Chapter 304: Again, Mage Tower (2) (Teaser)
Restricted Access Area
Epherene was stealthily walking down into the basement of the Mage Tower library. Since the library itself was located in the Mage Tower’s basement, this meant she was effectively descending into the Mage Tower’s basement.
“… Why are these stairs so long?" Epherene muttered.
Epherene checked Deculein's map once more.
"It should be correct, right here."
There is certainly something within this basement. I don't yet know what it is, but this basement is the very epicenter of the earthquake. And the Professor's map cannot be wrong... Epherene muttered.

"As expected, your foolishness prevents recognition," Sylvia added, removing her glasses.
Only then did Epherene's eyes widen.
“What.”
It's strange. Sylvia and I are the same age, but her appearance is so mature now, as if she alone has aged, Epherene thought.
