Episode 020

* * *

Through the one-hour carriage trip, Phillip engaged in quite a few conversations with Priscilla as they moved alongside.

Sometimes, Phillip did many of the speaking, whereas Priscilla responded briefly or nodded in settlement. However, she appeared to benefit from the trade in her personal approach.

Priscilla was a twenty-two-year-old commoner and a graduate of the Privia Academy.

‘There’s nothing notably uncommon about her.’

“I’m really lucky to have met you. Nowadays have been… fairly difficult. However listening to your tales one way or the other empowers me,” she stated whereas operating her fingers by means of her hair and smiling gently.

Phillip regarded her with a touch of sympathy. What had she gone by means of to take a look at an individual she had simply met an hour in the past with such trusting and intimate eyes? It left him feeling surprisingly touched.

“Effectively then, I’m additionally grateful, Priscilla. I hope you may stay on the academy as a fellow companion for a very long time.”

“Thanks. I hope that sometime I will be of help to you as properly… sniff!”

Instantly, the carriage jolted closely, indicating that they had arrived at their vacation spot because the wheels got here to a screeching halt.

Phillip cautiously opened the carriage door. Glancing forward, he observed that Teacher Perak and the opposite college students had already disembarked.

This location was on the other aspect of the lake the place Phillip had obtained the ‘Golden Seal of Joseph.’ As anticipated, the world close to the swamp was adorned with tall reeds.

‘… It appears like one thing acquainted, however I can’t fairly recollect it.’

Phillip thought. Though not essential, some non-trivial data gave the impression to be on the sting of his reminiscence, probably associated to this place.

“Everybody, please listen,” Teacher Perak stated, addressing the scholars with a critical expression.

“From the second you step into the dungeon, you’ll be uncovered to varied threats and uncertainties. Whereas we, the instructors, will do our utmost to make sure your security in the course of the coaching, accidents can nonetheless happen.”

He appeared into every pupil’s eyes as if a very unlucky accident was about to unfold.

“I implore you, please chorus from meddling with something you don’t perceive. Nearly each accident I’ve encountered to this point occurred attributable to such actions,” Teacher Perak cautioned.

Two out of the 5 college students wore tense expressions, however the others appeared to pay little consideration to his phrases.

Perak let loose an virtually imperceptible sigh after which raised the employees he had been carrying on his waist. With one hand firmly greedy it, he swung the employees by means of the air a number of instances. Instantly, a spot amidst the densely grown reeds shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

And there it was—the doorway to the underground dungeon.

“I’ll prepared the ground, so instructors, please guarantee no pupil will get left behind. Among the many college students, who will be part of me on the forefront?” Teacher Perak requested.

One male pupil raised his hand.

“Alright, Stephen Bray. The remainder of you, observe us intently.”

Stephen seemed to be an exemplary pupil at first look, donning spherical glasses much like Cheryl’s, along with his lengthy, neatly stored hair.

Earlier than venturing into the dungeon, he turned again to look.

On the finish of his gaze stood Cheryl.

‘Hmm? Do they know one another?’

Phillip may sense fear and concern within the boy’s gaze.

At that second, Cheryl’s voice whispered softly.

“… I’m okay, my lord.”

The woman standing beside Cheryl positioned her hand on her shoulder.

“What’s unsuitable, Cheryl? Shouldn’t we go in as properly? Maybe I ought to lead as a substitute of you?”

Cheryl’s expression darkened upon listening to the woman’s suggestion.

“Ah… sure. I’m sorry, Miss Janice.”

‘She’s utilizing formal speech?’ Phillip puzzled.

The hole between commoners and nobles at this academy was not as important.

In reality, for commoner dad and mom to enroll their youngsters right here meant they possessed talents corresponding to nobles.

‘… What’s the connection?’

Phillip contemplated as he adopted the scholars into the dungeon.

* * *

The inside of the dungeon was darkish and damp; the moisture from the close by lake added to the humidity.

Fortuitously, the tough stone flooring made slipping uncommon, however the college students from the Magic Division nonetheless discovered strolling fairly difficult.

Phillip noticed Cheryl and Janice from the again.

The 2 ladies had an unusually hierarchical relationship.

All through the stroll, Cheryl was continuously conserving a watch for Janice’s reactions, as if even her respiration would possibly provoke one thing.

“Dungeons are normally created by mages, particularly those that must preserve their analysis hidden.”

Teacher Perak started explaining when everybody gathered in a spacious space.

“They’re sometimes constructed in desolate mountains or valleys and hid with concealment magic. Normally, that alone is sufficient, however they’re additionally geared up with countermeasures in opposition to intruders who occur to come across them. Similar to right here.”

He pointed his employees at a selected spot on the bottom.

“Teacher Phillip, may you please assist me for a second?” Perak known as, and Phillip blinked in shock.

“Me?”

Though he puzzled why he was being known as, Phillip approached Teacher Perak.

“Please step on this spot together with your foot.”Ñøv€lRapture marked the preliminary internet hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

“… Didn’t you say it’s a entice?”

Skeletons introduced again to life by means of darkish magic.

Although there have been greater than ten of them, Janice felt no menace from their presence.

From a really tender age, she had been taught the artwork of magic by the mages in her household, enabling her to wield quite subtle spells.

Even the observant teacher, Perak, couldn’t declare to surpass her abilities from the sidelines.

A sigh escaped her lips.

It was a futile train, a pointless endeavor.

Janice believed there was nothing worthwhile to be taught on this place.

She despised having to have interaction in battles with such low-level foes like a handful of skeletons.

Watching Genta, a pupil of widespread start like Cheryl, try to solid a fireball spell, irritation prickled inside her.

‘… Is that this a joke? Should I affiliate with these amateurs?’

“No fireball, Genta! It received’t have any impact!”

Stephen urgently warned, and Genta promptly canceled the spell.

Janice lifted her employees.

As she cast the spell, mana swirled round her employees.

“Um… Miss?”

Caught off guard, Cheryl known as out to her. Cheryl knew precisely what spell Janice was making ready to invoke.

“Wind Blade.”

It was a Degree 4 wind magic spell, boasting probably the most formidable bodily impression.

“Everybody, take cowl!”

Sure that she couldn’t restrain her energy, Cheryl shouted to Stephen and the opposite boys.

“Huh…?”

Solely Stephen reacted to her warning.

Stephen hurriedly clutched Denver’s academy uniform sleeve and pulled him alongside.

The wind roared fiercely, sharp sufficient to slice by means of bone, because it swirled round them. The buffeting wind compelled them to take a step again to keep away from being caught in its violent dance.

These naked skeletons had been defenseless in opposition to the ferocity of the wind.

Stephen held onto Denver’s hand, making an attempt to regular him, and requested, “Are you okay?”

Denver replied, “Yeah, I’m advantageous. How about you?”

“I’m alright too. However…” Stephen hesitated.

He wished to glare at Janice Morrela, however he held himself again. Ever since he may bear in mind, he had been raised as a part of the Morrela household, a spectral existence.

“Miss Morrela… only a second in the past…”

He struggled to search out the correct phrases, understanding that blaming her or getting offended wouldn’t remedy something.

“What occurred?” Janice’s voice was chilly and distant, including to Stephen’s discomfort.

“I simply assume it may need been a bit dangerous.”

Janice gave him an intense look, making it clear she didn’t respect his cautious method.

“Are you implying you don’t belief my talents? That I may need harmed you as a result of I couldn’t deal with a mere Degree 4 spell?”

“No, it’s not that… I assumed perhaps sticking to the plan we had organized earlier would have helped with our efficiency…”

“So, you’d quite put the blame on me in case your grades undergo?”

Stephen tightened his lips, and Cheryl, who had by no means seen him like this earlier than, felt compelled to intervene.

“Miss Morrela, that’s not what he meant.”

Janice gazed at Cheryl, a crafty smile taking part in on her lips.

“Now even the commoners need to be my mentor. Stephen, what are your ideas? Ought to I bestow my teachings upon that lowly woman?”

Cheryl’s face turned ashen immediately.

“I… I by no means supposed such a factor, Miss. If my phrases sounded that approach, I apologize sincerely.”

‘What are they as much as? The battle hasn’t even concluded but!’

In the meantime, Philip, who had been observing from a distance, shook his head disapprovingly.

If this had been a martial arts academy, he would have stepped in to mediate the scenario. Nonetheless, getting concerned right here would solely trigger bother for Teacher Perak and Priscilla.

Furthermore, Teacher Perak appeared tired of intervening, and easily stood there along with his arms crossed.

‘… However why do I preserve listening to this unusual noise?’

Philip sensed one thing uncommon and centered his listening to.

Very quickly, he caught a peculiar sound—a smooth object shifting throughout a tough floor.

And the sound was coming from above the spot the place the scholars had gathered.

Simply as the item seemed to be about to fall, Philip slammed his foot onto the bottom.

Instantly, one thing was plummeting in the direction of Janice Morrela, and he needed to act shortly.
