Magic and skills[2]

At 5:00 the next day, Shizue came out of her room and was reading another history book in the library. As she was reading, the Grandmaster opened the door and said,"Good morning!"

"It's only 5:00 in the morning."Shizue closed her book,looked at the Grandmaster and said.

"Didn't I told you not to lock yourself in the library?"

"I only came here."

"But you were in your room reading a book, weren't you?"

"Were you peeking?" Shizue, who had been sitting down, stood up, approached the Grandmaster, and looked at him with fearful eyes because Shizue was not the only one reading a book. Sora was there.

"Hey, hey. I'm not that kind of person. I only said that because I thought you were doing things like that."

Hearing that, Shizue sighed a little and said,"There must be a reason for it you to come here."

"I came here to let you know that Hiru-kun and Miko-kun are going."

Hearing that, Shizue was a little confused.

'Sora, wasn't it 6:00?'

'they must have changed...I should have stayed there a little longer. Please forgive me.'

'...'

''What's wrong? Aren't you going?" The Grandmaster said because shizue wasn't taking or moving.

"'Yes, I'm going." Shizue said and left the library. The Grandmaster just watched Shizue leave. Then he went near where Shizue was sitting reading a book. There he found two books. They were the second volume of The Book of Illusion and The Book of History.

Looking at those books, the Grand Master thought,"oh....she has noticed it. But then the question is...can she cast two things at once?"

Later, when Shizue arrived at the main hall, she found a half-awake Hiru, an energetic Miko, and the usual Roxy. Yuri was not there. Kids shouldn't wake up early so...and also It's not good for their health!

"Who decided when to train?" Shizue came near them and said.

"It wasn't me, it was Miko."Hiru said, who was sleep-deprived.

"You are just lazy!" Miko looked at Hiru and said, Is this the difference between mp? Probably not.

"Ru-chan, Miko is right."

"Are you two working together?"

"No, I'm saying what I think."

"... Right. You're not teaming up with anyone."

"Shizue-sama, you can rest if you want." Roxy said, assuming Shizue was sleep-deprived.

"No, thanks. I am ok."

"Understood."

Later,Hiru and Miko then began training in a plain surface, undisturbed. Roxy led them, while Shizue sat in a nearby tree. But then someone tapped Shizue on the shoulder from behind.

"..."

Shizue silently looked behind her and saw the grandmaster.

"Hello."the Grandmaster said.

"Why are you here? And also is it necessary to pat me on the shoulder?"

"Oh, come on, I just came to see."

"To see what?" Shizue said.then the Grand Master went ahead of Shizue. Then he saw hiru and Miko breaking the puppets using their skills.

"I want to see them go from rookies to pros. But I don't know what to do after the vacations."

"You work in olive, right?...there must be a way for us to stay there."

"Don't worry, I'll find a way."

"Do you think I was worried?"

"No, ha ha!"

"Seriously..."

And as they were talking, or the Grand Master was laughing, Roxy noticed them and went near them.

"'Sertendo-sama. what might be the reason for you to be here?" Roxy asked.

"Nothing. I'm just hanging around, enjoying my vacation."

"If that's so...'"

3 weeks later...

Shizue was in her room as usual, looking out the window and drinking coffee. Her room was a bit ordinary. A bed by the window. A small bookshelf beside the bed and that's it.

"Shizue-sama, you have been called by sertendo-sama."Roxy, who was outside, said. Shizue after hearing that became unhappy but she has to go.

Later, after entering the grandmaster's office...

"So, why did you call me?"

"Now,now.It has been 3 weeks.hiru-kun and Miko-kun have became strong, right?"

"Are you going to examine them?"

"'yup.That's why you all are going to the dungeon."

"Why me?"

"Don't you want to go?"

"I'm asking you the reason."

"Umm..."

"Sigh...I'll accept, but tell me all the details about that dungeon."

"Okay!" The Grandmaster then told her all about that dungeon. Hearing that shizue agreed.

When them arrived at the place, two people were waiting for them. One was a girl about 20 years old, with blonde hair, emerald eyes, and a blue knight's outfit. The other was a man about 30 years old, with brown hair and brown eyes. He also wore a A+ rated armor and had a huge axe on his back.

"I am Rem and he is Gun."' The girl introduced herself and the man.

"'Gun? That's a name?" The name Gan. It was actually odd, so Shizue said without thinking anything.

'Yeah...Somehow." The girl or Rem replied.

"'I see...Well then, we'd better focus on our mission.this Duengon is a big one. Let's try to get it done as soon as possible." Shizue said.

"'Understood." Rem and Gan said. But after moving for a while, there were no monsters.

"I---" Miko was so tired that's why she was walking slowly but when she was about to say something they all fell into the hole. A trap?

Later, when hiru and Miko woke up, only Gun was there.

"'Are you two OK?" Gun said after seeing them being awake .

"Where are we? Where is Shizue and the other girl?" Hiru asked.

"When we fell in the trap there seems to be two different path. We fell in one path whereas the two of them fell in the other path."
