I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

It can be said that using only the Gate of Babylon for bombing operations would be extremely extravagant and wasteful.

Since it can be taken back anyway, it doesn't matter if we play around with it like this.

"Oh my gosh..." Jill spotted a strangely packaged book, took it down... and opened it—

Put it back in.

He slowly took it off, then shoved it back in faster than anyone else.

This made Enkidu give a strange look.

“…Never mind, Enkidu.” Gil sighed. “Let’s continue searching for those books.”

Enkidu was forcibly dragged away by Gilles.

……

More than an hour later, Jill sat on the floor reading several books.

They're all books related to spirit magic, but...

After looking at them for a while, Jill stuffed them all back in.

No results.

Jill sighed helplessly.

"Let's go, Enkidu... It's time to go back and rest today."

"Hi~"

So Jill left the innermost part of the library and walked outwards.

"Have you heard? The Fire Cat and Ice Demon from the Raven Class are fighting again..."

"Yes, yes, and it's all because of that black-haired male elf..."

Gildon stopped in his tracks.

Well, my apprentice... I know what happened to you without you even asking me...

"And...I heard you had a fight with the leader of the Wind King Knights?"

"Really? That's really..."

Jill narrowed her eyes. "There's trouble again."

Chapter 181 You guys fight, I'll just watch.

Back in the dormitory, as expected, I saw a frowning Lian and a somewhat shy Claire.

"It really is true..." Jill sighed deeply. "Although it was expected, your ability to cause trouble exceeded my expectations."

"This...this is all the fault of this slave elf!" Claire lashed out at Lian.

“God, you tell me. I won’t be surprised no matter what you say,” Jill sighed.

"Huh? Who is she?" Claire asked when she saw Enkidu.

“Well… he’s my best friend.” Gil sat down and said, “He’s also my contracted spirit.”

As a result, Claire and Ren's gazes towards Enkidu changed.

“Master, what about these past four years…” Lian suddenly remembered something and asked.

“Yes, it’s all about finding her.” Jill nodded.

Elves are also divided into levels. The lowest level elves only look like specks of light, while higher level elves can transform into physical forms, such as some animals.

And then there's the highest-ranking spirit.

The highest-ranking elves have an appearance indistinguishable from humans, but their temperaments are all different.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that... high elves each have their own personality and only recognize those they approve of.

The most typical highest-ranking spirit—

In Jill's mind, there was only one.

That was the dark elf girl with twilight-colored eyes, Ren's contracted spirit, Restia Ashdor.

Jill clapped her hands. "Alright, stop changing the subject. What's wrong with that long face?"

Although she looks only a year or two older than Ren and Claire, Jill has truly experienced the dark side of politics, and her mental age is far more mature than Ren's.

"Is such that……"

So Lian recounted what had happened.

“Well… that’s it,” Ren added.

Because Lian's appearance in men's clothing aroused the interest of Claire and another young lady, they started arguing and ended up fighting, accidentally injuring Alice in the process...

Finally, Alice challenged to a duel...

What a ridiculous plot twist.

Jill covered her face. "God, solve your own problems."

“But…they want a four-on-four team battle,” Lian said.

“Simple, you take on all four of them by yourself,” Jill ordered directly. “You can do it, right?”

“But Master…” Lian scratched her head, “I didn’t bring any of the knives you gave me.”

“…” Jill fell silent.

With a "whoosh," Gilles pulled out his sword, a Noble Phantasm of only C rank, and stuck it on the table. "Take it."

“You guys fight, I’ll just watch,” Jill said.

"Um... okay... alright..." Lian could only nod.

"Huh? How can we win if Jill won't help us?" So Lian was pulled aside by Claire and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Master is very competitive. If we show any signs of being unable to hold on, he will take action immediately," Lian replied softly.

Of course, at that point, Master would surround us all within the bombing range...

Lian didn't say those words aloud.

"Stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside?" Claire pointed in Jill's direction.

"A little bit," Lian didn't deny it.

"……All right."

"Haven't you two had dinner yet?" Jill asked.

"Okay, I'll go get it right away." Lian nodded.

"You can cook?" Claire asked in a somewhat incredulous tone.

“My master taught me.” Lian looked at Jill sitting in the chair. “More than half of my skills are from my master’s teachings.”

"Alright, hurry up and stop talking nonsense." Jill stood up. "I'll help you too."

……

So after dinner, it gradually got late at night.

Two in the morning—the students of the academy are already asleep, and the forest spirits are just about to begin their stirrings.

Lian and Jill walked along the moonlit stone path, following closely behind Claire.

"The atmosphere at the college is completely different at night."

"Nighttime is the time for elves, so of course it's different."

Claire walked forward without turning her head, answering indifferently.

“At night, many elves who don’t like daytime activities become more active, so it’s normal for the atmosphere to be different,” Gil sighed. “Seriously, I’m so sleepy.”

Claire hasn't said a word since just now.

Perhaps it was because he was about to duel with the Knights that he felt a little nervous.

Jill and Lian, on the other hand, chatted casually.

"Where do you plan to duel?" Lian asked.

Private duels are strictly prohibited within the academy. Are there dueling arenas outside?

“That’s it—” Claire stopped and pointed to the giant stone circle.

“That’s—the gate to the Elf Realm…” Lian clicked her tongue.

“That’s right. This door connects to the Elemental Spirit Realm, which is why the academy was built in such a remote place.”

Gil stepped forward. "But because the places connected are all low-level elves, it's very safe here, don't worry."

Jill stepped forward and began chanting the incantation to activate the gate.

Lian and Claire stood beside Jill, and a white light shone. Then, after a moment of dizziness—

What appeared before Jill was a scene from another world.

In the dark and gloomy forest, there stood trees that were severely twisted and deformed.

The crimson moon, like fresh blood, shone brightly in the night sky.

A pale purple mist filled the surroundings, rising slowly into the air like smoke.

In the realm of elemental spirits, spirit users can make further changes, using contracted spirits simply as divine energy.

Under such circumstances, the physical body inhabited by the divine energy is equivalent to the spirit itself, and therefore will hardly suffer any physical damage.

However, this approach is not 100% safe.

You will still feel pain from the injury, and although your body may not be injured, you will suffer the same level of psychological trauma.

If you only faint in this situation, you're lucky. But in severe cases, it can cause severe memory impairment, followed by complete mental breakdown, and you may never regain consciousness.

“Alright, lead the way.” Jill took out the floating lantern, lit it, and infused it with magic to make it follow Claire.

Claire nodded and walked forward.
