12 – Sensia School (1)
When Ern entered, the door closed quietly again.
The first floor structure of the magic tower looked like a hotel lobby. This point was not much different from other magic towers.
The floor was decorated with luxurious marble, and the sofas and tables here and there were kept clean.
“…Are you there?”
But there was no one. It was quiet.

Ern was the only one moving and making sounds in this vast space. She felt as if she was walking through a place where time had stopped.
The information desk, where regular employees and trainee wizards were busy working, was naturally vacant.
-Tap, step, step.
The sound of Ern’s footsteps echoed and spread throughout the first floor.
After she discovered something, Erne headed towards the information desk. There was a single opaque glass plate standing on top of it.
‘Magic Tower automatic system?’
As Ern approached, neat handwriting appeared on her glass plate.
[Welcome. Please tell me your business.]
‘Wow, did you make something like this?’
Ern was surprised by the technology of the Sensia Magic Tower.
“I am sending a letter to the Lord of the Magic Tower-“
-Ding!
Before Ern could finish her sentence, the door behind the desk opened.
[Have a nice day.]
The writing disappeared without a trace.
“……”
For some reason, I felt bad.
First, Ern got into the elevator.
There are various magical engineering inventions in this world. And among them, nothing was created and commercialized as quickly as the elevator.
Magical engineering development is done by wizards. And wizards are basically stair haters.
It was a well-known fact that older wizards spent their budget and participated in research.
The elevator went up smoothly and reached the top floor. When the door opened, the glass plate I had seen earlier on the first floor was on the hallway wall.
[Last room]
‘Why is this in this condition?’
It was surprising that something like a tablet PC was created in a fantasy world.
But I couldn’t help but feel like I couldn’t be trusted….
‘Is this the main room of the magic tower?’
Rogera Tien.
The second owner of the Sensia Magic Tower.
The appearance of Rogera seen in the original work seemed to embody ‘gogoham’.
She also had a part in forming the mysterious image of the Sensia School in the first place.
Rosera rarely came out of the magic tower.
During her few outside activities, she always displayed an elegant and cultured demeanor. Her elegant and dignified speech not only solidified her position but also made her shine even brighter.
There is a saying, ‘Friends resemble each other.’
Agnes Sensia and her close friend Rosera had many similarities. First of all, the two had something in common: they were both young and beautiful.
In addition, both of them showed outstanding distinction from the moment they entered magic, and built up their circles at a rate incomparable to others.
So when Agnes began her retreat and handed over the Magic Tower, no one could raise a disagreement.
Even after becoming the second Mage Tower lord, Rogera proudly represented the Sensia School.
‘She was quite a likeable character.’
A woman named Rose would sometimes appear when things were forgettable, and she would provide great help or use magnificent magic.
Even though I couldn’t target her as a heroine, I felt reassured and glad just by her appearance.
So Ern entered her magic tower and looked forward to meeting her. I was also curious about what she would look like when we met, not as an academy cadet, but as her close friend’s student and adopted son.
I took out her letter in advance and knocked.
“Lord of the Magic Tower?”
“…Huh? Come on~”
“?”
The voice was indeed Rogera’s.
‘But why are you speaking like that… ?’
The office of Matapju was spacious and luxurious. It was decorated with a luxurious yet clean interior, and books were neatly arranged on the walls.
When you see a room like this, you usually expect to smell the scent of books. But the only reality Ern faced was the strong smell of alcohol.
The Master of Magic Tower was rolling around on the sofa, heavily intoxicated by her drink.
“Lily? I haven’t had much to drink…”
“……”
She was lying down, covering her eyes with one arm, and grumbled at Ern without moving.
Roger Ra’s appearance was completely opposite to her usual image.
Her long red hair was strewn about the arm of her sofa. The robe she was wearing was wrinkled.
Empty liquor bottles were rolling around the sofa. It seemed like there was a variety of drinks to choose from, like at a buffet.
“I’m sorry~ Actually, it’s a lie… But a good inspiration occurred to me hehehe…”
“…Tower owner?”
“hehehehe… Ugh… ?”
Rose Ra woke up and rubbed her eyes. She then stared blankly at Ern, but then she looked confused.
“…Who?”
***
“You are Ern?”
Rosera, who had come to her senses by blowing away her drunkenness with her magic, sat across from Ern across the dance desk at her home.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Rose. You’ve heard a lot of gossip about me, right?”
“Yes…?”
“Oh, I guess you didn’t hear. Well, I don’t think Agnes would gossip about me behind her personality.”
“….”
‘Why is the premise that there was gossip??’
Ern became increasingly anxious. Her expectations for Rose Ra, whom she had pictured in her head, have long since disappeared.
I can’t believe he was such a different person!
No matter how different people are in society and at home… This felt a bit excessive.
I don’t know if it was because she had already shown an ugly side, or because he was her close friend’s student, but it seemed like she had decided to take it easy on Rosera Ern.
“But how did you get in here? The front door must have been locked.”
“It just opened?”
“…The system didn’t kick you out?”
“The system has guided us here.”
Rosera scratched her head.
‘Even though Agnes registered in advance…’ . Are you saying that your authority is at least the same as mine? Is it really higher than me?’
“Um… okay, we’ll find out about that later. By the way, how is Agnes?”
“Master has disappeared.”
“Really? Again? Where did you go?”
“I’m not sure about that. First of all, you left a letter for the tower owner.”
[Quest: Teacher’s Letter Completed]
[Reward: 20,000P]
[Current points held: 39,860P]
“This is definitely Agnes’ letter.”
After receiving the envelope of the letter, Rogera recognized its authenticity at a glance. This was because when she and Agnes exchanged letters, they always had a unique magical touch.
There was no possibility of manipulation. This was because it was a password created by the 8th Circle Archmages from the beginning.
“I’m already scared of what they’ll ask me this time~ Last time, I tried to appease you by registering you as an adopted son. Do you know how difficult it was to process that?”
“….”
“I’m just saying this. Don’t feel pressured~”
Rose used magic to open the envelope and take out the letter. Then I read it seriously.
She showed various changes in her expression as she read her letter.
Her eyes widened slightly and she looked surprised, but she also frowned and tilted her head as she read. Then she read it carefully from beginning to end again, and then nodded slightly with a smile as if she understood.
Rosera snapped her fingers, and a blue flame caught her letter.
She watched in silence as her letter burned. The letter disappeared without leaving a trace.
Rosera kept her silence for a while, staring blankly at the spot where her letter had been.
‘What was it about?’
Agnes Sensia. This strange archmage was a character that left many questions to players.
If you search a little, you can find traces she left behind in her magical world here and there, but she herself did not appear until the ending.
Agnes’s retirement without knowing the reason continued until the end even when the story reached its final stage.
The world had become a mess, and it was impossible to continue living in seclusion without knowing.
Because of this, a joke spread that ‘the production team accidentally deleted the character model and buried it.’
‘It’s full of things I don’t know, even as a student.’
Even the letter I found in the cabin felt like there was a lot of information being hidden. Moreover, the ‘fragments of memory’ were not yet intact.
‘My existence was questionable in the first place….’
If there had been a disciple and adopted son of Agnes Sensia, it would have definitely been mentioned in the original work, but nothing came to mind.
“Come on!”
As if to brighten her mood, Rosera clapped her hands and shouted in a lively voice.
“Oh, I’m surprised.”
“I have a lot of work to do now, but first, I have a question.”
Rosera used telekinetic magic to take out a book kept in her desk drawer. Then she opened the middle and held it out to Ern.
“What do you think this is?”
A complicated magic circle like a maze was drawn on the page. It was magic that seemed to be of a high level even at first glance.
“It’s a magic book, right?”
“What magic.”
“Yes?”
“Want to guess what magic it is?”

[Incomplete.]
[It is impossible to acquire.]
“…… “
This was a problem that could not be solved. No, it was a problem that couldn’t be solved.
Ern looked at Rosera without her saying a word, trying to figure out her intentions.
“It’s okay. You can answer.”
Rogera, who had been released until just now, could not be found.
Before she knew it, the noble magic tower lord she had seen in the original was sitting in front of her.
