“I'm not going, I'm not going!”
Well, without saying that, let's gather it up quickly!
I have no idea what you're talking about.You're in an irrelevant position just like me, aren't you?
Pushed by Citri's back, he headed for the central tower, which was still in shape, inside the burnt-out school building.
On the vast site, the black world tree burned like snow, and the wizards of the academy were holed up in it.
Perhaps the effects of the [Abyssal Flame Extinguishment] attack were still there, and the temperature had risen considerably.Just walking makes me sweat.
... isn't this environmental destruction?Well, surely I've got it all figured out, I won!I thought--it was terrifying to burn down that giant tree with a single blow that didn't work when sporadically attacked by a bunch of mages.
If Citrix weren't here, she'd pretend she didn't know anything and go back to the Clan House... what would it be like to be serious if she had a member of the [Ghost of Mourning]?
While completely losing his motivation, he walked with his back pressed, and the sympathetic stone in his pocket suddenly began to tremble.
Franz is a real pain in the ass, too.But, as you can see from this, the burning grandmother is much stronger and more useful than I am.
Launch and report immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Franz. The" Black World Tree "case has been solved successfully."
Huh!?... hah, hah... oh, I see, well done!
I'm sure you're making a good report, but Franz has a rough tone.
I'm not sure, but I'm going to collect it in the remaining burnt tower.
Hah!?!? Collecting!? What are you collecting!!?
That's... I don't know. That's why I'm not sure!
I casually looked up at the tower that had been partially destroyed, and looked back at the victory behind me.
Granny was commanding the members of her staff, the [Magic Wand], to gather ashes.
"Don't be alarmed!"The tree has been completely burned down, but the magic it absorbed hasn't disappeared!It wasn't just... a monster.Gather the ashes! "
His eyes shining brightly and his voice was as horrifying as an ancient witch, and his words contained strange pressure to make people obey with words alone.
As expected, level 8 in the Imperial City wasn't just about burning.
In the meantime, let's report the new information to Franz.
"... apparently, that black world tree isn't just a monster."
"I know that!!It's just a monster that suddenly appears and destroys the Magic Academy, protected by multiple junctions. Ahhhhh!! ”
Franz holds the tension a lot.When it comes to the Knights, it's a longing of the elite and all the citizens, but it doesn't seem to be as good as everyone would like to see Franz.
"The Knights are really tough."It's not our fault, but if something happens, we have to move, and there are many things to protect. "
"!?! My prediction hasn't disappeared yet!"
Mr. Franz, you look like you're in pretty bad shape.And the prediction hasn't disappeared yet.
Isn't it a time lag?I don't think it's much harder to do more damage than to destroy Zebuldia's highest school of magic.
And the ashes of the mountain were blown away, and Lucia arose from the midst of them.
When she got involved, Lucia, who was completely black, looked at me without a moment's confusion, like a magic spell, and walked towards me with a dazed face.
...... what did I do?
"I'm sorry, I'm going to hang up now that Lucia's here."
[!?! Hey! [Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Ch
Krai-san, let's go while Killkill is interrupting Lucia!
Why!?
In response to Citri's words, Kill Kill, who was following behind him, quickly stood in front of Lucia.
Lucia looked at me for a moment, but she quickly turned a much steeper gaze than before.
"Brother, shit!"
Krai-san, come on, come on!
Ah, I... I want to talk to you...!
A voice that stops me. Abyssal Fire Extinguishment 's decree.Killkill, your roar. My back was pushed with aggressiveness, and I stepped into the tower without a second thought. [M]
§
Almost no one remained in the tower because of the monster's rampage.Perhaps all the wizards went out to defeat the tree monster.
Citri pushes her back without loosening her strength, and teaches her to raise her tension.
"When it comes to the Zebuldia Magic Academy, it's a treasure pile!"After all, this is the oldest academy in the Empire, which also serves as a research institute for sorcery!Rumor has it that there are surprising treasures in the Academy's vault that hunters are sleeping in! "
Oh, that's right.
... by the way, what are you talking about?
Walk down the old, often historic hallway and up the spiral staircase to the top.All the mages in the academy are famous for flying so that no one in the academy uses them.
We've been here a long time.However, I remember the first time I visited - when Lucia came to accompany her as an apprentice.
A portrait of a famous mage from the Academy decorated with walls, and an elaborate dragon stone statue placed there.In the first place, the air you feel is clearly different from the outside, but it seems that the atmosphere of this college is imbued with the strong magical power of the faculty and students.
Lucia had an age-appropriate calm since then, but she seemed a little nervous all the time.Well, I was a hundred times nervous.
Walking in the nostalgia, I suddenly stopped being pressed against my back.
Citri says in a small, but inconceivable, voice.
"Huh? Nobody? Could it be that... we can collect the whole vault without saying one thing?Is that the plan?! "
"That's not the plan..."
It's a ridiculous word. The whole vault, it's no longer a collection, it's a thief.
Could it be that you're not Citrix, but Lizzie who cut her hair?
... no, I wouldn't mistake Citrix and Liz for a bright spot."In the first place, Liz-chan, even though I'm a [bandit (Shiff)], I don't have any desire..."
Citri's expression looked very unfortunate.At this rate, I might secretly collect something while I'm out of sight. [M]
Pull Citrix's hand and climb the stairs before you think about any more unexpected things.
"Ahhhh..."
"Come on, let's go see Lucia's teacher."
... oh? By the way, why am I going up the tower?I don't have any errands for Lucia's teacher.
Oh no. Citri's momentum is going to take hold.
I've been using the word "collection" for a while now, as a matter of course, but--hmm, I don't know.Is this a matter of rotating my head?
I want to know what's going on, but I don't even know where to start.
"I see... you mean to collect it directly from Lucia-chan's teacher!"
"... don't think that Citrix's perception is too good, it's a weakness in a way, I..."
I don't know what you're talking about because Citri is so good at guessing.Maybe my guess is too bad... but I want to go home.
The moment I sighed deeply, the magic circle shining beneath my feet unfolded suddenly.
Citrix looked around in a panic at the magic circle filled with strange characters spreading around us.
"Is this...!?"
"Ahh... it's just a call."
The first time I came with Lucia, I was in a similar magic circle.It seemed that it could only be used on the grounds of the Academy, but it seemed that it was a substitute that could force the opponent to summon the transfer magic circle.
I was in a hurry at first, but it was the second time, so I was fine.
The moment I tried to explain to the impatient Sitri, my body suddenly relaxed and I put my knee on the spot.
I don't have any strength in my hands or feet.Same situation, or Citrix falls to us like a fool.
Huh? Isn't this the magic circle before?
And without even raising my voice, my consciousness quickly disappeared.
§
When I noticed, I was sitting on a crimson carpet.
The first thing I felt was a tingling sensation on my cheeks.
Tilt your neck and look next to it.Familiar pink blonde - looks like Citrix is leaning over.Then, when I tried to move my limbs, I noticed that they were chained.
But what the-- No, it's unusual for Citri to have been unconscious longer than I am.
It's too sudden and I can't work my head.When I was thinking about it, I heard a voice.
You're finally awake, Lucia's brother.
The voice of a woman who gets a cold impression somewhere.Raise your head to a familiar voice.
Finally, his head starts to move and he begins to process the sight that has entered his sight.
It was a familiar room.
The ceilings are high and light is streaming in from the mysterious stained glass somewhere.There are bookshelves stretching from the floor to the ceiling near the walls of the room, and the windows that open between them show nothing but the sky.
Countless piles were struck on the floor as they surrounded us.Is it some kind of magic? Besides that, there were many young and old mages and wizards surrounding us.
─ ─ And in front of us, Lucia's teacher had an unfair smile on her face.
Lucia's teacher is not a pure human, headed by a professor who belongs to Zebuldia Magic Academy, the highest magic castle in the Empire.
A girl who looked just like Lucia.
Her long silver hair and golden eyes clasped out of the way behind her.I'm wearing a robe with a round silhouette that hides the lines of my body somewhere.
Even those who seemed to know nothing about her at first glance, would have felt the uncomfortable feeling of seeing her.
Lies or truths - she was a rare drawer of blood for both the 'man' and the 'spirit man' (Noble).
The flesh combines the characteristics of both humans and spirits. It's only as tall as Liz, but only the top of her ears is pointed.
Even though there are only a few Spirits living in the Imperial City, none of them speak of that person.
A miracle flower blooming in Zebuldia.One of the greatest mages in the Imperial Capital, Radrick Atom Zebuldia, was pulled out of the throne.
He who is a man and not a man. Immortal 's Sage Cluster.
Is it the death of the overwhelmingly powerful?I looked around and said hello in a hurry, feeling a sense of oppression even though I wasn't strangled.
"Oh my...... Oh, good morning, how are you?"
What the hell is going on?
Lucia's teacher tells Citrix as she passes through the confused me.
"The neighboring Sitri should also stop falling asleep."Looks like the woman Lucia told you about. "
”...... Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Citry clung to me for a moment.
I understood everything, I was convinced, I sighed.
"I see..."
She was acting like a bandit, but apparently she wasn't Lizzie.
It's just a badass sitry.Looks like today's Sitri was a bad sitri.
It's Lucia! I wish I had been caught by Lucia without Citri pushing my back! Later on in the festival.
Lucia's teacher declared in a chilled voice that she was frightened by the fact that she was no longer able to hit me and gave me a half-hearted smile.
"I will now begin the trial." Lucia's brother.You are suspected of having halved this glorious academy. [M]Do you have any arguments? "
