The incident that occurred in the dungeon battle was not an accident.

　There are a few reasons for this.
　First, dungeons are sturdy.
　There is a difference between what is generally recognized as a dungeon and a mere cave.
　The rocks and soil in the former contain magical gems.
　It is said that the fine magical gems mix with the rocks and soil, creating hardness and halving the ability to interfere with magic.

　Hence, it's extremely difficult to break a dungeon....

　It is difficult to destroy them, unless it is intentional (I'd like to see them destroyed).

　The management of the Kowloon Cup seems to think that the demonic gems contained in the rock wall may have reacted with Iolada's [Heavy Iron Horseman] - especially its enormous magical power - and caused the explosion.

　It's not a comical way of thinking - it's not something that can be called comical.
　You have a point.
　That day, there were many schools, including mine, that made a series of great karma.
　It's because the best way to round up the demonic beasts attracted by [Provocation] was to annihilate them using advanced magic.

　Residual magic power and the magical gems within the walls.
　And Iolada's [Heavy Armored Iron Horseman] became the spark and exploded.
　It's not unthinkable.

　But I have one question.

　Then why did the [telekinesis] [telekinesis] expire first at that time?

　Telekinesis is the magic of the 【Scholars(Professor)】.
　It's a magic that allows you to see beyond the blocked vision.
　The 【Automatic writing】 image is merely a projection of another 【Scholars(Professor)】 reading that information.

　The [Telekinesis] user was, of course, in the open air.
　They were not caught in an explosion.
　And yet, [Telekinesis] was cut off.
　Moreover, it was before the explosion.

　The practitioner himself said that he suddenly lost his [telekinesis].

　The operation concluded that it was a natural phenomenon caused by magic power while rapidly expanding within the dungeon before the magic explosion occurred--magical interference (magic counter).

　Well.........

　This too has a point.
　It's not zero - to the extent that it is........

　But I still think it was done by someone else.
　That's the reason--.
　I guess it's just a hunch.
　It's all too good to be true.
　This accident.........

　As I thought about it, I headed to the scene of the accident.

　The clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

　Out-of-tune applause rang out.
　The source of the sound was a tall man standing in front of me.
　He was thin all over and moved sluggishly as if he had no joints.
　The man looks like an eel.

　I wish I was a little taller, but I don't want to have this kind of build.
　But he's got tight muscles.
　In terms of muscle mass alone, he could rival me.

　His name is Wolfot Midrash.
　He's a student in the fourth branch of the Saw Kingdom of Commerce.

"Excellent deduction, Mr. Racel. ''Excellent deduction, Racel-kun.

　Wolfot praised.
　He kept clapping.
　He showed his teeth and smiled.
　It felt more like a mockery than an admiration.

　Actually, this guy.
　I'd been wondering about him since the dungeon game.
　The Chapter 4 dungeon battle that took place before the main school.
　Under Fanbro's command, an annihilation tactic was taken using all of the time.

　The tactic worked well, defeating 90 demonic beasts.
　This is a record that follows us in Chapter 5.
　Among them, this Volfot's performance was remarkable--not necessarily.

　What I'm curious about is the crest on this guy's left shoulder.
　"Empty"--that is, jobless.
　In other words, this guy.........

"Huh?　That bothers you?　Lacelle. That's right. I'm just like you.

　My eyebrows twitched.

　Just like this guy.
　Just by being told that, for some reason, I felt like I was forced to drink a bad soup.
　It's not that I have a bad accent from the Sow Trading Country.
　It's not that I don't like it physiologically or that it discriminates against me because of my appearance.

　But there was hatred and disgust in every word Volfot said.

　Most of all--.

　It's very friendly to me, but Volfot never tried to hide the strong murderous intent that he wears.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.


　Let's be friends with each other [villagers]........


　I didn't respond to anything.
　I didn't have the slightest idea of trying to get along with him, and if I refused to dislike him, this man wouldn't be hurt a bit.
　I just decided to observe Volfot, I decided to observe him.

'You told me why I came to the scene of the accident.

Yeah. I just heard.

Then ask me why you're here.

It's easy.


　I'm here to destroy the evidence....


You..........

Don't look so scared. Don't worry about it. All the weapons I placed there are gone. I mean, there's no evidence I did it.

I'm listening to the testimony now.

You don't even know the difference between a truth and a joke.

　Kooky Kooky....

　Are you laughing?
　Or is it squealing (I want to know what it's doing)?
　I made an odd noise that I couldn't understand.

I'm not sure if he's laughing or squealing. It was a joke. I'm just kidding, because I'm sure you are.　A criminal can't just say 'I'm the criminal' out of the blue at the scene of the crime. That's why no one will believe him.

Some say that the killer will show up at the scene of the crime.

It's the same for you, isn't it?

　He lets out that strange laugh again.

Hey. I'm going to go. Get some sleep for tomorrow's general strike, yo.

"Volfot.... What do you want?

Of course it is. Destruction.....

Destruction?

The [Warrior], [Cleric], and [Wizard] are all.... Blacksmiths, Seekers, Professors - all of them. Put them all together and I will destroy them all.

　And......

Show them. This me - [villager] Wolfot Midrash.

　The place is ready for that.
　Chapter 4 is currently in fourth place.
　Above them, including Chapter 5, are all candidates for the championship.

"I'm going to run all the way to the championship. To victory. To stardom. To stardom, to stardom, to stardom...

　Kukuku.........

　A laugh sounds.
　It's not Volfot.
　It's me, Racel Singh Stark.

"Huh?　What's so funny?

''No..... For a guy who's done something so big, I just thought the purpose was so childish. I don't care about destruction or number one. The point is that you're aiming for the championship, right?　Then you missed one.

What?　Am I a failure?

'You should have gone after me, not Iolada. That way we could have won, all hands on deck tomorrow.

　It would still have been difficult, though.
　The dungeon wasn't announced where it would take place until just before, to prevent fraud.
　In addition, there was also a surveillance called [Telekinesis].
　The only time they would be able to make a move was when they were competing.
　They must have used the blind spot of [Telekinesis] to set a trap.

　We were in front of the fourth branch.
　That's why they couldn't set a trap for us.

"It sounds like you think you've already won, Racel-kun.

Yeah..... We'll win, even if it's 1v7.

'You (sic)........'

　Volfot's expression changed drastically.
　The smile is gone.
　All that remains is a pair of dim eyes.

''Kukku........ You finally have an expression that I like.''

　This guy.
　I'm sure he's planning something that wicked anyway.
　In other words, he's planning to incite all the schools except Branch 5.
　That's the scenario we're working on.

　But we're in the clear.

　It's just as we envisioned.

"You don't know this, but I was proclaiming victory over all the schools on the eve of the competition.

Winner-takes-all!

All of them are winners.


　It's something that can only be accomplished by winning all the schools.


　In other words, all perfect.
　The final day is a literal all-out competition in which all schools participate.
　Each school is given an object, and the school whose object is destroyed is eliminated.
　The school with the last object remaining is the winner.

　I crush all those objects.

　That was my scenario for all the winners.

'You..... Don't you dare to lick it.

'Either I'm licking it or I'm serious. You'll find out tomorrow if I'm serious. I'm looking forward to it, Volfot.

　Entertain me.

　And the next day, the final battle of destiny began.
