The magic faculty also urgently manipulated mana to send the power of the tremendous explosion created by Latia and Karin high into the sky.
콰과과과! (Sound of explosion)
A pillar of fire that burst through the roof of the Great Hall, which was protected by magic, and continued to soar high into the sky.
No, it only had the form of a pillar of fire, but in fact, it couldn't even be called fire elemental magic.
Fire elemental magic of that power doesn't exist.
The pillar of fire, which rose so high that its end couldn't be seen, scattered into the air after a long time.
A large hole was pierced in the roof of the Great Hall.
More than 200 people all stared blankly at the hole in the roof and the sky beyond.
The first to come to his senses was Dean Leo Martien.
"Personnel and assistants, check if anyone is injured!"
At Leo Martien's command, even the students began to busily check each other for injuries.
Fortunately, there didn't seem to be many seriously injured compared to the scale of the accident.
Professor Camilla Lucia said.
"If Davian hadn't quickly pushed it upwards, this could have been a major accident. To think it could so easily burst through the roof of the Great Hall, which is protected by magic. If that shock had spread inside... a terrible disaster would have occurred."
The Kinesis professor also nodded.
"If it weren't for Davian, the number of second-year students would have been cut in half today."
Leo Martien looked at Kinesis.
"Professor, but what on earth happened?"
Kinesis turned his head to look at the gaping hall roof and opened his mouth.
"Magic is an activity that creates waves in mana. Waves have amplitude and wavelength, and their size changes every time."
An explanation that people who haven't deeply learned magic wouldn't be able to understand at all.
Dean of Swordsmanship Leo Martien was the same.
"And?"
"These waves can accidentally match perfectly. Of course, the probability is very low... but anyway, resonance occurs. In swordsmanship, they call it a mana sword, right?"
Mana sword. Resonance.
Hearing this, Leo Martien quickly began to understand what the Kinesis professor was saying.
"So you're saying that Latia and Karin's mana caused resonance!"
Kinesis nodded.
"Yes. It could be a simple coincidence that happens once in a millennium. Or the two girls' mana waves may have been unusually similar from the start. We'll have to watch a little longer to know."
An excited Camilla Lucia asked again.
"Those two students, they tried very hard to match the waves while combining their magic to fight Davian! Isn't that right, Professor Kinesis?"
"Yes... They are amazing students. But even if you try, it doesn't perfectly match and cause resonance. The students probably weren't aiming for that either. Matching the waves so that the two people's magic would naturally combine without colliding is really commendable. But for resonance to occur..."
The youngest professor, Wendy, opened her mouth.
"I saw it in a book. The story of those twin wizards from a long time ago."
"Ah! The legend that when the two combined their magic, they could break through even the thickest castle walls at once?"
"Yes. Isn't it like that?"
"But they were twins who had the same mana waves from birth. The two female students down there clearly look different."
"Well, whether it's a coincidence or not, their mana waves might be similar."
Kinesis, who had been listening to Wendy and Camilla's conversation, stroked his long beard and looked down at the sparring arena.
There, the blonde-haired Latia and the black-haired Karin were standing blankly with bewildered expressions.
Karin asked.
"W-What's going on, Latia? What on earth did you do?"
"I don't know either..."
What had happened?
Even Latia, the instigator of this situation, couldn't know.
But what was certain was that.
If it hadn't been for Davian's quick response, a major disaster would have occurred by now.
Other friends approached.
"Latia, what was that magic? I've never seen such a strong energy. Is it mana from your chest... no, your heart? If Nubes hadn't caught her, Luna would have flown far away."
Latia looked at Luna clinging to Nubes' back.
"Sorry, Luna. Is everyone else okay?"
"Uh, I'm okay. Are you guys?"
"Yeah. Thanks to that guy walking over there."
Latia pointed to where Davian was walking.
"What did you do, Latia?"
"I don't know, stop asking me now."
"I just asked for the first time."
Davian, who was unfairly scolded, looked up at the gaping sky.
'What on earth is this... Did this happen because Karin and Latia's waves combined? If I can control it well, it would be an amazing weapon.'
In Davian's mind.
He pictured Latia and Karin combining their strength to drop such an attack in the middle of a demon wave.
The tournament final match was suspended due to the accident that blew off the Great Hall's roof.
All 22 teams conveyed their intention to concede, and the tournament victory went to Team 62, which included Davian, Nubes, and Luna.
In fact, from the beginning, the tournament was as good as decided.
After the first semester final exams, 8 out of 188 second-year students were expelled.
The remaining number was 180.
Elton Academy, after completing the semester completion ceremony, entered summer vacation.
Davian's dormitory.
"I want to go too!"
Sarah, who was clinging to Davian and Mons as they packed their luggage, kept nagging.
"Mons and I are going alone."
"Then what am I supposed to do here? I want to go too!"
"With what justification? Mons is coming as my attendant. What about you?"
"Um... a maid?"
"Forget it. Stay here with Bellus and take good care of the house."
"Am I a dog? To stay here and guard the house! Oh, and there are spies swarming in the royal family. If you take me, I'll be helpful. Huh? I'll help you ferret out the spies. Did you forget? I'm a spy from the Marino Empire."
"What if you get caught?"
"Eh. Sophia is already dead. That was a long time ago. I've had my face completely redone, so no one will recognize me. So take me too! I want to go inside the royal palace too."
Sarah turned her head sharply and looked at Mons.
She rolled her eyes back and forth, putting silent pressure on Mons.
"Um... Young Master. Wouldn't it be okay to take one more person as a servant? As Sarah said, if there are any spies she knows there, she might be able to recognize them at a glance."
Sarah nodded finely, further encouraging Mons.
Davian, who was closing his luggage bag, turned his head and looked at Mons.
"What's this? Since when have you two become so close?"
"It's not that we're close, but... it's also better for Young Master's safety, and besides, only Elton Academy students get to tour the royal palace, and ordinary people don't get a chance to go inside the royal palace in their entire lives."
"You want to take Sarah to show her the royal palace?"
"It's not just because of that..."
Davian looked back and forth between Mons and Sarah.
"Well, fine. Let's go together. But!"
Sarah, who was about to hug Davian, stopped in her tracks and asked.
"But?"
"Go there and find at least one spy you know. Don't you dare say you don't know anyone."
"Uh! Yeah! Okay. There will definitely be a familiar face. There will be! That person won't recognize my face, but once I see a face, I never forget it until I die."
"Go pack your bags quickly. We're leaving right away."
"Uh, okay!"
At the same time as summer vacation began.
The date that Marquis Espin Elina had informed him of through a letter was approaching.
Davian crossed over to Kanzar City through the warp terminal with Mons and Sarah.
"Where is the Marquis?"
"He's probably just arriving now. There's a wide plain south of the city, so he'll probably set up camp there."
"Let's go quickly."
Sarah asked with a regretful face.
"Are we not going into the royal palace today?"
"Do you think the royal palace is a neighborhood tavern? To just go in whenever. Did you think the king would open the royal palace gates and say welcome when we came?"
"Welcome, Davian Onne."
"Hello, Marquis Espin."
"The people behind you don't seem to be friends. They're young people I haven't seen before?"
"Ah, this is my attendant, Mons, and this is... a maid."
Espin Elina wore a meaningful smile.
"The attendant looks like he's been holding a sword for over 20 years. And that woman is too flamboyant to be a maid. Well, there must be a reason for the people Davian brings with him."
Espin approached Mons.
"You've come wearing amazing clothes. What kind of thread is that suit made of that it exudes such a solid energy?"
Espin ran his fingers over Mons' cream-colored uniform.
"It's even more incredible when you touch it. I've never seen clothes like this before."
It was the uniform that Glacier had gifted to Mons.
It was made by processing the fur of the Cream Dragon.
"Come to think of it... it's not just the uniform? Attendant, you're incredibly strong, aren't you?"
Mons hurriedly lowered his head.
"You flatter me."
Mons had been diligently training every day in the backyard of Davian's dormitory.
He had completed a much higher level of swordsmanship than a year and a half ago.
"Now, let's go into my camp and talk. I've sent a message to the royal family. They'll probably send an answer soon."
Davian headed to the central camp with Marquis Espin, who personally greeted Davian's party at the entrance of the camp.
There were so many soldiers following that there was no end to the walking.
Davian, who was admiring the size of the camp, asked.
"You're not really here to wage war, are you?"
Espin laughed as if it were nothing.
"Well, we might have to if necessary?"
Right in front of the capital where the royal palace is located.
To bring hundreds of thousands of troops and set up camp.
And to say that we might have to wage war if necessary.
"Don't worry, I won't ask for your help, Davian Onne. You can't get demerits from the academy for getting involved in something like this, right?"
At that time.
A knight hurriedly rode up on a horse.
"Marquis!"
"What is it? You're being rude when we have guests."
"I-I'm sorry!"
"I asked what it is."
"The Second Royal Guard... is coming this way."
"What? The Royal Guard? Are you sure?"
"Yes. They have golden armor and eagle emblems engraved on their chests and shields."
Ha.
Espin raised his head and let out a short sigh towards the sky.
"I sent a messenger to request an audience with the king. But the messenger didn't return and the Second Royal Guard came? These guys are really..."
Espin instructed the adjutant, Colin.
"All troops. Prepare for battle."
Colin, who was surprised, asked back.
"Yes?"
"I'm sure you heard me."
A terrifying killing intent swirled from Espin's body.
"Y-Yes!"
Colin took out one of the magical tools he had on his waist.
He threw it high into the sky using inner power.
Bang.
It lightly exploded and scattered red light in the air.
Then, following that.
뿌우우. (Sound of a trumpet)
The sound of a trumpet announcing battle preparation echoed.
