Recently, Croisus has been busy with something.
　He's been in a good mood, partly because he's been able to clean up his lab, which is mostly his room, and partly because he's been working on a magic formula with the young candidates of the Saint Germain school, and that research has been going well lately.
　And when he's in a good mood, he's in the lab all the time. In other words, he was always in the lab, but now that the environment and the research had cleared up, he continued his research in silence.
　He should be working on his physical strength, but he is the type of person who concentrates on one thing and doesn't want to be bothered by unnecessary things. Another reason for her good mood is her relationship with her brother and sister.

　Croisus, who has spent his childhood studying magic, is not very fond of the active Zveit, who is studying to become the next head of the family. He became withdrawn, thinking that his older brother would take over the dukedom anyway, and as a result, he disliked him more and more as they disagreed. As for his sister Celestina, he assumed that if she couldn't use magic, then she couldn't be a mage, and as a result, he dismissed her as an object of interest.
　However, when he found out that her sister was a researcher just like him, he regretted the way he had treated her.
　He was also very quick to apologize. He didn't become suspicious like Zveit, who was troubled over and over until he apologized, but he was straightforward enough to apologize immediately.
　It is typical of a researcher that he does not persist in being wrong, but immediately corrects his mistakes. However, the fact that he did not take any interest in her because she was not his subject of interest is not good for a human being.

　His relationship with his siblings has been improving, and recently he has been enjoying talking to them about some things.
　Zveit says, "It is not wrong to study the characteristics of magic in order to use it efficiently. If you don't understand magic, how can you plan your tactics?
　Celestina also said, "There must be different ways to use magic, not just for fighting. I want to create magic that is useful in people's lives!　I'd like to make magic tools, if possible," she said.
　Even though their directions are different, the conversations between the two brothers and sisters, who are cutting into magic from different directions, are very meaningful, stimulating and new discoveries. He was a research idiot to the core.

"Sorry to put you in a good mood, but... You have a field training next week.　Are you sure you don't want to work on your fitness?

　Makarov's words stopped him in his tracks.
　Croisus, who had been in a good mood up until then, stopped moving and turned her head in his direction with an awkward robot-like motion. She looked very uncomfortable.

Why are you telling me this now?　I forgot about it in my head. ......
"No, you can't forget!　You're a forced participant!　No matter how much you forget, the day will always come.
I'm not sure if you're ready for this, Croisus?　I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it with the equipment the academy gave me.
Yee Ling ...... How could Croisus be prepared?　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　It's a terrible thing to say, but they're basically right.
　Croisus is a tall, beautiful man with silver hair and a brilliant mind. However, because of his looks and cool appearance, people think he is good at sports. However, in reality, he is not good at sports and his personal life is sloppy.
　If it weren't for Yi Lin's dedication and care, his room in the dormitory would be like a dumpster in a few days. People around him impose their own illusions on him because of his appearance, but in reality, Croisus has a very proper personal life. In another sense, the other siblings can be said to have more solid personalities.

　Surprisingly, Zveit is more neat and tidy than Celestina, and Celestina does not keep any unnecessary things around her. If you look at her as a girl of her age, you'll wonder, "What's wrong with this? The room is not girly enough for a girl of her age. After all, there is not a single stuffed animal in the room.
　The room was so lonely that Misaka, who could not bear to see it, arranged flowers in it.
　As a side note, the lonely room has recently been filled with jars of medicinal herbs and minerals, and will soon be transformed into a researcher's room. Still, I can assure you that the room is not as trashy as Croesus'.

How many of your servants have run away this month?　Why is it that the day after I clean the room, there's garbage everywhere? That's crazy!
"That's what I've been told. ....... As I recall, I was up all night repeatedly mixing herbs and other substances that I wanted to try. Since you are a researcher, I think that's acceptable, don't you?
"You're way over the limit, man!　I'm in the next room, and I can smell the stench in the air.　When I woke up, I was lying in the infirmary. What the hell did you do?
I don't remember either. I don't remember either. I found myself collapsed in the courtyard of my dormitory. I really don't know what happened. ......
You can do your mixing in the lab!

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　The fumes from the potion filled the dormitory, and Makarov, who was in the next room, passed out, but just a short distance away from the polluted area, the students of the academy were acting strangely, turning it into a place of chaos.
　It was not so bad if they kept laughing merrily, or stripped naked on the spot, but some of them were too afraid to speak, or started to talk passionately about how homos*xuals and gays are similar but different.

　Those who helped the victims say, "It's hell. It's hell: ....... It's horrible. ...... People can be that crazy. ......... If I could, I would erase it from my memory. I feel like I'm going crazy ......" and .......
　They never went into detail, but let's just say that what they saw when they went in was so dangerous that everything was mosaic. It was not something that any sane person should know.

I remember wanting to try it so badly that I couldn't resist. ....... I'm curious to know what effect it had on you.
I'm curious too. ....... The guys who helped rescue him went crazy on the spot, you know?　I'm pretty sure they made a bad one. ......
I think you're going to destroy the country out of curiosity soon, ......, Croisus.
"Selina, no matter how much Mr. Croisus, he might ...... be able to do that. ............

　In their circle of friends, Croisus was perceived as a complete troublemaker.
　Because he was so good at what he did, he never knew what he was going to do, and when he did do something, he caused a lot of damage to those around him.
　He was so bad because he had no malicious intentions, and somehow his victims often lost their memories and did not remember him at all. If it had been an amusing crime, it could have been punished by law, but it has been dismissed as an accident.


　In any case, whatever the efficacy of the chemicals that were created and filled, they disappeared the next day without leaving a trace, leaving no evidence behind. It was still a mystery as to what the hell he had created.

I'll borrow some spare gear from ...... my brother.
"Are you serious about that?　It's a good thing that it was me, but it's also a good thing that it was you.　I'm glad it was me, but if it was your brother, he would have beaten you mercilessly.
"That may be true. I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate, being a blood brother to Mr. Croisus.
I'm sure you're right." "Croisus-kun, ......, you'd better get your affairs in order, too.

　He can't say anything because he knows what he's doing.
　Borrowed items are not returned for some time, and in some cases they come back to their owners in a badly damaged state.
　He remembers things very late, and by the time he realizes it, it's too late in many ways to find them, and some things disappear forever.
　If the old man or Iris saw his room, they would undoubtedly say, "It's a rotting forest .......
　Once, Carosti visited his room, but as soon as she opened the door, she screamed and fainted on the spot. What she saw remains a mystery, and she has forgotten the memory of that moment.
　However, for some reason, she has not visited Croisus' room since that day.

"What did Caro see?　It's your room, don't you remember what you put in there?
・・・・・・・ To be honest, I was sleeping here at the time and hadn't been back to the dorm for a while.
Caro-chan, when I try to pick up Croisus-kun, he starts shaking for some reason and finally cries.　He must have seen something really scary.
You didn't make a ...... homunculus, did you, Croisus?　You didn't make a homunculus, did you? I heard a voice in your room saying, "I want to be human as soon as possible! I heard a voice in your room saying, "I can't wait to be human!
What's that?　I mean, it's too late for that!
I don't remember that. I don't remember. ...... Would I have created such an inexplicable creature?

　Croisus Van Solstair. Seventeen years old.
　Enigmatic in other ways than his father. He is also an unconscious danger.
　The room he sleeps in is a veritable sea of decay. It's a Danger Room where mysterious creatures are born.
　Incidentally, the creation of life is forbidden by the state.


　This is a very interesting story.　

　Two months back in time, the dormitory of the school has entered the summer vacation.
　Croisus, the owner of this room, slept in the laboratory and did not return that day.

　In the dormitory room, with the curtains closed and no light coming in, an unidentifiable creature began to move again today.
　The mucus-like creature wriggled in the darkness, crawled out of the bottle like a slime seeking freedom, and began to act. Shaking its irregularly shaped and eerie body, the mucus gradually began to build itself up.
　It was as if the contents of a chrysalis were changing into the shape it should have. In a way, it was as if I was watching the process of life evolution at high speed. From a single-celled organism to an organism constructed of multiple somatic cells: .......
　Eventually, it transformed itself into a humanoid creature, but its appearance was too ugly.
　When the creature opened the window with its three-fingered arms, it walked out into the darkness and disappeared into thin air. The only thing that remained of the creature that I witnessed was its long tail.

　No one knows what this creature is. ...... will never even know.
　It was just an urban legend told in a corner of the city somewhere. .......
　And ......

　---And

　...... Now--In an underground sewer that no one will ever approach, an unidentified creature roars.

　The Creator has no idea how this being came to be, and has completely forgotten the process.
　It is more of an accidental creature than a truthful one, but whatever it is, it has all disappeared into the darkness.


　I'm not sure what to say.


　Let's get back to the story.
　Croisus was being rejected in the lab, but he ended up going to Zveit's place. He was accompanied by Makarov.
　The two of them manage to find Zveit and tell him what happened. But ......

...So, if you could, I'd like to borrow some of your equipment. ......
I refuse!　What kind of nerve do you have?　What kind of nerve do you have, you bastard!

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
　The two of them seemed to have improved their rapport lately, and he hoped that he might be able to help, but he was turned down. This was probably Croisus' own fault.


　In case you're wondering, we're in the Great Library, and Zveit's friend Dio is also here.
　Dio's goal is to make friends with his first love, Celestina. But that doesn't take into account the fact that the vicious love sickness will kick in.
　What would happen if I made a screaming proposal?

　Back to the topic at hand, the result for Croisus is this. If you lend something to Croisus, who is sloppy by nature, you never know when it will come back to you. In fact, it is more likely that it will not come back to you.
　If someone is told such a story and says, "OK, fine! would be a very saintly person.
　In any case, Croisus is an exceptional person who has not only three but five things in common: he does not return borrowed things, he loses them, he damages them, he throws them away, and some unknown creature has taken them.
　Lending it out was the same as giving it to him.

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.　I believe it was made around the same time as mine. ......
I've unearthed it, but all the equipment was decomposed. It's rusted to a crisp, and the leather parts look like they've been eaten by something. ......
"Excavation?　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything you like.　What's eating you up?
"Well?　I'm sure you're not the only one.
What are you cultivating in the ...... dormitory?　What are you growing in the dormitory, it's obviously not small animals?

　It's a good thing that the two of them, who haven't had much to do with each other in the past, have had numerous opportunities to talk recently, but the more they learn about Croisus, the more mysterious he becomes.
　But the more I learn about Croesus, the more mysterious he becomes. It was the first time he had ever heard of an unknown experiment being repeated in a dormitory where many students lived together.
　When Zveit heard this, he wanted to hold his head in his hands. No, he already had.

I told you so.　I told you it was impossible. ......
Macaroon ......, keep a close eye on this guy. I don't know what he's capable of.
Who the f*ck is Macaron?　And you're the big brother, you're supposed to be supervising this problem child!
I can't. ...... I can't handle it.
I can't do it. I can't handle it. Don't put me in charge of such a troublesome brother!

　In the event that you're in the market for a brand new pair of shoes or boots, then you're in the right place.　I'm not sure what to make of this. But the school event is not so easy.
　However, the academy's events are not that simple, and if you don't have the equipment, you will be sent to the rear support, so you will have to participate in any case. It's not always a good idea.

You're still the same, Croisus. ....... But you have to go to the field training, you know?　It's mandatory for the top performers.
"...... I see. It's not always easy. By the way, is that ...... Wally?
No, it's not!　It's Dio, remember? We were in middle school together!
Oh, ......, that's your name. As an apology for my rudeness, I'll give you a stone mask. It's a very rare mask that will grow strange spines if you splash a little blood on it. ......
I don't want it!　What's with the weird mask?
I just happened to buy it at an antique market, but I didn't know what to do with it. Would you like to try it on for yourself?
"You're trying to experiment on people!

　It seems that Croisus has a habit of collecting, and sometimes he goes into town and buys strange things.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and how you can use it.
　As a result, the foundation of the sea of decay is created, and the Danger Room is completed by conducting experiments on magic potions in such a room that is like a storage room.
　It's a wonder that Croisus himself doesn't think anything of it, even when he sleeps in such a room. Even if he did, he would only stylishly comment, "Oh dear, it's getting a bit messy," but would not think of cleaning it up. In such a garbage dump-like room, there was a fishy magic tool that kept sleeping.

I'm sure you're not the only one.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
No, of course not!　You can be attacked by demons even in the back!
I'm sure you're not the only one.　I'm Makarov.
I'm Makarov!　That's not even one letter right!
Don't sweat the small stuff.
I'm not small!　We were in the same class!　We were in the same class, remember?
You're the brother who can't remember people's names. ......

　I'm not sure what to say.
　These brothers don't want to remember the names of unimportant people. They will remember if they have to, but if they don't see each other for a while, they quickly forget.
　Even the Sumptrolls will be completely forgotten once the factions have settled their differences.
　In a sense, they were brothers with crisp personalities.

　Fortunately, there were no people in the library, but the librarians were glaring at them in annoyance.
　They are quite annoying people, and this chaotic argument will continue for a while.


　This chaotic argument will continue for a while.




　Celestina was teaching Urna magic in the training hall at the same time that the Solistea brothers were having a dispute. However, the number of magic formulas that can be engraved in a beastman's subconscious is limited, and she must choose the one that suits her best to use it efficiently. However, based on her actual training and past experience, she decided to focus on combat.

After much deliberation, I've decided to have Urna learn Shield, Air Field, and Hawkeye magic.
I'm not sure what to make of that.　It's all about fighting, right?
The shield spell can be cast on your arms and legs to turn your body into a weapon. The air field is to protect you from long range attacks such as arrows, and the hawkeye is to see your enemy quickly.
Can shield magic be used as a weapon?
Shall we give it a try?

　In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　The scarecrow was cleanly cut in two, and the old full plate armor attached to it fell with a clatter. The students around the school were stunned, not knowing what had happened.
　Shield magic can be used as a sword, a shield, or even a hammer, depending on how you use it. It was a very useful spell.
　It is said that attack is the best defense, but just by converging defensive magic and gathering it on the arm, the power can be as sharp as a great sword.
　The people around me were simply speechless at the sight of such a reversal of ideas.

This is the potential of shield magic. If you put it on your arm, it could be a powerful striking weapon. I can't teach you the magic I used, but I'm sure you could do something similar with ordinary defensive magic.
"Great!　You can do this with barrier magic!
You can use barrier magic to strengthen the body of a beastman, and then use barrier magic to strike. If you have a weapon, you should be able to defeat most demons, but don't be overconfident. It's dangerous to be surrounded by multiple demons.
I've never been in a fight before, you know. You can't defeat a demon by fighting with it at best.

　And so the magic training begins. It's not that long before the field training, and I don't know how well Urna will be able to use magic if we train her now, but it's still better than nothing.
　The magic formula is not the one that the old man optimized, but the one that Celestina optimized herself for research purposes. The magic that Xellos modified is sold at his family home, so it cannot be spread carelessly, and the magic used in this academy is difficult for the beast race to activate.
　This is the same situation as Celestina, who could not use magic before, but Urna, who can still use elementary magic, has more magical power than Celestina at that time.

　Urna imprinted the magic formula into her subconscious and immediately tried to use it.

And ...... magic power. Be a shield against the enemy [Mana Shield].

　When the spell is deployed, a barrier of magic power is created around Urna.
　In the past, this spell could not be activated, but Celestina's improved spell was efficient enough for Urna to use, and could be easily activated without any burden.
　This is a degraded version of the existing magic formula that is based on the old man's improved magic, but it is still much easier to use than the magic in the academy's instruction manual.

You should try to gather the magic barriers deployed around you into your arms. If you can't do that, start by training in magic manipulation.
Yeah, I'll try that. ...... Whoa?　This is a bit ...... difficult, isn't it?
"What?　What? "A little" ......?

　A magical barrier began to gather on Urna's arm, condensing as if to cover it. It's the first time I've done this, but it's incredibly fast.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how you can use it. Even so, it is not as fast as this.

　However, Urna did it easily without any prior knowledge, and her manipulation was unusually precise and fast.
　This is a characteristic of the race. The beastmen, who use their magic more efficiently than the others, operate on an instinctive level in order to reduce their magic consumption. In addition, the magic formula, which consumes less magic power, minimizes the burden on her as much as possible and also uses the magic power of the outside world, so the effect is also great.
　In other words, although she possesses less magic power than humans, she has the innate ability to manipulate magic power far better than any other species.
　If their magical power was equal to that of humans, the beastmen would be a race far superior to humans. As a person who desperately practices magic manipulation, this is an enviable ability.

　A translucent magical armor was formed on Urna's arm, and she opened and squeezed her hand to check its texture. She doesn't know what kind of amazing thing she has done.
　He was a little puzzled, but he needed to check the power of the scarecrow in the training ground.

So, let's see how powerful it is.
"Yes. I just have to hit that thing, right?
Yes. If you can, you can also use it to strengthen your body to see how it works. What?

　In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. The beast's physical ability was so great that the scarecrow was cruelly shattered into pieces.
　Those watching were left open-mouthed and speechless from the sheer shock.
　Urna is also famous for being a failure, and is not looked upon well by the students of the school, but her image as a failure has been vanquished.

It's a great idea, Celestina. I didn't expect it to be so powerful!
What?　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had to deal with this. ......
It's a blow to any demon.
It's a good idea to use it as a trump card since it's always consuming magic power. You can use it as a trump card.
It's true. ...... My head is starting to spin. ......
I'm not sure what to do.　You're going to collapse!

　Shield spells and body enhancements seem to be quite taxing.
　It's good to train and learn how to use magic, but you're not good enough to use it, and it consumes a lot of magic power.
　In order to use two spells at the same time, it seems that you need to raise your rank (level).

It's better to continue training in magic manipulation for a while, and then raise the rating during actual training. If you don't, you'll just consume your magic power and fall. ......


"This is the first time I've experienced the loss of magic ....... Ahahahahaha.
"Excuse me for interrupting your fun.
"Whoa!

　The cool beauty maid with glasses suddenly appeared.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　There was a hint of something about to come out from behind him.

I'm sorry, Miska. ...... Please don't startle me.
I didn't feel the ...... presence again. And the ...... smell.
I use deodorant products every day. You have a letter from the Grand Master, young lady.
From Grandfather?

　When I received the letter from Miska, it seemed to have already been sealed so that I could easily open it.
　When I opened the letter and started to read it, I had a few questions and looked at Miska.

"Miska ......, you're not reading this letter, are you?
"Of course not. I'm sure he's writing something creepy like 'I'm lonely, I'm dying' to your daughter. I'm sure they do it all the time, and I'm sure it's nothing new.
"Miska ......, don't you really hate your grandfather?
I love you with all my heart.　I love you more than anyone in the world, ...... surely?
Why the question mark?

　I have a lot of thoughts, but when I read the letter, I found that what Miska had said had come true. There were three pages of content that was not the writing of a good old man, and at the end there was something apologetically important. Rather, that one line was the main part of the letter, but it did not contain any details.
　The sentence was, "Finally, Xelloss-dono is going to escort me to the actual battle training~ ...... I want to go, but I'm not going. The rest of the text was really unimportant.
　Celestina plopped down on the ground.

"Don't be such a prude, young lady.
"Grandfather ......, this is the most important ....... We can't stay like this. I must inform my brother. ......
"Mr. Zveit is in the library. Master Zveit is in the library. I'm responsible for Master Urna. ...... No, I'll take care of her, so you'd better go inform him quickly.
Please. Hurry up!
Wait, Celestina. ...... There's something scary about this person. ......

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you have. The shine of the glasses invites fear.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.
Don't worry, it's not scary.　Don't worry, it won't take long. ...... Mmmmmmmmmmm.

　Needless to say, a scream came from the training ground shortly after.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.


　I'm not sure what to say.


・・・・・・ It's time to come to a conclusion. I'll get the materials, you fix the gear. It's not too late.
That's the only way to do it. I just don't know if it's safe to leave the materials with Croisus.
My guess is that he won't try to fix it, he'll just throw it away. It's Croisus, right?
It's possible. ・・・・・・
Now I know how you three are looking at me. There's no way ...... I'd do that.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

　When it comes to demon material, Croisus is likely to change his eyes.
　After all, the materials that Zveit is offering are from the demons that live in the Great Deep Green Zone of Furan. No doubt he would use it not only to repair his equipment, but also to prepare a potion.
　When it comes to magic, Croisus has no regard for it.

You don't trust me. ....... I have reason to believe that.　I would never do such a thing in a dire situation.
Really?　I have a chimera needle, for example.
I'll pay you. Sell it to me!　Now, come on!
That's immediate. Where's the sense in that?
I knew this would happen. It's Croisus. ......

　Croisus' greed knows no bounds.

If you leave a poisonous needle in a room full of garbage and accidentally step on it, you'll die for real.


"If that's how you want to die, so be it!　It's a satisfying way for a researcher to die. After all, it would confirm the effects of the chimera's poison.
No. ...... Croisus is sick.
He looks cool on the outside, but ...... he's too disappointing on the inside.

　The three of them were complicated because they were somehow popular despite being such useless people.
　The more you feel the absurdity of the world, the more .......

"Brother ...... haa...haa......

　In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll be able to go to the web site of your choice.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Celestina?　What's the matter, you're out of breath?
The doctor is coming to ....... ......
「「「「 Yes? 」」」」
He's going to be part of a combat training escort.

　The air stops.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. I've only heard of him, but I only know that he is a high-ranking mage.

"Master?　He's your master, right?　He taught you how to decipher magic formulas and taught your sister magic. ......
Yeah, he's ...... a mage who sometimes fights with his fists.
What kind of mage are you? ....... That's a little out of the ordinary.
Oh, ...... oh, ...... Celestina, ...... is this a dream?

　In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the best ways to get the most out of your time. The mage will be participating in a school event.

I'm not sure what to make of that.　So it's going to be a ...... big deal.
Why do you think so?　Why do you think so? He might be struggling to make ends meet and come here to work as a mercenary.
Master has plenty of ways to earn money. You have plenty of ways to earn money. You don't have to do such a shabby job. Can you kill seven wyverns?
No, sir. It's like going to your death.
Right?　Then there's only one answer. Maybe it's my protection.　Did those bloodthirsty idiots move?

　Unlike before, Zveit's eyes became stern.
　Sumptroll, who controlled about half of the Weasler faction, was rumored to have connections with people in the underworld.
　Delsacis, who is also Zveit's father, doesn't know much about what he's doing behind the scenes, but he has destroyed many dangerous organizations and has a wide range of information sources. I'm going to assume that he was caught in their network.

Is it possible that they're coming to check on us unannounced?
That's also possible. ...... He's got a good personality.
Oh!　One, Zveit .......
Oh, .......

　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, you may want to check out the following
　It was a pain in the ass, but he had no choice but to introduce his friend to Celestina. Otherwise, he would be annoyed by the constant reminders.

"Celestina, this is my friend I told you about. The one with the horns is Croisus' friend.
"Oh, excuse me. I've heard from both of your brothers, and I believe their names are ...... Di*id and My*Fic.
"She's got the wrong name too!

　The three siblings were on different paths, but they were similar in that they couldn't remember the names of people they didn't care about.
　At this point, she realized that Deeo had been recognized as a person of no importance to her.
　They both thought their sister would be better off, but blood is blood. .......

　Later, Dio managed to get his name remembered.
　Even though it was just that, he was quite excited.
　Zveit was amazed. .......


　I'm sure you'll agree.


So, finally, the worm is under ...... Tina...
"What can I do for you?
What do you want to do?" "Guffaw. ...... What do you want to do?　I'm going to roast you. Yes, very well. ......
Huh. ...... Don't drag me into this, okay?　You have to take responsibility for your own actions.
What's the point if they don't know? Dandyce ...... Yeah, as long as they don't find out. ......

　Finally, the crazy old man began to prepare.
