LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 80.9: Black tower, part 3 final
We parted with Francesca and were walking around trying to find a place to stay.
“He had amazing magical power didn’t he.”
I couldn’t tell but according to Toa, Raj was quite strong. Meanwhile Nem had shrunken in on herself and Sufilia appeared normal.
“It seems he was skilled but it’s unfortunate that he escaped. It could be problematic if he attacked again.”
It was then that I noticed that Toa had stopped in front of a large white tent labeled ‘clinic’.
“Whats wrong Toa?”
I was curious, walked back to Toa and looked inside the tent.
“This….”
There were a number of beds that held patients with bandages all over their bodies. Toa covered her mouth with her hand in shock.
“Are you planning to challenge the dungeon as well?”
A large man came out of the tent.
“Yes.”
“In that case, take a good look.”
“What happened to these people?”
“You can tell just by looking can’t you? All of them are idiots who chased after a dream.”
The tent was filled with moans, the end of those who challenged the dungeon.
“These people are the lucky ones, nearly a thousand people have challenged the dungeon already, and these are the ones who returned.”
“What? Only these ones?”
“Right, in the beginning everyone thinks that they’ll be the ones to do it. It’s only afterwards that they all realize their stupidity. They should have thought more about why there hasn’t been any attackers in a hundred years. You guys should think twice about it as well, but I won’t say anymore after this. It’s your responsibility.”
The man who came to stop us was a challenger himself, it was obvious by the bloody bandage on his shoulder accompanied by the missing arm.
“Toa….”
She was trembling, after seeing this it might not be possible for her to enter the dungeon.
“…I’ll go.”
“Toa, you don’t have to force yourself, I can go alone.”
“No, it’s ok. That’s the reason I came with you.”
“That makes it seem like I’m forcing you.”
“Lord Nito, you’re mistaken.”
“Sufilia…..”
“I want to be by your side. I haven’t changed my mind.”
“Nem too! Nems going to go with master.”
“Nem…… OK then I won’t ask anymore, lets go to the dungeon!”

The next day when we returned to the dungeon Francesca was back.
“Nito, are you going to challenge it now?”
“Yes.”
“How are you feeling right now?”
“Excited.”
Francesca looked at our facial expressions and didn’t ask anything else.
“In that case, I’ll be waiting for you to clear it.”
The four of us moved to the entrance and looked at each other’s faces.
“Alright, let’s go……..huh?”
A man came out of the dungeon carrying a woman, they both looked like knights. Although the woman was bleeding. When I tried to pass by them the man called out.
“Wait!”
“Hm?”
“Are you going into the dungeon?”
“That’s right.”
“You should stop, it’s not that kind of challenge.”
The man looked at all four of us confirming our faces.
” For three women and a single man it’ll just be a graveyard.”
“Thats true for those who lose but, it has nothing to do with me..”
Nem gave him her best menacing look.
“And if you’re taunting master, I’ll rip your head off!”
Sufilia spoke up next.
“Why don’t you worry about yourself. Lord Nito is an S rank adventurer.”
“You’re Nito!?”
“Lets go.” Toa said modify.
“Yeah, it’s almost noon.”
“Please wait!”
“Sorry, we can talk after. Why don’t you go get that person treated first?”
“My name is Leonardo! A knight of Dams Ardan. We’ll be seeing eachother again Nito.”
“Will we?”
The moment he knew my name he gave me his, he seems like a good guy.
We entered the dungeon.
“Whats going on?”
The moment we stepped in the scenery changed completely.
“Huh? This place….”
Toa sounds confused.
“Interesting, I’ve never seen a place like this.”
Sufilia was analyzing things calmly.
“This is a dungeon?”
Nem was tilting her head back.
“This…..”
The setting sun, the gate, gym, the building, everything is familiar.
“School.”
The place where I lead a meaningless existence, high-school.
