Otherworld Adventure

Tier 6 was the highest tiered spell on the 4th floor. If they wanted 7th tier or higher spells then they would have to enter the 5th or 6th floor of the library.

Since there was no other higher tiered fire magic spells, Lucia decided on learning the Inferno spell. She had other originals that, in her opinion, were better than the Inferno spell. She could have chosen a combat skill instead, but took Inferno just wanted so that she could perhaps use it as reference for a new original spell.

Fina had chosen a tier 4 spell from the 3rd floor called Hailstorm. Ainz chose one from the 3rd floor as well. Despite his arrogant remark of saying he"d only choose one from the 4th floor, the boy was left with no other choice since the spells on the 4th floor were mostly tier 5 or 6 spells.

Eli chose a tier 5 combat skill called Ground Shrinker from the 4th floor. It was the enhanced version of the tier 3 Shukuchi.

As they were heading down to meet up with Cecil, Velicia, Eli"s roommate, b.u.mped into them and delivered some appalling news.

"WHAT? Cecil"s been taken?!" Lucia exclaimed in surprise.

"Y-yes... apparently he did something that disrespected the Spirit Sage... I can"t believe a Sage is actually present in our school! But what I can"t even fathom however is how the heck did Cecil p.i.s.s one of them off! They"re called Sages for a reason y"know!" Velicia said puzzled.

"Tsk... what did that idiot do this time...?" Lucia muttered gloomily. She was upset that some old dude took custody of Cecil.

"L-Lucia! Don"t do anything rash okay! Maybe it"s not that big of a problem. Knowing Cecil, there"s no way he would cause problems for no reason..." Fina said, trying to dissuade Lucia from acting rashly.

She already had an inkling of what her friend was going to do. Knowing Lucia, she would fearlessly stomp her way into the core area and take Cecil back from the clutches of the Sage, even if she had to offend the Sage in question.

Indeed it was just as Fina feared. The only thoughts going through Lucia"s head at the moment was to take Cecil back from the Spirit Sage no matter the cost. She had already learned of how powerful these Sages were from her mother, but even then she wouldn"t cower.

"It"s always Cecil saving me, so now it"s my turn to return the favor," Lucia mumbled. "Even if this Spirit Sage is as strong as what my mother says, I don"t care."

On their way down to the first floor, they met up with other students and they were directing weird glances at their group.

This was mostly due to the fact that Lucia was emitting a very deadly aura around her and the fact that a person from their clique had caused some trouble that even caused him to be taken away by the administrator of the Library, the ill.u.s.trious Spirit Sage.

When they got to the first floor, Lucia looked around to see that most of the students had gathered and were waiting to exit the library.

Lucia saw the instructors currently discussing something very seriously together. She only took a short glance at them and walked deeper into the first floor.

Fina was worriedly following behind her while Eli was trying to talk Lucia out of what she was doing.

"Lucia, please don"t do it, we know Cecil"s important to you, but it"s not like anything bad may happen to him! Even a Sage wouldn"t punish a junior too harshly. So, let"s stop okay? We shouldn"t cause any more problems! What happens if it affects Cecil in a bad way?"

"...what do you think I"m going to do anyway?"

"...you"re probably going to storm into the core area and send a lava bolt at the Sage if he doesn"t return Cecil?" Eli said in monotone.

"What kinda person do you think I am?"

"Oh, so you"re not going to that then?"

They arrived at the door to the core area, other students were intrigued at their actions so some of them followed after the group. The instructors also saw this and turned to look at what was up, only to see Cecil"s group of friends currently standing in front of the door to the core area.

Lucia then said with a bright smile, "I"m only going to apologize for Cecil and ask the sage to release him and if we could do anything to mend the problem then we"ll do it! That"s all, really!"

Fina and Eli sighed in relief while Ainz smirked. The instructors who were just about to stop the group from entering through the door hesitated when they heard Lucia"s words. It was indeed better for them to apologize.

"Yeah right, from what Cecil"s told me about you, there"s no way that"s the only thing you"ll do." Ainz thought silently, there was no way he would actually say that since it would only result in him getting burns and bruises.

"And if that doesn"t work..." Lucia"s eyes turned sharp and she quickly turned around and kicked the door open... that"s right... she kicked the door to the core area open.

"What the?!"

"LUCIA!" Fina and Eli exclaimed in unison.

"I"ll take him back by force!" Lucia declared loudly.

"I knew it." Ainz mumbled, he expected this and in his opinion this option seemed much more fun!

After kicking the door open, Lucia stomped her way into the core area of the library"s first floor.

"CECIL?! Where are you?!"

Lucia looked around and saw that there were only shelves and desks in the room with scrolls and books strewn and piled up all over the place.

She activated a sensing spell and found 2 heat signatures in the room beyond the room they were currently in.

Lucia then made her way through the room and down into the corridor that led deeper into the area.

Ainz happily followed behind while Fina and Eli were rooted down on their spot at Lucia"s brazen entrance. The students were and instructors were equally dumbfounded at the spectacle.

It was only after Lucia and Ainz disappeared into the corridor did they snap out of their daze and chase after them. Velicia who was taking in the sight of the unusual occurrence happening in front of her quickly chased after them when the students around her started making a racket.

The instructors quickly snapped out of their daze and quickly prevented any more students from intruding into the core area. The other S cla.s.s students who were observing from a ways away were still dumbfounded at the odd event that just happened.

Their 2nd ranked student in cla.s.s was taken away by the Sage for causing trouble and now the 1st ranked student was on her way to rescue him... what the h.e.l.l was happening? That was the only thoughts that spun around in their heads.

When the instructors finally settled the area down, they urged instructor Jin to follow after his students and make sure no more problems sprung up, though it was too late by now since Lucia had already caused a large commotion when she kicked open the door and started yelling.

Lucia was running deeper into the area to the place where she sensed the two heat signatures were at.

"Don"t worry Cel... I"ll definitely save you!"

Lucia began circulating her mana and activated Elemental Burst. With her body enhanced, she kicked off the ground and dashed into the room.

Ainz who was beside her was surprised at Lucia"s abrupt maneuver. He sprinted forwards, but then heard chuckling and laughter coming from the room ahead.

Lucia who had dashed into the room was about to unsheathe Shirayuki, only to stop abruptly in place when she saw the Sage... and Cecil.

"Ahahaha! Who knew that you had such a technique! Intriguing, very intriguing! The younger generation really is progressing in a good way! Ahahaha!"

"No, Elder! I mean, it"s not that big of a deal! Even you can learn it if you want!"

"Ahahaha, I"d be welcome to it, but I"m too old now!"

"No way Elder! In my opinion you"re still in your late prime!"

The Sage and Cecil were currently sitting around a table laughing and chatting merrily. Lucia"s abrupt entrance had startled Cecil and the Sage and they turned their head towards her, right at the time when Ainz had also run into the room.

"Oh, who"s this young lady?"

"Oh! Elder, this is the girl I was talking about earlier! The one who could do what I can do! She"s Lucia! My best friend and you can also call her my disciple!"

"Ah, so this is the girl!"

"Huh?" Lucia gawked in confusion. What"s this? This isn"t what she imagined the situation Cecil would be in!

From the words of the students and Velicia"s report, Cecil was angrily dragged by the Sage into the core area with words like, "I"m going to teach this ignorant fool a lesson" and "This insolent fool has disrespected me and this library!"

So what the heck is with this spectacle?! Cecil was supposed to be beaten up or something, he was supposed to be "taught a lesson" by the Sage, wasn"t he?

Ainz could only stare back at the Sage and Cecil in puzzlement as well. Not long after, Fina, Eli, and Velicia ran into the room, panting.

"Oh! Everyone"s come too? Hey, guys!" Cecil greeted the group with a smile.
