Return by Death?
What a crazy bastard.
I recognized what he was trying to accomplish, but it was too extre.
I really thought I was going to die.
Whats going on, Si-woo? Ha-eun told to co so I did, but you guys started fighting
Seo-ah, who didnt seem to grasp the situation at all, questioned .
Yeah, I should take advantage of this situation. That was probably why he attacked anyway.
You heard the announcent earlier about the chairman looking for .
Yeah.
And you saw that bastard attack , right?
Looking around, everyone had an understanding expression on their face, except for Ha-eun.
In addition, as if being around Ha-eun and Seo-ah was still awkward, Lee Hyun-a looked really uncomfortable.
Why is Lee Hyun the most suspicious?
I said that to gauge their reactions so I could find out who among them was the chairmans daughter.
Between Ha-eun and Lee Hyun-a, it had to be one of them. Soone had hidden the fact that they were the chairmans daughter for over six years. I intentionally ntioned him attacking as a way to test their reactions.
But the issue was that Lee Hyun-as reaction was more suspicious than either Ha-eun or Seo-ahs.
But hes a guy
Seo-ah, you should know that already, but the chairman was doing sothing bad. He attacked because he got scared he might get caught.
The chairman likely intentionally attacked so that I could have an easier ti convincing my comrades.
With his level of power, he likely noticed Ha-eun and the others approaching his office and tid his attack properly, making himself look like a villain.
Pretending to be the bad guy, huh?
To be honest, it was all still a bit suspect. The chairman I knew wouldnt act this way.
I wasnt sure what he had planned, but because he rembered what happened before I regressed, it could be related to that.
Well, since he had set up the board, I just had to make the moves.
I have sothing I need you guys to do.
Slowly, I told them about the dungeon and the information related to it.
***
Of course I can do it, Master!
Um, of course I can. But why is Ha-eun calling Si-woo Master?
Perhaps due to Ha-euns excitent, the rest of the group easily agreed to co along.
Seo-ah only questioned why Ha-eun called Master.
Lee Hyun-a remained discontent.
I have to convince him.
The chairman had said that if anyone went off on their own, they would die.
I wasnt sure if I could believe him, but for now, I didnt have a choice.
Even if I didnt like Lee Hyun-a, we had been comrades for six long years.
Well, theres a way.
Giggling, I thought of a way to force him to co with .
Smiling lightly, I whispered sothing into her ear.
Hey, Lee Hyun-a.
?!
As if surprised, he backed away quickly.
Was hearing his real na that much of a shock for him?
Regardless, I had gotten the response I wanted.
How did you know-?
I have my ways. I dont know why youre hiding it, but thats not important.
What do you want?
Co with us to the dungeon. If you do that, I at least wont make it public.
Are you threatening ?
Thats harsh. Im just making a proposal.
Lee Hyun-a was staring at with disgust.
Whether it was because he didnt want his true na revealed, he agreed to co along
Ha-eun calls Si-woo Master just because of that? Not just anyone, but Ha-eun?
It hurts!! Let go of my cheek!
It doesnt make sense. The Ha-eun I know is so prideful, she would never bow her head to anyone. C-Can you call Master too?
You have to be deserving of that title! Im the Dark Fla Dragon! I wont bow to just anyone!
Is that right?
I looked at Seo-ah and Ha-eun strangely as they continued their loud banter.
***
Classes werent held that day because of an insufficient number of students.
At this rate, they may never hold classes.
The reason the current academy admitted students was to exploit them and take advantage of their resources.
Now, the situation had changed very drastically.
Even that bastard might not be able to find a solution easily. I couldnt be sure, though.
Right now, I had sothing I needed to focus on.
So this is the only thing we have to destroy?
The trap the chairman had told about was the priority.
I dont know what kind of bastard is behind this, but Ill take him alive.
None of the others needed to help .
I will catch whoever is in this dungeon by myself. Ill get as much information as I can out of him and stop anything dangerous from happening in the future.
Doesnt a dungeon like this normally have a boss monster?
Its strange that theres nothing
Sothing definitely feels off.
The chairman must have been telling the truth about this place being a trap. There were many strange aspects to this dungeon.
A normal dungeon would have rooms with normal monsters and a hidden room with the boss.
But in this dungeon, there were no monsters at all.
To be more specific, there was nothing in the places where monsters would normally be.
Ha-eun.
Hmm?
Conserve as much of your mana as possible. If sothing goes wrong, we have to use [Mass Teleportation] to get away.
Because this place likely held a clue about that bastard, I had no intention of turning back.
Until I gained sothing valuable, I would see this expedition to its end.
But the others couldnt follow .
I was confident because of [Magi Manipulation], but because I couldnt guarantee the safety of my comrades, I gave an order to Ha-eun.
Seriously though, theres nothing here.
Due to the lack of monsters, we made it to the boss room with unnatural speed.
A huge door was in front of us, symbolizing the grandiose boss room.
Nothing had happened up until now. I had prepared sothing for the boss, but maybe I wouldnt need it.
-Screech
We pushed the door open.
Si-woo. As soon as we entered, Seo-ah called out to with a surprised expression.
It was natural for her to be surprised.
Th-Thats the dragon from back then.
The dragon that had killed everyone but and died as a result of my final attack.
It seed the hatchling of that dragon was in the room.
Isnt it dead? Can a dungeon boss even die a natural death?
Its dead?
Look! Its not even moving!
Because I assud it was a trap, the dragon I had thought would be alive was not moving at all.
Looking at its corpse, it looked like it was only maintaining its form despite being dead.
What is this?
Even if it was that dragon, I had confidence I would win. Even though I had used a different thod last ti, I had killed it before.
But why is it dead? Is this not the trap?
What was happening?
Sothings wrong.
I couldnt understand it, but sothing felt off.
That dragon and its flock were definitely that bastards henchn and remained by his side.
But why would one be dead?
Did the trap itself get screwed up?
Thinking quickly, I recognized two possibilities.
Firstly, he set up a trap using that corpse, or the trap he had created was destroyed sohow.
Neither possibility was good.
Ha-eun! [Mass Teleportation], now!
Oh dear, I cant let that happen.
At that mont, a girl appeared in front of .
She was smiling brightly, but it was strangely cold.
-Snap!
As soon as she saw Ha-eun attempt to cast her skill, she flicked her finger. With that noise, I could tell sothing had gone wrong.
I cant activate my skill, Master. What should I do?
What?
She was preventing the skill from being cast entirely? I didnt know how she did it, but we couldnt run anymore.
Who are you?
Hey, dont be so cautious. I destroyed all the traps here for you. Shouldnt you be grateful?
I asked you who you are.
It made no sense.
The very fact that she interrupted Ha-euns skill ant she wasnt on our side.
That hurts my feelings, even though its not possible for you to rember right now.
It seed she had no interest in answering, so I used the [Eye of Greed] to look at her status window.

Everything in the status window other than the na was a complete ss, but there was sothing far more surprising than that.
