■■el (3) – Fictional Hell

In this awkward atmosphere, I hurriedly stepped out into the hallway.

The students had begun whispering about me.

Things like what was the reason for that, why did I start running away, or why I didn't just do that from the beginning, that I was a coward, and so on.

Even though Luce didn't care about anyone else, she was staring at me rather attentively. Was I really that noticeable? Of course, from her perspective, I was probably just a passing extra 1, maybe extra 4 at best. Well, she would stop paying attention to me soon anyways.

Mateo nodded, a look of approval on his face. I didn't want to read his psychology because it was obvious that he was thinking something along the lines of 'Isaac adjusted his power to Tristan's level.'

'Now is not the time to get distracted.'

As soon as I got to a place where people couldn't see me, I started running.

'Come on...!'

Normally, it would take me quite a while to get to the roof. Fortunately, my stamina was in good condition. I could reach the rooftop by running at full speed without stopping.

Predictably, there was a high possibility that the Leafa the Illusive intended to confine the entire Duke Hall in [Fictional Hell]. He must have engraved a magic circle into the roof.

So I had to get rid of his spell before it attacked the students.

I sprinted up three stairs at a time. Still, it didn't consume much stamina. This was where all my Hellish PT performances came into play.

As I ran up the stairs, I took out the Cloak of Disguise from my magic pouch and put it on. I wore the ultramarine blue hooded cloak, put a mask over my mouth, and pulled the hood over my head.

Magic Cloak of Disguise- Berserker. From now on, I would look like a monster.

Fortunately, I arrived at the rooftop entrance door earlier than I had expected.

"...!"

The entrance door was wide open. The first thing I saw was a large ashen eyeball floating in the air.

[Second Eye]. It was a skill used by the Leafa the Illusive.

The eyeball was fixed on the rooftop below. It seemed like Leafa's eye was watching over the arena from inside the building with [Clairvoyance].

Even when I went up on the roof, there was no response from it. I guess it couldn't see the hallway and the stairs leading up to the roof. Otherwise, it would have seen me coming up. I was relieved.

Then, just beyond the eyeball, a strange, darkish membrane stretched into the shape of a hemisphere came into view – It was a small [Fictional Hell], covering part of the rooftop.

'Why is that thing already activated?'

At that size, it must have been used against a small group of one or two people. Someone came to hunt Leafa!

'No way...?'

Professor Fernando had disappeared during the dueling evaluation, and he hadn't returned, even after I had finished my duel.

When he conducted an exam or performance evaluation inside a building, he used telekinesis magic to set up nets. It was similar to a radar. If an uninvited guest got caught in there, Professor Fernando would immediately notice.

In any case... Professor Fernando had to be the person fighting Leafa in that small [Fictional Hell].

"Crazy."
