A huge slime appeared out of nowhere and turned the Green Academy, where many people had gathered to watch the tournament, into a screaming street.

　Moreover, the wizards who seem to have some experience in their craft are trying to repel it with their offensive magic, but it doesn't seem to be working at all on the slime.
　On the contrary, some of them were caught by the slime's outstretched tentacles and became prey.

''Quickly take shelter!''
Leave this to us and take refuge!

　At that time, there was a new group of people who rushed in.

''Oh, it's the Dean of the Red Academy!
''There's also the dean of the Blue Academy!
No, the deans are all coming towards us...!

　They were the deans of the magic academy who had gathered for the tournament.
　To be exact, though, except for the dean of the Black Academy.

　They were all [Highest Position] wizards.
　The people who knew this were convinced that they would be able to defeat that slime.

''Haha, the d*mn slime!　Don't interrupt the tournament!

　The first person to come to the scene was Redra-Ackermen, the Dean of the Red Academy.

''--Prominence!

　He delivered a tame blow - a top-grade red magic.

　Red lotus flames covered the huge body of the slime, and a scorching wind blew across the area.
　Despite being exposed to the scorching heat, the people who were on the run involuntarily stopped in their tracks and shouted oohs and ahhs as they cheered.

　The prominence was said to damage even dragons protected by scales that were highly heat-resistant.
　No matter how much resistance that slime had to magic, everyone was sure that as expected, there wouldn't be a single pause in this.

　But the next moment, for some reason, the flames suddenly disappeared and a slime appeared from inside as if nothing had happened.

''Wha...?　Well, you don't think that even the prominence is going to work...?

　A reasonably intelligent looking woman stands right beside Redra, who grunts in astonishment.

''It seems that this is where blue magic comes in, isn't it?

　It's Bruna-Aoline, the dean of the Blue Academy.
　She assembles the magic formula with a speed befitting the 《Witch King》.

''--Permafrost.

　Immediately afterwards, this time the huge body of slime froze.
　A fierce chill blew across the area and the area instantly became extremely cold.
　But.

'What?　The ice is melting...

　The slime was thawing at an unbelievable rate.
　Before they knew it, the giant slime had regained its viscosity and was shooting its tentacles at Redra and Bruna.

　They couldn't move in the face of the approaching slimy tentacles.

'Groundwall!'

　A thick wall that suddenly emerged from the ground prevented them from doing so.

''Hoho. That was a close call.

　The Dean of the Yellow Academy, Yelloa-Kilesi, was catching up with him.
　It was so fast that it was hard to believe he was eighty-five years old.

It's just like the White Magic of the Saint. It's as if you were 20 years old again.

　Apparently, he had been given a body enhancement spell.
　Right behind him was the head of that white academy, White-Alcyron.

　In addition, there was an elderly man coming down from the sky.
　It was the Dean of the Green Academy, Glynn-Elmidori.
　He had rushed here after issuing an evacuation order to his men.

　Furthermore, Ieroa created multiple walls around the slime behemoth.

''This is the rat in the sack,''
Tornado!

　While flying in the sky, Glynn unleashed a green magic at the slime that had been deprived of movement.
　Redra and Bruna also aimed at the inside of the wall and launched their attack magic.

''Wow....''
The deans are fighting with each other.

　The people who were running away involuntarily stopped and were fascinated by their fighting style.

''Haha, with this, that big slime won't even be a pile--''

　Someone was so sure of their victory that they were about to say so.

'Ha!　The walls....?

　Glynn was the first to notice it and shouted.

　The earthen barrier created by Yelloa was being melted from within at a terrific rate.
　The thinned wall was unable to withstand the slime's huge body and collapsed easily.

''.........Oh, hey, hey, seriously, you can't care about magic at all, can you?

　Bruna denied Redra's stunned words.

''No........it's not that that wasn't working.......''

　White takes over her thoughts, which have been slipping away from her buttocks due to her avoidance of the worst expectations.

'....absorbing magic?

　A shiver ran through the Hundred War College Deans.

　It is well known that slime has the ability to absorb substances.
　They absorb plants and animals into their bodies and use them as nourishment.
　But I've never heard of it absorbing magic.

　But the fact is that the slime in front of me was clearly getting bigger every time I attacked it with magic.
　Compared to the first time I saw it, it would now have swelled to twice its size.

　If our magic is not only ineffective, but also absorbs it and increases its power--

There's no way we're going to win in any way...

　Redra, the most belligerent of the five, unintentionally let out a weak word.

　After all, this is a magical city.
　All of them only know how to fight with magic.
　If they couldn't use it, they were completely out of control now.

''Whoa!''
What?

　The moment they showed an opening, the slime reached out its tentacles again.
　Five in all.
　It was aimed at all of the deans.

　Glynn quickly ducked it and escaped into the sky.
　Ieroa and White also avoided it easily, probably thanks to their enhanced physical abilities.

　But Redra and Bruna are caught.
　They are wrapped around my body and pulled.

'd*mn!　Get the f*ck off me!　Firelance!　Firelance!
Oh, Ice Edge!　Ice Edge!

　They unleashed their magic without restraint, but it was still as if it was ineffective.
　Glynn also tried to sever the tentacles with wind magic, but he couldn't even scratch them.

''Yah, stop it, whoa!
'No!

　When they screamed furiously in front of the fate that would follow them, that's when.

　BOOM!

　Glynn saw something snatch his side and swoop down at the slime.

　A person.
　And a sword in its hand.

''Arel!''

　Shortly after Glynn realized his true identity, the sword he swung at severed the slime's tentacles with unbelievable ease.
