Chapter 36
It was very cluttered outside.
“Uh-huh.”
“My arm… my arm doesn’t move.”
Near the entrance of the magic dungeon, there were a lot of injured people.
Even the instructors composed of active-duty veterans up to the intermediate level suffered major and minor injuries.
Healers roamed around without hesitation, treating the wounded.
It’s a similar situation to the original work, but seeing it in real life, it feels more vivid.
“·················ogue.”
Perhaps all the students have yet to escape from the dungeon, which is a far cry from the total number of first-year students of 200.
My eyes quickly began to search for Noctar and his orc friends.
‘There were no deaths in this work.’
However, unlike this work, the types of monsters that appeared in the dungeon were different.
Besides, the instructors came late to rescue the students, so it’s hard to say.
It shouldn’t be a big deal.
“ah.”

Fortunately, Noctar and Orc motives were found. They sat quietly under a large tree, waiting for treatment.
There were large wounds on his body, but that wasn’t enough to stop the orcs’ gazing.
I approached them.
“Have you also met a bunch of Cockatrice?”
“Uh. A bird-headed monster like that could have been wiped out if only a good weapon was… It’s a pity.”
Noctar said indifferently.
But for that, he was seriously injured.
He broke his left arm and seems to have broken a few ribs as well.
I said sarcastically.
“This is not the time to brag, Noctar.”
“…Actually, I almost died. Andrew, if it wasn’t for that wizard friend, I’d be dead.”
“Right······.”
While talking to Noctar and his orc classmates, Chief Professor Locke appeared.
He usually has a serious expression, but now he is not serious and is bloody.
Locke clapped his hands, then said.
“It must be very confusing, but we will conduct an interview to find out what happened inside the magic dungeon. If you call in a little while, come to the private interview room. Oh, and classes are closed until we understand this.”
Despite hearing the good news that the class was canceled, none of the students were happy.
Not to mention, most of the students were on the verge of dying a little while ago.
All but the Nike team, the Phil team, and our team probably all went to the threshold of death.
‘Fortunately, this is the same flow as the main work.’
I looked around again.
Nike and PHL team can be seen.
Again, it seems to be in good condition.
After another 30 minutes or so, an instructor called the students by name one after the other.
All the students answered.
‘As expected, there are no fatalities.’
In the midst of spending time with Orc friends other than Noktar.
“Student Theo. This is a call from the head instructor.”
I had an interview with Chief Bald Professor Locke, not just an instructor.
…In this work, Locke had an interview with Nike.
why me
Leaving behind the students who looked at me with surprised eyes, I headed to the private interview room with Locke.

More than four hours have passed since the in-depth discussion disguised as an interview with Locke.
Suddenly, it was past 4 PM.
“Then let’s get to this point today. It was a very beneficial time, Theo.”
Locke showed more interest in me than I expected.
In this work, Nike ended the interview in less than 10 minutes.
I took Locke’s hand, who was asking for a handshake.
“Yeah. It was a good time for me too, head professor. Let’s go in then.”
“Yeah, go in carefully.”
Locke nodded, seemingly satisfied.
By the way, that bald man is really classy.
Obviously, that gentleman also has something to hide.
I don’t know if it will appear in this work, but it feels like it’s at least the youngest son of a high-ranking aristocrat.
‘By the way, I have to rest today.’
I am tired both physically and mentally.
With that in mind, I left the private interview room.
After that, I straightened the collar of the shirt and started to refine the overall look.
By now, the interview with the students who were called later would have been almost over.
“Woo…”
After taking a deep breath, I remembered the biggest problem I had ever faced.
‘Sienna showed interest in me.’
I want to deny it, but no matter how much I think about it, this is a fact.
Although she is popular because she is an elf princess who is more beautiful than any other creature in the world, she is not easily interested in others.
So even though the first semester has passed, she doesn’t even know the names of most of her classmates.
Sienna showed an open interest in me.
In this work, she shows an outright obsession with subjects of interest.
Would you say it’s like a bumper car that hits everything without seeing anything?
‘I don’t know why she cares about me,’
I remember what Siena said to Neike when she was in her second year in this work.
—Fufu, Neike. You are the hero I have dreamed of since I was a child.
Sienna superimposed on Nike the figure of the main character in the novel she saw as a child.
I know the story of the novel.
The protagonist of the novel is, like the main character, Munchkin.
He is a true warrior who, along with his team, cut down the devil’s hair.
Theo is the opposite.
‘I don’t know why…’
My only goal is to graduate from the Faculty of Heroes with excellent grades.
I have neither time nor thought to play with Siena.
I’m not a hogu like Nike.
‘Let’s think about how to respond.’
It’s hard to just take it apart.
The present Siena would have become a woman who could not be seen.
‘Then…’
I’m thinking of going outside.
“Fufu, Theo.”
Sienna from another private interview room pretended to know.
“·················ogue.”
Even a tiger will come when I say it.
* * *
“Then… you mean Student Theo was in charge of both teams?”
The instructor asked several times.
“Yeah. Without him, we’d all be dead sooner.”
Sienna answered without hesitation.
“Okay, so today’s interview ends here. If there’s anything you need, I can call you again.”
“Yeah. Then can I just go? I’m busy.”
The instructor nodded at Siena’s urgent voice.
“···okay.”
profit-
Sienna immediately left the private interview room.
Because Theo, who was interviewing the head professor in the room next to her, had left the room, and the spirit had informed him.
As the spirit said, there was Theo outside.
Siena pretended to be an accidental meeting and greeted him with a smile.
“·············”.
Theo, however, had a dissatisfied expression on her face.
It was likely to get hurt, but Sienna wasn’t sad.
‘I finally found my hero, and that’s about it. If it’s too easy, it’s not fun.’
Theo is the lumber of the hero that she has dreamed of for 150 years.
Sienna recalled what happened in the dungeon.
Theo calmed down as the others trembled in fear of death.
Not only that, he encouraged other team members to overcome the crisis.
‘He also refused my help.’
When I saw it, I felt bliss.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that I had finally found the hero of my dreams.
Then Theo.
He was a warrior in the true sense of the word.
‘Well, the force seems to be a little lacking.’
That is something you can keep growing.
Even after graduating from the academy, if you feel inadequate, you will be taken to the Great Forest.
In the Great Forest, there are elves who have practiced martial arts for hundreds of years. They are walls that humans can never cross.
“Heh heh.”
Sienna looked at Theo and hummed.
Siena now enjoyed it as much as the day she first read The Los Dos Biography.
Ross Dos Electric.
This is the novel that made him run out of the great forest.
She read the novel every day for over 10 years. I almost memorize the contents.
It was not a small amount, reaching a total of 5 volumes, but she was an elf. Time rotted away. I was immersed in the novel all day long.
All of a sudden, Sienna had a pure wish to become the female protagonist and general ade of ‘Los Dos Biography’, and to become ‘Lily’ who raised the main character, Ros Dos, to become the best warrior on the continent.
‘Lily’ was also an elf like her.
The main character, Ross Dos, always relied on and trusted.
‘What kind of feelings did Lily really have?’
boy to man.
A man as the continent’s greatest hero.
How rewarding was the process of crafting gemstones into jewelry?
So Siena was admitted to Elinia, the best among the warrior academies.
Lili in the novel was a wizard ade, but Siena did not go to the Faculty of Magic.
In order to find her own hero, the Department of Heroes was perfect.
Just because you graduate from the Faculty of Heroes doesn’t mean you can’t do Aid.
The Braves Department would be more comfortable monitoring the every move of the hero you like.
‘Would he like it too?’
Of course it will.
Who wouldn’t like to make him the best hero on the continent?
If he had enough time, Siena had the confidence to make him the continent’s best hero.
Then, suddenly.
A woman flashed through Siena’s head.
A kid with the same hair color and eye color as he went into the same dungeon.
‘My name was Eisha Balderk.’
It was annoying to wag Theo softly.
‘Of course not my opponent.’
Human lifespan is only 100 years.
Siena is an elf that lives more than 1000 years.
can’t be a competitor
After all, after a few decades, the only person who will be by his side will be you.
You can ask the dragon to extend his life.
‘Fufu.’
I feel like my body is already heating up with a feeling of spiritual upliftment.
Thinking of painting him with his own colors.
“······eww.”
Theo felt something cool.
