Episode 117: In a Quiet Cave

Students always had to be desperate and ready in Largia's class.

Even students who need a lot of previews and can't follow them will be relentless.

As a result, the students always attended classes while becoming hectic.

Sometimes today they actually do architectural magic tricks, and the students were already completely exhausted before class because they ran around to procure building materials until class time was critical.

In it, Lynn and Illyweer were able to attend classes relatively sparingly.

"You were worth exploring the woods early."

"Yeah, I think I can afford it for class."

Radziya shows up in the classroom while the two of them are gently bickering.

"Today, as I said in advance, do the practical moves. Make a pair of them all."

A little nervousness ran into the classroom when Largya said so.

Everyone runs their eyes left and right, aware of their identities.

Nevertheless, most students attending classes are generally unconnected and combined with those who belong to an identity closer to them because of their aristocratic class.

Lynn was somewhat in a hurry.

I didn't know who to work with.

Theo was in this classroom too, but his seat was a little away.

"Bye, Lynn. Shall we put it together?"

That's what Illyweer tells me.

"Huh? Is that okay?

"Yes, because Aisha works with Herd"

"Let's not. I can't help it, so I'll put you together."

"Hi."

Aisha and Held start working together as if they were less than full.

Architectural magic classes use a magic item called 'Compression Bottle'.

The bottle is about 1 metre tall and about 50 cm in diameter, but the objects put in it can be freely controlled to scale from their normal size, so you can build a house in the bottle and submit it as an assignment.

"Then the challenge of the day is the Temple. as submitted by placing a temple in a compression bottle. The foundation uses soil and cement, and the material of the pillars…"

Radziya begins to verbalize the main points of the assignment without even checking whether the distributed design documents have gone to all the students.

In spite of the class, there was no problem with the convenience of the students.

The students made desperate notes on the main points.

"As submitted by those who could. I don't think anyone who can't submit in time can get credit."

The students were gnawed.

Be more tenacious than everyone else.

That was impatient.

The students hurry to throw the dirt demon stones and cement demon stones into the bottle, arouse them inside, unfold them, and then manipulate them with canes to shape them.

Lynn also hurried to start work on the distributed design document with one hand.

(The temple is about 70 meters high. The length of the bottle is 1 meter, so can the scale be one hundredth)

"Erm. First pour soil and cement into the bottle..."

"Lynn. First we have to make sure the foundation is resistant"

"Oh, well. Because the temple is made of stone..."

"Weak foundations threaten to collapse. We may need to get the earth spirits to consolidate the foundation."

"Yeah. We don't have earthy spirits."

It's over there.

"Oh, really."

Illyweer was right. There was a lamp in the corner of the classroom that trapped the Spirit, and the discerning students were already in the process of finding it.

I'll get it.

"Then also fetch the Spirit of Water. It's going to need to get rid of the moisture."

By the time Lynn reached the lamp storage area, fortunately the lamp of the earthy spirits and the water spirits remained.

But there's never enough.

It won't go to the whole class.

(Then some people can't complete the challenge...)

Lynn glanced at Largya.

He was reading about the desperation of the students and how the wind was blowing.

I didn't think I was going to add a lamp or anything.

(Does that mean you're not going to give credit to everyone)

When Lynn returned with the lamp, he rushed further than earlier to tackle the challenge.

"Mr. Illyweer. It's the Spirit of earth and the Spirit of water."

"Thank you. So let's start architecture."

Illyweer had finished her visit by the time Lynn got it.

Necessary demonic stones and magic props are arranged neatly on the desk.

"Yes."

Lynn hurries to throw earthy demon stones and cement demon stones into the bottle to arouse them.

At the bottom of the bottle, brown and gray grains mix to form the foundation of the building.

"Okay. Then you're going to put up a stone column."

Lynn tries to throw the limestone demon stone into the bottle.

"Lynn. We need to mark it first. Without the landmarks, you won't know where to put the pillars."

"Oh, well. Don't. Don't."

"Erm, because it's a hundredth scale... the spacing of the columns..."

Lynn sends the light of the ring into the bottle and roughly draws the line of the building.

"! narrower than I thought!?

"Yeah. At this minute, the building will flash from the foundation. Make the scale smaller. And the foundation still needs considerable strength. You were right to prepare the Spirit of the earth."

"Okay."

Lynn changes the scale and puts the earth and cement demon stones in the bottle to widen the foundation.

"That's it. Then now it's time to put up the pillars. Throw in the limestone demon stone..."

"Lynn. We need to get the dwarf in before we do. It's too late to put it in position later."

"Ah. Go."

(I knew it wasn't what I learned in class and what I actually do. I think I know the procedure. I really get chased by time and in a hurry)

Lynn throws a midget for hard work into the bottle.

A miniature-sized dwarf appears in the bottle.

I put them on the placement and then finally threw in the limestone demon stone.

The demonic stone shines and crushes, and a reduced size limestone appears.

Lynn manipulates the wand to direct it to the machining space inside, making limestone columnar with "Mass Magic" and "Metallurgical Magic".

Illyweer watched Lynn work sideways and told me every time I was about to make a mistake.

I should have been able to do it myself faster, but it kept me pace with Lynn.

(You've spent too much time on the foundation. Can you make it by the end of class?

Lynn was in a hurry.

People around me are already in the finish.

"Lynn. Let's pace it up. It's a shift."

Illyweer said.

He seemed relaxed and paced exactly.

Until now, I have been thorough in Lynn's supporting role, but I will change roles.

"I'll go. Stone for the wall."

Lynn picks the demon stone and throws it in the bottle as instructed by Illyweer.

Illyweer arouses and shapes the Demon Stone in an instant.

(! Fast......)

"Next, the stone on the roof."

Illyweer said a little sharply.

The action of throwing in phosphorus demon stones also becomes natural and quick.

Illyweer instantly assembles the building.

By the end of the class, there were bright-faced and dark-faced students in the classroom.

The students' expressions were clearly divided between a group that had completed the assignment and a group that could not be completed.

"Phew. You managed to make it."

"Hehe. Thank you very much."

The two had managed to submit their assignments in time.

"Thank you. Thanks to Mr. Illyweer, we've managed."

"No, only because you helped me."

In fact, the submissions made by Lynn and Illyweer were excellent in the classroom.

The others hurriedly threw in demonic stones, which had not been properly marked, the foundation had collapsed, and the building had collapsed.

"Why not? Sir!"

The voice someone was screaming echoed into the classroom.

When I saw it, Roark was protesting Radhya.

"Let me start over. Then we can do it right next time."

His submission was terrible.

The columns fall, the walls peel off, and the roof is crooked.

It's hard to say it's a fine temple to flatter, not very much, but it's unlikely to be highly regarded.

"I thought you said I was made in this time. If you want to start over, do it on your own outside the class. I'm not going to accept this out-of-class submission."

"But..."

"Or something? You think you're dissatisfied with my class policy? Then you should not participate anymore. I didn't say a word about not being able to join me."

"Oh no..."

"Hey, Roark. Keep it around there."

Shuarier forgived Roark.

"Gu."

That's right. He's from the country, too. He can't help but back off if he's talked to someone higher than himself.

Lynn shows up in Furoke's sight.

Roark saw Illyweer next to Lynn with him and guessed that the two paired up.

And that Lynn would score high by Illywia's whimsy.

Roark quickly left the classroom wondering if he had blued his face.

For him now, Lynn was the subject of feeling inferior even if it existed alone.

"Hey, wait, Roark"

Lados' quartet leaves the classroom with a bummer.

There was somehow a bad aftertaste in the classroom.

Lynn is also drawn to the atmosphere.

"There's nothing you can do about it."

Illyweer spoke to Lynn that way.

"Let's go hunting today."

Illyweer said as she pointed her bottomless smile at Lynn.

That was enough to shake off the temporarily darkened classroom atmosphere.

Largya assessed all submissions and the class was over.

The Forest of the Warcraft was still today extremely colorful and gleaming, as if it were intimidating the intruders.

The Warcraft lurking in the woods are waiting by hand to set the Wizards they seek to explore in their traps.

"I'll take you to where I keep you today."

Illyweer said as he rode the griffon and flew over the woods.

"A place to keep it?

"Yeah. Almost there."

When Illyweer says so, he manipulates Griffon's guidelines to set the direction of travel.

I headed out of the woods like never before.

It was the entrance to the cave that we reached.

It was the only strangely quiet part of the woods that always made me feel dangerous.

The poisonous bug that always attacks Lynn doesn't even show up and the ring never glows.

"What is this place?

"It's a place where very good spirits come together"

Two and one dive inside.

When Lynn entered the cave, the spirits were overflowing.

Then the Spirit walks over, and after passing by, the light of magic strikes its tail like a shadow.

"Wow."

Lynn cheers unexpectedly.

"Everyone here is an intermediate level spirits. Maybe some spirits will sign with you. I'm graduating soon, and it's time for you to follow the Spirit."

"Yes."

Lynn tried to communicate by speaking to every spiritual person.

Some spirits have been interested in Lynn and have spoken to her.

Some spirits were positive when I told them I wanted to make a contract.

Among them, pumpkin-headed spirits (lanterns) and water dog spirits (water reapers) showed exceptional favor.

The pumpkin-headed spirits (lanterns) illuminate phosphorus with the lamp lights in their hands.

The Spirit of the Water Dog (Water Reaper) gave out a tongue made of water and licked Lynn's cheek around.

But that was it.

The spirits here were stiff.

It doesn't get to the contract.

said the spirits.

I can't judge you right away.

Because I don't really understand you.

I want to take the time to get to know each other.

Lynn acknowledged.

She was even hotter when it came to Illyweer.

He appealed to her from the spirits, hoping to make an immediate covenant with her.

Lynn smiled bitterly.

This is what she looked like everywhere she said.

When she shows Silf to the spirits, the spirits disappoint or shy away from Illywia.

Even if the cave spirits bundle up, they won't be any match for Silf.

Lynn sits on a comfortable rock in a cave with Illyweer.

"What do you say? Looks like you can make a deal with the Spirit?

"The Spirit of Fire (Lantern) and the Spirit of Water (Water Reaper) showed interest. It just didn't get to the contract..."

"They see your talent. If you reach the height of the tower with your magic guide, you can become a superior spirit."

"I see. So why don't you sign me a contract"

"We can't help it at first. The spirits are cautious. You need to talk sticky. To know what they want, what you want."

"Yes."

Lynn and Ilyweer relaxed in the cave for a while.

The light of the Spirit descends brightly in the dark temple, poured out of the heads of the two of them.

Lynn feels so good and quiet.

I was going to fall asleep.

"Sounds kind of good"

"It's full of spiritual magic."

"Right. Because the magic of the Spirit heals our hearts."

"Yeah. That's what I'm talking about"

Lynn has been worried about time.

How long will it be now?

"Mr. Illyweer. It's time to go home before the tea party kicks off."

That's what I said and tried to get up, Lynn, but Illyweer pulls her sleeve and makes her sit on the spot.

"Mr. Illyweer?

"Isn't that good? Let's stay here a little longer."

"... right"

I wondered if Lynn could stay here on the inside, but I'm sure if that's what Illyweer would say.

I decided to think so.

The two stayed cozy as they leaned in and breathed the air of a cave filled with the magic of the spirits.

That was time to make me forget the annoyance of the world.

The two rode home on a griffon after spending more time in the cave than planned.

By the time they returned along the path they had come through the forest sky, the sun was completely down and the book of the night was starting to fall.

Lynn sees how Illyweer is relaxed and decides that she will be consulted on this.

"I need to talk to that Mr. Illywee..."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Actually, I was stuck in my activities as a civilian I've talked about before. I was wondering if you could help me..."

"What is it?

"I would be glad if you participated in a meeting of the civilian..."

"Contact Duke first. I can't judge you."

(Grunts. Did you get well?)

I didn't think I'd get recognition for saying it to a hard-headed Duke.

(Boulders are royal. You're used to taking no trouble)

"Nevertheless..."

Illyweer sighed a little shuddered by the boulder.

"You're restless, too. If you think you took part in the Magic Leadership competition, now political activity. Where the hell are you headed?

"I have a little time left to be a student. I want to try out all the possibilities."

"I said I did... hey"

Illyweer looked far trying to get out of sight.

"Ah, that tree"

Lynn said suddenly.

"? What is it?

"Similar to 'Ent Tree'..."

"Sure. Maybe there's a Hecaton Cale nearby."

"We'll definitely go next time. I need it for airship materials."

"If you say so, why is it an airship? You can't operate on a tower without a lighthouse or a harbor that makes you belong to us, can you?

"Pfft. Actually, I have a knob."

Lynn started talking again by showing off her example of looking good in front of Illyweer.

"Hmm. What is Tute?

Illyweer heard things like joking.

"I can't go into the details, but I know a 500 hierarchical class magician, and she told me. that the plan to build a new lighthouse is lifting."

(Her?)

Illyweer's lid moved slightly pickly.

Lynn didn't realize that.

"I wanted to bite one of those plans, too. I also have a promise attached to her. So while I'm at it, I'll be studying airships."

"Hmm. Really?"

Illyweer said nasty.

"What will you do next week? I'd like to go as far as the red zone if possible......"

"I don't know. I have an appointment with Herd next week."

Illyweer said in a stubborn manner.

"Mr. Illyweer? Wow."

The griffon suddenly accelerates, cutting the wind and starting to fly.

Lynn had to cling to Illyweer's back to avoid being shaken down.
