Before chasing Liz and the culprit of this incident, I approached the guards hanging out in the corner.

“No, that lady’s breasts are bigger?”

“Ah, that’s not it.”

The two were continuing a low-level discussion with serious expressions as they stared into the chests of the ladies passing by.

‘The level of speaking is no different from Lotos just 5 years ago.’

I shook my head and approached the guards.

“Look here.”

“Do you have anything to do with us?”

They both looked at me with sinister smiles.

It may have been an act of formality, but it was quite unpleasant to see.

“I have something to do.”

“What is that… Wow!”

Pow! Sigh!

I fluttered the hem of my dress and delivered a precise kick to their necks.

I took the sword from the guard’s waist.

Sreung!

When I pulled out the sword, a sword with a bright blue edge appeared.

Just by looking at the condition of the sword, I could guess how much effort it must have been put into it, as if the superior was doing a good job of checking its condition.

“It’s pitiful to see them taking care of their swords like this even in a peaceful place like this.”

I laughed, put the knife on my belt, and headed toward the alley where Liz was trudging.

‘There it is.’

I began quietly following Liz, hiding behind walls and objects.

She just walked, looking blankly at one place, wondering where she was going.

‘Where on earth are we going?’

Today, I remembered that the Vice Dean said that the kidnapped female students were going as if possessed by something.

‘I thought that if I followed Liz like this, I might be able to find the culprit.

While I was following Liz for a while, other ladies were also heading to one place as if they were possessed by something like Liz.

“How bold… to take advantage of the bustle of the festival to kidnap so many people.”

“That’s right.”

“Ugh?!”

Suddenly, I was startled by a voice coming from behind me and swung my knife.

“Yikes!”

He quickly stepped back and dodged the knife.

“Shamir?”

“Yes, it is me.”

“Why are you here?”

“I followed you to ask when you would like to eat together.”

“Did you really have to say that now?”

“I thought it was important, so I came dressed well.”

Shamir straightened his cut collar.

“Hmm… I’ll reimburse you for the clothes later.”

“We pay the price by promising a meal.”

“Why on earth are you having a meal with me?”

“If there is an idiot who saves money on a meal with a beautiful woman, I think that person is the problem.”

“Even if your mouth is open, you can make embarrassing noises without blocking it…!”

I slapped Shamir’s lips with my palm.

“Look over there instead.”

When I looked at the place Shamir pointed to, I saw many ladies gathered in front of the old fountain in a daze, having lost consciousness.

“Why are they gathered there?”

“I don’t know that either.”

Shamir shrugged his shoulders.

At that moment, a young lady threw herself into the fountain.

with a plop!

The young lady threw herself into the fountain, making a splash, and did not come up even after some time had passed.

“What… what is it?”

In a sudden situation, Shamir and I froze and looked at the situation.

Soon after, the other ladies threw themselves into the fountain one by one.

I carefully got up, pushed away the ladies gathered around the fountain, and approached the fountain.

In the fountain, only the bottom was visible and only the waves were flowing.

“What, where did you go?”

I rubbed my eyes and looked inside again, but all I could see was the bottom of the fountain full of scale.

“It looks like the fountain is connected to other places by magic.”

Shamir rubbed his chin and looked at the bottom of the fountain.

“First of all, I think we need to wake these ladies up first.”

I approached the ladies and grabbed their sideburns.

“Uttattattattattata!”

“Aaagh!”

One by one, the ladies, who had come to their senses from the pain of having their sideburns pulled, began to come to their senses.

“Where am I?”

“What… I was watching fireworks?”

Clap clap!

To focus the panicked ladies, I put my hand on the wall.

“You were kidnapped.”

“Yes?!”

The ladies were horrified by my words and shrugged their shoulders.

“To be exact, I almost got kidnapped.”

“What does that mean?”

A young lady courageously stepped forward and asked.

But instead of answering, I pointed to the exit.

“If you walk straight there, you will come to a square, so you can go back.”

“Sounds that I don’t even know English…”

“If you want to stay in this eerie place, you can stay.”

The ladies hesitated, not knowing what to do, and began to leave this place one by one.

“Shall I go in too?”

I ripped the ribbon from my dress and untied the knot.

Her hair was gathered and tied at the back of her head like a horse’s tail.

“Oh…”

Shamir saw that and was slightly impressed.

“Why is that so?”

“It seems like you can see so many different things when you’re around.”

“That’s nonsense.”

I smiled and stood on top of the fountain.

“Are you coming along too?”

“Of course.”

“Even if there is no compensation?”

“Of course.”

“When I look at your actions, I sometimes forget that you are Otman’s spy.”

“Every time I see you, I forget that I came here as a spy.”

At his words, I frowned and went straight into the fountain.

“Where is this again?”

When I entered the fountain, I returned to the same position as the fountain just before.

“What is this?”

I looked around with a confused expression.

“Hmm… were I denied entry?”

“Did it fail…”

I scratched the back of my head.

“First, let’s go back.”

“So be it.”

I trudged out of the fountain.

“Should I just go in and sleep…”

“Would you like a cup of coffee?”

“No, I’ll just go to sleep.”

“By the way, is the festival over already?”

I felt a sense of déjà vu in the extremely quiet academy.

“Isn’t something suspicious?”

“It seems like that to me.”

We quickly ran towards the square.

When I arrived at the square, the square, which had been as bright as day, had disappeared and was dark as if it were in ruins.

“What on earth is going on…”

I looked around to see if there was anyone there.

“There’s someone over there.”

In the middle of the empty square, someone stood still and upright.

“Let’s go.”

I drew my knife and approached the man standing in the middle of the square.

“Uhm… I’ve never called a man before…?”

As we approached, he tilted his head and looked at Shamir.

“What does that mean?”

“It looks like a leech caught me while I was hunting.”

We just looked at him blankly as the man muttered to himself incomprehensibly.

Quang!

“Wow!”

Suddenly, he rushed forward and attacked Shamir.

Shamir, who was taken by surprise, was thrown to the ground without any time to do anything.

Quang! Quang!

He grabbed Shamir by the hair and repeatedly slammed his head to the ground.

Sreung!

I quickly pulled out my knife and cut his wrist.

“Keuuu…!”

He groaned in pain as his hand was cut off.

“This… bitch…!”

His entire body turned red and lumps began to protrude here and there.

“How dare you make me bleed?!”

He made his fingernails longer and then lunged at me.

He pointed his finger at my heart, but I easily turned my body to the side to avoid the attack.

Sigh!

I went straight behind him and cut his back with the knife.

“Aaagh!”

He cried out, clutching his blood-covered back.

“Is Shamir okay?”

“Yes…”

Shamir stood up and stretched his neck, bending it here and there.

“I just couldn’t deal with the sudden attack.”

When Shamir chanted a spell, a curved sword appeared in his hand.

“Are you a magic swordsman?”

“A magic swordsman… They call them magic swordsmen over there.”

“Isn’t it?”

“You can think of it as a leftover skill that you learned because it was annoying to maintain a sword.”

As soon as Shamir finished speaking, he rushed at the person who attacked him.

“These… these… bitches!!!”

He gritted his teeth and began to transform.

Hair began to grow long all over its body, wings sprouted from its back, and its fingernails and teeth became large and sharp.

“There’s all that stuff…?”

Shamir, who had been running towards him with murderous intent, stopped in his tracks as he looked like a monster or a devil.

“Shamir! Attack while transformed!”

Shamir nodded at my shout and jumped in like a cannonball.

[die!]

Shamir shouted in Turkic language and stabbed the man who was turning into a monster.

Sigh!

“Quaaahhh!!!”

“Oh…!”

The attack seemed to have worked as the monster screamed and appeared in pain.

Shamir and I smiled at that sight.

“I almost said, “Aaaahhh….””

The monster grinned and grabbed Shamir by the collar.

“Oh my…! Run away! This guy is dangerous…!”

The monster that grabbed Shamir by the collar blew him away.

Quang!

A cloud of dust rose as if a cannonball had hit the building.

“I used up so much energy because of you. Don’t take that blood!”

He rushed at me, showing his yellow teeth.

“No!”

Shamir, who was stuck in the building, stretched out his hands and screamed.
