Because magic engineering skills are so difficult to train your proficiency increases steadily even if you only produce one rare grade item. From the higher levels onwards each and every one is truly a useful tool.

Based on the scenario if you have created two or three legendary grade magical engineering supplies before clearing you have trained quite diligently.

That’s how great the status of legendary grade magical engineering supplies is. Because each material is difficult to obtain and the amount of labor required is enormous people with some experience do not hastily invest in magic engineering.

“I think I got a lot out of this... !”

I packed in as many scrolls as I could and ran toward the lab exit with Lucy on my back.

Once you’ve breached the Soul Library the rest is easy. The enemies guarding the route leading up to the underground waterway exit are mostly light monsters. They are not even subjects of research so even after they escape researchers do not bother to capture them.

Anyway his physical strength is trained to the point where he can’t be defeated even if a decent number of men are present. Carrying Lucy on his back he ran through the monster tribe and blasted enemies blocking his path with elemental magic.

– Quang! bang!

I crossed the marble-paved hallway ran between the numerous forks and ran toward the exit without hesitation.

– Crumbling!

– Kaaaaagh!

Vampire bats hanging at the end of a ceiling so high that they couldn’t even be seen. They all spread their wings and glide.

It looks at me then lets out a cry of joy that it has found a new prey and lunges at me mercilessly trying to sink its teeth into my skin.

– Grumble.

Needless to say everything was burned and roasted.

Even the bizarre-looking test subjects and the escaped gremlins and other monsters were no match for me.

At the beginning of the first semester I didn’t know that even basic magic would be different but now that the second semester is coming to an end I am no match for any low-level monster race. I have been disciplined by maintaining a truly ridiculous lifestyle.

[Proficiency in elemental magic has increased. ]

[The proficiency in magic sensitivity has increased. ]

Should I say that it is the true taste of hunting? Experience bombs unique to the monster race poured down. I’m sorry Tailly... ! I’ll just eat a little... !

Still I almost reached the exit without touching any monsters as much as possible.

As I was sprinting like crazy a huge iron gate came into view.

From the inside it looks like a majestic large iron gate but from the outside it looks like nothing more than a stone wall. This is because it must have been hidden through camouflage magic.

If you open this door and go outside it leads to an underground waterway. Of course you can’t just open it. The door can only be opened by using code-breaking magic shared among those who know the existence of this laboratory.

If you can’t decipher it you have to destroy it entirely.

Taily might be able to cut through the entire door using his swordsmanship but at least I don’t have that talent.

Originally I was planning to hide around here and sneak out through the open exit when Tailly enters. But I don’t think I can afford that right now.

Anyway I have the master key now. I pinched and pulled Lucy’s cheek who was breathing hard behind her back.

Lucy woke up with her glutinous rice cake-like cheeks hanging down.

* ‘Are you ready for battle...? ?’

An enormous flow of mana spreads and flows through the passage of the waterway.

Lortel Kecheln could sense that something had happened on Yenica’s side. He wondered if he had encountered a demonic golem wandering around the underground waterway but a low-level demonic golem was not an opponent capable of raising this level of magical power.

Lortel himself encountered a few demonic golems while walking through the underground waterway but they were difficult because they did not have direct magical power and they were not very powerful opponents. He could easily be defeated by destroying the inner wall through magic and using external physical force.

Lortel Kecheln has faced Yenika at her best during joint combat training.

No matter how many senior members attack there is almost no one unless they are a member of the faculty who can overpower Yenika who does her best.

Moreover if it’s first-year students it’s not worth discussing any further.

But no matter what time seems to be dragging on. I don’t know what’s going on but if something goes wrong and the search for Ed is being disrupted... For Lortel this is an opportunity in its own way.

In fact Lortel caught a clue leading to a secret laboratory inside the underground waterway.

‘There’s a cover spell cast somewhere around here.’

Lortel is so sensitive to magical power that even Professor Glast acknowledged it and assigned him to Class A.

The magic response within a radius of a few meters is never missed no matter how small it may be. Yenika who has specialized senses for spirit magic would inevitably be a bit dull in this area.

There is probably an entrance to a more secretly hidden facility somewhere around here.

Otherwise this spinning structure cannot be explained. No matter how hard you try to find your way this structure keeps you spinning in place and cannot even function properly as a waterway in the first place.

Although the name is an underground waterway it is clear that it is a facility that only imitates an underground waterway and has a different purpose.

‘okay... Not when you’re just saying nice things... ‘

Suddenly Lortel looked down at his reflection in the water.

Hair neatly combed to look as shiny as possible. Thanks to that calm reddish-brown color the beauty of skin like jade is emphasized. The blue rose-shaped hairpin worn as an accent to make it look even a little more stylish or the semi-robe with a gold border... This girl is really dressed up like she’s going out on a date.

She seems like a romantic girl who likes to talk but after coming to a place like this she turns out to be immature.

Lortel took a deep breath took out the hairpin and let down her hair. Then he took his string out of his school uniform pocket and tied it down on one side as usual. He put back on the robe hat he was not wearing for fear of it messing up his hair took off his expensive jewelry and stuffed it into his pocket.

Although he is somewhat plain he seems to have returned to his usual strong self. Lortel nodded his head and flexed his arm.

I want to look good but anyway we are in a clear crisis situation.

Just because you don’t want to lose to your enemy you can’t put the life of a loved one in the balance.

I have lived my whole life weighing all values but in the end there are definitely some things that should never be weighed.

I have no doubt that what that is is the standard for judging a person’s worth.

After thinking about it that much Lortel became worried about Ed.

Ed Rothtaylor is a mysterious person who feels like he will somehow solve any crisis that comes his way. Because of Ed’s heavy and trustworthy image the sense of crisis was somewhat worn away.

However we should not rely on such ‘feelings’ to forget the seriousness of the situation.

Professor Glast is a very meticulous person.

If he was kidnapped by someone like that Ed wouldn’t be in a good mood.

It is certain that he is trapped somewhere and in trouble.

Embarrassment perplexity trouble crisis. Even people who seem to be closed off to such words are likely to really just want help at this point.

I am shocked and my nose is stuffed that he would now ask for something like this considering how much he has given me so far just for his love. There is a degree to which people are viewed as thugs. No matter how cold the world of mourning and mourning makes you unaccustomed to the pounding of love when you get to this point you distinguish between merit and life. That was a professional that was a merchant.

Lortel swallowed his breath tightened his throat and looked straight at Ed. And speak confidently in as cold a tone as possible. Senior Ed no matter what I think this has crossed the line.

“... “Do you also need a receipt?”

I’m a fanatic... !!!

“I have a report!”

It was around this time that Lortel was sighing with an empty face as if he had let go of something.

While Ed and I were talking about parchment a man came running in from the other side of the canal.

A human with no special fighting ability came down directly through a dangerous underground waterway. The sight of them rushing through the water looked very urgent.

*

bright. There shouldn’t be any light source in this underground waterway.

If we look for the source of that light it is all kinds of elemental spirits in various forms.

Fire water wind earth grass ice.

Eagle rabbit lion wolf sparrow lizard.

There are so many different types of elements and animals that it is impossible to even recite them one by one. However it can be defined as a single colony. This is the spirit army of Yenica Palover.

One man army.

The number of spirits realized solely through Yenica Palover’s sensitivity alone... No matter how many times you fold and unfold the fingers of both hands you will never be able to count them all.

One high-ranking spirit four middle-ranking spirits and hundreds of low-ranking spirits.

Among the spirits a girl was adjusting her skirt while holding an oak staff diagonally.

Although he appears to be standing casually with his collar fluttering he is clearly under the protection of numerous spirits. You probably won’t even be able to get close to it.

At this point Tailley is not an opponent he can beat.

I realized that fact again and again. Tailly also had no choice but to admit it.

If there was no reason to fight Tailly would have admitted defeat and backed down.

But there is a reason to fight. We must save Ayla.

I would risk my life hundreds of times to save Ayla my one and only life partner.

“What is it? Why is the atmosphere like this?”

Ziggs looked at Yenika and Tailley in turn with a puzzled expression.

Tailly and Elvira who are imprinted with fear of Yenica Palover are already ready for battle as soon as they see its face.

The fallen Dorothy and the destroyed demonic golems. Assistant Professor Claire who fainted etc. Based on other circumstantial evidence it seems certain that Yenika is carrying out some kind of destructive activity.

A place in a closed environment with no witnesses. It may have been a reasonable decision to be hostile but Ziggs and Adele tilted their heads.

Yenika has a stronger image as an innocent girl who is loved by all the bachelors.

It’s natural that you don’t understand the sight of Tailly and Elvira shaking in fear.

“What’s wrong Taily! calm down!

Even if they are hostile to begin with it is not an opponent worth defeating.

You shouldn’t be fooled by her small size and cute appearance and hesitant and kind personality and become hostile towards that girl.

Ziggs knows this well having fought alongside Yenika during the Occupation of Ophilis Hall. I just felt lucky that we were allies.

Even if all the first-year members rush in together there is absolutely no guarantee that they will be able to beat Yenika. There is no benefit in losing power unnecessarily.

If a problem can be resolved with words it is best to do so with words.

The reason why Yenica Palover summoned all the spirits and entered a battle stance in the first place was probably in response to the hostile attitude of Tailley and the others.

Due to Yenika’s personality it is more likely that she has no will to fight.

This was the moment when Ziggs who thought it would be right for him to intervene was about to raise his voice.

“Leave it at that.”

A familiar voice was heard from the passage on the west side of the underground waterway.

Tailley’s group and Yenika’s eyes focused on that.

A blond boy appeared through the darkness of the passageway carrying a small wizard girl on his back. His clothes were a little tattered and he had quite a few scratches here and there on his body.

“Ed-!”

“Ed Rosstaylor... !”

The boy’s name was called twice.

Jenica called that name with a relaxed expression as if a flower was blooming brightly.

Tailly... The name was called in a low repeating voice.

Elvira looked at Ed with cold gaze and quickly grasped the situation.

The person who appeared behind Ed was Lortel Kecheln one of the three members of Class 1-A and the real power of Elte Company.

The girl on his back is Lucy Merill a rare genius wizard who is said to have no one to match.

“Ed! Ed! are you okay! “Are you hurt anywhere?!”

Turning to Yenika who was running around calling out to Ed Ed nodded that he was okay and added that he was grateful for her concern.

Ed walked straight into the center of the hall stood next to Yenika and looked straight at Tailley and the others.

Taylor Ziggs Elvira Clevious Adele.

Among the first year students called Star Wars Tailley and his group were treated as aces.

However Tailly had no choice but to swallow dry saliva. He begins to tighten his grip on the sword.

If you look at the group across from you centered around Ed... Even taking a deep breath makes me nervous.

Ed Yenica Lortel and Lucy.

Even if Tailley and his group boast of their mighty force there is too much of a difference in power against them.

If they become hostile... If there’s a situation where we really have to fight does that mean we have to charge against that ridiculous wall?

“Taylor.”

Elvira called Tailley’s name in a low voice. The implied meaning is as follows.

This needs to be retreated.

Elvira has already realized what Ed’s fighting style is.

Ed’s battle is closer to that of a stratagem rather than a wizard.

I have a record of single-handedly defeating three people whose specs were far different just by barely knowing how to use basic magic and a little bit of a bow.

If a person like that has three colleagues with that level of power... If we even arrived first and had time to coordinate the battlefield... Victory converges to 0. You can never win.

No matter how precious Ayla is it is not wise to rush into an enemy that has no chance of victory.

If Ed blocks the road you will never be able to break through.

“Taylor.”

Ed was the first to break the tense silence.

Ed quietly called Tailley’s name and felt relieved. It’s barely too late.

I drove back from the deepest part of the secret laboratory and finally arrived at the intersection with Tailly who was now starting to drive straight.

From now on it is baton touch. Coincidentally Ed still had work left to do.

The occupation of Ophilis Hall and the battle for the wise man’s seal.

As the story progressed there were still variables that were not completely resolved.

Now he has completely left the stage and any further intervention will only be a hindrance...

There was absolutely no need to deal with them and they were merely objects of subjugation.

“Ayla is waiting for you.”

Ed said that in a quiet voice.

It was time to cross this intersection and go do what we had to do.

Go catch Glast Taily.

I’m going to get Elte.
