I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 170 Chapter 40: The 7th Main Tower (1)

The 7th Main Tower (1)

'Princess Hong Bi-yeon is missing.'

No matter how much the staff tried to keep it quiet, the rumor of such a high-profile student's disappearance spread quietly throughout Stella.

Students were already scared because of the ghost stories, and now the same situation was happening repeatedly.

Flame looked at Hong Bi-yeon's disappearance from a slightly different perspective.

In this episode, 'disappearance' meant being dragged to the 7th Main Tower. In the original novel, except for the protagonist Eisel, no one else was dragged there.

'You are not qualified.'

Although victims might disappear temporarily, they were only found collapsed somewhere in the hallway with those red phrases.

But for some reason, the protagonist Eisel was dragged to the 7th Main Tower, and with the help of Haewonryang, who uncovered the truth of the incident, they overcame it together...

That was the story.

In that episode, Hong Bi-yeon didn't even appear. Back then, she was just a character who appeared only to torment the protagonist.

But now, out of nowhere, Hong Bi-yeon was dragged to the 7th Main Tower?

'Wait a minute. Come to think of it, what does qualification mean?'

It was something she had never thought about.

While reading the novel, she had simply assumed that 'qualification' was something that would be explained later because the protagonist was involved.

But thinking back, the novel concluded without ever fully revealing what that qualification was.

If Eisel wasn't the only one who met that qualification, and Hong Bi-yeon also fulfilled it? What if she was dragged there because the plot was diverging from the original?

'This is driving me crazy...'

Originally, a significant incident was supposed to happen about a week from now, but she didn't expect this chaos to start so soon.

It felt like the story had accelerated, with a different entity replacing Meizen Tyrion as the main subject of this story.

"...This won't do."

Flame, with a worried expression, looked at Eisel, who was restless.

The two girls, Morp and Adolevit, who used to be rivals, had grown through their shared experiences and now had a strong relationship, almost like rivals.

"Let's go in and save her."

Therefore, when Flame said that.

"Let's do that."

Eisel could answer without hesitation.

"Wait a minute. Do you know how to get in? Even the professors can't enter; how do you plan to do it?"

Annella asked with a shocked expression, but both Eisel and Flame already knew the way.

The only way to walk in on their own without being dragged in like Hong Bi-yeon.

'I tried to be as careful as possible until that man arrives... but there's no other way.'

There's no telling when Baek Yu-seol will return, so they couldn't just wait. They had to know how to act on their own, even without him.

"Let's go. Let's save that brat."

"Yes."

Resolutely, Flame and Eisel turned to leave.
