Soul Academy’s dungeon studies professors were gathering early in the morning at the dungeon monitoring area and drinking tea.

From those who have just become professors to senior professors who have a long career and a high reputation, so they have no reason to come here.

The reason why these people, who would normally have been working with the graduate students themselves, abandoned their work and gathered here was because the effort they put into this dungeon was so great.

From the beginning of the academy’s vacation to now. This dungeon, created by everyone involved in the dungeon department, could truly be called the fruit of hard work.

“It’s nice to see students struggling and struggling, but eventually overcome their difficulties.”

“It’s also quite fun to despair as we intended.”

“I think I understand why Lady Aln enjoyed watching others conquer the dungeon.”

Originally, the dungeon studies professors at the academy were not very happy about creating dungeons for the academy.

Because they were researchers before they were teachers.

Instead of thinking about creating dungeons for others, I chose to think about research to submit to academic conferences and build my own achievements.

It was for this reason that the work of creating the academy’s dungeon was delegated to subordinates.

The reason the professors changed their minds this year was because of the shock brought about by the last dungeon created by Lucy Alln.

The dungeon she created was so neat that it was hard to believe that this was her first time creating a dungeon, and at the same time, it had a freshness that broke away from the existing framework.

That dungeon, which anyone can conquer but not everyone can conquer, caused a great shock not only to Soul Academy but also to the entire dungeon community, and her dungeon was designated as the best dungeon of the year that no one could deny.

The Dungeon Department professors who were watching the scene right next to them realized that they had made a huge mistake.

The purpose of the Dungeon Department is to analyze various dungeons that exist in reality and spread knowledge to those who conquer them.

Receiving academic recognition by creating difficult, complex, and bizarre dungeons is a long way from the origins of dungeon studies.

The professors, who had been going down the wrong path, decided to go back to the beginning and put their efforts into this dungeon.

To teach students how to conquer dungeons.

This is to ensure that anyone who succeeds in clearing this dungeon will not have any difficulties entering any outside dungeon.

And more than anything. To see students screaming in the dungeon they created.

The situation so far was going in the direction the professors intended.

The freshmen were getting used to the dungeon by conquering the dungeon below.

Those who were familiar with dungeon raids were growing by breaking through the gimmick from the 30th floor onwards.

Those with skills were on their way to the top floor as if they were possessed by something.

Lucy Aln, the reason the professors were so focused on creating the Academy Dungeon, was suffering on the 99th floor.

“This dungeon will definitely be well-received, seeing as how even Lady Alne is having fun conquering the dungeon.”

“Except for the academic world, that would be the case. Those in academia will make a fuss, saying that this is a dungeon that can only be created at Soul Academy.”

“Ah. It’s definitely been like that since long ago. There was an uproar, wondering if this was possible because there was a lot of magic power remaining in our academy.”

“It’s really annoying that it’s hard to refute the statement because it’s actually not completely wrong.”

While the dungeon studies professors were chatting while waiting for the dungeon door to open, the junior professors who were originally in charge of surveillance today were breaking into a cold sweat.

Behind them are elders who are like the history of the academy.

The moment they go against their will, those who exist in an ambiguous position in the current power structure are in a situation where they do not know what will happen.

“Oh. Lady Aln has arrived.”

“Yesterday, you got blocked on the 99th floor and got extremely annoyed, right?”

“Haha. Even that young lady with outstanding talent could not have guessed that there would be something prepared just for her.”

“One night has passed, have you noticed anything now?”

Originally, the 99th floor of the Academy Dungeon was opened only when four party members performed certain roles.

It is not about one person’s excellence, but rather that all party members must play their part to overcome the dungeon.

However, that is not the only way.

Dungeon studies professors have created a way to overcome that difficulty alone.

It is much more difficult and complicated than the normal method, but if you want to, you can overcome the dungeon by yourself.

This exception was actually a tribute to one person, Lucy Alln.

The professors’ own repayment for Lucy Alln, who showed them the mistakes of the late and deceased professors and provided inspiration to many professors, and who prevented an accident that would have occurred due to the department’s efforts to create the dungeon. A gift for her who is sincere about creating and conquering dungeons.

The professors, who had been racking their brains for that one exception, were excited when they saw Lucy Alln entering the dungeon.

And I felt regretful. The sight of her going straight into one street proved that she couldn’t find the answer.

“Mmm. Is it still?”

“Although Lady Aln is amazing, she is still a student. It’s hard to notice right away.”

“ Well, it was created by twisted old men in academia.”

“Let’s wait patiently. I am sure you will find the answer soon.”

As she did last night, she entered the dungeon at the end of the street and reached the end of the dungeon in less than 10 minutes, as if she had memorized the inside path perfectly.

Dealing with the dungeon boss was also flawless. Even though she was alone, she was able to accomplish what four people should have done.

While the professors were amazed at the fact that he had become so skilled in just one day, instead of finishing the dungeon boss, Lucy Alln broke the limbs of the boss so that he could not move and poured some liquid into the boss’s mouth.

As Lucy, who had spilled everything in the bottle, was leaving the boss room, the boss inside the room screamed. Only then did the professors realize that Lucy had poisoned the boss.

“Did that person know how to handle Dokdo?”

“What are you trying to do?”

“Well, ”

“It’s the young lady’s action, so it wouldn’t be meaningless.”

“No way.”

“What were you thinking?“Aren’t you trying to time it right and kill the boss in one go?”

The monitoring room became quiet for a moment as a professor spoke.

“Is that possible? Adjusting death time through poison?”

“Of course, I also think it doesn’t make sense, but otherwise, there’s no reason to do that.”

“…but…”

While the professors were perplexed, Lucy Aln entered the next dungeon and quickly conquered the dungeon again, leaving the boss half dead.

The boss in the second dungeon was made of rock, so it was not as susceptible to poison as before.

So Lucy Alln chose something else instead of poison.

bomb.

Lucy took out a bomb from her subspace pocket and placed it nearby. So that it explodes at a certain time.

“Why are you so good at handling explosives?”

“…You are truly a multi-talented person.”

“Is now the time to worry about that?! Isn’t Lady Aln really planning to defeat all four bosses at once!”

It was the commander who greeted her when she arrived at the third dungeon. It is an opponent that cannot be communicated through physical means.

However, the nature of the spirit did not mean much to Lucy. As a paladin who handles divinity, she easily destroyed the spirits and created an area filled with divinity, burning already dead spirits to death again.

Then, just before running to the last dungeon and defeating the boss there, the 99th floor was reset.

The divinity she unleashed was so strong that the third spirit died first.

“Okay. This is ridiculous. How can the moment of death of the four bosses be perfectly coincident?”

The professors breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lucy’s failure.

If Lucy Alln conquers the dungeon in that way, the gift they made for Lucy Alln will be useless.

However, the professors’ relief did not last long. Lucy Aln, who had returned for the first time, began running toward the dungeon again.

“…You’ll give up at some point, right?”

“Don’t worry. Lady Aln herself will soon realize that this is nonsense.”

“That would be good.”

“Even if I don’t give up, there’s no way I can succeed! It’s no use worrying!”

Those who tried to ignore Lucy’s challenge turned their gaze towards the area the other students were targeting.

The first thing that caught my eye was Arthur Solladin’s group who followed Lucy Aln to the very tip of his neck.

The party, made up of some of the most talented students at the academy, was touring the 99th floor and moving toward a normal strategy.

*

Second attempt. An error occurred because the poison initially given was strong.

The dungeon is reset.

Third attempt. The control of divinity failed.

Ouch. The real commander is a bastard. If it’s the one on the 99th floor, it should be a little more sturdy.

The dungeon has been reset.

Fourth attempt.

I defeated the last boss too quickly.

It wasn’t intentional. I never thought I’d stick my head towards Mace!

Isn’t it normal to cherish one’s own life, no matter how perverted you are?

Fifth attempt.

As I was worrying about this and that, the bomb exploded early.

Sixth attempt.

I got a little feverish and couldn’t control my strength. The second boss was smashed.

Seventh. eighth. Ninth.

I kept challenging and challenging again.

A suspicion arose in the back of my mind that it wouldn’t be quick to find the right route at a time like this, but I ignored it.

I’ve already invested so much time into this, but I can’t run away from it! There is such a thing as the pride of rotten water!

‘Don’t hit me with facts! ‘It hurts!’

As I corrected my errors through repeated challenges, I was confident that I would succeed this time as I faced my 30th challenge.

The death times of the first three bosses were perfectly timed.

Now all you have to do is guess the exact time the fourth boss dies!

Let’s go!

To the 100th floor!
