Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

After lying on the ground, Zeppelin and Winston rush to the sound of Merlin’s resignation.

For them, Merlin’s resignation was a ray of light in the dark days ahead.

Merlin waved his hand as he whined while clinging to himself uncommonly.

A typical field trip lasted several hours.

As time passed, Merlin’s dissatisfaction grew.

‘Isn’t there anything special other than this?’

Weapons that have changed as science has progressed are certainly moderately interesting from Merlin’s point of view.

In particular, the discovery of a substance called gunpowder and the resulting heat weapon was enough to surprise Merlin.

But that was it.

‘So what about research? When are you going to show me your research?!’

Merlin’s only interest is research conducted in the laboratory.

Among them, it was particularly related to mana stones.

‘Surely there must be research using mana stones somewhere here.’

It was a kind of intuition and certainty.

‘The field of weapon development has a great influence on the national strategy, and there is no reason not to study mana stones.’

So Merlin wanted to see the lab quickly.

Did Merlin’s wish come true?

The next course of the field trip was the laboratory.

“This is a place where renowned scientists from various fields, not just weapons production, gather to conduct joint research.”

However, the description of the lab was short, contrary to Merlin’s expectations.

Moreover, he was unable to take a close look inside the laboratory by blocking access with a glass window.

All I could see was a few researchers walking back and forth in the lab.

“Then let’s move on to the next place.”

To make matters worse, the researcher in charge of the guide started guiding us to another place.

The other cadets moved quickly to see the boring lab, but from Merlin’s point of view, it was just frustrating.

‘What is this···.’

He thought he was going to get something from a tour of the National Science Institute, but he didn’t get anything.

He couldn’t figure out anything, no matter how much Merlin, by just passing by.

But when everyone else is leaving, you can’t be left alone.

He glanced back at the lab with regretful eyes.

It’s like looking for an opportunity.

And the opportunity came sooner than expected.

“You have worked hard since morning!”

Hurum led the cadets to their next destination on a large lawn.

“It is lunch time now. The lab is also lunchtime, so we will take a break.”

As soon as the words were finished, a gleam flashed in Merlin’s eyes.

“Enjoy your meal and I will see you in an hour.”

Hurum, who gave a brief greeting, turned around and disappeared.

Soon after, the lunch box prepared by the academy was distributed to the cadets.

‘Huh. Is that so?’

There was a cadet who secretly disappeared the moment everyone was absorbed in their lunch box.

“Uh… ta, top lord? Sasha, Ta, have you not seen Top Lord?”

“Ummm… you were here a while ago.”

With Merlin’s lunchbox, Kay looked around.

“Winston, Zeppelin… haven’t you seen Top Lord?”

“I do not know.”

“I must have gone to the bathroom.”

After looking for a while, Merlin was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, Kei and Sasha’s eyes met.

“Eh, ah…”

“surely?”

Their gazes turned towards the lab they had just passed through.

***

Merlin that Sasha and Kay are looking for.

He was clinging to the lab hallway he had passed ten minutes before.

And many researchers rushed past him.

It was to go for lunch.

“So what happened…”

“Hey, does that make sense?”

Researchers who talk about dorando.

But none of them cared for Merlin, who was clinging to the hallway wall.

He passed by naturally as if he had never seen him.

This was also thanks to Merlin’s magic.

4 Circle Magic, Hyde.

It was not a magic that made invisible like the 5th Circle Invisible, but it was a magic that obstructed the perception of others.

However, there was a fatal weakness in the hide, which was that you should never move after spreading the hide.

‘Ah-oh. I’m going to die of discomfort. I need to make a 5th circle or something.’

Minor movements are fine, but when it moves dynamically, the Hyde is released, so Merlin was stuck against the wall until all the researchers passed by, unable to move.

So the researchers rush out.

“Have you all gone?”

Merlin, who was looking around, saw that no one was coming and started moving quickly again.

Merlin soon arrived in front of the lab.

He looked through the window to see the empty lab and smiled slightly.

However, there was one problem.

‘But how do you get in there?’

A lock was installed on the lab door.

It was a minimal device to prevent theft.

As he was thinking, he heard footsteps.
