Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The castle. The academy the waltzes reached was literally a castle. The castle that appeared in the fantasy movie rose above the high ground.

To add a little more explanation, the castle was naturally not the only one standing. The stone walls surrounded the site, and there were various buildings, large and small, as well as sports fields and thought areas. Comparable to facilities in the modern world, it may be said to be similar to universities in rural areas.

The Waltzes came to the front gate of the academy--

"... it's a lot different than I thought..."

It seems that Waltz, who saw the front gate, accidentally frowned. However, the composition and scale of the college itself were not far from what Waltz imagined.

What was different from her imagination? In a nutshell, it was worn out. It was as if there had been a battle recently.

"I'm telling you, it smells of scorching..."

"Well, in fact, there's a scorching smoke..."

Teresa nodded to Waltz's words.

From the premises of the college, black smoke was rising everywhere, and there was a smell of scorching around. There wasn't that much black smoke, but the academy definitely seemed to be involved in the battle.

Josephine's face turned pale when she noticed what was happening.

"Oh, is it true that the hand of the capital stretched out before ours?!"

In response to her question, Knight Commander Balestre shakes his head to the side. However, that expression was terribly hard.

"No... this doesn't seem to be a human raid. It's impossible for a person to gently cross the ridge... well, I can't do that normally."

Balestre recalls the actions of the Knights. In his head, it seemed that knights equipped with armor all over his body were jumping lightly to places higher than his height, but such an exception did not occur, so he immediately changed his mind. Or it could be that Lucia's class enemies stopped her thinking.

"This is probably a monster attack." They were attacked by monsters, and the academy fought back. ”

Ballestur remembered what he had heard in the village. The students told me that during a class in the woods, they struck out at Gladiator Monkey.

Gladiator Monkeys have a habit of sticking together in swarms when attacked. Therefore, it is common sense among adventurers not to target Gladiator Monkey. It was recommended to choose an escape route.

However, it seems that there were students who did not know about it. One of the students struck out at Gladys Monkey, which led to Gladys Monkey appearing in the vicinity of the village. The villagers had nothing to do with it, but it seemed like they were attacked by the same tribe. Because of this, the villagers were affected in various ways, such as building walls around the village that should not have been necessary, and having to restrict them from going out.

If the students really attacked Gladiator Monkey--

I'm sure Gladiator Monkey has appeared here as well.

--The college the students would have returned to could have been attacked by Gladiator Monkeys.

However, the truth was unknown. The door to the main gate of the college is tightly closed, and even on the ravine, where there should have been guards, there was not a single figure in sight... No one knew what was going on inside the academy.

"If I don't get inside, I don't know the truth..."

"I don't know how to get in..." When Ballestol tried to throw the key, it was like that.

Um, can I just blow the door open?

Lucia makes a dangerous statement.
