My name is Via. Having graduated from the traditional Royal Academy of Aureitas Sorcery, I have managed to earn my living as an adventurer at Audrey's invitation.

That's who we are, but at some request, we're coming down the street to the Empire. But maybe we're looking at a miracle.

"Alisa, is this really" freeze "?"

"Certainly the chant was an arrangement of" freezes ". But it wasn't normal. It was magic power and magic control."

"Yes, you were aware. Grimm, what about you?

"I have trouble being asked about witchcraft. But it's not normal."

Instead of Audrey's usual prolonged tone, he talks to members of the "Grimm" in sharp questioning terms.

It's troublesome to see this scene with two Little guys, but I guess they were right to leave us tired in daytime combat training while we were both diving into our tents after dinner.

"Via, what do you think of this?

"You're in a state of temporary death. I don't think it's a goblin that's been ice pickled for 10 days."

"What about Emily?

"I agree. This state of temporary death is also probably a side effect."

Goblin's body is right in front of us. No, I'm still in a state of provisional death, so it might be a little early to rate it as a corpse. In the daytime, when I dismantled it, I made it look like it was hidden.

Saying it was icy for about 10 days, but it didn't look like it broke on the body itself, and probably if I left it like this for a whole day, I'd put this goblin out as if nothing had happened.

"In the end, what's the meaning of this?

"Well, there's only one that can form this. It's magic."

"" Wha!?

"I knew..."

Audrey presents one hypothesis to Grimhardt's question. The face of "Grimm" is surprising, but only Alisa, the sorcerer, seems to be convinced of it.

Limiting magic, which is literally the polar point of arrival of the water attribute with the magic of manipulating time. Just as water flows from top to bottom, time is constantly flowing from past to future. If you manipulate the water and manipulate the flow, it can also keep time and reverse it.

Most of all, there are only three people in the history of this long kingdom of Aureitas who have been able to lead to the magic of the Incarnation. There is only one existing user of the limiting magic, the Wise One of the Twelve Wise Crabs.

That could have been used here, so I can't help but be surprised by the "Grimm" face. To be honest, even I don't believe what's happening in front of me.

"So the Alliance Master didn't see it wrong."

"Well, at least you're sure you're a wizard."

Magic is created to imitate magic and be used by everyone. It was created by old researchers to examine how magical phenomena occur. Still, researchers are desperately creating new sorcery, but naturally many things have not been reproduced by sorcery.

One of them is limiting magic. Sometimes magic itself is complicated, but the main reason why research has not progressed is that it is difficult for other than the operator to recognize the phenomenon that he said manipulates time.

If that were available, it would naturally mean that Lily is a wizard. The phenomenon itself seems to be frozen magic, but both frozen and engraved magic are things that lie ahead of the water attribute.

There is something in Little that has not been notified of this request. Confidential request requested only for "Grimm" and "Fine". It's an investigation into whether Lily is a wizard and a confirmation of her prowess.

Because Lily is apparently trying to hide that she can use magic herself. But his public ignorance seems genuine, and to the extent that he wants to ask if he is really willing to hide what he does on a flashy basis.

I don't really think it's magic, even if it's all sorts of soothing, thanks to the fact that it is recognized that something worldly called a wizard is a fairy tale in itself.

But people like us who go to college or know the existence of a wizard like a guild master will soon find out. Alisa seemed to have noticed, but she must have had a chance to become involved with the wizard, too.

"So, what do we do?

"In the meantime, let's act squad wise, not party-by-party, for tomorrow's investigation. Via, can you do me a favor?

"Yes, of course. You want me to record it with my recording magic, right?

"Yeah, please."

My specialty in magic is exploration and recording. I was treated like a fallout because strength is seen as sacred in the college. But as an adventurer, I've been noticed by Audrey since I left college.

It is a recording magic that must always be deployed, but that would be fine if only to mislead because exploratory magic is the same.

"What's the reason for splitting the squad?

"Well, why don't you use the number of people? If we get Via out of there alone, we can have exactly three parties for four."

"Then Jarvis... that's hard. Gray, can you do it?"

"I find it disturbing to fool a benefactor. Okay, if that's the decision of the leader, we'll follow."

"Hard work"

"Er I Ha!?

"If you fall out, there will be no magicians over here!!

"Bu... I wish Risha would learn magic"

"You're not going to say anything unscrupulous."

Good, I almost couldn't breathe when I was in the same squad as that silent Jarvis. Even though it's just an unwilling job to trick juniors into watching them to protect them, I'm more than sorry.

I have to make sure that kid's serious tomorrow. Depending on how... I hope she never goes to the college where she lives. I seriously thought so, but I just had to look at the tent where that kid was supposed to be resting.
