Chapter 60 Team, Teammates, Teamwork

After a lengthy explanation from Rain, Roshia heard the gist of the situation and nodded absentmindedly.

"So that's the case…"

After a few seconds, Roshia realized that her habit of mumbling made her unaware of her surroundings again.

Lowering her head, Roshia rubbed her neck nervously.

"Uh-huh.. s-sorry about that earlier. Due to my upbringing, I'm not that good with people. My name is Roshia, by the way."

Rain didn't mind about it and waved his hand in dismissal. He shook her hand and promptly introduced himself.

"It's alright, we did disturb you earlier. Nice to meet you, Roshia. My name is Rain Violetstar, you can call me Rain."

After he introduced himself, the black-haired girl beside him who was silent and expressionless spoke up.

"Sumi Aethereal."

Seeing both of them introduce themselves, Sumi followed plainly. She nodded and turned towards the pillar-like beacon without a word.

Rain felt awkward by her complete disregard, but Roshia seemed to have not minded it and similarly looked at the pillar-like beacon.

Looking at it, Roshia fell into deep contemplation, mumbling under her breath.

"This thing… looks like a magic tower. A formation is set up on the entire thing. It's quite interesting. So, as you said… we need to put our hands in this thing?"

"That's right, or at least that's what we think we should do."

Rain nodded. There was no instruction manual, so he didn't know for sure. They were relying on logic instead.

If there were handprints caved in, then wasn't it logical that putting their hands on it might elicit a change or something?

It was possible!

Hearing his words, Roshia spoke in a curious and interested tone.

"Well, I don't think your logic is wrong. From what I can see, the formation seems to concentrate on the handprints, so putting our hands might activate a hidden mechanism."

"You can understand formations?"

"Well, my hobby back in my place was to read and create formations, so I have some little knowledge about what it is about."

Roshia nodded. She stared at the ancient markings and at the '3' symbol on the pillar-like beacon silently.

"In Sorcery, formation is the language of magic. Besides adding attributes to things, it could also be used as a way to express a message. While setting the formation around this tower, the academy also left a message."

Now that made Rain and Sumi interested, with the latter suddenly turning her head and looking at Roshia in slight anticipation.

There might be important information or instructions left behind by the academy—that was what they were thinking.

At this moment, Roshia's expression turned strange.

"It says… 'To whoever sees this, I wish you good luck - yours truly, the teacher with the best disciple in this entire academy.'..."

Rain and Sumi were speechless.

"What a nice teacher, they left us a good luck note…"

Roshia's smile twitched.

Sumi shook her head in disappointment and put her hand on one of the handprints on the tower.

Following her actions, Rain and Roshia looked at each other before they also did the same thing.

Since there was no advice or instructions, they might as well put their hands. If it backfired, Rain was pretty confident they could handle it all together.

At that moment, the pillar-like beacon trembled and glowed brightly. Roshia seemed to be fascinated by the sight.

Woosh!

After a while, the pillar-like beacon stopped trembling and let out a container that stored a blue fragmented stone.

Rain and Sumi looked at the container curiously.

However, upon seeing it, Roshia immediately picked it up and looked at the blue stone up close.

"This is… a fragment of an arcane item! There's a formation engraved on the stone. But it's missing a chunk of its contents, it's impossible to activate or use."

"Then it's just nothing?"

Rain couldn't help but be disappointed.

However, Roshia shook her head.

"I don't think so. If we manage to gather the rest of the fragments of this arcane item, then the arcane item would be restored back and formation could be activated as well!" b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m

"Where would we find the rest of the fragments of the arcane items…?"

At this moment, Sumi suddenly spoke with narrowed eyes.

"While we were walking, I saw a similar pillar like this. If my guess is not wrong then… the rest of the fragments are maybe contained in the other pillars as well."

"I didn't see that... but if you say so, I'll believe you. Then that's quite possible."

Hearing her words, Rain nodded and agreed. It was definitely plausible. He rubbed his chin in contemplation.

"Then should we go there right now to verify?"

"That's right. I think we should go immediately but..."

Sumi responded before she turned to gaze at Roshia silently. Seeing her cold gaze, Roshia inadvertently felt intimidated and nervous.

However, Rain?immediately realized what she was thinking. He also looked at Roshia and reached out his hand.

"Ah, Roshia… sorry, Sumi isn't one to talk much. Do you mind accompanying us? If we use this tower as a reference, the other tower might also be the same as this one, requiring three people. We can't do it with the two of us so... we would greatly appreciate it if you join us."

Roshia was surprised. She thought for a moment before she agreed.

"...I don't see why not. Besides, if a team is needed to pass this, then I don't think I can pass it if I remain alone."

After saying that, she slowly reached out and shook Rain's hand.

Rain smiled and welcomed her to the team. With that, they didn't slow down any further and immediately walked towards the other checkmark.

***

While Rain and Sumi form a team, on the other side of the inner circle, two figures abruptly appeared in the dimension.

"So this is the inner circle…"

"What do you think, bitch?"

The two were beautiful women, one was a long blonde haired girl while the other one was a short blue haired girl.

The blonde haired girl—Elizabeth Truensoest—had a curious and amazed expression while looking at her surroundings.

However, the blue haired girl—Zyrish Fallen—had an annoyed and pissed off expression, as though having the worst day of her life.

To Zyrish's words, Elizabeth calmly responded with a smile.

"Calling someone bitch is rude, I'll forgive you, just this once."

"Ooh, the little princess is angry… What are you going to do about it, huh?"

Zyrish taunted with a mocking expression.

However, Elizabeth's smile didn't go away. She slowly turned around and stared directly at Zyrish calmly.

"You seem to have forgotten what happened earlier?"

At that moment, Zyrish froze stiff. Her entire body was trembling in anger. She looked at Elizabeth like she was about to murder her alive.

Elizabeth was unfazed as she continued.

"I don't mind if you need me to remind you about it,"

"Y-you…!"

Zyrish gnashed her teeth. She clenched her hand tightly, remembering the events before entering the inner circle.

Merely by thinking about it, she wanted to pull out her guns and outright kill the blonde haired bitch in front of her.

It was that disgraceful.

But after a while, she didn't do anything. Or rather she knew it was futile. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down, but fury still remained on her face.

"Hehe, let's go."

Elizabeth chuckled cutely and started walking away. Behind her, Zyrish followed with a furious and annoyed expression.
