My Entire Class Was Summoned to Another World except for Me Chapter 85

Chapter 85

It’s a tradition to set a trap to activate after the first trap is destroyed .

While Yato was fighting the golem in the hall, Karen seemed to have found an interesting place and told us to follow her .

“Uwa…”

“What is this place…?”

Lina and I couldn’t hide our expression of amazement .

It was a small dim room with a low ceiling .

I didn’t think that such a tiny room could be hiding in this s.p.a.cious place .

“Who knew that a secret room like this would be hiding here . I’m impressed, Karen-dono . ”

“Yey!”

Feeling somewhat happy getting praised by Lina, Karen smiled as she made a peace sign with her hand .

The secret room we found was hiding in the middle of the pa.s.sage we used when were on our way to the hall .

When Karen asked us to follow her, we didn’t ask for a further reason and walked until we arrived at this room .

“How did you find it?”

“The wall that was leading to the room had a peculiar design in it . ”

Apparently, she has been wondering about it since the last time we pa.s.sed by this wall and when she tried pus.h.i.+ng the wall with the strange design, this secret room showed up . Could there be anything more cliched than that?

“What were you going to do if it was a trap?”

“If it was a trap it would have activated for the first time we pa.s.sed by it . ”

“But, still, you did great finding this room just from the design of its wall . I don’t think anyone would be able to do that . ”

“If it didn’t automatically activate, then it’s not a trap . Besides, I kept examining the walls on our way to the hall and I didn’t find anything similar to this one, so obviously, something was hiding behind it . ”

Karen explained to Lina the way she found the room .

I was honestly impressed by her insight .

She’s amazing…

“Well…”

Halting her words, she s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the thing that was in front of her .

“There’s something else too . ”

“Yeah . ”

“You’re right . ”

Lina and I moved our gaze to the thing Karen was looking at while agreeing with her .

I looked at that thing and said .

“That’s a magic circle, isn’t it?”

A charming light s.h.i.+ning inside the dim room .

I could tell that much since I already saw one earlier in that hall .

“I wonder what type of magic circle this is . ”

I uttered while gazing at the circle .

Its pattern was clearly different from the one we saw back in the hall . However, the fact that it was s.h.i.+ning implied that it was functioning .

Although I wasn’t able to tell its effectiveness .

Lina who took a closer look at the circle responded to my wonder .

“That’s probably the circle blocking the use of magic in this temple . ”

“This one?”

Astonished by how fast it took us to find it, Karen looked at the circle with doubting eyes .

“This room is placed in the middle of the temple . So it’s the perfect place to set a magic circle with an effect enclosing the entire place . Besides, what else could it be if it’s not the one blocking the use of magic?”

So that’s how magic works .

I became intrigued hearing Lina’s explanation about the way magic circles work .

“So how can we destroy it?”

Karen, who was gazing at the circle until now, asked an important question .

If it was really the circle that was blocking the use of magic, then we had to destroy it as soon as possible .

“That’s easy . ”

Lina took out a sword from somewhere and walked before the magic circle .

“From where did you take out that sword?”

“I was placing it in my【Box】skill . The skill doesn’t use magic, so I can use it whenever I need . ”

Lina explained as she flaunted her sword .

Wow, skills are really convenient .

“A magic circle possesses many useful effects, but it has also one fatal flaw . That is its subtle and delicate structure that makes it non-functional if it had the tiniest scratch . ”

Holding her sword while pointing it at the circle, she prepared to thrust it in the ground .

“In other words, you only need to do this!!”

She then swung down her sword with all her strength .

The sword pierced the ground and caused a tiny scratch in the magic circle .

Immediately after, the light of the circle started to gradually disappear until all of his functions halted . The s.h.i.+ning circle turned into a mere drawing .

“It should be alright now . ”

Saying that, Karen put away her sword and released some gray haze from her hand to confirm that she can use magic again .

<

Looks like she succeeded in turning off the circle .

I was surprised by how fast and easy she did it .

I mean, I feel that usually, situations like this wouldn’t resolve with just that much .

When I turned to tell Lina about it…

“WanWan”

Rouga began barking as if she was giving us a warning .

What’s could it be?

When I turned back, I noticed that she was glaring at the ground .

It felt as if something of intimidating was climbing its way to us from underground .

What is it?

When I was about to ask Rouga, it was already late .

“Ha!?”

“Ah!”

“Eeeh!!?”

Apparently, the fear I had only moments ago became true .

When Lina destroyed the magic circle, this time, a bigger one appeared surrounding us .

A trap that activates after destroying the circle .

I mean, it’s not like I didn’t expect something like that to happen .

Lina revealed an astonished expression while Karen let out a confused low voice as she stayed expressionless .

Having nothing to do about the circle that surrounded us, we disappeared from the secret room .

Bonus

Magic circle .

“Are magic circle able to do everything?”

“Not everything, but they can be used in many things . ”

“Like what?”

“Well, you just saw how they can block the use of magic . They are also often used in teleportation . ”

“Hee… so you can teleport wherever you want if you created one?”

“That is if you know the location of the place where you want to go . ”

“So it can be used to teleport to school?”

“That’s possible, but I don’t think anyone would use it for that purpose . ”

“Eh? Then what about Yato-kun’s place?”

“That’s possible (I’m not letting you do that though!)”
