Chapter 324: Magic Seven

After the giant squid was defeated, a few other creatures came to investigate, perhaps smelling the blood in the water. Unfortunately for them, they were small fry, and it seemed that when they detected our presence, they made a hasty retreat.

You know… I've always wondered if other monsters have any instinct to not mess with me, although considering my disguises, I might be messing with them.

As for the monster squid, I...

B2 - Chapter 61 - Busy Prep

The mini dungeon gauntlet test was scheduled for the end of the week, so the students didn't have much time left to prepare.

Lotte had suggested using alchemy, only to realize that it wasn't really an option for her at her current skill level. A remedy or something like that wouldn't help her in a test that she likely wouldn't even get hurt participating in. At best, she could mix her blood into something to make a poisonous concoctio...

Chapter 323 : Deepstone

The trip to the gathering spot was intriguing because our final location was completely unrecognizable from the surface alone. I really wondered how they'd even found the area in the first place and could only assume they had some skill like [Mineral Sense] or better.

Unless they interrogated brinelings, but that still doesn't feel like it.

The way they found the right spot, however, was with an enchanted map linked to a co...

B2 - Chapter 60 - Meet-and-Greet

When Lily and Lotte arrived at the Maranix building, they quickly noticed the abundance of students this time, as if it had suddenly become a prime hangout spot. The meeting was supposed to be for first-year students only, according to Lotte, so it came as a surprise to them.

Waiting outside for them to arrive was Thomas, who looked relieved when he spotted the two of them.

"I was worried you weren't going to make it," Thom...

Chapter 322: Magmatic

<Proficiency gained. [Magma Magic LV 1] improved to [Magma Magic LV 2].>

<[Magma Magic LV 2] spell [Erupt] learned.>

As expected, it didn't take me too long to reach level two in [Magma Magic], and I was rewarded with a new spell for my troubles. Despite its impressive-sounding name, the spell didn't quite live up to the same expectations.

What [Erupt] did was cause a targeted segmen...

B2 - Chapter 59 - Sleepy Consequences

Lotte was slightly concerned as Lily hadn't shown up for breakfast this morning. They'd met up every single day since becoming friends, and she knew that the bunny stuck to a routine like clockwork. Yet no matter how long she waited, there was no sign of her friend.

Did she decide to sleep in? Or did she get absorbed in her practice? Lotte wondered to herself. Or maybe her sister decided to take her somewhere? View Post

Chapter 321: Deconstructing

After narrowly avoiding a self-inflicted catastrophe, I took a moment to calm down. I wanted to examine my skills to identify any I wouldn't necessarily miss for experimentation, while also trying to pinpoint those that might further my development.

[Wind Step] and [Thunder Step] were probably close to the chopping block, as I hardly used them after getting [Blink], and pulling them apart might lead me to discovering some crucial comp...

B2 - Chapter 58 - Old Pages

Lily silently paged through the uncovered notes, trying to see if she could make any sense of them without Arakil's help. He must have known her intentions because he didn't disturb her during the process.

Lily found the ancient language fascinating, although she knew she had no real hope of learning it on her own. She wasn't a linguist, and other than her momentary curiosity, she didn't have a deep desire to understand it.

Chapter 320: Patrolling

When I returned to the inn after my day, I wanted to tell Vee all about my discoveries. Unfortunately, any attempts to mention [Skill Deconstruct] were met with censorship, and not even telepathic communication was enough to bypass it.

In the end, I settled for just telling her that I'd received an update to my quest and that I was giving her [Blink] spell my undivided attention.

Vee was excited and told me about her own day, which ...

B2 - Chapter 57 - Curing

Professor Sylwel didn't hold them for much longer; he just gave a brief mention of what he planned for the next few weeks and whether anyone would struggle to observe and provide assistance.

The vast majority involved ingredient preparation and handling, so everyone present was more than capable of giving a guiding hand. When he finally dismissed them, Lotte quickly told Lily she was going to hang back and ask some more personal question...

Chapter 319: Fish Watching

While Vee was out exploring again, I was doing my new duties as Sylvain. I'd been given a tiny boat, effectively a rowboat in my eyes, and instructed to patrol the shallows.

At first, I was somewhat insulted, until I discovered that the boat wasn't as simple as it appeared to be. Not only did it have small sails that could be folded away into the mast through some clever usage of storage enchantments, but it also had a magical anchor s...

September News/Update/Stuff

Hi all, I wanted to provide an update on what's been happening and also give a heads-up for this weekend.

First off, this weekend is my birthday (yay?), and I'll be spending it with friends and family, so unfortunately, there will be no Syl on Friday (3rd) or Bunny on Saturday (4th).

Which also brings up a broader subject I need to approach... I might need to take breaks on more occasions. I've had Selkie (Mango Media/Beneath the Dragon Eye Moons) and a few others warning me about...

Lily, Lotte, and the other three students stood around awkwardly waiting for Professor Sylwel to finish what he was doing. He was writing something down while occasionally glancing at the door as the last few students slowly milled out.

"Seems this class has yielded the largest batch so far, and judging by the low signups for tomorrow's, I don't think that will change," Sylwel said as he looked over the group. "Depending on how the ...

Chapter 318: A Different Perspective

Vee continued blinking around, trying to find her next destination. She did have the [Mapping] skill thanks to Syl effectively passing it over for free through [Companion Training], but it wasn't really enough to help her just yet.

You'd think with all the teleporting over the world, I'd have gained so many levels, but mine hasn't even connected the undiscovered locations yet!

Vee wasn't sure whether to feel gr...

When Professor Sylwel finished his demonstration and instructions, he instructed the class to begin grinding up their ingredients. Now he was watching as the students worked, while also paying attention to the ones who had offered to be assistants.

He walked around the classroom, and when he spotted a mistake, he quickly corrected it. When none of the fresh students required his immediate attention, he focused more on the assistants....

Chapter 317 : Island Search

While Syl was stuck doing grunt work, Vee wanted to use this opportunity to stretch her legs. Ever since her latest class upgrade, it had felt like the world had opened up to her, far more than she had realized.

[Veil Step] seemed to cost Vee almost nothing when used more casually; translated practically, that meant as long as she wasn't rushing the movement, she could do it for free.

Vee's mind almost wanted to immediately clas...

After lunch, Lily and Lotte began eagerly heading towards the alchemy class. From the directions they had received, it was actually in the basement, which was a surprise to both of them, as they had assumed nothing but the dungeon was below the first floor.

As they began descending the stairs, they discovered the reason: the alchemy lab was not only the size of multiple classrooms combined but also appeared to be reinforced en...

The docks were jam-packed with workers carrying shipments back and forth. A large portion was dedicated to the fishermen, who came with all sorts of aquatic goodies from the bountiful ocean. The rest appeared to be various imports that couldn't be acquired here and judging by my quick perusal it seemed to be mostly textiles.

It didn't take me long to find my destination and locate the dockmaster I was supposed to report to. Judging by how over...

The next day brought out another lesson of PMC with Professor Elius putting them through a brief set of drills. The dreaded bees had a new, larger, and green brethren added to their ranks, which could only be removed with an attack spell.

For some students, this proved worse than the blue or red ones, as they quickly ran out of steam midway through the drills and needed to spend considerable time replenishing their Mana.

Chapter 315: Mermen Rumors

Our first order of business the next day was to do some more sightseeing of what Saltport had to offer. With Vee perched on my hat and hopefully under its bizarre obfuscation, we could explore to our hearts' content.

Since I was Vee's legs, I allowed her to guide us, which meant we spent a lot of time around food stalls. Naturally, spending so much money suddenly would be against Sylvain's cheapskate nature, so I tried to hide it by re...

The lesson then quite literally became nothing but chores. The students were instructed to disperse themselves around the room and clean to the best of their abilities. The only rule was that they had to do it with magic, and the only exception Melina allowed would be to physically move buckets to better positions around the room.

At first, every student wanted to do nothing but use telekinesis, as it was brand new...

When we left the Adventurer's Guild, I thought everything had gone swimmingly, but Vee was not impressed.

The class entered a room that Lily immediately recognized as an atelier. It had some cauldrons, workbenches, bookcases stacked with books, glass cabinets with tools, and shelves stocked with a wide variety of ingredients. Yet despite the wonders and thrills of the room, it was a bleak and dreary atmosphere that looked as if it had been abandoned.

Melina clapped her hands, and the room lit up, revealing the absolute state of this p...

Despite avoiding spitting out her tea, Lily was visibly uncomfortable by what Arakil had just said. It had come out of nowhere, leaving her completely at a loss for how to react. Her discomfort must have been noticed by the others, as Professor Melina even turned to her.

"Is something the matter, dear?" she asked.

Lily carefully placed the cup down, despite her mind racing. "Um… may I use the bathroom?" she managed to blurt out.<...

"Thank you, I'm glad to have finally arrived at civilization!" I replied jovially.

My idea for Sylvain was to have him be a more refined version of Kurt. He would have a wanderlust for exploration and adventure without any of the cockiness. Not necessarily wanting to make a big name for himself, but definitely wanting to earn the riches that came from it.

The other students and even the professor had been quite vocal in their congratulations on her progress. Comments had flown around about a "new ...

We spent the next few days slowly heading up the coast towards whatever the marker was on the crude map. I kept checking on Vee and her quest to see if there was any update, but no further exclamation marks were added to the "urgent," so we assumed that Unc just wanted us to continue heading towards it.

While there was some underlying humor in his constantly updating it with excessive punctuation, I couldn't help but feel ...

1 day delay this week

Hey all, sorry for this coming out of nowhere but I don't think I'll manage to finish tomorrow's Syl chapter in time.

I haven't been in a great headspace lately and some thing came up where I missed my usual writing window.

I don't want to break my personal streak, so the chapters this week will just get +1 day added to them. So Syl Thursday, Bunny Friday, Syl Saturday, Bunny Sunday.

I'm terribly sorry.

They were currently at dinner and discussing their day. Lily had already spoken about her first class, expressing excitement, mainly since it focused on "professional" glyphs, which meant they needed to be near perfect.

Lily had even shown off her supplies briefly, and even Lotte flinched at the si...
