This may be the first time in hundreds of years that Cutrice College has been built, and what was once "the safest place in the area around Cutrice" has now become a source of chaos.

Even though they had absolute confidence in the school's defensive capabilities, the young apprentices were shocked when the situation that they could only encounter in illusion on a normal day really appeared in front of them. Living in times of peace, they have never encountered even the slightest dangerous monsters, let alone fighting enemies full of malice.

For today's apprentices, what they need is not a naïve hero, but a leader who can effectively guide them to safety. There are still many apprentices left on the Catrice campus after dark, and every minute of delay is likely to increase the number of victims.

"While the academicization of sorcerers can certainly improve the efficiency of the popularization of application-based spells, limiting the popularity of combat spells is also an effective measure to maintain social stability. Lizzie, who didn't know where she was, was talking in Curt's head, as if she had anticipated the trouble that the Academy was encountering now. "But on the other hand, mages who lack actual combat training are beasts with their fangs removed, and they may not even be able to protect themselves. ”

Once a handful of elitist sorcerers, they have otherworldly powers, allowing even an ordinary apprentice to use the power of magic to turn offending enemies to ashes. It is for this reason that sorcerers who look like ordinary people are often the object of awe.

But now that spells have become more popular, the fear of the unknown has turned into a subtle trust. The sorcerers, who are like the spokesmen of the gods, have also broken away from the criticism of "powerful but dangerous" and have become "trustworthy forces"—nature. They are also much less powerful than before.

A spell isn't just power, but it does have a lot of power.

If the power of access to "knowledge" is to be limited, then it is only necessary to appropriately limit the access to this "knowledge". Not limited to spells. This is true of all weapons, they can easily threaten the lives of ordinary people, so it is necessary to restrict their storage.

The problem, however, is that the legalized provisions can only limit those who comply with them, and for some of those who are going to violate them in the first place, they are nothing more than ink on the printed matter. And when these forces are used to harm those who obey the rules, the good people are powerless to resist.

Limit power. In order to stabilize society, it is empowering to avoid harm to the weak...... It's always a dilemma. From a time when the world was still shrouded in obscurity. Power is often confined to the hands of a few, who fear that the oppressed have the power to rival them.

Of course, the Dominion allows residents to have a certain range of armed forces, from neighborhood defense squads to militia groups such as mercenaries. As long as they can prove it and keep a record, they can hold the appropriate level of defensive armament. However, the Wizard Apprentice who is studying at the school is not among them.

So they could only flee in wolves.

Thankfully, the college was able to maintain an evacuation contact in an emergency. As a result, most of the students were able to find a place to evacuate in the fastest possible time.

"Until I accept Dean François's request to join the underground passages to find you. Most of the apprentices have taken refuge in the designated locations. Aurodin pointed at the screen with his metal claws, and the images in the projection switched several times in an instant, "But because the guards who remain in the academy's territory are not well manned, we can't effectively stop the other party from making further moves." ”

Abbot François, after assigning this guard to Curt, hurried with several others to the ruins of the abbey of Wigias. According to the guards and college guards who remained there, an anomalous magical reaction appeared near the monastery, very similar to the "twilight" that appeared at the time.

"Damn, it's definitely a trap. ”

A sorcerer gritted his teeth and said, "Those guys are going to attack the Academy. That's why I managed to transfer the dean away in the name of 'abnormal situation'. If Dean François was in the academy, they might not dare to come here to seek death, even if they borrowed a dozen of them. ”

With this sentence overflowing with anger. Intense love began to spread among the group of sorcerers. They were all graduates of Catrice College, and now seeing these enemies wreaking havoc on their alma mater, a burning rage hung over everyone's hearts.

"Please calm down. "I can understand your anger, but you must understand that letting it spread is the least efficient way to deal with it. ”

Rather than be angry, it is better to act as much as possible - Aurodin expressed his opinion succinctly and forcefully. This mechanical lifeform may seem cold and unkind, but it is definitely not one of those lifeless, cold pieces of iron. His body contains souls that those puppets don't have.

Now that there was no time for them to vent their emotions, or even a chance to regain their energy, they were forced to rush to the next battlefield. The guards, who had not yet had time to show their ambitions, were carried by Ojordin on improvised stretchers of metal shards and transported to the nearby infirmary.

"Mr. Leinster, please...... Wait, where are you going? President François has asked us to return to the ground at once to defend against further enemy movements!"

The academy guard who had previously organized the mages to deal with the Chimera attack remembered Curt's presence before leaving. And just as he was about to call Curt to join him, he saw the sick mercenary preparing to go to the labyrinthine depths of the underground passage.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry for me and Dean François. ”

Curt picked up a fragment of the fence from the metal remaining on the ground, and waved it lightly in his hand: "My companion is still in the underground passage, and I can't safely return to the surface without finding her." And...... Even if I want to go back, you'll have to leave someone behind to cut me off, right?"

He pointed to the other side of the passage, where a humanoid silhouette loomed from the entrance of the passage where the Chimera Soldier had walked earlier. By the light that had been lit earlier, the sorcerer could faintly see that the silhouette had the shape of a hill, and that its thick body was carved with dense ancient scripts.

"W-What the hell is this!"

He had already known that this would be the entrance for the other party to continue their march, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. After the group of chimera soldiers was defeated by the spell array they had formed, the opposing party once again sent out the attacking dignitaries. No matter how you look at it, this guy is a tough enemy.

"Scan: The target is not a living body, but a mana-powered stitched corpse, with the mana cores that provide the power source in the head and abdomen. After analysis, the information of its torso is that of a wasteland monster, and the information of its limbs is that of Cave King Kong...... It is speculated that it should be able to swing the corresponding function of the first seventy percent. ”

A faint blue light shines from the lens on Aurordine's skeleton towards the slowly approaching massive body, illuminating its image in detail. The body was so swollen that it looked like it had been carved out of rock, and its arms and skulls were crooked...... It's just a standard stitched corpse shape.

"Thank you for your analysis, Orodin, I'll treat you to a drink after the first qiē is over. Curt smiled and thanked Ojordin for analyzing the enemy's situation, "If I'm not mistaken, you probably prefer the oil extracted from those fossil fuels." ”

With that, he smiled, and his murderous gaze shot at the slowly approaching corpse. He held the iron rod in his hand like a short sword, and at the same time took a deep breath to refine the magic power, pouring it into the iron rod, and the black and dull metal was immediately plated with a dull white sheen.

"Yes, I will report the situation to Dean Cruise François. Ojordin didn't take Curt's casual jokes, but he didn't stop him either, "I'll have the academy guards cordon off the nearby intersections, so please be careful when moving through the underpasses." ”

Curt was chosen by Dean François to solve the problem, and Aurrodin believed he had some ability. So after the last academy guard ran to the exit, he also followed and turned away. The only thing left in the dark passage was Curt and the stumbling enemies that were approaching.

Just as the magicians left the hallway, the other party sped up. Unfortunately, no matter how much it moved its legs, its rotting limbs could only move slowly on the ground. As it moved forward, it shook its forearm, which was as thick as a tree trunk, and it was indeed a limb that belonged to the cave Kong, and the wall that was slapped by the stitched arm made a muffled sound of destruction, and large cracks appeared.

Curt had to admit that if only the strength was considered, this monster made of stitched corpses was more powerful than those chimera soldiers. But like those guys, it's clearly flawed - its head is rotten, and it lacks the necessary thinking skills.

The moment it slammed against the wall, Curt's body turned into a black shadow. He lunged into the other's arms, then stabbed the sharp head of the iron rod into the rotting head like a sword. The mana-infused piece of metal had a sharpness that it didn't have, and in an instant, it split its head in half.

Ding, ding, ding......

The crooked head was reduced to pieces of flesh by Curt's slash with an iron rod, and a glittering lapis lazuli flew out of the crack and fell into a nearby corner. Curt could tell that the lapis lazuli was exactly the same as the one that Lizzie had taken out of the rock spiders.

And along with the lapis lazuli, there was also a foul-smelling gas. (To be continued!)
