Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

The cave where the Finolas were originally based.

A short distance from the entrance to the cave, I was waiting to be swamped by the woods.

Beside me, a girl with lovely cat ears and tails stands to lean against me perfectly.

Mi looks up at me with those crushed eyes and opens her mouth.

"Maybe it's time?

"Oh. I hope Lefania does a good job on the end."

While I give it back, I turn my gaze towards the cave.

In front of the entrance to the cave, about ten meters near it, it is an open meadow with no trees.

And that place is where it becomes the liver of this operation.

Then Mi pulled the hem off my robe.

"─ I'm here, William. There, it's Lefania."

That's what I say, so I'll take a look in the direction Mi pointed out.

But beyond that, I could just see the trees on one side of the forest.

─ No.

When I stared at him, I saw something moving in the direction Mi pointed out, way ahead.

That, if you look closely, was the appearance of an elf running between the trees.

That empty haired elf girl runs worried about her back from time to time, slowly approaching this way.

"That's something I notice a lot..."

"Heh, I'm confident in my eyesight. You can praise me more if you're smart, William?

"Ah, oh. That's Mi."

"Nha. Ahhh."

When I did my hair exactly as Mi asked, the Beast Man girl was trying to narrow her eyes and feel comfortable.

As adorable as ever.

Forget that.

At a stage when Lefania was approaching me somewhat, I waved and sent her a signal.

Lefania, who noticed it, turned her back again before rushing toward us.

I cast a perception inhibition (sensible) spell at the time Lephania joined us.

The effect of this spell, which affects the range around the operator, enveloped Mi and Lephania around me in the range of effects at the same time.

"Ha, ha, ha...!

"Good day, you did well. How'd it go?

"Ha, I know... I think you're catching me..."

Lefania takes a rough breath but answers my questions in colour.

Sounds like a good job.

After waiting for a while as it was, I began to see a subracial figure with a green giant in the distance of the direction where I first saw Lefania.

It's a bunch of oaks.

Looking over at the surrounding area, he moves up through the woods.

All right, that looks good.

And then...

I predict the right time and cast a phantom (illusion) spell.

The target location is the square in front of the cave.

When the spell is complete, an empty haired elf girl appears in front of the cave.

It totally looked the same as Lephania.

"Really, I look just like..."

"Come on, do the orcs eat up...?

Lefania and Mi share their thoughts with each of them.

Naturally, the real Lephania was beside me.

Waiting as it was for a while, a herd of oaks proceeded as they peered into the surroundings, coming all the way around to put the square in front of the cave into view.

I'll give you instructions on the effects of the spell.

The illusion of Lephania's appearance made him look more anxious to see the oak before rushing into the cave in a hasty fashion.

Then he made sure he was caught by it, and a herd of oaks gathered in the square in front of the cave.

So much so that a total of more than thirty orcs fill that square area.

Some of them were thought to be superior species and nearly ten individuals mixed together.

"It took. Like funny......"

"All right, Mi, get in touch with me"

"Yes. I'll handle it."

Mi quickly ran backwards, out of the range of perception inhibition (insensible).

Hiddenly, getting out of this place so the Oaks can't find it is best suited to Mi, who is good at covert behavior.

In fact, she disappeared into the woods without being noticed at all by the orcs gathering in the square.

"Now all we have to do is siege and annihilate everyone waiting nearby, right...? Wow, it really did what William said..."

Next to me, Lephania was pounding and shouting surprises.

The operation I set up this time is very simple.

Lefania escapes "deliberately found" by Orc.

Deceive the orcs chasing it with phantom (illusion) spells and draw attention to the cave.

That's how the orcs gathered in one place in front of the cave were to be surrounded by all allies and attacked in total.

"If there's something somewhat intelligent about the orcs of the superior species, you might suspect some kind of trap. But if you look at how the elves ran into the cave, you'd think, 'The trap is set in the cave'. Maybe he's trying hard to figure out how to attack that cave by now."

In fact, "what was gathered in the square in front of that entrance is itself a trap".

With all that solidification, even my magic will be easy to overhaul, and the elves' bows and arrows and magical intensive fire will be fine.

"But this is not a win. Conditions of victory are 'not to let the enemy escape as one' and, above all, 'to destroy the enemy without causing any damage to one or more of his allies'. From here it becomes a battle of pure power and moves. Don't get distracted, Lefania."

"Ugh, yeah, of course.... but that's strange, it was supposed to be a desperate battle with us...?

That's what Lefania said, tilting her neck wonderfully.
