"Davian! Everyone! Are you all okay?"
It was Hugo Moulton, the headmaster of Elton Academy.
Ding.
=====
[Quest 'Survive at Home!' Successful]
—Reward: 35K Mana Points (x2)
=====
Davian chuckled.
'That was one hell of a quest, for once.'
It hadn't been long since he summoned Glacie.
'Could I have survived until now without calling Glacie?'
The answer is fifty-fifty.
Even if I had survived, I probably would have lost most of my friends.
Davian turned his head and looked at Nubes's back.
Round three.
It overlapped with Nubes's back, which had stood in front of Davian and blocked the pouring arrows with his whole body.
'He's a pretty decent guy, Nubes Arbo.'
Back then, it was for Davian.
This time, it was for Bellum and Luna.
He didn't hesitate to use his huge body as a shield.
And what about Luna, who's sobbing?
Even though she's crying because she's sorry she can't heal him quickly enough to not hurt.
She's steadily healing Nubes's arms.
Both arms at the same time, too.
She has amazing concentration when it comes to healing magic.
As time passed, professors arrived one by one.
Professors Leo Martian and Stella Cloud arrived.
Sirims Andrian and Professor Kinesis also came running on horseback.
Medium Frill, who arrived last, looked around the rooftop once and then began to heal Mons and Bellum at the same time without saying a word.
Assistants came up with stretchers and finished preparing to move the patients to the carriage.
'I feel secure.'
Odin Nasar and the 12 Special Assassination Squad members, who had been fighting until just now, were incredibly strong, but.
Facing all the professors who are here now is.
Absolutely impossible.
No.
Hugo Moulton, who arrived first, might have cut down Odin Nasar in one strike.
Glacie approached Bellus and spoke to him kindly.
"Oh, you've awakened as an elemental magician?"
On the other hand.
Bellus is trembling all over as if he's about to collapse at any moment.
"Yes, yes... Lady Glacie. I'm still insignificant."
Having awakened as an elemental magician, his sensitivity to spirits would have increased dramatically.
He must be feeling Glacie's strength as it is.
"I wondered why Davian brought such a cute younger brother home to live with. Turns out he was an amazing kid?"
"Ah, no. I'm just..."
Glacie tapped Bellus on the shoulder.
"Work hard. You'll become a great elemental magician."
"Yes... Yes!"
This time, she approached Mons.
"Mons."
"Yes, Lady Glacie."
"Why do you have such a gloomy expression?"
"...I don't think I have enough skill to protect Master Davian."
"Huh? No way? You have an amazing energy. I recognized it at first sight. You're going to become much stronger."
Mons lowered his head and looked at his leg, which had been given first aid.
"But even today..."
"The opponent was too strong. There was nothing you could do, right?"
"..."
Glacie seemed to be thinking about something for a moment.
"Mons, you're my friend Davian's retainer. And you're also the second human I've been curious about after Davian since I came back to the human world."
"Thank you, Lady Glacie."
"So, I'm going to give you a gift soon."
"Pardon?"
"A gift. You need to become stronger to protect Davian well."
Davian, who had been sitting over there, limped over.
Davian's leg, which had been completely crushed, had already healed naturally.
"Hey, Glacie. You're not trying to raid the royal palace's history archive again, are you? Do you remember I got dragged to the Royal Guard because of that?"
"What do you mean raid? I just took what was mine. And this time, I'm not going to take it from there."
"Then where are you going to raid something from again? You're not going to raid some dragon lair, are you?"
Glacie's eyes widened.
"How did you know?"
"What? You're really going to raid a dragon lair?"
"What do you mean raid? I'm just going to pick up what I left there."
Mons asked.
"Are there really dragons?"
"What kind of question is that? There are dragons, of course."
Glacie made an absurd expression.
Mons's question wasn't ridiculous.
Dragons don't show themselves to humans very often.
They don't interfere in human affairs, and they live in their lairs, training.
The last dragon to appear in the human world was the Mad Dragon Insanis, which was related to one of the Grand Magician's 12 Traces.
That was already hundreds of years ago.
Before long, dragons were becoming known as legendary beings.
"I can't believe dragons really existed..."
The Gray Bear Expedition, which found the Mad Dragon Insanis's claw while chasing the Grand Magician's 12 Traces, believes in the existence of dragons.
Most other people would react like Mons.
"Anyway, I'll give you a gift soon, so wait."
"Thank you, Lady Glacie."
Nubes and Mons, who had finished receiving first aid, were carried out on stretchers.
Just as the chaotic rooftop was being cleaned up.
Sarah, Latia, and Karin, who had gone to find the glass bottle, returned.
"Davian, here."
"Did you find it?"
Sarah nodded and took out the glass bottle.
"Oh! Be careful!"
Davian quickly reached out and took the glass bottle.
Glacie strode over.
"This is the potion that's going to get rid of me? What is this? Davian, do you know? Latia, you're very knowledgeable in magic, too. What is this?"
Glacie was bombarding them with questions.
But there was one thing she had overlooked.
This wasn't the place to discuss Latia's magical knowledge.
Among the people here are...
"What is this?"
Professors Sirims Andrian and Kinesis were present.
One is the spiritual leader of all magicians in Alcancia and the head of the Department of Magic at Elton Academy.
The other is the oldest professor of magic at Elton Academy.
Hugo Moulton and Leo Martian also showed interest.
"They said it's an object that can deal with Glacie."
Head of the Department of Magic, Sirims, asked back in surprise.
"Lady Glacie?"
"Yes."
"Let me see it."
Sirims took the glass bottle and began to examine it closely.
"Good heavens..."
"Old man, what's wrong? What is it?"
The only person who calls Sirims Andrian "old man" is Glacie, of course.
"It's a substance that can create a rift in dimensions. How could you..."
A few days later.
Elton Academy.
Professor Sirims Andrian's laboratory.
"Amazing. To actually create this."
Davian asked.
"Is it difficult to make this?"
I asked the question, but.
It was a foolish question.
It's a substance that can create a rift in dimensions.
There's no way it's easy to make.
"Difficult? It's extremely difficult. Just finding the ingredients is not an easy task."
"I felt a similar energy to the Demon Stone I saw before. Is the main ingredient Demon Stone?"
"That's the main ingredient. And there are countless other ingredients needed. Each one is hard to even find."
"That means they were very wary of Glacie."
Professor Sirims nodded.
"I guess so. They must have had to deal with Glacie no matter what."
"How many more of these did they make?"
"They absolutely can't make many. It's amazing that even one of these came into the world."
"But what happens if you break this? Does a dimensional rift appear and suck everything in?"
"Ah, I didn't tell you about that. It's a fact we found out after spending days and nights with countless assistants. This dimensional rift substance is designed to react only to beings from a specific dimension."
"A specific dimension? Then..."
"Yes. It's a dimensional rift substance that only reacts to beings from the spirit realm."
This is nothing more than a weapon aimed directly at Glacie.
"Then what happens if a dimensional rift opens and Glacie gets sucked into it?"
"She'll probably fall into another dimension. We don't know where that will be, and neither do they. It's probably a very distant dimension from which she'll never return."
"They've created something amazing... the Marino Empire's spy organization."
Professor Sirims nodded.
"They're amazing guys. I didn't know they were preparing this thoroughly..."
"What are you going to do with this?"
"An order has come down from the Royal Magic Department to hand it over for research."
"Pardon?"
"However. I will personally dispose of this. It's too dangerous."
That's a wise choice.
If it's handed over to someone else and the spies take it back...
"We need to find out how many of these they made."
"We'll have to. But it won't be easy."
"Are there any other countermeasures? Another substance that can neutralize this substance..."
Professor Sirims shook his head.
"Not yet. But now that we know they've created something like this, the Royal Magic Department and the Magic Tower will actively start research. The same goes for our Elton Academy."
"Yes, thank you."
"It's for our kingdom. There may come a day when we'll owe Lady Glacie a great debt."
"Has everyone decided on a club?"
Luna replied.
"I'm probably going to the Healing Research Club."
"Yeah, that's perfect for Luna."
Luna had declared that she would go to the Healing Research Club since her first year.
Her friends nodded as if it were an obvious choice.
But.
Other friends except Bellum didn't know.
How much Luna had worried about deciding on a club.
At first, she was naturally going to join the Healing Research Club.
But the problem was Davian.
As she entered her second year and the detailed major classes were divided, the time she had to meet Davian was reduced too much.
So, she had been worrying for over a month about giving up the Healing Research Club and following Davian to the Dungeon Exploration Club.
Then, an incident occurred that solidified Luna's decision.
It was the battle with Odin Nasar.
Nubes, who had thrown himself to protect her, had used healing magic with the feeling of squeezing out all the magic of her heart to make him suffer as little as possible.
It took too long to heal his crushed and broken arm.
'I have to work harder. For the sake of achieving my dreams. For the sake of my friends.'
"Bonita's going to the Swordsmanship Club, right?"
Bonita nodded briefly.
Bellum turned to Nubes.
"You're going to the Swordsmanship Club with Bonita and me, right?"
"Yeah. There's no club specifically for tanks. All you have to do as a tank is concentrate your external force training."
"Don't just think about brute-forcing it with your body, and practice swordsmanship more diligently, you big guy. Then you can become a cooler tank. Like a damage-dealing tank?"
It was still Bellum's teasing tone that made fun of Nubes.
Unlike before, his voice had softened a little.
The number of times he put him in a headlock or kicked his legs had also noticeably decreased.
"Latia, where are you going?"
"Four Elements Magic Research Club."
"That's your detailed major, too, and you're going to the club? I heard that place is just a research club in name and all you do is train and train."
"That's why I'm going."
Bellum nodded.
"Amazing, Latia. Davian, what about you? You're going there, right? What was it called? Dungeon..."
"Dungeon Exploration Club."
"Yeah, there."
"Yeah."
"Then Karin is forced to go to the same club as Davian because of her mission, and Liber, what about you?"
Liber was about to answer, but.
Karin's mouth opened first.
"No."
"No? You're not going to the same club as Davian?"
"Yeah. I got permission from the royal family, too."
"Then where are you going?"
"The same club as Latia."
"With Latia?"
