Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

The appearance of this World Antagonist

*dleb!* *jleb!* *jleb!* *Shelf!*

Aya used her 2nd skill to destroy a stone door. After using it a few times, the door was instantly shattered into stone rubble.

The door has the same material that composes the whole place here-stone-. The door was connected to a room Elena had seen using the branching ability.

This is certainly something that is surprising, because since then they only found the hallway, hallway, and turn. The only different room like this made them, especially Elena think that there was something important in there and became something that was indeed guarded by the maker of this labyrinth.

Because of that curiosity, they both decided to break into this room even though they did not really know what the risk would both be, especially Elena who suggested it. After all, he could use his Teleportation ability when in urgent situations, even though he had trouble controlling it at the moment.

“(Fiuh, have I switched professions to be a construction worker now? Just this time I used my strength other than just in a fight. By the way, now I think if there are many ways to use this skill in another just wear it in a fight. Maybe, I can sneak around and take someone's money easily.)” Aya made a sly grin while staring at the door she had smashed.

“Have it, do not make evil on this earth. You will be doomed if you have bad thoughts like that. Even if not, I will punish you myself, because I am the trainer will also be affected when you commit a crime. Then if you don't need anything anymore, quickly climb up and I'll continue on!” elena said coldly.

“(Good. Being an unpaid worker is indeed very stifling, you know.)” Aya said as she leaped onto Elena's head and sat there.

“This place is still dark just like in the previous hallways. This is not strange because from the beginning we were underground, but still strange when this room became the only place that is a hallway. In fact, in other places is only a hallway and streets filled with traps and aims to fight intruders.” Leon watched closely inside the passageway.

“You how else, ‘kan? His name was also, a treasure room among the many trap aisles. Naturally if this becomes different from the others,” explains Elena guessing.

He did not really know whether this place was a treasure room or not. All he knew was that this place was different from the others using the Branching. Using the Branching as well, he only noticed that there were various geometric patterns within this room. He himself didn't really know what those patterns were for, so he chose to go here to make sure.

Using the Branching anyway he managed to find this place. Although the location of this ancient site is very wide, it is not difficult to know the entire place using the Branch which has a wide enough range. Moreover, most places are in the form of a hallway, so this one room becomes very striking.

‘Well, there is usually a magic formula that uses the drawing of geometric patterns on the surface of an object to make the object have a certain effect. Merely, it did not come from the spirit world and I did not really master about this one magic technique. At least, Noctis is very good at using it.’

“Umu!” Leon nodded his head before entering following Elena.

“Tch, this place is very spacious, yes. I'm tired of going through these halls. Did this place have no end from the beginning? Is the superior still sane to send one person alone in an annoying search in a spacious and convoluted place like this? It's a salary that is not much, plus the work that is becoming increasingly difficult. The world is starting to become a shitty place, yes,” grumbled a man who walked in the dark aisle accompanied by a lantern.

He was wearing a brown fedora hat. His clothes were a black shirt with a vest covering it. Trousers up to his ankles in a brown color similar to his shirt. He wears an older boot compared to his shirt and pants.

For his physical appearance, he had brownish-colored hair and eyebrows. His eyes were golden yellow which was not much different from the color of his eyes and eyebrows. His skin was white, yet it was not too white which made him not look pale. He probably had a very bad relationship with the place he worked to the point of emitting an ominous aura.

*blars!*

A voice broke the silence within this underground labyrinth.

“Ap-What? What is it?” He was shocked and surprised to hear that voice. “Is this an earthquake? Then it'll be very dangerous with me underground. The exit is too far away for me to reach. I'm in big trouble and will only find a dead end if this passageway collapses.”

This is certainly a very reasonable reaction. He was indeed underground, without any safety equipment, or hiding place from natural disaster accidents. Once this passage collapses or is submerged in water, it will be buried or drowned alive in this place without anyone knowing it. Both problems - sinking or being buried alive - are certainly not the end that the majority of people crave.

“No, wait. If this was an earthquake, it should have been felt throughout the hallway and would have lasted for a while. This time, this vibration was only felt once, and this was also not thorough on the entire room here. In other words, it can be assumed if it is not from a natural disaster, but something else,” murmured with a hand holding the chin.

“Don't you think the higher-ups of the trainer association already knew about the ruins of this secret labyrinth, and they did a search to observe this place? I know they have wide access in this world, even having authority that can surpass the government in some cases as the organization that controls the trainers movement around the world. But, this was too much if they could find a site that had been buried for hundreds of years.”

“I have to be fast! Before the association's parties found a secret that had been buried in this place, I had to take that thing and give it to the organization. An item that will be very useful for the development of the penny, must be obtained by the organization and cannot be allowed to be owned by the association!” He clenched his hand tightly.
