CILIII.

The entire southern part of the Evergreen City-State was occupied by the Evergreen Academy.

In fact, everyone thinks that Evergreen Academy only occupies a part of the south, but if you calculate the area of Evergreen Academy hidden within the barrier, the entire wide terrain in the south is occupied by Evergreen Academy.

When looking at the entire map of Evergreen, it was a shape that jutted out further to the south, and this place was entirely owned by Evergreen Academy.

In particular, along the coast adjacent to the southern sea, there were things like the Hell Training Course of the Knight Faculty, the Magic Faculty’s magical experiment site, and warehouses.

In short, it meant that it was the most backward place in Evergreen Academy and a place that people rarely visited.

So, it was quite common for men and women to meet here.

Why?

You’re not asking because you don’t know, are you?

If you’re asking because you really don’t know… I want to tell you to cheer up.

If you ask even though you know… you are a pervert.

In this remote place, there has been a constant ‘thud’ sound for the past few days. But the Academy students did not wonder about it.

Because the professors had said so.

According to the professors, a tribe of dwarves happened to be visiting Evergreen at the time to build Gray’s house, so they asked for a favor.

Renovating the warehouse and building a full-fledged training facility.

But then again, ‘by chance’ the dwarves’ work just ended and they gave their consent?

Anyone who hears it will find it strange and far from plausible, but in Evergreen, improbable things happen every day.

Because if you don’t hear the sound of an explosion while conducting a magic experiment for even a single day, it’s an uneasy place.

In fact, it is a fact that the dwarves have been carrying out construction to relocate the warehouse.

The only difference was that the warehouse relocation work was completed in one day, and the culprit of the noise that had been rumbling for nearly a week was the wizards.

They weren’t just ordinary wizards, they were wizards from the Tower of the Philosopher that had appeared when Nitas had fallen.

“I never thought I’d be able to create a meteor summoning spell of this scale in my lifetime.”

“That’s great, but these ingredients are also really… … .”

“Rumor has it that among the female candidates named Gray, there is one who uses this magic more effectively than the Dragon Lord.”

“Huh? More than Dragon Lord?”

Designing a magic circle and being so happy that they couldn’t even straighten their backs like children, they were all very happy while drawing a huge and precise magic circle, which was typical of ‘Curiosity Heaven’ magicians.

However, just like the Academy students, their information is a little bit wrong.

It is true that the materials they use so sparingly, such as mithril, adamantium, and orichalcum, were supported by the dragon lord, Topuri.

In front of my eyes, the two-horned creature opened a subspace and poured out the materials.

The wizards of the Tower of the Sage could not help but be mistaken. They thought that all of these materials were in the possession of Toppul himself.

So the reaction is something like, ‘As expected, he’s the Dragon Lord!’

However, these expensive materials are items that come from the lairs of dragons that have already died or fallen and escaped to the lair.

Because of the unexpected ‘Gray Purse Battle’ between Dragon Lord Two-Fool and Pope Judas.

As a result, it is a good thing that we were able to secure an ample supply of advanced materials needed to create magic circles.

To Gray, to Two-horned, and to the wizards of the Sage’s Tower. Well, Gray was in a bit of a flustered situation, but let’s ignore that.

Back to the magic circle, dozens of magicians, especially those from the secret Sage’s Tower, are gathered together and making a fuss, and the magic circle is a magic circle for summoning meteorites.

However, unlike ordinary magic circles, it is made up of geometric circles that intersect with each other to form the boundary of a large circle, just like a Venn diagram you learn in math class.

And a very large magic circle drawn inside a huge circle made of circles, a magic circle that is difficult for ordinary magicians to understand.

This is a magic circle created by the Dragon Lord and the primordial witch, Arcana ‘The Witch’, who is the Witch of Walpurgis.

It’s so difficult and challenging that the quirky old guys from the Philosopher’s Tower have been struggling for over a week and haven’t even finished half of it yet.

Even so, it was only because the witch and the two-horned boy helped me out from time to time. If I had just been given a diagram and told to draw it, I wouldn’t have been able to draw even half of it in a month.

“There. How many times do I have to say that the next part is important!”

“Sorry, sorry.”

The witch’s remark, which reminds you of the red hats of the vicious training camp, with their red hats pulled down to their eyes and saying, “Assistant Instructor!”, makes the old men with white hair bow and apologize.

If you were to judge only by appearance, it would be an impolite scene where a witch who looks like a granddaughter yells at a wizard who looks like a grandfather.

From their perspective, each of these magic circles was a profound experience that raised their level, and a valuable lesson that they could not learn without.

On the contrary, even when I tell him to rest, he doesn’t rest and is absorbed in his work, so much so that I have to point it out.

“There! No, not like that!”

The witch points out mistakes with her eagle eyes, and the wizards quickly correct them.

Everyone is busy. Except for the superhumans.

Superhumans?

Gray asked the Dean later. How many meteorites can be summoned?

Then Dean Hu blushed greatly and muttered.

“… I can’t do it.”

The Dean said he didn’t know the magic to summon this large and beautiful thing called “Meteorite Summoning”.

You’ve only heard the name, but you don’t know how it works or how it works?

It was only then that Gray remembered that the pathetic old man in front of him had been holed up in his lab for decades trying to figure out the Circle 9 magic spell that would cure his granddaughter.

I had to vent my frustration by muttering that I was such a useless inspiration.

So what do superhumans do?

They argue. They argue hard, they argue fiercely, they argue in their own way.

To be more precise, I’m giving them enough rest in preparation for the many things they’ll be running around doing in the future.

Even when the superhumans rest, they do not just lie around, but rather, they each relax their bodies and minds in their respective dwellings as if meditating.

When Dean Hu said he didn’t know meteorite magic, Gray sighed and told Dean Hu to join the ‘processing team’.

Processing tank.

Just hearing the name makes me feel like it would be difficult and extremely hard work, so I don’t want to go.

What are you dealing with?

Meteorite, the magic that summons meteorites from space, is not simply a magic that pulls in meteorites floating in space with tremendous gravity.

If that happens, even a meteorite of a reasonable size will melt in the atmosphere due to frictional heat before it even hits, creating a beautiful sight and ending there.

This is not a spell that magically draws in a meteorite into the thermosphere or mesosphere where it disappears as a meteor, but rather a spell that magically opens a passage just before it enters the atmosphere, summons the meteorite directly above the tropopause, that is, about 15km above the atmosphere, and causes it to fall freely there.

So, it’s not possible to kill one person exactly, but it’s a big, beautiful magic that specializes in scorching a certain area.

The quintessence of physical force, where potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is ultimately converted into impulse.

The ultimate magic of Circle 9, requiring two advanced magic chains – Call (summoning) and Tunnel (magical passage).

What would happen if this physical force hit the staff and its surroundings at the same time?

Will it end with just the island nation collapsing?

No way!

First of all, when the island nation collapses, an earthquake will occur, and that earthquake may cause a tsunami.

Even if that is not the case, the sea clearly reacts in some way.

It’s as if an earthquake that occurred underwater is unknown to anyone outside the water, but it eventually comes back as a disaster called a tsunami.

As a result of the continuous, massive impacts, the sea will rage and crash down upon the coastlines of the kingdoms located in the southern part of the continent and the southernmost part of Evergreen.

As if I knew the culprit who caused this mess.

The treatment plant is responsible for processing it.

Superman. A being that has surpassed mortals. A being that has shed the form of a human.

There are not just one of them, but as many as nine of them.

The Dean and Vice Dean of the Academy, three from the Cradle of the Unmanned, the self-proclaimed Three Beauties, the Pope, and even the Sword of Caligo.

Gray was confident that these people would be able to prevent natural disasters, even though he wasn’t the one preventing them.

Why are there three from the cradle of the unmanned, and not four?

Muheo, the owner of the cradle of the unmanned, is a magician.

A wizard who can even roast most dragons with magic.

Actually, the power ‘Eyes that Look Down on the Stars’ would be more of a fraud to the wizard.

Strictly speaking, he is now closer to a swordsman than a magician, but it is said that he has reached the level of a superhuman through magic.

And when the meteorite summoning magic begins, he takes on the dangerous role of activating the magic circle in the middle of the magic circle.

He volunteered, saying that he didn’t care if it failed and his Mana core was damaged, since he didn’t have much time left to live.

How on earth do you calculate that at least 30 years of life is not that long?

About two weeks passed from then and the day of the final battle arrived.

Where the Evergreen Academy warehouse used to be, a magic circle was emitting a splendid light.

And in accordance with that, the divine power was shaking like crazy.

Academy students were not allowed to come near the area under the pretext that the Dragon Lord and Gray were conducting experiments together.

And the moment the light grew stronger and burst out through the complex lines of the magic circle,

“Let’s work.”

Gray’s casual remark became the starting point for changing the map of the continent in the future.

◈ ◈ ◈

The strange-looking being that had been watching the sea for about three weeks was still standing on the coastal cliff today, looking out into the distance at the sea.

No matter how high your level, you must know that your vision cannot reach Evergreen from Zipangu.

―Today too… … Is that so? Did I misjudge?

“Mr. Iwwart.”

-Okay. Any news?

“They say the continent is strangely quiet.”

-What about superhumans?

“… I’m sorry. Originally, superhumans were not meant to spy… … . I’m really sorry.”

-it’s okay.

The words that come out are so irritated that they completely reveal the frustration in their hearts. The more they do this, the more the three princes, who are still resting their foreheads on the dirt floor behind them, shrink even more. Even though there is nowhere else to go.

-Did I make a mistake?

“No, it will definitely come.”

-Yeah. I guess so. That’s right. Okay. Let’s wait.

“It will definitely happen.”

―Yeah. That’s right. The original strategy was half waiting. I guess I’m getting impatient because it’s been a while since I’ve set foot on human land.

The top-class demon, Iwwart, turned towards the palace with a relieved face, as if he had thrown his regret and impatience into the sea.

Before he could even take three steps,

-uh?!

A tremendous amount of energy was felt, enough to threaten even the highest-level demon, Iwwart. From across the sea.

-What is this? Could it be…? Magic?!

He? She? Anyway, Iwwart was different from other beings. He was not overly optimistic about the situation, and he immediately abandoned the idea that he had been certain until just now that the enemy would definitely come.

From the moment I sensed the massive amount of divine power, I quickly put all my effort into figuring out what kind of divine power it was, and I figured it out in less than a second.

Mana.

Even though there is a wide ocean between us, what if the flow of Mana is so vast that it feels so tingly all the way here?

-All, contact the demons immediately!

“Okay. How should I contact you?”

-Avoid!!

“… Yes?”

-Tell him to take care of himself!!

With those words, Iwwart jumped from the coastal cliff into the sea. However, the third prince of Zipangu, Feng, could not ask what it was.

Because before I could see Iwwart standing proudly on the sea and flying quickly, I saw the sky above Zipangu turning red.

“Oh… … . Lord!”

It was the last will and testament of the three princes. One that no one could hear.

also,

『Hidden Act 1-5. You failed to “hunt the superhumans.”』

The last thing Prince Feng heard was a woman’s hard voice as he lost consciousness just before he died from a drinking binge.
