"What a surprise!　This is the twelfth time a surveillance grimoire has been destroyed!

A short distance away from the 《Treasure Labyrinth》.

　In a room, there was a lot of commotion over what the boy had done.

"You're saying that the surveillance was destroyed?
"Oh, no way!　It's supposed to look like just a bug!　The only people who can see through this are the ...... "Four Great Sages"!

　There is one monitor in the room.
　There is a monitor in the room. Through the monitoring magic tool, which looks like a bug at first glance, the situation of the Treasure Labyrinth is displayed.

　The boy knocked down every single surveillance grimoire that we presented to him.
　Because of this, we were only able to get fragmentary information about the royal capital side.


There seems to be a bug over there that's a little bigger than we thought.


　In the noisy room.
　One of the men was calmly looking around.

But ...... it's just a coincidence, isn't it?
"A dozen of them were destroyed?
"d*mn ......?
Thou art too shallow.
You're too shallow. ...... Arnold, one of the Four Wise Men. You are one of the Four Wise Men, Arnold, and you can remain calm in a situation like this.

　The man in the robe stands up.
　The man's name is Arnolt.
　The man's name is Arnolt, and his crinkling fingers are deeply etched with wrinkles.

That boy is definitely strong. That boy is undoubtedly strong, but he's no better than a worm in front of me, enjoying the power of true magic.

　He's never been defeated by anyone before.
　He has never been defeated. Eventually he rejected others.
　He was convinced that no one could satisfy him.

Maybe that boy can quench my thirst.

　The man took a step forward.

"Hey, wait a minute!　Where do you think you're going?
"It's obvious. The Treasure Labyrinth.
"What are you talking about!　You can't go to the labyrinth if you're going to ...... go!

　The man standing in front of him grabbed his own neck and began to writhe in agony as Arnold raised his hand.
　And then slowly his body collapsed and he stopped breathing.

"If you are going to interfere with me, then come at me, others. It will be a good preparation.

　There was no answer to Arnolt's words.

"So let's get started. ......?

　As Arnauld was leaving the room.
　He was about to leave the room when he felt an intense hostility coming from the monitor and turned around.

"What the hell is this ......?

　At that moment.

　Ballyiiiiiiiiin!

　The monitor broke, and an electric shock hit Arnolt and the others.

　.

It's still depressing. ......
"Yes?

　We've just squashed our twelfth bug of the day and I'm starting to get angry.

What's the matter, Kurt? Out of the blue.

　Marise looked at me suspiciously.
　You can't blame me for not noticing. .......

　It's obvious to me that there's a surveillance grimoire flying around us all the time.

　At first glance, this grimoire looks like an insect.
　But through the grimoire, it can send images to distant places.
　That means someone's watching us.
　For what?

　Are the teachers sending the images so that the students won't be in danger during the exchange games?
　No, there is no such explanation, and considering the civilization of this world, .......

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it.

　And if that's the case, there should have been an explanation before the exchange.
　If that's the case...

Hey, guys, listen up.
What's going on, Kurt?
We're collecting items at a good pace.

　I'm gonna make them stop.

　Now we're in a forested area.
　We've obtained a supreme treasure in the first layer.
　Unfortunately, for me, it was an out-of-the-way item called the Staff of Fools, but the other members said, "It's an amazing treasure!　It's SSS rank! The other members seemed to be excited.
　But this was not enough for me.
　After that, I steadily collected more and more items, and came to the second level.

I've got to pull myself together at this point. We can't be too careful.

　When I said this to the others, they all gave me a surprised look.



'...... Kurt. It's a piece of cake now.
Yes, it is. I know I shouldn't be too careful, but this is indeed ......

　Lara and Marise said.
　The other two third-year students also agreed.

I honestly didn't think a freshman could be this powerful.
I swear, ...... I'm losing confidence.
"I mean, how easy is it to use storage magic?

　He sounded puzzled.
　So, if I say that it's normal magic ......, he's going to say, "It's not normal! I'm sure she'll reply, "It's not normal!
　Instead of answering the third year Corey's question.

"Hey guys, listen up. I'm sure you've heard of it.
「「「「What? 」」」」

　The four of us chimed in.

"Kurt, that's ......
That's what it means. I'm not sure what you mean by that. I think it's safe to say that we're destroying them as soon as we find them,......, but I think the empire is setting them up. It's called outside interference.
I don't think so.

　Marlies is right.
　In the original rules of the exchange game, it is illegal for the students to borrow the power of the teachers, for example, to interfere ...... from the outside. If a teacher intervenes in a dangerous situation, the student will be disqualified from the game.
　We might be able to win if we showed them one of the surveillance grimoires we broke, and pointed out the Empire's violation of the rules.

　But that's boring.
　And ...... apparently, even in this world, the empire is a cowardly one.
　With only one piece of evidence, we don't even know what they're going to say.
　So.

I'm going to check on the people who are watching us now.

　As soon as I announced this, another surveillance grimoire that looked like an insect flew at us.
　The others don't seem to have noticed it.

"Voltbird.

　I raise my palm toward the flying surveillance grimoire.
　In an instant, the magic formula of electric shock magic was formed into the shape of a bird and headed towards the surveillance grimoire.

　A direct hit like this would only destroy one of the many bugs.
　So, ......, I'm going to try something a little more elaborate this time.


　Originally, the monitoring magic tool and the relay are connected by magic power.
　That magic power acts like a cable and sends the image to the destination. ......
　Then.
　It's also possible to deliver magic to the relay point through that magic power.


"Kurt. I'm not sure what to make of this.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out later.
　From here on out, even I'll have to concentrate a bit.

　My plan was successful, and the Voltbird was stuck in the relay through the monitoring spell.
　At the same time, I reverse the magic in it.
　Then, along with the magic reaching you, you will be able to ...... see the other side of the image.

　The image of the other side came to my mind vaguely.


"Whoa!　What the hell!　There was a sudden electric shock from the monitor ......!
What's going on? Is there a malfunction?


　The other side seemed to be in a panic as the Voltbard rampaged through the room.
　The Voltobird is a lightning-elemental spirit magic.
　It has a certain degree of autonomy, and it continues to face its target.

　Some of the ......?　There are also a few teachers from the Imperial side in the mix, after all. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure what to do.

　But still,......, it's pretty sloppy.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

"Hahahahahaha!　I'm surprised!　I thought it was theoretically possible, but I never thought anyone would actually make it happen!　And not from the Empire, but from the capital, such a monster would appear!

　Among them.
　Amongst them, there was one old man in a robe who seemed to be taking it easy.

"Hmm?　Hmm?
"What's wrong, Kurt. You look like you've been thinking about it.

　I heard Lara's voice, but I was surprised to see the images in my head.

　He's deploying ...... warding magic.
　This is why only one of them is able to survive the Voltbird's attack.

Looks like there's a little bit of good in this world.
"Kurt. What is it that you've been mumbling about?　Why don't you explain it to us?



　But it's settled.

The Empire is cheating, that's settled.
