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

Episode 175 Chapter 40: The 7th Main Tower (6)

The 7th Main Tower (6)

All schedules outside Stella were finally completed.

Baek Yuseol discovered the method to break the curse of the Florin, realized the existence of the divine object, acquired an artifact from Malentires that would be very helpful against the Black Magic Corruption, and even succeeded in retrieving the 'divine object' by exploring the ruins at Pung RyuJin's residence.

I wanted to return to the Florin immediately to lift their curse, but due to the ongoing introductory phase of the Black Magic Corruption at Stella, I had no choice but to head back.

I intended to find Flame right away and show off the 'Talisman of the Resentful Spirit.' With this, I would feel quite secure during the Black Magic Corruption episode taking place at the Seventh Main Tower.

However, upon arrival, I realized something was amiss.

"Flame...? Now that I think about it, she went somewhere to investigate the ghost stories herself..."

"What's up?"

I sensed that the situation was going terribly wrong.

The episode was progressing unusually fast, and the ghost stories at the Seventh Main Tower had already begun their active phase.

'Damn it...'

Cold sweat poured down my body.

It wasn't that I hadn't expected it.

There had been several changes to the episodes so far, and each time, it had been quite a struggle.

I had a rough idea it might happen.

I just hoped it wouldn't.

'No matter how capriciously the episode changes, this is too much.'

With Professor Maizen Tyren(the main subject of the Black Magic Corruption)gone and replaced by someone else... it couldn't be helped.

Still, I was relieved it wasn't too late. It had only been a few hours since Flame's group entered the Seventh Main Tower.

I quickly prepared myself and headed to the Seventh Main Tower.

This episode was peculiar in that players had to find the entrance to the dungeon themselves.

Unlike usual quests that had instructions on the guide map, this episode required players to uncover mysteries and ghost stories on their own.

Initially, many people were confused and couldn't progress the episode properly, and I was one of those fools. But who were the veterans?

[★Final Summary of the Black Magic Corruption★]

They eventually figured out all the dungeon entrances, all the riddles of the ghost stories, all the routes, all the shortcuts, and various clear methods in the game, and posted the final summary in the community.

There's no other way to describe them but as madmen.

But thanks to them, I was grateful. Because of their efforts, I didn't face any obstacles while heading to the Seventh Main Tower.

However, there was one thing that worried me.

'I hope Flame hasn't overexerted herself by the time I get there...'

She had a tendency to unleash all her strength in response to incidents, just like in the original game, so I couldn't help but worry.

Additionally, there was one more fact I couldn't tell Flame due to a lack of [Narrative Power].
