Chapter 268: Magical Expo (2)
Beneath the full moon, in the library of the Imperial University, Yeriel was secretly studying magic. Hadecaine had started to weigh on her lately—so she’d slipped back to the Capital, if only for a little while.
The reason, of course, was the Altar’s attack on the Imperial Palace. Ever since, Yeriel had been living each day with her nerves stretched thin.
Of course, no one would dare ask Yukline to prove their bloodline, but that might not last forever, Yeriel thought.
"... Hoo. I’ll finish the rest later," Yeriel muttered.
Around ten, Yeriel packed up her things and dragged her feet out onto the university field. As expected, several escort knights kept their watch in the shadows—given the state of things.

Yeriel was on her way back to Deculein’s mansion when she suddenly spotted a familiar group of mages—Epherene, Maho, Drent, and the other members of the Common Magic Research Club.

“I mean, Ephie—why not just bolt it with something tough?”
“If we do that, it will be too heavy to lift off.”
“What if we just go for Optimization?”
