“Where is my name?” Oz muttered in confusion. He couldn’t find his name at the floating board, but fortunately, Albus and co’s name are written at the board.

(Master, don’t the staff said that you don’t need to partake the first and the second test? Maybe it had a connection with what she said) (Reo)

(I see, I’ll try to-) (Oz)

“Mr. Ren,” The female staff that notified Oz about the headmaster to him suddenly called him from behind.

“Yes?” (Oz)

“The headmaster had prepared a place for you to wait until the 3rd test, please follow me,” Said the female staff as she led Oz to a house near the training grounds.

The place they visited is a house near the training grounds, she opens the house door with an old key and they entered the house. She leads Oz to a room that as spacious as a living room, the room is wide and looked fancy.

“Where are we?” Questioned Oz.

(This is very private, master. We’ll close our eyes and ears if you want to!) (Fenrir)

(What the hell did you mean, Fenrir?) (Oz)

(Nothing…) (Fenrir)

(You dirty-minded dog) (Oz)

“This is the house made for the battle instructor, but the ex-battle instructor had already quit a month ago, so this room is vacant,” Explained the female staff.

“I see…” Oz continued to observe the room.

“Please have your time, I’ll notify you when the 3rd test begins,” The female staff bowed and about to leave the room.

“Um… Do I need to wait here until you call me?” Oz asked her before she leaves.

“Yes, the headmaster asked me to make you wait here,” The female staff said and leave the room.

“Hm… I wonder what does this means…” Oz mumbled as he sits at the couch, and closes his eyes.

(Headmaster, huh. Judging from the old man’s personality, he won’t do anything that will threaten me, he also needs me to kill the nobles in his opposition, so it’s impossible for him to displease me) (Oz)

(But then, I don’t know anything about this academy headmaster, that known as the magic god and the royal magician of the kingdom, what does he want from me?) (Oz)

(Maybe he just checking whether the person who got chosen by the sword god, satisfy his expectation or not) (Reo)

(You might be right… But the staff didn’t say that the headmaster will be meeting me) (Oz)

“Well, there is no need to worry too much about it, I think I’m going to go back to Tarot, there are some things that I need to check, you guys want to join?” Oz asked them both.

(Yes, master! We’re in!) (Fenrir)

(Me too!) (Reo)

“Okay then! Prepare yourselves!” (Oz)

Oz gathered his mana and utilize it with the exact way with how he used his qi before, and sent his consciousness to the goblin [King] clone.

(W-where are we, master?) (Fenrir)

Clank!

The sight that Fenrir and Reo see when they try to see from Oz’s goblin [King] clone eyes is the sight of a huge and terrifying chimera that got slashed by a minotaur’s ax. The slash is strong, but what they heard, is as if the minotaur is slashing an iron with his ax.

“Reo, Fenrir, come out!” Oz shouted, followed with a Poof! Sound and a pair cloud of smokes, and a mini cat, and a mini dog appeared.

“Not that appearance, but your real appearance!” Oz shouted, and another Poof! Sounded, and a huge white wolf and a huge dark lion appeared.

“Where are we, master?” (Reo)

“We’re at the dungeon near Tarot, fortunately, my clones had managed to reach this place, the boss room of the 24th floor,” (Oz)

“Dungeon!?” (Reo)

“Boss floor!?” Fenrir shouted with a higher pitch.

“The defiler of the banished, Ataraxia. Give me a sword,” (Oz)

A dense amount of death and ice gathered at Oz’s right hand, forming a vortex of death and ice mana, slowly but steadily, the vortex formed a sword.

Whoosh!

The vortex disappeared, and a sword with a strange but beautiful black sword with white rune designs on its sides appeared on Oz’s right hand.

“Reo, Fenrir, my clones had been fighting this demonic manticore for 4 hours, even though my clones are strong enough to evade all of its attacks, but it keeps on regenerating every time it almost dies, I believe we need to destroy the magic core inside it, please use a forbidden magic to attack it, my clones will distract it while you’re casting the spell, while I’ll slash its magic core when its body broke,” (Oz)

“Y-yes!” (Fenrir)

“Roger that!” (Reo)

“Start chanting!” Oz instructed both of them.

Oz now had 20 clones in his possession, there is the minotaur, ogre, fire golem, wind golem, ice golem, earth golem, kobold, manticore, mummy, frost bear, harpy, and earth ape clone at the front lines. While there are only a lich, demonic ant, and demon clone at the rear guards to support.

The golems act as a tank and took all the hit from the demonic manticore, they didn’t die until this time because of the demon clone supporting the fire golem, the lich clone supporting the ice golem, the minotaur clone supporting the earth golem, and the kobold and mummy clone supporting the wind golem. By maintaining a strong supply of mana for the golems, the golems also continued to recover.

“We’re ready, master!” (Fenrir)

“Good, attack it now!” Oz calls back all of his clones at the front lines and lets Fenrir and Reo use their forbidden magic to the demonic manticore.

“Forbidden magic, winter rose!” (Fenrir)

“Forbidden magic, the sphere of death!” (Reo)

Following Fenrir and Reo’s shouts, the demonic manticore suddenly got enveloped by a sphere of darkness that strangulate it with a terrifying force, the strong exoskeleton of the demonic manticore started to make a breaking sound. Following it, a dense amount of ice mana suddenly appeared, and in a split second, a tornado of ice surrounds him and suddenly stopped at a form of a rose.

Crack! Crack!

The one that is cracking is not only the ice rose but the demonic manticore’s body, too. The ice broke and the demonic manticore’s body also shattered into pieces, leaving a huge floating red magic core in the air. Seeing the sight, Oz smirked.

“It’s time,” (Oz)

Oz gathered his mana at his feet, making a deep black color aura surrounding his feet.

(Leap card, activate) (Oz)

“Leap…” (Oz)

Oz Leaped to the demonic manticore with terrifying speed.

Slash!

The demonic manticore’s magic core got split into half by his sword.

250>

(It evolved into a different type of card?”)

Oz heard some other prompts after that, prompts about his new clones ranked up, but he’s more curious about the manticore card that got evolved into the demonic manticore.

(Does it mean that if I found a stronger entity that has the same type with my card, it will evolve the same way as the manticore card did? Sweet!) (Oz)

“You really shocked me, master. What are your clones doing at this place?” Fenrir asked Oz as she reverts to her usual Siberian husky baby form.

“What am I doing? I’m gathering power, as my clones increased and get stronger, my power will get stronger too, and this dungeon is the perfect place for it,” (Oz)

“You’ve been controlling your clones from the distance all this time, master?” (Reo)

“Yea, well, let’s go to Aegir, I’ll leave my other clones here, so let’s go out of this dungeon, there is something I need to check,” (Oz)

“Roger that, hop on top of me, master,” (Reo)

“Hop on top of me, master. I’m more comfortable to ride rather than Reo,” Fenrir said as she transforms into her huge wolf form once more.

“That’s insulting, Fenrir! My fur is comfortable!” Reo growled.

“Don’t fight,” Oz said as he hops to Fenrir’s back.

“Wha!? Is it uncomfortable to ride on top of me, master?” Reo asked with a pleading expression. First, the face of a terrifying lion pleading to him doesn’t make him feel any pity at all, and second, Reo’s deep voice ruins all of his plans.

“I don’t think that I just hop at Fenrir on a hunch, let’s not waste any more time in this useless blabber, let’s go!” (Oz)

“”Yes!”” (Fenrir and Reo)

The three of them get out of the dungeon and went to Aegir’s house, only to found Aegir already waiting in front of his house.

“What are you doing, Aegir?” (Oz)

“Ren, you’re right. Your suspicion about the increasing of the magic beasts is true, this might be a huge threat for us!” (Aegir)
