<Who are you guys? (2)>

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

The black rain was as thick as the unexpected rainfall in the middle of summer.

Clunk. Clunk.

It also brought gusts of wind with it.

The edge precinct black mages truly are skilled~

Cale turned his head after hearing the melodious mumbling.

Hes smiling?

The mercenary with disheveled hair was smiling while looking out the window. That made Cale think about his suspicions.

Is this bastard really a member of the Agents of Destruction?

There were not many reasons to send a subordinate out of the capital no matter how many times Cale thought about it.

Hmm?

Cale turned toward the Fourth Imperial Prince who was standing past Zero.

As expected, the trash demeanor is just an act.

The Fourth Imperial Prince, who was looking out the window with quite a serious gaze, had both of his fists clenched. It was only for an instant, but he even cursed under his breath as if he was holding back his anger.

- Human! Will our team be okay? One was smiling like a fool before turning serious while the other was angry but suddenly chuckles and pretends to laugh!

As Raon mentioned, the two candidates had quickly hid their emotions.

The two of their emotions aren't the issue right now.

Cale looked away from the two of them and looked outside.

Swooooooosh-

The black rain mixed with the wind and turned into something like a small storm.

And that storm-

Baaaaaang!

Slammed into the shield.

Crack.

A portion of the shield broke.

"Will this be okay?!

One of the candidates became shocked and almost shouted to an aide to ask.

One of the aides stepped forward.

That person is the one who was speaking to the Margrave.

Cale recalled that this was the last aide to speak to the Margrave before the Margrave left.

Please dont worry. There are over one hundred black mages in Precinct 9. In addition, they are all at least at the middle-grade level.

The aides face was stiff despite telling them not to worry.

This level of rain cloud is not enough to destroy it.

The candidate who asked the question seemed a bit relieved after hearing the aides confident remarks, but Cale had a thought after hearing the answer.

What if it gets past this level of rain cloud?

Then what happens?

Will the shield break?

Cale heard someone who had the same question as himself.

Are there instances where it gets worse than this level of rain cloud?

It was the Second Imperial Princess.

Hmm.

The Second Imperial Princess had formed a team with two candidates who did not stand out much.

The team is set up so that the Second Imperial Princess would shine the most if they do their mission well.

The aide closed her mouth for a moment at the Second Imperial Princess as Cale quickly came up with that assessment.

The rest of the candidates and their subordinates all turned toward her.

Clunk. Clunk.

The wind that seemed to be getting worse was slamming against the window.

Thankfully, there was no black rain hitting the window.

Currently.

The aide pushed up her glasses a bit as she responded.

Currently, there are no rain clouds stronger than this.

...It sounds like there will be in the future?

The aide sighed at the Second Imperial Princess's scary gaze.

The rain clouds have slowly gotten stronger since the dead mana rain clouds first appeared, your Royal Highness.

Mm.

Someone groaned.

"And the amount of time in between each instance of rain cloud has been getting shorter.

Is it impossible to determine the cycle of the rain cloud?
