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

Episode 214 Chapter 46: Old Story(10)

Old Story (10)

Today was a very strange day for Eisel.

After finishing lunch as usual, she tried to sneak a piece of cake without her maid Priscilla noticing. Unfortunately, because of a sudden general cleaning, she got caught by the maids.

Then, while reading comics in her secret spot, a cat barged in and she screamed, getting caught again.

On top of that, she wanted to play with a ball for some reason. While playing alone, the ball flew over the fence. When she went to retrieve it, she got entangled in a special magic barrier and forgot her way back.

While wandering in the forest, she encountered a terrifying wolf monster.

It was truly... she thought she was going to die. How many times could a seven-year-old feel the emotions of fear and despair while facing a life-threatening situation?

Her lips turned blue, her whole body trembled, and her heart pounded wildly. Although the fear hadn't entirely subsided, she was able to calm down a little now.

A stranger wearing a mask.

She didn't know his name or face, but somehow, being with him made her feel at ease.

"...So, are we going the right way now?"

When Baek Yuseol, who was following her, asked, Eisel confidently leading the way nodded hurriedly.

"Y-Yes, this is the right way."

"The 'this way' you mentioned earlier was north-east, but now 'this way' is north-west. The directions are different."

"T-That can't be!"

Eisel rolled her eyes in confusion. She was sure she had come this way, so why was the direction different?

"Sigh..."

Future Eisel is smart and good at everything, but it seems she was quite foolish as a child.

(TL: n!gga she's a 7 y/o. The hell do you mean foolish. Gamer NEET trying to act all smart)

Well, being too smart at seven might be a little scary in its own way.

As Baek Yuseol pondered what to do, a message was transmitted through the bulbul glasses.

[Analysis Complete]

[The forest is under the 'Wanderer's Rule' magic, which disrupts the sense of direction in living creatures.]

"What?"

He widened his eyes in disbelief. Though he had some knowledge of magic, he could grasp how absurd the message from the Glasses was.

"The entire forest is under such extensive magic...?"

Isn't that insane?

Then, a sudden thought struck him.

'Wait... magic that disrupts the sense of direction?'

Magic.

'Then, isn't it possible to analyze it?'

[Possible due to sensory abilities exceeding the barrier.]

[Searching complete.]

After waiting for a while, it seemed as if the forest split and a path opened up in front of his eyes.

"Oh... something..."

[Starting route guidance.]

[Go straight for 7.3km.]

[Then, turn right.]

"...Is this a navigation system?"

(TL: the name of this series should have been "When I transmigrated to a game with the OP cheat Glasses")
