Chapter 310: Playing in the Water

I promptly ate the monster fish, although during which Vee kept calling them "Bruce" and "Flipper" while trying to give a repeat performance of the whole Wiggles debacle.

I can sort of understand the name Flipper, but why does she keep calling the other one Bruce? It makes zero sense!

Still, they were evidently monsters on the verge of evolution, and their ferocity in attacking my tendrils in defense was evident. ...

B2 - Chapter 47 - Rushed Glyphs

"That can't be true, Professor," the boy from earlier said. "I learnt a few glyphs from my dad, and they never needed to be perfect to work."

A few of the kids began nodding in agreement; all of them were demis, and Lily could assume that they had relatively strong bloodlines. If their strong blood and Mana were brute-forcing the glyphs to work, she could understand their attitude to her comment.

"Oh, have you enchanted any ...

Chapter 309 : Brine

"Okay, you're always jumping at any opportunity to go full worm. Why not now?" Vee demanded an explanation.

"Well, don't we want the element of surprise? We have no idea what's down there, and it could even be friends. This isn't like the kobold tunnels."

Vee groaned in frustration. "I hate when you're suddenly logical. I swear you do this on purpose."

I could only shrug in response. While I found her reaction delightfully hilario...

B2 - Chapter 46 - Elective Week

The weekend came to a close, and soon the next week of classes began. During dinner the night before and repeated in the morning for those who might have missed it, they were informed that their elective classes would officially start.

Unlike regular classes, the electives were not on set days to accommodate students swapping out classes and trying their best to fit in. Some of them even offered evening or weekend slots, giving th...

Chapter 308: Spider Science

We kept traversing across the coast until we were ready to call it a night. We had no real goal until Vee's quest revealed something, or we stumbled upon this mysterious Leon by accident. Either that, or we discovered civilization or other travelers.

While Vee was the master of close-range detection, my whole repertoire of [Soul Sight], [Soul Sense], and [Soul Vision] meant that I could scout ahead for any threats.

If we detecte...

B2 - Chapter 45 - Weekend

When Lotte returned to her room, she was feeling quite giddy with excitement. She was carefully cradling the scroll she'd been given by her new friend, and even if it didn't have significant value, she would have cherished it, as she didn't have too many friends growing up.

There were many superstitions surrounding Serpia, not on the level of prejudice, but enough to put most interactions on the back foot from the start. Her unusual blo...

Chapter 307: Sandy Freedom

After being escorted to the edge of the Nyrelis grove, it was time to say goodbye to Lord Aeson and Paeris. The former was more than a polite and respectful farewell, with him offering us a return trip to Caelthal if we needed it.

Naturally, with Vee and me both having coordinates saved in our [Triangulate], we could teleport there ourselves. Still, he had no idea of that fact, and so the offer was appreciated.

Paeris, on the oth...

B2 - Chapter 44 - Spell Scroll

Free from the class, Lily started heading back to her room. She didn't really feel like going to Kaeling alone and only really planned on it because Lotte wanted to look around.

When they got back to her room, the first thing she did was ask Arakil about the spell they had just performed and why it was so simple.

The answer was one she should have seen coming: the Familiar contract itself was doing the heavy lifting. It was l...

The evening after the extended dungeon class, Lily finally got to meet up with Rose. It had felt like ages since they last spoke, and both were extremely excited to see one another.

While Lily was energetic and full of positivity, Rose looked particularly drained, as if she'd gone through a brutal first week of classes.

Lily enthusiastically recounted her week, in particular mentioning her accomplishments in Practical M...

With everyone having found a group, Alice began leading the students to their next destination. They breezed through a few rooms with the monsters not even lasting a few seconds as Alice moved with supernatural speed, weaving between the enemies and leaving only a pile of bonedust in her wake.

"Right, this is the spot," Alice said, stopping outside a large set of double doors. "Before we enter, do not approach any suits o...

[I'm still baffled as to why I attracted the ire of the skeletons. I've certainly been in your presence with other monsters, although obviously not in this floating form, and it's never been an issue before.]

Lily had reunited with Arakil as they moved to the next room, where the next batch of students was getting their chance to go. Since Lily was now at the back of the pack, she used the opportunity to briefly talk with...

"Right, any guesses what type of room this is?" Alice asked the group when the final students passed through the pearlescent film.

"It's a safe room, or zone," Hana quickly answered.

"Bingo! You'll find these in pretty much any dungeon. This floor has rooms, but lower floors might have zones as they can be more open-ended. It usually depends on the type of dungeon, and the fact that this one has both types is part of its un...

B2 - Chapter 39 - Entrance

Today was finally the day practically every student had been looking forward to; their very first trip into the dungeon. The cafeteria was an endless cacophony of excited students wondering what they would encounter on their first trip.

Naturally, there were a few less excited, and even one or two naysayers who were convinced that they'd see nothing special and it would be pretty dull. How could the first floor of the dungeon ever be e...

Monster Girl Madness

Hey, so I have a rather big announcement to make!

Ten other authors and I have collaborated to release a story each, based around "Monster Girl Evolution". The reason? Well, for fun, primarily.

What started as a teasing joke with another author who couldn't think up a name for his next story to just copy Bedivere's titles with "XYZ Girl Evolution" somehow blew up into a sort of event.

Our goal is mainly based around: "Wouldn't it be hilarious if the front page of Rising Star...

Elius smiled as he saw the students walking off. Some were chatting with their classmates, while others were disappointed with their results. However, he was confident that this disappointment would motivate them to perform better when the real tests arrived.

This was why he always sprung these first two tests immediately on the students, to bring out that competitive spirit in them while also providing ample warning about what the...

The turnout for the evening was even larger than the Gala, to my surprise. But it appeared they were baking my victory in becoming the heir and announcing the engagement together. Anyone with half a brain could probably see the political reasons why the two were combined, but honestly, that was for the elves to deal with—I was just happy that this would be my last one.

Given the party's sheer size, it was clear that an attack would be ...

The demonstrations continued, with most kids getting to and failing on the flaming javelin. Professor Elius only had to cast his flaming sphere spell one more time through the remaining kids, although Lily remained the only one to successfully defend against it.

While everyone was preoccupied watching and discussing amongst themselves, Lily prompted Arakil for an explanation as she was curious about the strange spell used agains...

Chapter 305: Patchwork or Forged

Time continued to pass by without too much excitement. Preparations were being made behind the scenes, and announcements were revealed to the public.

Vee and I obviously avoided being roped into anything like that, so we spent most of the time either playing with magic, doing a bit of hunting, or lazing about.

Both Vee and I were hopeful to reach [Dimension Magic LV 5] as soon as possible, as it would theoretically unlock R...

The line kept moving as everyone gave it their best shot. Unlike the first class, Lily was excited to see such a wide variety of spells on display, likely due to the warning beforehand to prepare.

Shields of wind, barriers of ice, walls of rock, and other magical phenomena were on display, and it really tickled her enthusiasm. Of course, some students couldn't meet the small deadline and failed to defend against the first spell.

Chapter 304: Weaving and Shaping

When Vee returned to the room and witnessed what had occurred, she had a minor freakout and refused to come back until I cleaned up the mess. It was a quick job on my part, although even Llewel seemed slightly disturbed by having his arm "taken care of."

"You're both crazy, I can't believe you actually went through with it!" Vee exclaimed.

"It was a valuable test," Llewel defended. "And if it failed, I could have returned t...

Update / News

Hey all!

It's been a while since I said anything beyond dropping chapters, sorry about that, I've been quite busy trying to keep to the schedule. I haven't broken it yet (aside from the 1 day delays) so I'm quite proud of that.

With that being said, we are close to the end of Syl book 4. I'm not 100% sure when it'll be ending and I'd like to say chapter 310 for a nice round number but I might undershoot it, we'll see.

But I wanted to give a heads-up that when Syl 4 ends, I...

It was a bright and sunny day, so PMC would be held outside again. Professor Elius was once again ahead of schedule and waiting for the students to arrive.

Slowly, they began filtering through, and with the way he kept bobbing his head as they did, Lily assumed he might be holding some sort of mental checklist.

Some of the students approached him and began conversing, and when she listened in, she found them discussing the last c...

While Vee and Paeris talked business, Llewel was interested in discovering the capabilities of my pink slime. He was a top-tier alchemist, so he would naturally be the best one to help me. Loreleia eventually departed, as she had many preparations to make to line everything up for her political maneuvering.

Naturally, we started with just a simple test of the basic [Heal Slime], and Llewel even went as far as to injure himself to witnes...

Alice kept trying with Lily despite her protests. While the woman had given up on a sword and suggested using a dagger, Lily had still refused. After all, she was committed to magic. Unless she used magic to temporarily enhance her body, like Arakil had once mentioned, she'd never be able to do even half the things Alice could.

Lily was usually extremely grateful to receive help, but Alice's pushiness was starting to get...

After everyone calmed down, Loreleia, with the help of Paeris, began to explain the actual plan. I was still surprised that they didn't want me entirely stripped of the Sylthaeryn identity anymore.

While having me "killed off" was an option, it was one they wanted to avoid. I'd garnered quite a name for myself and my accomplishments in the dungeon, and even the relationship established with the Carren branch was fruitful.

Lily had, on a few occasions, tried to show glyphs to Lotte, but the girl had stubbornly refused, much like Rose had back in the orphanage. Now, the girl was basically begging Lily to show how she created her own heated bath using glyphs, a stark difference in attitude.

Lily tried to use the opportunity to give a brief explanation of what she was doing and why. Still, she noticed Lotte's eyes beginning to glaze over as she rapidly l...

She almost questioned the time and effort she had put in, but quickly stopped herself when she realized the obvious—she had gotten a whole ride.

Even Rose had to pay tuition!

I was waiting until we exited the dungeon to avoid any eavesdropping from the [Dungeon Master] before I spilled the beans on all my new toys. Vee seemed to get my idea, and so she started talking about her time while I was incapacitated.

Vee was also being held to some secrecy, so she couldn't reveal much. Not that it would do me any good, as I couldn't exactly do any spider evolutions myself. What it boiled down to was that Vee had "earned...

The area for their lesson was entirely flat except for a few elevated platforms that appeared to be arenas for duels. There was an array of various targets, both moving and stationary, and ...
