Chapter 122: Withdrawal from the School

---

In a white room,

"It finally...finished, huh?"

I felt significant fatigue and slumped down on the spot.

Ugh, I feel more tired than usual.

"Hmm, Kazu-kun's companions are always excellent, so I didn't have to worry about the small stuff after all." 

Keiko-san said with a wry smile.

What does that mean exactly...

Ah, I see.

"Tamaki and Mia were also quite close to breaking at first. Especially in battles against Elites."

Moreover, they wet themselves.

But I won't say it out loud.

If they were here, I might have blurted it out without thinking.

But now, neither Tamaki nor Mia is present.

Talking about this would be backbiting.

That wouldn't be good.

"But they quickly recovered, right?"

Well, that was true.

Both of them managed to bounce back somehow.

Tamaki had a bit of a hard time, though.

"As for Yukino-chan, she might be beyond help now..."

Ah, I don’t know about that.

For the record, I had ‘Clear Mind’ activated, but even so, it didn't work out.

Especially in battles like this one, where the enemy magician keeps attacking with powerful spells... it really takes a toll on you.

"Well, you won, so isn't that fine?"

Alice said hesitantly.

It sounded like something Tamaki would say, the words.

Even though I understand she's saying it with the best intentions, not wanting to speak ill of Yukino-san.

"No, no, Alice-chan. This is a reflection session to identify the reasons and learn from it for the next time."

"That being said, it's an issue that the students in the senior class are supposed to consider."

"That's true. Because Yuu-kun is too soft..."

Keiko-san tilted her head and placed her hand on her cheek, looking troubled.

Well, this person seems to be the type who undergoes hellish training or something, so it's hard to say anything about it. 

Like, 'If it doesn't hurt, you won’t learn,' is probably what they're thinking in their heart.

"By the way, did you notice? Another ogre unit descended to the northeast of the senior area."

I didn't notice. 

Because I was focused on the battlefield.

Upon asking for more details, it seems about ten ogre units had descended in the direction where Tamaki and Mia went.

There are multiple units being dispatched to various places from the floating fortress, it seems like they're observing closely while fighting.

"Yes, it’s been confirmed." 

Lucia nodded.

She had remained silent during the battle so as not to disturb my concentration.

"In terms of combat power, Mia and Tamaki should be fine. They might have an advantage over us since they focused on fire magic." 

Lucia's point might be valid.

I now truly understood the brilliant nature of Mia's skill choices.

In this battle, the small fry enemies had been around Level 6, the mages, we were not sure, but the captain should be below Level 20.

Combat-wise, it wasn’t so difficult to the point of benign recklessness.

Yet, just because Mia wasn't here, we had struggled that much...

"When the enemy has Resistance cast on all of them, whether you can attack with a different attribute is crucial."

Lucia, who found her direct attack magic less effective this time, shook her head.

"Still, I believe I should improve my fire magic this time."

Lucia's level had increased, and she now had 8 skill points.

Finally, she could raise her fire magic to Rank 8.

As for me, I also have 9 skill points. 

It meant I could finally reach rank 9 in summoning magic.

On the other hand, Alice has 7 skill points, but she seems to want to prioritize spear techniques over healing magic. 

But Rank 6 in healing magic has quite a few effective spells...

"If things continue like this, I’ll only be able to be on par with Kazu-san's familiar in terms of strength..."

It seems she's worried about being equal in combat power to my familiar. 

Though, Alice's exceptional combat sense was something difficult for a familiar to attain.

But even when she became disheartened, Alice looked cute.

"Don't bully her, okay?"

Keiko-san laughs.

Yes, yes, I know.

After discussing it, Alice decided to save her skill points for now. 

For the time being, she would aim to reach rank 8 in spear techniques.

Keiko-san was a temporary participant, and in the original party, there were three rear guards and only two vanguards.

During battles, if there was a need for a rank-up in healing magic, she would promptly take it without hesitation. 

It's all about being flexible and adaptable.

Kazuhisa: Level 30, Support Magic 5, Summon Magic 8 → 9, Skill Points 9 → 0

Alice: Level 25, Spear Techniques 7, Healing Magic 5, Skill Points 7

Lucia: Level 18, Fire Magic 7 → 8, Skill Points 8 → 0

With that decided, we left the white room.

Our battle had ended.

And so we returned to the original location.
