What are they doing here?
What do you mean, aren't you a bandit?

　I don't mean to get back at you, but if you don't take into account this level of meandering, you'll be put through the chancellor's paces.

'Are you kidding me?　I'm not just a wizard, I'm telling you.
You noticed.

　The gaze, which has become so sharp, changes to one that does not allow for jokes. Does his position as chancellor make him so?

'I honestly don't know either. Did the bandit use magic?''
Yeah, the light system.
So did the bandits who came to me.

　Ars takes a pause to think about it. How did he receive it?

'I have nothing to hide,'
..........

　When I glanced at him, he smiled at me without saying a word.

''Some kind of experimental body.......had been modified, right? And there were scars on its neck.
You're not just a bandit, are you?
I think he's acting with a purpose.

　The academy makes information available to the public. It cannot exist without the public's consent, so there is relatively little to keep secret.
　That is to say, if you are going to target it, you can get the location information of the facility such as its location beforehand.
　Even so, no one would be foolish enough to take on a bunch of magicians.

''What do you mean by objective?''
I don't know that much.
But five precious elements attacked us. I wonder if they are an organization of some kind.
I don't know.

　It's not as if they don't exist. There are organizations that try to exclude wizards.
　There are even followers who believe that demons are more powerful than magicians. The chancellor may have suspicions about this, as they have been involved in terrorist activities and other incidents in the past.

　I'm not sure if this is something to do with them. This is of course my conclusion after taking into account the matter of the mission.

'I don't think so.
Why would you think that?

　Ars stopped him there by thrusting his hand forward.

'You must address the Governor any further. I can't tell you, sir.'

　That alone was enough to give the Chancellor an idea.
　In other words, it's a presentation that it's not unrelated to the military's mission, and at the same time, it's proof that it's in the execution of its mission.

''Hahhhh.......I get it.
I'll leave you to it.
Yeah, thanks for your help.

　Ars sat back up.

'Good luck with the aftermath, Chancellor. 'Because this time you've found a hole in the security and the security system.'

　He lavishes a bad smile on his face.

'Why don't you help me if you think so?'
That's not my job, sir.

　He quickly leaves the room to prevent the bush snakes from appearing in the sprinkling.

　The students are also unusually out on the grounds, looking at the claw marks of the bandits as if they were just onlookers.

　They seem to be more curious than fearful, such as whoever the doctor is being carried into the infirmary. Ars just listens and thinks that he has a lot of bluster.

　He was walking around while being hit by such out-of-place colors.

'Mr. Ars.'

　A dark-haired student crawled out of the circle of female students, waving to them.
　Bowing politely and walking pliantly to Ars, it was the second year Felinella student.

　Ars didn't have to go that far, just to say hello, but he had no choice but to fix his feet, which he didn't want to stop.

'Feri?'
It's been a long time.

　This is because, although she said she was coming to Ars's laboratory, she never came there.
　She wanted to go, but she was always driven away on her father's business.
　He's not a regular soldier yet, but maybe it's because he's an aristocrat, or maybe it's because he's forced to help him with his work every time something goes wrong. It was supposed to be a good experience, but lately it's been bothering me that it doesn't fit within the scope of the help.

　There is no question that Felinella is also engaged because she understands her position as a nobleman.
　She has to supply the army with excellent mages to show her rank as a nobleman.

''Are you alright?''
Hmm?　What?
It sounded like the chancellor wanted me to come over.
Yeah, I've just come from an interrogation.
Wha--

　The clenched fists began to shake full force as the illusion of long hair lifted in a buzz against gravity.

''The ex-single's share,''

　The first time I lost my eye contact, the corner of my eye was fished out.

　I quickly corrected him, saying that he was exaggerating a bit.

'No, I was just asked a few questions,'

　Did they succeed in extinguishing a small fire that was likely to be a catastrophe in a hurry?

''Oh, that's right but that's too much of an imitation for the old man.

　The fire was still smoldering.

''Well, you have no choice but to obey the Chancellor while you are at the Academy.
That said, though, sir.
What does it matter what Felli is doing?

　Change the subject for a change.

'I engaged one of the bandits.
Oh, so that's why they had him.
Yes....

　You will find that even Felinella was fed up with the way she scratched her cheeks and smiled bitterly. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　In reality, I just wanted to talk to Ars.

　It's a good thing that the people around me are focused on the two of us.

　Ars begins to walk away, concerned about the possibility of another unwanted fire smoldering somewhere.
　It is only in the middle of the conversation that Felinella continues to walk next to him.

'At the rate you're going, it doesn't look like you're going to be hurt.
........yes!

　For some reason, Felinella replies with an enraptured expression of ecstasy.
　Ars's words are an assessment of his abilities, not a worry (...).
　Still, the discrepancy in interpretation does not make them unhappy.

''Did the bandit use magic?''
'Yes I didn't expect it to work this way.
"..........!　You knew.

　I scrutinize Felinella walking beside me.
　Felinella was startled by that sharp gaze.......................and a face that said no way.
　Immediately after, Ars, who had anticipated the change in expression, instantly expanded his second vision. There didn't seem to be any signs of people around him as he walked out.

　Felinella, who sensed the minute changes agilely, paused for a beat before cutting out. It seems to be a pleasant whisper, although the distance between them is getting closer.

''Don't tell me you haven't heard from the Governor?
What?
..........

　While stunned, Felinella fumed with a bitter smile.

''That's right. I'm chewing on a piece of this case as well, and I'm taking care of the information gathering.
I didn't know that.

　I'll say it plainly, but I don't think it's drastic.
　It's a good thing that you've got to be able to choose the best person for the job. And even more so if the mission is as important as the one that comes around to Ars.

''Did Lord Vizerist come up with this?''

　Felinella's father was at one time Ars's immediate superior, but the unit itself was a special unit created for Ars on a temporary basis. The main job is espionage, and the information brought to Ars is basically from Viziest's unit.

I'm not sure. I asked for it at the risk of being unreasonable.

　I guess that's how he ended up joining the intelligence unit.

(How sweet you are to my daughter.)

　She swore at her boss, who was not here. Felinella watched visibly as her cheeks twitched slightly.

''Is there something inadequate........''
No, it's been well researched.

　

'So you said it moved,'
Yes, the bandits are Gudma's experiments.
Well what do you want?
I'm sorry. I don't know that much. I just don't think there's any point in this raid.

　I hold my finger up to my chin as if to say I don't have a point.

'Why?'
'Gudma should have succeeded in getting the elements acquired. He collects orphans and creates elemental mages and then sells them to the nobility and such.
I see.

　It is likely that orphans with good qualities will be adopted and supplied to the army.
　A child with excellent qualities from the beginning would have a better chance of becoming a high-ranking mage and the family name would be protected.

'If there are any, they're either still not perfect or they're still prone to researchers.

　He is so delusional that it could be called a nature to chase after the completion of the project.

'In any case, it will all be done in three days' time.
Yes, sir.
If there is any movement before then, will Feri come to let us know?

　He smiled and his stride narrowed.

'If it's Mr. Ars's request, I'll call my father on him.
No it's your call.

　I almost opened my mouth to remind myself that it doesn't matter either way. Because for some reason, I could see the chancellor's mouth behind me.
　I reflexively pandered to him, wondering if he was starting to have a hard time with the bewitching smile that shouldn't contain anything.


　It wasn't much of a distance, but I found myself already close to Ars's lab.

'What do you say we move a little closer?'
I appreciate the invitation but, you see, my father has invited me over afterwards.

　Felinella paragraphically drooped.

'This is the case, isn't it?'
Yeah, I think...

　The requirement being called for would be about the mission.
　But apart from that, you have something else to say, and your eyes drift to the side in hatred.

''Why now?''

　And he spat out a whisper of resentment at his father for specifying the time.

..........
"--!　No ... so, Mr. Ars, I'll leave you with that.
Oh, and give my regards to Lord Visayst.

　When I parted from Felinella in front of the research building, the time was sunny and the fake moon was beginning to appear from the other side instead.

　The room is empty. Loki must not have come back yet, since he's sent Alice, and Ars takes the test tube containing the bandit's blood and puts it on the testing machine.

　He heads to the kitchen to take a break from the tea. After all, he wasn't familiar with it, so he didn't know what was where.
　This compartment had already become Loki's territory.
　Loki's tea is definitely better than making it yourself. So when I turned around to do it when I came back, the pot was in the corner of the table with steam coming out of its mouth, as I had expected.

　When I opened the lid, a clear brown liquid rose with an aroma reminiscent of rich fruit.

　
　I don't think it's on the level of being clever when it gets to this point.
　Even with that thought, I end up pouring it into the cup. I thanked Loki for the drink, told him I was grateful (though I wouldn't say it out loud), and took a sip, which made me feel much better.

　The next time he took a sip, he felt much better.

　After a breather, the results of the blood that was being tested are transferred to the terminal on the desk.

　Holding the saucer and cup, he looked in slowly and cowered his shoulders at the fact that his prediction had been correct.

'Something like that, I suppose,'

　With the confirmation of his guess, Ars puts down his cup and scrolls through the vast body of magical information.
　The same information flows down to the newly opened screen as well.
　The two screens, newly opened, are Alice's magic power information.

　They take turns looking at each other, and when they reach the missing part, they stop the screen and compare them.

　The bandit is an elemental, an acquired one.
　The information body has traces of obliteration that break up the original magic factor.
　To put it bluntly, it's like overwriting the information on top of the existing magic power information to acquire the elements.

　Even from Ars's point of view, it is questionable whether the elemental light system magic can really be used with something like this.
　This kind of thing cannot be called an achievement. Not only the elements, but also the magic itself would become unusable.

　However, the bandits were properly using light system magic. That's the only thing that can't be resolved.
　With the information obtained from blood, that's what it would be like, Ars looks for the item he is most concerned about.

　He has already found Alice's magic power basic word.

　The information on the basic word, magic power, gets denser with experience, so the information keeps changing. The combination of them varies in a thousand ways. It's an astronomical number.
　Nothing is ever the same. Still, some things are inherited. The reason why a parent's lineage tends to be reflected in their children is because there are parts of their DNA that never change, even in their lifetime.
　At birth, the parental lineage is reflected in the child. From that point on, it's acquired and influenced by experience until it becomes established.

　Hundreds of hundreds of thousands of letters, lost spellings of symbols, and a string of symbols that cannot be called a sentence.

　This is the basic word that is applied to individual authentication with magic, such as door locks.

　The prevailing theory is that the element of congenital acquisition is a factor in this basic word.
　However, the law has not been able to be determined. One theory is that it is not a law, but rather some kind of chemical reaction at the genetic level, but even this has not been proven with certainty.

　Where this basic word lies in the magic information also varies from person to person. That's why I have no choice but to scroll through the screen like this.

''.........!　This is it!

　I stopped moving and touched the screen and followed the enumeration with my eyes.
