Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes

On the other side, after entering the room, Anweis quickly looked around.

After a while, he found a long, narrow and deep crack in the basement of the house.

Compared with the stone of the surrounding walls, the color of the fracture surface on both sides of the crack is very new.

And under the gap, an ancient staircase that slopes downward looms.

Staring at the darkness below the stairs, Anweiss did not enter in a hurry, but raised his hand and summoned a flame, controlling it to float into the darkness below the stairs.

The small orange flame was suspended at a height of half a meter above the ground, flying unhurriedly. The darkness was dispelled by this faint light, and a series of exquisite footprints in the dust on the ground were revealed in Anweis' eyes.

Although it is a flame supported by magic power, if it enters an environment with polluted air, this flame will also be extinguished.

"It didn't go out, which means that there must be a vent in the passage below. And, someone just passed here."

After confirming Claire's whereabouts, a smile hung from the corner of Anvis's mouth, and the Dark Moon Staff appeared silently in his palm.

The left hand held behind his back silently squeezed out a gesture, and a light white ball of light condensed in front of his head.

But when he was about to walk down the stairs, the magic eye in midair discovered something new:

A female trainee is rapidly approaching the house.

Anweis thought for a while, and remembered that she seemed to be a freshman at the same time as him, named Pecara.

Was she also attracted by the sound of the house collapsing?

It seems that there will be one more partner in the race with the tiger.

Shaking his head slightly, Anweis walked down the stairs slowly.

It doesn't matter, the most important thing now is to find Claire's location at this time.

.....

In the narrow and cramped corridor, a half-elf girl with golden long hair is walking slowly.

The surrounding air was damp and dull, filled with an unpleasant odor characteristic of poorly ventilated environments.

But this doesn't bother the girl - a thin layer of magic power covers the girl's mouth and nose, the foul breath is blocked outside, and only filtered fresh air can pass through.

A strange and curved dagger similar to a ritual dagger was tightly held in the girl's white left hand.

The right hand seems to be hanging down naturally, but the swing is very small, ready to take out spell-casting materials or alchemy props from the several light brown small bags on the waist at any time.

A specially made brass lantern was suspended in front of her left, with a warm yellow and reassuring light, illuminating a cone-shaped area in front of her.

The girl controlled the angle of rotation of the lantern from time to time, checking the rock walls on both sides, so as not to miss possible dangers.

The sound of soft footsteps echoed in the ancient and silent corridor, sending out echoes.

As she walked, the girl's white and crystal-clear pointed ears suddenly moved.

Behind her, there was a voice that didn't belong to her!

The girl stopped instinctively, carefully turned off the lantern, and pressed her body against the wall. The right hand changed two gestures, and whispered a short incantation.

"The Veil of Invisibility—"

The mysterious magic effect appeared immediately, and the girl's figure gradually became transparent and melted into the air.

Tap, tap, tap...

Accompanied by the soft white light and the sound of footsteps, what came into view was the figure of the young man who had smiled at her before.

A pale white light ball the size of a fist dispelled the darkness, illuminating his soft and pale face and light golden hair. The crystal-like monocle refracted the magic light, and the mysterious silver spell book hung on his waist.

He held a graceful and slender silver-white staff in his hand, and the irregular crystals at the tip of the staff shone with a faint blue luster. The refracted brilliance reflected on the slightly swaying academy cloak, making his demeanor appear mysterious and noble.

What a nice view……

Gazing at the figure of Anvis emerging from the darkness,

The half-elf girl couldn't help but stare in a daze.

Immediately, she was startled suddenly, and began to blush at her momentary thought again.

But seeing that it was a classmate who came instead of something strange, she breathed a sigh of relief and lifted her invisibility.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the moment the invisibility was lifted, she seemed to feel that the freshman looked at her in the invisibility.

"Oh! What a coincidence, senior, we meet again."

Seeing the girl's figure, Anweis showed a somewhat surprised look, and greeted her harmlessly.

The girl nodded slightly, and just as she was about to speak, new footsteps came from behind the two of them again.

The two people with different thoughts turned their heads to look at the same time, and a beautiful girl with blond hair and purple eyes, holding a long staff, appeared in the corridor behind her.

"Is there anyone here already? Hello, my name is Pecara, and I'm a freshman this year~"

Surprised by Claire's existence, Pekkara blinked her big amethyst-like eyes, showed a sweet and lively smile, and greeted the two of them politely.

"The house outside suddenly collapsed, so I came here to check the situation."

"You're Anvis, right! I remember you, the one who got a perfect evaluation at the freshman welcome ceremony!"

The girl looked at Anvis with shining eyes, with a touch of admiration in her tone.

"Hello, Pekkara. I am honored to have a lady remember my name in such a short time—"

With a calm smile on his face, Anweisi nodded gracefully to her.

Although it is clear that this is just a girl's deliberate compliment, it is still quite comfortable to hear.

"This beautiful half-elf sister, what's your name?"

After a brief exchange of greetings with Anvis, Pecara turned to the girl in front of the tunnel, with a hint of curiosity in her tone and eyes.

"...I am, Claire."

After a moment of silence, the blond girl spoke softly. The sound is like a forest stream filled with mist, with a bit of mystery in its beauty.

"Claire? What a nice name!"

Pecara had a cute smile on her face, and the compliment she said made the girl blush a little.

"Hello, Claire-senpai—"

Staring at her blue eyes that were as beautiful as clear crystals under the white light, Anweis smiled softly and saluted gracefully.

That's right, it's her.

Claire Liddell, the legendary explorer who changed the pattern of the entire old world, was lucky to meet——

"This corridor should not have been cleared by the explorers, and there may be unpredictable dangers. Are you sure you want to move on?"

The blue eyes stared at the two people who had different thoughts, Claire's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was a hint of kind reminder in her tone.

"Of course, if it hasn't been cleaned up, it also means that there may be windfalls, doesn't it?"

Anweis smiled and looked back at the girl's eyes, the blue eyes shining brightly under the illumination of candlelight.

While speaking, he secretly looked at the two of them.

Claire, third rank, small and powerful.

Pekkara, the first rank, a rookie.
