#17
Wednesday morning. I woke up like a knife, so I’m going to wash up early and prepare for the workout again this time.
—You have sent 1 mail to Ezio Cranil. Please check.
An unidentified mail has arrived.
‘what?’
I sat down on the bed and looked at what the delivery man had given me.
It was just a paper bag. sealed paper bag. What was inside was like a pile of fairly heavy documents. Who sent me this?
I turned the paper bag over and looked down at the front. It had the name of the sender who sent me the mail.
“ah.”
That’s it.
Alpris sent me. I said something. I knew what the contents were before I even opened it.
When I saw that a research thesis for a group project was sent in this way without having to make an appointment, I thought that there was no need to meet because it was simply handing over something. Or I finished this thesis in one day and stretched it out on the bed. The former is probably correct, but it could be both.
I don’t know what you’re doing right now, but you must have suffered.
—Gee profit.
ripped the envelope Tomorrow is already the release date. Usually, group assignments were given a deadline of two weeks, but this lecture was given only one week. I wondered if I could make it on time, but somehow it seems to have succeeded.
“… … Five.”
The moment I glanced at the result in the envelope, I exclaimed briefly.
The quality is unbelievable that it was pulled out in a day or two. The thickness is appropriate. It is felt on the palm of the hand that Alpris has shredded his soul. You write very well. He is also a learned person, right?
Thanks to Alpris’ thesis, my presentation seemed to be even easier. I have to work as hard as I can. I carry it in my bag and read it whenever I have time.
Hmm, I should have written a script too.
I mean, when you go on stage, you have to do it without a script. I was confident in memorizing or memorizing, so I didn’t worry too much. Because it’s tomorrow, I just felt a little rushed.
As I read through the contents of a table of contents, I focused my eyes on the story about unique magic-especially ‘white’.
It wasn’t very long. Whether white is a very rare color that has only a very few unique magical powers on the continent, or using the theory of a related person, Tetra Crowley, as an example, guessing the unclear identity of white magic… …
‘It’s interesting.’
Maybe it’s because the writing was coherent and well-written, but whenever a story about Tetra Crowley came up, I was immersed in reading it.
‘… … Does it mean that the color of ordinary magic changes to the color of unique magic when it reaches a certain point of singularity?’
That was new information. Of course, it is said that there are not many people who have reached such a level. Right now, the only thing Alfres did was count on the continent. It was only natural that Tetra Crowley was included among the dogs.
“Hmm… … ”
Tetra Crowley.
What the hell is he doing?
I have to go exercise. After spending an hour reading the thesis and sitting there for about an hour, I suddenly realized that the dawn was coming out of the window and turned my head to one side.
A note from Elena that I kept in the corner of the dormitory room table to avoid losing it while carrying it in my arms. I said that if I showed you that, even if Tetra didn’t like it, he would grant my request at least once.
Elena said it was a threat. Is it real? It’s just a simple note. Besides, I roughly ripped the piece of paper next to me and wrote it. How do I write something inside so that my unfamiliar request will be granted… …
uhm. Even Elena-senpai didn’t say that you shouldn’t open it. He reached out his hand without thinking. He grabbed the note and carefully unfolded it.
After a while, when the folded papers were returned to their original shape one after another, I was finally able to find that Elena’s writings were lined up.
Let’s see, what did you write?
Well.
uhm.
Hmmm?
… … ugh.
“What’s this?”
—Falak.
I turned the paper upside down.
Still to no avail.
He shook his head and put it back to normal. I don’t know either. what the hell A pitiful expression was built up.
What was Elena-sunbaenim’s intention to write this note?
「—. ——. ——. -. ———. —.」
It wasn’t the official language used in the Empire, but it was scrawled with strange characters whose identity was unknown.
It is roughly written in about five or six lines in a similar format. Of course, I couldn’t read anything written on it.
Rather than a text message for communication, it feels almost like a formula.
Which country’s language is now lost?
I’ve never seen anything like this in a book. Since each letter has slightly different shapes and characteristics, it seems that there is a system of language in place. Maybe it’s an ancient script. If it’s true, then why did you write a note with such a text message? …
‘Is the last one a common language?’
I was able to figure this out too.
“*P.s. that’s not me Anyway, not.”
So what is it?
It was a note for Tetra Crowley, not me, so maybe it’s for her. I had no way of knowing.
Still, I knew one thing.
A single pattern written, no, drawn at the end of the note. Apparently Elena bit her finger in the middle and wrote something with that blood. There was even a blue light for a while. It is certain that some kind of magical treatment was applied. I just have no idea what it really is.
“… … ”
The moment I looked at the note for a long time.
My eyes naturally darkened.
Whoops.
When I gave myself to the accidental attraction, put magical power in my fingertips, and touched the pattern with the slightest force——.
… … hot.
A light just shone from the glyph. calmed down
As soon as I let go of my hand, the light fades away.
“Wow, it must have been a big deal… … ?”
I think it’s dangerous stuff.
let’s not touch
I folded it again in the form of a note along the crease, carefully placed it on the table as if managing a bomb, and prepared to go out.
#18
“Good morning, Rubia.”
“… … Oh, Ezio?”
I met Rubia in the lobby on the first floor of Building 3.
It was a workout a little later than usual. I was in training clothes, and Rubia was in a neat uniform.
As I always think, Rubia’s skin is really white and white, so I get the impression that it goes very well with the pure white uniform.
Rubia, who was standing with her back on her back, leaned to the side and asked me.
“good morning. But why do you look like that… … ?”
“No, just. I think the uniform suits you well.”
“… uh?”
“Where are you going in the morning? I go to exercise.”
When he said that with his clammy arms spinning, Rubia, who had her eyes wide open for a moment, answered with a clumsy smile.
“Ahh! Me and I have some business to do at the Student Union for a while… … ”
“Student hall? Why are you there?”
Rubia continued to answer my question.
“Professor Tyler said yesterday. Those who have not joined the circle, please join immediately.”
“Oh, it was. then?”
“I want to go and get a list of my active circles. I have to choose carefully… … ”
“… Well? Haven’t you decided where to join the circle?”
When I asked you last time, didn’t you say you’d join a magic-related circle? At my brief smirk, Rubia waved her hands.
“Oh, no. nothing has been decided yet I’m just interested, I thought I’d give it some time to watch… … I changed my mind a bit.”
“I see.”
It was surprising. It didn’t mean that Rubia was being dishonest, though, so there’s nothing to worry about. There’s no reason for that. I hope Rubia has a fun school life. If you choose a circle that suits your taste, it will definitely be fun in the future. I said.
“You made a good choice. Studying too much is not good.”
“Ezio who says that is always studying and training. You might as well take a little rest. Every time I see you, I workout here.”
“yes? Do you often come to the 3rd building room too?”
“… … !”
Rubia added hastily.
“Oh, I mean. If I want to see you sometimes, I always come here. I’ve only seen him exercise once while passing by. therefore… … ”
what. You’ve seen me work out in the gym. Probably most of them were laughing. I’m a little shy.
I nodded and answered.
“I see. What… … That’s right, it might be good to take a break. I think so too these days. I think I’ve been living a very tight life, so I’m going to take a break.”
“Yes… … ”
ahaha… Rubia, who was smiling awkwardly, suddenly asked.
“Ezio wants to join the circle… … I have?”
“… uh, well.”
I really have no idea.
“If I had to say one thing, what about travel?”
“… … Travel? ah.”
Rubia nodded her head, perhaps remembering what happened last time. travel, travel. Rubia quietly rolls the word in her small lips.
I looked away from that side and muttered as I saw the elevator coming down from upstairs.
“When you were young, you and your family traveled a lot.”
“… … ”
Rubia smiled slightly as if recalling that time.
“… … Yes, it was.”
A voice that seems to draw memories somewhere.
I was talking.
“From my standards, I’ve only been to that time. The feeling of going on a trip with the members will be different, but I think it will be helpful for healing. I heard they go outside the empire. I think it would be good to broaden my horizons… … for once yes It has not been decided yet.”
“I see… … ”
After a while, the elevator arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
Rubia next to me,
“… travel, good I think it will be fine.”
Saying that, he smiled softly.
—Tiling.
To go to the Student Union, you have to get off the same floor as me. Rubia and I were silent while going up the floor in the same elevator.
However, I kept thinking.
“… … ”
“… … ”
There was silence for no reason, a beep sounded, and the elevator door opened. Rubia, who had been standing with her back for some reason, didn’t move a single step behind me, so I took one step outside first.
Whoops.
Then Rubia follows me and walks slowly.
right at that moment.
“!”
“Stay still.”
She quickly turned her body to the opposite side and grabbed Rubia’s arm, which was startled. I didn’t give it too much force. ’cause I can’t get hurt Rubia, who has turned white, hurriedly tries to shake off my hand. never let go
“Oh, Ezio. stop… … ”
“… … ”
I looked straight into Rubia’s eyes.
“… … 👌”
Rubia bit her lip and looked away from me.
The shadows cast on the pale complexion are clear.
… … It must be raining at first, or you must have accidentally injured yourself while doing something. I used to think so, but now I can’t ignore it.
Because it only got worse day by day.
Now that I see it with my own eyes, I can’t ignore it. Rubia herself knew that too, and she has been holding back since meeting me.
to cover your hands.
I opened my mouth low.
“You, why are you doing this?”
“… … ”
Rubia’s pretty nails.
It was torn and ripped all over the place.
