I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

90.Dancing With Witches (3)

I looked at Elisa, hearing this information for the first time. Seeing Elisa shaking her body as she looked at me, I was convinced that she was hiding the fact that this was actually a group project.

“Did you say it was a group task? “Is that true?”

“That’s right… Dungeon exploration assignments are basically group assignments! No matter how easy a dungeon is, unexpected situations can occur! Oh hohoho!”

I think he just saw my face and got scared. Still, I was secretly impressed by the way his expression quickly returned to its original expression, perhaps due to the pride of an aristocrat. When you become a noble, you should be able to easily manage your facial expressions.

“Who is that man over there? “May I ask you to introduce yourself?”

I answered a question from a female student who seemed to be a noblewoman with a moderate amount of lies.

“Johan Quartz. It’s an article. And he was a former adventurer. “I came to help with an assignment requested by Elisha.”

“Kisashi…?”

A suspicious gaze met mine. Although the female student immediately looked away, it seemed that she had not yet let go of her suspicions.

“Would you believe this?”

I showed the pendant in my arms that proved I was a knight. Only then did the suspicious gaze of the unknown female student disappear.

“I’m glad you’re a driver. I thought Miss Elissa had hired a reckless adventurer who hangs around the tavern…”

I have a scary appearance. I was calm because it was a fact I also acknowledged. Really.

By the way, at first I thought she was just a typical annoying noble girl, but it was a strange feeling to hear that she was genuinely worried about Elisa from the way she spoke. To put it bluntly, the person himself seemed to be a good person.

Unlike before, the female student offered me an apology with a polite gesture.

“I apologize for my rudeness.”

“No. “I’ve been misunderstood a lot, so it’s okay.”

“I was so surprised that Miss Elisa brought someone with her that I was rude without even realizing it…”

It’s ridiculous that I can understand it.

Elisa’s endless outsider nature seemed to be famous even among students. Of course, since we took the class together, we had no choice but to know.

“Miss Elise.”

“Yes, yes?”

Elisa looked at her nameless female student, cowering as if she were a student who had been bullied at school. The girl had a gentle smile, but she spoke in a stern voice.

“It is not good to say that you will do group work alone. You need to develop sociability. Did you know?”

“Yeah, but, everyone else hates me-“

“At least if you had told me, I would have put you in my group. Do you know how embarrassed I was when I found out later?”

“Uh, that’s-“

“Making excuses is a bad habit. Ellie specifications. How long are you going to do that? Last time I-“

“Just get there for now. Isn’t your friend waiting for you?”

I spoke while peeking behind the girl at the group of students who were watching her. After hearing what I said, the female student looked up at me and opened her mouth.

“Oh, I got so excited. I apologize again. Well then, I will go since my group is waiting for me. I hope you have a good time exploring, too! Please also ask Sir John to help Miss Elisa complete her task safely!”

The unknown female student soon disappeared into the crowd.

“…I don’t know who he is, but he’s steady.”

“I can’t deny it.”

“M-Martina, she is very popular because she takes care of people well… “

It’s wide… It was an appropriate evaluation. Just by looking at what he was saying, I could see that he was the type of person who took good care of those around him. But even if someone like that sticks around, he can’t break through Elisa’s killing power. In fact, just because one person takes care of it alone, the perception of others will not change.

Well, that’s not what’s important right now.

“Elisa. “I think we need to talk.”

—————————–

I organized Elisa’s explanation step by step in my head, speaking like an X-tube video that stuttered due to a weak signal.

“…So, there are a lot of guys in the same department who don’t like you, and you can’t talk like you do, so you’re in an isolated situation. Everyone is reluctant to put you in a group for this assignment, so you have no choice but to do it alone. Is that right?”

“People were looking at me with scary eyes… And then, when they found out…”

“Ugh, it’s frustrating.”

Sif expressed my feelings exactly.

At this rate, I think I’ll be accused of being a witch even if I don’t do anything. It already has a strong gloomy atmosphere, but even its personality is gloomy. What should we do with this female student who is a great character…No, she is the very example of Asa.

However, it is not an area that I can jump into and solve.

Because I’m not a fellow student, I’m just a co-worker.

It might be helpful to add milia to improve your communication skills a little bit. Milia was a person with the ability to quickly become friendly with and chat with passing students.

…Well, let’s go through the dungeon first and think about it.

It took longer than expected.

“Elisa. Sif. “Let’s finish the assignment first and think about this.”

“Okay. Then where do we go?”

Sif quickly took in my words and asked. Her question briefly reminded me of the dungeons around here. I don’t remember everything, but there must be a few more dungeons that haven’t been touched yet.

“Follow me. There is a dungeon that no one knows about. If you explore unexplored dungeons, you will get good grades.”

“If it’s an unexplored dungeon, you can get a reward from the dungeon exploration guild, right? “Even though you found something like that, you didn’t report it?”

“Even if you do, it is more efficient to shake everything off before doing it.”

Normal people wouldn’t want to risk their lives, but that doesn’t apply to me.

To put it bluntly, you can just dig through all the troublesome sections and skip them, but there’s no need to tell others. Even if it’s not a trick that works in all dungeons, it’s probably no different from a cheat in the dungeons around here.

“John! I think 20% is okay!”

“…Are you just thinking about getting a reward?”

“But there has to be a reward for entering the dungeon! The more money the better! So, huh? Just give me 20%~ I do all the scouting!”

It wasn’t wrong, I raised my eyes and squeezed the top of Sif’s head as she fawned over me. Why is it so tight in my hand? If this continues, I think I’ll become addicted to hitting the top of Sif’s head.

“Nyaan! Why did you hit me?!”

“Because that’s where the head is.”

“Don’t hit people on the head with that stupid big fist!”

Speaking of an ignorant fist, there is no other fist as intelligent as me. When I raised my fist, Sif got scared and hid behind Elisa.

“…I won’t hit you, so don’t hide behind Elisha. “Can’t you see I’m scared?”

“Really?”

“It’s true.”

“You promised?”

Only then did Sif leave poor Elisa behind and return to my side her her her her. Elisa sighed in relief and followed behind us. This is why the picture is so strange.

I recalled what happened last time and spoke to Sif.

“Sif. Torn on both sides. Implementation.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t you think the picture is strange now?”

“Painting? What picture… Ah. Okay.”

Sif saw my glance and slowed down to sit on either side of Elisa. As we took our seats on either side of Elisa, she panicked and tried to pull away from her again. But there’s no way we’ll let that happen. Sif took Elisha’s hand and encouraged her in her soft voice.

“Come on, you’re our colleagues, right? Colleagues walk side by side. Like this.”

“Do, do, do, do, colleague?”

“Right. There is no need for us to be afraid. Do we look like people who will harm you?”

“Oh, no…”

“If anything happens, I will protect you, so don’t worry.”

I was unconsciously trying to pat Elisa’s head like Millia, but then stopped. I heard that women usually don’t like having their hair touched, so it would be a bit like that. That was the moment I thought about it and was about to withdraw my hand.

“Ah…”

A clearly regretful sound came out of Elisa’s mouth. Elisa, who made the noise, must have been startled, and she blushed and lowered her head, not knowing what to do. When Sif saw that, she looked at me and noticed.

Are there drugs coming out of my hands? I gently stroked Elisa’s head like I was stroking a puppy. Hair as soft as silk slid across my palm

“Are you secretly good at seducing women?”

Before I knew it, Sif had moved across from me, nudging my side with his elbow and whispering in my ear.

Should I hit him with one? No. I promised you earlier, so I can’t do that.

“Stop talking nonsense. “Let’s get to the dungeon quickly.”

We walked toward the dungeon, moving our feet diligently.

————–

“There’s a dungeon here? “There’s nothing?”

“Look carefully.”

I took out the shovel I was carrying on my back. Just in case, the blade of the shovel was covered with leather. When I peeled off the skin, my shovel blade revealed its beauty.

Naturally, Sif, who is obsessed with money, saw my shovel and reacted.

“Could it be that mithril was coated on the blade of the shovel?”

“That is the correct answer.”

“Where did they find a craftsman to handle Mithril?”

“I did it myself.”

“What? Directly? Even the most skilled craftsmen have a hard time handling mithril, so you did it yourself? “You’re kidding, right?”

A familiar look of distrust. I looked back at him and asked back.

“Does this look like a joke?”

Hydra bones alone are not as good a material as mithril, but they are just a lower level material. Coating the shovel blade with mithril was not that difficult. Anyway, all I had to do was melt it and coat it.

“Wouldn’t it be possible to make all the money in the world if I just became a blacksmith? If you are a blacksmith who can handle mithril, even the imperial family would hire you?”

“It’s not that bad. Rather, I will open a dungeon, so step back.”

At my words, both Elisa and Sif took a step back.

I put the shovel in the ground, relying on my vague memory. I don’t remember the exact location, but if you dig up this entire area, you will see the entrance to the dungeon buried in the ground. I started digging through the ground at a breakneck speed like an excavator.

Fortunately, after digging for about 5 minutes, the entrance to the dungeon appeared.

“Wow, someone would think I was selling a lake…”

“Wow, that’s amazing…”

I used the skill while wiping the sweat from my forehead.

“Production.”

The dirt that had been piled up in one place shrinks and fills the floor. And earthen stairs were built around the entrance to the dungeon.

I am proud to see that a place that looks like a construction site has suddenly become a believable dungeon entrance.

Construction is done for this taste.

“I’m going in. “Follow me while being careful not to fall.”

I turned on the lamp that was hanging on my backpack.
