I'll Smash Everything with Passive Skills

"Yes."

"If you're a mage, don't you have a deep understanding of artifacts from the Age of Magic or the Ancient Era?"

"Well, that would be the case."

Gunther nodded at Veris's voice, which somewhat lightened the heavy atmosphere.

"Then we should investigate together."

Gunther's face showed confusion at Veris's declaration.

"Investigate, you say?"

"The place we saw in the dungeon we entered before. I feel like there's something more there."

Only after the explanation did Gunther understand why Veris had brought it up.

The city they encountered while cleaning the academy's underground dungeon in the past. Veris had returned with only the ring.

Naturally, there was no need for Veris to act that way. He had decided to return out of concern that his companions might get hurt.
