Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

This medicine has the expected reaction!

*prank!* *bush!*

Alvino fell which made the glass bottle crumble due to the impact with the floor. After that, a purplish-colored fog that was the liquid inside the bottle exploded filled the room. The two of them, who were in the room at the time, could not escape and immediately inhaled a lot of the liquid, then lost consciousness.

*gebug!*

“Ugh... This, ‘ka...?” Noctis lost his consciousness and briefly thought, ‘Sial! I should have kept my guard up when I found out that he had a suspicious attitude from the start I entered this building. As I expected, gambling is a sin and will surely get the punishment of the Almighty either sooner or later. I have to warn all of them to stop doing activities as soon as possible before the death pick up.’ Before Noctis' consciousness disappeared and his eyes were tightly shut.

‘Am I not needed in this raid? At least I don't have to fight with them. I wish I'd come to my senses sooner than Noctis and be able to escape before he gets suspicious. Good, what excuse do I use, huh? Will I say if something goes wrong and take the wrong liquid?’ thought Alvino realized that this was Dwa's backup plan.

The two of them fell asleep right then and there, unable to put up any resistance to the sleeping pills Dwa had. With the unconsciousness of the two of them, this room became quiet with a deep purple mist filling the room. If there was someone who accidentally entered and inhaled this fog, they would have a fate more or less the same as the two of them.

After several rooms were filled with dense fog, finally the fog gradually began to recede and clearly showed the lifeless bodies of the two lying on the floor. Of course the two of them were fine and were just asleep, yet both of them became extremely range against attack and were unable to move for a while ahead.

*whirl!*

A swirl of black fog with some electric current striking on its axis appeared not far from the two of them, followed by Dwa who came out from there and looked at the bodies of Noctis and Alvino.

“I'm sorry, yes, Cztery. But, this sacrifice of yours is necessary because you have failed to fulfill your duty to make the Spirit King of Darkness fall asleep. At the very least, I will not waste your sacrifice, then I and the other two elders will start an attack to eradicate Elena Madison. Again, I'm sorry for making you fall asleep with the enemy!” Dwa put her palms together as she apologized to Cztery who was unable to hear her.

His face was invisible because he was wearing a mask. However, he would show his guilty expression when the mask was removed. In his mind, Dwa said, ‘Again, you will not fight with us. Between you who are conscious and you who are asleep, nothing changes from our plans, and you will remain still in place. Hmm, is it possible that you will be the bait for the next tragedy, yes.’

*zlab!*

The portal made of black fog was covered along with Dwa who pointed his face at Noctis. Paying close attention, he muttered, “I used to make a contract with you. But after you left me, I had some miserable problems that one by one approached me, until I wanted to destroy this kingdom.”

“You take it easy, Spirit King of Darkness. I will not fight you or hurt you. I don't know what kind of monster you are, so it's too risky to hurt you right now. But, even so, I will still be aiming for your contract at the moment because he has nothing to do with this problem and instead he is one of the nobles in this world.”

“Ya, stop. First I will move the bodies of the two of them to the room on the second floor. I can't let someone else accidentally find you two and give you help early. I don't know the maximum effect of this drug, but you two shouldn't be asleep forever.”

“Luckily, I moved to another room before this smoke spread all over. This plan will be of no use if I breathe in this smoke.”

As he monologued earlier, Dwa carried the bodies of the two of them away to the 2nd floor. This process was not easy, to the point that he thought, ‘Are not spirit bodies supposed to be made of the elements they possess? Then, why does Noctis' body have weight, anyway! Does the shadow actually have mass like other objects? I don't know about this and always control shadows using magic!’

“Hah, alright, I've finished moving both bodies. Now it's time to contact Pias and Szec to start their action!” Dwa also pressed the tool like an earphone in his left ear.

•••••

Elsewhere, more precisely in the academy, Pias and Szec have stood by there and await further direction from Dwa. The two of them hid atop a tree and were covered in leaves, with a pair of binoculars they used to more clearly monitor Elena's movements which were their current targets.

*tit!* *tit!*

“For a moment, it looks like I just got a message from Dwa. You keep an eye on him while I'll do some dialogue with Dwa, huh?” Szesc handed the binoculars to Piec beside him.

“Of course, you don't have to feel shy. After all, it is our duty to keep an eye on Elena because she is our target to watch out for. Left for a moment when he already knew about our existence, I don't want to see what disaster will be given to us.” Piec took binoculars from Szesc.

‘By the way, I feel if our target on this one - Elena--had a very calm attitude or rather ... lethargic, ‘kan? Even during a lesson like this, he could still be calm and not pay attention to the teacher. However, even so, he can still answer all the existing problems precisely and quickly when called forward to the front of the class.’

‘Okay, I feel bad watching a 10-year-old girl like this. I feel like I'm a depraved man who's after an innocent little boy. Actually, the hell, we were going after him and did something bad to him (killing him), but I still felt uncomfortable with the idea of watching a little girl like this.’
