"This magic.—" Halwick looked at the parchment roll again.

"It's something that a crazy archmage researched it." Harrison said. "You're right, these spells are twisted, crazy, weird, and much weaker than your research."

"Six people survived the Morris family?" Halwick asked noncommittally about Harrison's assessment.

"Well, they're all people who helped each other and supported each other to survive before." Harrison said. "Actually, according to the effect of magic, they are mortal. When the doors on both sides open, they will be greeted by a room full of spikes and flames.... But at that time, I received a hint that the accumulation of pain was enough. Magic won't come back to me anymore, so I let them all out. ”

"Got it right." Halwick said, ticking a tick on the test report in front of him.

"The rating is: B+."

"Not even an A?" Harrison's voice looked a little frustrated.

"Overall, you're doing a good job. Although in many places, it would be better to do some more testing. Halwick said.

"You're talking about what kind of damage I'll take if I can't complete the target specified by this magic.... Is this the kind of thing? Harrison asked.

"I've prepared 'delayed damage', and it's not impossible to do that." Halwick said. "You're more safety-conscious, and I'm not incomprehensible. But judging from the results of the experiment, I can only give you this evaluation. ”

"It's... I'm sorry...," Harrison said, bowing his head. "At that time, I only thought that they would dare to attack us, and the most important thing was to kill them..."

"You're doing a good job of that." Halwick said. "After that, the raid on Morris's house was handed over to you. After that, you can apply for more assistants, access higher-level materials, request higher-scale experiments, and more materials. ”

"That's what you deserve when you win. I will never detain you. However, in terms of experiments, I can only give you a B+ evaluation, this, no way. ”

Solidify and fade.

"Mirador, you don't have any enemies here?"

Hughes asked at the window of a tower, in front of a group of gray-robed mages.

"yes." The gray-robed mage known as Mirasol replied. "The aristocratic army has not been seen until now."

"Which family is responsible for attacking you?" Hughes said, pulling out a piece of paper. "The front is the Lucier family, the cloister we are stationed in is the Saidosili family, the underground laboratory is the Morris family, and the tower is here..."

"According to the intelligence, it's the Modler family." Mirasol said. "But, for so long, not even their shadow appeared. Our defensive magic white is ready...."

"Where's Tonks?" Hughes asked, looking at the skeleton behind him. "Isn't he here with you?"

"Nope." Mirasol said. "He just came to report and left."

"Could it be that he stopped the Modler family's attack?" Hughes said this, looking into the distance. "With his kind of persuasion?"

Hearing this, the surrounding mages all laughed. Some even put their staffs away.

"Maybe." Mirasol said. "But doesn't he have a grudge against those nobles? When the victory or defeat is not scored, he may not dare to go. ”

"It's hard to say." Hughes looked left and right, lowering his voice. "This time it happened very suddenly, maybe Tonks did something in it."

"What do you mean?" Mirasol also lowered her voice.

"We interrogated the captives before, and the soldiers of the nobles were assembled in a hurry." Hughes said. "A lot of soldiers, I didn't expect us to prepare so much powerful magic to deal with them."

"I was surprised, too." Mirasol said. "All of a sudden, this kind of experiment... If the Modler family really doesn't come, how should I write my report? Subject senses danger and has not been able to enter the planned site? But the casting materials have already been used.... How low will the reviews be? ”

He said this, looking around. "Perhaps, we can only take the initiative. At the main entrance, Joey didn't seem to have settled the Lucille family yet. ”

"Those nobles may also be preparing some kind of conspiracy." Hughes said. "It's better to be careful. Lucill's house...."

He paused before he could say what he had said. "It's not easy to mess with."

"They have gathered the largest number and the most well-equipped soldiers." Mirasol said, clapping her hands suddenly. "I understand why these three families are not actively attacking, they want to see the results of the Lucier family!"

"See the results?" Hughes asked.

"Yes." Mirasol said. "These families have suffered a lot in the previous confrontation with the Lucier family, and they are not satisfied with the Lucier family."

"If the Lucilles can make a breakthrough head-on and show signs of defeating us, they will start to move and attack us to fight for credit. But if the attack of the strongest Lucill's family does not go well, or even is defeated by our people, then they will just give up. ”

"Give up?" Hughes wondered.

"Yes, these families have a lot of children in the mage group." Mirasol said. "Do you think that if these people go to Professor Halwick and say that their family doesn't want to fight and wants peace to be restored, will the professor say yes?"

"I don't think I will refuse." Hughes thought about it for a moment. "If they support him as prime minister."

"What's the point of the Lucilles' refusal to support them if they fail?" Mirasol said. "Won't you just beat them again?"

"Makes sense." Hughes said. "In that case..."

"Then, it's time to act now." Mirasol said. "You have defeated the family of Saidocili and captured the Duke of Saidocili; Harrison's side defeated the Morris family and killed Duke Morris. On the Lucier family's side, I'm afraid it won't last long, and if you don't rush over quickly, there will be no chance of meritorious service at all! ”

"You're going to take someone to the main entrance?" Hughes looked around. "So what about here?"

"It's going to be fine here." Mirasol said. "After we leave, some of the defensive magic will still be left here. Even if the Modler family changes their minds and attacks, they will be able to hold out for a long time.... We can rush back then. ”

"The lab report... You're applying for a defensive magic experiment. Hughes said. How else is it done? ”

"If you stay here, you can't really write a report." Mirasol said. "If the enemy doesn't attack, how can you cast defensive magic?"
