"What are you talking about?"
"Look at his face."
"I can't see because of the smoke."
"...Are you a freshman?"
At those words, Coholti took out a monocle with a jeweled lens from his pocket. It was an artifact that could see through the smoke.
"Ah!"
Coholti let out an exclamation as he recognized the identity of his junior.
That one from before...
"The poor freshman who got wrongly caught by Professor Mortum!"<...

Yuder recalled the intimate moments he shared with Kishiar before heading out to sea. Though only a few days had passed, everything felt different between then and now.
Back then, they were facing a disaster with uncertain outcomes. It was a time when they learned new facts about the connection between them, and Yuder had to consider their first connection from his previous life, which he had deemed unnecessary to discuss in detail. It was a headache i...

"Being alive is a wonderful thing. I had been thinking all day yesterday that I wanted to sit side by side with you like this and watch you eat cake, and now I've achieved that dream."
For a moment, Yuder was at a loss for words, his chest tightening slightly, but he averted his gaze and answered as if it were nothing. "...You were thinking about that in the midst of everything?"
"What do you mean by 'that'? What hope could be more wonderful than...

'...Perhaps I feel this way because the Great Southern Earthquake has ceased to exist.'
The voices of his colleagues who had hugged him, crying and laughing, echoed faintly in his head. An unfamiliar thrill pierced through his chest, then subsided. As Yuder closed his eyes, exhaling deeply, Kishiar lay beside him and laughed.
"It's really strange. It's only been a day since everything ended, yet the moment we entered the sea felt like it happened...

The loop of misfortune caused by the wrong question.
It was a nightmarish situation for a divination mage.
And the best way to prepare for such a situation was…
'To not get involved in the situation in the first place.'
It was a somewhat absurd answer, but it was the correct one.
Instead of attempting divination magic right away, the key was to recognize the trap hidden in the question and react accordingly.

Anglago was eventually dragged out into the corridor.
Grabbed by the collar, Anglago apologized. "Cough, cough... Wardanaz. I'm sorry. I was deceived too."
"If you were deceived, you fool, you should have submitted the assignment as well. You didn't submit it, so how were you deceived?"
Faced with Yi-Han's growling, Anglago thought to himself, 'That's because it's you who could submit it...!'

The relentlessly fired bone fragments swept the surroundings like buckshot, turning the area into a chaotic mess. The adventurers, who had been enduring and holding out until the mage's mana ran out, began to sense that something was amiss.

Even while shielding their bodies with their shields, complete defense was impossible. As one adventurer, hit by the bone fragments, staggered and exposed himself from ...

‘Could it be...?’
Outsiders who knew nothing thought that the succession of the Duke of Diarca had long been decided. It was because the eldest son, Kironne, had already built a far superior network compared to his brothers, using his noticeably older age as a weapon. However, Theorado, who was also from one of the four ducal families, knew very well that age and connections could not be the answer to securing the title.
The Duke of Diarca wa...

In the office of the Commander of the Imperial Knights in the Seventh Wall district of the capital, the current commander, Theorado Van Tain, was known for his obsession with swords. As befitting a place where he spent a long time, it was filled with glass cases storing his collected swords. It seemed to be a place made for swords rather than for humans.
Theorado sat among those swords and read the letter that had just arrived. It was none other than a...

Yi-Han was disappointed.

It wasn't all that surprising, though. The imperial bureaucrats were known for their integrity and uprightness, so they were unlikely to be swayed by such personal connections.
Still, he had thought that since they were from the same tower, there might be some way to get through, but…

Eunrad couldn't refute the words of the White Tiger Tower student. As a senior from the Blue Dragon Tower, this was indeed something to be ashamed of.

The White Tiger Tower student nodded as if he had expected this. "Right? As long as they're human, there's no way they wouldn't help. It's probably a bit exaggerated. They'll...

The greatly overturned wave crashed down upon the breakwater of Charloin.
The strength to hold on faltered, and the body, as if flung away, bent and flew through the air.
Within the current, monsters writhed, clamoring and leaping in their frenzy to devour Yuder.
At this point, Yuder lacked the strength to confront them. Yet, he harbored no worry. For a hand, appearing from somewhere, had scooped him up without a moment's hesitation, pullin...

Even with the same amount of mana, the mana was never exactly the same.
Some mana might have a slightly stronger affinity for the fire attribute, some might have a slightly stronger affinity for the negative attribute, and some mana might be murky due to many impurities.
Mana with fewer impurities and higher purity produced much stronger effects even with the same amount.
Naturally, as a mage, one would want to carry only the purest mana in...

The bewildered students exhaled heavily and glanced out the window.
The phoenix flapped its wings, looking at them as if wondering what was wrong.
