Chapter 55 – Dungeon Practice (5)

It was finally the day of the dungeon practice.

For that reason, everyone is gathered in the central plaza, not in the classroom.

However, I often saw those who looked like knights at a glance, and students wearing priestly uniforms with the academy’s logo on their uniforms.

This must be because not only the students from the Faculty of Magic, who were accustomed to it, but also the students from the Faculty of Knights and Divine Sciences gathered.

There are only 10 people in Class A of each department, but since there are three departments, there are roughly 40 people.

As there were a lot of people, the noise was louder than usual.

-Huh! Even though it’s for practice, it’s the lowest level dungeon.
-Don’t underestimate me too much. I heard from my brother that the professors set the trap themselves.
-Even so, it’s not alone, it’s the three of us, and it’s not like we’re only dealing with miscellaneous guys who can’t even touch the boss.

Yes.

As expected, rather than worrying, everyone seems confident.

I think I know a little about what Iona said the other day, that there are people who say that there is no problem with being alone because they are conceited.

If the Faculty of Knights is at that level, in the Faculty of Magic, which is needlessly proud, there might be someone who really insists on going alone.

… At least that won’t be this year.

Familiar faces that had matured unwillingly looked at the idiots in the Faculty of Engineering as if they were pitiful.

Okay.

The academy couldn’t have planned a practice that wasn’t stupid and didn’t mean anything.

Now, those guys are going to stutter quite a bit in real life, which is different from what was expected.

What… There’s no need to be too nervous though.

I packed all the things I specially ordered from Fay for today, and I learned a lot during this time.

It’s sad that Karla, who has always been by my side until now, can’t keep up….

I can’t help it.

Instead, he mingled among her attendants and lightly waved at Carla, who was watching over her.

Then, as if she were seeing a young child going out on an errand for the first time, Karla made a stern expression with eyes filled with pride and concern.

Why are you talking like that when you’ve also cleared the dungeon during Geff, which is much more difficult than the practice dungeon? ?

Karla laughed at her unusualness and patted her chest with the meaning that it was okay.

Only then, as if she was relieved, Carla’s expression relaxed.

But I wonder if there are people who are offended by my ostentatious behavior. Someone started poking me in the shoulder.

What?

I looked back with a little annoyance, but… This soon turned into pure wonder.

That would be the case, because the person behind me was none other than Elisha.

Stop talking about commoners and stay still! It’s not the same meaning, but there must be something to say.

“Glenciel?”

“Good morning, Yandel. By the way, what was that from a while ago?”

“No big deal. Carla seemed to be worried about me, so she only reassured me a little.”

“Oh? I always feel this, but the master-servant relationship is so beautiful. After the entrance ceremony, I found out separately, but… They say that ordinary masters and slaves don’t get along like you.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

I am also aware that Karla and I are not in an ordinary master-servant relationship. I don’t know if I should put a name here.

Anyway, I’m going to have to poke a little while the words came out.

Shrugged her shoulders and continued.

“In addition to her classes, I am learning magic separately from Karla. He’s doing something different from a normal slave, so you shouldn’t treat him like a normal slave.”

“Do it. Yandel, your absurd growth rate didn’t just pop out for no reason. Mmmm.”

Elisha smiled softly and nodded her head.

No, tell me something about mana cores. I care so much!

But maybe this inner cry didn’t reach me?

Elisha just wiggled her huge bun, which she didn’t know how to hold, and gave her a pat on my shoulder.

“Then, as always, please show a good image in this practice.”

With that word, Elisha takes her own followers and walks away.

After all, Karla’s mana core was not even mentioned today.

… Actually, isn’t this a ploy to drive me crazy with my nerves?

Of course not, but it’s frustrating enough to think that way.

It took a while for me to sigh and scratch the back of my head.

Before long, she raised her head at the sound of her familiar voice.

“Quiet everyone! Quiet! I’m going to tell you something important from now on, so shut your mouth and open your ears!”

“… Professor Iona. How old are your students, how can you treat them like children?”

“Professor Jason is like a baby to me, right?”

“Ah.”

Iona, who tilted her head with a smile as usual, and her bald, muscular hulking body that was beaten for trying to pin her down on Iona.

An old woman in a nun’s uniform intervened between the embarrassed two.

“Let’s do that, both of you. Are the children still watching?”

“That’s right! Exactly as Professor Christina said! Why are you interfering, Professor Jason!”

“Are you blaming me for this?! Ay! That’s it! I, the youngest, will explain, so the older two should rest in the back!”

A bald professor who grumbles and steps in front of the statue of the hero Rahim, the center of the central plaza.

If Iona is the professor in charge of Class A of the Faculty of Magic, Jason is the professor in charge of Class A of the Faculty of Magic, while Christina, the old woman with a benevolent expression behind her, is the professor in charge of Class A of the Divinity Faculty.

“Ah! Can you hear me? Then, before going straight to the dungeon, let me briefly explain the rules!”

A voice resounding through the central plaza, perhaps using an aura.

But it was something I knew all about.

I’ll roughly go to the front of the dungeon through the teleportation gate, and I’ll form a party there.

The dungeon is a field dungeon in the form of a forest, and you can catch any number of miscellaneous mobs, but don’t catch the boss.

After entering, you may freely roam the dungeon and fight, but do not fight with other parties.

If you bring treasures hidden here and there, as well as loot from monsters, points will be awarded accordingly, and a shop will be given to the top scoring party.

When the time limit has elapsed, the exit point will signal you, so gather there immediately. If you are late, you will be deducted points, etc.

It was something I had already heard from Iona, and since it was the rules of the dungeon practice that she was tired of during her H&A days, she listened with one ear and let it out with the other.

More importantly, how should she naturally take the party members and go to the place where the Hidden Peace is….

It wasn’t long before she made plans like this in her head.

As if all the explanations were over before I knew it, Iona switched places with Jason and moved forward.

An enormous amount of mana gushed out from Iona.

“Huh….”
“Are you trying to open the teleport gate alone? Is it strategic magic?”
“This is a road-class vampire who survived the war of the gods… ?”

Students in astonishment regardless of department. It was the same for me too.

It was a simple mana pressure without any particular malice, so I could endure a little longer with a large amount of mana….

Still, being overwhelmed at the moment couldn’t be helped.

Come to think of it, is this the first time I’ve seen Iona use her strength properly?

In the game, they just say yap after the dialogue and create a gate, so I didn’t think it was that great.

I’ll see for myself.

Excluding the headmaster who is the archmage, being the strongest in the academy wasn’t just a saying.

Iona, who had a slightly serious expression unlike her usual, licked her lips nonstop, and then she stretched her hand out in front of her.

Ugh-

According to that hand gesture, a huge amount of mana gathered all at once.

Then, a small red glow appeared in the air.

The light, which was constantly spitting out sparks as if it were fireworks, stretched like a rubber band in an instant and was fixed in a large oval shape.

… Is it because the color is red? It’s like looking at a gate to some kind of hell.

However, the landscape reflected inside the bloody oval was not a place where flames flowed like a river and monsters roamed around in groups, but a place like a small base where many people came and went.

The staff of the academy would reside there and manage the dungeon periodically.

Despite the bewildered expressions of the students, Iona was as proud as usual.

“What? What? Why are you all blank! Was I great? Huh? Right? Then clap your hands quickly! And Professor Iona is amazing! Let’s go in while shouting!”

“””…….”””

It didn’t take long for the students’ wonder to turn into trembling.

***

The gate that everyone crossed while praising Iona one by one.

The party members I met before the dungeon… Exceeded my expectations in a good way.

First of all, Vincent Grenadine from the Faculty of Engineering.

He is a typical knight from the martial arts family, and although his skills are good, he is weak in actual combat and is unable to show off his skills properly.

Since I am the type that is strong in actual combat, the prediction that at least one person would be a weak type in actual combat was correct.

What’s important is what comes next.

Her hair, which was tied together for ease of movement, shimmered in gold that resembled the sunlight.

The beautiful features always have a gentle smile, and just looking at them makes me feel at ease.

She is the last woman who puts on her white priest’s uniform instead of her school uniform, and has her academy’s logo affixed to her swollen chest.

Helena.

She is a student at the Faculty of Divinity who became the same party as me….

She is also a candidate for the Saint of the Righteous Light Church.

She was contemplating how to contact the Righteous Church of Light, but never thought she would meet her like this.

Thinking she was lucky, the moment she opened her mouth to briefly introduce herself.

Helena, who came one step ahead of him, her golden eyes twinkled.

“Brother.”

“Oh, yes. What is it, priest?”

“Are you going to fight?”

“?”

Why are you suddenly quarreling… ?
