Glast Subjugation (2)
This is how my Southern Continent Magical Diary comes to an end.
As I looked around the world, there were so many magical truths I didn’t realize. The title of the Archmage is irrelevant.
After all, the science of magic is as wide and deep as the ocean, and it is difficult to even draw its outlines with the hazy eyes of this old man.
I am reminded of Sylvania-sama’s deep meaning not to havetily judge the depth of learning.
I think this will be the last book I’m writing. Time really doesn’t matter.
The joints between the fingers, which once seemed to crush even steel, are full of wrinkles.
If you see Sylvania, the great sage who is an irreplaceable gift and the idol of all scholars, you will not be able to stop laughing.
Sylvania-sama, who died at a young age, still remains in my memory as a beautiful beauty.
Seeing her death, a young child who has a will to study the path is walking in the twilight time.
The years that were colorless have now turned and when I look back, they are truly turbulent.
The sadness that corroded my heart on the day I lost my teacher has also accumulated over time and now remains only as an old portrait.
Still, as you live a long life, sometimes longing shows your face.
When you watch the starlight at dawn or the setting sun that slowly descends below the horizon, those feelings come suddenly without notice.
Longing is eventually accompanied by bitter loneliness.
Regret for the loss sometimes paralyzes reason.
There are times when the desire to break the providence and twist the truth to see Sylvania-sama’s face once again suddenly shows up.
However, what is lost is what is lost.
The lost must be strong. sadly.
So, be strong.
I dedicate the last sentence of this book to you who became the end of my life.
Lucy.

…sometimes an ominous feeling springs up for no apparent reason. In that case, you need to think carefully.
When your gut cries out, there’s usually a good reason for it.
The present case is the most representative example.
“All right, why are you here….”
The girl who opened the door and entered the empty laboratory was very familiar with it.
The short, wavy brown hair and innocent face look so familiar. If you’ve played Sylvania’s Failed Sword Castle in the first place, it’s a face you can’t forget.
A girl who always sits by the side of the main character, Taylor, supports him and grows together. The main character among the main characters in the scenario. No matter what he does or what route he takes, he never loses his presence and is the de facto main heroine.
The moment I met Isla Triss in the faculty meeting room, thoughts of arrogance ran through my head.
“Why are you waiting here for me…? Go, don’t come any closer…! hey…!”
As for me, I came to his private lab at the call of Professor Glast, but no one was there, so I sat quietly on the sofa for the reception. It is a misunderstanding that I was waiting for Isla.
I sat quietly on the sofa without any movement and just turned my gaze to Aila, but Aila trembled and stepped backwards and was driven alone to the wall in the corner of the laboratory.
“…”
It’s like meeting a monster. I’m not really doing anything, isn’t this a bit overkill?
Well… Lately, I feel like the evaluation among students has been raised a notch, but, despite that, I don’t think Ayla will show a favorable attitude towards me.
The most fundamental cause of her hostility to me, the entrance exam incident, has already been over ten months, so the anger may have subsided to some extent.
Above all, I was the one who relentlessly attacked Ayla, who was weak in actual force, as a weakness during the occupation of Ophelis Hall. There is a record of using her as a weakness to the point of being terribly weak, and even shooting a bow.
I can’t even say that if I twist it, it’s not weak… In any case, Ayla would not be able to look at me favorably.
Well, the reason I fell into arrogance isn’t because of Ayla’s attitude like that.
Just because of the time.
The sage’s sealing ceremony was really close to his nose. It is an event that signals the start of the final chapter of Act 2.
At the start of the Sensitivity Ceremony, Ayla had already been subdued by Glast.
I tried to remember. What was Ayla’s movement before and after the reaction ceremony?
Of course, it is quite difficult to recall such details, but… It’s going to happen right now.
In the main lobby of Trix Hall, the center of academic administration, the sage’s sealing ceremony is held.
The seal of the seal is released under the leadership of Professor Glast in the seat of the academic and commercial representatives.
And the principal, Obel, who is the current emissary, gives up his emissary authority, and Lortel goes to the podium to take over the emissary authority.
Then the explosion occurs before and after. All kinds of pre-engraved magic circles around the Trix Hall and the Bonseo display stand radiate magical powers, and the lobby becomes a mess.
In the meantime, Glast steals the vacant seal with the authority of the sensitive person and escapes to the underground waterway with Aila, who is suppressed by the ‘Time Prison’ magic, in the private laboratory of the Trix building.
“hey.”
After thinking about it up to that point, a small question arises about Ayla’s movement.
Ayla had already been suppressed by Professor Glast when the sealing ceremony was being held and was sealed in the Trix Building’s private laboratory.
Considering that the reaction ceremony was just around the corner, Ayla had to be suppressed. It’s unnatural to see a bachelor play like that naturally.
“Why are you here?”
“I… just… Professor Glast called… No, you don’t know.”
It felt as if the ominous foreboding was slowly becoming a reality.

My brain started spinning.
The appointment time has come. Gradually, Professor Glast will return to his private lab.
As I concentrate my mind in my ear, I hear the sound of weak footsteps coming from the far end of the hallway. It was highly likely that he was Professor Glast, who had completed his bachelor’s work. Now, running out into the hallway and meeting him one-on-one was most likely a handshake. There will be no witnesses in the hallway towards the lab, which is located in a corner.
I quickly got up from my seat. As it was, I strode towards the entrance where Ayla was. When she pulled out the dagger from the thigh dance, Ayla turned around in surprise.
“Ahhh! What are you doing!”
I didn’t even care about Isla’s reaction. He shoved his dagger into the edge of the entrance wall as it was, turned around and looked at the empty lab.
Professor Glast’s private laboratory, measuring less than four square meters, is a tomb of books and documents.
All kinds of academic administrative documents, academic books, personal research journals, and entry-level magic books were all over the place, filling the spacious laboratory.
As it was, he looked through the lab cabinets one by one, and quickly glanced at the documents on Professor Glast’s desk.
He quickly skimmed through his personal study journal in the corner of the drawer, and quickly read the books he had referenced and notes he had personally written.
The reading itself was instantaneous, as most of them knew from the beginning. More than 90% of the situation has already been assessed. The habit of checking whether changes have occurred in the future that I know of is already a habit.
Nevertheless, there are no significant variables.
Why did Professor Glast bring me to his private lab? I decided that it was urgent to find out the cause right now, but no matter how I look at it, the scenario is going well.
The future itself, in which Glast is subjugated by Taylor, is not difficult to draw.
However, if there is even a small crack, it must be checked and passed.
Judging by a quick brainstorm of the circumstances, Professor Glast summoned Ayla to his private lab to kidnap her.
It can be predicted easily. Considering that the Bongseo Reaction Ceremony is just around the corner, I have to act slowly.
The question is, why did you call me to the scene?
A vague sense of intuition says it. My life is also not very safe.
– Tokk tok tok tok
The sound of Prof. Glast’s footsteps approaching the lab across the hallway is getting closer and closer.
“Hey hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee…
Ayla, who was shaking with tears in the corner of the lab, slid down the wall and sat down.
I wondered if I was going to be so scared that I drew a dagger and approached him in a hurry… but then I changed my position and thought that it was enough.
I’m sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry.
I looked around at Professor Glast’s desk, and quickly opened all the drawers. I unfolded all the documents I saw, read them in a diagonal direction, threw them away, and flipped through the magic books to get a rough idea of what they were about.
She opens the cabinet and pours out the contents, looks through all the files that have been processed, and scans all the official documents.
From noblemtl.com
Most of them are known or insignificant or have nothing to do with this case.
As I was rummaging through documents like a thief looking for valuables, a file folder caught my eye in the corner of the filing cabinet.
– ‘Records of investigation into the occupation of Ophelis Hall and status of actions’
When I opened the papers under the large crystal ball, it was full of traces of my investigation into what I had done in the Ophelis Hall.
It was not Professor Glast’s work. When the bachelor’s side looked at the name of the person who handled this document, it was a name they knew.
– ‘I heard that Assistant Professor Claire went to the North Forest yesterday, have you ever met him? Ed?’
Suddenly, the information that Yenica gave me pierces my mind and appeals to my presence.
If you look at the crystal beads that were on the papers, they are the crystal beads used in bachelors. Now, the magical action has expired and no scenery is revealed, but it was not difficult to infer what kind of scene was captured by this crystal ball.
The moment you feel you need to quickly judge how things are going
– Bang!
The door opened and Professor Glast entered.
He is dressed neatly in a staff uniform and a pure white wizard’s robe, and his skinny body and outstretched hair still look fussy.
“Hey, Professor Glast!”
Ayla, startled, quickly got up.
Controlling his fearful body, he quickly hid behind Professor Glast.
“Do, help! That person with a dagger…!”
– Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
– Whoa, whoa!
A magical reaction fills the laboratory. Professor Glast’s collar floated as if he was in outer space, and in an instant a great pressure came over his body.
“Ahhh!”
Professor Glast stretched out his hand toward Isla, who had just lost it.
Unlike normal mana, which has a clear color by nature, the magical power used when using Aspect Magic is reddish.
A magical sensation thick as mud wrapped around Ayla, and soon the power of the Holy Spirit magic suppressed the fallen Ayla.
Star system magic ‘Time Prison’
Once overpowered by the Time Prison, it hardens like a block of stone and stays in place.
Unusually, until the effect is over, it cannot have any effect from the outside.
Pushing, scratching, smashing with stones, and cutting with knives have no effect on Ayla now.
“…”
Professor Glast’s expression didn’t even move.
As if dealing with everyday tasks, they reach out to me without even declaring that you are next. Dark red magical power climbed up Professor Glast’s body, and immediately directed me in that direction.
“Mug!”
It took less than a second to make a decision.
From noblemtl.com
My dagger, which was engraved on the edge of the entrance, is engraved with a spirit-style ‘explosion’.
Explosive magic is bound to accompany the chanting for quite a long time, but the pre-engraved spirit formula omits all processes and gives only the result.
– Bang!
“ね!”
Professor Glast, who was caught up in the explosion magic, was buried in the smoke and disappeared.
It was confirmed that he had taken a defensive stance just before disappearing from sight. There’s no way it could have been suppressed with one shot.
At the moment of the explosion in the first place, the noise suppression magic was activated in an instant so as not to increase the commotion. It was such a tremendous amount of reflexes and agility that it gave me goosebumps.
Anyway, that side is blocking the entrance, so you can’t move hastily. I flew away and slipped myself under Professor Glast’s desk.
The ‘Time Prison’ has no effect unless it directly touches the planetary magic.
Basically, that dark red mana is insanely difficult to deal with, and it disappears even if you lose concentration even a little, so if you dodge it quickly, you will never get hit.
“You’ve got a good grasp of the situation, Ed Roth-Taylor. It’s so smooth that I feel like I’m overreacting.”
In the rising smoke, the light of the eyes shines for an instant.
“Did you go through all my research papers and my academic journals in that short amount of time?”
I seem to think I’ve figured out Professor Glast’s intentions after going through his papers.
I’m sorry, but there was no need for that in the first place. From the beginning, he knew what kind of course of action Professor Glast was going to take.
However, I just didn’t expect the sparks to hit me.
“I can feel that I was anticipating and preparing for my attack in advance in my movements and coping. But oddly enough, I wouldn’t have been able to comprehend all my intentions by going through a few documents.”
“Professor Glast. Do you really need to subdue me?”
With a desk in between, I embodied the magic of fire at my fingertips.
Before Professor Glast arrived at the lab, I gathered all the paperwork and piled them up near the study desk.
At this point, it is impossible to distinguish which documents are important and which are unnecessary.
However, it must be difficult to burn the entire pile of papers of this size.
Actually, losing some documents is not a big deal.
Burning some paperwork won’t ruin all my plans right away, but I’m pretty sure things will get in the way.
Right now, the reaction is today and tomorrow, and it would be very difficult if things were disrupted like this.
So, although it is very weak, these documents could serve as hostages to some extent.
Of course, it’s really weak.
If I’m wrong, it’s enough if I sacrifice the documents and subdue me. However, Professor Glast would want to subdue me neatly with Aspect Magic without damaging the documents as much as possible.
dig into the void in the mind. If there is even the slightest hesitation, an opportunity to negotiate opens up at that moment.
“Professor Glast. It’s a baseless analogy, but Professor Glast needs Ayla’s sensitivity to… If that is the case, then you have conquered Aila, so you have accomplished your purpose. You don’t even need to overpower me. Because I have a heavy mouth.”
“If that’s the case, I wouldn’t even have called you into this lab.”
With Isla alone, all plans will go smoothly.
I couldn’t understand why they even called me and tried to subdue me.
“It means something to me. It’s for that purpose, so don’t take it too badly.”
Isn’t it too much to try to choke on such vague words? please explain something
In fact, it may have been a natural thing to do, as there was no rescue at all even when he took down Ayla.
If you are suppressed like this, you will be taken along with Ayla to Professor Glast’s secret laboratory.
The list of magics that Professor Glast uses and how to deal with them are terribly familiar.
Even this place is a laboratory in the middle of the Trix building. There’s nothing good about getting things bigger, so I’ll try to subdue me with magic that has no effect and is small in scale.
If that’s the case, you might be thinking of a way to beat Professor Glast and escape the Trix Hall. As I was thinking about even breaking down the wall, a new possibility suddenly popped into my head.
…Isn’t it okay to just be kidnapped? It was kind of a counter-intuition.
The ‘Time Prison’ magic consumes a lot of mana, so the time limit is clear. In addition, if the two of them are subdued, their magic power will run out within a few days.
As in the case of love affairs, after taking the sage’s seal, I and Ayla will be locked up in a room in the secret laboratory. Time Prison Magic was also dispelled.
If that’s the case, isn’t that the story of cutting off a direct bus to Professor Glast’s secret lab at no cost…?
Even if things don’t go well, Taylor and the others will break into the secret lab and play a chess game. Wouldn’t it be best to take advantage of that time to grab everything you need and run away?
I know the secret lab structure so damn well. There is no need to go into the waterway with a headache for nothing and secretly follow the subjugation team and torment Yenika.
Taylor’s specs are already strong enough, and the subjugation force itself will never be weak.
Is this just… kidnapped?
“Hmm…”
From noblemtl.com
My brain started spinning again.
Even if I succeed in escaping from here, Professor Glast cannot stand still. Rather, it is more likely that the responsive ceremony schedule will be disrupted by running around hoping to subdue me after seeing Professor Glast’s true nature.
Conversely, being kidnapped on purpose is not without risk. When things go wrong while I’m away and the scenario gets weird, there’s really no one to take action.
I’m checking the flow of the story so thoroughly that I wonder if it really should be like this, but no one knows how things will turn out.
We have no choice but to weigh well which one is more risky, and ultimately choose one.
“It would be better not to resist in any way. I won’t have time to explain it at length, so I’ll omit it, but it won’t be too bad for you either. Ed Roth Taylor.”
Having said that, Professor Glast, who once again drew out dark red magic, was trampled upon by his eyes.
I carefully lifted my cover, stepped off my desk, and looked directly at Professor Glast.
“Hey, are you ready to fight? Or did you come up with any plans?”
Facing Professor Glast, I stood still with my eyes wide open.
The rising magic begins to fire towards me.
*
– Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
All kinds of documents and magic books are restored to their proper place by Professor Glast’s telekinetic magic.
In the private laboratory that had been cleaned to some extent, there were two people who had completely hardened.
There is one figure of Ayla rolling down the floor with a face full of fear.
And, standing upright, without avoiding Professor Glast’s magic, there was one image of Ed that he received in front of him.
Professor Glast sat down at his work desk and opened Ed’s research log once more.
The conversation I had with assistant professor Claire, who had been organizing the records, came to mind.
– ‘History of Magic, Introduction to Spirits, Handwriting of Elements, Ecology of Monsters, Common Magical Science, Analysis of Sensation Principles, Magical Science, Introduction to Magical Engineering, Herbology, Introduction to Law, Different Elements…. All writing fields are close to perfect marks. I got a score.’
– ‘Right! It’s because my grades went up vertically as I entered my sophomore year! The performance of the practical class is a bit vague, but it is still on a steady rise. The overall magical power itself is still slightly below the average level of the second year, but the rate of growth is ridiculous. It looks like he even made a spirit contract, but it makes sense that he collapsed from overwork.’
Assistant professor Claire smashed the papers and talked excitedly.
– ‘I was suspicious of my eyes when I first saw the trend of sexual fluctuations. To live such a wild life and achieve this level of academic achievement. I wondered if I was living alone for 48 hours a day! really!’
Assistant Professor Claire was looking through Ed’s grades provided by the Academic Headquarters.
In the first place, it was not in the school year in charge, and the number of students was not one or two, so it was impossible to keep track of all the changes in grades one by one.
However, once my eyes were focused on Ed, I had no choice but to stick my tongue out after checking the personal information about him.
Claire’s assistant professor is also quite adept at self-management.
It looks like a screw-up, but it’s as true as having a professorship at such a young age anyway.
Being such a woman, I could clearly see how absurd hard work was in Ed’s routine and lifestyle.
– ‘This is… the evidence that you really worked hard. Professor Glast knows it well, but Ed’s talent is at a level that can’t be said with empty words.’
All of a sudden, Claire’s tone was fading.
– ‘How much effort must have been made to vomit… I do not dare to estimate.’
– ‘It’s a different story from when you’re talking about black screens and stuff. Claire assistant professor.’
– ‘Oh, no, but…! I didn’t know the record would be like this…!’
Professor Glast closed the papers and tossed them on the desk.
While still buried in the chair, he looked at Ed, who had completely hardened by the time prison.
It was at that moment when an ominous magic attacked her body, but she didn’t even blink. There was no expression of anxiety on his face. When it comes to the subject that was the moment when he was enchanted by Glast’s magic, the sight of him feeling even certain certainty makes his tongue stick out.
As a descendant of the Roth Taylor family, who grew up receiving all kinds of noble treatment, he would have lived a life like a king until he was excommunicated.
However, less than a year had passed, but her hands were full of calluses, and her body was just scratched.
The slender and weak-looking body was already full of fine muscles, and its shape was barely visible even from the collar.
His battle sense, which he saw from beyond the crystal ball, cannot be easily overlooked.
Coordinating the battlefield, thoroughly analyzing the opponent, and mobilizing all available means to win the game is an ability that cannot be possessed by anyone who overwhelms the opponent with only natural talent.
It’s the fighting style of the weak.
This is an area that can only be reached by humbly acknowledging that I am weaker than my opponent and never giving up on winning. The mind must be stronger than the body.
What comes to mind is ‘lost’.
It’s a wound that I thought has healed now.
The memory of the back of the daughter who shouted that she would raise her father’s name by establishing a major, as she set out on the road to subdue the monster tribes, comes to mind again.
“…”
Glast, who sits still and organizes his thoughts, doesn’t even notice.
—The appearance of a small bat protruding from under Ed’s collar and quickly flying out of the door.
Even Professor Glast, who had basic Spirit Sensitivity, was not able to catch that momentary gap. There was too much to think about.
The original plan was to kidnap Ailaman, but suddenly suppressing Ed too was a bit improvised.
Still, Ed doesn’t have a very wide relationship with him, and he has a complex reputation, so it wouldn’t be a big fuss if he disappeared right away. It will be fine for a few days.
It’s not a whim to the point where it’s going to cause a major setback in the plan.
With that in mind, Professor Glast quietly relaxed his body.
Bonfire smoke rises.
Camp in the North Forest. A simmering chicken soup over the bonfire awaits tasting.
A young girl spirit who hums and stirs the soup, and a dwarf wizard who snores and sleeps on the edge of the hut roof.
Their appearance is as natural as everyday life… but the owner of the camp doesn’t show it.
As the exam period is getting closer and the semester is coming to a close, there are many things to do, so it is natural to go home late.
I’m always a busy person, so it’s inevitable. While making such a monologue, the young spirits star blankly at the night sky.
As I was doing this, a burning bat flew through the grass and hurriedly flew over and sat on the girl’s shoulder.
As she whispers something into the girl’s ear with a desperate look, the girl’s movements gradually subside.
The wind blows, and the trees in the forest sway.
The autumn night was deepening.
