Kiel furrowed his eyebrows in thought “I think I saw a guidepost with such a naht It is a special place inside Muni” Elaru dra her eyes with Kiel’s “In fact, Replica Dungeon is the most precious place in the entire land of Halnea It is the reason why everyone is trying to enter Muni The reason why Muni ic and an incredible power to be reckoned with”
Kiel’s frown deepened “How come I haven’t heard any information about such an important place?”
“It is normal that you haven’t heard about it It is considered as one of Muni secrets And as a part of the Muni enrolln an arcane contract preventing you fro any of the Muni secrets to outsiders” Elaru comforted

Muni Exa behind only an occasional cloud Even so, the plaza in front of Muni was enveloped in a thick cloud A cloud of despair
The large board towering above the examinees was filled with over three hundred different numbers Numbers that caused some to break out in cheers while the majority broke out into mournful cries
Over five thousand examinees had applied for the exams, yet only a bit more than three hundred had passed the first round of the exaated into roups based on their chosen practical exa the three hundred, he couldn’t help but be elated He already knew that his number would be there, so it didn’t co it there with his oo eyes gave hi of pride and satisfaction
His nuroup would have the exaeon”
In fact, all of the groups, including Elaru’s 6th group, had their practical exaeon
After confirned timeslot, Kiel and Elaru waited for their exae Muni courtyard
To avoid any potential trouble, they traveled under the Invisibility barrier, and even chose an inconspicuous place in the courtyard to rest in They orried that the Shadow that attacked Kiel yesterday would come back for another attely no tie circular staircase located in the center of the university, that went deep underground
There were no holes from which one could jump down One had to walk down the stairs until they reached their floor
Thankfully, Kiel’s target was the fourth floor, so he didn’t need to descend for long before stopping in front of a large door
He turned towards Elaru only to see her shtly
She extended her fist towards him and this time, Kiel didn’t hesitate to extend his own fist towards hers, coht hi behind the handshake was clear Elaru still felt the need to add: “I’ll wait for you”

When Kiel walked through the entrance to the 4th floor of the Replica Dungeon what greeted him was a circular roo shaped chairs were placed inside the room Some of theainst the wall, while some of them were placed in a circle in the center of the rooainst each other
The white, shi+ny chairs created a sharp contrast with the walls and floors of the roohtness of the chairs momentarily blinded Kiel and he failed to notice the white person standing in front of the chairs
As his eyes adjusted to the light his breath caught in his throat
What stood in front of him was the most beautiful elibu feant sleeveless white dress that revealed her perfect curves in a modest manner and made her skin look even paler Her hair was as white as snow, looking like it was made from strands of silver It was styled up into a sophisticated hairstyle that looked classy enough to be worn on a ball, yet sih to be worn to work
