Chapter 866: Beyond the door
Chapter 866: Beyond the door
[Eon's POV: ]
"Alright I've figured it out."
It took me a while to come to this conclusion, but I knew what I was dealing with now.
"There are a total of three questions. One in the door, one in the stars, and one in the place I was standing on.
These three places contained three distinct questions that though connected with one another were pretty different one one another and focused on different things.
"The question on the door asks one to solve the geomagnetic question and create a solid magic circle."
The door was a unique piece in this entire puzzle as well as something one would most certainly ignore.
'There are many attractive doors in the academy and many are much more unique than this one.'
They are more attractive and filled with more things than what we see in this one, so the students might ignore it in many cases.
But, those who could see the patterns in these shapes would most certainly see the attractive image of an 'owl' hidden behind all the lines and useless symbols.
"The owl image is the core of the spell circle."
It wasn't a simple magic circle but a (tier-4) magic circle made up of not lines but shapes made up of complex lines.
There were no straight lines in this magic formula. Every element was twisted and was made in a way that would confuse even the ones that somehow figured out the existence of a pattern in these lines.
"One would have to clean up the unnecessary lines and enhance the shapes to clearly see what the magic circle was showing with these scenes."
It wasn't easy to find it, but thanks to the hints from Lucy, it became pretty doable.
"The stars around me were covering not a magic circle or a particular question, but a paradox theory that wasn't that well known among the masses.
"Endlessness is not necessarily ever expanding, so why does the universe expand eternally?"
One would ask these kinds of questions when they get beyond the question itself.
'It was complicated to explain with words, but the place that we were seeing before us wasn't stagnant as we were looking at it.
If one had good enough eyes, they could see how the stars that winked so effortlessly were getting a little duller with each passing moment.
This wasn't visible and things were pretty much the same even with a few minutes passed.
Nothing was moving in this place aside from us… or at least he had thought it to be the case.
"This place is ever expanding."
It isn't visible to even my sharp eyes but if one focuses on one thing well enough, they can tell the difference between something going on and something that wasn't in motion.
We were not moving but the place that we were present all around us was moving along with the door leading to this place.
"That's the second riddle."
The third one was pretty simple since we were given a blank paper with a simple question written over it.
But without my mystical eyes that could look under the place I was standing on, it would have been impossible to figure out something more than this.
The question was quite literally written under the place I'm standing right now and the answer to that question was pretty much the same.
"I have a fiancée that will be my wife soon so, no. I don't really need more love than this. I'll get the type-2 sugar disease that doesn't even exist in this world."
It was a not so simple but straightforward question asking 'what kind of person I would want in my life as my partner.'
It was a trick question since the meaning of none of the terms used in the question were clear.
One wouldn't know what exactly they should answer but, I don't think it would matter anyway.
'Just finding this question was a tough task.'
No one was going to look under the very place they are standing for some clues, right? They cannot even do something like I did.
This was a spatial space so when they enter this place through any means, they might very well get a part of the profits.
'The question wasn't what they were after anyway.'
Now that I think about it, the three of these questions weren't anything special.
One was difficult and needed his intelligence, then he was faced with the other level of the situation where he needed his observation skills, and lastly when others might think that is it, the main test would pop up for the third question.
Finding the question itself was a difficult task since it was quite literally under the ground. But finishing things after that was much easier.
'Lucy?'
[{ *Wonderful, master. You have finished all of them.* }]
'Nice.'
This meant I was really done with the first part of the first test.
I could finally go inside and start the main test that I know very well was also something just as difficult as this thing.
There was a door before me, a paper was stuck on this door that recorded the answer that I was going to submit.

It was written in not the common language but in fairy tongue so the connector present will know what it all is.
And with the magic circle, they will know what kind of thing that I had used to answer.
"Alright…"
Standing before the door that seemed a little scary to me, I prepared my heart and took a deep breath.
-Click!
-Clank.
The door was easy to open and just like the teacher had said, there were multiple doors on the other side of this gate.
There was an entire wall filled with doors with many of them even hanging in the air.
This sight that I was witnessing right now was pretty attractive, but… there was something even more attractive.
'Wow…'
The grand spell that created this entire place… the (tier-10) illusion magic that actually made this entire space possible.
It was one spell that was making this whole space that all the students in the academy right now were using simultaneously.
There were special separated spaces and everyone in the various groups was facing a different thing but, at this junction, they all were entering their respective rooms.
'It's pretty.'
I can see the spell that made this whole thing possible in this place.
And, I have to say…
'I've never been more mesmerised by the mere structure of any spell.'
But this one… this one was different. And… breathtakingly pretty.
