Chapter 38: Unexpected Situation
“It’s cleaner inside than I expected.”
The moment I entered the maze, I found myself muttering the kind of line that just randomly pops into your head. Glancing around for no reason, I continued moving deeper inside.
—Gwooooo...
Thick smoke, a product of space-expanding magic that had enlarged the maze far beyond the original size of the exam hall, clouded my vision. But unlike the students who would follow soon after, I had something I could rely on.
“Let’s see... the designated position for the proctor is... Sector D, I think.”
Proctors were given a map embedded with a tracking spell that showed real-time updates of the maze and creature locations.
—Sir Whitney, can you hear me?
“Yes, I hear you.”
—Confirmed. If anything unusual occurs, we’ll relay it to you immediately.
On top of that, I had a crystal orb that kept me in contact with the faculty outside monitoring the maze’s full condition. At the very least, I didn’t need to worry about getting lost.
“This really feels like playing a dungeon RPG with a map hack turned on...”
But then again, just because I couldn’t get lost didn’t mean I could let my guard down.
