After the meeting, about ten minutes passed.
In the past ten minutes, the master candidates have landed on their respective baskets and waited for the order to enter at any time to perform the transfer of Quintessence.
Rozen was also waiting next to his own basket.
It's just …
"That's really annoying …"
Next to the basket, Rozen was muttering with an unhappy face.
Next to him, Matthew, who was also waiting next to her own basket, said as if she accepted the fact.
"I didn't expect senpai to be excluded from the list of Team A."
Yes.
Rozen was not on the list of Team A.
There were a total of nine master candidates in Chaldea since a month ago.
Team A, on the other hand, would select the top eight in the simulation battle.
In this way, naturally, one person will be left alone.
Unfortunately, the one who was left alone was Rozen.
"Who told senpai to not take the previous simulation battle seriously?"
Matthew explained the reason helplessly.
That was the fundamental reason.
Although in the past month, Rozen was unprecedentedly active, and he got full marks almost every time in the simulation, but before that, Rozen never took the simulation seriously. He either just got a pass, or he didn't even get a pass at all, and sometimes he was absent or late. All of these were recorded in Chaldea's computer as real results.
In this way, Rozen's result was ranked last, successfully left alone.
In fact, it didn't matter whether he was alone or not.
With the A Squad helping him pave the way in front of him, Rozen was happy and relaxed.
However, Matthew was one of the members of Team A.
How could Rozen be at ease to let the girl who was afraid of fighting go to the singularity alone?
"It's okay, senpai."
It seemed that Matthew saw the worry in Rozen's heart and said so very seriously.
"I will pave the way for senpai and hold on until senpai arrives."
He wasn't trying to be brave, he was just being strong.
Even if she was afraid of fighting, Matthew did not intend to run away from it, nor did she intend to hide behind Rozen.
In the face of this girl's strength, Rozen couldn't say anything to refute.
"There's no other way …" Rozen could only say to Matthew, "Then you have to be careful."
"Yes, I understand." Matthew nodded heavily.
Rozen reluctantly stopped complaining and turned to look in the direction of the Commander's Office.
Over there, a group of Chaldea's technicians were making the final adjustments to the spirit particle transfer, operating all kinds of instruments non-stop.
Olga Marie was also pacing back and forth among the technicians, constantly giving instructions.
Rozen looked at the situation and frowned.
"Senior?"
Noticing that Rozen was acting strangely again, Matthew couldn't help but speak out.
But this time, Rozen didn't have the energy to respond to Matthew.
Rozen just stared in the direction of the Commander's Office with an extremely serious expression.
Because, there was a person that Rozen couldn't help but care about missing.
"Where's Lev …?"
It was Lev.
After carefully searching the interior of the Commander's Office, Rozen still couldn't find Lev's figure.
This made Rozen couldn't help but think of the strange feeling he felt when he first met Lev.
This strange feeling, now with Lev's disappearance, grew stronger in Rozen's heart.
In the end, it grew to the point that it made Rozen restless.
"At such an important moment, why would that man suddenly disappear?"
The more he thought about it, the more Rozen felt concerned.
So …
"Se … Senior? Where are you going? "
Matthew's astonished voice sounded.
At the same time, the rest of the masters also cast a stunned and surprised look at Rozen.
Rozen didn't care about it at all. As he ran out of the control room, he shouted at Matthew without looking back.
"I'll be back soon!"
After shouting, Rozen rushed out of the control room amidst Matthew's shouts and the whispers of the crowd.
Faintly, it seemed to be accompanied by the roar of Olga Marie.
"Rorelles? Aniezhen …! "
Hearing his name being shouted, Rozen ran out of the control room without looking back.
…
"Ha … Ha … Ha …"
Not long after running out of the control room, Rozen felt that his physical strength was almost exhausted.
If it was any other time, Rozen would've already complained and laid on the ground.
But this time, Rozen kept consuming his physical strength, running in the corridor of Chaldea, and even used Bird Summoning magic to summon dozens of birds and spread them to Chaldea.
While running, Rozen divided his spirit into dozens of parts, sharing his senses with the Tamed Monsters, looking for Lev's trace.
Being able to divide his senses into dozens of parts while doing his own thing showed how excellent Rozen's ability was.
But …
"No …?"
With one hand on the wall, Rozen, who was gasping for breath, couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"How could it be?"
He had divided his senses into dozens of parts and searched all of Chaldea with the tamed monsters, but he couldn't find any trace of Lev.
"Did he hide in some important facility or workshop, or did he just leave Chaldea?"
If it was the former, because it was an important place, there were generally defense systems and enchantments, and the tamed monsters couldn't get in.
Not to mention the latter, once Lev really left Chaldea, it would be impossible to find him.
No, that was not the problem.
"Why did Lev not only leave the control room at such an important moment, but also disappeared without a trace?"
A bad feeling had been growing in Rozen's heart.
Unfortunately, Rozen's hunch was always accurate in bad things.
Therefore, that thing happened.
For Rozen and the people closest to him, it was enough to determine their fate.
"Boom …"
A muffled sound without any warning suddenly resounded, making the entire Chaldea seem to shake, and a rumbling sound was heard.
"What … what happened!?"
Rozen couldn't help but be surprised.
In the next second, an alarm sounded in the whole Chaldea.
"An emergency has occurred, an emergency has occurred."
"There is a fire in the central power station and the central control room."
"The barrier wall in the central area will be blocked in 240 seconds. Please leave from the second gate quickly."
"Repeat."
"Central power station and the central — — —"
The cold and merciless alarm sounded, and the whole Chaldea began to deal with the fire under the flashing red light.
And Rozen's mind was completely blank.
"Fire? Control room? "
As soon as these two words flashed in Rozen's mind, Rozen ran in the direction of the control room before he could react.
Because there was someone very important to Rozen there.
"Matthew …!"
