Classroom To Another World's
The Dark White Tower

Zen raised one of his swords, prepared to swing and sent a blade of wind flying from there.

The plan, Zen would send a flying attack entering the thatch field and destroy the core that was in the middle of it

But nothing, something stopped him.

It was Meta.

When I heard Zen and Della travel here, Meta soon followed. I was afraid that anything would happen to them both.

"Meta? Why are you here?"

"Then you guys," Meta replied, "So, what are you two doing here?"

"Just want to get into the Dark White Tower."

Meta scrunched his forehead.

The problem here is the word "free". As far as Meta information is concerned, the White Tower of Darkness is not a common place for people to visit. This is a historic site. Not a city park that is crowded with people every day. And of all that Zen added the word "free"? Not wrong, is it?

Della explains their situation.

He explained about a field of reeds attached to special magic and they were trying to penetrate it. That's all Della explained. This makes Meta ask Zen what they have been through so far, and indeed many important events that should be told. Events ranging from Zen and Della who accidentally became famous, mysterious black creatures, and the Forest Walker.

Della's previous explanation was too lacking.

This is like taking a drop of water when told to get water. It's not wrong. It's just that if the purpose of taking water is to drink, obviously a drop of water is not enough.

Meta shook his head.

"Now you guys want to go there? But I doubt your ways."

The plan is that Zen will unleash an attack that goes into the field and destroy the core of the place in one attack. Only, the effect of the magic in that place was to randomly move places to hold prey. Of course anyone who made it would not be so careless as to let an individual get close to the core of the place. Which means, the Zen attack will be moved randomly and become useless.

"After all, didn't you just say this place was like a circle? If the White Tower of Darkness is inside, it could be the point inside there."

Appropriately.

Della and Zen did not think of the possibility.

"How about we dig an underground tunnel?" meta ideas that Zen and Della could not have thought of.

Della confirmed that the effects of the magic in the area did not affect things underground. That might be done to use the Meta idea.

Previously it was impossible for Zen and Della to use the ideas Meta suggested. Zen who is a swordsman is less efficient when it comes to building porters and Della who is an expert on debuff magic clearly has different specifications. The one who could do that was a magician who could manipulate elements or magicians that were actually common in this world, but that was not within the Zen squads. But now there is a Meta that can do it.

Doing that is a problem.

They will not meet with the Dans squads who are trapped in the thatch.

Really poor….

\=\=\=

Using Meta's idea, Zen and Della penetrate the field without any problems.

In front of them was a barren wasteland. There were absolutely no plants there and beneath them was a dry land full of cracks. The temperature here is not too hot. Just like in the forest area. The climate is no different. So in conclusion, this impropriety is a person's doing, and that person should be related to the Dark White Tower.

"It's just empty land."

"Is this really the place?"

"Wait, I saw something."

Only Della with her unique abilities can see. In front of them was a huge tall tower that soared into the sky. Della looked up to see the top of the tower.

"Illusory magic, huh?"

"Heh... It's like a magical search" Zen commented, "Is there any way we can see it too?"

"Wait a minute."

Della took a step forward.

Then a bolt of lightning raged from the ground and climbed upwards. *zrt!* *Zrt!* *Zrt!*. After that, a white building appears in front of Zen and Meta.

"So this is a place called the White Tower of Darkness?" meta said, "I don't know about the 'darkness' section, but this is indeed a magnificent 'white tower."

*Srak!* *srak!* *srak!*

But before they moved, the shadow wolves darted from the weeds. Many of them came out at the same time. They jumped up and pounced on the three.

*glash!*

Zen drew his sword and annihilated them in one fell.

He was prepared when his enemy rose again, but there were no signs of it.

"Lose in one strike." Zen sheathed his sword. "A very good enemy."

The three of them entered the Dark White Tower through a wide door on one side of the tower.

It's dark in there. However after Zen set foot into the room, suddenly a light lit up. Revealed a spacious room with white pillars as a buffer lined up neatly.

*Sw!* *ssh!*

The sound of wind was heard.

Something quickly moved around the three of them.

Quickly and precisely, something grabbed the three of them in peace.

*trank!*

Something was attacking the three of them, but Meta's invisibility barrier blocked their attack.

Seen the form of a ferret with front legs in the form of curved blades. His body is black and — red eyes are the same as the previous figure. The ferrets moved by floating in the air.

"Most people will die immediately."

"Reminds me of a Japanese mythical creature named Kamaitachi(1)."

Zen drew both his swords and headed towards the ferret at the boundary of the Meta barrier.

*glash!*

Slashing, but the shadow ferret dodged.

The others came dashing fast and attacked Zen from the other side. Then when Zen focused on one of them, the others attacked.

Their large numbers and playing crackle enough to make Zen hassles against them. Sometimes he gets hurt.

The wound was less meaningful under the effects of the Phoenix Immortality.

But troublesome.

Their quick movements overwhelmed Zen. Their cooperation and coordination were excellent. They pair up attacking from different sides.

*Step!*

Zen stepped back, going into the Meta barrier.

"I hate to admit it, but I'm having a hard time fighting them" said Zen, "Can you beat him, Della?"

"I'm sorry, but they're moving too fast" Della replied, "My eyes can't keep up with them."

"Then leave it to me" said Meta.

Meta raised his hand and created an orange-colored fireball. The more to the center of the fireball, the color is brighter until the white color ends.

He threw the fireball to any side.

When the fireball hits the wall, the fireball doubles in number. From one to two, two to four, and so on. In a short time the room was filled with burning balls of fire.

*boom!* *boom!* *boom!*

The fireball that hit the black ferret exploded and obliterated them.

\=Note\=

Kamaitachi is a type of youkai in Japanese mythology, usually in the area of Koshin'etsu. There are several views as to how it came to be and how it behaved, but the common one is that Kamaitachi is a group of ferrets with sharp claws, moving like a gust of wind, and injuring the skin of human feet. ~ Wikipedia
