Chapter 105 Youll Experience It Too.
The knight who introduced herself as Vanessa devoured the food as if she was starving.
I offered her some food because she looked so pitiful, but it was practically like disposing of leftovers, so I decided not to feel sorry.
However, I had a few things to ask her.
Where are the rest of your team members?
Kuh, kuh.
Vanessa pounded her chest with her fist as if she had choked on something.
I frowned at her inelegant behavior, but I waited patiently for her to drink some water.
Phew, they all failed.
Did they fall prey to the beast?
Vanessa nodded with a troubled face.
Yeah. We encountered the witchs specter and that was it
The witchs specter?
The voice that cut in anxiously was Beckys. Becky looked at Vanessa with a worried expression.
The witchs specter?
Yeah. The witchs specter.
W-where?
I cant pinpoint the exact location because there were no traces, but it wasnt too far away.
Beckys face darkened. She looked at me as if to say, arent we in danger too?
I couldnt blame her for feeling that way. The witchs specter was a notorious creature.
But it was incompatible with Hera, the spirit of the night. In other words, it wouldnt come looking for us voluntarily.
I said to Becky.
Just focus on the magic circle.
Yes.
Becky turned back to the magic circle with a sullen expression.
I had ordered the three representatives to solve the problem of the magic circle.
By the way, more than the witchs specter.
After Becky left, Vanessa opened her mouth.
The other knight teams are looking for you.
Is that so?
Celestial Blessing offered a bounty for your location, saying he would give it to anyone who finds out where you are.
I see.
Vanessa tilted her head.
Wasnt that shocking? What I just said.
I never hid in the first place.
I calmly stated the fact.
I wonder how much longer I have to wait for them.
I was waiting for them too.
The sun set and the night came.
After sending Vanessa off, I instructed the three of them to focus only on deciphering the magic circle.
She would be back soon anyway.
Tsk.
So I sat in front of the bonfire as I did yesterday, and clicked my tongue at the pathetic sight in front of me.
Scratch, scratch.
Louis was writing something on the paper without blinking. His forehead was covered with sweat.
He asked for some paper, saying he needed to take notes, and I gladly gave him the documents that I had checked.
They were now burned as firewood.
I cant figure out where it goes wrong.
He crumpled the paper nervously and picked up a new one.
He looked much more anxious than usual.
The calculations are correct, but what is it?
I turned my head and looked at Becky.
She was muttering something earnestly.
Did she manage to approach it with numerology?
I listened to her muttering.
I can do it. I can do it. I can do Can I do it? I can do it?
As expected, she was still lacking in numerology to approach the magic circle.
Crack.
Trixie was quietly biting her nails.
The blue flames floating around her looked gloomy.
How can there be no progress all day?
My words made the three of them look at me at the same time.
They all seemed to want to say something, but they soon sighed deeply.
Especially when you have to figure it out.
The magic circle of signal
The magic circle of emergency escape
The magic circle of meditation
I had prepared three formulas as the activation requirements for the magic circle.
They were all practical ones, so that the representatives wouldnt face any trouble in the dangerous area.
In other words, it was very risky to enter the dangerous area without mastering them.
This is too hard.
Becky shook her head repeatedly.
This is at least a second-year advanced course. I have some experience in summarizing papers. Its mandatory!
Its just the basics.
Becky coughed and argued.
Isnt it the basics for your level, Flan?
Not at all.
Then. Trixie sighed deeply and opened her mouth.
Of course, I could solve it if I focused completely. But right now, were under a lot of mental pressure.
She pointed her index finger at the moon in the sky.
The other teams are earning points even at this moment, but we havent done anything for two nights. Its hard to concentrate on the formula alone because were anxious.
This formula is the first step to victory. I told you.
Even if you say that Fine. Ill just be honest. Actually, I dont think I can solve it even if I focus completely.
I finally snapped my fingers.
A mana board made of blue light appeared in the air.
Waiting until I could do it by myself was one way, but I didnt have any more time.
Focus. Ill finish the explanation in exactly ten minutes.
What I was going to explain was already decided.
Before you look at the formula, you have to understand what kind of abilities are required of you.
To keep the promise of spending only ten minutes on the explanation, I provided a summary of the clues for the three formulas.
Cooperation, survival, calmness These were the key points.
But when I explained for exactly nine minutes and twelve seconds.
I had to stop the explanation because of the sudden presence I felt.
I left the blinking representatives alone and focused on the energy I felt around me.
I erased the board floating in the air.
From now on, you have to focus on the magic circle.
Huh?
Dont make me repeat myself.
When I showed a serious expression, the three of them didnt ask me anything more.
They exchanged glances a few times and then stuck to the magic circle.
One, two, three, four
The number was over ten, even if I only counted the ones I felt right away.
I was sure that the presence belonged to the knights.
I threw a burning log with telekinesis. It fell on the source of the presence and lit up the surroundings.
And a very familiar face came into my sight.
There you are. Flan.
She was a knight who looked like a rose blooming into a human.
She combed her sharp red hair with her hand, and Janet, the leader of the Celestial Blessing, revealed herself.
Behind Janet, Vanessa was standing, not knowing what to do.
She whispered in a crawling voice.
Im, Im sorry
Looking at her face, Vanessa seemed to have gone through a lot of trouble. But then again, I didnt blame her.
I expected this to happen, and I intended it.
I calmly accepted Janets greeting.
Youre not very good at being the seeker, Janet.
I had more than one or two things to catch in the hide-and-seek game. Oh, can you wait a moment?
Kraaaah!
At that moment, about ten shadow wolves, woven from the shadows, shot out of the forest.
It might be an insult to call them wolves.
They were at least as big as rocks.
Swoosh.
Janets rapier drew a precise semicircle.
And the next moment.
The beasts that leaped into the air were torn apart before they could touch the ground, their vital veins pierced through.
The sound of joints being ripped and bodies being crushed.
The thin line of the rapier scattered the entrails in all directions.
The shadow wolves that poured out from all sides were now nothing but lumps of flesh piled on the ground.
It was a skillful use of her unique ability.
Hmm hmm.
Janet hummed a tune and took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe her blade.
As you can see, there are many annoyances in Verkel.
Did you come all this way to complain?
Of course not. Rather, you might have to complain from now on. Flan.
Janet sheathed her sword.
Instead, she took out a coin and tossed it in the air with a steady rhythm.
You revealed the fantasy map to everyone. And you didnt go hunting for two days You must have some plan in your mind.
Ting, the coin bounced up again.
Tell me your plan, Flan.
I nodded quietly.
Your reason was not to complain, but to beg for information.
Hmm?
Janet tilted her head slightly and lifted the corners of her mouth. She looked like a specimen of a formal and kind knight.
Wouldnt it be better to choose your words carefully? Im in a dilemma right now, wondering what to do with the magic department.
You were afraid, werent you?
At that, Janet closed her mouth. Instead, she stared at me intently.
As if to urge me to continue.
I gladly did.
You were afraid even in the situation where you had the highest score. You didnt have the confidence to take the first place.
Janet made a hmm sound and stopped tossing the coin.
She still looked relaxed, but her eyes were more interested.
Even though you have killed. Killed. And killed more beasts. You couldnt stop thinking about me. Because you had the anxiety that it might turn around at any moment.
Huhuhu
Janet nodded her head slightly.
She let out a faint laugh and spoke in a tone of giving me a reward.
Thats a very cool thought. It might have some merit. But Flan, theres one thing you overlooked
Janet flicked the coin very high with a ting sound.
And the next moment.
Whoosh!
A rough wind rushed toward me.
All of a sudden, the ground in front of me was split in a straight line.
Beyond the crack, I saw Janets satisfied smile.
In the blink of an eye, Janet swung her sword and cut the ground.
I deliberately didnt take any action. I knew that her sword strike would stop in front of me.
Flan, I admit that youre amazing. But at the same time, I never thought that I would lose.
Janet regained her smile. Her hand was already tossing the coin again.
I commend you for not blinking an eye. Hmm~ Of course, your companions dont seem to be like that.
I just turned my head and looked behind me.
All three of them were staring at me with worried faces.
I didnt like that.
I told you to focus on the magic circle.
Uh I did. Flan. I did, but
Becky looked around nervously.
Not only the silk tents, but also a large number of knights surrounded us.
Janet shrugged her shoulders once.
Is this an alliance, too? They said theres no good in leaving a variable behind. Everyone agreed on that point.
I just asked Becky one more time.
Youre sure you solved it, right?
Uh-huh. I double-checked it.
She smiled brightly and continued.
Dont you want to focus on this side? You should tell me your plan soon. I hope theres no more sword swinging today How about it?
Just do it.
If you dont tell me, then this time Hm?
Janet couldnt finish her sentence and cocked her head.
She walked toward me with a haughty and graceful stride.
She asked me slowly.
Are you going to say it?
Yes.
You surprise me once again. Flan, I thought I would have to swing my sword at you at least three times today.
The surroundings became quiet.
Everyone waited for me to say something.
The eyes of the knights who looked at me were mixed with curiosity and tension.
I sighed and spoke in the midst of the silence.
But, theres no need to explain it with words.
As always, I have my own way of doing things.
I raised my mana as much as I could.
From now on, youll see it with your own eyes.
High-powered lines of light that shone brightly.
They were drawn one after another inside the circle.
Soon, the whole ground emitted light.
At that moment, the cluster of light wrapped around the bodies of everyone in the vicinity.
The faces of the knights who had not yet grasped the situation appeared.
!
Before they could make any judgment, the magic was activated.
A miracle of space that transports multiple targets with a single activation.
The romance of summoning that magicians pursue.
This!
No way?
What!
A magic circle of teleportation.
There was no change in the plan.
I set foot in the danger zone as planned.
And Ill let you experience it with me.
With everyone here.
