I wanted to catch all the black people, return all the big gold coins, and go home happily, but the wholesaler wouldn't let me.
I was taken to the garrison barracks by Jin Niu to inquire about the situation. Starting from the reasons why I entered and exited the school, they asked me in detail about my participation in today's turmoil.
Finally, he talked about killing the bronze wolf, using natural magic to create a magic circle, and activating imprinting magic. However, the source of the attack was another requirement, and he refused to reveal it because it was a matter of concern.
"Then the student who was pushed off the balcony was safe. Is it because of classmate Hua Wuming?"
"Yes"
"While I was trapped in the conference room, I felt a female student being pushed from the third-floor balcony and a layer of air was created to catch her."
"It's a little different from the air layer, but that's pretty much it."
"Immediately afterwards, a man in black fired a magic gun. However, was it your magic that blocked the fire attribute magic?"
"Yes, it's a wall of hardened air, but it seems to be highly resistant to magical attacks."
"Haha, interesting. If I make a request to the guild, can it be verified?"
"If you want to verify the durability of the shield, I haven't been able to verify its strength myself, so I'll be happy to help you."
If it is verified that the solidified Qi disk of natural attributes has high resistance to magic attacks, then the bad image of "empty" natural attribute magic may be wiped away.
"The main culprit who caught up with, stopped, and kicked away Hua Wuming was not Hua Wuming, so I was brazenly robbed of five hundred gold coins. Thank you very much."
“This time, I was lucky because the conditions were in my favour.
"I will report to the guild and give you a reward."
"Thank you."
"What?"
"Will I be hated by the underworld because of this incident?"
The investigation has only just begun, but the Man in Black appears to be a member of a favela-based group.
It seems that he robbed the carriages of merchants going in and out of the school and entered the school by disguising the goods.
The plan had been in the works for nearly a year before the vulnerability was finally discovered, and it appears that the groundwork for its implementation had been carefully advanced.
For this project, it appears that someone was infiltrated by vendors who were in and out of the school.
Because I was there, 60 people were captured alive, their identities were checked, and their statements were even taken.
But the big gold coins that should have been there are gone. The people who rule the slums must be angry.
"Yeah. I can't say that it didn't happen, but Hua Wuming happened to do what he should do during the riot, and first of all, taking hostages and stealing money is illegal. Because he was caught, tell It’s wrong for me to hold grudges.”
"Yeah, but I feel like I can't just be satisfied with things being right or wrong."
"I think it's okay. From their point of view, although they carefully planned so many people, they were stopped by you alone. A person who is more troublesome than our garrison, I believe they can understand." If you don't think about it, If you start a fight, what will happen? "
"I hope so..."
For some reason, I feel like I've been holding a grudge since I came to Ichiro, but I also feel like it's different from my destiny as an adventurer.
"My goal is to live a carefree life as an adventurer, but I feel like I'm going in a different direction."
"By the way, Hua Wuming, there seems to be a big explosion in the slums. Is it you?"
"Ah, I heard terrible news. Sure enough, I can't launch an attack from here to the slums."
"That's true. And then they probably tried to destroy the evidence."
"It's actually my fault, but because the school is far away from the slums, Taurus seems to understand even if I simply deny it."
When we finished all the interviews, it was already dark, but Professor Mendez was already waiting for us at the gate of the garrison camp.
"No, thank you for your efforts, Hua Wuming."
"Yes, I'm really tired today. This is the first time I've used detection magic in such a large range in such a long time."
"Thanks to Hua Wuming, no one was injured. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"No, it's great to be able to help."
"Sorry, would you like to invite me to the school cafeteria for a meal?"
"Yes, very happy"
"Actually, I'm so hungry that I'm about to collapse."
"I had fish for lunch and I wanted to eat a lot of meat."
On the way to the cafeteria, I asked Mr. Mendez how the students were doing.
"Are the students okay? Are those who were surrounded a little shocked?"
"Yeah, no one was injured, but a few people got sick because of the heavy mental load."
"I see, it would be nice if I didn't procrastinate."
"It turns out no one was injured and it should take time to recover."
It was dinner time and the cafeteria was crowded with students.
Some students may have fallen asleep, but with so many students walking to eat, it should be fine.
For dinner I chose the toasted black oak recommended by Dr. Mendez.
Thinking it might be the black oak tree we killed, I took the tray and went to the staff table, but the students who were eating stopped, stood up, and suddenly started applauding.
"Nia, what?"
"Everyone appreciates Hua Wuming."
"Is that so? No, no thank you."
I didn't know how to react, so I put the tray on the table and lowered my head as a student came quickly toward me.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Hua Wuming. You saved my life."
"Are you okay? Claudie"
"The moment I was pushed down, I thought everything was over, but I was able to catch it gently and fall to the ground like nothing happened. I thought the goddess saved me."
"I'm glad to have received it safely, as I've decided to deploy magic only with detection magic."
"Did you really save me when we were in the conference room?"
"I hope I can save him before he gets pushed over"
"I can't help it. Thanks to Mr. Hua Wuming, I can say this. Thank you so much."
"I just did what I could do."
In a previous life, when I was a nerd, I fantasized about being able to save the life of a beautiful girl in style, but when I actually tried and was able to express my gratitude, I felt so embarrassed.
I feel more comfortable being treated normally than being stared at by girls of my generation.
I suddenly turned my gaze to Olivier, but for some reason he puffed up his cheeks and showed a dissatisfied expression.
"Then he probably thinks he can't keep my skin to himself."
"Unfortunately, we already have strong opponents such as Layla and Schuler, but it seems better to remain silent for now."
I calmed down Claudius, who seemed to be hugging me at all times, and finally got the black oak barbecue.
"Umya! What is this soft, rich fat, Umya!"
"Oh, this black oak is so delicious, even more delicious than the ordinary ones."
"A group of us also killed a black orc, but it has been about two weeks, so it must be another black orc."
"No, it's not. The orcs brought into the guild are broken up and sold as meat. After the auction and maturation period, we can eat them. This may be the black orc that Hua Wuming killed."
"It tastes better if you think about it that way."
As I indulged in the toasted black oak, Professor Lembert appeared and asked about the magic used to solve the case.
Most of the magic this time was pure natural magic, but the water torture used to drive away the man in black trapped in the underground passage used engraving magic.
However, when I told him that for people with water attributes, using air-attribute magic circles can more effectively utilize the magic elements in the air than using water-attribute magic. Teacher Lundborg snapped at me.
He explained that unlike ordinary magic circles, it is not only the size of the magic circle that changes, but also the compression rate of the air and the thickness of the magic circle, which changes the pure power and endurance.
"How many water magic circles did you set up in the passage?"
"Yeah, about forty in total."
"40! If you create so many magic circles, will the magic be exhausted?"
"Since the air contains the magic power that activates the magic circle, the possibility of running out of my magic power is very low."
"I see, Hua Wuming's magic will be used until it solidifies into the shape of the magic array, and then it will be activated by the magic essence contained in the magic array itself, so Hua Wuming will not consume any magic." Interesting, really interesting. "
While I was engrossed in the conversation, Professor Lembert leaned forward on the table.
Professor Mendez watched this scene from the side and smiled bitterly.
"Teacher Rembolt, can you activate the sealing magic just by digging the magic stone into a magic circle?"
"Yes, it will. However, once it is activated, it cannot be stopped unless the magic power is exhausted, so it is not very practical."
"Well, how about making the missing part first, then using another piece of magic stone to make that part, and then put it in?"
"Oh, in that case, I guess I can stop the start midway. No, Hua Wuming, you are really thinking about something interesting. Yes, this is interesting."
We were all excited about the magic circle afterwards, so it was a little late when we returned to the base.
