On the dark streets of Springs, Ronald is walking to his apartment in the riverside district.

Today's large cost of customizing items, newly acquired spellcasting ability......

These things used to affect his mood.

Now he can't be moved at all.

While strolling along the banks of the Vis River, Ronald rummaged through his pockets and pulled out an Inquisitor's School Mark.

"It's so caring......"

The school mark that Ronald used to be a temporary worker has naturally been returned with his departure, but the school mark he took from the investigator traitor in his hand has always been with him.

Judging by the lines engraved on it, the difference between the school mark used by this investigator and the mark of his temporary worker was only the difference in the incantation written.

The temporary worker's imprint is a simple polygraph entry.

The investigator, on the other hand, is the number of a volume.

In this way, perhaps the engraved spell itself is just a variable, and what keeps the school mark and the connection with the original canon is the completely unchanged pattern around it anyway.

So what is the secret of this pattern......

With unprecedented seriousness, Ronald looked carefully at the school sigil in his hand, and in fact, when he carefully distinguished, he could see that this texture did not have the same integrity as ordinary decorative patterns.

Although the distorted lines intersect, there are still many hidden breakpoints.

If you look at these lines separately according to the breakpoints......

Trying to look at it separately, Ronald can barely make out a symbol that resembles the deformed letter 'F'.

Something to do with the Roman alphabet?

I want to deduce the truth from this little thing alone.

It's really a bit reluctant, and it may even be completely deviant from the truth.

Sniffing the night breeze blowing on the Vis River, Ronald shook his head regretfully as he put the school sigil back in his pocket:

"Sure enough, there is still a lack of control samples."

"If we can get the imprint of other schools, maybe we can know more things."

While sighing, Ronald was also thinking about his next actions in his heart.

Springs has only been here for a few days.

There's a lot more to it.

In addition to the mysterious force in which Elva is located, which has successfully developed into a hostile relationship, he has another task that needs to trace the past history.

In this world, do you have to do archaeology yourself?

Ronald couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this, he hadn't forgotten how he had crossed over.

Obviously, I just went to the underground ruins to collect the information.

As a result, the ruins were destroyed by an earthquake, and then sent themselves on a trip.

After experiencing such a thing, it is difficult for a normal person to like such a job as archaeology.

"That's right......"

While analyzing his situation, Ronald muttered, and then gently rubbed the silver ring on his index finger with his thumb.

The silver ring does not have any outward reaction or change.

And in the absence of carved patterns or added ornaments, there are no unnecessary changes.

I have to describe it.

It looks like a simple hoop.

Of course, this kind of thing does not affect Ronald from boarding the abilities obtained in the [Mercury Heavenly Trial]. Just like in the Divine Comedy, the archarchic angel who resides in the sky of Mercury gives him the power to manipulate things.

With just a light rub, Ronald fully understood his new abilities.

- Control of objects.

This is also the ability that Malcolm used in the first place.

However, unlike when he was hostile, tonight, as a user of spells, Ronald has a clearer understanding of the specifics of this ability.

- Five-second activation interval.

- Cannot be applied to living objects.

- Can only target one type of object within the cast range, and cannot destroy the structure of the object itself.

Aside from the time limit, the other two restrictions are very subtle.

They are both the limitations of this ability and the effect of the ability itself.

The inability to use this ability on living objects limits the spell's direct attack on the human body, and explains the reason why Malcolm was only trying to tear down the train that night, but not using this ability against Ronald and them.

And only one type of object can be targeted at a time, and the structure cannot be destroyed......

This one is quite interesting.

With the Vis River next to him, Ronald simply put it to the test.

The thumb gently rubbed the side of the ring, and the river that was originally flowing normally was instantly stopped by Ronald.

At the same time, he could feel that he could give the river a one-time power.

If Ronald had been willing, the wide Vis River would have been able to make a brief impact on this side at once.

Pretty good results.

And what about the ground......

Thinking so, Ronald rubbed the ring again, and the target of the spell shifted to the ground beneath his feet.

“……”

It worked very badly.

It's not that the soil can't be controlled, but after manipulating a layer of dirt on the ground, the soil at the bottom and out of sight cannot be driven.

"Is that so......"

While testing the spell, Ronald finally arrived at his rented apartment.

than when he went out and left.

It was already quite late at night, and the original canon's abilities told him the time very specifically.

...... from dawn

There were four hours, twenty-seven minutes, and sixteen seconds.

With that in mind, Ronald walked into the courtyard before going up the spiral staircase, then pushed the door back to his house.

Hanging his coat at the door, Ronald simply lay on the bed:

"It's time to rest again."

“……”

Since the crossing.

He's developed a very bad routine.

Now that you have time to rest, take a good rest.

As a result, the consciousness slowly fell into a deep sleep, and today's experience is purely viewed, and the harvest is also very good.

——

Early the next morning, Ronald was woken up from bed by a cautious voice.

Bang Bang

"Mr. Ronald, are you awake?"

“……”

Slowly opening his eyes, Ronald turned sideways to look at the balcony.

The direction of the sun was shining just right, and he knew it was morning without the hint of the original text's ability.

So, as he got up from his bed, he replied in a loud voice:

"I'm awake, what's the matter?"

With that, Ronald quickly walked to the door and opened the door.

What appeared in front of him was a maid whose attitude had become very cautious and completely absent from the previous openness.

And standing at the door, the maid looked at Ronald with complicated eyes.

She stood hesitantly for a few seconds before she asked:

"Mr. Ronald, do you still know the big names of the Nicklaus family? Just over the other side of the courtyard, a girl with long white blonde hair who calls herself 'Nicklaus' is waiting for you! ”

“……”

Ronald was dumbfounded.

Barely thinking about it, he walked past the maid and went downstairs!
