13th floor of Monster Tower.

It is a no-access area that is on a different level from the various dungeons scattered throughout Beatus Academy.

What is a monster?

Humans posed a threat to themselves, sometimes used magic, and called humans, demons, and other creatures monsters.

When the Empire built the Academy, this land was the home of monsters.

The stronger the creatures called ‘monsters’ by humans, the higher their intelligence. They demanded dialogue and negotiation from humans.

If you give me a better home than this land, I will gladly leave!

We have no intention of attacking humans!

We just want to live life like humans.

We wish only for peace, for friendship, for companionship with man!

Emperor of an empire greater than the sun, higher than these high mountains of Berdiya! Please look down on us.

Please hear our request.

Powerful monsters with advanced intelligence have learned human language. Because I wanted to communicate with people.

After making thorough preparations, they went to a meeting prepared by the emperor and conveyed the opinions of each tribe.

The emperor listened to the monsters’ opinions and then spread his arms with a benevolent smile.

They were so moved that they bowed down to the mercy of the emperor.

Then a low voice came from the podium.

-Everyone, return to nothingness.

A huge holy spear flew out and pierced the bodies of the monsters.

There was no way my knee would straighten.

The emperor had no intention or will to negotiate with them from the beginning.

Why should I, who have powerful armament and powerful soldiers, accept their offer?

He only looked at ‘humans’ as human beings.

In other words, it was okay to trample on everything that was left except humans.

Especially if it helps humans!

The emperor’s initiative led to a war between humans and monsters. The monster tribe alliance has never gained the upper hand.

No matter how powerful a monster has accumulated, it cannot compete with human unity.

All the powerless monsters were killed. The powerful monsters hated humans and gathered in one place to sleep.

History completely distorted this event and reversed the position.

Records say that the emperor, enraged by being betrayed by monsters, exterminated them and built an academy. This is called the ‘Meeting on Mount Verdiya’.

It has been 100 years since the Emperor established Beatus Academy to celebrate human victory.

A tower with no end in sight rose in the outskirts of the academy. Some said that the size of the tower seemed to represent hatred towards humans.

People in fear called it the Tower of Monsters.

Unlike other dungeons, only people from the Academy could enter the Monster Tower.

It was a moment when a new challenge arose for the students.

.

The location of the Monster’s Tower is located in the northern part of District 1, Executor Latina’s jurisdiction.

To enter a restricted area, you must obtain permission from the person managing the site.

It must be certain because in the latter part, when Jenna broke through the 13th floor, she needed Latina’s permit.

[Tower of Monsters: American Frontier 13th floor]

The Latina frowned and stood up.

Even though he glared at me, who was taller than him, he never gave up his hard-line attitude.

As if to prove that he was no longer a weak rookie who was swayed by Dyers.

“I don’t know if you’ll try to persuade me with your devil’s tongue again, but I won’t give in.”

“I didn’t come here to ask for permission. Since I’m already preparing, I’m saying I’ll go no matter what you say.”

Patter.

The pencil Latina was holding turned into powder. It looks like he was angry at me for saying that he would go unconditionally.

“…I’m here to inform you, not to give permission?”

“That’s right.”

“As the executive officer, I said absolutely no way. You know very well that the 13th floor dungeon is a forbidden area that no student council in Beatus has been able to clear. Besides, a person who even tried to go in himself tells me that he will go back in?”

“……”

I kept my mouth shut and looked at the Latina.

The Latina seemed to get even more angry at that action and grabbed my sleeve tightly.

“You are always the same. Do you know that when you were on the student council, you never said a single word to me properly when you were doing something?!”

“So, in order to present a specific plan now…”

“Don’t play with words! I wasn’t at the academy at the time, but I know everything. The former student council president disappeared there.”

“……”

“The disappearance of such a strong person means that conquest is impossible. Isn’t that why the 13th floor has been designated as a no-go zone for the next 100 years? To prevent further casualties!”

She ignored my opinion by banging the side of her neck in frustration.

The reaction is strangely strong.

Have you ever stolen a secret from someone else’s diary? I don’t know why they do it like that.

“If you don’t sleep for 3 days, doesn’t your tension usually drop? How do you maintain that level of tension with such dark circles?”

Ah, it’s tmi, but there is no such thing as tension in this world. If there was one, the fashion-sensitive red-haired MZ kid would have used it a long time ago.

“Ten..? What are you saying! If you do it, I’m stopping you because you’re a man who has to die to do it. You are going there to die.”

“…It is not too late to listen to what I say first and then judge.”

Although it was rare for her to appear in that position, the Latina ignored my words and continued speaking. Not wanting to waste any more time, she turned her thin legs and turned her back to me.

“If I killed you, I would have killed you. I can’t see you dying yourself. The student council is absolutely howlan. greatness. Please know that we will not give permission to Dyers. Get out now.”

The Latina cleared her throat as if she were stinging and gave the order to congratulate the guests.

It seems he realized that he was the one who eliminated ‘Howlan’ from Howlan Dyers.

From my point of view, I’m more thankful that they kicked me out, so don’t worry about it.

I walked up behind her, who had her back to me, took her hand, and put the paper I had taken out of her pocket.

“…Aren’t you going to take this hand away?”

I jumped towards the door, leaving the disgusted Latina behind. You might get hit, so it’s best to run away.

“Data related to the 13th floor. It would be good to read it.”

“…hu. Why on earth are you doing that?”

The Latina ruffled her hair roughly. However, the paper was not put back in the trash can.

done.

That woman reads my documents unconditionally.

Full of confidence, I opened my mouth.

That is, before the Latina turned her back on me again and tore up my paper.

Wow. Cheeik.

The paper makes a clear sound and falls like a cherry blossom petal that has reached the end of its life.

No matter how many times she repeated this, the Latina’s expression did not change.

This shows that there is no further will to negotiate. No, she was consistent from the beginning, throwing my papers in the trash.

For her who hates me, wouldn’t it be better if I went to the 13th floor dungeon?

“Why do you make me do this?”

“…I thought I would have made a better choice, but it’s a shame.”

“Shut up. That’s what I have to say.”

As our eyes collide again and our nerves continue, we soon realize that there is no answer.

In the end, I backed away, turned around and opened the door.

“I hope you can take responsibility for your actions now.”

“If threats had worked, I wouldn’t be here right now.”

The door slowly closes.

“I’m not going to die.”

“…Otherwise, I don’t understand what you’re going for.”

“I said it from the beginning. I’m going to save you.”

With those words, the door closed completely.

I quickly accelerated my steps to carry out my next plan.

.

Latina refuses permission, citing clear statistics and principles.

It is said that most people who have gone there so far have been seriously injured or have not even been able to return, so they should not go there.

This is an extremely natural and normal way of thinking.

[Last night in the student council room, Latina, the current District 1 enforcer, and Dyers, the current owner of the bungeoppang restaurant, had a ‘fierce fight’]

[‘I thought one of them was going to die.’ [Relationship between Dyers and Latina deteriorates?]

[Vivid testimony from Ms. A, ‘I think Dyers crossed the line first.’ What is the public’s reaction? ‘I’m used to it because it’s always been that way’, ‘It’s Dyers after all.’]

[Dyers responded to a direct interview with the Press Department, saying, ‘We are trying to see the end of the banned 13th floor.’ Shocking statement!]

[Clearing the 13th floor, which was considered impossible. ‘Failure’ Howlan Dyers knows the secret!]

[Howlan Dyers, ‘Beatus Academy was originally for students. Even the monster’s tower is no exception…’ It can definitely succeed.]

[‘Make Beatus Academy great again.’ Has Dyers already decided on a slogan? Announcement of candidacy for the position of president?!]

[Today at 12 PM, continuous interview with Dyers at the Platform of Wisdom! It was decided that the press department would be in charge of the preliminary on-site meeting…]

.

.

.

[An unfortunate failure who was kicked out of the Howlan family. Dream again.]

After leaving the student council room, I immediately tried to contact the media department.

If the other side puts forward a fair and just principle, this side uses propaganda.

Sometimes, it ambiguously mixes fabrication and truth to stimulate the public’s consciousness and dopamine.

Since public sentiment is the will of heaven, it is something that even the student council cannot blatantly ignore.

In order to get permission, public sentiment must be on my side.

Therefore, I gave a stubborn answer to the student council, which responded with a stubborn refusal.

The idea of publishing an article like that and answering an interview like that while the eyes of those in power are wide open is as follows.

No matter what you say, I will definitely do it.

So, shut up and give us permission before it escalates into an all-out war.

“I have to prepare soon.”

I put down the coffee I was drinking and stood in front of the mirror.

The appropriately tailored suit suited me quite well. He doesn’t have a particularly handsome face, but he certainly doesn’t have the looks to make anyone call him ugly.

“The work was done much faster and better than expected. Beatus’ media department is also at a different level.”

As soon as I finished appreciating the suits, admiring their ability to smell money and take action, the door opened by itself.

“…Huh? I don’t remember opening the door. It’s not magic and I don’t feel any mana.”

“……Hehe. Whoa. Ha…”

A familiar breathing sound.

Jenna, my eternal heroine, opened the door. I turned to face him happily.

“You must be busy with midterm exams soon. What’s going on? Still, it’s nice to see you after a long time…”

“Sir, just a moment! Please answer my question first!”

Jenna extended her hand to me and handed me a crystal ball.

It was full of articles about me.

“Haa… Hea… Isn’t this true? Is there some misunderstanding?”

“It’s difficult to answer. Some things are true and some things are not true.”

“Thank goodness! Then it’s not true that you said you were going to the 13th floor dungeon?!”

Jenna held my hand and placed it on her head as if she was very happy.

I said, lightly stroking her head.

“That’s true.”

“…A. Don’t lie.”

“The rest is a bit ambiguous, but that part is definitely true. I can say it with everything I have.”

“I see..”

Jenna smiled brightly, impressed by my tough attitude. guy. One way or another, he is one of my most trustworthy allies in an academy full of enemies.

“Then I’ll tie you up!”

“Wait a minute, Jenna..!!”

Jenna and I fell onto the bed at the same time.
