c61 - The First Dungeon Conquest

Well, we're now going to a place called『Dwelling of the Spirit』that's located in the Ulg Nature Park in Ulgrasia Republic.It s already been one and a half months since I became a Teacher.Of course I had a purpose for coming here, but it's really hard to take these children outside for travelling.We have been studying in this classroom all this time.With the reason that they didn't know how far the church's influence are, the Academy did not give us permission to go outside.Certainly, there is a church next to it. It can be said that this is the main reason.However, children should go outside and play around, not spending their time locked up in an Academy.Hearing about this from the children, Shizu-san tried to bring them outside but it was rejected.Somehow, It seems they are trying too much in trying to confine the children, am I underestimating the church way too much?Anyway, I'm doing what I believe is the right thing to do.And thus, I'm taking the children outside.First of all, I made the children memorize <Transfer Magic>.Normally, it's impossible even in one year to understand it. It's necessary to understand both of the structure of the magic formation and to have the knowledge of the meaning on the system's crest.
This magic is far more advanced than <Space-Based Magic>, it really is cruel to make children that haven't even hit 10 year old to learn it.
But, they might not be able to do it even if they took 3 years; perhaps there is no need to have them memorize the theory and such.Although it's unfair, on such occasion, it's time for the skill to shine.With my『Shapeshifter』abilities, I can embedded my knowledge and fused it into the children.Actually I think it's unfair, but there's no need to be picky about one's appearances anymore.Next, I summons Ranga's subordinate, with their transforming ability, I make them take the form of the children.I also made myself a clone and then the preparation is completed.Even if I had thought that there might be problem to those who opposed with them going outside, I still chose to do it.I had discussed it with Yuuki for several times, but he think it's too dangerous and our opinion clashed.It would be great if I had succeed in persuading him, but sadly it's all in vain. I can persuade him slowly if there is time, but putting me aside, the children don't have much time left.『Great Sage』had predict that at the earliest, the children had a time limit of 3 months.There is no time for a leisure discussion.I'm forcing myself to learn <Transfer Magic> to bring the children outside.Why learn <Transfer Magic>?The reason is simple. There is no need to search for the lodging while we travel, so the church won't be alerted by it.Moreover, until we reach our destination, there is no need to enter Ulgrasia Republic personally and we can go straight to Ulg Nature Park.Me and Ranga will take the children, and then we will travel rapidly.Before School lunchtime arrives, using the installed Magic Formation for <Transfer Magic> we will have already returned to the classroom.After eating the lunch, we'll then use the <Transfer Magic>and resume our travel from where we left.The purpose for making the children use magic is to have them use their magic power.If a Grand Magic is used we can postpone their breakdown for a while. The children agreed without complaining.How should I say it? Their first trip cause them great excitements.They are scared at first, but after they accustomed to the high-speed movement of me and Ranga, they enjoyed it with a great smile.At the beginning, there was someone who's peed at my back. Who would think such thing can happen?Geez... To protect their honor, they deliberately didn't said a single word.
While various small things happens, we finally arrived at the『Dwelling of the Spirit』at last.

Ulgrasia Republic is very different from the nations surrounding Jura Forest.It's not under the influence of the Western Saint's Church, also, this small nation is not a member of the Council.
They receive the Divine Protection of Spirit of Wisdom.
This is the nation who conducts trade with Sorcery Dynasty of Sarion.
While there is no restriction for going in and out of the nation, there are relatively few criminals in that nation.The reason is straightforward. This nation's people are all <Spirit-Based Magic> user.
<Spirit-Based Magic> more or less can be divided into two main categories.The first is <Spirit Magic>.This category has a lot offensive spell that is similar to <Elemental Magic>.It's borrowing the power of the spirit when using it. It requires Magic power as compensation.There's no need to chant in <Spirit Magic> spells, everyone can use it if they are connected with the spiritsthey contracted with. However, to be recognizance by the spirits, it was necessary to be liked by them.In this nation, there are many person that is liked by the spirits that exist inside the nation.Therefore, they are holding the contract's ceremony when someone reaches the age of 10 years old, if there's a person who is unable to make contract with the spirits, that person will be driven out from the nation when reaching 20 years old.Losing their qualification as a citizen. However, because there're many kinds of spirits, a person that is unable to contract with the spirits are rare.The second is <Spirit Summoning>.In this category, it was necessary to be contracted with a powerful spirit. However, to do the summoning a chant is required, though it's easier than the other type of magic.To that extent, there are no need to compare the power. <Spirit Magic> only borrowed a portion of the spirit's power, while with <Spirit Summoning> it's possible to use the power of the spirit itself.
Besides its power, it surpassed it in all other area.Thus, the power of borrowing is no match for the real thing.It's very difficult for a user of <Spirit Magic> to win against an opponent who uses<Spirit Summoning>.Even if the opponent has bad affinity against the other side, he would be able to turn over the disadvantage with <Spirit Summoning>.
