‘I wonder if things are going well over there…’ ‘

“Vivian… ! What is that?”

“Pension mechanics seal. If you don’t neutralize it by combining a special material suitable for it, it will react with anything it touches and explode.”

“Wow… ! What about that?”

“I don’t know much about Madoujin, but… It probably plays a similar role.”

While I was worried about whether Arachnella and the beastmen were operating according to plan, Vivian and Lanier were busy looking down and watching with bated breath.

I guess I only heard about the special evaluation, but it would be quite a shame to be deprived of the opportunity to participate in it myself.

However, as if it was amazing just to watch, Lanier was looking down with sparkling eyes at the students who were solving the first task of the special assessment.

“Oh, that’s not how you do it.”

“Black, man.”

“Oh, it’s totinium, not gernium.”

“Are you that good at soft skills? Follow me to the rooftop!!”

Perhaps because there were so many groups of people, there were groups that bickered non-stop, while there were also groups that worked very hard together.

“How about trying this?”

“Ah… that’s too bad… … So, like that this time?”

There was a group where the only person who could solve the problem was a freshman, a first-year mage.

There, a freshman girl, who was faced with a large magic technique that she was not yet familiar with, was trembling and not sure where to start. To her surprise, a senior male student from the smelting department next to her appeared to be guiding her.

“Hmm… There, there is a wick technique on the central axis of Madoujin, right?

Do it like this… … Like that… … ”

“.. like this… … ?”

“Oh?”

“Wow!! It’s solved!!”

“Smelting.. You weren’t an undergraduate… ?

uh… !! How did you know?!”

“Ah, because my friend is in the Convergence Magic Department.

I looked over my shoulder.”

A fresh-faced girl with a bright smile looked at the male student with bright eyes full of trust, and a rosy air began to flow in front of the gate.

‘Those who are worthy do things like that…’ … ‘

Was I the only one who felt like my stomach was starting to twist as I watched it?

If you look at the expressions of the other guys next to the pink two, maybe they feel the same way as me.

After some time, the students begin to pass the first gate one by one.

As everyone had learned, they seemed to be passing through the gate in a standard way, or with a bit of trickery, and fortunately, there seemed to be very few students who collapsed from there.

Although I saw it from a distance, Carla, who happened to catch my eye, was also taking something out of her bag and using a makeshift workshop kit to temporarily assemble the bag, quickly and quickly created a neutral substance to seal the alchemy mechanism.

After all, it’s like a woman from an alchemist family.

Her roommate and friend who was in the medical department also seemed to be helping her with delicate movements.

“Wow!! Awesome, Carla!!”

“You did really well!!”

“Ehehe… ”

It definitely felt like Carla was carrying it here.

The people surrounding her were cheering, and Carla was also smiling brightly.

Perhaps because Carla found the taste of spiders harsh during the final exam, she ended up locking the spiders in her desk drawer when she left, so I had no way of keeping an eye on her for today.

Well, I can say that they are confining her, but at the same time, she was filled with tears of regret as if she were a mother who separated her child. What can I say about that?

It’s just a bit of a shame that there is no way to check on her separately in case of emergency.

‘What could be going on… … ?

If everything goes according to plan, nothing will happen.’

As I gently turned my head away from Carla, my four pairs of eyes immediately turned towards the other students.

At that moment, Anne, whom I had seen quite often, caught my eye, as if she had been in a relationship with me for some time, and my gaze suddenly began to focus on that place.

A group consisting of Anne, a woman who looked so similar to her sister that she seemed to be her sister, a man with an unidentifiable bird on his shoulder, an orange-haired woman with knightly armor, and an arrogant Asian woman with a strangely unpleasant vibe.

What I saw as I was quietly looking at that group, which somehow seemed to have a significant presence, was so surprising that I wondered if I would have screamed if I had a mouth.

Looking at the alchemy mechanics seal in front of me, I saw a calm man slowly walking forward without anyone speaking and extending his arms forward.

When the man held out his arm, the eagle on his shoulder folded and unfolded like a mechanical device, as if it were not a living thing, forming a structure that looked similar to a human being.

‘bust… … ?’

That mechanical structure that looks like only the upper body is floating without the lower body.

The structure standing still behind the man’s back imitated the man’s body as it moved, and appeared to be touching the seal with an elongated mechanical hand instead of the man’s hand.

‘There is such a thing… … ?’

It looked like an advanced application of Warmhausen’s manned and unmanned machine technology, but there was no way I would have known that.

They said it was alchemy, so I was just thinking about making gold.

It was an experience that made me realize that the technological capabilities of this world are considerably superior to what I thought.

Before I could hide my surprise when I found out, the man who had been touching the seal several times closed his fist and pulled it behind his back, and then punched me with his mechanical arm with all his might, breaking the seal into pieces.

“Without neutralizing substances… … ?”

“No… That mechanical arm itself probably has neutralizing substances built into it.

The reason I first touched it was…

It’s just to find out if the neutralizing substance is effective.”

Vivian was quietly explaining to Ranie, who looked just as surprised as me.

‘If you think about it that way, it makes sense.

When I think about it again, Vivian knows quite a lot… ?’

Maybe it was my greatest luck to catch her first?

Anyway, as we watched Anne Jo, who had such a significant impact, easily pass the first gate, we realized that everyone had passed the first gate and were moving on to look at the next gate.

“Do you want me to do that? Are you okay?”

The voice of a man speaking to something that appeared to be a communication port was ringing out.

And the other men watching him also seemed to be holding their breath and concentrating on the direction of the conversation.

“We just do what we are told…

I understand… I will do that.”

When the communication was finally over, the man put the communication device down on the table next to him and looked around at the other men who were only looking at him.

“We will proceed like this.”

However, at the words that came out of his mouth, the men’s expressions were literally colored with doubt.

“They say safety devices are in place.

I think I plan to take the test like this.”

“That means… Without the prisoners… ?”

“It is said that the beastmen who were originally intended to be used as assistants for the students were wiped out, and the final target, that spider bitch, is the only one left alive… …

Maybe the academy trusts those wet-smelling students so much.

In the end, the spider bitch will wander around the dungeon looking for other prey, and it looks like the students are planning to join forces to exterminate it.”

“Then we… … ”

“We have nothing to do anymore, my friend.

Go prepare some popcorn!!”

“Wow!! Work is over!!!!”

Perhaps the Academy is in a hurry right now, so they just want to quickly proceed with the special evaluation.

Surely, he would later be held responsible for neglecting the management of the beasts and the monitoring of Arachnella.

However, even taking that into account, it was only a small loss to them and nothing to regret, as they were able to receive generous compensation from the academy.

From the beginning, this was something only they with that level of ability could do.

Right now, they are standing around the room like this, but with this number of Arachnella, they would avoid them if they avoided them, and there was no way they would attack them, so there was no problem as long as they were careful until the moment they left the dungeon.

“Ha.. children… Then, tonight is a company dinner… !!”

The last memory of the man who burst into laughter as he saw his fellow mercenaries getting excited around him was the floor sinking down with his colleagues at that very moment, and lustful red lips looking down at him with a bright smile. In the end it broke off…
