"Whoosh —!"
The red heatwave blew in the tunnel, blowing away the fireball floating in the air. It also blew away Xia Lu and Anri, who couldn't react at all, causing the two girls to fall to the ground in pain.
There was only one person that the heatwave didn't hit.
It was the fiery red figure that released the heatwave and caused a huge explosion.
A girl with a black dress and an ominous veil. She was petite, but her whole body was emitting a strange magical power. There was a "fire" word on her veil.
Who else could it be other than the team's Fire?
Fire just stretched out her hand, releasing a terrifying heatwave. The heatwave formed a red heatwave, engulfing the existence that she saw as an enemy.
But …
"I didn't expect to meet you in such a place. Is it a coincidence or is it inevitable?"
Such a voice came out from the heatwave as if it didn't care. There was a hint of a smile mixed in it.
“.....！？”
Fire's face under the veil seemed to change, as if she didn't expect the result of her attack to be like this.
However, Fire's reaction wasn't slow at all. She immediately wanted to retreat.
Unfortunately, this girl was still one step too slow.
"Bang!"
The invisible cannonball formed by pure telekinesis was like a solid iron hammer, heavily exploding on Fire's body.
"Ugh …!"
Huo Wei let out a muffled groan as he was sent flying by the explosion and fell to the ground. After rolling a few times, he barely managed to stabilize his body. He turned over and stood up, but he was holding his chest, as if he had suffered a great impact.
Only then did the heatwave in front of him gradually dissipate, revealing a coat emitting dazzling fire powder that fluttered in the wind.
Rozen was wearing this coat, standing unscathed in the center of the dissipating heatwave. His gaze wasn't on Fire, but the tunnel behind her.
Over there, a figure slowly walked over.
In his hand, there was an oil lamp.
On his body, there was a dress.
On his face, there was a mask.
In his eyes, there was a hint of courage.
It was Magnus.
Magnus fixed his gaze on the fire pendulum.
"Fire, come back."
With a cold voice, he gave such an order.
"… Yes."
Fireplume retracted its mana unwillingly and returned to Magnus's side.
It seemed like it wasn't Magnus who ordered the Fire Trapeze to attack Rozen. It was the Fire Trapeze that viewed Rozen as a threat and wanted to eliminate him.
Rozen also knew that it wasn't Magnus' attack, but the Fire Dowel's unauthorized attack.
That was because Rozen didn't feel Magnus' mana flowing into the Fire Looper's body. The attack just now came from the Fire Looper's mana.
This was not strange at all.
The six girls in the squad were all Forbidden Dolls made from the flesh and blood of the Akabane Clan, and all of them could generate magic power on their own.
Moreover, because they used Crimson Wing's Blood as a living material, the girls in the squad could generate more magical power than ordinary taboo dolls, almost as much as human beings.
This also resulted in the high level of self-discipline of the girls in the team. Even if they were separated from the puppeteers, they could still fight on their own.
However, it was too naive to think that they could hurt Rozen.
Magnus's eyes fell on Rozen's coat for a moment.
When he sent the Fire Dowel to attack Rozen for the first time in the academy, it was also because of this coat that the Fire Dowel's attack failed.
It was the same now. The Fire Dowel's attack fell on the coat, but it didn't cause any damage.
Under such circumstances, no matter how stupid Magnus was, he could guess that the coat was extraordinary.
"Magic equipment? Or a special automaton? "
Magnus muttered in a low voice.
Hearing that, Rozen just smiled.
"Why don't you guess?"
Magnus said as if he was mocking Rozen.
Magnus was silent and just stared at Rozen.
Rozen's eyes also met Magnus's.
Sparks flew as the two glared at each other, causing the atmosphere to become tense.
"Why … why is Magnus here?"
"The second … man …"
Xia Lu and Ann Lee got up from the ground with difficulty. Looking at the situation in front of them, one was surprised and the other was scared.
The Fire Dowel began to emit magic again, looking like it would attack again at any time.
The atmosphere was so heavy that it couldn't be described.
Then …
"You two should calm down a little. It's not praiseworthy to fight in a place like this."
This voice carried an indescribable sense of presence and oppression, as if it was trying to suppress the tension in the air as it slowly spread out.
The voice came from a person that everyone was familiar with.
"Student Anezhen, and the children of the Bilao family, it's great that you're okay."
As he spoke, a magus with a strong physique and powerful magic power appeared. He was at the top of the academy, and he was the top magus of the 19th century.
"Dean … Dean …!?"
Xia Lu and Ann Lee were surprised at the same time.
It was Edward Rutherford.
It was impossible for Rozen not to notice that the dean had appeared around him.
However, Rozen didn't look at the dean. He was still staring at Magnus. Only then did he turn his eyes to the dean and smiled.
"The dean and the first seat of the academy actually appeared together in such a secret facility. It's really thought-provoking."
Rozen brought up such a sensitive topic, and it made the tension that the dean had just suppressed spread again.
However, this was the question that needed to be puzzled the most.
It was obvious that only Rozen and his group fell here, but the dean and Magnus appeared together in such a place. Wasn't it thought-provoking?
"It seems that there are a lot of secrets hidden here that will interest many people, right?"
Rozen continued to bring up such a sensitive topic indifferently, causing Magnus to narrow his eyes and fall silent. Xia Lu and Ann Lee also seemed to be trembling.
Only the dean's expression didn't change.
"Don't make us out to be so suspicious. We came here specifically to find you and prepare to rescue you."
The dean said such words helplessly and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It finally made Xia Lu and Ann Lee's expressions soften a little.
However …
"Both of you seem to have come from the other side of the passage and not from the collapsed area. This proves that both of you know the existence of the secret underground facility here, and it also proves that both of you can enter and exit this place freely, right?"
Rozen said with a smile as if he didn't know how to appreciate favors.
"It's really grateful that you came to rescue us. Since safety is guaranteed, why don't both of you show us around here and tour around?"
His words caused the tense atmosphere to turn heavy.
