Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter. 10

Underground waterway

Late April.

By the time the flowers were full, one by one.

Ferda pours her coffee in the warm sun. An aroma that calms the mind. With a pleasant smile, I looked up.

It's been a month since I joined the Earl of Archdute.

In the meantime, a lot has changed.

Linc!

"Ha, I surrender."

The blade falls to its knees.

What's in front of the seeds is nothing but reality. The seeds tremble in his expressionless eyes. This board will foam and faint if you leave it alone.

"Duel is over!"

Fortunately, the knight I was watching interrupted in time. In fact, I took my eyes off the acolyte as if it were when.

"You're amazing. You've done well."

The knight expressed his honest admiration.

However, there was no change in his expression. It's just a slight nod. The shrugged knight scratches his head and casts a tantrum at the loving acolytes.

"Today's training ends here. What are you doing in there? Stop fooling around and get your gear organized!"

The acolytes move swiftly in an unprecedented disobedience.

In fact, he leaves them behind and heads towards the shade of the tree. It was where Ferda was.

Meanwhile, Ferda, who was sipping coffee, was also aware of the practical approach. As I looked up at him, I suddenly asked him a question.

"Is it good?"

"You can't eat without it."

I enjoyed drinking on Earth.

When I lifted my coffee cup and smiled, the reality was that my eyes sparkled.

A curious eye.

"I want to drink it, too."

"No. I'm not that tall."

"Chi, what about Ferda?"

"I'm all grown up, so I'm fine."

End of the damn conversation.

Ferda pours half the cold coffee into her mouth.

Meanwhile, he approached and sat down. Then he looks up at Ferda, keeping his mouth closed. It's like he wants something.

Ferda smiles as she sees this. Because I knew what he wanted.

So I immediately tapped his shoulder.

"Well done. You've gotten pretty good at it."

"Heehee."

In fact, he only looked satisfied.

When I saw that face, I also smiled at Ferda's mouth.

Did I mention a lot has changed since I came to the Earl? Then, the biggest change was the reality.

We've been growing more and more these days.

‘I'm used to using the matter. ’

Now you seem to have mastered the principle of action. I've used it on the acolytes before.

And one more thing. I haven't lost a battle in a while. I won even when I didn't write anything. The reason was simple.

‘A commander's shot. ’

No matter how much he suppressed his musical notes with the Moon's eyes, he was a mythical commander. When you're slamming into swords or fighting each other, you're unconsciously exposed to notes.

This is just a small amount of phonograph sound, but it can still make the target move slower or shrink.

How much more of a rival to the real world?

Enough to create a breach.

‘And swordsmanship. ’

Regrettably, there were no more rats.

You're not as talented at swordsmanship as I am.

This will never change. I even taught Yoo Baek Hyun, called Sword Sword, and I threw it away several times.

Then Ferda raises her head. It's because the noisy surroundings have quietly changed.

A training ground with no one. Looks like they've all gone back.

"Shall we go back?"

"Let's get you cleaned up and fed."

A smile on the belly to see if you're hungry.

I've only fought three times today, so I'm probably hungry. I think it's better to eat a lot since I'm growing up.

"But Ferda."

"Huh?"

"Are we going there again today?"

Ferda stopped walking. I realized what "there" meant.

He looks around for a moment, then nods.

"Of course. Why? Do you want to rest today?"

"No, I think I'd better pack a lunch if I'm going."

"Well, that, too."

Eating in a mansion costs me surprisingly much time. Ferda takes a moment to consider the decision.

"Well, should I ask Aaron to pack a lunch?"

"Yes! Lots of duck meat!"

I smiled brightly.

* * *

There is a circulation in the basement of the arcade backwriting.

This is where waste water used in the castle is collected and flowed. If you go further down from here, you'll find one with old groundwater.

The area that was closed down over a hundred years ago. The only people who know the existence of this place are the steward family and the archduke who have served the Earl for generations.

But now there are four more who know this place.

Added Ferda and some real estate.

Overwhelmed

A smelly passageway. Right next to you is a swamp of rotten water. As you hear the rats crawl, Ferda and Silvan move on.

"Ugh, my nose is always going to rot in here."

He mutters, his nose stuffed.

Much better compared to when I first came. At that time, I tried to run away without looking back, scared to put my foot in here.

"But there's no better place to train than here."

"Yes, but · · · · · · · · ·."

All commanders living in this age hide in the grave. The power to deal with the dead is enough to buy people's refusal.

In other words, you have to do it in a place where no one else can. That's why Ferda chose this as her training ground.

There was another reason for choosing this place.

‘This place is full of musicals. ’

Is it because it doesn't reach a handful of sunlight?

This place was poisonous to Manas in the negative dimension. Much more than the cemetery near the mansion.

So I chose this place.

‘Thanks to you, I know a good place. ’

The first person to discover a closed groundwater tunnel was Season 5's actual arcade.

The thread that stole the moon's eyes stumbled upon this place while avoiding the relentless pursuit of the Holy Land. And here, after a full night of nursing, he left the erl again.

‘This place will be a foothold now. ’

I became a refuge in Season 5, but not this time.

Training in the Closed Underground Waterway will make your realm a more powerful commander. Whatever happens, I will make it so.

‘Strong enough that no one can ignore. ’

Even if the target is the Holy Spirit, it can never be ignored.

Ferda raises her head again.

Ujik

Then I suddenly stopped walking.

As you lift up the lantern to light up the darkness in the underground waterway, you see something strange.

The faint things that wander around in real life. It was ghosts.

"In fact."

"Huh?"

"Those ghosts must really like you."

Ferda stops walking with a wad of string.

Then he scratched his cheek with a shrugged face.

"Uh-huh. Said I didn't have to come, but I had to."

With his reply, the ghosts roam around him as if dancing.

"It smells a little dangerous in here."

"Dangerous odor?"

"Yeah, I don't know, but that's what he said."

This place is overflowing with Mana in negative dimensions. I thought you were following me out of excitement, but you smell dangerous?

Ferda looks around curiously.

Silent groundwater. I can't feel a thing. Rats are all over the place at best.

Eventually, Ferda turned her attention away. Instead, you turn your head back to reality.

"By the way, there are three ghosts next to you, right?"

"Huh? Can you see it from Ferda?"

Surprised to ask.

Ferda shakes her head.

"No, I'm not familiar with commandos."

It's true. The ghosts seemed to him to be nothing more than faint smoke.

‘However · · · · · · · · ·. ’

I can see you're a lot taller than the rest of the crew. The three spirits were emitting a strong presence. At least this much of a hero's brawl.

‘· · · · · · You don't look harmful yet. ’

What if I touch one fingertip of a thread?

I'll take care of it right away. As a teacher, we can't let our students get in danger.

Ferda's eyes subside cold.

Then, suddenly, I heard a real voice.

"Heehee, then let me explain. Here's what they look like."

In reality, the voice of God filled my mouth with the appearance of ghosts.

From ghosts that look like heavily armed knights to moaning ghosts with seven eyes to ghosts with sharp thorns like night owls.

None of them look normal. But it seemed like fun. When Ferda laughed in her mind, the explanation was finished.

"But I don't feel comfortable calling her by her name."

That's right. You can't call it a spike just because you have a spike. However, the name I could not believe came out of my mouth.

"So from now on, we decided to call it the Dagger, the Fountain, the Pointy."

"· · · · · · Wouldn't ghosts be angry if you called them that?"

Nomenclature is a ghost with the temperament of a hero.

I think I'd be angry if I called him that.

"Hmm, is that so?"

It makes sense to listen to Ferda. In reality, I turned my head. It was to ask for the opinions of ghosts. But the ghosts responded quicker than that.

[I am Dandan from now on.]

[Tear. I love it!]

[Please call me sharp from now on.]

The three spirits gathered their mouths without anyone having to say anything first. He tilted his head.

"You look very satisfied."

"Haha, no way."

You got to be kidding me.

Ferda smiles in relief.

As I was walking along talking about ghosts, I stopped walking again.

"Let's see. You've done this before, right?"

"Yes, so do ghosts."

The epicenter of the underground waterway is where they arrived.

It was also the place where the negative dimensions of Mana converged the most. Ferda arrives at her destination and drops her backpack.

Then he turned around and opened his mouth.

"Wait here for a moment."

A firm pat on the back of the trunk.

He turns away soon.

"I'll get the materials for the class."

I lightly loosened my body with the words.

It is the most abundant creature in the underground water supply. It's a rat.

Chop, chop!

The screams of rats everywhere.

The reason for choosing rats as ingredients was simple. I can catch it without all the hard work. And one more thing.

If a corpse is used as a material. ’

There are two problems.

First of all, it's not easy to get and then it's hard to get. The next problem is the mentality of reality. Even as a commander, he is still a thirteen year old boy. That's why you might feel reluctant to handle a human corpse.

‘So that's it for now. ’

I picked up the trunk of a dead mouse.

A short time later, a total of fifteen dead bodies gathered together.

Tuk

Throw the body to the ground.

Ferda looks back and opens her mouth.
