They enter the building in groups.

Although it was a rather risky move considering the strength of the enemies, there was no great concern about that.

“What are the enemy deployments?”

“There is no major change. As soon as they found out that we were going to rush in, those guys dispersed.

It seems like they’re waiting for us to come.”

Senel talking while recovering the magic circle.

In general, the magic circle is an optimized magic for identifying the location of the opponent and tracking it, but the downside is that the moment it is used, the user becomes defenseless and cannot use other magic.

This is not a suitable magic to prepare for unexpected surprise attacks, as it is not easy to discern even if the opponent hides their strength.

However, it is a magic that is difficult to use properly without considerable talent and magical power.

For this reason, the Circle of Magic was a difficult magic to use unless a group of extremely strong people gathered together, but now that there were many people with such fraudulent abilities among them, there was no need to worry about such risks.

So, right after I had a perfect grasp of the enemy’s situation,

They began to disperse and move in groups of two or three toward where their respective opponents were.

If their only goal was victory, they could just rush in and defeat each enemy individually, but their current goal is to capture as many enemies as possible, especially their leaders.

To do this, we had to set some kind of implicit rules and move according to them so that the other side wouldn’t run away using something like a magic tool.

In order to make a mouse that has dug a hole to escape to bite a cat, you need to adjust the situation appropriately.

At first glance, it may seem reckless, but when you look at the inside story, it is a very one-sided situation in which they each arrive at where their opponents are.

“This, this… This is really. Our opponents are these rookies. Isn’t this too underestimating?”

The wizards speak in light voices as they look at the young, pale women standing before them.

A man in robes, a man in a suit, and a woman in noble attire.

However, even though he was speaking confidently,

As wizards who had lived for hundreds of years, they were relieved to see that the being that appeared before them was not Duchess Rosebetta or the two teachers.

Regardless of the age difference, the power that was fundamentally most affected by talent was magic.

In that respect, the two people who started at a similar time as themselves but have an overwhelming difference in talent, and the witch Rosebetta, who may even surpass Dorothy, the strongest wizard in existence, in terms of talent alone, are formidable opponents that even they cannot dare to face.

They were confident that the ones who appeared before them were fresh-faced, new witches.

‘They’re not even in their mid-20s yet… Well, I’ve heard they have some pretty outstanding talent, but they’re still just rookies.’

‘What’s the difference in experience? I should easily subdue those guys and go help Athena.’

With that in mind, they prepare for battle with a relatively light heart.

And.. looking at them like that

The three young, blue witches in question…

Arachne, Senel, and Helios glared at the opponents before them with cold eyes.

‘I don’t know, but those guys are pros. If you take them lightly, you might get hurt.’

‘This opponent is on a whole other level than the petty guys I’ve dealt with so far. I have to finish him off as quickly and accurately as possible.’

‘They’re wizards… Mother strongly advised them, but I wonder how it will turn out.’

Three people who look at the opponent in front of them and enter into battle seriously

However, even while thinking like that, they did not feel particularly in danger.

The reason was simple.

The only thing a snake has to worry about when hunting a frog is that it might fail to catch it.

There was no need to worry about being eaten by it in the first place.

and..

About 20 minutes after that.

They were relieved, thinking that they had met a suitable partner.

The situation ended with me lying on the floor, battered and bruised, in front of the so-called rookies.

*

“It’s been a while, Sigrun.”

“It’s been a while, and did everyone else comment?”

Two people facing the three people in front of them.

Freya and Frigg had genuine smiles on their lips.

Their biological sister, Sigrun, and the other two wizards who are her companions.

Although our paths in life diverged and we ended up taking different paths,

Regardless of that fact, it was definitely a welcome thing for them to see their family after a long time.

The same was true for the other party.

“Freya, Frigg, I’m glad you both look healthy. I’ve always been worried about you eating well since you became witches.”

“Well, there’s no big problem with that, but there’s been something that’s been bothering me a lot lately, so I’m stressed out because of it.”

“What if it bothers you?”

At Sigrun’s question, the two people immediately erased the warm expressions on their faces.

Then, without delay, they drew their wands and looked at their real sister and her companions before them and spoke.

“What the heck. The fact that we haven’t been able to stop that piece of trash Prime Minister from doing dirty things for years.”

“And, the fact that you, and not anyone else, are involved in that dirty work.”

With those words, the two sisters immediately begin to release their magical power.

So, seeing their truly angry appearance, the three of them also began to emit magic.

However, although they were showing signs of responding to an opponent who was showing hostility, the three of them did not show any intention of launching such an aggressive offensive.

The reason was simple.

Their feelings at this moment…

This is because I was approaching this situation with the feeling that I should just voluntarily pay my taxes as much as I had done wrong.

‘Well… no matter what, in the end it’s true that I was indirectly involved in that matter.’

‘I did something that deserves to be scolded. I think it would be better to just give him a proper beating and end it without making excuses.’

‘That’s why… I told you from the beginning that I felt uncomfortable with this and that we shouldn’t do it.’

Even if they had fought sincerely from the beginning, they were beings who had grown to a point where they would be impossible to deal with with their current power.

That being said, it’s a ridiculous situation to run away from your younger siblings here.

In the end, they had no other choice and ended up being taken prisoner after being beaten up by the two sisters.

*

“… It’s been a while. It’s really nice to see you again like this. Rose.”

Athena, wearing a maid outfit, politely lifts up her skirt and greets.

At her words, Duchess Rosetta glared at her with cold eyes and said:

“You’re really persistent. You still bother me with something that happened 20 years ago. Dorothy must be really upset that she has a daughter like you.”

“Well, I think you’re the one who’s causing Dorothy the most trouble, aren’t you?”

With those words, Athena shows off her graceful posture, wiggling her fingers as if she is dancing.

In response to her appearance, Dorothy also began to release magical powers from her body.

“That magic power… It seems to have become stronger than before. It’s truly amazing. After only learning magic for 30 years, you’ve become this strong. How strong can you become?”

“I’ve never really pursued strength… but at the very least, I should be strong enough not to lose the people I care about.”

With those words, the two people rush towards each other.

Immediately after, a tremendous wave of magical power occurred and began to shake the entire building.
