“Thank you, Shenna.” Phelps spoke without looking behind him, though he did smile slightly. The White Brigade’s vice captain, Shenna, acknowledged his words with a bow then vanished into the darkness.

Blockade Lifted

The next morning, Ryo’s schedule was immediately thrown into chaos. It started in the guild’s dining hall. He went there to eat breakfast because he wanted to spend the rest of his morning in the city’s northern library.

He arrived at his usual time, just a bit past seven o’ clock, but there weren’t any breakfast items left. “Everything is sold out already?” he asked.

“I’m sorry, Ryo. Those scholars and inspectors from the capital took everything with ’em. I’m headin’ to the market shortly to buy everything I need for lunch and dinner, so those meals shouldn’t be a problem. But...again, I’m sorry, to you and the others.”

The head chef bowed his head apologetically, a change of attitude from his usual cheeriness in the kitchen. He was of course a former C-rank adventurer himself, slightly older than the guild master. To the young adventurers, he was like a father figure who always cooked delicious food for them. When a man like him bowed his head, they couldn’t criticize him. On the other hand, the adventurers’ impressions of the group of academics only worsened since they were responsible for forcing the head chef to act like this.

Research teams were dispatched from the royal capital whenever something unusual occurred within the country. They were sent to investigate the cause and course of the event then determine a forecast for the next event. The research teams consisted of a variety of individuals, often scholars from the Royal Central University and researchers from the University of Magic. Sometimes, royal magicians made up the core of the research teams as well.

Almost a decade had passed since the last Great Tidal Bore and the latest outbreak in the Central Province’s sole dungeon had been the most massive in recorded history, which explained the size of the enormous research team dispatched to Lune on this occasion. Never before had such a large group of surveyors been sent before. Usually, the Royal Central University, University of Magic, and Bureau of Royal Magicians simply sent as many people as each organization could spare.

They had mobilized five thousand people in total.

Research teams usually consisted of fifty people, no more than a hundred at most. So five thousand meant...that all of the city’s lodgings were strained at full capacity. The members of this enormous research team who hadn’t been able to secure rooms inside the city were mostly low-level personnel, luggage carriers, and guards. They unfortunately had been forced to camp right outside Lune.

“The hell do you mean?!” Hugh yelled, his voice reverberating throughout his office.

Three of the research team’s top brass were in front of him:

Clive Staples, president of the Royal Central University.

Christopher Blatt, head instructor at the University of Magic.

Arthur Berasus, advisor at the Bureau of Royal Magicians.

All three were considered bigwigs in the royal capital’s scholarly realm, particularly the president of the Royal Central University who had taken charge of the research team.
