The Teachers' Building is a three-storey U-shaped stone building located in front of the school gate.

The first floor is the reception room and student union office where visitors and teachers meet, the second floor is the faculty room, the third floor is the room of the principal and vice principal, and the reception room for members of the royal family. Visit the nobility and that's it.

As we approached the teacher's building from the cafeteria, a soldier noticed the commotion and rushed at us, but the hostages were used as a shield to prevent us from approaching.

Since I was not wearing a uniform, a man in black questioned my identity, but thanks to Mr. Rumbert telling me that he was the one who had come to transport the experimental materials, I was saved.

To the blacks, it didn't seem like a problem to have at least one bad-looking cat man mixed in with them.

I wanted to leave immediately after the riot, but Professor Mendez stopped me.

Without knowing the number of opponents or their goals, you can't possibly move improperly and hurt someone.

From a teacher's point of view, ensuring the safety of students must be an absolute requirement.

All the magic guns in the black's hands were as if they were real, and as he moved towards the teacher's building, he actively fired magic at the soldiers who tried to approach.

Judging by the way he shoots, it seems that it is not the type that uses magic stone bullets, but the type that fires with magic power, and unfortunately, it seems that he can't expect the bullets to run out.

The students and teachers who were brought to the teacher's building were divided into students from the municipality of Ibro and students from other districts.

Ibro students' hands are tied behind their backs, and adjacent students' left and right arms are also tied and tied side by side, standing facing the entrance or window.

That is, it is a barricade made up of humans, arranged in three tiers at the main entrance.

In this case, if you try to break in from the outside, you will hurt the students.

Moreover, behind the children, who lined up like barricades, it seems that they are still wearing black clothes for surveillance.

Students from towns outside Ibro were forced into the meeting room on the first floor, along with teachers.

"I was also pushed to the side of Mr. Lemberg and Mr. Mendes."

The teachers are tasked with reassuring the students, but the students are on the verge of panicking.

"Hua Wuming, I'm afraid"

"Hua Wuming, you're an adventurer, so do something!"

"Shhhh Also, if you have time to complain about me, focus on protecting Olivier. ”

As I was being wheeled into the room, Olivier suddenly came to my side, shook my hand, and trembled.

Even Miguel, who didn't have to come, followed me and looked around uneasily.

The black man who pushed us in walked out of the conference room and closed the door.

"Probably to keep the outside world from knowing."

Tables and chairs are side by side, the meeting room is barely large enough for everyone to enter, and there are no windows other than the entrance.

The season is from late autumn to winter, but the room temperature rises due to the large number of people.

A girl was crying with anxiety, and sobs were heard throughout the room.

"Mr. Hua Wuming"

"It's okay, I'll protect Olivier."

"What are you going to do, Hua Wuming!"

"I'll investigate the situation outside for the time being, please be quiet."

"Looking for you"

"Mr. Miguel, don't disturb Mr. Hua Wuming!"

"I know..."

"By the way, why did Miguel act like he wanted to lower his score?"

I focused my attention and scattered the detection bits outside the conference room to investigate the situation of the man in black.

Luckily, there were only Ibro's children outside except for the Black Moon, and they all had magic spears, so they could tell them apart.

At the same time, I also set up a microphone to pick up the sound and pick up the sound of the outside world.

Even outside the conference room, the cries of the trapped children could be heard, but after a while, the voice of a leader dressed in black was heard.

It seems that this request will be conveyed to the soldiers who are surrounding the teacher's building.

"Listen, get five hundred gold coins ready by four o'clock! Just a little later, we pushed the hostages down from the balcony directly above. Every thirty minutes late, we push down a person. So remember that!"

"Don't be stupid, throw away your weapons and surrender!

"Shut up! Don't be stupid, get the money ready, or the hostages will die! ”

In any world, negotiations between prisoners and arresting parties seem to be similar.

It seems that blacks have elaborated plans, and more than half of them have stopped at their posts.

"There were 54 people in total, not only on the first floor, but also on the staircase leading to the third floor."

"How do you know!"

"This is the application of Heavenly Attribute Magic.

I was a bit far away from Professor Mendez and I wanted to talk to him but couldn't get close to him.

Since I couldn't help it, I decided to walk on top of the students' heads with steps.

Professor Mendez

"Wow, is this also Heavenly Attribute Magic?"

"Yes, tell me, what's underground?"

"Underground?"

"Yes, it looks like the Man in Black is destroying the bottom of the stairs leading to the second floor, you see"

As I listened closely, I heard the sound of plopping, mixed with the sound of students sobbing.

"There shouldn't be anything underground, no, wait. Hua Wuming, do you know what this place was used for in the past? ”

"I heard it was a military fortress."

"yes, and it looks like the faculty building is being used as a command center. The location of the fence and gate seems to have changed since then, now near the gate, but previously at the rear. I heard he was

"So, could it be?"

"Maybe there's some loophole or something."

If it is used as a military headquarters, it is not surprising to dig an escape tunnel in case the enemy attacks.

I installed a sound capture microphone at the place where I worked under the stairs and collected their voices.

"Hey, haven't you opened the door yet?"

"I'm doing it, don't worry!"

"If you slow down, you'll get money."

"It's okay, there are still hostages, don't move!"

"Open the door! Hey, are you there? ”

"Oh, that's always good!"

When you move the probe bit, you can see that the space you're digging from here is connected, and there are people there.

Move and add bits carefully so that you don't get spotted, and explore the space ahead.

There appears to be a tunnel leading to the basement where about 6 people are waiting.

When a person walks down a narrow flight of stairs that one can barely pass by crouching, there seems to be a similar narrow passage in the distance.

The underground passage seems to run in the same direction, although there are several bends along the way.

I closed my eyes and focused, but before I knew it, all eyes in the room were focused on me.

"How's it going, Hua Wuming?"

I whispered to Professor Mendez because it would be bad if the students started making a fuss.

"There was a narrow passage in the basement where about 6 people were waiting.

"I see, it seems that the information is correct."

"Yes"

Secret passages lead from the school to the southeast, and beyond that is the slum.

"Maybe someone found the buried part of the exit and traced how far it extended.

"Take the money you want and run away from the passage. What would you do if you somehow broke the road and you couldn't chase it? ”

“”

Dr. Mendez put his hand on his chin and fell into deep thought.

Before I knew it, the sobbing had stopped, and there was a faint sound of surrender coming from the other side of the door.

"Hua Wuming, I don't mind my money being taken away, but only if the students are safe. Frankly, what if they shoot from outside the door in this situation? Can you protect the students here? ”

"No problem, from what I've seen in the cafeteria, it's just shooting fireballs, it doesn't seem to have much penetration. As evidence, the walls of the cafeteria were only slightly darkened and there was no damage. "That kind of magic, even if you fire dozens or hundreds of bullets at me, the shield I make will not flinch."

"Great, I'm relieved to hear it, for the time being, please do your best to protect the students here, of course, if you are released safely, I will reward you, and I will also thank the guild." ”

"Understood, I'm also involved, so I don't care about rewards or anything, I'll protect you."

"Q"

I shook hands with Professor Mendez and prepared to install a thick shield inside the door at any time.
