7. Terror Notice
7. Terror warning
Academia was buzzing with rumors that there was a new subject.
Of course, because of the name of the peer response squad, ordinary warriors did not know its purpose, and they were just surprised by the return of Professor Lisbeth.
Actually, there was a bigger issue of Academia’s non-magic zone, but in reality, few people could feel it even though it was such a transition, so it was buried implicitly.
Come to think of it, realizing that she couldn’t use her magic and rushing to tell the professors was probably a reason for disciplinary action. It’s like saying I illegally released my magic.
‘There’s a chance that at least one person will come out?’
If he didn’t know that the chairman himself did it, he would have had the courage to volunteer, thinking that something serious had happened to the academia’s environment.
I thought it would be a very funny thing in many ways.
But it really happened.
I was drinking tea in the Orien and Eros Circle room for the first time in a long time since it was the weekend. Professor Lisbeth, who was in charge of escorting me while Academia was maintained as a non-magic zone, also enjoyed tea time by her side.
But suddenly the door burst open and Winds came in.
“Hey, Orien, it’s a big deal!!!”
It was a voice so loud that it rippled through the water in the teacup. Sitting leisurely at the table, we exchanged glances with unbelievable glances.
But sure enough.
“Magic power… The magical power within the academia has been completely sealed!!!”
“…..”
“…..”
“…..”
“Uh, what is it? Oh, Alem? Even Lisbeth’s sister?”

Winds’ blue hair was wet.
After washing in the morning, he habitually tried to dry it using magic, but realized that no magic was manifested, so he ran all the way here.
“………”
Now Wins’ face is flushed red. She’s as sweet as a tomato, as sweet as a strawberry, but she’s hot and flushed.
Right after I heard Orien explain her circumstances, I’ve been in that state ever since.
“I must have received the news late because an urgently called faculty meeting was held at night.”
Orien laughed.
It was probably morning at the earliest when the vigilante received the information. That said, it was information that I would have come to know naturally if I had just dried her hair normally in the morning and went to work as a vigilante.
For some reason, I’m glad I didn’t run to any professor. That would have been a million times more embarrassing than the current situation.
“Still, it’s so fortunate that this happened after the magic release was approved.”
Orien twitched the corners of her mouth and drove her dagger into her winds chest.
“If you came to see me after finding out the serious fact that Academia had become a non-magic zone during the illegal liberation, I would…. Then….Kuh….”
She was speechless and covered her face with her book. Her shoulders were very uplifted. Not only that, Professor Lisbeth was already on the table, trembling. In the end, I was the only one sitting normally.
“Kuhm.”
For some reason, the horse’s tail turned to me, and I’m dying. I’m on the verge of going crazy trying to manage my facial expression.
As I opened her mouth, Winds looked this way with her hatchet eyes open. She is so heartbroken that there is no other puffer fish.
“I, um, I think it could be…” “
“Did you just laugh?”
Ah, I was caught.
“Haa… “
Said Wins, running her hair through her distraught expression.
“…Anyway, it’s not a big deal, so that’s okay. I thought there was another terrorist attack… “
His face and even his ears were still red, but his attitude was surprising as he showed the appearance of a vigilante leader. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a serious look.
“Oh, and.”
Winds said, fidgeting on her sleeve.
“Hey, I want to follow you for a second… ?”
“Yes?”
“I have something to tell you…”
As Orien booed, Winds immediately raised a stop… She tried to catch Lisbeth’s glare and slipped her fingers together.
Then, reluctantly, she grabbed my sleeve and dragged me outside. Before she left the circle room, she met her eyes with Lisbeth’s, who nodded her head as if to come.
The Eros Circle room is located on the outskirts of the city, far away from the center where people often come and go. Of course, it was inside the Accademia, but it was quite out of the center, and there were almost no people just because there was an Eros Circle room.
I liked the quiet and strange atmosphere of the half-ruined old school.
Now, thanks to this kind of leisure, I don’t even know if I can come to the circle room and drink tea with Orien whenever I have time.
Anyway, in the backyard of the old school building, where such a mystery lingers.
“So, that… “
Winds was stretching the tail of her horse, rubbing only her shoes on her ground. She’s been like that since a while ago, and I don’t know what the hell she’s trying to say.
“That… “
It’s been quite some time since she was teased for making a fuss, but why are her face and ears still red?
“I… senior?”
In the end, I couldn’t watch it, so I opened my mouth.
“I wonder if I did something wrong… “
“Uh, huh?”
Startled, Winds looked at me with her wide eyes. As soon as she uttered her word ‘wrong,’ she jerked her body convulsively, then in a voice that she couldn’t control, she said.
“Wrong… ? No, no! So, it’s the other way around! It seems like I’ve only been accusing you without evidence until now, and I’m sorry that it was forced again… “
Are you here to apologize?
I am both surprised and bewildered, but more than that, I began to understand what Wins’ coffee baptism, which has continued to this day, meant.
“Also, when I heard that he suffered from mental illness not too long ago, it doesn’t seem like anyone else. !”
A light laugh came out of nowhere.
“What else am I saying?”
As I smiled, Wins looked at the corner of her mouth. It was only after confirming that she was smiling that she let go of her frozen expression to some extent.
“…Anyway, I want to apologize.”
She seemed to have lost her nerves as she uttered gibberish, so Wins asked for forgiveness with a calmer expression and more earnestly. There seemed to be no lies in her attitude.
I don’t know the circumstances, but I don’t know what kind of change of heart there was in the meantime.
“Yes, what.”
So the answer that came out of her mouth was also cool. Winds asked with a puzzled expression.
“Ugh, huh? So easily?”
“Why?”
“Are you really accepting my apology?”
I scratched my cheek embarrassingly. If you think about it, it’s no different from the bad relationship that has been going on since the entrance ceremony. It’s still absurd to think that I was hit with rotten tomatoes and eggs as soon as I was summoned.
But even so, it would have made sense in her circumstances. Because the vigilante leader had to hate Eros more than anyone else. In other words, it means the courage to receive ‘such expectations’ from others in the first place.
A baker baked bread, what can you say about it?
“I won’t say much. I forgive you all. Instead.”
“Instead of… ?”
Winds gulped.
I said with a broad smile.
“Sometime, prepare tomatoes and eggs and come to me. It’s better when there’s no one watching, right? Even to seniors.”
“…… Ugh.”
Winds, imagining his future, hiccupped a little.
I have to jump on the straw.
While terrorism might be imminent, I don’t have the heart to take revenge, and I shouldn’t, but I’ve been thinking for a long time that it would be nice to crack a tomato and an egg with that cheeky face someday.
It’s been a long time dream of mine.

A big change has come in the direction of education for freshmen.
The first reason was that a new class was created when the chairman officially declared war on peers. As a result, the number of people began to be redistributed, and several heroes, led by me, were transferred to the peer response team.
The standard was this.
The warriors were chosen based on how well they could respond to their peers, such as how much they could maintain the level of force even in the non-magic zone and whether they had resistance to mental attacks.
“Wow… “
“Are you really the manager of that cafe?”
I hear whispers among some people who might have known Professor Lisbeth’s face. To say that not too long ago, she looked decent at a cafe, but she was actually a martial arts professor.
Just in time, Lisbeth stood on the podium and took a look at her audience.
“I will call you to attend. No. 1… “
While I heard the answers in turn, I glanced to the side.
For some reason, Cynthia and Eid were sitting next to me as if it were natural.
“By the way, aside from Mr. Eid, Mr. Cynthia is also the peer response team, right?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
It is said that 90% of Idya’s body is advantageous in a cyborg battle against peers, but since Cynthia is a pure elemental mage, she would be completely incapacitated in the non-magical zone, so I wondered how she was in this position.
“While Mr. Alem was hospitalized, I tried my best for Joe in my own way… It opened up a new direction for magic.”
“What is that?”
Cynthia glanced in the direction of Id.
“That… By combining the elements, we succeeded in creating fuel that can be used immediately by Cyberpunk warriors.”
“Oh.”
The warriors from Cyberpunk, a representative system that does not borrow the power of magic, were one of the people expected to play a large part in the forthcoming peer war.
Doesn’t it sound like you can properly play the role of support for such a promising player?
“Anyway, Joe has a new team. Let’s do our best!”
Cynthia quietly fought, and Id slumped over on the desk. It seems to have gone into energy saving mode again.
I nodded with a small smile, then noticed a familiar back of the head between the podium and those sitting nearby.
“Hmm?”
That’s Gared.
