Episode 261
68. Raging Waves (1)
When I thought something was strange, it was when the new student council was launched, led by Theodore Lincoln, who was elected president of the student council.
It was over two weeks after the due date that I promised to come back, and I couldn’t even see Rona-senpai, let alone hear the news.
In the end, I mobilized all the available manpower to explore the whole of Paradise Island, including the Halls of Time and Space.
“… … What the hell is this?”
I could see the mysterious black curtain blocking the entrance to the Hall of Time and Space.
“I don’t know. Neither Mana nor Mago.”
Illiana said while looking at the slime-like curtain.
The problem was that this membrane could not be dispelled by any physical force.
As soon as I first realized that the Halls of Time and Space had been closed, I tried to remove the curtain by all means.
Even if I used Aradwana or Yam Swords, or even the slash of Byron, who is the strongest with pure force, I couldn’t even scratch the curtain.
Even after pouring the potions reborn as the finest elixir by adding the alchemy of Illyana and Sephiroth’s sap, no significant change occurred.
Even the hero Aidan Christopher and the holy fire woman candidate Yura Esther were summoned, but they failed to get rid of them.
A completely unknown substance that neither physical power, magic nor divine power works.
Even when I tried to get in using the bug, the barrier didn’t break through.
As of now, there are no other options left to try.
“… … Haven’t you really gone on a trip? No one can break into the hall while he is away.”
said George, still confused. However, the premise itself was a false assumption.
“Do you think Lorna-senpai would do that without a word?”
“No, just… … I was just guessing.”
“If that was the case, at least he would have told us. Besides, the hall was open from start to finish. If I had been able to stop it like this from the beginning, I would have done it earlier.”
From the time when Lorna Aztel was captured by the halls of the past and forced to become a transcendent of time and space, to the time she revealed her identity to us.
The Halls of Time and Space were open to anyone, and no devices were installed to the extent that they were defenseless.

Meanwhile, Rona-senpai closed the hall to go on a trip without saying a word… … .All possibilities should be left open, but this was a really vain hypothesis.
“Shit!”
I couldn’t hold back my anger and kicked the stone that got stuck in my foot. The stone that flew away was hit by the crystal and crumbled into pieces.
“I wanted to be quiet, but why is this all of a sudden?”
“Sanwoo… … .”
As I stumbled, Camilla hurriedly approached me and supported me.
“Is there still no information in the back alleys or temples?”
“Yes, neither Mr. Swallow Byway nor Francis of the Heretical Tribunal have caught any unusual circumstances.”
“ha.”
It’s a different story than when Illyana went missing. At that time, Illyana at least gave her a hint of what she was going to do.
“First, let’s continue the investigation. I’ll try to get in touch with the academic department first.”
“All right.”
I tried not to borrow power from the bachelor as much as possible.
Because Lorna Aztel was a ‘ghost student’ who didn’t exist in the Ortana Faculty.
In fact, even though she played a big role in the last battle against the fallen Artel against Mary Celeste, the faculty members did not remember her name.
A ghost who remains on the roster, but does not take any classes.
Explaining it and asking for advice would be a pain in the ass.
“I’m going to focus on the East Terrier again.”
“I will talk with Yura one more time. Maybe I can get help from outside the continent.”
Fortunately, the Illuminati friends were very cooperative.
There have been times when we have been together, and they all have the same concern for Rona-senpai.
“Then, if anything special happens, please tell me right away.”
“Yes, please leave it to me.”
“Only trust me!”
So, one by one, the friends escaped from the halls of time and space, and in the end, the last people left were Iliana and Camilla.
Are you waiting for me to leave? In many ways, he seemed to be indebted to the two of them.
“Okay, I’ll stay here for a bit. I’m just trying to organize my thoughts.”
It’s good to be taken care of, but now I need some time to think.
Just when they were about to refuse their consideration, Camilla pulled her sleeve and said.
“Wait a minute, Sanwoo, I have something to tell you.”
“Are you going to tell me?”
“… … I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but now that I think about it, it’s a bit suspicious.”
Camilla glanced around for a moment before continuing.
“Do you remember when I met Sanwoo and you in the Arthur Faculty Building?”
“when?”
I met Camila countless times in the Arthur’s Faculty building. There’s no way you can remember them all.
“There was a day when you said you were going to see Theodore and Yura. The day after the banquet.”
“ah… … yes then I do not remember.”
“I told you I was going to see Dean Irkan. I don’t know why all of a sudden they called me.”
It certainly seems to have been

Memories that had passed by for a while came to mind.“That’s when I met the president.”
“Chairman… … ? If you are the chairman, are you talking about The Elder?”
A tingling sensation penetrates from top to bottom at the name that can’t come out of her mouth.
“What did he say?”
“Um, there was nothing there. He told me to work hard even in my second year, and Sanwoo to help me out by my side.”
“Is that really all there is?”
“There have been discussions about scholarships and compensation for what I suffered in the first semester of my freshman year, but in fact, that has already been decided.”
The more I listened, the more suspicious I became.
Why is The Elder interested in Camilla?
“But that’s not what’s important… … It just came to my mind.”
“yes.”
“At that time, it felt like the president was wearing the artifacts we had. It’s a construction stone.”
construction stone.
It was a special ore made by processing the crystals scattered in the Halls of Time and Space.
I only supplied it to the Illuminati to use it as a device that makes it possible to have strong resistance to bugs and missing machines… … .
Why is that in the hands of the chairman?
“Are you sure?”
“I’m not sure, because I didn’t even notice it at the time. It was only today that I suddenly remembered and told you.”
“First of all, it’s a heart attack.”
I was in trouble for a while. The Elder Siegfried. He is an obvious villain.
The beginning was good, but the end is a ghost of the past who is obsessed with his own cause and forcing sacrifices on others.
Even after the whole story is discovered by Aidan, who is investigating the case of the disappearance of students attending school.
He is a madman who tries to extend the seal of the Demon King by making sacrifices even to the heirs of the heroes.
If he really checked Rona-senpai’s situation… … .
There may be a series of relationships between the disappearance of Lona-senpai this time and the closure of the Halls of Time and Space.
“Thank you so much, Camilla.”
“Okay, I don’t think it helped much. What?”
“Nope. I think this alone can give us some direction.”
“Then I’m happy.”
Camilla smiled bashfully.
“Oh, wait.”
I was planning to go straight to the back alley to gather information, and I said to Camila and Illyana, who were standing ambiguously.
“Illiana, can you live with Camila from today?”
“yes… … ? With Camilla?”
“Yes, please stay with me all day. There are no classes because it’s summer vacation anyway.”
“Yes? Why all of a sudden?”
“It is because of the circumstances. If the chairman caused this incident… … Camilla, there must be a reason why you approached me.”
can never be distracted
Isn’t it the president who has been approaching me as the ‘student council president’ right now?
In the worst case, the Elder’s plans might have already been made with me as a starting point.
The first target is Lorna-senpai.
Then the next target could be Camilla or Illyana.
In the worst case, the entire Illuminati may be in a dangerous situation.
… … Leaving Illyana and Camila alone alone doesn’t seem reassuring.
In this case, the answer is to just stick together.
“not. Can not only the two of them, but the Illuminati personnel be able to spend a few days together in the Breath of the World Tree?”
Illiana paused for a moment at my request, then nodded her head.
“yes. maybe. After a peace treaty was signed with humans, many Artels went down to their hometowns after a long time.”
“I’m glad… … . Then I’ll ask you to do that. Never let each other fall! Unconditionally, a pair of two!”
Saying so, I quickly made my way through the southern forest.
The Elder Siegfried’s strength cannot be compared to the enemies he has ever fought.
He was much stronger than the corrupt Artel, who nearly wiped out the entire expedition.
Because it was a myth that lived 300 years ago until now.
Even in Paradise Academia, in terms of the level of difficulty, it was equal to or higher than that of the giant’s foot Gaylum.
‘Even if the whole Illuminati attack, we won’t win, but at least we won’t make a fuss.’
As long as his purpose is to protect the seal of the Demon King, he will not overturn Paradise School, the last meaning of his crumbling colleagues.
Ironically, before protecting the seal of the Demon King, the mind as an educator was also thorough.
Even now, rather than acting openly, aren’t you moving under the water?
‘Somehow, The Elder appeared too soon, but he was already seasoning it.’
Of course, if Lorna was missing, the chairman should have been suspicious of it.
Even if it’s not, that’s because you can go ahead and hit the head.
‘First to the back alley… … !’
Swallow without information may have found suspicious circumstances.
If you can present solid evidence based on him, you can move the bachelor’s degree.
“I don’t know what the insidious plan is, but as of today, you will regret your hasty move.”
Old Man (老怪), Siegfried.

Compared to the status of managing all forbidden books, the Ortana Faculty’s forbidden library doesn’t have much to do.
Admission is only possible through the Grand Library.
Even with that in mind, not many people have been given the right to access the forbidden library even in the whole of Nakwon School.
That means no guests she doesn’t know will come to visit.

Management itself was not difficult.The cleaning was handled by the servants summoned by Ecclesia Bell.
‘Repel intruders’, which can be said to be a proper job, was also a false job.
Of course, at the end of last year, a student named Baek San-woo infiltrated the Geum Book High School for a while.
Because the white mountain cow also cast invisibility magic, and came in at the moment Ecclesia opened the door and entered. It was difficult to forcefully open the door and enter.
It also played a part in the fact that there were no talented people in Paradise School who could even penetrate the entrance locked by the double and triple sealing magic in the first place.
For this reason, the gold book location in the Ortana Grand Library was a honey job, but it was also a boring job.
However.
“… … what’s this.”
Professor Ecclesia’s expression was distorted as she went up to the golden library to make up for the boring time as usual today.
The seal of the gold library that had not been opened for decades.
Because it was completely ripped apart.
