◈ Episode 504: Dangerous things in the depths (1)
Several wizards approached Julia and talked to her.
“I am the youngest. Is school life worth it?”
“Who is not bothering you? Just talk. I’ll go right there and grab the president by the collar!”
“Hey, sister! Why is he so burdensome? Julia, just be quiet and tell us who you are. That way, the person who is bothering you won’t be seen the next day.”
“What are you going to do?”
“It just keeps me sleeping.”
“Isn’t it better not to let you sleep?”
“Ew? Is that too?”
The sight of the daydream school wizards exchanging words with each other was truly reminiscent of a marketplace.
“You’re being so cute.”
At Ludger’s words, Julia bit her teeth.
It was as if he was saying ‘I didn’t want to come because of this’.
A person who is more arrogant and ruthless than anyone else in Seorn, but is treated as a cutie within the school he belongs to.
In the end, Julia, who couldn’t stand it, exploded.
“Oh, little! stop it! Anyone who sees it will think I’ve been out for 10 years!”
“No, this is all because we are worried about you. Would you like some candy?”
“Don’t treat me like a kid! I am also a full-fledged dreamer magician!”
At Julia’s cry, the dream school magicians looked at each other.
“No, even if you don’t treat me like a child, what is the age difference between you and us?”
“If people here had gotten married early, they would have had only one daughter like you.”
“Hey. what is the daughter Did you see your grandchildren here?”
“But didn’t you see?”
“Is that too?”
wahahaha!
They talk to each other and even laugh loudly at what is funny.
Even Ludger got tired of that raucous and energetic look.
“Ew? But did our youngest bring a man?”
“Huh! Have you reached that age already?”
“No, what is this parasitic brother!”
The arrow naturally returned to Rudger, who was standing next to Julia.
Sandman was the same, but none of the wizards here recognized Ludger.
Most of all, everyone opened their eyes when they heard that the lovable maknae had brought him, and they were already ready to hit Rudger with a grenade knife.
It was Zandman who stopped it.
“No, these! What are you doing! I am a guest!”
“customer? Isn’t that the man our youngest brought?”
“My youngest school teacher!”
The wizards’ attitude changed like flipping their palms.
“oh my! you were a teacher sorry. we don’t even know that But why did the teacher come here?”
“Aren’t you on vacation now? ah! That’s it! Home visit!”
“A home visit? Wasn’t that to see your parents?”
“Still, we are like the youngest family, so you can come.”
“I see!”
Yes, what is it?
Rudger was about to say that without realizing it, but he barely held back.
At a time like this these days, where is home visitation?
Or maybe it’s because it’s related to the youngest child he cares for so much that it’s not a proper accident.
“Hello, sir. Is our youngest doing well?”
“Isn’t our Julia struggling or anything like that?”
Rudger opened his mouth while thinking about how tired they are.
“Julia is the top of the freshman class. She is smart enough not to miss the first place in any class, so don’t worry.”
At those words, the dream school magicians were visibly relieved.
“Oops, I was seriously considering whether to pack up some candy and go to get to know my Julia.”
“No sister. What is candy? What do kids these days like?”
“is it?”
He’s a tired person and quite embarrassing, but at the same time, his affection for Julia was strong.
Usually, the relationship between wizards within a school is based on a strict hierarchy.
Although there may be differences in the lightness depending on the school, there was definitely no place that showed a close relationship like a family.
‘When I first heard the rumors of the Dream School, I thought that even if they were geeks, they were at least a group of talented geniuses.’
After all, isn’t it different from a neighborhood meeting in a rural village?
But that didn’t mean it was bad.
Rather, I should say that I like it because I can feel humanity.
Because it is a place where only dreamers who dream come together, this emotional part touched me more.
It would be disgraceful for Julia, who is receiving such undeserved love.
Maybe it’s because of those people that she’s tenaciously trying to maintain her current attitude within Seorn.
“Get out of the way, you humans!”
“You son of a bitch! If Julia had come, you should have told me earlier!”
“why me!”

“Look at that ignorant bastard. You bullied Julia again?”
“Oh, okay, I have to guide a customer now, so talk to me later.”
“guide? to whom?”
“I have something to ask you about the depth of Dreamland. This guest is looking for it.”
“what? This young man came to find out the depths of Dreamland?”
The dream school wizards stared at Ludger with their eyes wide open.
The response was exactly halved.
“Young man is curious. However, excessive curiosity is rather poisonous.”
“No, but it’s a life that was born, and living for this kind of romance isn’t bad! I’m rooting for you!”
“No, but why the hell did Shim-cheung come to find out? I could tell you, but could you please let me go in there?”
At that, the other wizards made a fuss.
From that disgusting reaction, you could tell how much they feared the depths of Dreamland.
Only Zantman lashed out at the mages making a fuss.
“Be quiet, you bastards! Anyway, what matters is the decision the elders make, so what are you guys talking about?”
“You are an elder too!”
Rudger said, ‘Is that so?’ I stared at Zantman with a smile.
Jantmann stroked his beard and looked at the distant mountains.
“Is it?”
“Sandman has finally come to senility!”
“What, ma? senility? There’s nothing I can’t say to the elder!”
“Aren’t you busy? What are you doing without having guests!”
Jantman, who was about to get angry, clicked his tongue and started walking again, leading Ludger and Julia.
Cheering followed and cheering Julia well.
Listening to the cheering, Julia’s face was flushed red.
Ludger got out of luck because he thought the atmosphere would become awkward.
“They are quite interesting people.”
“… … I won’t deny that. They are not common people you see anywhere.”
“I guess so. I was pretty surprised too.”
Rudger gave Julia some advice.
“It’s good to care about Sedina, but don’t neglect these people too much.”
“what. Life advice?”
“That’s how it is. Friends are important, but sometimes the day will come when you will be grateful that you have such a family-like senior-junior relationship.”
“You know even if you don’t say anything? It’s just a little embarrassing.”
Rudgar let out a small laugh.
“I can’t deny that.”
I felt similar feelings from the point of view of watching, so I wonder if the person concerned was shocked.
Only Zandt, who was walking in the lead, stopped.
“It’s here!”
Beyond the space of a bedroom disguised as a laboratory.
At the end of it was an ordinary door.
But Rudger sensed that something out of the ordinary was going on behind that door.
The gentle magic that could be felt on the skin from the outside suggested that the inner space itself was filled with some kind of magical thing.
I thought it would be dangerous if I opened it carelessly.
Sandman opened it wide without even thinking about knocking.
A sweet scent wafted from inside with a gentle breeze.
‘Scent? No, something is different.’
It was difficult to describe in words the unknown energy that flowed from the room.
It was fragrant, but I felt it on my skin, and it was warm, but I could smell it.
The inside of the room was full of all kinds of colors.
It was like a flower in the field, and at the same time it was like a star sprinkled in the night sky.
You can taste it even when you see it with your eyes.
I can hear the sound even when I breathe.
A peculiar sensation, as if the five senses are working together.
Seeing as if Zantman and Julia felt the same, they paused for a moment.
“Ugh. His room always looks like this every time he opens it.”
Sandman clicked his tongue and strode into the room.
Every time Jantman took a step, the floor beneath his feet shook and created ripples.
The lights that were swept away by the ripples laughed like a child and became blurry, then returned to their original state.
‘This sight. I’m familiar with something similar.’
A faint sense of deja vu.
Rudger immediately realized the true nature of the feeling of deja vu.
‘The surface world of Dreamland. It’s a similar sight to what I saw there.’
When accessing Dream Land for the Order Synod.
Rudger had witnessed the scene there with his own eyes.
The floor was full of water, with stars submerged below it, and a misty mist of water rose around it.
The scenery inside the room right in front of me was similar to that.
and the center of the room.
The figure of a sleeping being floating in the air came into view belatedly.
‘old woman?’
The person who fell asleep was an old woman who looked over 80 lines of age.
She was asleep, floating in the air, curled up like a fetus in her mother’s womb.
The pure white clothes wrapped around her body moved and rolled over, as if she were looking at another star floating in the sky.
‘That person is the master of the dream school.’
Dream Master of the School of Dreams.
Clara Cowen.
Because he spends more than 300 days out of 365 days a year sleeping, he was a mysterious wizard who never appeared in the public eye.
“Grandma! I’m here! wake up!”
When Zandman shouted something, Clara’s movement in the air suddenly stopped.
Eventually, her body slowly came down.
Clara lightly stepped on the ground with both legs.
The stature was small. Because she was old, her face was full of wrinkles.
It was an age that would not be strange even today.
However, the moment I opened my closed eyes and met those shapely pupils.
Rudger could realize why the old man was the master of the dream school.
I can’t wake up from sleep, but my eyes are half hazy.
Clara Cowen’s eyes peered at Ludger’s figure.
“It’s a ghost to wail. It’s surprising that a person who doesn’t dream has come, but I can feel traces of Dreamland in that person. Are you possibly related to another child in our school?”
Rudger was internally quite surprised.
He never entered Dream Land except during the Order Synod.
Isn’t that quite a thing of the past?
Even if it was the most recent, it was all about greeting Helya when she came in.
It is a magic that unfolded a long time ago.
Nevertheless, Clara Cowen saw through at once that Ludgar had been to Dreamland.
“Ew? did you?”
Jantman also asked in surprise.
But at the same time, since I’ve been to Dreamland, I convinced myself that I was curious about the depth.
Even in the meantime, Clara’s search for Ludger did not stop.
“It’s amazing, it’s amazing. the one who doesn’t dream But still, to visit the world of dreams. Hey, what did you come all the way here to find?”
Clara’s voice was gentle and stern at the same time.
Rudger brought out the purpose for which he had come.
“I want to find a way to get to the depths of Dreamland.”
“Deep section… … .”
Clara wasn’t surprised, but she wasn’t angry or threatened.
As if he knew this would happen, he muttered the word quietly for a moment, then turned around.
“Come in.”
At the words of consent, Rudger entered Clara’s room.
Jantman and Julia tried to enter as well, but Clara wouldn’t allow it.
“Only that child should come in. You two want to wait outside.”
Julia and Jantman did not disobey that.
Although they usually fight like brother and sister, they are very calm and quiet in front of Clara, the head of the school.
Rudger stepped into Clara’s space.
At the same time, the door closed by itself and the scenery inside the room changed.
Centering around where Ludger was standing, the surrounding scenery became colored like a library in reality.
“This… … .”
“Don’t be surprised. This space is made of my magic. It’s real, but it’s a place that contains a world of dreams. It’s a natural reaction since someone who doesn’t dream has entered such a world of dreams.”
Those who do not dream basically face only reality.
Even if they dream, they do nothing but undo some of the reality that was in the past.
It is not a world where all sorts of things are mixed and the unconscious and imagination are added.
Even in dreams, they are bound to reality.
“Do you want to sit down?”
Tuk-tuk.
A wand was clutched in Clara’s hand.
After hitting the floor lightly with it twice, a soft chair suddenly rose from under Rudgar’s feet.
Rudger sat there casually.
“okay. You want to go into the depths?”
“yes.”
“The reason is?”
“There are things to find there.”
“It is something to be found. I don’t know if there is such a thing in the depths of Dreamland, but if you go to that dangerous place, it must be something very precious to you, right?”
“That’s right.”
Clara nodded lightly.
“You can go to the depths of Dreamland.”
“I mean I can go… … .”
“Even if it was a forbidden space, even entry was not blocked. If you want to go, you can go. But after that is the problem.”
“I am fully prepared.”
“no. This is not a matter of determination.”
Clara hit the floor with her cane.
“Deep in that world, there is a sleeping being who should never open his eyes.”
And the surrounding landscape changed.
