Nina's Journey (Ninas resa)

Labyrinth and Magic Gunner

I never would've thought I had the ability to copy magic.

Maybe I'll get to be a super protagonist who can use all magic!

No, you won't!

I can't believe you...

You can only copy someone's "vessel."

You need to figure out what sort of process it takes to do it.

Oh, well.

I guess it won't be that eas—

Why is everyone asleep?

Hey, Selina.

Wake up.

Maybe everyone's boycotting your class?

What?! That can't be...

You need to shape up, Lilith.

This is what happens when you neglect your duty as a teacher.

I'm not neglecting my duty!

No, this is something else.

It's a breakdown phenomenon.

All the students without strong magic such as yours have fallen asleep.

Basically, that's what's going on here.

So on that note...

Let's go mess with the cute chicks sleeping out there!

Looks like it's time for me to get ser—

You didn't have to hit us, Lilith-chan.

What if I start to like it?

Stop messing around!

This is stupid.

Let's go, Akio.

We just have to get rid of the breakdown phenomenon, right?

Y-Yeah.

You should all work together and—

No.

Huh?

The two of us are enough to handle this.

Later.

What? Did she fall in love with me?

You're pretty egotistical, aren't you?

It wouldn't hurt to show off a little more yourself, you know.

Like letting you see me naked again?

You can't do that!

This is pretty difficult.

Actually, Headmaster...

Huh?

Is this really a breakdown phenomenon?

Yeah.

There's powerful magic overflowing from beneath the school.

Beneath the school?

You mean... Yui-san?

Isn't Yui...

that girl who has the second best body after Lilith?

Don't remember me just for my body!

That's correct.

She lives in the dungeon beneath the school.

Her magic has run amok, which is causing this.

You have a dungeon here?

This is a magic academy, after all.

This place is pretty creepy.

Normally, it's just an ordinary giant labyrinth.

It's probably all Yui's doing.

She's about to awaken.

Awaken? Is she asleep?

Yui-san is a mage who lives

on the other side of this world, in the world of dreams.

And that's her Thema.

That's why she's sealed.

Sealed?

She has cardinalism magic.

She's the second most powerful person here, after the headmaster.

Because of her great power,

she'll eventually put the world itself to sleep.

What does it mean for the world to fall asleep?

Well, in simple terms, the world is destroyed.

It's very possible that she was influenced

by the demon lord candidate because she met Arata.

Which means that this breakdown phenomenon

is my fault, too?

It's okay.

We can still fix this.

Lilith...

Come on.

Let's find her before Mira-san and Akio-san do.

Why?

One of Grimoire Security's duties

is reformatting breakdown phenomena,

and destroying the impurity that caused it.

If they find Yui-san, they're sure to destroy her.

Got it. Let's hurry.

It's dangerous where we're going.

Everybody shift to Magus mode.

Right.

Oh, looks like somebody's come to greet us.

What are those things?

Demons.

They appear where magic is in flux, or during breakdown phenomena.

They're beings from another dimension.

They come to eat magic and its wielders.

Which means...

That gun from before will come in handy?

What's wrong, Arata?

How do I do that, again?

Hey, grimoire.

Turn into that gun from before, would you?

Gun?

What was that thing made of, again?

Hey, you did it so easily last time!

You remember!

Shall I put up a barrier so they can't get close?

Please do.

Here we go!

Yeah! This is the— Huh?

Was this how it looked?

Well, whatever.

Here I go!

Huh?

What? Hey, nothing's happening!

Work! Work!

Stupid thing!

H-Huh?

Wh-What are you doing, Arata?

You're useless.

This is bad.

The barrier...

I get it.

I undid Lilith and Arin's Magus mode.

Arata-san.

It's dangerous, so stay down.

Let's hurry.

Ninjas are pretty amazing, aren't they?

Levi-san's abilities are top class.

She's probably one of the top five mages at fighting.

Are all of the Trinity Seven like that?

But she's a little different this time.

You're right.

Maybe Yui is special to her somehow.

I think we've come pretty far...

It's gotten a lot darker.

You're right.

What do you think you're touching under the cover of darkness, Arata?

This size and softness... It's Lilith, isn't it?

What makes you think you can...

Hey, Arata!

Where are you sticking your hand into?

It's not me!

Actually, something's inside my clothes, too!

In the name of Ruina,

I execute the macro recorded in the grimoire Ragna-Yggdrasil.

Tiwaz.

Ah, no, not there!

Awesome!

That's my Chaosic Ruin.

Hey, grimoire.

My power is copying, right?

Try doing what she just did.

I haven't achieved Process 1, so that's impossible.

Pro... what?

Process.

It seems certain rules have to be fulfilled

if you want to use someone else's magic.

You just happened to clear them last time.

I see.

What's the rule?

That I've seen their boobs?

You've seen my boobs.

True.

This is pretty difficult.

Stop saying "boobs" over and over when we're in a place like this!

You're saying it more than anybody.

Your magic is pretty handy, Arin.

I just wrote it into my grimoire

and registered it as a macro.

Eihwaz.

A defense spell.

I don't want the shadows playing with you.

Thanks, Arin!

Yeah.

Anyway, you need to learn macros and spells, Arata.

If you register a macro in your grimoire and chant a spell,

the registered magic will take effect.

I'd appreciate it if you could master it quickly.

To save Yui-san,

we need the power you have

that can erase breakdown phenomena.

Really?

My Thema is expectation, by the way.

So I'm expecting great things from you, demon lord candidate.

Now then,

we're almost at the lowest level.

It was surprisingly simple to get here.

Shadows that weak couldn't beat Levi-san
