Chapter 40
"Did you... Did you feel that just now?"
Viola, who had been searching for the Horn of Glory, cautiously spoke up.
"A massive mana flow..."
Viola seemed worried as she mentioned the enormous mana flow that shouldn't have been felt even in a research lab, let alone in a storage room.
"I felt it. Judging by the direction, it must be Leon Jodrick."

However, Maxwell answered calmly as if it was nothing to worry about, and continued searching for items without pause.
"Shouldn't we... go check?"

"No, our job is to find the horn."
"What?"
"We split up so we could find the horn faster. And..."
Maxwell let out a brief sigh before continuing.
Е̌ ń ǔ m̄ á .і̆ d
"Leon Jodrick isn't someone that weak."
It was Maxwell's evaluation after witnessing the incident with Iblis's nest and the dormitory arson case.
"Besides, even if we don't go, it seems others are already on their way."

The massive flames erupted as if they didn't care about us or the junk in the storage, ready to swallow everything whole.
An intense heat that felt like it could turn everything to a handful of ash.
Еn̊ǔ m ӑ..i.d̃
"Ho..., to think you'd survive that. Seems you're not just some nobodies."
Once the flames subsided, the man in the red robe slowly began to speak.
'That was dangerous...'
If I hadn't immediately used the shadow barrier after seeing Isaiah’s prophecy, I would have been roasted alive.
I wasn't directly hit by the flames, but my skin still stung as if it had been burned.
"Are you okay?!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"I'm fine!"
Fortunately, Shane didn't seem to be hurt either.
"I'll ask you again, who are you?"
Without even giving us time to react, the fire magic manifested instantly.
A level of power that could fill the entire room, yet it didn't actually cause a fire thanks to its controlled precision.
A mage of this level must at least be 6th-tier.
W è b n о̊ v̌е̌ l Е̌ n u̇ m ȧ
Stronger than the current Cribel twins.
"...Is it really important who we are?"

I immediately drew a kunai from my cloak and threw it toward the red robe.
Swoosh!
The kunai flew swiftly toward his head, but the closer it got, the more it exponentially slowed down.
'What the...?'
W_е̄ b̄ ň ӧ ṽ е̌ l̂ Ё n̂.ú_m̊_а̂
Eventually, it fell powerlessly to the ground without even reaching him.
'Is he protecting himself with magic?'
"Interesting move. You're no mage, I see... Was that defense earlier your unique trait?"
The red robe slowly approached us.

"Then, how about this?"
Once again, Isaiah's prophecy showed me a red trajectory.
W ê bn ӧ v̌ el̂ Еn̄ um̀ а
Unlike the previous flame, this one twisted and curved chaotically, but it was clearly targeting us.
Crackle!
'Lightning magic...!'
I quickly set up a shadow barrier like before, but this time it was different.
Crack! Clang!
With ominous sounds, the shadow barrier shattered.

The hardness of the shadow was comparable to steel.
Yet this was a level of magic that couldn't be blocked even by a steel shield.
"Urgh!"
Though the magic scattered when the barrier broke, the shock wasn't fully absorbed; my limbs started to tingle.
'It doesn’t seem like I got fully electrocuted...But my hand feels numb.'
When I looked at my hand, its color had changed.
Еn ü m_а̊ .і̇d̊_
It was charred black, with messy patterns appearing.
'Did it damage my nerves?'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was a miracle I hadn’t been completely electrocuted.
"Leon!"
Shane quickly put her hands together as if in prayer and looked at my injury.
Soon, an unknown light wrapped around my hands.
Е̊ ńǔm.а
'Light of Healing'
A healing spell most commonly used by clerics.
My hands returned to their original color, and my sense of touch came back immediately.
"A combination of a cleric and a rogue... interesting pair."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'Fighting from a distance is disadvantageous...'
I immediately threw another kunai and charged forward before it even stopped.
Еǹ ǔ m̄ а̌ . і d̀
Taaah!
Against a mage of this caliber, the kunai posed no threat.
It would just lose power midair again like before.
But even a protection spell is still magic.
It requires computation.
If I aim for a tiny opening, I can get close!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Swoosh.
With a smooth, natural movement, I drew the Frost Wolf's Claw.
I had never neglected my training since coming here.
Shwaa!
With a slicing sound through the air, the dagger aimed straight at the mage.
"Most mages are weak in close combat. Overcoming that is a traditional challenge for them."
Е̄ńũ m̊а̊
My dagger was blocked.
No—stopped.

'What is this...?'
There was no obstacle between me and the red robe, yet I couldn't move my body at all.
Like a marionette tied to strings, I couldn't move as I wanted.
"Your plan was good, but your opponent was lacking."
W еb̂n ǒ v̀е̄ l Еn̊ u m̊ а
'I need to get away first.'
I tried to release Iblis’s poison to widen the distance, but even the poison fell to the floor without reaching him.
"I'll save the interrogation for later."
Suddenly, I felt my entire bloodstream twist.

My blood flowed backward, my eyes felt like they would burst from the pressure, and I couldn't even breathe properly.
'This is dangerous! This magic... could it be...?'
Еn.u.m̄ а̌ . іd
Just then, a green trajectory appeared toward my side.
'Green...?'
Why would there be a green trajectory in this situation?
As if to answer my question, I saw someone's leg appear in my field of view, and a sharp pain shot through my left side.
"Ugh!"
A powerful kick.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A martial technique I couldn't believe a mage would use.
Of course.
"Jodrick! Are you okay?!"
The identity of the relentless kick belonged to Chloe Hendel.
"Ugh...."
I groaned, clutching my throbbing side as I struggled to speak.
Е n ǔ m̄ а̂ . i̇ d́
"I was... fine until just now..."
I forced the words out, but they barely escaped my lips, as if some of my ribs had been cracked.

The attack came before I had a chance to react when my movements were sealed, and the shock was much stronger than I had expected.
Chloe must have meant to push me out of harm’s way in her own way...
"Thank you..."
No, if Chloe hadn’t kicked me away, things would have gotten even worse.
Ёn û_mа .і̇d
Chloe drew her sword and faced off against the red robe.
As expected from a knight class, her stance had no openings, and the red robe also paused, only watching her closely.
"Well-trained stance... so this time it’s a knight? I didn’t think you were just a bunch of nobodies, but your team is more balanced than I expected."
His insight was sharp enough to recognize Chloe’s class just from her posture.

"It’s a pity there isn’t a mage, though..."
"Who says there isn’t?"
Ё nü m̃ ӑ
With a sharp voice, a violet smoke covered the red robe.
'Rose Cribel...!?'
The murky poisonous mist completely shrouded the red robe’s figure.
"Such a worthless insect."
Since Viola wasn’t here, the Cribel twins’ unique trait didn’t activate, but the power was still formidable—enough that an ordinary human wouldn’t even leave a corpse behind.
"No, don’t let your guard down."

Despite the poison mist, the presence didn’t disappear.
Perhaps sensing this, Chloe focused her strength for a moment, and her aura began to ripple.
'A heat haze... is she...?'
"I’m going all out."
The haze around Chloe gradually took on a clearer form.
Water-colored flames the same hue as Chloe’s hair.
Е̂ n̈ um а ._іd́
The blue flames spread from her body to her sword, eventually engulfing it completely.
'Chloe’s unique trait...!'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
[Name: Chloe Hendel]
[Gender: Female]
[Age: 17]
[Unique Trait — Azure Hellfire]
Ӗ n̂um̈а̄
Azure Hellfire — Generates inextinguishable blue flames around the body.
The blue flames change form according to the user’s emotions.
A trait that protects the body with flames while simultaneously strengthening attacks—Chloe’s unique ability.
She was a knight class and one of the five heroes who sealed the Demon King.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The unique trait of Cled Hendel.
"So, you did have a mage. I thought you were just a mere thief..."
Е n ü m а
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the poison mist away, and the red robe emerged unharmed.
"More importantly, that blue flame..."
Having seen the Azure Hellfire, the red robe must have realized that the knight blocking his path was Chloe.
No matter how well she hid her identity, the fame of the Azure Hellfire was impossible to conceal.
"Wouldn’t it be wise to stop this meaningless battle around here?"
I caught my breath, slowly stood up while clutching my side.

"Are you suggesting we talk?"
The red robe also stopped moving and quietly looked at me.
'He doesn’t really have a choice...'
After all, countless shadow spikes were aimed directly at his throat at that moment.
Of course, I knew that an attack of this level wouldn’t actually work on him.
Maybe next year or the year after, but right now, we couldn’t win against him.
È n û m а. i̇ d́
However, this threat was simply an expression of our willingness to stop attacking despite having an opening.
And also to pique his curiosity about us.

"My apologies for the late introduction. I am Leon Jodrick, thief class from Argen Academy."
I threw off my cloak and bowed respectfully.
"Before me stands the master of the Magic Tower, the great archmage and sage, Lord Oz."
Though he appeared earlier than in the original story… I never imagined I would meet the Tower Master here.
E n̆_úṁā_.іd̆
Now that it’s come to this, we had to abandon fighting or stealing.
"Haha, even though I hid my appearance with a robe, you recognized me."
Oz accepted my greeting, lowering the hood attached to his robe as he responded.
His mastery of various elemental magics and even the gravity magic that sealed my movements—there weren’t many mages like him in this world.

"Argen Academy, huh. Then, this knight must be Miss Chloe, and that mage over there must be from the Cribel family?"
Hearing Oz’s words, Rose and Chloe also removed their robes.

"It’s a pity that we missed out on such talents. But the Council always despised the Cribel family."
"No… sir."
In response, Rose lowered her head and answered quietly.
A humble tone, unlike her usual self.
Despite the deep grudge between the Tower and the Cribel family, Oz was one of the top mages of this era.
Rose also held respect for him.

"So, what brings these young students to my Magic Tower?"
Oz spoke with a kind smile.
"First, I must apologize for entering the tower without the master's permission. Then, allow me to explain our purpose."
"It’s rare to see such a polite young man these days."
Well, considering we had trespassed, I wasn’t sure if ‘polite’ was the right word, but it didn’t hurt that he viewed me favorably.
"So, what business do these boys and girls have in my tower?"
Е̊n ů m̃ а
With my head bowed, I opened my mouth to speak.
"With all due respect, to the master of this tower, Lord Oz..."

Our ultimate goal was to obtain the Horn of Glory.
If we couldn’t steal or take it by force—
"I would like to propose a trade."
There was no choice but to obtain permission to take it.
