How have you been lately? I’ve been quite busy on my end, so my reply is a little late. I hope you don’t mind.
The pseudo-boss room smoke extraction system has undergone its first trial. In a 20-square-ter space with a height of 4 ters, it managed to extract all the smoke, eting expectations. Honestly, the results were even better than I anticipated.
However, achieving this effect significantly impacted the stability of certain fire magic. As it stands, only soone with witch-level fire magic proficiency can maintain it. It might require further adjustnts based on the Fla Dragon’s power output.
Thank you so much for your design blueprints and field research. Oh… although you asked last ti what I needed this for…
It’s probably so commoners can enjoy barbecue indoors?

“Unbelievable… you developed this just for barbecue? Should I say… as expected of you?”
“But…”
“Co to think of it, I haven’t had barbecue in ages…”
“What does it feel like to eat with friends?”

Year One, Winter, Entark Second Academy Library.
Shuna, wrapped in a thick gray scarf, gazed out the window at the season’s first snowfall. She opened the envelope she had retrieved from the mailroom.

With winter here, the heat-resistance training devices need an upgrade. Especially now that I’ve started researching the ancient magic Elental Ice Array, the previous heating devices are no longer effective for training.
I can tell from the increasingly relaxed expressions of the users and the reduced wear on the collars. Speaking of which, wasn’t it ti to replace the collars we discussed last ti?
This ti, I plan to have soone design the collars to be a bit more aesthetically pleasing.
By the way, instead of full-body steam like in saunas, are there other thods to create a heated environnt? I’m considering modifying the current setup.
You ntioned that Elental Ice Array had strong binding capabilities based on historical accounts? Is that true? I really need this! Send more details!
The goal is probably to restrain soone extrely powerful?

“Hmm… he keeps talking about collars. Are they for dogs? No, wait… dogs can’t learn ancient magic, can they?”
“Let see… the Ice Witch once used this binding function to restrain her lover for an entire year. The lover was a top adventurer of the ti, yet even he couldn’t break free.”
“…Does he really want to learn this? If soone were bound by it, they’d truly have no escape.”
“But for humanoid bosses, it would be an excellent control thod.”

Year Two, Spring, Entark Second Academy Football Field.
Shuna, wearing a light brown spring dress, stopped a flying soccer ball with a gentle lift of her foot. Leaning against a nearby tree, she opened a letter she had been holding onto for a while.

[To S:
Happy Spring. It’s the perfect season for camping. I went camping with friends this weekend. It was my first ti, even though it was just a small forest nearby.
If you’re interested, you should try it too!
Following up on our previous discussion about how blood mint essential oil enhances a witch’s magic circuits and how to increase power once the user has adapted…
I’ve co up with a new potion idea and outlined a thod to further enhance sensitivity.
Also, to create the legendary “Primordial Candle” rumored among witches, a key component is the wick. Do you have any ideas on where to find one?
Oh, and I recently noticed witches’ eyes are quite unique. I sketched them out. Maybe it’s because I’ve been stared at by witches a lot lately?
W]

“…Hmm, you’re not seriously thinking the current power isn’t enough, are you?”
“This drawing of a witch’s eye… did he get this from a real one?”
“Didn’t I warn him not to ss with witches? It’s dangerous.”
“Ah, whatever. Knowing him, this isn’t surprising. Let look into this…”

Year Two, Fall, Entark Second Academy’s Ginkgo Avenue.
Shuna, wearing black tights and boots, found a bench covered in fallen leaves. She brushed the leaves off, sat down, and opened the envelope in her hand.

[To S:
Fall is here; rember to dress warmly. I caught a cold recently because I didn’t keep warm. Luckily, soone cared enough to bring dicine… uh… they even brought a high-class doctor.
He ca with a full set of equipnt and even three priests. I was so startled I thought I had so incurable disease.
Regarding your suggestion to add materials to black stockings to enhance resistance against illusions, it works wonders against troubleso undead bosses.
I think it’s feasible. However, we need to carefully consider the materials because, as the ultimate stockings, I don’t want to add anything that might taint their purity.
Also… about the Entark family’s history—what kind of demon did they encounter back then?
If Demon Swordsmanship training hits a wall, how can one communicate with it to progress? Are there any consistent tricks to this training? It feels elusive.
W]
—
“Uh… what’s with his weird obsession with stockings?”
“A demon, huh? They say training along a demon’s path makes one increasingly aligned with their mindset…”
“For example, an intense desire for control? Unexplained compulsions… incomprehensible emotions?”
“…Is he really okay?”

Year Three, Sumr, Entark Second Academy Rooftop.
Shuna, wearing a short skirt and sandals, sat on the rooftop, enjoying the breeze. She crouched down and opened the envelope in her hand.

[To S:
This sumr is so hot. My recent research has been going well, and my teacher gave a short sumr break to rest. How’s the weather on your end? Is it as hot?
I’ve been learning related ancient magic from her lately—though I had previously figured so of it out on my own, this ti it’s more systematic. She agreed surprisingly quickly, even more enthusiastically than I expected.
It turns out so basic ancient magic is quite useful, though the energy consumption is still too high for .
I’ve also been trying to push myself by practicing swordsmanship. I don’t dislike lee weapons; I just gave up as a child because my uncoordinated body couldn’t handle them.
After recent physical training, I’m still slow to learn, but I’ve improved significantly compared to before. It’s a pleasant surprise.
Ah, it seems I’ve talked too much about myself in this letter. Sorry, I should be more objective when writing to you.
I’ve included notes on the ancient magic I’ve been studying. My teacher says it’s incomprehensible to most people, but I wrote it down anyway.
Schoolwork has also picked up. As they say, the final year is much busier than the others.

“My, my… even the delicate young master is finally training himself.”
“Is it just a man’s instinct to want to grow stronger?”
“Sigh, speaking of which, I have a lot of assignnts too. Ti to get back to studying.”

Year Three, Winter, Entark Second Academy Plaza.
Shuna, wearing thick gloves, exhaled white puffs of breath as she leaned against the statue of the academy’s first principal. She opened the envelope in her hand.

I can’t believe how quickly ti has passed. My graduation and the start of my dungeon adventures are only about six months away.
I’ve already chosen my dungeon teammates. The biggest issue now is… weapons. I’ve realized that weapons are an art in themselves, even more so than skills.
I’ve listed so ideas about weapons. Unfortunately, many resources will require your help to source from dungeons.
My graduation thesis is nearly complete, just needs so revisions.
As you can tell, while I excel at academic work, I’m much more excited about facing dungeon monsters directly!
I can’t wait. In six months, I’ll finally form my own adventurer team!
W]
—
“Sigh… weapons, huh…”
“My dagger feels rusty too. I should probably replace it.”
“Your own adventurer team? I guess… that’s sothing I can’t advise you on.”

Finally… Graduation, Spring.
At Entark’s academies, which begin their academic year in sumr, graduation season falls in spring.
Looking at her now-empty dorm room, Shuna changed into the sa type of outfit she had worn when she first ventured into a dungeon.
Of course, it wasn’t the “sa one,” just the “sa style.”
Over the years, Shuna had grown significantly. She was no longer the flat-chested fourteen-year-old she once was; her figure had developed dramatically…
Even her favorite vest had to be upsized.
Still, her proud posture revealed a deep, enticing cleavage.
And her favorite accessory…
The thigh holster where she kept her dagger, always within reach.
“Finally graduated…”
“I did learn a thing or two from this lousy school, and I got to experience a satisfying campus life…”
Dragging a suitcase filled with books and belongings, she passed by the donation area and unceremoniously dumped everything.
“Hey, student… are you sure about this?”
“Yes. After graduation, I won’t need any of this. I’m heading into my new life.”
She waved the letter in her hand as she spoke.
Then…
She opened the letter.

[To S:
I finally got my diploma today. I found out that adventurer teams need to pass an entrance exam for dungeons before proceeding.
Even after school exams, there are more exams waiting.
The test location is standardized in Novice Town, which is quite far from here. Once I’m packed, I plan to head there and check it out.
I’ll probably be very busy soon and won’t be able to reply for a while. Just letting you know.
I imagine once I truly enter the dungeons, I’ll have even more to ask you about!
Looking forward to working with you!

“Novice Town, huh… Hmm, it’s actually pretty close to where I’m heading to et an old friend.”
“W…”
“No, Will Hysterm…”
“After all these years…”
“Finally, at a ti when you’re free and I’m free…”
“We can et.”
“Right?”
TLN : Tiskip, 4 Years, and HAHAHA Shuna already knew W is Will Hysterm
