After they were done with introductions, Igni asked the two the question.

Igni: Theres a few things Id like to ask the Black and White Sisters......... is that okay?

Rania: Ask us anything!

The Elder Sister, Rania, was totally for it.

Igni: (How can she be so energetic in the morning.?)

Igni wondered as he continued.

Igni: Id like more information about what the Monster in the mines looks like.

Rania: Yes! I thought so! Ill explain so listen well!

Elina: Before that, would it be okay if we sit down? Elina was the one who asked. She probably expected the story to take a while.

A great assist by her.

Rania answered with a, Sure and pointed to a seat and also signaled Nie to pour some tea.

Ignis first impression of the sisters was unreasonable and hard to communicate with, but he started to change his mind. Or rather, he hoped that he would be able to communicate with them at the very least.

Rania: Sofirstly, what we know is that our opponent is not a Phantom Type Monster.

Igni: Not a Phantom Type? Igni didnt realize that he repeated the words back Ranias words.

Igni: (Didnt Seta say that there were rumors about a ghost that haunted the mines?)

Rania: And I could ask you Rolmod Wizard Academy students a similar question. Are there any Phantom Type Monsters that the [Spirit Seeing Stone] will not react to?

Igni and Elina took up the tea Nie poured as Rania laid our her question.

Igni immediately began to go through all the Monsters in his head. Training 2 years in the [Demon Kings Realm], he had fought with many kinds of Monsters and had quite a bit of info to sort through.

But..

Igni: No, there arent.

Elina: Its just as Igni says. I dont know of any Phantom Type Monsters where the [Spirit Seeing Stone] would be unresponsive to.

Igni and Elina, who is top of her class, both shake their heads to say no.

If there are any Phantom Type Monsters that can escape the detection of the [Spirit Seeing Stone], that would be something Igni and the rest of the student body would be made aware of. That is because not knowing the exceptions could lead to your death.

Rania: Yes. So that means that Monster is not a Phantom Type.

Igni: ........then, what is it? Rania: I drew a picture of it, so take a look! If its you all, you would know what Monster this is, right?

And Rania went to the back of the room to bring out a wooden board and brought it over to Igni.

Igni: Oh, so you have a picture? Then that would make it easier

<WHAM!!>

And Rania placed her picture down onto the table.

There, they saw a large round circle, something that barely resembled a human body attached to it, and one long line stretching out from it.

Igni: .........whats this? Rania: The Monsters Picture!!

Rania smiled from ear to ear with pride.

Igni fell completely silent. He decided that he would not touch upon the quality of the drawing.

Yoori is severely confused, and also remains silent, not knowing what to say.

Elina tilted her head as she tried to consider what Monster was represented in this drawing. Her very serious and studious character was surfacing.

Igni: Ummmmm..can I ask you a few questions? Rania: Yes! Ask me anything!

Igni: What.is this big round thing? Rania: Its the head!

Igni: Head..?

If its a head, shouldnt you draw hair or fur or even eyes or a nose..?

Why is it just the circle? Rania: I thought about drawing the face, but I suck at drawing so I stopped! Oh, but on its head, theres a lot of mouths and eyes.

Rania chuckles and smiles.

Igni: So this body looking thing is.

Rania: Its the body!

Igni: ..........so does that mean our opponent has a large head on a small body.? Rania: Yup! Thats right!!

Igni: (Then why didnt you say so in the first place?)

is what Igni wanted to say, but its not what a Popular man would do.

Igni: Whats this line stretching out from the body? Rania: I dont know!

Igni: Hmmmmmm

Igni crossed his arms to think. Hes never seen a Monster like this.

It definitely has some very unique characteristics, and it would be easily identifiable if this information was accurate.

Igni: How was it moving or traveling around? Nie: It was floating.

Igni: Floating? Nie: Yes, it just floated in the air as it moved around.

And as she finished pouring tea for everyone there, she sat on Ranias lap.

Igni: A Monster that floats in the air, has a big head, and has some string or line coming out from its body

Igni reviews all the traits he heard thus far.

Yoori and Elina were trying to think of a similar Monster in their heads, but no one came up with anything.

Igni: .......it could be a new kind.

Rania: A new kind? A new kind of Monster?!

Rania jumped on Ignis words as Igni was speaking to himself.

Igni: .......Im not saying that for certain. Im just saying that its possible.

Elina: A new kind of Monster. That is possible.

Yoori: Yeah, I think youre right, Igni. Theres no Monster that I can think of that even comes close to what this one looks like.

All the students agreed on this, and Rania and Nie look at each other before they speak in unison.

Rania: Igni! Is there something good that comes from discovering a new kind of Monster?!

Igni: SSomething good.? Well, first, you get to name it. And..was there anything else..? Igni throws the question to the other two.

Elina: Wouldnt you get a reward if you give it to the researchers in the Capital? Yoori: And the news might be big enough to be published by a few newspapers so your names will be better known.

Rania and Nie both stood up eyes sparkling after hearing the words.

Rania: Theres only good things that could happen then! Im more than ready now to take this thing down!!

Nie: Isnt that wonderful news, Elder Sister?! Well finally be famous!!

The two got super excited.

Didnt they say to not count your chickens before they hatched? Rania: I cant just sit around any more! Lets go to the mines right now!!

Igni: Thats fine, but do you have any clue where to look? Rania: No clue! Igni: I see. No clue. ..wait, none at all?!

Rania was so bold with her answer, that Igni mistook her words for a second.

Rania: Yes! Well just have to walk around the mines!!

Igni: WhWhat about before? How did you find it? Rania: We walked around the mines, and it came out!!

Rania was so bold and confident that you could tell that she didnt have a shred of nervousness.

Igni: I understand. Then lets walk around the mines.

And Igni didnt really have any other ideas either, so he decided to just brute force his way through this problem.

Elina: Hey, Igni. This.

Igni: Hm? Whats wrong? Elina suddenly tugged at Ignis sleeves after staring at Ranias picture of the Monster for a while.

Elina: .......no, I think Im probably mistaken but Elina paused before she spoke again.

Elina: Isnt this..a picture of a baby? was what she said.

Igni: A baby? This? Elina: Yeah, the head is big and the body is small. And look at its posture.

Elina pointed to the way the lines drew the body.

Elina: Doesnt it look like its curled up in a ball?

Igni: It does. Elina: And that thing coming out from the body.I think its the umbilical chord.

Igni: Yeah, it does look like that. Now that Elina pointed it out, to Igni, the more he looked, the more he saw it.

Elina: Hey, you two. How big was this thing? Rania and Nie both look up at Elinas question.

Rania: Around 3 meters (10 feet) big? Nie: It was quite big, Elder Sister. Elina: ...................

Elina thought for a while and

Elina: Lets go to the mines.

is all she said.
