[Entering Single Player dungeon…]

[Difficulty: Sixth dungeon]

If your points are insufficient, the system will deduct from your equipment . If your equipment is insufficient, you will fail . ]

. . .

As the blinding light faded away, Kieran found himself in a corridor . Simple memory fragments started to form in Kieran's mind .

"A teacher?" Kieran complained about the unreliable occupation that had been assigned to him .

Compared to this, the previous occupations, a detective and a reporter, it sounded much more reliable now .

He knew clearly what his education level was . Though he was quite hard working during school days, he was at most a junior middle school level, including the dropouts and part-time jobs, Kieran's precise education level might be even lower than a regular junior middle schooler .

Now assigning him to teach a bunch of high school students was definitely a joke .



Saint Brilliant was a high school and no doubt the students there were all high schoolers!

Besides that, according to his simple memories, this high school was quite a decent one too .

Whether was it the education level or its scientific research, each aspect of the school had respectable points .

"Assigning me as a teacher in this place, the system wants me to teach them [Mystical Knowledge]? I think the moment I opened my mouth, I'll be dubbed as a crazy person . "

Kieran mocked himself with a laugh and started sizing up his surroundings .

On his left was a whole row off classrooms and on his right were the windows .

The classrooms were like what Kieran had in mind, equipped with front and back doors with a class sign on each .

Through the windows on the right, he could clearly see a big soccer field surrounded by running tracks outside .

A bunch of students were chit-chatting, laughing, and were crossing the field, heading outside the school compound . Even when the sunset radiance shone on them, it couldn't diminish their youthful energetic manner .

Fuuu!

Kieran sighed . If it wasn't for his illness, he might share the carefree attitudes of the students as well .

Kieran then grabbed his backpack and headed towards the teacher's office that he remembered .

The description of the dungeon background was limited but it provided a specific time period .

Night .



Based on the limited information, something bad might happen during nightfall and it was already sunset by the time he arrived . Kieran wouldn't waste any more precious time since he was no longer a newbie .

Kieran was quite confident in his strength but it didn't mean he would require less information .

The disappointing thing was, the teacher's office was empty . He frowned .

Even if he hadn't experienced it before, he definitely had seen or heard it before .

Kieran had the most contact with teachers during his student days and he was quite clear about the teachers' habits .

Other than special cases, the majority of teachers wouldn't leave before their students, especially those class teachers . Usually, they would leave after the students of their classes had left the school compound .


Right now, while the students were still leaving, the teachers were already gone .

"The night at school is much more dangerous than I expected . " Kieran guessed and was ready to turn around .

Although the teacher's office was empty, through the windows at the corridor, Kieran noticed a guard at the school's entrance and similar to the teachers, he must know something about the school's situation .

But the moment Kieran turned around…

Tsssk GAK!

An irritating screech sounded and shut the door tight . Not only the exit door but the curtains on the windows as well . The already dimmed teacher's office instantly turned dark as the limited amount of light was blocked .

Darkness filled the office within a second . Kieran was stunned .

Kieran's A+ Intuition allowed him to sense the existence of wandering souls and evil spirits easily even if he didn't activate [Tracking], yet he didn't pick up any of those, not even the slightest amount of negative energy .

The place should be very "clean" .

"What kind of tricks are we playing here?"

Kieran then activated [Tracking] with doubts in his heart but still discovered nothing .

Everything seemed normal under [Tracking]'s vision .

But what he saw a moment later was definitely not normal .

Fuuuuush!

A gloomy and chilly wind was blown towards Kieran, causing his feathered mantle to flutter . The dark room grew even darker as the coldness came .

Dak Dak Dak!

The clear noise of footsteps sounded behind Kieran . He silently moved forward a step and turned around in a flash .

It went quiet! The footsteps stopped right away but the silence lasted no longer than one second . The footsteps sounded once more and were coming from behind .

"Illusions? No . . . not right, it's…"

A wild guess came into Kieran's heart right away, and to verify his guess, he didn't turn around this time but instead he launched a kick backward .

But he missed!

However, the footsteps didn't go away and sounded even clearer in his ears .

If Kieran had doubts before, now it was verified . He didn't care anymore about the footsteps and ran towards the exit even if it was shut tight .

He dashed out quickly and went through the door all of a sudden, arriving back at the corridor .

Kieran turned around to the teacher's office and everything turned back to normal .

"It really is a phantasmal image!" Kieran thought .

Phantasmal images were not illusions and neither would Spirit authentication occur .

All the images had to do was to look and sound real enough to deceive those who see and hear, just like what Kieran did .

Though a fake was always a fake, perhaps it might deceive one for a while but it will eventually be exposed, especially when it came across Kieran as a player .

Kieran came back to his senses after his initial astonishment .

He couldn't believe in his sixth dungeon, he would come across some beings that could induce him in illusions without him knowing . Kieran's Spirit was already at a maximum SSS+, it had far exceeded the other players of the same level and allowed him to handle the dungeon with ease .

So, after some minor testing, Kieran noticed some inklings .

"But to create such a realistic phantasmal image…"

Kieran's eyes sized up his surroundings once more, trying to locate the person responsible .

Bang!

A sudden heavy bang sounded from outside the main academic building .

Kieran quickly followed the source of the noise and saw a fallen body .

Not only bloody and mushy but broken into pieces!
