Welcome to The World of Magic!
Harbel returned home and immediately checked his
email.
"Congratulations on passing the preliminary exam.
You have obtained the eligibility to take the MD exam.
Please come to the designated location by the
following date.
Meeting place: Near Mount Marule
Meeting time: August 21st until noon
P.S. Any means of transportation and information
gathering are acceptable."
"What is this? There's only one month left, and how
far do you think Marule is?"
"Besides, I don't have any money... I have no choice
but to go with that old bike..."
Summer vacation starts tomorrow.
Harbel took all the money he had and set off on his
old bike.
"It says that any means of obtaining information is
acceptable... I'll try going to PSW for now..."
"It's huge..."
Harbel stopped his old bike and entered the automatic
door at the entrance.
"Excuse me, I have something to ask about MD?"
"I'm very sorry, but our company is a detective agency, so we cannot answer such questions. Please leave."
The receptionist bowed politely.
"I knew it..."
As he was about to go home dejectedly,
"Hey you, you!"
"Huh, me?"
There stood a long-haired woman who looked a lot
like Senon, whom he had met the other day.
"Oh, are you a member of Senon's family?"
"I'm Senon's mother."
"Oh, it was your mother... You look so young that
I thought you were his older sister."
Sion blushed a little and said happily.
"You're Harbel, right? Why are you here?"
"I want to go to the MD exam, but I don't have much
money, and I have no choice but to go with that old
bike, so I came here hoping to get some good
information."
"I see, you've set your sights on a pretty good place."
"Huh?"
"The email said that any means of information
gathering is acceptable, right?"
"Yes."
"That means anything is possible."
"Really?"
"Then, I'll give you a hint."
"A hint..."
"Actually, there are several places to stop by on the
way to Marule."
"Like relay points?"
"That's right, if you miss those, you'll never reach the
goal."
"Also, I'll give you this in advance."
Sion handed him a blue bag.
"What is this?"
"An infinite storage bag."
"Huh?"
"It can hold anything."
"Anything?"
"There are some items in it, so feel free to use them."
"Thank you very much."
Sion explained how to use the bag and then guided
him to the front.
"Finally, use this."
She said, and put her hand into the bag,
A cool gunmetal sky bike appeared.
"Wow, it's so cool!"
"Can I use it?"
"Of course."
"I don't know how to thank you..."
"Don't worry about it, don't miss the relay points."
"Thank you very much."
Harbel immediately put his old bike into the bag and
left dashingly on the cool sky bike.
"Chairman... Is it okay to do this?"
"It's okay..."
"I don't know if President Senon will scold you!"
"Senon will forgive me... I'm sure."
The purposes of those who aim for MD are diverse.
From those who simply want to use magic to those
who want to become a magician for justice, those
who aim for treasure and dream of making a fortune,
to those who plot to do evil using magic...
If you get an MD pass, you will get various benefits.
First, you can obtain items called the three sacred
treasures that are not normally available.
Furthermore, you will gain the right to freely enter and
exit the Millennium Labyrinth and keep all the treasures
you obtain within the labyrinth.
The value of the treasures varies, but if they are of the
artifact class, you can earn enough wealth to live a
lifetime by selling them at auction.
For this reason, the MD pass itself is sometimes traded
in the dark world.
However, in reality, since Senon manages the labyrinth, it cannot be used by anyone other than the official pass
holder.
The Millennium Labyrinth is the name of a dungeon
with 1,000 floors that exists in a different dimension
managed by Senon, and it is also the venue for the
MD exam and a training ground.
The Millennium Labyrinth is refreshed every day, so
the monsters and treasures inside are replenished
every day.
If you die in the dungeon, you will of course really lose
your life.
Furthermore, due to the purification effect of the
dungeon, when it is refreshed every day, the corpse
will be completely erased, and a magic is cast that
makes it as if the person himself never existed.
For this reason, even if there are casualties, it will not
become a big deal.
Furthermore, everything that happens in the dungeon
is your own responsibility, and even if you are killed
by another MD in the dungeon and your treasure is
stolen, you cannot complain.
Of course, you can't complain because you're dead...
Harbel took a break in a park on the way and examined
the item bag.
"Sion said that the contents are this cool sky bike, a
refrigerator, several food shelves, and a house..."
"A house..."
While imagining a house, he put his hand into the item
bag.
"Wow, a house really came out..."
A small, cute wooden house appeared.
"Excuse me~, the inside is quite spacious, maybe
even bigger than my room..."
The contents of this infinite storage bag are enchanted
with a spell that stops time, so it can be stored while
maintaining the state when it was put in.
"It seems like all the furniture is here, so I don't have
to worry about finding a place to stay."
"She also said that there is enough food for a year, so
it's very thorough."
Furthermore, the house seemed to have a concealment
magic cast on it so that it could not be recognized by
ordinary people.
