25 – Festival and Colosseum (6)

A deep feeling of exhaustion ran through his body.

It was because he was concentrating on the final match.

“Ah… I will die.”

Since the top 3rd year of the Faculty of Swordsmanship was strong enough to make it to the quarterfinals, I had no choice but to do my best.

[Summoning] A large amount of mana used to use magic and the concentration poured into manipulating [Vita Taker].

The fatigue that came from that came at once after the game and pressed every corner of my body.

Still, it was a satisfactory achievement to endure this pain.

‘Status… Not bad.’

It was [Vita Taker] that I took out after a long time.

[Vita Taker] is the second golem I made in my life.

I made it with a bit of greed to get rid of the prejudice that golems are slow, but it turned out to be a surprisingly successful golem.

So even after making it for the first time, I made some modifications to it in the hopes of achieving good performance.

There was no space in the cramped room of the dormitory to store this huge guy.

So, I left it as it was in the laboratory in the family basement.

Last winter vacation, I visited my family and briefly checked it, but it was still a summoning in three months.

It felt so good because it seemed to move much more smoothly than I thought.

“Satchel, Satchel! Here it is, here!”

As I sighed and headed for the audience, a familiar voice greeted me.

It was Shunica who waved her hand with a bright face.

Is it that good that I won?

I waved my hand, feeling the laughter coming out of that cheerful look.

However, as I walked to the spot where she was, there were new familiar faces.

“Professor Meline? and… Professor Bluecliffe?”

It was my professor, Lafury Melaine, my junior, Delia, and her father, Welter Bluecliffe.

Apparently, until just now, it was a large seat with just the three of me, Ruen, and Shunika…

All of a sudden, the seats seemed to be full with three more people.

“hmm. Are you here?”

Professor Meline said in his characteristic hard tone.

However, judging by the slight movement of the corners of her mouth, I could tell that she looked quite happy.

Other people may not notice, but my eyes see it.

Maybe it’s because I showed the way I use the golem.

Professor Meline is the only professor I consider my teacher at the academy.

Perhaps she also thinks of me as a qualified student because I was the first undergraduate she encountered after taking up the post.

It was understandable that he was happy to see his pupil create magic tools and even use golems.

Even so, it’s a magic tool that makes even Professor Meline, who was so blunt, reveal his emotions…

Golems were truly amazing magic tools.

“Nice to meet you, Sacher student. It’s the first time I’ve seen it since last year’s class.”

Professor Bluecliffe gave me a light greeting.

For some reason, Delia, who was sitting next to her, was wearing her signature restless expression.

I lightly greeted Delia and replied.

“Hello professor.”

“The game was really good. Since when did you know how to handle a golem?”

“Oh, what… ”

I didn’t feel the need to answer.

It was polite to refrain from asking the alchemist questions related to crafting magic tools.

He probably wasn’t even asking for an answer.

Professor Bluecliffe continued by inviting me to take a seat.

“Your understanding of magic is always amazing. If you’re good enough to handle a golem, not only your magic response, but also your magic control must be delicate and excellent. If he had learned combat magic, he would have become a talented person who would rewrite the history of the Faculty of Magic. It would be great if you transferred to the Faculty of Magic… .”

Realized.

The reason Delia embarrassed me by painting my face with gold was a genetic inheritance from my father.

When I openly praised me in front of Professor Melaine and all my friends, I felt a little embarrassed.

“It is overrated. And as I’ve said many times, I like Alchemy. I have no thoughts of a criminal record.”

I don’t take classes very well, but I still like the Faculty of Alchemy.

I had two close juniors that I didn’t have in other departments, and I’m now very close to Professor Melaine, the professor in charge.

I was grateful to have a little bit of convenience in grades, and all the professors, including the dean of Opert, are good people.

More than anything, I really liked working at the Alchemy Shop now.

It was fun to create new products, and it was fun to see people like and buy my magic tools.

I was the one who liked original alchemy, so I had no thoughts of a criminal record last year…

This year, there was not even a hint of worry left.

He licked his lips and expressed deep regret.

“It’s too bad. So, I’m going to get right to the point… Are you okay?”

After all, it didn’t seem like they just came to watch my game.

Unless it was Professor Melin, there was no way Professor Bluecliffe would come to cheer me on out of the blue.

I nodded.

“Yes, feel free to speak.”

“After this festival, I want you to accompany us on our exploration of the Red and Black Gate.”

“… Gate exploration?”

gate exploration?

Turning her head slightly, Professor Melaine nodded as if she knew, and Delia looked puzzled.

It seems that he came with his father and did not even know what was going on.

Professor Bluecliffe calmly continued.

“The president’s instructions about the red and black gate you reported about came in. With the support of all faculties within the academy, research and report on the gate. First of all, I am going to approach it without letting go of the possibility that the gate is a special gate that creates a dungeon.”

That was a possibility worth considering.

The gate at that time showed a bizarre color with the combination of black and red.

The basic gate theory is that black gates are invasion gates and red gates are special gates.

However, the invasion gate is a kind of dimensional passage that only appears once every 10 years, when a demon war occurs.

The most recent demon war occurred four years ago.

There were still 6 years left until the next war, and the fact that the invasion gates had already been activated did not fit the theory.

Therefore, Professor Bluecliffe’s words, approaching under the assumption that the gate is a special gate, were close to the truth.

“Assuming that the gate is a special gate, we cannot confirm the grade of the undiscovered dungeon that will occur. I’m thinking of organizing the best party with support from each faculty and going on an expedition.”

“The best party… ”

“Professor Jake Darunstud, Dean of the Faculty of Swordsmanship. Professor Julian Tariere, Dean of the Divinity Faculty. And Professor Lafury Meline of the Faculty of Alchemy, Professor Python of the Faculty of Special Studies, and I will participate in the Faculty of Magic.”

and. As soon as I heard it, I was blown away.

Literally the best party, the member with the jaw dropping.

Professor Bluecliffe, the dean of both faculties and the mid-level professor of the Faculty of Magic.

And even Professor Meline, a talented professor who won the title of professor at a young age.

I didn’t know Professor Python from the Department of Special Education, but he must be a very talented person to join this party anyway.

With this level of members, no matter how high the grade of an undiscovered dungeon is, it is possible to break through in a short period of time.

when you find the gate.

Even then, I was not in a good mood because of the ominous feeling…

After reporting it, I felt fortunate to see things being handled so quickly.

But Professor Bluecliffe added that this was not the end.

“I want you to join this party as an assistant.”

“yes? me?”

I asked in surprise.

Why is my name suddenly appearing here?

Not only me, but Ruen, Schunika, and Delia who were listening together all looked at us with surprised faces.

No one would have guessed that the meaning of the companion he was talking about at first would be the companion of such a high-ranking party.

Even if the other kids are like that, what is Delia really like?

It looked like he couldn’t follow even a part of his father’s words.

Perhaps she just came to cheer for her and is going through something unexpected.

Only Professor Meline was calm as if he already knew.

However, judging from the slight frown on his face, it was something he didn’t like.

“There is a big reason why this party was created to prepare for undiscovered dungeons, but the core purpose is to explore the dark red gate. I want you to help me as an assistant to research what kind of gate this gate is and what purpose it was built for.”

“I don’t know much about gates… ”

“Don’t worry. All you have to do is focus on researching the magic circuit contained in the gate. Of all the undergraduates and researchers I’ve seen so far, you have the best understanding of magic circuits. If you help me by your side, I will be able to finish my research quickly.”

It was a pretty engaging story.

I was the type to never let go of a field that sparked my interest.

He is the type who is interested in whatever kind it is, digs into it, and ends up solving what he was curious about.

The reason why I received an A+ grade in the ‘Understanding Magical Circuit’ class was also there.

Because one of the fields I was most interested in was ‘magic circuit’.

In that respect, the exploration and research on the ‘gate magic circuit’ proposed by Professor Bluecliffe was a very interesting story for me.

But it was just as dangerous.

No matter how good your skills are at a party attended by the dean of the department, it is reckless for undergraduate students to participate.

I didn’t know what kind of danger lurked in the undiscovered dungeon that appeared when there was a special gate.

Professor Melaine is making a displeased expression, probably for that reason.

After thinking about it for a while, I politely declined.

“sorry. Still, I think it’s too risky for me. Maybe the professors… ”

Then Professor Bluecliffe said.

“The president said that if you take on this job with the consent of the president, you will receive all of your credits for this semester.”

“What can I do? cooking? Organize your luggage? map management? Leave it to me, Professor.”

… … .

There are two other undergraduate courses that are in crisis because of the midterm exams.

I was a slave to grades that I couldn’t help.
