"You're going into the labyrinth?　Alone?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Here is your permit from the House of Lords.

"Hmm. I'm sure I checked. There's also a letter of introduction from Charles. I see. You're free to go. But take it easy. Come out as soon as you feel it's dangerous.

I understand. Thank you very much."

　At the entrance to the magic labyrinth, you show your permit to the knight guarding the gate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This permit was issued by the House of Lords, but Charles had also given it to me in his own hand.

　It is better for exchange students to have a permit to enter the labyrinth, but it also has something to do with the fact that I am only five years old.

　The labyrinth is located at the end of an old tunnel in a small mountain, and the labyrinth core exists there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it seems that the tunnel is not the only place where there is a lot of magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The mountains outside the tunnels themselves have a certain amount of increased magical power.

　Therefore, children who are young enough to attend the elementary school of the House of Lords sometimes do not enter the tunnels, but train in the mountains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only time they enter the tunnels is when they want to fight against the armored soldiers or when they want to go deeper into the labyrinth where the magic power is even higher.

　By the way, it seems that most of the students who train in the place where this magic labyrinth is located are children of knights, barons, and other low-ranked families in the nobility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The children of high-ranking nobles are born with a large amount of magic power.

　Therefore, they do not go to the labyrinth but go to the Academy of Nobles in the royal capital to study elegantly.

　It is better to attend the noble academy in the royal capital in order to get to know other people as a child of the noble family, but it is better to improve his magical power in the labyrinth for his future.

　It is said that how to divide the time between the two is a very difficult problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I came here, I saw some other students, but not many familiar faces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it was nothing to do with who I knew, but....

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's get inside quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We pass through the entrance of the magic labyrinth and enter the tunnel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was dark inside, but there was a light installed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Briaria Magical Kingdom has advanced technology in the field of magical tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Among them were magical tools for lighting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The walls inside the tunnels were covered with light fixtures at equally spaced intervals to maintain visibility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The tunnel seemed to be larger than expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was wide and high enough for several people to walk side by side, so that even wielding swords would not be a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A few steps after entering the entrance, I light up the lighted magical device attached to my waist while confirming such things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a magical tool set to glow blue, which means that the person who wears this blue light is a human being, not an armorer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that the blue light is meant to prevent humans from mistakenly attacking each other, since both armored soldiers and humans walk around with weapons in the labyrinth.

"Hmm. It really is filled with magical power."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After checking the inside of the tunnel, I take a deep breath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After calming myself down, I reach for the bag on my waist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a magic bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He thrusts his hand inside and takes out the medicine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He pulls out a magic penetration potion from the bag and swallows it in one gulp.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This will allow you to take in more of the surrounding magic into your body for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once again, I take a deep breath and let myself take in the magic into my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... yeah.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I seem to be able to absorb more magic than in the palace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this is not enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's go deeper where there is more magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this in mind, we headed deeper into the tunnels.

"I didn't expect to see so many magic-armored soldiers. I thought we would meet them sooner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, I was nervous as I made my way through the tunnels.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seemed that we didn't encounter any armored soldiers that close to the entrance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe there were other people in the tunnel, and they might have defeated them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, when I came to a place wider than the passageway, I decided to stop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not a square, but a small room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I move my body there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He pulls out his hard sword from the scabbard at his waist and readies it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He performs his most familiar descending movement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Your body moves as your mind imagines.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The hard-fang sword has also activated its [hardening] ability through magic, but this is not apparent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I feel that I can wield the sword more powerfully than usual, perhaps due to the effect of the demon armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I felt that it might need to be modified a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because Ars gave me the armor just before I entered the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wearing this demon armor had the effect of increasing strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When you have more power than usual, your body movements in a moment may be different from your imagination.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the movements of your body are slightly different from the ones you imagined in your mind, you may not know what will happen in the actual battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this in mind, I was swinging my sword for a while to correct my body movements.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was then.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A sound came from the passage leading to the back of the small room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The clanging sound was getting louder and louder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was getting closer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Was it someone else?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought so, but it seems I was wrong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A human-shaped moving armor appeared from the back of the passage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no blue light on the waist of the armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That means he is not a human being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is a magic-armed soldier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so, in my first labyrinthine encounter, I came face to face with a magic-armed soldier in moving metal armor.
