After Professor Stubone finished speaking, he immediately jumped away, and the other students quickly followed.

"How do I feel...... He seems to be just looking for an excuse to come here to soak in the hot springs?" Riel asked quietly as he stared at Professor Stubourne's back, and then began to look around as well, "And this place ......"

"You feel déjà vu, don't you?" asked Allen.

"Hmm...... This black rock ......" Riel crouched down and began to take a closer look at the raised rocks on the ground.

A cold wind blew, and Alan couldn't help but shiver, because the weather didn't get cooler until October, so he was still wearing summer clothes.

"And the temperature...... How can it be so low?" asked Riel, who seemed a little overwhelmed, "It's like autumn!"

At this moment, Alyssa's voice suddenly came from the side, and her tone was full of surprise: "We are here?"

She was standing on a nearby rock, staring to the side in a daze.

Alan and Riel hurried over to see this, but before they could climb the rock, they noticed that Alyssa was surprised by something—there was a lake beneath their feet, a lake they knew all too well......

"Crescent Lake!?" Alan called out involuntarily. Only then did he realize where they were, the mountain where Frost was hiding. It's just that this time there is no ice on the Crescent Lake, and the water is clear and sparkling.

He looked at the small hill on the other side of the Crescent Lake, and found that it was indeed true, it was the back mountain.

"I just said I thought I'd seen the rocks here!" Riel also looked incredulous, "No wonder it's so cold here!"

That's when Alan understood why everything here was bare, because it was originally a volcano, but it looked like a snowy mountain due to Frost's weather magic. And the effect of that magic doesn't seem to have been completely eliminated, and the temperature here shows that there seems to be ice inside the mountain that hasn't melted.

"Let's go. Alan was in a daze, but Alyssa suddenly urged. When he looked up, he saw that all the people around him were gone, and most of them had already followed Professor Stubone inside, and the three of them were the last ones.

However, Alan looked closer to the entrance, and saw a familiar figure standing there, as if waiting for someone.

"Isn't that Frey?" Riel had a better look at it, and was the first to notice who it was, so he whispered to Allen, "Why is he here, is the third year also here?"

Alan chuckled in his heart, he still remembered Frey's words yesterday, and suddenly a sense of foreboding rose from the bottom of his heart.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and head that way.

"No matter what you do, you still like to be left behind. As soon as Alan walked nearby, Frey spoke. His tone was so flat, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

There was another man standing next to Frey, who looked like he was in a fourth grade.

"Uh...... Excuse me, senior, why are you here?" Alan replied politely, and motioned for Rare and Alyssa to go in first.

"I'm just a little relieved that my sister has never traveled far alone, so I'm here to wait for her. Frey said nonchalantly.

"Isn't there Cynthia with her?" Alan opened his mouth to say this, but swallowed back after a little thought.

"Uh...... With such a good family background and such a spoiled brother, she is really happy. Allen said.

Unexpectedly, Frey sneered when he heard this: "Heh, happiness?"

Alan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Frey's mood didn't seem quite right. But by the time he looked at Frey, he had returned to normal.

"Let Brian go in with you, you're the only one left. Frey looked down the aisle, and suddenly changed his mind and said, "He's good at this magic, and you can rest assured that he's there." ”

Alan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and his attitude today was almost the same as yesterday. There weren't many people in the fourth grade this time, and it was clear that everyone should be in charge of an area, but Frey offered to let this person be in charge of directing himself.

An indescribable premonition swirled in his heart, but Alan couldn't refuse.

"Did you find out that you made a mistake and wanted to apologize...... Alan couldn't help but think, "If that's the case, maybe it's a good opportunity to repair his relationship." ”

"Uh...... That...... Thank you, seniors. Thinking of this, Alan nodded, and followed the boy named Brian into the aisle.

The aisle wasn't too long, and some light could be seen coming in from the distance, and the temperature was noticeably much higher.

Soon they came to an end, and a tall stone slab appeared before them, with cracks in some places, like a screen, from which the light had been stolen. Looking to the sides, there were two black curtains that looked the same as they had been in the general hall, but this seemed to be just a trick, because Alan reached out and felt it and found that they could enter it.

"Everyone should find a place to practice with your seniors or seniors on their own, and don't waste this rare opportunity, because I don't know when such a great hot spring will suddenly disappear again. Professor Stubourne's voice came, only this time it sounded lazy, as if it had been soaked in water.

"I see......" Alan heard him say this and realized that it had nothing to do with Frost's incident, but after the ice and snow on the top of the mountain melted, I don't know who accidentally discovered that there was a hot spring here, and notified Professor Stubourne, and it just so happened that he also wanted to come and take a comfortable dip, so this trip to Hot Spring Mountain was born.

"Let's go inside. At this point, Brian, who was standing beside him, spoke. The short-haired, tall-looking boy had a blank face, and if he didn't look at his face, it was like Riel had grown two more laps.

"Hmm. Alan quickly answered and followed Brian inside.

It was foggy, and Alan looked closely for a while before he could see the general structure.

It's very different from Allen's imagination, this is a fairly large lake, and it is divided into one large and one small by a black curtain in the middle, but this should indeed be a barrier barrier, and they are on the big side. It has a simple structure and is almost decorated, as if it was transformed into a hot spring after a hasty cleanup. The ground under his feet was not very smooth, but it was simply paved with stone bricks, as if to ensure that his feet would not be pierced by sharp stones. Behind him is a row of improvised cabinets for the students to store their clothes temporarily, and behind the cabinets is a simple fence that spreads out from the side of the aisle, isolating the lake from the outside world.

Professor Stubone was leisurely closing his eyes in a corner near the shore, and the other students had already undressed and followed the seniors to practice magic, but it seemed that the center of the lake was deep, and almost everyone was close to the shore.

As far as the eye can see, the water is so thick that it is impossible to tell who is who.

"Please follow me. Brian's voice suddenly came from behind Allen.

Alan looked back to realize that he had just been observing the environment, and Brian had taken off all his clothes, leaving only a pair of underwear.

"Uh, okay!" Alan hurriedly did as well.

Brian had already walked to the shore with a wand in his hand. Alan trotted after him and followed him to the right-hand side.

Some people are indeed practicing magic seriously, while others seem to be just enjoying the hot springs, just like Professor Stubourne.

"Here it is. Brian's voice came.

Alan only felt that his voice was getting quieter, and when he looked up, he realized that they were already far away from the crowd. It's a bit secluded in the neighborhood, and if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of rushing water.

"Or is it a living lake?" Alan followed the voice, and noticed that there was a gap in the wooden fence not far from his feet, and the lake was flowing out.

"This lake is formed when water that has absorbed geothermal water comes up from the mountain. Brian saw that he had been staring at the water outlet and explained, "During the summer vacation, Professor Stubone asked the Magical Management Society to help build this place, and although it was a bit rudimentary, it was a rare place to visit. However, the water in the middle of the lake is a bit deep, and my advice is not to go even if you know how to swim. ”

"Okay. Alan nodded, and slowly walked into the lake, it was still a little cold on the shore.

The temperature of the lake is slightly hot. It stands to reason that it is not suitable to go out to soak in the hot springs during this season, but due to the fact that this is the top of the mountain and the influence of the previous weather magic, the temperature here is a little low, and under the wonderful effect of these two temperatures, this season, soaking in the hot springs in this place has become a kind of enjoyment.

"The difficulty level of this magic is very high, but the principle is not complicated, it just consumes your mana and converts it into oxygen for you to breathe underwater. "But the hard part is that when you're in the water, you have to adjust your mana consumption rate to match the various activities you're doing in the water." ”

"I understand. Alan nodded.

"Have you memorized all the incantations?" asked Brian.

"Well, I had a preview yesterday. ”

"Okay, I'll show you first, and you can do it. "If there's anything out of the ordinary, please let me know." ”

With that, Brian stepped aside, gesturing his wand over himself and began to chant the incantation: "I hereby ask for the protection of the water spirits...... I can be as free as a fish, undisturbed by this body of water, and move and breathe as before!"
