Seline pov

I arrive in front of the dungeon. "Hey Seline! Here!" I hear Leopold shouting. I land in front of him and let my broom float away, "Leopold how long! How are you? How's training going?" I ask him, smiling cheerfully. "Great! in no time I will be the wizard king!".

I chuckle "Well then you have a rival, even one of our recruits wants to become the wizard king my dear!" he looks at me with stars in his eyes "Who?" I ruffle his hair "His name is Asta, or nicknamed by me Asta-chan". He looks at me with total adoration in his eyes, "Seline-san, I can't wait to meet him! Furthermore, I will work very hard so you can give me a cool nickname!"

I laugh heartily. Then I hear footsteps and see Fuegoleon approaching. Not far away there is another member of the Crimson Lion who, however, is reluctant to approach. "Fuegoleon! I'm happy to see you!" I smile at him.

The aforementioned wizard and I have known each other for a while, approximately since I joined the Black Bull and every now and then we meet for missions. We have developed a beautiful friendship, which is also partly based on my interest towards him, but in any case it is not the basis of it.

He smiles at me, abandoning his rigid behavior for a moment "Seline, how are you? I missed you!" Then he hugs me, something he's never done before, but which seems as normal as breathing.

"I'm fine! So what's the problem?" I ask curiously and he becomes serious again. "We've started to explore the dungeon, but it's constantly changing" he declares "we need someone capable of tracking it and predicting its movements" he concludes. I nod, I'm still a little confused, I'm certainly not the best tracker around here, there are much better magicians than me. Of course the fact that I can use light magic which in itself is very fast is an advantage, but in terms of technique my light and dark magic is woeful.

Never mind, I'm here now, I'll do my best, the other member of the Crimson Lion is approaching. "Sir the entrance is free again", "Good".

Then we follow Fuegoleon into the dungeon, I activate my spell "Ethereal Trace" (creates a three-dimensional light model of the area. It can be very detailed or very specific but the more the area expands the more the precision decreases).

A model of the dungeon opens up in front of me. The center is not too far away but it moves quickly without ever stopping too long in one place. "Interesting" I say then I raise a hand on the model in front of me, "Prevision" (it can track the movements and intentions of an object or a person, it works better if you close your eyes, it is a light spell, but if you keep this spell using others becomes very difficult and you risk losing concentration).

A path is drawn in my vision. I start to run very fast. If we don't go at a fast pace we will never reach the center. The others follow me, the magician I don't know is struggling a bit, but at the moment there are no problems. Then a column of fire erupts right in front of me, I dodge it, but it chases me. Damn it! Didn't need it, flames against flames don't work much and I can't interrupt my spell otherwise it will stop working and we'll get lost.

All I can do is cash in, I take a deep breath "Go faster!!" I shout to the others I stop for a moment and fortify myself in a crude way with pure mana. So when the flame hits me it doesn't scratch me it only leaves me vaguely weakened and a little burnt.

"Seline!!" I hear Fuegoleon calling me, "I'm fine!!" I shout then I increase the pace and reach them, "we're almost there!", we run another 10 meters and then "JUMP!" I shout they do it. The floor beneath us disappears and reappears a few seconds later along with a door that Fuegoleon breaks and so we enter the treasure room.

I turn around smiling when I notice that the wizard I don't know is no longer with us, he remained impaled on a rock outcrop that appeared just before the door to the treasure room. He wasn't fast enough, no, I should have been more careful. I would have saved him.

I cover my mouth with my hand while the room moves, we're still inside so there are no problems, but we will no longer be able to recover the magician's body. I feel an arm wrap around my waist and it's Fuegoleon. I let myself be comforted for a few seconds then Leopold yells at us "Look what I found!".

From that moment we work hard to collect everything, when we are satisfied I cast my spells again, but this time on the exit. Once outside I have regained some good humor and I manage to joke with the brothers who seem relieved to see me smile again. We say goodbye and I recall my broom, "Well, see you next time!" says Leopold "I already hope to see you again soon, I will miss you! be careful!" I shout as I ride away on the broom.

"Sure as always!" Fuegoleon replies. I move away towards the base of the Black Bulls. And after a while I land entering the base.

There aren't many people around yet, since it's practically dawn, there's my sister who's talking to Finral. I hear them say, "... ugh last night I slept maybe 4 hours" my sister laughs and replies "4? It's already a lot if I slept for 3!"

I enter into the conversation, "Did you guys sleep?" I know what I'm saying doesn't make much sense since they didn't have a mission, but in that moment all the tiredness of the sleepless night hits me, and I collapse literally. But before I can fall badly to the floor an arm holds me up, then someone I identify as Yami, picks me up bridal style and places me on the couch where I instantly fall asleep.
