"The number of monsters in the maze doubles with each floor you advance to. Moreover, starting from the 10th floor, the monsters' resistance to magic increases. So, without divine seals, your attacks on the monsters will have little effect and could lead to a total wipeout."
"As I said from the beginning, the maze is a place where risks and opportunities coexist. Without absolute strength, it is best not to go in alone."
"There are no restrictions on entering the maze. You can enter at any time after class. However, I suggest you stay on the first nine floors and never go to the tenth floor or above."
"One more thing, as I mentioned before, is that each time you enter the maze, there should not be more than 4 people, otherwise the maze monsters will become extremely ferocious and violent."
"So, if someone has already entered, this device at the entrance will give a notification."
"If it shows that someone has already taken the quest, you should wait a while until this team comes out before going in."
"..."
"So the monsters in this maze can't handle it? They're allowed to gang up on us, but we're not allowed to gang up on them."
Kane couldn't help but make a comment.
Where can I find one like this?
Only teams of four can enter at a time.
If there are more than 4, the maze will apply a status effect to the monsters.
That's just because they can't afford to play the game.
Troyes shrugged helplessly. "Even so, you can't just not go in."
"The maze is a unique resource of our Hero Academy. I believe you all felt the improvement in your divine seals after killing the monsters just now."
"As long as you continue to train, your divine seals will eventually evolve, allowing you to possess your own divine seal weapons. Keep it up, everyone."
Troyes' answer made Rudy's eyes light up.
It's good that there are no entry restrictions.
He could enter anytime after class, so naturally he wanted to make the most of it.
However, there's no rush.
Michelle still needs to be nurtured. This little girl is too kind-hearted and not decisive enough when using magic.
Therefore, we must find someone to be her role model and inspire her to make progress together.
Rudy thought Ariel was a good fit for the role.
...
It was already noon when get out of class ended.
Rudy, along with Michelle, went to the cafeteria with Kane and the others.
The food at the Brave Academy's cafeteria is quite good; unlike some other places where the staff's hands shake constantly while serving the food, which is infuriating.
Because Rudy came in first place in the entrance exam, he didn't have to pay for his meals.
On the other side.
Troyes arrived at the dean's office.
The dean of the Hero Academy is a very legendary figure.
It is said that she once guided the Seven Heroes in their training and also holds the title of Sage.
However, Troyes, standing at the door, felt somewhat uneasy.
The dean is great in every way, except she hates being disturbed during her afternoon nap.
I have a terrible temper when I wake up.
With a sigh, Troyes mustered his courage and knocked on the door.
Faced with the unexpected changes in the maze, he still felt it was better to report it.
He is a mentor and has a responsibility to his students.
What if something unexpected happens in the future?
"Who is it? Don't they know I'm taking a nap?"
After knocking on the door, a clear, childlike voice came from inside. Troyes perked up and nervously said:
"Dean, it's me, Troyes. I have something important to report about the labyrinth."
"What could possibly happen in a maze? Never mind, come in and tell me."
The door opened automatically with a bang.
Troyes immediately stood up straight and strode inside.
From Troyes's perspective, all that can be seen is a luxurious chair with a luxurious desk.
The chair was facing away from him, so Troyes could only see a wisp of silver hair and what appeared to be a pair of delicate, white feet that were perched up.
Every time he came in, he could only see this one scene, and he could not see the dean's face or figure at all.
Troyes composed himself and recounted the hallucinations he encountered while leading Rudy's team to the first level of the labyrinth.
The chair spun around abruptly when the characteristics of that powerful goblin were mentioned.
"What did you say? The goblin's appearance... never mind, I'll see for myself!"
The dean simply raised her hand, and Troyes felt as if he had been punched on the head, followed by a wave of dizziness.
A beam of colorful light was flicked by the dean's finger, transforming into a high-definition image that appeared before them.
The video playing above is Troyes's memory of that hallucination.
"How is that possible? This guy's a complete idiot!"
Troyes lowered his head sharply. "Dean, what kind of idiot are you?"
He didn't dare look at the dean at all.
It is said that a professor from a college once fell in love with the dean after just one glance at her.
Then, because he couldn't get what he wanted, the more this person became twisted, and he even dared to steal the dean's underwear.
As a result, he was accidentally kicked away by the angry dean and became crippled.
There are countless legends about the Dean.
Some people say she is an absolutely beautiful woman.
Some people say she's a loli (young girl).
Some people say she actually has the face of an elven beauty and is a fairy.
In short, one thing is certain: the Dean is not only incredibly powerful, but his charisma is also devastating.
Troyes didn't want to fall in love with the dean and then lose his life, so he kept his head down the whole time he was reporting the situation.
The dean stared in surprise at the figure on the screen.
"What an idiot."
"So, Dean, what kind of idiot are you?"
"Oh, he's the leader of one of the Demon King's armies, named Gobclub. This guy is extremely cruel; he likes to tear human males apart alive and then eat them."
"What?!!!"
Troyes opened his mouth wide.
"But that must be an illusion, right? Why would such a terrifying creature appear in my hallucination?"
"Illusion my foot!" The dean glared at him irritably. "This is not an illusion at all. Your divine seal was indeed injured. Although it has been healed, I can still find a trace of something special."
"Huh? How could that be? But the students all say it's an illusion, a goblin mage's magic."
"Alright, alright, just pretend it's an illusion. As for the squad you're leading, show me the information on the three people in the squad. You don't need to worry about those three anymore, understand?"
"Yes! I understand."
Troyes immediately responded loudly.
He turned around and ran away without looking back.
I still don't dare to look at the dean.
Troyes is terrified of the Dean's charm.
...
In the office, the dean's fair hands opened the documents, her pink lips slightly parted.
"Light attribute? Interesting..."
"His name is Rudy, right? Tsk, someone from the Merles family."
