Capítulo 726: -716- Let's begin the second round
Next, Rozen's group, led by Hotaru, walked slowly through the pitch-black corridor.
Along the way, no one engaged in conversation, and strange creatures continued to emerge from all directions, entering the sight of everyone.
However, when facing these creatures, Rozen didn't need to intervene. Charl and Henri could also be at ease.
"Go, Hotaru."
"Yes, Master."
Under Magnus's command, Hotaru, carrying the heat, rushed forward to confront the unknown creatures, commencing a one-sided massacre.
Due to Hotaru's magical circuit being related to "pressure," she could not only release high heat but also possessed incredible propulsion and explosiveness. With a pair of daggers in hand, she charged into the swarm of monsters, cutting them apart like a streak of fiery red light. Wherever she passed, monsters were torn apart and scattered.
Magnus didn't even need to use the "Crimson Wing Formation" and didn't summon the remaining five automatons from the team. Hotaru alone dealt with the successive waves of creatures, allowing the group to move freely.
The Headmaster praised them more than once. "You truly live up to your reputation, Magnus. I'm proud that our academy has someone as talented as you."
The Headmaster's words seemed to be heartfelt, not mere flattery.
"Thank you for the praise," Magnus accepted the compliments sincerely, with no hint of pride on his face.
The two of them led the way, while Rozen, Charl, and Henri followed behind them.
Seeing the two in front, Rozen couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
(It seems they really don't want me to wander around here.)
Rozen saw through their intentions. That was the reason the Headmaster and Magnus had come here.
Otherwise, it was merely a collapse incident involving three students. Even if these three students had significant backgrounds, there should be no need for the prestigious academy's headmaster to personally come for a rescue, right?
Just as Rozen suspected, the Headmaster likely didn't want Rozen, Charl, and Henri to cause trouble here, which is why he personally came to guide them.
As for Magnus:
"He's an escort I invited."
The Headmaster said this in a very cheerful manner.
However, the authenticity of this statement is known only to those involved.
Nevertheless, there was no doubt that both the Headmaster and Magnus were aware of the existence of this underground facility.
So, what exactly is this place?
Rozen pondered such questions and followed behind the two without revealing his emotions, along with Charl and Henri, as they exited the area.
After navigating a complex route for a long time, the group finally reached an upward passage. Not long after, they saw a burst of light at the end of the tunnel.
That was the exit.
"Headmaster!"
"Headmaster!"
As the group arrived at this point, voices calling out and footsteps rushed toward them. A group of guards and disciplinary committee members gathered at the exit, seemingly waiting there in advance.
"You've worked hard."
The Headmaster offered words of consolation to everyone.
The group emerged from the tunnel.
"Onee-sama, we're out."
"Yes."
Henri and Charl had a somewhat complex conversation, their tones indicating as much.
Rozen stepped out of the tunnel and surveyed the surroundings, discovering that they were near a building surrounded by layers of iron railings, resembling a prison-like structure.
"Is this the entrance to the underground?"
Rozen turned back to look at the passage.
At this moment, the Headmaster's voice slowly reached them.
"In the past, the academy had a plan to use natural caves as a magical experimentation site, but it was sealed off due to the vast and dangerous interior."
The Headmaster provided this explanation.
The guards and disciplinary committee members around them seemed to have just realized this.
However, whether Rozen himself believed in this explanation was something only he knew.
In any case:
"Due to the unexpected incident, let's declare tonight's Night Party as inconclusive."
The Headmaster looked at Rozen and Charl.
"Tomorrow night, the 84th match will proceed as scheduled. You can settle the score then. Is that acceptable?"
The Headmaster's question, more than seeking an opinion, seemed more like an announcement.
"I don't mind," Rozen replied nonchalantly.
"I understand," Charl responded with a heavy heart.
"Very well," the Headmaster nodded in satisfaction and then dispersed everyone present, leaving only the guards to secure the area, not allowing anyone else to enter. The handling of the Night Party battleground would be handled by the academy.
This event came to a conclusion.
The Headmaster and Magnus left the area together, paying no attention to Rozen, as if they didn't care whether he would reveal the existence of the underground facility.
Rozen, likewise, didn't look at the two of them, as if he didn't care about their actions.
After all, Rozen was more interested in dealing with the other two people.
"Why don't you two come back to the dorm with me and have a nice chat?"
Rozen flashed a bright smile at his two sisters, who were huddled together.
"Don't worry, I'll be very gentle, and it won't hurt one bit."
Rozen said those words.
"Eep!"
Charl and Henri huddled together in fear, their faces filled with dread.
"Rozen."
At this moment, a low and menacing voice came from behind Rozen.
"!?"
Rozen's expression immediately stiffened.
Behind him, Yaya appeared, emitting a dark aura.
"Yaya was so worried about you, but here you are planning to take a familiar women and a unfamiliar women back to you dorm!?"
"Wait, wait, you've got it all wrong!"
Yaya's resentful cries and Rozen's shouts rang out simultaneously.
Night Party Executive Division, Grand Hall.
Cedric, sitting leisurely on a sofa while sipping tea, noticed the commotion behind him, which made him curl his lips.
"Failed?"
"Yes."
"And the reason?"
"The Headmaster and the first seat seemed to have entered there, making it difficult to target."
"Well, if that's the case, then so be it."
"Can I take that as a yes?"
"Of course, I didn't think you could easily deal with him in the first place."
"Oh..."
"What? Not satisfied? You thought that man would be powerless just because he lost his automaton, right? His automaton was right here in the academy when the 'Divine Works' had an accident. Did you think I hadn't considered that?"
"Why did you let me proceed then?"
"Why? Because I wanted to try it no matter what!"
"You do have a twisted sense of humor."
"Thank you for the compliment. I'll give you a punishment later, Shin."
Cedric and the butler who suddenly appeared behind him engaged in a cheerful conversation.
"Well then, Shin, you shouldn't come back empty-handed, right?"
This was Cedric's final confirmation.
"Yes." Shin calmly replied, "Although I encountered quite a few disgusting monsters on the way, I successfully collected some information about the facility and obtained the gift Young Master wanted."
With that, Shin raised one hand.
There, a battered steel dragon lay.
"Very good," Cedric smiled.
His smile was both joyful and pleasant.
"So, let's begin the second round."
