"You took part in the Raid in that dungeon Wein?" Said Liam who was throwing the ball up and it fell back in his hands while lying on the bed.
I had just finished getting ready for bed, and I started to throw my body onto the bed. "Isn't it cool, just one day I was able to do the Raid." I said arrogantly.
"You bastard, by the way I heard a rumor that the dwarven city was attacked, and the scientists are targeting it now." Liam said.
He usually only talks about girls, but why is he now starting to talk about something that looks like a battle.
I heard that rumor from my older sister, along with the rumor that humans can become monsters, but there is a rumor that is already well known, namely that the academy is having intruders.
"I heard that, my friend was talking about that, that's why Professor Albert wasn't there today, because he was after that strange big rock he said." I said.
"I think you know more about Wein, I didn't even know it was a big rock."
It was strange, because a meteor that was famous for being in outer space suddenly appeared to curve towards Britonia from the northwest, and hit the Dwarven territory.
If I'm not mistaken, it also spread to the Naga area, where many saw Wyverns flying around the big mountain Jorgnur this afternoon.
Because the meteor fell just this morning, and many human eyewitnesses said it also fell in Dragon territory, making Wyverns and other large Dragons come out of their habitat.
However, there is no clear information as to whether there was illegal hunting or whether a meteor fell in the zone of the great dragons.
"Wine? are you asleep? I heard that there are many students who disappeared too." I was a little lost in thought earlier, so I didn't pay much attention to Liam's words.
But he continued with several rumors. "The rumor is true, it is said that the student disappeared and came back but his memory did not return." I answered.
"Is it true? why would anyone want to do that huh?" Liam asked, he looked a little scared this time.
"It really happened, and there have been three victims, two of them still have some memory but one of them has completely lost his memory." I say, that's a terrible right.
Students disappearing and returning with lost memories is not an accident, there must be a mastermind behind this, that's why many think the Academy is being sabotaged.
But erasing it is a difficult thing isn't it — I don't think he removes someone's memory, but rather takes it, but who?
"How are the victims now?" Liam asked, he was still throwing the ball in the dark, because I had turned off the bedroom lights.
"From what I heard, they said they were sent home to their families."
"But there was no investigation?"
"Well that's what's strange, I heard from Alain, that the Lordmurt family forbade the academy to investigate, even forbidding the police or Gladius, because it was the strongest shareholder, so the Academy just kept quiet."
It's clear, but it's strange why the Lordmurt family is covering this up? as if this family was hiding something bad at school, and also he almost replaced me in that Raid.
"Grrrrhkk... Hrkkk... Gkk. hhhhhh." The loud snoring was like an old saw trying to cut a very thick and strong piece of wood.
Damn he's already asleep, I thought he was still throwing the ball earlier, then I can sleep now, but for some reason I'm still thinking about the appearance of a giant eagle on top of Mount Jorgnur.
But that's not what I should have thought, because tomorrow is a Raid which will definitely be tiring, I have to get enough sleep so I can come tomorrow morning in perfect physical and mental condition.
****/ In front of the Dungeon Gate
"What are we waiting for? come on in now." Tiffanie said with passion burning in her heart.
Then Professor Kathrine appeared and said that there was something we were waiting for, "We were waiting for Rucas, but he hasn't arrived for almost thirty minutes." Everyone was shocked when they heard Rucas' name, even the Prince tried to ask Professor Kathrine again.
I already knew that Rucas was going to come, but they didn't know that Rucas was also taking part in this Raid, if that was the case I would also feel annoyed.
He had been given the opportunity but it was too late, many people were annoyed waiting for him, even Janice, who had been smiling, now looked very gloomy.
"Why should we wait for him? hasn't he already been eliminated?" Tiffanie said, but I looked at Professor Kathrine, I could feel her face which looked annoyed but was covering it up.
I know how he feels, because Rucas didn't enter the standard, he also joined because of the Academy Head's coercion, that's why Professor Kathrine couldn't answer that question.
Alain, who had been complaining, was also starting to get annoyed, but Loraine was still calm as usual, she looked like snow that didn't melt under the hot sun.
"I'm annoyed with him this time." Said Tiffanie who had been babbling there, she seemed to be standing in front of the gate, and was preparing to enter with one step.
"Why weren't we informed? Isn't it a rule that only those who successfully pass the test take part in the Raid this time?" Alain said impudently, I didn't expect him to be so annoyed this time.
However, Professor Kathrine was just silent and held everything to herself, she did not answer a single word from those who were nagging and fighting.
Professor Kathrine was very depressed in this situation, in her input Rucas was not her choice and decision, because this was coercion from the Head of the academy, but because the Head of the academy asked her to be uncomfortable enough to refuse.
I don't know what was going through Rucas' mind, he had been given the opportunity, but he did harm and instead thought it was a small thing, many people hated him, and now hate him even more.
I don't know what his goal is, but Kylo Sharks is more obedient compared to that Rucas delinquent.
"Craak!! — Craak!!" The voice of that very dark mystical bird, with its black feathers that sometimes reflect purple and blue light, is the introductory crow.
He carried the paper on the mountain in his claws, and flew towards Professor Kathrine, he was also wearing a necklace that looked like the Headmaster Claudia's necklace.
All of them who had gathered and were annoyed were starting to get curious, a group of fifteen people except me and Loraine gathered together and approached Professor Kathrine, they looked very curious this time.
Then Professor Kathrine took and opened the paper hastily, a few seconds after reading it, she let out fire from her hand, causing the paper she was holding to catch fire.
Those who were very curious were shocked, seeing Professor Kathrine who looked annoyed and now starting to feel relieved, I don't know the contents of the paper, but I think it was about Rucas' presence.
"Rucas won't be taking part in the Raid this time, prepare your weapons and immediately enter the Dungeon." Professor Kathrine said happily.
Tiffanie, who was not far from the Gate, started jumping in, followed by Loraine as the leader and the others who entered the room.
I was the last person to enter, followed by Professor Kathrine who was the last, but Professor Kathrine felt something was strange, I also felt why did the mana energy here seem to explode?
Several others also felt this, then Professor Kathrine tried to return to the exit from the Dungeon through the same Gate.
The circle with lightning flashes was dark red, each Dungeon had a different gate color, but this time it emitted flashes of lightning and some mysterious smoke.
Professor was curious and tried to touch it, and tried to take his hand out, but "Trrrzz!!" His hand was grabbed, he pulled it back and backed away from there.
His face was very shocked, I could see fear covering his face, but because he was the Professor here he tried to strengthen himself and control himself.
I can see it, I don't think this is an ordinary gate, but why can the Gladiuses return safely? Hasn't this Dungeon been checked by the Gladiuses?
The others were waiting for instructions from Professor Kathrine, Tiffanie who looked excited also became a little gloomy.
Even Alain's Leopard roared towards the dark side of the Dungeon for no apparent reason, as if something we couldn't see was stalking us.
"This..." exclaimed Professor Kathrine while shaking "This is the Abyssal Gate." He said fearfully, his legs were shaking and his face looked pale.
"ABYSSAL GATE???"
