I became a flashing genius in front of the magic school 060
17. Masquerade (3)
Leaving behind Full Frame, who was standing still in confusion, Zeki stood in front of one of the four aisles.
“Even this situation was planned by the professors, so we just have to deal with it without panicking. “Is that right, guys?”
“Uh, uh… … .”
“So, I’ll go first.”
After saying that, I stepped into the passage without hesitation. As she disappeared in an instant, the other students became agitated.
If this situation were really a performance evaluation, any time spent hesitating would be applied as a point deduction factor.
“I’m going in too.”
“Hmm, I’ve always been prepared for situations like this.”
Hong Bi-yeon sighed as students piled into their respective aisles.
‘No one is moving systematically.’
Do they just pick a random place without even knowing what the passage in front of them means or where it goes?
Moreover, if you consider what the NPC said earlier, there are definitely monsters inside there. They say that points are awarded individually, but why don’t they realize that it is more advantageous to earn points by forming groups with the minimum number of people?
Out of the corner of her eye, she steals a glance at White Snow
Yes.
The person here who is most proficient in interpretation and strategy can definitely say that it is Baekyuseol.
Even in a crisis situation when a necromancer attacked, he calmly organized the situation, and even in a monster mock battle, he had a record of defeating five medium-sized monsters with his unique wit and excellent strategy.
If you are chasing someone, it would be right to follow the White Yuseol.
“Where are you going?”
Students who think like Hong Bi-yeon
When Azel asked Baek Yu-seol in passing whether there were more than one person, they all overheard with their ears pricked up.
‘No matter where you go, it’s the same path, so what’s the point of worrying? … :
Actually, Baek Yu-seol had no thoughts. This is because the moment you pass through that passage, all the people disperse randomly. So he roughly decided.
**Why don’t you just go this way.”
He stood in the aisle on the far left, and Azel was behind him.
“Then I want to go this way too.”
,,why.,,
“I think you might be correct about something.”
“no. “You go over there.”
“no, I do not want.”
“Huh.”
He was staring at Azel as if he were dumbfounded, but when he suddenly felt a lot of people coming from behind, he turned around.
“Keuhumhum.”
“Kuhum.”
Most of the other students also chose the same path as Baekyuseol. center
Even Hong Bi-yeon caught a glimpse of him and clung to him.
‘These kids only learned little things.
Some students who were watching the atmosphere also quietly moved their seats in this direction.
“Hmm, then me too… …
Hmm.”
So, as a result, fifteen people moved together, excluding Jackie, who started first.
It was ridiculous, but I didn’t say anything because it didn’t mean anything.
Baek Yu-seol was the first to step inside the passage.
Sigh! Along with the feeling of being sucked in, the concentration of air became heavier and a damp and dark hallway appeared.
“Uh, huh? what. “Where have they gone?”
“It’s gone… … .”
Students who came in late made embarrassed noises. They must have all come in together, but most of the students disappeared.
‘Hmm, I didn’t expect to end up in the same passage as Heung Bi-yeon… …
A total of 16 students are placed 4 in each of 4 aisles. Probably Azel and Full Lame would have teamed up.
“I guess it’s not possible to crowd around all at once. “Let’s go for now.”
The atmosphere in the hallway was quite eerie. Outside the half-broken window, there is only a wall. I don’t even know why there is a window. Most of the lights were broken, and the ones that remained were barely flickering.
“There’s something that looks like a stone statue in the hallway.”
Do you see that?”
Thanks to the influence of magic leakage delay, his physical ability was so superior, but thanks to the new ‘infrared’ function of the direct copper glasses, there was no problem in darkness like this.
But not other students.
“Try making a fire.”
At his words, several students floated spheres of light in the air. Even if it does not necessarily have the radiance attribute, luminescence is a basic magic.
However, the field of view was still narrow, and the stone statue that Baek Yu-seol mentioned could not be seen.
Yes. After walking a little further, the statue he was talking about came into view of other students.
“Did you see it in advance on this street?”
“Wow, what really happened to your eyesight?”
The students were surprised and whispered. Although Hong Fei-yeon did not speak, she was quite surprised.
“But that… … “It’s a stone statue, right?”
There was not just one stone statue, but they were all wearing the same dress and standing in a dancing pose.
It’s so lively, like it’s really alive.
The students were so excited that they trembled as they passed by.
And at the end of the hallway, there was a door. A radish that is locked in something

“I learned the unlocking spell, but will it work here?”
“well. “It won’t be possible to do it at our level, as we can’t even interpret the gate.”
Hong Bi-yeon kept her mouth shut and looked around.
‘This feeling of discomfort… … .’
Something feels artificial and awkward.
I had an intuition.
A mystery sleeps in the dancing stone statue.
Now that we cannot interpret the Persona Gate, we will have no choice but to use our insight to the fullest to solve the mystery.
“Hey, commoner. “Did you interpret this gate?”
When Hong Bi-yeon asked, Baek Yu-seol blinked before answering.
“no.”
The answer was a bit disappointing, though.
“But I have a rough idea of how to get past here.”
“… okay? “You said you couldn’t interpret it?”
“Because there are some things you can understand without necessarily interpreting them.”
At the same time, Baek Yu-seol pointed to the stone statue.
“If you look closely, the movements of all the statues are different, but they are dancing the same type of dance.”
The number of stone statues was almost dozens, and they were expressing the movements of some kind of dance in detail. Hong Bi-yeon shook her head and said.
“’Requiem for the Dead Serena’. “It’s a dance that Serena, unable to cope with her own tragedy, danced right before she died.”
“that’s right. “I know.”
”Because dance is the basis of culture.”
“Then, you remember the movements well, right?”
“That’s right… … ah.”
Hong Bi-yeon, who finally figured out Baek Yu-seol’s intention while speaking with a smile, hardened her expression.
,no way… … ?)
She hurriedly adjusted the movements of the statue.
I took a close look.
Now that I see it… … The movements of all the statues were sequential.
I thought there were just a lot of dancing statues, but it turned out that all those statues were just one person’s movements listed in chronological order!
But very occasionally, there was one empty movement. Exactly 4 moves. It matched the number of people perfectly.
“this… … “You mean if we just fill in the blanks for that movement, it will work?”
“Uh, huh? “I think that’s right?”
That is the mystery of the first gateway.
Since there is a previous action and a next action, it will not be that difficult to predict the middle action.
“Now, let’s each take action from the end. “You don’t have to dance, you just have to pretend.”
“I want to do it here.”
“I’m here… … .”
Even if Hong Bi-yeon did not explain the movements, the students went to their respective seats and performed the movements.
This dance is so famous, but it was also thanks to the fact that the nobles basically learned dancing as an essential culture.
Let’s all four people make empty moves like that, Gigi Gijing!! The door at the end of the hallway opened with the sound of the floor grinding.
“I did it!”
“and… It’s simpler than you think, right? “I’m glad I’m in the same group as Baek Yu-seol.”
“Let’s go. There will be more puzzles like this in the future.”
Baek Yu-seol quickened his steps as he glanced at the dancing stone statue that was still standing. It’s a shame that you’ve succeeded just fine now, but if you fail to solve the riddle or don’t have much time,
If there had been a longer delay, they would have come to life.
As I moved beyond the door, a large room appeared.
The antique room, which was about 100 pyeong in size, had a luxurious and warm atmosphere that was completely different from the old hallway. Stone statues in the form of knights were placed here and there in the room.
Some knights were pointing their swords in the air, some were standing still, and some were looking somewhere.
“This time, those knights are a mystery.
“Maybe?”
“Oh, I think so too.”
Certainly, the stone statue looks a little suspicious. The riddle just now also happened to be a stone statue. So the students began to investigate, focusing on the stone statue.
I guess I stayed like that for about 5 minutes.
“It’s a carpet.”
“uh..
Baek Yu-seol parted his lips. At that time, Hong Fei-yeon was still observing the statue.
“Look at the pattern on the carpet. Everyone is dancing. When I interpreted the gate a little bit, the keyword ‘dance’ came out. “Maybe it’s the carpet dancing that’s the problem this time.”
“Yeah, really?”
“huh. If you look closely, you can see that the finger-sized human symbol is making a certain movement, but it is slightly crossed in some places. “Isn’t it a mystery to get this right?”
At those words, Hong Bi-yeon felt her head light up.
She also has a little bit of this place.
Yes, I was able to interpret it, but didn’t I see the keyword dance at that time?
‘Why didn’t I think of this… … ?,
As if she had been hit by a hammer on the head, she opened her mouth in a daze. She thought that of course she would be a statue again this time, so she wasted her time on useless things.
It was a stereotype.
I know how dangerous this stereotypical way of thinking is, but I still can’t change it.
”Now, turn around here. So do you see proper dancing? This… … ‘Tango of Silent Serena.’”
“Oh, I know that.”
“that’s right. “Everyone remembers the moves, right?”
“Because it’s such a famous dance, I’ve danced it a lot.”
“Then match the pieces of the carpet to that movement.”
As the students began to move around busily, Hong Bi-yeon looked at the profile of Baek Yu-seol, who was working hard, with slightly sunken eyes.
‘surely… … different.’
I knew it from the first time I was taught ‘change of thinking’ by him, but
As I directly realized the difference between myself and myself, it somehow felt distant.
All the abilities to grasp the secrets of that statue in that short period of time, and to observe and think about something from a different perspective than others.
Surely, given enough time, Hong Bi-yeon would have been able to figure it out. No, anyone could have figured it out.
However, Persona Gate basically has a time limit. So, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it is.
The white snow theory is not bound by time at all.
Instead, the moment he looked at the riddle, he immediately came up with the answer.
Strategies, ideas, observations, calculations, reasoning, etc.
In all areas where he used his brain, it could be said that Baek Yu-seol was truly gifted.
Then, a question arose.
‘Born with it?’
There was something, something strange about those words. Simply because I was born with it… … Baek Yu-seol’s way of thinking was similar to that of a veteran.
What I mean is, for Baek Yu-seol, it is not just a difference in creativity, but ‘experience.
I felt the depth coming from ストi.
As if I had gone through Persona Gate dozens or hundreds of times, I was able to see something from a different perspective than that of a first-year Stella cadet.
‘Hmm, it’s a difference in experience… … .,
Hong Bi-yeon’s suspicions grew deeper and deeper.
