Episode 148
Akashic Records.
A collection of knowledge that contains all the records of this world. Some of humanity considered the Akashic Records to be nothing but occult, while others believed they existed.
It’s a book found in the tower.
It was thanks to the book commonly called ‘Records of the Tower’.
skill.
characteristic.
monster.
Artifact.
From elemental science, which is difficult even for hunters with doctoral degrees, to all the studies that are the basis for dungeon raids.
It was kindly contained in a book called ‘Records of the Tower’.
people asked
Who compiled this book?
Who knows information that no human being has ever known?
And one of the reasons that came to mind at that time was the Akashic Records theory.
It was a false rumor that the information recorded in the Tower’s records was part of a collection of knowledge called the Akashic Records.
It was not an absurd reasoning.
There were endless references to ‘unknown knowledge’ in various places, from specific dungeons and tower murals.
A treasure trove of knowledge coveted by everyone but never reached by anyone. Undiscovered, many hunters have forgotten about the existence of the Akashic Records. The British Library did not give up.
Among them, Grefon, the first headmaster of the Clock Tower, was the one who craved the most ‘knowledge’.
[We make the Akashic Records.]
[It doesn’t matter if it takes several years.]
[Even if it’s an unreachable destination, we will challenge it.]
Grefon moved busily.
I’ve been collecting books
information was gathered.
Gathered knowledge.
All existing knowledge has been replaced to become unknown knowledge that will reach the root of this world.
Project number 0.
codeN0.Information.Record.
Commonly known as Noah’s Ark.
[Eventually, Britain succeeded.]
[But that’s why this project is a failure.]
[…It’s a contradictory story.]
[This project was so successful that it became a failure.
] implement barriers. Britain succeeded in converting texts with the power of the artifact and dissolving countless amounts of information in the barrier.
But greed was too much.
Like Icarus, who flew towards the sun and eventually crashed. Noah’s ark, which was far too massive for its design, brought despair to all who thirsted for knowledge.
[…Grephon. This challenger also failed.]
[Is it impossible to pass the ordeal?]
Many people, from elites to hunters, entered the barrier, but gave up one after another.
The total number is 500 people.
Project number 0 (zero).
Noah’s Ark was such an abandoned project. Grefon, who became the first principal, established the academy and sealed the barrier in the clock tower.
A scrapped, doomed project that only accumulated old dust and was regarded as just a theory. But after a long time, a challenger appeared.
Aris.
A person who later leaves a new history in the tower with a nickname of a witch.. The
old wooden door creaked open and Aris entered the purple subspace .
No matter what happens inside the barrier, most challengers last 1 minute.
Aris was rich in the infinitely proliferating time and eventually won it.
It completely absorbed all the knowledge contained in the barrier as one’s own.
‘…I’m like that kind of Aris. I respected you. A nice and lonely person. A person with a world of their own. A person who can embrace everyone warmly because he knows the coldness of solitude.’
The loneliness Aris must have felt could only be understood by herself. Lorelai was the only person other than Aris to pass the ordeal.
‘What I experienced in the ordeal was a long and endless loneliness.. Aris-nim is amazing. He endured the pain casually…’
Lorelai opened her closed eyes.
[Role- Villain]
[Mission 1- Activate the prepared golem transformation ceremony to confuse the hunter team.] [
Mission 2- Move to the Yeonseong Fortress installed so that students cannot escape and keep the barrier.]
Someone you respect to fulfill one’s long-cherished wish. I read the hologram in front of me quickly.
‘…The location of the barrier is the rooftop. Looking at the arrangement, it was 11 minutes even if I arrived quickly at my speed. If there is a battle, it will be even longer. On the other hand, the time it takes to activate the compound formula is unconfirmed. But I can rule out a battle.’
Lorelai’s calculations were too fast.
Her judgments were always based on the knowledge she possessed.
‘…Conjugation formula, like an artifact, is a form of mana implementation by movement. It’s a method often used in French hunter supplies.’
For a typical student, it took more than 30 minutes to activate the golem transformation ceremony. Of course, the golem was worth it.
‘… line of defense.’
For the balance of the game, not a single professor was left in the school, but the line of defense remained.
A kind of barricade made from conventional weapons and school supplies.
The golem conversion ceremony was a device prepared to destroy it.
‘Lead the students. The time it takes to defend the defense line is obviously faster than the time it takes to activate the conversion formula. But to teach them detailed combat methods, the time increases exponentially.’
Lorelai was drawing and using her knowledge at breakneck speed.
Calculations too fast.
Lorelai sorted everything out in less than 10 seconds of the match. Now I was thinking about the details of the operation.
‘If you put effort into implementing the Conjugation Ceremony, a strong golem will come out. The opposing team spends a lot of time educating students. The most important role is the student president…. Considering the opportunity cost. Someone has to keep the person in charge of the student council president in check.’
But even Lorelai doesn’t know who was in charge of the student council president.
unknown area.
However, he could guess where the student council president would be.
‘As the entrance is narrow. You can secure an escape route even in the last situation. It would be better to have a space that can accommodate the largest number of people. … The second floor auditorium is certain.’
Without lifting a hand, Lorelai got the answer right.
All that remains is to issue orders.
[Märchen: Second floor of the generator and clock tower. Both of you, please move to the nearest one.]
[CMSebastian ★: Lorelei-sama. Then I’ll move to the generator.]
[Alexander.B: Sebastian, you’re more like a generator, right =o=?]
[CMSebastian★: Sure.]
[Alexander.B: Then I’ll go to the second floor.]
Sebastian goes to the generator. .
Angela to the second floor of the clock tower.
Lorelai tried to think of her opponent’s strategy. But the opponent was mysterious. I could hardly read my mind.
All that remains is to wait for the next situation.
‘If I must knock you down. I’d rather… it would be better if it was me.’
Lorelai made a mischievous expression. He tapped the floor with the heel of his shoe.
Whoaaaaaaa!!
At the same time, golden light rose from the floor and rippled like waves.
Saaaa-!
It wasn’t that fast, but the golden wave led Lorelai like an escalator.
Kwaaang-!
The golden wave broke through the walls and flew through the air. A fantastic scene like a fairy tale. Lorelai looked down at the darkened academy with numb eyes.
‘…then let’s check it out. Your worth.’
* * *
[Shin Yuseong: Eunah. Bring as many people as possible and move to the defense line.]
T-ring!
Kim Eun-ah confirmed the shining message of Shin Yoo-seong with a serious expression.
A story to stop opponents on the defensive line with students. Even after the siege was over, students could be hidden through a nearby air-raid shelter.
However, this was only a story when it was safe to move to the defense line.
The students who were confused by the villain’s attack could hardly be controlled.
“This is not…”
“Let’s scatter. You’d better hide in a closet. It might not be noticed…”
“The place where I sprained my leg just now hurts so much. I think I’m… very hurt.”
From a boy trembling in the corner to a girl holding on to her leg and weeping. Perhaps because of the low level of artificial intelligence, the students doubted whether it would be really helpful.
“Haa, I’m going crazy…”
Kim Eun-ah raised her forehead at the pathetic students’ behavior. Even at this moment, time is running out, but the ‘virtual students’ designed for the test did not know the importance.
‘If it’s a meteor. I must have made these guys follow me right away…’
But Kim Eun-ah is not Shin Yoo-seong.
Even though he has been the class president, he has never shown leadership or charisma.
because it’s strong
Because he is the successor of Shinsung Group.
It was just that Kim Eun-ah was always praised for various reasons.
“Stop talking and pay attention to me!”
Kim Eun-ah screaming out of frustration.
As the eyes of the students gathered, Kim Eun-ah gave the order to the position of the student council president, which was her role.
“Everyone stand up. I’m going to the air-raid shelter from now on.”
“Chairman. What are you talking about. You have to break through the hordes of monsters to get out. Didn’t you see it before?”
When one of the students refuted, Kim Eun-ah frowned and fired up electricity around her.
“So, do you want to wait here and get caught by the villain?”
A kind of warning from Kim Eun-ah.
However, it did not work for students who had already given up.
“…I’d rather be caught by a villain than die by a monster.”
“I don’t want to be eaten by monsters either…”
Kim Eun-ah finally understood why the second round of the national competition was called ‘comprehensive evaluation’.
What was being asked for in the current match was not something like strength as a hunter.
‘What the heck… what do you say to me?’
The content of the game was asking Kim Eun-ah if she could solve this bad condition. It is too difficult for Kim Eun-ah, who has never tried to convince anyone.
“You are…”
Kim Eun-ah, who was about to say something, closed her mouth again. Persuasion is, after all, the process of trying to become someone. If you don’t understand and empathize with the other person’s thoughts, you won’t be able to convince them in the end.
‘…These guys are trembling in fear of having to deal with the villain.’
Of course, the reality of the villain is just a role play by the British party including Lorelai, but it is a vivid reality for the fictional characters.
‘…fear.’
The people gathered here are just students like Kim Eun-ah. I was still immature in terms of skills and mentally, and I wasn’t finished yet.
Kim Eun-ah seemed to vaguely know the fear they felt.
[It must be a bit cruel to the students. Wouldn’t it be better to close your eyes?]
A terrible memory that made Kim Eun-ah have nightmares.
Rebellion’s cheat declared that it would kill the fallen Kim Jun-hyeok in order to raise Kim Eun-ah’s ransom.
I raised my foot high, threatening to stomp on the head and explode it.
Cheet’s electronic laughter was a trauma for Kim Eun-ah for a while.
It wasn’t once or twice that Kim Jun-hyeok, who was running wild even in the middle of the night, and cheat’s feet overlapped and woke up.
[sorry. I don’t negotiate with hostages. Why would a villain be a villain?]
No guilt.
No, rather, a villain who was willing to commit murder as if he were having fun. If it wasn’t for Shin Yoo-seong, he and Kim Jun-hyeok would all be finished. Upon reaching such a thought, Kim Eun-ah’s hands trembled.
“Me too…”
Kim Eun-ah raised her voice. I looked ahead. I didn’t have the leadership and charisma like Shin Yoo-seong, I couldn’t sympathize like Sumire, and I wasn’t talkative like Amy. Kim Eun-ah had a true experience.
“…me too. scared. still.”
Kim Eun-ah’s eyes became clear as she spoke. The auditorium became quiet with just one word, perhaps feeling something.
“still… I’m not going to sit here and tremble.”
If you were your old self, you might have given up like the shivering students.
So I couldn’t blame them.
Because Kim Eun-ah in the past had no goals. There was no prosperity, no sacrifice, no desire to improve.
I just went to the academy for fun or because I was pushed because I had talent.
But now it was different.
There were things I wanted to protect, a goal I wanted to make Shin Yoo-seong win, and a desire to improve.
Kim Eun-ah wanted to remain as a member of Shin Yoo-seong’s party, not as the class president of Class A or the successor to Shin Sung Group.
“I will go alone. … Even if it means being eaten by a monster like you said. I will not give up before I even start.”
If they can’t be persuaded, this is the best. The moment Kim Eun-ah, devastated, was walking toward the exit.
The winds of change blew.
