61 – Portraits, Sculptures, Prints.
*Get me out. Take me out Take me out.
The description of the work is still growing endlessly. It spreads on the white floor of the plaza as a drawing paper.
─.
Static.
Serena is still pounding the sides of her picture frame like crazy.
[ Start evaluation! ]
The title of the work is somewhat out of the blue.
“Spread, spread, spread, evaluate… ? This?”
Becky started shaking her legs.
“This is…. What do you mean by evaluation? What about witches?”
“What on earth can you evaluate with this?”
The magic tool experience has already taken a back seat, and the students are slowly becoming confused.
Fortunately, however, it didn’t take too long for the officials from the ‘first trip’ area to arrive.
“Everyone, please calm down.”
“It will be fine.”
Appearance with golden pins on the gray robes and chests of officials. That is absolutely reassuring for today’s students.
They looked at Serena, who quickly turned into a painting.
The movement of the fist striking the frame, the description of the work written along the shape of her mouth.
No matter how you look at it, Serena is still alive.
But also, it’s just a picture, not a living thing.
It was a phenomenon that can only be explained with the word bizarre.
“This is…. It’s a bit different from magic.”
“Black magic? Isn’t this black magic?”
Officials whispered among themselves.
*Get me out. Take me out take me out take me out Take me out.
The floor is already black. It was now that the letters had begun to spread even on the walls.
Louis calmly opened her mouth.
“Maybe…. Can we stop this letter from spreading? I think this makes her friends more anxious.”
“I don’t think it will be difficult.”
The gap between black magic and sorcery is indescribably large, but it is possible to take measures to that extent.
The moment one of the officials touched Serena’s painting.
“… !”
He also stood tall and hardened.
The soft skin gradually became glossy and hardened, eventually becoming a mannequin.
The name of the work is written on the chest. [The price of arrogance]
“Don’t…. Mannequin?”
“This time it’s not a painting, but a mannequin?”
Astonishment spread across the faces of everyone watching. Lewis carefully puts his hand in front of the mannequin’s nose.
“Hidden…. I’m resting. You are alive.”
At those words, the students and even the officials were surprised.
But they were also seasoned. He did not show embarrassment and tried to lead the students.
“Everyone, please stay still! Immediately, we will take you to the hotel!”
One of the officials drew a circle in the air with a staff. It was a move to create a short-range warp gate.
“After returning to the hotel, never leave the room! The schedule will be notified later….”
Gripping—!
However, the gate was not made, only sparks flew. The official’s face hardened.
“What is this….”
Another official hurriedly whispers to him who is perplexed.
“The entire area for the first trip has been sealed off.”
“Containment… ? When and where?”
“Just now. It is impossible to move outside.”
“Then what should we do… !”
A vein stood on his forehead as he was perplexed.
We talked in as low a voice as possible, but the fact that the officials were whispering with serious expressions was a source of anxiety for the students.
“Looks like something really happened….”
“What should we do?”
The students started whispering again.
It had been a long time since the white floor had turned black from being covered with movable type.
The official looked around at the students and spoke as calmly as possible.
“We will walk to the hotel. It will be fine. We’ll protect you….”
But then.
“… !”
She also opened her eyes.
“Ugh…. Eww… ?”
With a pop, the body turned into a doll. As it fell to the floor, there was a booming and soft sound.
Title of the work [ Protection Cushion ]
“Wow, the officials are also suffering….”
“No matter how you look at it, it’s not an evaluation!”
Paintings, dolls, mannequins…. It wasn’t long before everyone involved was turned into a work of art.
One of the students finally shouted in terror.
“What crazy! What the hell are we going to do with this!”
At the same time, he too was confined to a frame.
“That, stop!”
Half of the painting is painted blue, and trapped, he frantically struggles to survive.
*It’s cold. Help me. I’m going to freeze to death
The title of the work is [Fine words].
The other side is listening to all the stories here.
The moment you resist, you become stuffed.
All the students who realized that kept their mouths shut.
Black types are still proliferating in the first area of white sandpaper.
◈
15 Minutes have elapsed since the beginning of the interim evaluation.
Plan arrived at the cocktail bar located on the second floor of Sapore. He forcibly pushes Trixie, who resists, into the hotel.
[ ▶ The cocktail bar on the 2nd floor is our hangout. ]
I arrived after confirming Teresa’s report in Trivia, and the cocktail bar was already full of blood demons.’
A flawless outfit, red eyes that shimmer calmly like a bonfire, and the power of the soul.
As soon as they find flan, everyone gets up from their seats. Theresa greeted them politely as a representative.
“Are you here?”
Plan only nods his head lightly in response.
Most of the blood demons look at the flan with admiration. Among them, Plan said to a blood demon who looked at him most blatantly.
“What are you staring at?”
“I’m sorry. Camouflage is beyond imagination…. It looks very human!”
The guy immediately folds his back. Teresa patted him on the back of the head to catch his attention.
After a while, the furniture in the cocktail bar changes position.
A long, straight table. And the only stone made for flan.
Only Plan took his seat, and the rest stood at intervals. Theresa opened his mouth.
“… Yes. Then, since Maiev-nim is here too, let’s check the strategy once again.”
Theresa glanced at Plan again. Every time I spit out each letter, I noticed.
“As you know, our ultimate goal is to create an exhibition that the princess will be satisfied with.”
She clapped her hands twice. Then, a large sheet of paper unfolds in the air.
Mannequin 32
Doll 25
Figure 64
Children’s Book 20
.
.
.
The paper had detailed quantities corresponding to each item. Theresa continues her speech.
“I am not worried about the order above. Maiev-sama will hand-stuff them according to the quantity.”
Her index finger points downward.
Blue Flame 1
“So we focus on collecting blue flames. Please keep in mind that this exhibition deals only with ‘living things’ and move forward.”
Theresa nods her head slowly.
“In addition, the first area is currently closed, so don’t worry. We do not want our actions to be found out.”
Flan rubbed her chin quietly.
Stuffed wizards alive, collecting trixies…. After all, is it to satisfy the ‘princess’?
Then this is undoubtedly good news. In other words, it means that the lives of students are not affected at all.
“Hey.”
At just two words from Flan, Theresa shook her shoulders.
“We must not forget to talk about magic tools.”
“Oh, yes. I thought I’d explain from now on! Now, this answer is absolutely not throwing up.”
Theresa clapped her hands twice. Then, this time, the paper splits into two.
The first thing revealed on the paper on the left is a map of Sappho. Among them, the largest space is painted red.
Even if you don’t look, it must be a space with a magic tool called ‘dream’.
And on another piece of paper, the quantity is written again.
Joy 11
Despair 22
Regret 33
Anger 44
.
.
.
Somewhat unusually, the items with quantity attached this time are ‘feelings’, not objects. Theresa purses her lips.
“To improve the quality of the exhibition, we plan to use ‘dreams’ to control the emotions of the works.”
“… It’s fun.”
Plan’s interest is piqued.
The magic tool called ‘dream’ seems to be related to the illusion series. It means that you have the ability to change at least your emotions.
They are not satisfied with simply stuffing living things. Even controlling emotions, he wants to create a work that the princess is completely satisfied with.
You are saying that human wizards are literally only viewed as ‘materials’.
The idea, the arrogance, is a little funny to Plan.
“Teresa. I know how to make a time log.”
“Yes…. I wasn’t that bad. Now, this answer is not a retort. Because I’m usually a bit blunt….”
“Enough. Then.”
Cutting Teresa’s words to pieces, Plan decided to revise their plans. Completely tailored to his taste.
“You guys should keep a record of the moment the students are stuffed. Never mind the blue flames.”
“Uh…. Didn’t we care about the blue flames first?”
But then.
With a bang, a bloody demon burst through the door.
The bloody ghost who appeared while examining the plan closely, soon muttered calmly.
“Everyone, that is not Maiev.”
Everyone’s gaze turns to that side at once.
“The taxidermy has already begun. That’s fake Actually, Maiev-sama has already taken action.”
“….”
All the blood demons inside the cocktail bar take turns looking at him and me.
The accuser looked at Flan and wrinkled his expression.
“In other words…. That means he’s a human that will tear you limb from limb.”
Even in the midst of the chaos, Plan’s eyes are calmly directed at Teresa.
“Teresa.”
No answer came back.
With her voice growing even colder, I call her again.
“Teresa.”
“Yes, yes….”
Teresa barely opened her mouth. He was keeping an eye on both the blood ghost and the flan at once.
“What is his name?”
“Me? Gabe, why?”
The answer came directly from his mouth.
Exactly!
With one snap of her finger, Flan completely changed the structure of the cocktail bar.
From the door to the window, all the ‘doors’ disappear in an instant. Thanks to this, darkness settled inside.
“… !”
Several blood demons gulped down their saliva.
It was because of the red eyes that began to shine here and there, and among them, Plan’s eyes were exceptionally bright.
Human. Blood Ghost.
It is something bizarre that cannot be expressed by species.
Plann whispers the boy’s name quietly.
“Gabe.”
From noble mtl dot com
“… What the f*ck is this?”
That was my last chance.
Exactly!
Exactly!
Plan just snapped her fingers twice.
Quagga Gak─ The four chairs floated in the air and were shattered in an instant.
When she came to her senses, it was perfectly trimmed in the shape of a picture frame.
I quietly drew a spell in her head.
The reason why I didn’t want to see it in my head was because the color of the black magic spell and the general spell were starkly different.
On one side of my head, draw the [Transformation] Spell to frame the picture frame, and on the other hand, draw the [Manipulation] Spell.
Gabe will be manipulated as a single ‘ingredient’.
Kwaak-!
Four frames are attached to the north, south, east, west, and west of Gabe, respectively.
Gabe hadn’t even figured out the situation yet. From calculations to the manifestation of magic, the speed was like lightning.
Unfold two 『Illusion』 At the same time.
The magic of double activation. Make the audience recognize Gabe as a ‘work’. Make even Gabe recognize himself as a ‘work’.
“… !”
Gabe and the blood demons finally noticed the situation.
The guy trapped in the frame howls as hard as he can, but no sound comes out. Because it was already a picture.
Gabe struggles on a black canvas. A short title of the work is attached.
[Failure] ─ Figure painting
Everyone’s eyes went blank.
It was only for a moment, but time seemed to pass slowly, and the corners of Flan’s mouth drew an arc.
That face seemed to say this.
People like you are a failure.
“… !”
Gabe, sensing a bad situation, frantically tapped the frame. However, flan does not stop.
He creates a landscape on a canvas of enchantment.
The black background disappears, and countless carving knives are placed in its place.
Exactly!
The blades plunged into Gabe’s body without hesitation.
“… !”
Blood is splattered, flesh is cut, bones are slashed, Gabe lets out a roar, but no sound is heard in the process.
Even Gabe, whose body is horribly hollowed out, has a name attached to it.
[ Identify the subject ] – Sculpture.
… There was silence for a moment.
Everyone was dazed because it was a scenery that even the blood demons could not have imagined.
Kwajik—!
Finally, one of the desks crushed the entire picture frame.
[ In words of stupidity ] ─ Engraving
This whole process only takes 2 seconds.
The blood demons looked at the situation blankly. Recognize the situation three beats late.
Maiev’s black magic. It’s a little different from ‘stuffed’. No, maybe something more than that.
‘Stuffed’, ‘Title’, ‘Description’. All of those elements are the same, but…. It’s different nonetheless.
Was it black magic? No, is it just magic? But is it possible to implement something like that with just magic?
With their bodies completely frozen, the blood demons busily exchanged glances.
A bloodghost with a gun was needed, and there was only one person who could do it. Soon, everyone’s eyes are focused on Theresa.
Theresa shook her head, but it was no use.
She opened her mouth countless times. She had to squeeze her lungs to spit out just a few words.
“Hey, there….”
Flan’s cool gaze reaches her. Theresa raised one of her hands in her haste.
To appear a little more polite.
“Ji, seriously Maiev…. Isin…. Song? Ahahahaha….”
Plan is tok, tok, tok. She tapped the armrests of her chair with her fingertips a few times before opening her mouth.
“You are the material this time.”
“Sin, sin, sin, sorry!”
Theresa straightened her back.
“I’m not just suspicious! Just because this stuffed animal is so great! Yes!”
Blood is leaking from under the desk with a sling. Soon after, the floor is covered in blood.
The moment it just touched Flan’s toes.
“Continue the meeting.”
He said.
