I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

86.Survival Rule #4: Escape Is an Important Matter (4)

“Oh, Academy? “I heard wrong, right?”

Sif, who was chewing, tearing, tasting, and enjoying the steak I bought, perked up her ears and asked me. I answered after chewing my share of steak and swallowing it.

“What you heard is correct.

“Can someone like me come in?”

“I have been delegated full authority in this matter, so it’s okay.”

“Well, I see…”

Sif looked down at her plate with an emotional expression on her face. It’s a strange face. Was there any setting that Sif wanted to go to the academy?

I don’t remember very well.

In the first place, Sif was a kind of NPC close to Easter, so he never had much interest in it. He wasn’t even a heroine, especially since he was an hostile monster if he didn’t go on the quest.

“Did you want to attend Calon Academy?”

Sif glared at my question as if asking something obvious and opened her cat’s mouth to answer.

“There is no one who doesn’t want to attend Kalon Academy! As long as you graduate, you are guaranteed a career path, at least as a tutor to a noble family!”

That’s the reason why it’s down. I looked at the money-mad cat Suin for a moment, then turned my attention to the scene outside the window. Students in school uniforms and people in armor. Ordinary people mixed in between.

It is truly a peaceful sight.

How great it would have been to be able to live in such a peaceful landscape.

Find a decent place to live, work, eat delicious meals with the money you earn, find a lover…

If I hadn’t been possessed, this would have been the future that would have unfolded for me. But for me now, it is out of the question. Because I know that this peace will slowly fall apart.

People dying without even being able to resist. Monsters trampling the city. People gathered in the academy, the last bastion, preparing for the last resistance.

Bad ending.

I know the end of this world.

Therefore, I do not have the option of abandoning everything and hiding. In the end, I too will be swept away by the apocalypse. In order to survive, I have to mobilize all the knowledge I have and struggle.

Main quest.

Sub quest.

Information about the dungeon.

And…

“John? John! Are you listening to me?”

A loud voice rang in my ears, so I turned my gaze to look at Sif. Before I knew it, Sif had emptied her plate neatly, looked at me worriedly, and asked.

“Where does it hurt?”

“I just had something to think about for a moment.”

“Oh yeah? Then… Can I order one more bowl?”

Sif looked up at me with her eyes raised, as if trying to be charming. Blatant cuteness, you think I would fall for something like that.

“…Okay, order one more.”

“Wow!”

———————-

“Uh, me, me?”

A few hours after hiring Sif. I arrived at the lab.

I talked to Professor Lennon in advance, so all I have to do is convince Elisa. I knocked on the lab door and shouted.

“Professor! It’s me, John!”

“Come in!”

As soon as permission is given, I grab the doorknob and turn it. I entered the lab and looked at Elisa, who was helping Professor Lennon. When Elisa made eye contact with me, she flinched and avoided my gaze.

In many ways, this is a huge step forward.

I even fainted at first.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

I grabbed the hand of the professor who came up to me and asked for a handshake and shook it.

“I got by just fine.”

“Thank goodness.”

“Then, just like I said last time…”

“Elisa. “Why don’t you come this way?”

“Yes, yes?”

“Yeomyeonggwan wants to hire you.”

“Um, me?”

“I heard you are good at studying.”

“Ha, but there are many people other than me who are good at it…”

“We need you.”

According to Professor Lennon’s slightly favoritistic praise, his grades were excellent enough to be in second place, and his knowledge of Haeju was quite solid as expected of a top student, so it was decided that it was worth entrusting him with administrative duties. .

Of course, I also tried to build friendships because of my quest.

It’s relatively easy to build friendships when you’re nearby.

“Uh, uh… But… Something like that…”

Elisa hesitated, looking back and forth between me and Professor Lennon. Does Professor Lennon want to say something?

That would be of no use.

“Elisa. This is a great opportunity. It is a rare opportunity to work at Yeomyeonggwan. “I would like to work on your social skills at this time.”

“Well, but…I…”

“I know that you are a descendant of a witch.”

“Huh?!”

I waited for Elisa, who had gone into vibrate mode like a cell phone, to calm down. The fact that he was even breaking out in a cold sweat seemed quite shocking to me that he knew my identity.

“What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? “What should I do?”

A secret that no one knew except Professor Lennon. Oh, is there one more Karina?

Anyway, I put my hand on her shoulder and tried to persuade her in the sweetest voice I could.

“Do not worry. Didn’t Karina say that? Just because she is born with it, she cannot speak for him. Remember those words. We don’t care where you come from.”

…I’m not sure about Lenny. Karina is going there anyway! If you just shout once, she will agree.

The fact that it is a carina flower is so useful.

Anyway, the descendant of a witch with a pale complexion looked up at me with her trembling eyes. She cowered like a scared rabbit and made eye contact with me. A further enhanced insight assessed her condition.

Fear, confusion, despair.

An overly negative emotion appeared on her face.

“Lisa. Don’t worry too much. These people are good people. Haven’t you met him too?”

Fortunately, Professor Lennon, who had been observing the situation, stepped forward to break this sluggish situation. It was only natural since the two of us had been talking about it from the beginning.

Professor Lennon is like Elisa’s father her her her, and he cannot let her, who is like her her daughter her her her, live alone all her life her her her. Since Professor Lennon can’t take care of her forever, the plan is to leave her trusty care to us.

Our interests aligned with our need for manpower to assist Lennie’s work

“B-but…”

“You can’t live alone forever.” “Honey.”

“Well, something like me… How…”

“Lisa. You are a good boy “Don’t be too discouraged just because of someone from that background.”

Elisa nodded her head at her professor’s persuasion. She seemed reluctant, but she wanted permission anyway. I got up and prepared to leave.

“Well, then, I’ll pack my bags… “

“I get it. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Gwae, it’s okay!”

Then, let’s wait leisurely. I looked at her as she hurriedly disappeared out of the lab, then looked at Professor Lennon, who was sighing and wiping his beard, and asked.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. That child cannot live under my protection forever.”

I guess so.

I looked at the wrinkles on Professor Lennon’s face. An age where it is not strange to retire. As the world is a world, you cannot continue to care for her even if she is like your daughter at an age where you don’t know when she will die.

So you can trust and leave it to us. We leave it to us who don’t care even if we know our origins. It was probably the best option among the options he could have come up with.

“Lord, I’m ready…”

It’s faster than I thought. I looked at Professor Lennon when I heard a voice coming from beyond the door. When I was about to leave, he held my hand and spoke to me in a low voice.

“Please take care of me.”

“I understand.”

I left the lab, leaving Professor Lennon behind. When I opened the lab door and went out, I saw Elisa looking startled next to the door.

“…Uh…”

“I will drag the suitcase.”

“B-but…”

“It’s okay.”

I took the suitcase, which I didn’t know what was inside, from Elisa and quickened my pace. Because hiring Sif and getting Elisa a job at the Ryomyeonggwan was not the end of the job.

“I feel like the number of women is increasing…”

“Yes, yes?”

“It’s nothing.”

————————-

“Sif.”

“One!”

“Milia.”

“Douul!”

I looked down at my men wearing hard hats that I had made myself.

Sif. In charge of transportation. Pull a cart and carry the materials needed for passage ground construction.

Millia. In charge of meals. I carry breakfast, lunch and dinner on a kickboard.

Me. In charge of shoveling. Drill a passage.

It’s a neat combination.

“John John! Is there anything else to do besides delivering meals?”

“If you’re bored, let Sif help you.”

“John! Can I touch your tail?”

“No!”

“It is possible.”

Milia’s face was truly colorful as she went back and forth between sadness and joy. Sif, on the other hand, freaked out and hid her tail, but unfortunately, she doesn’t have the right to veto.

“It’s my tail!”

“Who is your employer?”

“…Do whatever you want.”

“Hi-Hi. Then I’ll touch it!”

“Three, don’t hold it too hard. Okay?”

Nyang!

I’ll leave the two of them to play on their own and I’ll get to work.

I took out the map delivered by the academy from my pocket and unfolded it. A design had to be done before full-scale construction began. It wasn’t a small-scale passage, and creating a passage that could accommodate dozens of people required elaborate work.

I drew a rough line on the map with the pen I brought with me. Naturally, it was an indication of the location where the passage would be built. Since some faculties had underground floors, the location of emergency passageways had to be determined taking that into account. Having to consider the dungeon in the basement of the academy was also quite a nuisance.

The map, which started with lines drawn one by one, soon became a mess of black lines.

It may be difficult for others to recognize me, but I just need to recognize myself anyway.

After all, I am the only person doing the construction.

Let’s organize the plan.

First, create passageways leading to each department and create shelters in between.

The only things to put in the shelter are first aid kit and preserved food. This is the Academy’s job to handle, so let’s move on…

What is important is a structure that can survive underground for some time even if the academy is destroyed. I came up with a rough estimate, remembering the shelters and tunnels I had built so far.

That was when I was thinking about it. A familiar scream was heard from behind.

“It tickles! Stop touching me! John! “Please stop me!”

Does Millia like Sif more than I thought? I spoke to Sif, who was horrified.

“I will give you one gold coin as a bonus.”

“Hehe, John is the best!”

“Don’t hold on too hard! Nyang!”

After all, it’s easy to handle a baby.

I smiled at the brightening mood with one gold coin and grabbed the shovel.

Well then, let’s get started.
