don’t think there is any contact inside the dungeon either.”

    “I heard it’s because of Lee Ho-yeon. Do you know anything in detail?”

    “I saw the last of you, but… I have a lot of questions.”

    “What is it? Please tell me in detail.”

    Even Ellis, who knew the existence of fake dungeon magic circles, could not believe that this was Hoyeon Lee’s magic circle.

    To that extent, the dungeon felt realistic.

    The time when Irene was explaining Lee Ho-yeon’s last appearance to Ellis.

    Liliana, who had been quiet, raised her head.

    “…I discovered something amazing.”

    “Huh? Liliana. Do you have any information about the dungeon?”

    “Is it the Iris Guild because the Iris Guild is Irene and Ellis? It felt familiar somehow. Yes, yes.”

    “….”

    Nam Da-eun blinked as she saw Liliana saying something out of the blue.

    What are you talking about all of a sudden? What does being trapped in the dungeon have to do with the Iris Guild?

    It was Scarlett who saved Nam Da-eun from confusion.

    “Miss Daeun, don’t worry about what Liliana says.”

    “Ah, yes. But why are you all here?”

    “… I’d like to ask that too.”

    “Who are these two here? Does Da-eun know anyone?”

    Rebecca approached Lucy and Rumi who were watching Nam Da-eun next to them.

    Rebecca was a mature woman from a young age, so seeing children like that warms my heart.

    “Hello. My name is Lucy.”

    “Che, nice to meet you. I’m Rumi.”

    “Ugh. They’re cute kids. Is Da-eun your junior?”

    “He’s in the same class as me. He’s the same age as Hoyeon.”

    “… okay?”

    I remember seeing these two before. She was the baby’s father’s girlfriend.

    Rebecca was briefly surprised that these small children were in the same class as Lee Ho-yeon, but when she saw the two large lumps hanging below her collarbone, she thought it might be so.

    Let’s get rid of the bad habit of thinking that just because you are short, you are young.

    “Rebecca. It’s been a while. How have you been?”

    “Ah, Wizard Imsol!”

    Rebecca’s eyes sparkled as she saw Imsol approaching.

    Fortunately, the atmosphere was lightened a little by the presence of Rebecca, who was not shy.

    “Do you have any information about the current phenomenon? From what you said earlier, it seemed like you knew something.”

    An ominous magical energy surrounds the body.

    Imsol flinched and spoke to Rebecca.

    The elaborately created fake dungeon was enough to fool Im Sol.

    There’s no reason to think it’s fake in the first place, so that’s a big thing.

    “Hmm. Yes. I know to some extent.”

    Rebecca looked at Imsol and thought for a moment.

    Should I talk about Lee Ho-yeon or not?

    Which choice will be more helpful to Ho-yeon Lee?

    ‘… The last sight of my baby’s father was definitely strange.’

    I don’t know what Lee Ho-yeon’s intentions were, but it’s clear that things went differently than he intended.

    We don’t know what the cause is, but we need to help.

    “Actually, before I came here, I met Hoyeon.”

    “Really? What happened? Why?”

    “Ugh, Mr. Ayoung. Just a moment. Let go of my shoulder.”

    Rebecca pushed away Baek A-young, who was running towards her, and then continued speaking.

    Lucy and Rumi also looked in this direction with wide eyes, and Lim Sol and Nam Da-eun also focused on Rebecca’s words.

    “…So you’re saying the disciple led us into a trap?”

    “No. I think the accident probably occurred differently than Hoyeon thought.”

    Nam Da-eun, who was quietly listening, looked at Rebecca.

    If you saw Lee Ho-yeon until the end, shouldn’t they still be together?

    “Then where is Hoyeon? If he had been with Rebecca, he would have gotten caught up with her.”

    “I don’t know. To ask the exact situation, no, I need to find Hoyeon. I’m sure he knows how to escape from here.”

    “Rebecca, do you know where Hoyeon is?”

    “I don’t know. But I have a feeling.”

    “I think I know where it is.”

    Imsol, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, answered Rebecca’s words and raised her magical power.

    – Boom. thud.

    Imsol, who is sensitive to magical power, had been feeling it since a while ago.

    No, of course anyone with a certain level of skill would feel it.

    The dungeon was ringing at regular intervals.

    The magic power vibrated, as if there was an earthquake.

    It was clear there was something there.
