Chapter 352
A fierce wind grazed my face. Not a sliver of moonlight reached us, so we had to run by relying on Magic Power and the ground. Even though we'd installed Sound Insulation Magic along the path we ran, I couldn't help feeling anxious about whether the sound of us cutting through the air would reach the enemy.
The people running with me now included Leo and Mecklenburg along with the entire 98th Class Team A—plus the Papal State's Divine Power mage assigned to them—and Alexandra Schumacher of the 91st Class A. The rest of the 101st had merged with the 91st A.
Alexandra Schumacher and the others were trailing behind at a distance, prepared for attack, while Mecklenburg, who had the most field experience, led the way directly ahead of me, and Leo was at my left.
I slowed slightly and asked Alexandra Schumacher, who had been following behind.
"Your Excellency Schumacher. Can you move oxygen separately as a unique ability?"
"Hmm, I don't understand the academic principles behind this ability well enough to intentionally do that, but… my ability likely has a strong connection to oxygen among the gases that make up the atmosphere. I've occasionally blown up the training grounds, so that probably confirms my guess, doesn't it?"
Blown up the training grounds? What a headache of a student that must have been…. The meaningful point was that she could generate wind like Adelbert, so even if she couldn't isolate individual gases, it wouldn't be a major issue—but if she could, it was naturally all the more advantageous, so this was a welcome development. Then Alexandra Schumacher asked in a serious voice.
"I've caused enough incidents that I rarely use my unique ability. Outside of special operations, even my comrades often forget about it. So how did you know about my ability?"
