Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

14 – The Seven Wonders of Denbergen (2)

At first, I thought Charlotte and a certain senior were meeting one-on-one.

Have you ever had a problem, or have you been viciously bullied for being a commoner freshman….

I guessed this, but the truth was different.

She was right that Charlotte was stamped, but she wasn’t the only one who was stamped.

“This way.”

I headed to the place in question, guided directly by the second-year senior who had picked up her Charlotte.

She had a grumpy face, but when I went down to the basement, the place in question, I was surprised to see all the people who looked alike.

Could it be that a tough appearance is a condition for passing this meeting?

Then I think Charlotte and I will be eliminated from the first round of paperwork before the interview.

On the other hand, there were also first-year students who still had a youthful look on their faces and were very nervous.

Well, it’s even scary when the scary-looking seniors summon you to a dark and dull basement and surround them in a circle.

In the meantime, looking at the ragtag look, it seemed like he hadn’t done anything like this a few times.

You must be very excited to hear that a freshman is coming in, you guys.

“By the way, are you invited too?”

“Me? Yes, someone else invited you.”

“Do you remember who it was?”

“Sure. He was a bit manly-looking.”

“I don’t know because there aren’t just a few guys like that….”

Meanwhile, I tricked the second-year student who had come to pick up Charlotte and safely entered the secret meeting place, the basement.

I’m sure he would have called only Charlotte, but I thought he’d say something about you, why are you showing up together, but surprisingly, he didn’t ask in detail.

Could it be that the lucky fool got caught, or did the guys here all have the same hair as well as the faces?

I was able to see through the whole story thanks to the fact that he passed on useful information at a glance even though he was able to get over it.

‘Well, I’m going to grind it down… It must be something like that.’

How should I say, it wasn’t that surprising.

In a place where there is not only the concept of senior and junior, but also a top-down relationship, this is something that inevitably happens.

However, if this is a school, the story is a little different.

It is harder than imagined for students who are still young to resist their seniors, so teachers and staff who failed to prevent it also have a responsibility.

‘But I can’t call the teacher here all of a sudden… How should I destroy this?’

I looked at the student as a captain, who was having a pleasant time of thinking and trying to somehow create a high-pressure atmosphere.

You said your name was Humpton?

A child is a child even though he is in third grade.

It just seemed funny to me, not only because of his age, but also because I’ve seen more severe cases of this kind of bitterness in the Resistance.

‘What is this compared to then…… It’s kid’s play.’

Although the resistance is a group of groups that took place for the sake of a coup, the military is an army as long as the word ‘gun’ is attached to its name.

At first, everyone started with a sense of pride, but soon a hierarchy was formed and the hierarchy became clear, and the craving intensified.

Among them, there were many crazy people who used their subordinates as toys to relieve stress, saying they would hold on to discipline and establish discipline.

The more public such cruel acts became, the more the solidarity of the organization weakened, and furthermore, the foundation was almost shaken, such as the occurrence of defectors.

‘If I hadn’t solved it then, it would have been a big deal.’

But I got an order from Mr. Philburton in just one month and I solved all the grunting problems.

At the time, the scale of the resistance was not so large, but most of all, it was because I knew the special potion that solved the thirst.

The name of the special potion was physical force, or overwhelming violence.

‘Ah, this life I really wanted to live as a dignified aristocrat….’

I’m sorry, Mr. Philburton.

I think I can’t help it even though I got a completely new body and even got the status of an aristocrat.

It seems that the blood of the unscrupulous assassin you left behind is still flowing in my body.

“Okay, it looks like everyone has gathered, so let’s start talking!”

Just then a third grader named Humpton shouted.

His arrogant voice, which broke the silence of the quiet cellar, was repulsive enough to make you want to cover your ears.

Actually, all the other students were frowning.

Though Humpton’s men immediately sulked as they were disciplined.

“Why do you think I called you guys?”

At that question, someone raised a trembling hand.

“Even if you need money… ….”

“f*ck! What money is it, if I needed money, I would have grabbed the bourgeois aristocrats by the collar and threatened them, would I have called you guys?!”

“Sorry!”

“As a senior from a commoner background like you, I was brought here to teach juniors who are about to grow big, how to survive in the demonic realm of Denbergen Academy. Okay? Huh?”

A chubby boy wearing glasses was backfired when he tried to answer Humpton’s question.

Anyway, the students gathered here were all commoners except for me.

It was a little strange to see everyone, including Charlotte, shivering and nodding eagerly every time Humpton said a word.

‘If you needed money, you would have threatened a noble… What, he’s just a bully who only invites easy-going commoners like himself and rips them off.’

He looked even more pitiful when he realized that Humpton was trying to create some sort of commoners’ cartel.

If I hadn’t accumulated experience as an assassin, I might have kept laughing because of my lack of acting skills.

“By the way, hehehe… Were you the son of the Martin store?”

“Yes? Yes! That, yes.”

“At the end of the sentence, add senior.”

“That’s right, senpai.”

“Hmm, so what? I won’t ask for it, but if you go ahead and give me a present for your senior, there’s nothing I won’t accept.”

“Yes…… ? Ahhh! All right! I understand, senior!”

The boy from earlier, terrified, lowered his head several times and trembled.

After that, Humpton continued to call out students by name and call them wildly.

The situation is like a sitcom, and it’s just funny, but when you see Charlotte shudder and Humpton talks too long, you start to get annoyed.

‘This amount of people… Is it a little overbearing?’

I remember all the skills I learned as an assassin, but unfortunately, this body was not very healthy, suffering from minor illnesses since I was a child.

He had poor stamina and poor durability, so I couldn’t guarantee that he could take down dozens of giants much bigger than me by himself.

The chances of success… About half?

Besides, if his life was taken away, things would get bigger, so he had to keep his hands in moderation.

In fact, capturing the target without killing it was one of the most annoying and annoying conditions for an assassin like me.

“So we’re going to give you guys a little guide to this school. So when you guys meet later in the hallway, bow down and show some courtesy to your seniors, and that’s it. Do you like each other is not it?”

“Courtesy?”

“Yes, if the senior doesn’t have enough money for lunch, she will happily buy it for you. Or give a gift as a sign of respect, or something like that. Do you really have to tell me?”

While I was thinking about fighting, Humpton’s speech slowly ran toward the climax.

Just as he clenched his fists knowing it was time to step out, Humpton suddenly started talking about something strange.

“By the way, do you guys know about the Seven Wonders of Denbergen Academy?”

Why the 7 wonders all of a sudden?

Well, I know roughly what it feels like.

It’s not necessarily only at the Denbergen Academy. Every school with a long history had one or two of these creepy elements.

Usually, those things were added over time and were called the Seven Wonders.

“This very place where we are gathered now is where one of the Seven Wonders of the World is located. Didn’t you know?”

The first year freshmen all shook their heads. It was the first time he had heard of the 7 Wonders of the World.

In fact, he didn’t even seem to want to hear from a guy like Humpton.

“This is the first of the Seven Wonders.”

Humpton moved away from his seat and pointed to the door that had been standing behind him all along.

No one cared about that door until Humpton emphasized it.

Since it is also the basement of the dormitory, it is a door leading to the building’s essential infrastructure, or a resting room… At least that much?

No matter how you look at it, it didn’t seem like there was anything great enough to be given the colossal name of the Seven Wonders.

“Well, from the outside, it looks like an ordinary door. If you just hold the doorknob and turn it, the door opens with a click.”

As Humpton said, he grabbed the doorknob and turned it.

However, as he said, the old iron only made a clicking sound, and the door did not open even when pushed with force.

I wondered if she was just pretending to be Mi and making fun of her juniors, but seeing that she didn’t budge even when she slammed her body into the door, it was only then that she gained some credibility.

“Heh, heh… As you just saw, this is a door that will never open.”

A door that never opens? Wasn’t the door created to open in the first place?

I couldn’t understand it with my head.

What is it used for? Where are you going to use it?

“Once upon a time, it is an established theory that a senior who must have graduated now opened this door and found it while trying to hide prohibited items. A door that doesn’t open even when you turn the doorknob and doesn’t have a key, doesn’t it really suit the Seven Wonders?”

Despite Humpton’s forced first-year students, the story behind that gate was very interesting.

I doubted if it was broken, if it was under some kind of magic, or if it had a special device, but it was useless.

“It’s a door that hasn’t been opened for nearly 100 years. It didn’t break, and even when the great wizards came to visit it, it didn’t open. It continues as if it has been here since the world began.”

It is a thief’s instinct to want to open a closed door.

And in some ways assassins are like thieves.

My fists, which had been clenched just moments ago to knock out the Humptons, now clenched the wire I had pulled out of my pocket.

‘How many times have I picked a doorknob with a wire?’

It was to the point where I couldn’t even remember it now.

Anyway, I was a bit curious about what kind of reaction would be if something grandiosely decorated like the 7 wonders of Denbergen were pierced with just one wire of mine.

The name of the door that never opens will fade.

“Keuk-kuk, yes. If anyone among you opens this door, I will treat you as my brother for the rest of my life. Instead, if you fail to open it, you have to show courtesy to the seniors you consistently respect every week.”

“Every, every week… ?”

“If only… um, yes Why don’t you let Martin’s son try it first?”

At Humpton’s words, the freshmen lowered their heads as they realized their fate that they would eventually open the doors one by one.

To suggest a door that won’t open anyway because it’s enchanted by a high-ranking person or decorated with tricks and then asks you to open it.

The Humpton gang was only making up the appearance of quizzes and betting formally, and it was nothing more than to scare juniors and extort money.

A kind school guide was no different from an evil merchant who sold goods to the powerless in the marketplace.

‘I don’t know if it’s hyung or being courteous to seniors, I just want to open that door.’

But my attention was gradually shifting from the Humptons to the door that would never open.

I was also curious about the moment when a door that would never open opened and the absolute modifier fell out, but more than anything, I wanted to know what was inside.

As long as it’s secured with a door like that, there might be something tremendous inside.

‘With this cute wire… !’

Just as I was on fire, Charlotte, much calmer than before, suddenly raised her hand on one side of her arm and glared at Humpton.

Humpton twitched his eyebrows and nodded.

“What, do you have any questions?”

“Yes, what are the pictures on that door?”

“Ah… painting?”

“I was just curious.”

Humpton glanced at the door and shrugged.

“I don’t know. Could it be that seniors who graduated did graffiti? This is one of the seven wonders that has been in school since ancient times, so we don’t even know.”

I am very proud of it. It’s not something you made yourself, and you don’t know much about it, and you use it as an excuse to steal money from your juniors’ noses…….

Anyway, thanks to Charlotte’s question, I finally became conscious of something I hadn’t been paying much attention to before.

‘It’s a picture painted on a door. Is that really graffiti?’

The quality was too good to be called scribbles by students.

But what puzzled me a little was that Charlotte said it was a painting, but to me, she seemed closer to text than painting.

The characters I saw after reincarnating were slightly different from 500 years ago, so it took me a while to learn them, but those were very different from the characters 500 years ago.

‘Something… I’m used to it.’

A sense of déjà vu that can’t be hidden. Something familiar feeling.

I racked my brain trying to remember where I had seen that grotesque thing, whether it was a picture or text.

Such a bizarre appearance in a character that was not used even 500 years ago…….

‘Ancient letters!’

A thrill swept through my body as if I had been struck by lightning.

How the hell did you not recognize that at first glance?

The letters written on the door that never opens are the same as the ancient letters engraved on the blade of the dagger I used in my previous life.

Thanks to the magic made up of the ancient characters, I had discovered the kingdom’s underground passage and put it to good use, so I couldn’t help but notice.

To exaggerate a bit, isn’t it possible that you were able to successfully assassinate all of the Deadlin royal family overnight thanks to learning those ancient characters?

‘That means… ….’

I could read the ancient writing on that door.

For hundreds of years, tens of thousands of students have passed through this place, but only me.

I started to feel that the clues were gradually being unraveled.
