Chapter 68.3. The First Year at the Academy – Invisible Mansion 2 (3)

I ducked my Indigo Cloak and jumped off the roof.

I turned my attention to the night street, made sure no one was watching me, and entered the alley.

"I didn't expect you to use attack magic for measurement."

Elphimia's voice came from the darkness.

That night, we had come to the middle section of the city, close to the south gate.

The common flying distance of bolt systems is about fifty meters.

If I shoot at the outer wall from the magic reach point. I can measure the distance.

And if I were misidentified by the invisible mansion, I would reach the wall more often than the other rows, or if I reached it, it would be just barely more than the others.

The only sounds reaching our ears were the sounds of life and pedestrians' shoes.

There were no sounds or signs of people rushing toward us.

"I used magic in the city, but people don't seem to notice it."

"Of course not. This is Selene, remember? It doesn't matter where you use magic, and no one is invoking "Magic Search" for no reason in the first place."

If you ask me, that is true.

It was "Wind Bolt" I activated on the roof.

"Wind Bolt" lacks physical attack power. Furthermore, since I kept its magic power to a minimum, it was only powerful enough to hit a lump of air.

Since it was weak and invisible, there was a little chance people detected it. Even if it was discovered, as long as people didn't see me on the roof. I planned to push through with my magical practice. If they saw me – I would run away as fast as I could.

"Let's move on. We've only just started."

The wind arrow flies between the roof and the dark sky.

It reached its limit and disappeared into the void.

Is that house next?

Even though I couldn't see it, I could sense where the bolt system flew to.

So when they are deflected or obstructed, I feel something is wrong, but this ward deceives me too. I think this magic is a joke.

The investigation continued, after the seventh time. The "Wind Bolt" crashed into the wall.

The last flying distance is about half the distance, which is the benchmark for all of this.

If the magic doesn't reach them even after seven times, or if there is a distance gap, it's Elphimia's turn.

We turned back, shifted our position, and resumed our investigation.

Then, after midnight, I stopped the investigation when I completed the eighth row.

Elphimia was reluctant, but my magic power was depleted. If possible, I would like to leave some spare time. Besides, Elphimia could not use wind magic, so she could not take my place. It was time to call it a night.

I walked Elphimia back to the inn and watched her from the shadows.

"Ah, welcome back. I was worried you were late, remember?"

Not long after she knocked on the door, she was greeted by a well-dressed old lady.

Hearing Elphimia's apology, she invited her into the inn.

She probably meant to be worried, but she also looked a little annoyed.

I guess I'd better move up my time a bit.
