Episode 119 - Tracking the Bandits
Previously:
Upon entering the world of her exaoal of the exa several bandits Orie Tonrai, her exaives Elaru a map of the area which allows her to narron the potential whereabouts of the bandits Elaru decides to quickly fly over the area and detect the bandits through her mana sense
Orie’s eyebrows furrowed even e travel Will you be alright?”
If it were used for long distance travel, the e would have to constantly recast the spell which would both require a large a very
Elaru blinked her long black eyelashes charly ”I think you misunderstood I don’t intend to run on air”
As if to prove her point, Elaru’s body started floating upwards, startling Orie
”Why would I run when I can fly? The speed I can reach with Acceleration is a whole order ofspeed”
Orie gasped at floating Elaru, finally understanding the purpose of this whole talk This exa for tracks to find the bandits, Elaru intended to fly over the entire region sweeping it with her mana sense!
”Uh… that is to say… you are not going to look for tracks??” Orie’s wide honey eyes stared at Elaru flabbergasted Her left hand involuntarily flew up, tucking one of the stray strands of hair behind her ear This…! This…? This method also works??In fact, Orie wasn’t the only person with a du exas from several dozen meters aere also quite colorful
They had prepared a co techniques, containing twists and turns and false leads
Yet…in the end…their examinee would just skip it all and solve the problem by brute force??
Didn’t they waste all that ti?!
The face of Thaddeus Iphis, the peacekeeper who had explained the mission to Elaru Wayvin earlier, stood frozen with his jaw stiff and his gray eyes unusually narrowed
Next to hied elibu, who looked as if a blow of the ould be enough to snap her like a twig She was usually the calreen eyes Yet now, her phlegmatic disposition cracked with a soft tre black braid seemed to slump
The only examiner who didn’t have a constipated expression was Zerel Reysic, who chuckled in delight, his eyes narrowing into crescent moons due to his wide s method, wouldn’t you say so?”
No one responded to his question
”Um… are you sure this ork? What if the bandits are concealing their presence?” Orie voiced her protest
Elaru tsk-tsked as if Orie said soes who can perfectly conceal their presence don’t grow on trees If they were so capable, they wouldn’t need to resort to petty thievery”
The redhead chuckled softly before continuing ”But for the sake of argu their presence wouldn’t make them vanish They would still be very much corporeal Their rass to be traewithout any apparent reason”
”The range of their concealment should cover their immediate vicinity You wouldn’t be able to feel the branches or the grass until they walk past theood-naturedly
If the bandits wrapped their minds around themselves to cover up their aura, then it would also cover any e in their vicinity,them invisible for mana sense
Elaru’s eyes twinkled ht be the case, but wouldn’t it be evenin and out of existence?”
If their e that entered their conceale exiting the range of their concealment would suddenly become visible
Orie opened and closed her mouth several times In theory, Elaru’s method was possible, but in practice, whose h to pick up such se forest?
Orie wanted to argue but couldn’t quite find the right words to express her thoughts She dreaded she would say so potentially insensitive or unkind
After several seconds of indecisiveness, she settled on: ”Will you be alright? Enhancing the precision of your ”
Elaru shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly ”It’s only for a short while It won’t tire me out at all”
”That’s good” Orie didn’t persist on the topic further, deciding to pursue another train of thought ”To be able to find the movements of bandits in such a way, your abilities are worthy of ad still?”
”Then they would be even easier to find” Elaru declared confidently, herinto a small smirk
If Orie had been an elibu, her ears would have surely drooped at the state that fell was her shoulders
She displayed a helpless s for Elaru to explain
”If they had set up ca it glaringly obvious Creatures would vacate their vicinity and avoid corass around the Not to mention that if they set camp, there would be equips, and who knohat else It would be a lot of effort to conceal it all And if they don’t conceal it, I will be able to feel the difference in mana density of their equipment and the air around it”
”And if they are treading carefully? Flying invisible above the forest?” Even Orie are that she was grasping at straws here, but she still clung to hope
Hope that crumbled as soon as Elaru’s playful sh to both turn invisible and conceal their presence perfectly, you guys wouldn’t have been able to catch any sign of them, let alone follow the so their pet? Don’t tell me they were bored and decided to play a prank?”
Orie hung her head in sha another strand of her hair behind her ear She couldn’t bring herself to say anything else Even the examiners weren’t allowed to direct how the examinee tackled the problems presented in the practical exam
