NOVEL NEXT C57
C57: New Teacher Mr. Kronos (8)
“Hmm?”
Kronos put his hand on the magic circle and tried to pour magic power into it. However, there was no change in the magic circle. Like water poured into a glass with a hole in it, the magic power spills out into the floor below.
“No working……which means ‘dig here’ is the key.”
I don’t think he means to remove the board and dig underneath – or anything like that. Kronos places his hand on top of the magic circle and activates the magic.
“Second rank magic [digging].”
“Oh my God! What is this?”
When Kronos activated his magic, the magic circle emitted a blue-white light. As expected, the magic circle, which had been set to activate in response to a specific magic, reacted to Kronos’ magic. The next moment, Kronos and Emma were standing in an unfamiliar cave, enveloped by the blue-white light.
“What’s going on?”
“It seems to be a transference spell, we’ve been transported to some cave……or dungeon.”
“Oh no…….How can we get out?”
The road spread out to the left and right. Which direction is the right one to go?
“No, it’s easy. The correct answer is right.”
Looking at the wall of the dungeon, I saw a sign in Japanese that read, “Proceed in the direction of the chopsticks.” There is no possibility that the words themselves are a trap, but if they are trying to trap us, there is no reason to write them in Japanese, which no one in this world can read.
“Don’t worry. This is probably a man-made dungeon created by the founder of this school. If you follow the instructions, you should be able to get out.”
“You can read this ancient script?“
She seems to have misunderstood something, but there is no point in bothering to tell her the truth. Kronos started to walk through the dungeon with Emma.
“There seems to be a trap, so please don’t act carelessly.”
“I understand. I’ll act cautiously!”
As she said this, Emma pressed a red button on the wall. There was a small click, and some kind of device was activated on the other side of the wall.
“……Dr. Emma. Why did you press that button?”
“Well, um………………somehow?”
The floor opened up from side to side. Kronos and Emma were sucked into the pit.
“Aaahhhh!”
“What are you doing?”
It was a good thing I mastered flight magic. That day, Kronos was once again thankful for his cheat ability.
