“Ah… It’s dazzling… … ”

“How could I not have glared at the party gate?”

“Could that happen?

Where to do something so inefficient in the first place, it would be better to put something else in it.”

Hye-ryeong’s grunting voice, covering her black pearl-like eyes, was met with reprimand from Anne, who had confirmed that she was safe.

And next to her, Antonio had already approached Carla, who was rolling on the floor in the aftermath of the plasma explosion, and was helping her up and adjusting her clothes.

“Carla!! Are you okay!!”

“Oppa… … ”

“No, what kind of blood… … !!

It’s this dangerous, so I’d rather give up… !!

Our family’s precious little brother went through such hardships… !!

As soon as you leave, don’t go straight to the academic conference!!”

Where did the gentle gentleman-like figure go? Looking at him, who seemed preoccupied with taking care of his younger sister, Marie muttered something and was clapping her hands.

“Ah… Sterben… … They were brother and sister after all… ”

“Was that person that kind of character?”

“Well… … by the way… Looks like it’s over.”

Still, perhaps because the special evaluation was over, Anne half-heartedly answered Dang Hye-ryeong’s question, who seemed to be in a good mood, and looked around again.

The final gateway where only silence remains.

They appear to be the only living creatures left in that place.

“I agree. I think it’s right that it’s over.”

After looking at the explosion crater in the floor for a moment, someone came to Anne’s side and spoke to her, and Anne turned her head to look at her.

Although her hair is a little disheveled, she cannot hide her unique cuteness at all.

Anne bowed towards Lucia, who was looking at Anne with indifferent eyes.

“Thank you, senior.”

The only one who entered the final gate and fought properly was Lucia.

Marie continued to be disturbed by something unidentified, and Anne had to protect her.

And Antonio and Hyeryeong were also checked by them and could not properly fight or assist.

It was literally a situation where the entire team was no different from riding the bus to Lucia and Carla, the new face who had invaded, so it was meant to express gratitude to them.

“Sorry for not being active.”

“No.”

But despite those thanks, Lucia just shook her head.

Instead, she gestured towards Carla, who was walking with Antonio, and slowly tried to sheath the sword she was holding.

“It doesn’t fit. Has it swelled?”

When the sword that had been used countless times with Arachnella swelled as if it had been hammered countless times and did not fit into the scabbard, Lucia stuck it in the ground and appeared to be lowering her head towards Carla, who had already gotten closer.

“It was a good decision. I guess that was the alchemy department’s secret weapon.”

“eh.. ah… therefore… … Actually, I was saving it… … ”

“Haha… !! That’s true in the sense that it’s a bit expensive.”

When Carla, who was taken aback by the sudden welcome, tried to help her, Antonio burst out laughing, thinking that his little brother was cute, and seemed to be making a joke.

“Did you say Carla? Thanks to you, I was able to eliminate my target.

Anne. You perfectly guarded Mari, who was in charge of important firepower, and took responsibility for her safety.

Arachnella was unable to fight properly because she was on guard there.

Antonio, Hyeryeong, these two protected the position while I was fighting and did not stop providing rear support.”

“Ah… … ”

In fact, Antonio and Hye-ryeong seemed to have done nothing, but Antonio continued to fix the mechanical bird and used its functions to provide long-distance cover, and Hye-ryeong threw a drug-coated needle taken from her sleeve without showing any sign.

By doing so, he continued to hinder Arachnella and assisted and strengthened Lucia, who was fighting directly, and in a sense, showed his skills in deceiving even his allies.

“In order for someone to perform well, someone has to take on a role where they don’t shine.

In that sense, this is a victory for all of us. So no one has to bow their head.

There were some interesting juniors. I feel sad about graduating.”

Lucia smiled for the first time and took out an artifact from her pocket.

“I hope we have a chance to work together next time.

If we’re in the same swordsmanship club, we’ll see each other again at any time.”

Lucia scatters bright fractals and disappears from her spot.

And Hye-ryeong, who had been yawning slightly while watching this, also seemed to be smiling as if she were amused, activating the artifact and disappearing.

At that moment, Anne was also about to activate the artifact while looking at that scene.

“Oppa… … me… The artifact… … It’s broken… …

I have to go back faster than that… … !! Yui… My friend got hurt a lot… !!”

“That’s a major in the Department of Magic Design… I can’t repair it either… … ”

“Ah… … ”

At that moment, there was a moment of silence in the cavity.

When she felt her sister gently massaging her shoulder, Anne turned around and looked again at the gate she had entered through and let out a small sigh.

“Anne… we… Can I help you a little bit… … ?”

As she ended up walking back down the path without being able to use the comfortable artifact, it seemed like it was Anne’s job to fight the monsters that still remained.

‘I went…’ ? I went… … ?’

In a deep pit with a closed ceiling.

I, who had been feeling the vibrations through the vision of the kernel worm, an earthworm the size of a snake looking up at the ceiling, breathed a sigh of relief when I felt that the situation in the final gateway cavity was now completely quiet.

The exact moment when the timing was just right and the pit needed for the operation was completed.

Our operation was a success as Arachnella threw herself into the pit at the same time as the explosion occurred.

‘It’s all gone now…’ … !! The operation was a success!! You’re free now… !!’

But unlike me, who had time to rejoice right away, there seemed to be no particular answer from Arachnella.

In fact, the damage from the previous attack must have returned a little stronger, as she was barely crouching in the hole and didn’t look very good.

‘Arachnella. are you okay? ‘Not so good?’

“My head is pounding… just a little… Please be quiet… … ?”

‘sorry. Can you bear it?

Because I can’t stay here like this… … ‘

First of all, since it was literally impossible to stay in this place, I nodded to the burrows dug by the kernel worms in front of me and began to guide her towards that.

“A little… a little bit… …

If you rest like this… … Ugh… … ”

‘hey… … ‘

But right now, her condition didn’t look very good.

In fact, my worries were more important than anything else.

The exoskeleton of the legs had melted in the fire, the muscles were contracted from the high heat and could not move properly, and the upper body, which was no different from a woman’s naked body, was scorched red to the point that it seemed hideous.

Her appearance was literally no different from that of a patient with full-body severe burns.

It was obvious that if left unattended, it would not be long before his life would become dangerous.

This place is the academy.

That meant that the entire place from here to around here was human territory, and no one in their right mind would be able to treat her.

‘Arachnella… I’m free now… … ?

Even if it’s hard, just hold on a little and move… !’

That meant that even if Arachnella was let out of the academy like she wanted, she would collapse and pass away from the aftereffects of burns in less than a few days.

I was so anxious that I tried to shake my tail at her as she couldn’t come to her senses.

But she couldn’t come to her senses, so she could only breathe heavily with her eyes closed.

‘how… … how should… … ah… … !!’

What came to mind at that moment was the trump card I had.

When I remembered something I had hoped to avoid using as much as possible, I closed my eyes and began to concentrate.

‘It will be fine… Because it’ll be okay… … ‘

Soon the ground began to shake little by little, and the intensity gradually began to increase.

And at the very moment when the intensity of the earthquake reached its peak.

Something came out of the floor, swallowed us in one bite, and disappeared back into the ground.

.

.

.

.

.

Inside a clean white building that looks hygienic.

A black-haired girl who woke up there was staring at a brown-haired girl who was looking at her and desperately calling out to her.

“Yui… Yui… … !! Come to your senses… … ?

It’s okay… ? huh… … ? Yuii… … ”

“Carla… … I passed… … ?”

‘You really did it.’

Karla looks down at herself and starts crying, but when she sees herself waking up, she bursts into tears as if relieved.

Yui, who was looking up at Karla, saw a star-shaped badge on Karla’s chest indicating that she had passed the special evaluation, and gave a small smile as if she were dumbfounded.

“Ugh.. Ugh… … Yui can turn it off… …

Because everyone in our group passed… … !!

There was a lot of blood earlier…

Sigh… It’s okay… … ?”

“After inhalation… If anyone saw it, they would think that the blood was from Carla… …

More than that… … we… Did you get help? … ?

Someone… … ? I should say hello… ”

In response to Yui’s question, which showed a weak smile, Karla, who had been busy crying just a moment ago, was embarrassed and looked away.

“Yes… … ? Yes… therefore… …

I can’t remember the face… …

It was a student… therefore… … !!”

“Okay… … ? If you remember later… Tell me… … ”

A strange texture that vaguely remains in my blurred memories.

Something that supports one’s body and feels sticky yet soft.

And the mysterious feeling of soft yet firm skin.

‘It seems like it’s been a while since Carla lied… … ‘

A good child who always gets anxious whenever someone tells a lie.

Perhaps it was because he received so much love, but his friend was so innocent.

Although he was obviously just lying still, he was an unidentified, heterogeneous being that was carrying him somewhere on his back.

‘or not… Maybe I’m mistaken because of the anemia… … ‘

“Woohuhu… It’s okay, so now…

Why are you being such a crybaby, Carla?

I know I’m in the medical department, but I think I’ll get better after recuperating for a few days…

Since you keep crying like that, it feels like you are dying… ”

As soon as she finished answering, Yui saw Karla holding on to her again and crying sadly. She stretched out her arms and patted her small back.

‘But even if it’s just one thing… If I remember correctly… … ‘

However, in her eyes, a hint of suspicion was carefully raised about Carla, who seemed to be hiding something.

Something unknown.

And Carla hides it.

‘that… student… Is it right to call it… … ?’

Yui’s hand, which was hugging Karla tightly, was gently digging into her delicate back.
