Everything went black for a moment, and then, an endless grid manifested around him—the Astral Garden’s space.

I just can’t get used to this feeling…

Frowning, he looked down at his body, finding he was now a fluffy raccoon. This was the avatar he typically used in Excalibur Academy’s training sessions. Regina set it for him on the day of his first session, and it’s been left unchanged since.

“Leo, you’re so cute. ”

Leonis turned around upon hearing that voice and saw Riselia sitting on a floating cube around him. Her avatar was a beautiful, four-winged fairy.

“So this is the Phillet’s garden…” Leonis got up and looked around.

This virtual world was made up of a grid and occupied with thousands upon tens of thousands of floating cubes. Each cube was a block of condensed data.

“Looking for Miss Finé’s cat here will be difficult.”

The longer they took, the more likely the risk of them being discovered became.

“There are security Artificial Elementals patrolling about. Remain vigilant.” Schwertleite’s voice echoed in their heads.

“All right. Let’s go, Leo.”

Riselia pulled Leonis’s arm and flew off.

After a while…

“Kitty? Come out!” Riselia called out in a whisper, flying between the cubes. In terms of time, it felt like thirty minutes or so had passed.

“Kitty?” Riselia called out, clapping her hands.

“It’s not a real cat, Miss Selia…,” Leonis whispered, but then—

“Master, hostiles detected,” Schwertleite warned them.

A few cubes burst, turning into bird-shaped Artificial Elementals.

“Fwhaa?!”

The flock of birds attacked Riselia’s transparent wings. The torn off wings turned into particles of light and vanished.

“Miss Selia!” Leonis hopped over to a cube and extended his racoon paw. “I’ll reduce you to ash. Third-order spell, Vras Raiga!”

But the spell didn’t activate.

…Of course it doesn’t work; this is virtual space!

The screeching birds pecked at his fluffy head and tail.

C-curses…!

Leonis swung his arms about, batting away the birds.

“What are you doing, Leo?! Let’s run!” Riselia picked up Leonis’s body and flew off.

B-blast it all! A Dark Lord turning his back on an enemy…!

But he was powerless in this virtual space, and Riselia likewise couldn’t use her Holy Sword. On the other hand, even if their avatars were destroyed here, it would cause them no harm whatsoever, but their remains could be used to trace the intruders’ whereabouts back to Excalibur Academy.

“I will assist, Master,” said Schwertleite’s voice.

Orbs of light appeared in the space around them, producing a spherical flash of light that destroyed the bird Artificial Elementals.

“Wow, Leite!” Riselia said in amazement.

But then, a blaring alarm filled the garden. The cubes burst, producing more bird Artificial Elementals.

“It looks like that raised the alarm level…”

“Maybe we should retreat for now?”

“…Yes, I think so.” Leonis nodded, hopping atop the cubes.

The sound of the birds’ screeching grew louder and louder. But just then, Leonis faintly heard it.

Meow…

“…?!”

Riselia and Leonis exchanged a look.

“Leite, are there any reactions of Artificial Elementals nearby that aren’t these birds?”

“—Identified. Preparing a shortcut.”

An orb of light floating in the air fired a flash, tearing diagonally through a wall in the grid and leaving behind a red tear.
