118 – Natural

City Hall in Schwarzheim.

The opal black girls’ quarters there.

For the past three days, the students have been spending time inside the dorm without even going outside.

Actually, the words are accommodations, but in reality, everyone is staying together in an empty room in City Hall that has been left empty.

Originally, the academy reserved several accommodations for practice. However, the instructors decided that it was dangerous to scatter students in a chaotic city, and the only place that could accommodate 200 students was the City Hall building.

Of course, no matter how good the judgment was for the students, it was an environment in which students could not help but complain about putting only a moderate amount of blankets in a room without a bed and crowding them all in at once….

Unexpectedly, there was little backlash.

It was because most of the students who participated in this practice were from the Red Garnet class.

Sharing life in one room? A blanket sleeping bag without a bed? It is an environment that any commoner has experienced.

Diamond White students would have gone crazy by now, but for Red Garnets, this kind of environment is normal. Rather, life at the academy for the past two months has been ridiculously luxurious.

And speaking of the Opal Black class, which the Red Garnet instructors were most worried about, there are three top-level aristocrats – or royalty – who are nervous even in Diamond White….

“The inside is cleaner than I thought.”

“Sure! It looks like you are on a group trip.”

There was no resistance whatsoever.

In the first place, except for Elisabeth, Marian, and Schurz, the other students grew up in an environment far from luxurious life, and the other three students fully understood that this was an emergency.

And it was also largely due to the fact that we didn’t feel any objection to sharing a room together because we had grown close to each other thanks to the fact that we had been rolling under the bloodless and tearless instructor for the past few months.

“You dude, don’t come over here? And if you snore in your sleep, they will kill you.”

“That’s not going to happen. And if you’re snoring, batar is better-“

“Hmm? What did you just say?”

“No, nothing….”

At least that’s what the girls’ room was like.

Titania, who was crouching down on the blanket, murmured softly as if whining.

“Instructor, it’s late….”

It’s already been three days since Instructor Ion left the city to do reconnaissance.

The sun has already set outside the window. I was supposed to be back by today at the latest, but the promised time has already passed.

Thanks to this, everyone in the room could see that Instructor Lirya’s expression as he was patrolling the dormitory was unusual.

Gwyn said, hesitating cautiously.

“Umm, there is a saying that no news is good news….”

“No matter how much it is, it looks like that outside, so it’s okay to contact me! Maybe send a Zeegler!”

Saying this, Marian knows that it is difficult.

Even if you send a zeggler flying in the middle of an enemy line, you’ll be captured anyway. She just said it once in her frustrated heart.

Yes, it is frustrating.

You don’t know when the city will be attacked, and even though everyone is in danger, students can’t even leave the city hall.

She is the imperial princess, the granddaughter of the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, a disciple of a swordsman and an archmage, and a high elf in the great forest.

At the critical moment, students were just beings that needed to be protected.

Students with experience in carpentry or blacksmithing were able to go to help with the reinforcement work of the city according to their own will, and thanks to their position as Princess Elizabeth, they were busy as mayor’s assistants and are still having a busy day. The students who did not have this had no choice but to wait recklessly.

Suddenly Oznia opened her mouth.

“I need to do something.”

“Something… What are we going to do?”

“Anything you can do. We didn’t train for this, we.”

The female students in the room froze at the sharp words.

After Instructor Ion’s bombshell remarks, students have been focusing on training to improve their skills while doing what they can on their own.

That wasn’t something someone told me to do. It was something the students themselves did to help Instructor Ion in an emergency.

It’s not just to spend time meaninglessly confined to a room like this.

Marian said in a frustrated tone.

“So what? Shall we sneak out and find Instructor Ion?”

Of course, I meant that I couldn’t do that. Going out of the city full of undead with only students without any plan would be nothing but suicidal.

But Gwynn said with a tempting expression.

“We don’t have to go out, do we?”

“What do you mean?”

“Can’t we use Tanya’s spirit? It seemed very convenient.”

Titania was often seen conversing with invisible spirits.

Gwynn had seen Titania like that many times, so she suggested that a spirit like that would be able to roam unnoticed by others.

But Titania shook her head slightly.

“That’s not okay. I’m only asking the spirits, not giving orders… Spirits will not want to go to a place full of yin energy like that. And she heard that many demons attack spirits.”

Nature spirits tend to avoid places full of death energy. And even if they are sent by force, they will only become targets of attack by evil spirits who sense the presence of spirits.

Gwynn, who had no knowledge of spirits, nodded with a regretful expression.

“I see… Then there’s nothing I can do-“

“No. It’s worth a try.”

Oznia said.

“Exist. A spirit that is not attacked by evil spirits and wanders in a place full of yin energy.”

Titania replied in amazement.

“Maybe… Are you talking about the Dark Spirit?”

“Yes.”

There are spirits in everything in the world, and even a land occupied by the undead is no exception.

It’s just that there are no spirits in the natural world, and spirits that feed on yin energy or death energy usually gather in such lands.

Death Spirit, Destruction Spirit, Pain Spirit, etc… Spirits that deviate from the normal providence of nature are called ‘dark spirits’.

Titania’s expression was slightly frightened.

“Are you okay? Dark spirits are very difficult to deal with… Elementalists who use dark spirits are usually treated as warlocks. Am I not going to become an enemy of the continent?”

“Most of the people who handle the dark spirits are warlocks, and summoning the dark spirits itself is not particularly forbidden.”

“That, is it? Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

“Master knows how to use black magic, and I know it through knowledge. It’s okay as long as you don’t use it for bad things. I will help you.”

Oznia’s complexion darkened noticeably.

“Me, the thing like that happens again… no.”

It was her usual rambling tone, but her Oznia and her well-acquainted students understood what she meant.

She was telling us that she didn’t want the instructor to leave because of things that had nothing to do with us.

And that was true of everyone in this room. Didn’t Titania, Gwynn, and Marian try to do something because they didn’t want the instructor to leave like that?

Titania stood up with a determined expression.

“Okay. I’ll give it a try!”

After saying that, she immediately quietly closed her eyes and focused her consciousness.

She didn’t have to choose the right place. Schwarzheim is already full of yin energy to the extent that Titania’s spirits want to escape.

If you weren’t summoning the highest level of spirits, and you were at a level where you could only play the role of a messenger in moderation, this level of sound was enough.

In fact, even while preparing to summon the spirit, the two of them were still anxious.

Dark spirits are usually easily excited, very destructive, and erratic. It’s not called the Dark Spirit for nothing.

If you are an elemental lord with affinity enough to make a contract with a spirit like this, it is only natural that your will is severely twisted from the start. There is a reason why warlocks make contracts with dark spirits.

It is not known if Titania, who has a bright and splendid personality, will be able to summon the Dark Spirit immediately if she puts her mind to it. In this case, there are many cases where the spirit does not respond at all.

However, Oznia has always been by Titania’s side, observing how ridiculous her affinity with spirits is.

If she’s like that, maybe she can even summon her own spirit that doesn’t match her personality at all.

Oznia said in a slightly nervous tone.

“You just need to summon it. I’ll take care of it after that.”

A powerful spirit won’t be summoned in a place like this anyway, but even the lowest level dark spirit can attack humans for no reason as soon as it appears because of its eccentric nature. Or you could force the summoner into an unreasonable contract.

In that case, I was thinking of subduing the Oznia spirit by force and subduing it.

But Oznia, even Titania herself, overlooked it.

“Huh? Uh huh?”

“This is… no way… !”

A natural quality that the high elves of the Great Forest were born with and were loved by the spirits.
