Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku

Outside Prohibited Zone

"Now, let's get down to business."

"I see. First of all, there are some geological phenomena everywhere that cannot be explained by the fluctuations in the crust. There and there."

Teacher Elaine pointed out her notes.

"This is where we can see it right now. That's where MeteoMeteoMetal was found, but we know geologically that MeteoMeteoMetal affects the surrounding environment. Of course, it's not all of them, but it's all of them. Or it could have affected the environment over the years."

Hmm, Ars roared half-heartedly. The natural environment of the outside world is already unimaginable. Until now, the effects of human disappearance and magic concentration have been highly regarded. Nevertheless, in fact, there is no basis whatsoever for not leaving the area of speculation.

First of all, consider the story of Ms. Elaine as a precondition.

In response to her explanation, Arus pointed his finger towards the end of the map.

"This is where I found it."

It was a map covering a vast area, but Ars' location was quite far away.

"I don't have that kind of data. Anyway, no magician has traveled that far."

Less surprised, Teacher Elaine shouts.

It is now more frequent to send investigative teams to the outside world, but it should have been quite a limited survey at the time.

I suppose we're guessing the geology of the past based on those data.

Unusual environmental changes in the outside world should be causing significant geological anomalies, not just in plants and animals. It's not that easy to guess... but maybe it's as deep as she says.

It was Ars, who was not a specialist, but there was a lot I didn't know.

"I'd like to hear more about it, but let's make it another opportunity. And the next place I put my eye star..."

She puts up some pins on the map.

One location on the alpha side. Others show the exclusive spheres of governance of each country. All of them were unlikely to reach the travel distance of other countries.

It may be in a place that other countries cannot grasp, or it may be in close proximity that they are investigating.

"Isn't this place stuck in the Alpha just passing by some squad? It's not that far away."

I wonder if Loki is still looking at the old map.

Even alpha, which has a lot of progress in the outside world, does not naturally cover everything, and some safety routes have been secured. There is no need to investigate more closely.

"This is the place, right there."

"Al, where is it? It's hard to tell from this map."

"That's what I want to hear. It's not like I've actually been out there before, but it's for data collection, so it's enough to count."

"Among magicians, it's also called the Eve Rabbit - the abducted Shenzhou."

"This is it....."

It's a nickname among magicians, so it's like a snitch.

Teacher Elaine roared with a small, difficult face. It's an eyesight that seems to have holes in the map.

Loki also wrinkled between her eyebrows, and once her thoughts were rewinding, she explained to Alice that she was confused.

"Alice, it is said that there are no high-rate monsters here, but ordinary magicians avoid this place and proceed to the outside world. Of course, there are exceptions, but we can't go around the detour."

Having listened to the three conversations in silence, Alice finally opened her mouth here and answered the question she had hesitated to anticipate.

"Um, is that Nande?

It was a strange word of nuance to wonder if she was nervous or had any other questions.

Seriously, perhaps it is because some of her doubts have not been resolved.

Whatever.

"This is the place, right? The terrain and the trees are weird, which may not be a good way to put it, but they are. Animals rarely see each other. The ground is rough and uneven like waves, and the trees are all weird and the march speed is slow."

"Waste of passing through?

It was Ars who answered this.

"Yes, but somehow there's too much magic penetrating the trees. The location is too bad for the magician who needs to detect it, and above all, it will encroach on Lusarca's exclusive dominance. The upper layer is not recommended. Especially when you miss a monster."

It seems that Alice was told that it was a troublesome place from the story. Her tight cheeks were erasing her soft atmosphere.

Alice's inability to blend in is probably due to information she doesn't know. I can't help feeling sorry for standing up like a soldier outside a mosquito net.

Let's start with that.

"What do you mean, Doctor? As Al said, it is true that magicians are usually very close."

Loki's question mark is big. Anyway, the natural part of the outside world is no longer transformed into a heterogeneous level. Some plants grow flowers in winter, while others wither out in summer. Perhaps the ecosystem is more than a monster.

Especially the fact that magicians are not uncommon. Its adaptability will only fly with the screws on its head and it can no longer be accepted.

"We should also consider the local causes of these deteriorations —— the metallurgical relationship. Above all, this is a place where anomalies have been observed for a long time."

Teacher Elaine points to the old map. There you can read thin printed characters.

"This is kind of a jargon. I mean, it's an unexplained observation."

As she instructed, Arus and the others decided to investigate the abduction of Shenzhou (Eve Rabbit). It's not too far from Alpha, so if you can carry it well, you'll be able to come back the same day.

Perhaps it is a basis that is not worthy of such an investigation. There are procedures for going out.

At least the salvation will be Alice and Tesfia training. I just wanted to start over from Ars. Last time, Ars was still inexperienced - no, that's an excuse. To be precise, I was just more cowardly than they were.

I can't help feeling the fear of dying in front of my eyes. Especially for the two I've known since I came to the academy....

That's why we need you to do more.

Therefore, training in the outside world is an unavoidable task.
