B2 - Chapter 17 - Strange
Lily and Arakil spent the rest of the day doing some minor trials with the chalk. The first thing they discovered was that anything drawn in chalk was only able to be used once—even if Lily put in a switch to turn the glyph off.
The chalk itself practically destroyed itself once activated, unlike its inky counterpart. It was a little unfortunate as Lily wanted to be able to make it last as long as possible, but the disposable nature o...

Chapter 285: Instant Meal Delivery
With both of us refreshed and ready to go, we ascended the steps—the last room before the boss. I could already predict that it would be some kind of protection mission to award us the final grape; I just hoped it wouldn't involve the king or queen plantoid this time.
So when we saw the pedestal in the center of the room, we both let out a small cheer in celebration.
"Thank the gods, it's just another protect the pedest...

B2 - Chapter 16 - Deciding
When Lily returned to her room after grabbing a meal with Beatrice, she was pretty over the moon. Not only did she get information about her electives and consequently get permission to do the enchanting class, but she also received more of the mysterious glyph chalk.
I was very worried about using the few pieces I had left from the ritual. Now, not only did I get a box full, but I've learned that there's more in the dungeon.<...

Chapter 284 : Displaced
"Fine, I won't cast the spell, but I hope we will get at least one more floor to do some good monster grinding. I need a lot more levels if I'm going to take on those assassins," I replied.
<Very well… just please be reasonable.>
"I can see why they called you the dungeon extorter," Vee said.
"I'm not that bad. It's just some plant monsters, which I'm sure Dran is effortlessly creating. If I was asking...

Lily and the boys shared a questioning glance; Arthur shrugged, Thomas shook his head, and Lily sighed. It seemed she wasn't the only one left in the dark.
"Terravix won't be happy; they've missed out on quite a few of the early students," Beatrice commented.
"Bah, they have enough good students," Professor Elius scoffed. "And it's not like early students are always the ones with the highest prospects; there might be a fe...

Chapter 283: Harmony
Stepping through my [Rift Door] had an unintended side-effect; Vee was dropped from her [Aerokinesis] bed and humorously fell to the floor.
"Some warning would have been nice," Vee grumbled as she picked herself up.
"You're welcome to join me in here," I offered.
"Nope. It's much nicer out here; have fun," Vee swiftly rejected and began making an impromptu hammock.
I shrugged it off and got to work. In terms of creating roc...

"Right, I think that's everything?" Professor Elius asked.
Lily and both boys shook their heads; there were no further questions from either of them at this stage.

Chapter 282 : Water and Air
If the next set of floors were all going to be upscaled rehashes of previous challenges, then I would definitely not be looking forward to it. I was already extremely tempted to kill the annoying plantoid king, who continued doing a merry jig.
"I think he's going to be a lot faster, judging by the extra energy he's giving off," Vee said.
"As if the first time wasn't annoying enough already," I whined. "It wouldn't matter if I co...

Following Beatrice closely, they began heading toward the central part of the school. Next up was getting Lily officially registered for her mandatory classes and introducing her to her electives.
Lily was rather excited to find out what her curriculum would be, and so was Arakil, as this would finally be his chance to gain some more knowledge of the current era of magic.
When they entered the classroom, Lily immediately spotted ...

<Defend the treasures! At least one must survive to pass, but you lose out on potential rewards.>
That was the first notification we received upon entering the next floor. There were two pedestals on opposite ends of the room, each with a yellow and green grape displayed.
"Oh great, that's number three and four out of the seven grapes," Vee cheered.
"I guess you can't sit back and relax in this one unless ...

Naturally, Lily attempted to obtain further information from Rebecca and Aura but with no success. The two were tight-lipped, and Rebecca insisted Lily would learn about it either during her orientation or in her dungeon studies class.
"I don't want to get into trouble for accidentally filling your head with stuff you aren't ready for," Rebecca said.
"And I don't want to ruin the surprise," Aura agreed.

"What!? Are we under attack?" Vee cried out in surprise.
She fumbled around frantically, falling out of her web hammock and tangling herself up even more. Some threads cut themselves, likely her [Thread Mastery] skill at work, dropping her to the floor. I stared at the silly spider collapsed on its back when Vee suddenly teleported into place to land right side up.

B2 - Chapter 11 - "Food"
The first thing Lily noticed as they entered the cafeteria was how vacant it was. To make matters worse, the few students who were in the room did not have food in front of them and were either chatting softly with friends or studying.
Clearly, this must have been the sign Rebecca used to predict that Aura was on duty. Lily felt herself gulping, her imagination going wild about what sort of food crimes could be committed to have this vis...

Shortly after, the staircase to the next floor appeared. We started climbing up to move on. After officially passing the halfway point, I wasn't sure what to expect from the next floors.

Just as the notification had said, the floor was devoid of monsters or a challenge condition. Instead, there was a table, chairs, benches, and even...

By the time they reached the girls' dorm, Lily had seen quite a variety of students and Familiars. It really seemed that they could quite literally be anything, as she saw things as small as a mouse to as large as a horse.
That wasn't even including the weird ones, as she saw birds whose feathers looked like flames or a dog made out of snow. In her opinion, these made her "floating book possessed by a ghost" almost look mundan...

Right off the bat, things started with explosive ferocity, and multiple [Fireball] spells were flung and detonated against the giant vine snake. It was a classic at this point and needed to be done before I went with any other methods.
Thanks to modifying my fire spells long ago, the monster was set aflame with continuous [Combust] spells laced into the modified [Fireballs]. Naturally, debuffs were going off at the same time, stacking [...

[Well, the proper terminology for my intended imitation is poltergeist, as I mentioned before, but that might be too technical of a classification. We could go with a simpler classification, such as ghost or spirit if you'd like. Also, they cannot hear me; only you can. While a broadcasting version of telepathy is feasible, I didn't want to push on the bounds of my current limitations.]

The platinum banana seemed to have a similar effect on Vee as she jittered uncontrollably after eating it. She was incredibly delighted with the fruit and gloated endlessly about the indescribable taste.
I bet slime cores still taste the best. I wonder if the pink one will have any special taste due to its rarity.
The last remaining floors up until the boss weren't really worth mentioning, except for one, as most of them w...

Pete led the group to the back of his house, where a rather odd-looking wagon awaited them. A small boat sail was replacing the section where you would hitch it to a beast of burden. Lily and the two boys shared a confused glance between themselves before turning expectantly to Pete.
