612 – 7.5 The season is autumn (1)
A morning wrapped in silence has come to the academy.
It was a place that had been struggling with a long battle. Although there was a commotion in the process, such as students being cursed or fleeing, the academy was somehow returning to its daily life.
It was the end of a summer that seemed to last forever.
The earth, freed from the infernal heat, gave off a fresh scent. This smell, which can only be smelled right before harvest, has awakened the joy imprinted in our genes since long ago.
For the first time in a while, no shade could be seen on the faces of the students who had gathered in groups of three or five. As if to compensate for the time he had been trembling with unknown threats.
How could there be no scars?
Amidst the vitality that the academy has regained, there is sadness over her husband. Those who do not know what kind of incident occurred do not know, but the more deeply involved in the incident, the deeper scars were bound to remain.
For example, the country.
My body was so full of scars that there was not a single healthy place. Due to the abuse of healing magic, my body could not easily recover even with the medicines possessed by the imperial family.
Even after wrapping the bandages all over my body, I was unable to move.
Every time I moved my limbs, a sharp pain hit my joints. Originally, I was supposed to lie in bed all day waiting for painkillers, but I couldn’t bear it.
Because there were many people who were hurt more than me.
I was about to visit one of them.
Smart.
“Seria?”
To see her man wearing a white bandage visit a female junior who lives alone.
It was a situation that could cause some misunderstanding, but there was no gossip about me here. I don’t know if it comforts me.
I came to do my duty on behalf of everyone.
Responsibility to restore injured comrades to their normal lives.
Thankfully, Seria was a lovely junior who respected and relied on me. Of course, I had no choice but to expect that if I stepped forward, I would at least show her face, but I was mistaken.
Even if Seria’s wounds were deep, they were too deep.
It seemed that the girl’s heart had already been firmly shut, as she refused to visit her at all. The evidence is right in front of my eyes.
A door with no sign of opening, and the writing in front of it.
‘Sorry.’
What on earth are you sorry for?
Seria did nothing wrong. Much of her was just because she couldn’t get over her mother’s bloodline. No matter how evil she was, she couldn’t be sinful from her birth.
Still, Seria was burying herself in the grave of her guilt.
It shouldn’t be like this.
I knocked on the door again with unresolved questions.
Smart.
“Seria? Are you okay? I heard she doesn’t even eat these days… It’s fine if it’s just for a moment, so let’s talk…….”
“I’m sorry.”
It was only one word.
I felt my heart sink at that weak tone, soaked in fatigue and remorse. Indeed, it was the voice of her junior, whom she hadn’t heard in a long time.
Like a sailor who discovered an island in the open sea, my heart vomited words at will.
“Seria, are you okay? Don’t do that, come out… I heard the matter. But it’s not your fault, is it? Because none of us are blaming you…….”
“I’m sorry.”
But that’s the end.
No matter how much I talked to her after that, there was no answer from Seria. In my heart, I wanted to forcefully open the door and enter, but how could I understand the heart of a wounded girl?
In the end, in frustration, I threw down my hand to break the door.
Thump thump!
Still, there was no voice coming back.
My head finally popped and knocked on the door. There was a smell of wood, and a deep sigh escaped from the depths of his lungs.
“…… Damn it.”
Selene is still invisible, and Seria has imprisoned herself.
The chilly temperature was rapidly approaching. The season is autumn now.
It was a time when all life was preparing for trials.

Did you say that the relationship between luxury and magic is like a thread and a needle?
From noble mtl dot com
Although I was suffering from the problems of my two juniors, not only tragedy was waiting for me. In other words, I’d say they’re exceptional.
The good news is overflowing.
First of all, Archwitch.
“You are ‘first’.”
It was a boring declaration.
Even I, who was summoned by the sudden call, was bewildered. This is the most secret place among the main building of the academy.
It was a place where key figures from each country gathered to take care of the aftermath of a major incident. It was said in front of dozens of powerful people, so at least it wouldn’t be a joke.
A question passed over the pupils of the audience including me.
What are you talking about?
It didn’t take long to find the answer.
“The second one is that ignorant Rinella kid, and the last one… ….”
First, second, youngest.
There were not many relationships in which a person who would normally be a great witch would use such a title. I don’t know if her family is still alive, but the High Witch had just killed the last bloodline with her own hands.
Then there is only one possibility left.
It meant that he was referring to a family-like relationship.
The relationship between the priest and the master.
One of the masters of the time was personally choosing who to pass on the vision to. There are only a handful of people with a liver big enough to argue about this, but unfortunately, one of them was in the middle of the day.
“…… For a moment!”
It was a loud request for a cessation.
It was a middle-aged man with impressive gray hair and beard. His bleached hair testified to the man’s formidable age, but his body was strong enough to be compared with that of a young man.
Imperial Swordsman.
The best swordsman on the continent in name and reality, and the elder of the imperial family attended this place on behalf of the emperor.
The air froze for an instant at that slightly hostile tone.
“Grandma, are you crazy?”
It was a word he spat out while grinding his teeth.
It was the rage of a being that could slaughter an entire country’s army if it set its mind to it. Around the time when the magical energy of the whole area naturally responds to its will and begins to raise its spirits.
Gulp, I heard the sound of someone swallowing dry saliva.
It’s dangerous.
I don’t know if it was before, but after the vampire was subdued, the great witch regained her full power. Although her outward appearance has maintained the same youthful appearance as before.
What if the two Masters collide here?
One or two buildings were going to collapse ridiculously. Of course, the lives of the people gathered here will be at stake.
Whether or not he knew that feeling, the swordsman frowned even more and raised his voice.
“I should have told you earlier, but that little boy will succeed me and become the guardian of the Empire…… !”
It was then.
The main witch’s plaintive voice continued.
“The last one, let’s make it a child of the imperial family… So, was your name ‘Shien’?”
“…… It’s planned to be, but it wouldn’t be bad to make a bond with this opportunity! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
In an instant.
At the nomination of the great witch, the swordsmith’s anger melted like snow in front of her in the spring sun.
Of course, that wasn’t the end.
While I and the rest of the audience were in a state of bewilderment, the swordsman even patted my back and spared no encouragement.
“Now, now!. Even though he’s not as good as me, the elder’s vision is also useful, so learn it well. Do you know Will there be a masterpiece that applies the visions of the two masters in the future?”
“Nonsense.”
However, such a warm atmosphere did not last long.
It was because the archwitch immediately snorted at her and raised an objection.
“I don’t know if they are written separately, combining the two visions into one? That’s impossible… Even if it were possible, it would take a lot of trial and error. If you fail even once, your brain will explode.”
It was a word that came out without any malice.
The tribe of wizards had this aspect. Since my own world is so firm, I express my opinion without notice. It wouldn’t be that he didn’t have social prestige just because he was an opponent.
In particular, isn’t the swordsman the master of the empire and the elder of the imperial family?
There was no way I could just quietly agree.
The swordsman snorted at her, not hiding her displeasure.
“…… Heh, nothing else I don’t know.”
A battle of pride between two immature adults.
It was a trivial incident that would have been named that way if it ended like this, but the problem was that the swordsman’s opponent was a great witch.
What is a wizard?
As I explained earlier, they were stubborn people who had no clue whatsoever and were corpses except for their pride. There was no way that she was an exception because she was an archwitch.
Eventually, the woman came to recite her hidden truth.
“Ttsk tsk, to force yourself. I couldn’t believe I became a girl for a few days, and even my heart became like that… Wow?! Eh, is this crazy?!”
The result was the same as always.
The swordsmith drew his sword, and the secret history was buried in the darkness of the empire.
It was indeed a peaceful daily life.
