Spirit Growth Promoting Ritual (3)
“Assistant Professor Evan!!”
“I really thought I was going to die... ... !!”
“I wouldn’t have died.”
Saying that, Lennok pushed the door open button on the instrument panel and quickly opened the train door.
Climbing on the train and glancing at the students scattered across the seats, Lennok quickly explained to Cassia how to operate the train’s instrument panel.
“If you press this button and pull the lever, automatic operation is possible with the speed fixed. To hold the brake, use this button... ... .”
“Wait a minute.”
Cassia cut off Lennok, holding her injured shoulder.
“The fact that you teach me how to operate the train... ... ?”
“Assistant Professor Cassia can drive this train and escape out of the school.”
At the same time as Lennok said that, another train car appeared as it slowly rolled down the rail on the other side.
Lennok smiled as he gestured back to point to the new train.
“Because I plan to go deeper into the university on that ride.”
“... ... .”
It was only then that Cassia realized how Lenok had intended to evacuate the students and deal with the mysterious palace at the same time, and Cassia opened her mouth wide.
“You are crazy. What does it mean to solve... ... ?”
“Anyway, this train will not be able to escape out of the school normally unless someone directly draws the attention of the mysterious palace.”
So said Lennok, glancing at Mila, who was out there fiddling with a shotgun.
“The two of us will hold on while attracting enough attention, so Assistant Professor Cassia, please go outside and ask for help from the outside.”
“... ... .”
Cassia, biting her lip, nodded with difficulty with a subdued expression.
“all right. There’s no way things will be resolved if you uselessly insist that I’ll help you now.”
“I thought you would understand.”
“But promise me you’ll focus only on what’s taking your time.”
Cassia shook her head with a determined expression.
“This is not Evan’s responsibility. Even if the dean suffers, you should put your own safety first. all right?”
“... ... .”
“If the director or dean were standing here, I would have said the same thing.”
“All right.”
Lennok nodded and got out of the car.
Cassia presses a button on the instrument panel with a blurry face, and the train starts moving slowly.
Relieved, the students who had been leaning back in the car rose from their seats in amazement when they saw Lennok standing outside the window.
“Assistant Professor Cho!! Where are you going!!”
“Let’s run away together!!”
“I have to stop the train... ... !!”
“Dabi!!!”
“I have work to do, so I will follow slowly.”
Lennox smiled and waved.
“I’m fine, everyone run away first.”
The spider spirits who had been lying on their stomachs around Lennok got up one by one and started approaching Lennok.
Spider spirits who have lost their owners run amok all over the dark terminal station and approach to covet life.
It was obvious what Evan would look like to the students when he was left among the spiders after the train was moving away.
“Oh no. If you stay here, surely... ... !!”
“Please come with me!!”
Students banging on the windows anxiously, showing reddened eyes.
Mila, who was piercing the jammed muzzle of the shotgun from the side, smiled at the students.
“You have good disciples. I know you’ll cry.”
“It just makes me feel ashamed when I meet them alive.”
“Oh, are you sure you can survive?”
“Rather than certainty... ... .”
Lennok laughed. It was pointless to even elaborate on it.
“Because everyone has their own circumstances.”
Mila nodded at Lennok, who was speechless, and turned her head as she reloaded her shotgun.
“I don’t know how the hell I got an exclusive security contract from our leader, but I’ll try my best first.”
With a grin, Mila raised her magic power and held out her shotgun at the approaching spiders.
Clap!!
“Let’s do our best so that we don’t die.”
“Oh, you don’t have to.”
“what?”
Lennok laughed and said as he grabbed Darby from the jump and hugged him.
“From now on, I plan to deal with it a little faster.”
[Partial Expansion of Spirit Hierarchy Common Magic]
Pajijijijik!!!
At that moment, a tremendous thunderbolt erupted from Darby’s body, and at the same time, three fox fires began to appear next to the spirit.
Surprising emotions spread on the faces of the students who watched the dazzling brilliance of lightning through the window of the train moving away.
“Tickling the stomach.”
Aaaaaaang!!
As if lighting up the lights of the dark station instead, the rotating fox fire chanted different lightning magics and turned all the spiders that attacked into ashes.
[Ki -e -e !!]
[Kighehe!]
A spider spirit that returns to a handful of ashes with a painful scream.
Milla looked back at Lennok with a look of bewilderment.
“... ... You mean you gave such a cute technical name to such a heinous magic?”
“Davi’s personal preference.”
Cassia shook her head at the sight of Lennok passing the blame on to Darby without blinking.
The three-pronged fox fire scattered brilliant electric lights between the spiders, and dozens of lightning bolts scattered and gathered, spraying a whirlwind of lightning into the underground terminal.
The shape of a little fox that does not stop at burning the spiders that rush into it, but actively burrows into and breaks through the spirits.
[Tot tot tot!!]
Mila stretches out a spider web with one hand and smiles.
Lennok, who was holding a lighter and burning the cobwebs clinging to the train, shook his head.
“What are you doing if you’re not a kid?”
“Wouldn’t the kids rather like this situation? It’s fun.”
“I don’t think there is a child who would like human-sized spiders... ... .”
Lennok replied, secretly checking the reverberation of magic power left in the spider’s web without Mila’s knowledge.
‘The remaining magic power is excessively activated... ... .’
A tank spider that far exceeded the size of a normal spirit. Dozens of spider spirits popped out one after another as if they were giving birth to such a spider.
Although the entire train was crushed and dealt with quickly, isn’t it too powerful for a single shaman to command?
‘But he’s too weak to be a master who grew up eating wizards again... ... . Haven’t you started the ritual properly yet?’
The fact that the shamans who invaded the Department of Elements caught and imprisoned the students was probably in preparation for processing them as offerings.
If the true growth-promoting ritual had begun and the spirits possessed by the shamans of the Mystic Palace had begun to grow, there would be no way it would end like this.
The two soon succeeded in removing the cobwebs stuck around the train and moving the train without difficulty.
Clap!! Woooooo!!
“The instrument panel works fine. Fortunately, it doesn’t look like the cobwebs got mixed up into the engine room.”
“Good. So, are you going to kill the chief shaman right now?”
“What are you talking about?”
Looking at Mila, who naturally said let’s go face to face with the head of the mysterious shrine, Lennok asked back.
“There’s no way that an ordinary researcher like me could deal with such a high-ranking shaman from such an evil criminal organization.”
“... ... .”
In spite of Mila’s gaze, which looked somewhat fat, Lennok laid down the steel plate and worked hard to appeal his situation.
“Somehow, my spirit awakened and showed good results, but of course such a dangerous criminal should be entrusted to the city government’s security organization.”
“I’m just an ordinary researcher... ... what do you know My job was to protect my younger brother, the teacher.”
Mila nodded with a sour expression and asked as if she remembered something.
“If that’s the case, why don’t you just run away with the students instead of staying here?”
“Oh, that’s impossible again.”
Lennok shook his head.
“If someone doesn’t draw attention from this side, there’s no way the shaman of the Kaising Palace will let the students escape.”
“... ... .”
“Well, it’s clear that this is the right choice. Other students haven’t learned how to protect themselves yet.”
Leaving Mila silent, Lennok said, catching Darby who ran up the wall of the station.
“Once things are sorted out, I will have to propose an agenda to move the battle magic proficiency course curriculum down to the second year... ... . Of course, if the administration staff are still alive.”
Crucially, this is the only way to properly relieve the load without sacrificing other students.
No matter how good Lennok played as an elemental magician, fighting and winning against shamans accompanied by dozens of students was a lot of work.
Even if they fight and win in the process, it is unavoidable that the eyes of doubt are drawn to the abilities of Lennok or Darby.
Rather, it would be desirable to evacuate the students safely and to deal with the shamans of the Goddess Palace properly while Lennok and Mila fall apart in the process.
“... ... Okay, I know what our teacher thinks. But attracting attention is not going to be enough.”
Milla asked, slumped in the couch behind Lennox.
“If it’s not to the extent of attacking to kill the head of the Ghost Shrine, it’ll be difficult to keep other shamans on our side.”
“As I said, you don’t have to deal directly with the head of the Ghost Shrine. I’m not even sure I can do that.”
Saying that, Lennok manipulated the instrument panel and started moving the train slowly.
The train, which starts to move quickly off the tracks, speeds out of the station and speeds up.
Kagagak!!
With the cool noise of train wheels scraping between the tracks, the surrounding scenery changes from points to lines.
Lennok, who moved the lock on the instrument panel to set the speed of the train, turned to Mila and nodded.
“So we’ll go find the dean from now on.”
“... ... what?”
Seeing Mila’s dazed expression, Lennok got up from his seat and started rummaging through the shelves inside the cab.
“It’s clear that the dean’s spirit is inside the school at the time he calls for help. Spirits and sorcerers cannot be far apart unless they meet special abilities or conditions.”
Lennok, who quickly found daily necessities including a disposable coffee pot and cups of refreshments, replied belatedly to Mila’s words.
“Then, even though the dean himself is inside the school, he is in such a difficult situation that he cannot help in any way. Doesn’t the answer come out if you think about it by linking this with the shamans of the Mystic Shrine?”
It was only then that Mila’s expression changed slightly as she understood the meaning of Lennok’s words.
“The shamans of the Kaijin Palace are holding Dean Garteanon hostage?”
“To be precise, we plan to use it as a top-notch offering for the Spirit Growth Promotion Ceremony.”
said Lennok, quickly brewing two cups of coffee and handing them to Mila.
“Didn’t I say that we would start with a low-ranking wizard and gradually increase the purity of the ritual?”
“... ... “
That means, in other words, that a high-ranking mage is also needed to properly complete the ritual.”
“The Dean of Garteanon is being held hostage to be a ceremonial offering... ... Certainly, otherwise, I cannot explain the current situation.”
After Mila said that, she tilted her head.
“However, I know that the dean himself is a level 7 Aspect Wizard and a veteran who has participated in the Great War, so he was taken hostage?”
“Even the dean himself probably didn’t intend to be caught meekly.”
Lennok muttered as he sipped his coffee.
“I wonder if you were subdued unintentionally by taking students and school officials hostage.”
If it was the dean he knew, there was no way he would have become a hostage even after being aware of the existence of shamans.
However, it is not difficult to understand if it was forced to be an offering due to various factors that interfered with the battle process.
In the process, Lennok sensed that the dean had sent a spirit to ask for help, and was thinking of going to rescue him.
“As Mila said, Dean Cyolus is an excellent 7th-level Aspect Magician and a superhuman with a long history of experience.”
Lennok shrugged, looking at Mila’s face, which hadn’t caught on yet.
“So, if we succeed in rescuing the dean, wouldn’t we have to worry about who will deal with the head of the Kaisingung?”
“Right... ... I understand.”
Mila’s expression was tinged with admiration when she understood why Lennok wasn’t paying much attention to the head of the mysterious palace.
“We’re looking for the dean, and the head of the mysterious palace entrusts the opponent to that old man. Are you a genius in mercenary art?”
From the beginning, Lennok had no intention of solving the case alone.
If you deal with the mysterious palace alone as Evan Bylon, you will only draw attention to the bad side.
We need someone to find a clue to solve the problem and come forward instead of Lennok and take responsibility.
Lennok knew early on that the only person who could pull off the job was Dean Cyolas Garteanon.
“I think I have a rough idea of where the dean will be.”
Lenok, who operated the train’s instrument panel to speed up, opened the map.
“Now I think I can see where to end this situation.”
