The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 52

052. Kill me (3)

It was just a coincidence that Rose was with Lucius.

“.”

Rose casts her spell on the burning student.

The basic principle of water elemental magic is similar to that of ice elemental magic. It consists in increasing the amount of water particles in the air by scraping them together.

In the end, whether to handle the collected water as a liquid or as a solid. It can be said that there is only such a difference.

Of course, it is by no means a small difference.

Because handling liquids and handling solids are completely different areas.

In that respect, Rose had a uniquely outstanding part as her mage.

Imagine an image.

It means that you can imagine how to move an irregular liquid in your head as if you were drawing a picture.

The cold water rose instantly.

Water rushes in from all directions towards the blazing fire,

It completely shuts off the supply of oxygen.

The lights went out.

“Nice work, Rose!”

Then Lucius runs and sprays the potion on the student.

It was a terrible look.

The skin was reddish, and the flesh seemed to be half-melted.

His entire body is covered in burns, making it difficult to recognize who it is.

“Fortunately, he’s not dead. He’s breathing properly.”

“That’s fortunate. If the professors treat you, you’ll be able to return to your original form.”

“…It looks difficult right now, but I mean.”

Lucius glanced around and said.

Traces of fierce battles remain here and there.

The building was partially demolished, leaving the rest of the steel frame intact.

These were traces of students infected with Phoenix.

At first, the students struggled and resisted. But that’s only for a moment.

The pain of burning the body quickly causes the students to lose consciousness, and the initiative of the body is taken away by the phoenix.

Then, the phoenix scatters flames around and brings disaster.

“Still, thanks to Rose, it seems to have become safer around here.”

“…….”

“What’s wrong, Rose. Is there something bothering you?”

Rose was making an uneasy expression. She looked at the student who had just been on fire.

“…Miss Lucius. How many Phoenixes have we met?”

“I met 5 people.”

“All five belonged to the faction of the Duke of Bamir.”

“Is that true?!”

Rose nodded vaguely.

“That’s true, but don’t listen too closely. About 30% of the aristocratic students at Philea Academy belong to the faction of the Duke of Bamir.”

“Still, it seems strange… Rose Eiffeltain, do you have anything else in common?”

“Another thing we had in common was…They were especially followers of Elpis Bamir…”

In the wake of the kidnapping of Tia, the Duke of Bamir’s faction split into two. The side that wants to admit Tia and the side that still has to drive Tia out.

Among them, those who insisted on expelling Tia were those with strong loyalty to Elpis.

At that time, those people were infected by the phoenix…… Is it really a coincidence?

“Here you are, Junior Lucius.”

In the midst of being seized by the ominous, Lapisca suddenly appeared.

But Lapiska wasn’t the only one who appeared.

Behind Lapiska were students wearing white uniforms.

“You’re all right, Lapiska-senpai. …But what about them?”

“You’re Lucius. I’m Belyram Anderson, Vice President of the Leading Division.”

A leading member with a fresh face came forward.

At the same time, the rest of the leading members jumped out and began to take care of the wounded one by one.

“Lucius and Rose Eiffeltain. Didn’t you guys hear the announcement to evacuate to the auditorium?”

“D-I’ve heard of it, but I can’t leave Phoenix alone…”

“That’s our leadership team’s job, not a mediocre student like you! Really! Don’t get into the first year topic!”

“Calm down, comrade Belairam. If it wasn’t for junior Lucius, maybe things would have gotten bigger?”

“The same goes for you, Lapiska! Your qualifications for the leadership team were suspended because of that incident!”

He thought he was giving a sermon to Lucius, but pointed his finger at Lapisca.

“The subject of suspension of qualifications for the leadership team, they say that they have to find Lucius! Are they children! Next year, we will be in the 4th grade!”

“But it’s also true that there are not enough people in the leadership team right now. I just found junior Lucius, who helps the leadership team and serves as a double-career.”

“The leading team didn’t do well enough to borrow your strength! Come on! Once you’ve found the junior you cherish so much, go to the main auditorium! Come on!”

Lapiska takes Lucius and Rose with her as if being pushed on her back by Bellairam’s scolding.

“Well, he’s a little talkative, but he’s a good guy.”

“That definitely came through, right, Rose?”

Saying that, Lucius looked at Rose.

But she never got her answer back from Rose.

… Rose was biting her fingernails, seemingly uneasy.

“Rose…?”

There is no answer when I call. It’s like thinking hard about something.

Rose was obsessed with her strange foreboding. I sensed that there was a huge amount of malice hidden in the incident that happened today.

Could everything the Duke of Bamir faction have been doing up until now been just a stepping stone?

… Is that too much delusion?

However, Rose’s imagination, trained as a wizard, can hardly be stopped.

‘Something…. Something is happening….’

“Now, juniors. We have arrived at the main auditorium. Juniors Ron and Juniors Tia have already evacuated… Juniors Rose?”

As soon as he saw the main auditorium, Rose ran out.

The student council executives guarding the auditorium shouted something, but Rose ignored them and entered the auditorium.

The auditorium was full of refugee students.

Injured people scattered all over the place.

Students who became emaciated in a short period of time.

Dark atmosphere.

Through such scenery, I can see the figure of the woman I was aiming for.

“Professor Catherine!”

Rose ran towards her short professor.

Katherine was also in a bad mood.

The clothes she was wearing were stained with burn marks, and she had bandages all over her body.

While severe burn marks are visible through the gaps in the bandages, Professor Catherine has a calm expression as usual.

“Student Eiffeltein? What’s going on?”

“Marie… Where is Marie…?”

Saying that, Rose didn’t stop moving her eyes.

The students around Professor Catherine are all 1st year B class students in the Magic Combat Department. Claire Antirus, Henrik, and others are all gathered here.

Still, Marie’s face was not visible.

“The Ruhelif students are not here.”

Katherine speaks in a cold voice.

“Student Ruhelif was taken away by student Bamir. Their whereabouts are currently unknown.”

Faol Dungeon I’ve been to before.

However, this is the first Faol dungeon I’ve ever entered.

And probably the last Faol Dungeon.

Faol Dungeon is a dungeon mostly visited by first-year students, so there are no special monsters.

Most of them are beast monsters such as horn rabbits, dire wolves, and vampire bats.

Since there are only those who are not very good at detecting, there is no problem with an invisibility cloak and silent shoes. If you feel a bit uneasy, you can spray deodorant spray all over your body and you will never be discovered.

There will be no fighting.

‘… I wonder if Lucius will move slowly too.’

By now you should have noticed that Marie was not in the auditorium.

[Catherine] “A phoenix also appeared in the building where I was teaching.”

[Catherine] “I ordered the students to evacuate while I subdued the Phoenix. Ruhelif passed out in the classroom.”

[Catherine] “It was Bamir who took the fallen student Ruhelif out.”

[Rose] “Marie is with Elpis Bamir… What is that…”

[Catherine] “You don’t have to worry too much, Eiffeltein student.”

[Catherine] “So you must have taken Ruhelif to a safe place.”

After hearing those words, Rose leaves the auditorium to find Marie.

Worried about Rose, Lucius and the others follow along.

The content of this boss fight is to find Marie together.

Fortunately, Lucius and the others were able to find the traces that Elpis Bamir had ‘intentionally left behind’.

If you follow the trail, you will arrive at the Faol Dungeon here.

‘I have to arrive first before Lucius comes.’

At first, I thought of sending Lucius to the boss room first, then I would follow him…… In reality, there were many difficult parts.

Lucius has to fight several times to reach Faol Dungeon.

I have to meet and save a student infected with phoenix.

The leading members led by Belairam block the road and fight with them.

It even happens that you have to deal with the magic beasts that Elpis planted.

As usual, Lapis Car has a good search ability, so she might notice me.

For that reason, I thought it would be better for me to come earlier than to send Lucius first.

“I found it.”

Arrived at the end of the Fall Dungeon.

A dead end.

Exactly, it just looks like a dead end.

If you look up slightly, there is an unusually protruding part of the ceiling.

If you pick up a stone and throw it towards it, the blocked wall will open and a new path will appear.

I held my breath and stepped forward.

A feeling of pressure is transmitted, as if the body is being tightened.

The air quality was different. Breathing is choking, and a reluctance as if strangling is prevalent.

The unpleasant feeling of scratching one’s eyes and the sticky feeling of discomfort.

All kinds of unpleasant sensations knock on the skin.

I sneakily took out the order book for Warp Gate.

“……I can’t use it after all.”

I knew it sensibly. At this point, the technology of the system that connects to the outside cannot be used at all.

It would be impossible to communicate with the outside world with a skill like .

This is not due to the game system.

The setting itself is like that.

[Lapisca] “Lucius Junior, after that I investigated the Faol Dungeon. The stone statue we destroyed must have been sealed.”

[Lapisca] “What was sealed… I don’t know now, but it must have been quite dangerous.”

[Lapisca] “Because the space itself is completely cut off from the outside world.”

[Lapisca] “If I had to guess… Maybe ‘that monster’ was the guardian who was guarding the seal of the stone statue.”

[Lapisca] “Elpis Bamir kidnapped junior Marie Ruhelif and lured us into the Faol Dungeon.”

[Lapisca] “……And turning junior Marie Ruhelif into a monster and causing her to run amok must have been to awaken that monster.”

[Lapisca] “That monster cut off the space itself from the outside in order to keep the seal. It must have been so important that it had to be sealed.”

[Lapisca] “The purpose of Elpis Bamir…Was to make us defeat the monster and break the seal.”

Such a fact is only revealed after a long time.

In other words, from now on, it is impossible to ask for outside help, and it is impossible to escape by creating a warp gate.

Looking back.

The door you came in is still open.

If you go back, you can get out of here. In other words, if you want to go back, it’s only now.

After a moment of hesitation, I proceeded.

‘… Lucius just needs to defeat the boss anyway.’

Chapter 1 is generally low in difficulty. Lucius will never lose.

I’m not going to go into a fight anyway, and I came here because I wanted to see if Lucius would progress the story as well as the original.

That’s all.

I am here to hide and watch.

How long did it take?

It must have been well over 10 minutes since I passed through the secret door. The road was longer than expected.

At the end of a long walk, I finally find a vast space.

The first thing you see is a table.

And two girls sitting across a table.

Marie and Elpis were having a tea ceremony.
