black, red.
An unknown space made of chess patterns. Red furniture was strewn here and there, with crooked clocks lying around.
It was Alice’s labyrinth.
In the gloomy atmosphere, three uniformed students, each sitting on any furniture, were quietly waiting for the Spade Paladin.
“… How about being suspended?”
Shera Hectorika, a red-haired schoolgirl with a heart-shaped ornament, broke the silence.
A brown-haired girl leaning against a wall, asked a question to Alexa.
Alexa frowned and looked at Shera.
“Puu! what are those eyes? I was just trying to lighten the mood.”
“shut up.”
Alexa’s cold voice.
However, Shera was only flirting with excitement.
In the first year joint tactical evaluation, the four paladins failed to stop the nameless hero.
He couldn’t even get a clue who he was, so it was a complete defeat.
Only the Spade Paladin saw the power of the unnamed hero with their own eyes.
The hero was stronger than anyone could imagine. It was to the point that I even doubted whether it was really possible for them to get rid of them.
Alice did not reproach any of the Paladins. Rather, because of that, the paladins felt a strong sense of guilt.
I will not fail next time. We will surely find clues to identify who the black monster is.
After the Deep Sea Monster incident, all of the Paladins made a promise to do so.
Then, footsteps sound.
A boy appeared from the darkness filling one side.
Black hair with a soft blue hue. It was a spade paladin.
“Leader!”
“I’m here?”
“… … .”
Shera greeted them warmly, Clover Paladin warmly, and Alexa silently.
The spade paladin crossed his legs after sitting in a luxurious chair.
He likes to show his intelligence, keeping his back straight and dignified.
“Why did you ask us to meet, Captain?”
Shera ran back and asked as she sat down on the armrest of the spade paladin’s chair.
He picked up his glasses once.
“The evaluation of Dalian will begin soon. They say you can name it as a match for the sophomore year in Dalian. In other words, I was able to watch the battles of both the first and second graders.”
The Spade Paladin said with a serious expression.
“Dia’s suspension will be lifted by the time the Dalian evaluation begins. There are a total of 4 daggers to be used. Groups are divided and moved to each dungeon. The Queen said that she would do her best so that we would be grouped into different groups… .”
“Watch the elemental ice properties?”
Shera said with a smile instead.
The Spade Paladin took the place of answering without answering.
“If you guys are talented, you can definitely find a suspicious guy. If it’s an ice attribute, take a closer look. He hides his identity in a high-performance camouflage, so I’m not even sure if it’s a man or a woman. Last year, the demons who were collaborating with the queen secretly watched the evaluation of Dalian, but they failed to commit an ignorant massacre.”
Last year, it was revealed that there was an affair with the demons at Marchen Academy because of the demon named Lipa, who was Alice’s partner.
As a result, academics became more careful in disclosing information, even if they were administrative personnel.
The information given to Alice has also become more limited than before.
“But since we are students, there will be no problem. in vain… If only we refrain from doing conspicuous nonsense.”
The Spade Paladin stared at Alexa. She was the most troublesome of them all.
Alexa shook her head.
“… I’ll be quiet.”
Alexa, feeling the pressure, replied that way.
“And don’t mention it again. Suspect and pay attention to anyone, not just students, faculty and staff.”
You have to figure out who the black monster is.
“Yeah!” replied Shera vigorously, Clover Paladin nodded, and Alexa didn’t respond.
“Oh, right. Leader. Can I ask you one thing?”
“What is it, Shera?”
“Is it Isaac, the person the Queen suspects? Can I fight him?”
A sophomore in the Faculty of Magic, Isaac.
It was a boy who suspected that Alice was a saboteur, and offered to find out whether she herself was a saboteur or not.
Because it was only a suspicion, it was impossible to concentrate the manpower on only one Isaac. So the four paladins were moving with Isaac being the only suspect.
“It doesn’t matter if there is a good cause, but I don’t really recommend it.”
“why?”
“Because the shaman has already played a match against him. The second question is to figure out why. Don’t forget that our name is spread just by the fact that we are also S-class in magical power. Isaac, the more famous he becomes, the more disturbing the Queen.”
“Hmm… .”
Shera was sad.
I like to do things that stand out, but I don’t want to do anything that might upset Alice’s nerves.
“Shera, keep in mind that our mission in Dalian evaluation is ‘observation’. You shouldn’t even think about taking revenge on Luce Eltania. If you pass out again, the plan goes awry.”
“Ugh! I don’t, I don’t! I hate you boss!”
“What… ? suddenly?”
Shera grumbled dissatisfied and walked away from the Spade Paladin.
The fact that he was defeated by Luce Eltania was hurting Shera’s pride.
“Captain, you can’t say things like losing in front of Shera.”
Clover Paladin pointed out with a grin.
“Right, I hate you!”
Shera hid behind the clover paladin’s back and expressed her dissatisfaction with only her head sticking out.
“… … .”
The Spade Paladin let out a deep sigh as if it was bothersome to deal with.
* * *
“Ah, ah, Sir Isaac… ? Who are you fighting with… ?”
“Miya.”
Faculty of Magic class building, Orphin Hall. empty lab.
In order to handle the 6-star elemental ice magic [Frost Revolution] with ease, he was laying out a lot of books and parchment, calculating all sorts of tricks, and learning them in his head.
[Learning Efficiency] Because it’s at the maximum, my brain works well. If someone brought me a lot of numbers and all sorts of formulas and asked me to do mental arithmetic, I thought I could do it at once.
I already had all the forms of magic circles for each use in my head. It took quite some time because how to operate this skillfully was a separate issue.
Still, it was decided that it was not long before Isaac could use 6-star magic in battle even with [Deviler] disabled.
At least, it will be possible until you fight against the shaman Miya.
For sure, I can feel that I have fallen into the ranks of a magical genius.
Suddenly, the light of the sunset filled the window.
While I was taking a break, Snowwhite came to see me, so I was talking about various things.
Today was the day that White agreed to take a break from mentoring.
Still, there is no need to question how she came to see me. Because I always share schedules with her.
White was standing in front of the window, and I was sitting in a chair with my center of gravity leaning on the backrest.
Her white hair was dyed in the light of the sunset. White’s appearance was like a pure white princess, and she was often dyed with the colors around her.
Even though she was wearing a school uniform, she was amazed at how beautiful she was. Seeing her astonished, her expressions were also colorful.
“I know Isaac senior is strong, but the shaman is too strong even though he is strong… !”
“What do you do with Dalian? I used up all two application tickets on me.”
“Why the hell did you do that? I’ve never seen a shaman and Isaac sunbae together… ? You two, is there something I don’t know about? I bumped my shoulder on the way… .”
“I don’t know, neither do I.”
It must have been because of Luce, but I didn’t say anything because talking to White wouldn’t do me any good.
“Hey, if you’re a shaman, it’s likely that you’re just going to get into an argument for some strange reason. I have a bit of a geeky personality.”
“Yes, it seems.”
“… … .”
“Why, White?”
“No, nothing… .”
White smiled sadly and turned her head to the side to avoid my eyes. Tears welling up around the eyes.
I had to be friendly with the shaman, but considering her personality, it seemed like she was at a loss again.
“Uh, anyway!”
White wiped away her tears, then clenched her fist and looked at me again.
“So you were learning different magic like this? With the feeling of ‘Let’s fight the shaman!’?”
“It’s not because of Dalian, it’s just that the times overlapped. It’s a coincidence.”
I stretched out my fingers and let the cold air flow gently. A pure white chill and ice crystals floated over my fingers.
He stretched out his other finger and repeated it. It was a habitual training in mana management.
“Ah, Sir Isaac… . Aren’t you scared? I think it would be very scary… .”
“not really. I am not afraid.”
He clenched his fists and dissipated the cold.
“Anyway, my goal during my second year is Luce.”
“yes… ?”
“Well, to be honest, you’re weaker than Luce. I have nothing to fear.”
“Come on, wait a minute. Luce senior… ?!”
White was shocked again.
“The goal was to beat Luce-senpai?!”
“Why are you so surprised? .”
“of course… ! Luce-senpai is a genius among geniuses! Very strong, beautiful and… .”
“I will win at least in the second semester Dalian evaluation.”
sexual. It is an objective indicator of how strong I have become.
When I was in 3rd grade, I wanted to at least occupy a senior position before facing the evil spirits.
“Why Luce-senpai… ?”
“I want to win.”
Of course, there was also personal greed.
It must be said that it is a basic instinct to want to be rewarded for hard work.
For some reason, White was admiring with her mouth wide open. Even the twinkle hangs in the eyes.
I read the psychology. He didn’t even think to confront the shaman, let alone win, so it seems that he was deeply impressed by my words.
‘Me too.’
From the beginning, I set the goal of taking the top spot, but seeing Luce in reality, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed.
I couldn’t imagine a future that would defeat her.
While fighting countless times and repeating defeats, I even felt a high wall.
Still, I was now in the class of genius, and I was still growing at a rapid pace.
So, the promise of defeating Luce was not unrealistic.
Besides, each of these small goals will become a driving force for me.
okay.
In the second semester of my sophomore year, I will be able to compete against Luce who wears the Black Sea Empress’s ring. That’s my goal.
… Of course, surviving well until then is the first priority.
“Anyway, yes. Now that my break is over, I’ll see you next time, White.”
“oh. yes, yes… !”
White crouched and looked around.
“By the way, six-star magic is really, really incomparable. The spells I’ve learned so far are like children’s games… . The fact that you said you were going to beat Luce-senpai, Isaac-senpai is really amazing. Ehehe.”
“okay?”
That’s a strange word.
Read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Me and White looked at each other and smiled wildly.“See you tomorrow, senpai!”
“Go in carefully. Don’t miss out on training.”
“yes!”
White left the lab.
Until she joined Merlin, who was waiting outside the Orphin Hall, she looked into [Closer], and then continued her 6-star magic training again.
… …
The next day, noon.
After class, I was about to leave the Class B classroom of the 2nd graders of the Orphin Hall. The next class was canceled, so I was going to invest time in training 6-star magic right away.
at that time. Suddenly, the hallway on the second floor became noisy, and a female student approached me with the attention of the students.
neat look. It was Erin, a member of the student council and the head of the leadership department.
“Isn’t that Isaac?”
What is it?
I faced her straight up.
“The student council president is calling. Follow.”
“… … ?”
… uh?
Yehey
Isaac is constantly becoming more chad.
