Chapter 286 – Chapter 286 Magic School Shutra (2-21)
“Like this….”
Luna was calmly drawing a complicated magic circle she had never drawn before.
A large magic circle that encompasses wind and water attributes.
However, it was a form that could not actually be activated with Luna’s magic power or amount of mana, but that didn’t matter.
All you have to do is catch and interpret the flow of mana revolving around the room and use the magic circle.
And as Luna carves the last rune into a magic circle densely packed with runes and figures, she said.
“End… Is it?”
That was the moment.
Paaaaa….
The magic circle that Luna drew on the blackboard began to gradually disappear as green and blue mixed together and stirred around the room.
“… Beautiful.”
The beautiful bug-like mana floating in the air started from the edge of the room and gradually disappeared around Luna, then disappeared.
When the mana spread ended, Luna’s visit echoed a short sound containing the sound of friction between metals in the room.
Clap.
“Ha… Finally….”
It took three days.
In particular, the last problem was not solved the previous day, so I was able to finally solve it after taking a deep breath.
Luna felt a surge of accomplishment greater than when she finished her written exam.
It was important for her to get good grades, but she felt like she wanted to cheer for her first feeling of accomplishment.
But it was only for a moment that she was intoxicated with that sense of accomplishment.
“Ah! Suho!”
In her moment, Luna remembered Seongsu-ho, who must have been struggling in the room next to her.
Even though she asked her professor before the exam, Luna sometimes had trouble concentrating on Seongsuho every time she took a break.
However, the more she did it, the sooner she solved her practical skills, the more she wanted to find out about Seong Su-ho.
As soon as Luna came out and asked her question, she heard her answer was simple.
“That student did not have any major problems that day. Do not worry. And you did a good job.”
“Ah… Maybe in now… ?”
“I cannot tell you that.”
“Ah… All right.”
Luna was sullen for a moment, but in a way she was able to ease her worries.
Once she listened to the professor, she decided that there was nothing wrong with her body.
That eased her worries for a while, but Luna couldn’t take her eyes off Seongsuho’s room the whole time she walked down the hallway.
And Luna’s string of gazes, which she didn’t seem to be able to cut, broke as she turned the corner.
‘… No, given that he said that, wouldn’t he rather have come before me?’
While Luna had such expectations, she left the tower.
She had a strong impression on Luna that Seong Soo-ho was a man who reached out and helped from a higher place than herself.
She was beginning to get a sense of anticipation that she had already come out and that she might be waiting for her.
The sun was shining brightly on the vast school.
Not a single person walked around the campus, and everything was focused on Luna, to the point where she wondered if she mistook the space called Shutra for being alone.
Luna quickly walked along the golden carpet made of the sun and headed for one place.
Luna opened the terrace door wide and looked around.
However….
“… No.”
Her Luna’s eyes couldn’t see a single shadow.
She slowly looked around her and searched, but in the end she couldn’t find Seongsuho.
“… Shall we wait?”
Luna waited for him, sitting in her chair, where she had always sat in her mind, just in case.
She sat in her chair, closed her eyes, and waited for him, knowing that it was a meaningless promise.
..
..
“Huh….”
“If you’re tired, go to the dormitory and sleep. Why are you sleeping here?”
“Huh!”
Luna jumped up with a startled voice and looked at the owner of the voice from the seat next to her.
Even in the blurry vision, she could immediately recognize the owner by his voice.
“Su, Suho….”
“Did you do well on the test?”
“Ah….”
Only then did Luna grasp the situation and she sat down next to Seongsuho and looked at him.
“No, just thinking about it. I’ve already seen it, so it must have been here.”
“… How about Suho?”
“What, I….”
Sung Soo-ho shrugged his shoulders and murmured.
“I did my best.”
“… Me too.”
Luna leaned her head on Sung Soo-ho’s shoulder again, and the two eventually stopped talking about the test after that and spent their time talking about normal things.
..
..
Time passed and it was Saturday, and the spring semester exams were over.
It was around noon when the 1st grade practical test ended, but it was in the evening when all the graders finished their practical tests.
After the exam was over, all the students from Strau were gathered in the auditorium to listen to the dean’s speech.
“You worked really hard for two weeks.”
The dean announced the end of the exam and began holding an event to decorate the end of the exam.
“This year as well, we will announce the 1st place in writing, 1st in practical skills, and 1st in total for each grade.”
As the dean started calling names from the third year, Luna gulped down her dry saliva.
And two men were entering each of her pupils.
‘….’
Even in her mind, she tried not to speak, but Luna’s heart was already full of her wish that Seongsuho would win.
Luna’s heart was screaming that the humiliation of the man she loved was harder than the humiliation of her friend.
‘On top of that, if Suho wins, he just gets treated well. However….’
Because if Louis won, she couldn’t help but smile and move on.
Seong Soo-ho, in Luna’s gaze, did not pay attention to her dean, and only looked at her palm and put on a worried expression.
‘… There before Could it be that he was really injured?’
Sung Soo-ho, whom I met after the practical exam, had been looking at his palms carefully from the time we met on the terrace until now, with a worried face.
When I asked because I was worried, Seong Soo-ho said the same thing.
(Not a big deal.)
(….)
Luna was able to intuit at the words of Sung Soo-ho, who spat out bluntly.
‘I’ll tell you later.’
While Luna was so worried about Seongsuho, she announced all the 3rd and 2nd year 1st graders, and started announcing the 1st year.
The dean raised his voice and announced the first place in writing.
“The 1st place in handwriting in 1st grade is… Huh? For a moment….”
“… ?”
While announcing the list on the paper, the dean stopped calling names and started staring at the paper.
As the professors gradually exchanged stories during the momentary silence, the dean looked at the students and called them by name.
Haha… Sorry. I will call you properly. Luna… Luna Stadtfeld.”
“Ah….”
As soon as Luna’s name was called, her eyes turned to Seong Soo-ho without her knowledge.
It was an unbelievable situation.
Seong Soo-ho obviously submitted the same answer in the process of guessing the answer with Luna, so there was no way that the ranking would be different.
However, one thing passed through Luna’s confused mind.
‘Attachments!’
Seongsuho’s accessory is the thunder attribute.
It was the only test she couldn’t answer with Luna, and of course Luna was sure that she would have gotten a perfect score in the Holy Guard, so she didn’t care at all.
Luna approached her dean with a distraught expression on her face.
Seong Su-ho was making a congratulatory expression, and Louis….
“….”
She was smiling at Seongsuho.
That’s it.
Luna couldn’t help but think so.
Maybe Louis hadn’t seen her notes any more, but she didn’t get that far in Luna’s thoughts.
Luna stood in front of the dean with a distraught expression and accepted her certificate.
“… I suffered.”
The dean didn’t smile as brightly as when he gave her the diploma, but looked at her Luna with a slightly stiff expression.
‘Oops….’
Luna felt her dean’s gaze and she smiled softly as she loosened her expression.
“Thank you.”
Luna left her words of thanks and at the back of her podium, she stood next to the sophomore representative and began to look at her students.
But the dean hadn’t called her next student as she turned her head and looked at Luna with her unusually sunken expression.
Head Professor Magta, who was standing next to her, approached and began to whisper.
Then the dean came to his senses and said to the students with a smile.
Haha… Sorry. This time, I will announce the 1st place in first grade practical skills.”
What is to come has come.
But to Luna now, her number one position didn’t matter.
‘… How do I convince Louis?’
It was clear that he would do something strange to Sung Soo-ho in some way.
‘Right…. Surely Lewis must be number 1 in practical skills, right? Then, when you come next to me, I will convince you as much as possible….’
While Luna was thinking that, the dean started calling her name.
“Practical first place is….”
At that moment, Louis, who was far away, began to advance in front of her, straightening the folds of her cloak.
If not everyone, at least the first year students in the same class seemed convinced.
But he didn’t move any more.
“Sung Soo-ho. Come in front of Seong Su-ho.”
It wasn’t just Luna and Louis.
Not only the students who shared the same classroom as the two, but also the students who had heard some rumors were looking surprised.
However, Seong Soo-ho, whose name was called, only stared at his palm with an expressionless expression.
As the surroundings began to buzz, Seong Soo-ho looked at his palms carefully, then started walking towards the podium with his expression hardened.
***
“Now, we can talk alone.”
Fucked.
As I hardened my expression and slowly stepped back, the dean erased his smile and continued speaking in a calm voice.
“Judging by the reaction, the magic seems to have worked.”
“….”
This made it clear.
It was the dean’s fault that he was now unable to communicate.
First of all, with the magic I possessed, I couldn’t do a single hair damage to the dean.
My current level of magic was that even Louis’ exorcism couldn’t be pierced.
But if it’s a bean….
I quietly picked up the bullet I had prepared in advance in my pocket.
And that was the moment.
“Magic works well, but words don’t seem to work.”
Shaak, Shararak! Dig!
The dean created a magic circle like lightning with his hands at a level similar to using his mind to create a magic circle.
And at the same time, I was restrained with tremendous pressure on my wrists and ankles.
Quadang!
I lost my balance on the spot and fell right down.
“Great!”
“I understand being wary, but let’s talk for a moment… Yes?”
But this time, the dean’s words did not follow.
Wow!
“Big!”
The dean, who had never shown any signs of embarrassment until now, suddenly began to narrow his eyes and focus on securing his sight as colorful lights suddenly hit.
My eyes were completely blind.
‘My eyes!!’
A woman’s cry began to be heard along with tinnitus in her ears while the bright light surrounded her.
“Master!”
“Lena?!”
However, at the same time as Lena’s voice, the dean’s voice was also heard.
“There was a team….”
“Hold on! I!”
“That won’t work.”
Lena rushed at the dean, probably in order to overpower her, but the dean created a magic circle at great speed and tried to restrain her like me.
However, it was not Lena who would easily go over there.
“Huh!”
“… What is this!”
In an instant, he severed his restrained arm with brute force and started running again.
I thought Lena would win this time.
However, it was not easy to defeat the person who conquered the world, and even Lena’s fatal weakness, the protagonist who specialized in magic.
Sarah Rock! Wow! Shaak!
Unlike the tremendous speed, the magic circle drawn this time was more elaborate and took longer than the one I used.
But why can’t Lena win….
“Great!”
“Lena!”
The dean’s magic circle continued to strangle Lena even while it was being drawn.
Obviously, the magic circle was not completed.
However, the act of drawing a magic circle itself was like magic, and in the end, Lena was also placed under restraint in front of the dean.
“Lord, Master!
“It is not a normal body. At least I could have been beaten. I have something to say, so please be quiet for a moment.”
“Huh!”
Lena was restrained with wind-like currents all over her body, and she went further and even her mouth was blocked.
Haha… I was going to have a conversation about this, but it only escalated the situation.”
“Why did you do this….”
“First….”
Even when there was a lull, the dean did not open his mouth easily, but eventually glanced at Lena for a while and said.
“I want to talk alone.”
“….”
“Couldn’t you calmly let that friend go the way you did before?”
“… Good. By the way…. I don’t think it’s going to be easy because of what the dean has put in place right now, right?”
I was sure that Lena had come. Armonia did not call me to the ship and sent her Lena.
Apparently, the dean’s magic was a problem and he couldn’t call me.
The dean, who had changed to a calmer tone, covered his lips with his finger and nodded his head.
“All right. But….”
“… ?”
“I have no intention of killing you, but… I have no intention of letting you go before we can talk.”
The dean stared at Lena and the wall in her room and sent me a message in her eyes.
It was a threat.
It was an indication that not only Lena, but also Luna across the room would not be safe if she acted foolishly.
“… I knew.”
“Then let’s relax for a while.”
Purr….
At the same time as the yellow curtain covering the room disappeared, I heard Armonia’s cry and at the same time, light began to surround me.
[Suho! Can you hear me? Right Now!]
‘Nope! Don’t do it!’
[However!]
‘Never do this!’
[… All right.]
Armonia immediately grasped her situation and stopped her warp.
At that moment, the surrounding light disappeared, and the dean took a short breath and withdrew his hand.
‘Is it communication cutoff magic?’
[Not only that, but the screen was being sent out in a form that was difficult to detect from the outside.]
‘I write everything….’
The reason why Armonia was able to send Lena urgently was that I was able to notice it because my behavior was strange and I did not respond to her communication at all.
The dean must have thought that he could only feel his will, but he didn’t seem to be able to see through that.
However, the situation was not resolved now.
[Above all, I couldn’t warp because Suho’s behavior was abnormal with the magic earlier.]
No matter how much there was an emergency warp button, it was said that it could be used because it was in a state where the coordinates were constantly being corrected.
If you warp incorrectly, there will be a situation where her body will be separated….
‘… Armonia. Take Lena right now.’
[However….]
‘I’m not trying to force it. If they both warp, that’s when it really ends.’
[… All right.]
Fortunately, I was able to convince Armonia by risking Lena and I’s lives.
However, judging from the look in Lena’s eyes as she was being pulled into her warp, she didn’t seem to be convinced.
“Huh!!”
“Lena, go back and wait for me.”
“Huh….”
After Lena went back to the ship, the dean nodded her head and started drawing her magic circle again.
“Excellent. I trust those who keep their promises.”
“Let’s get to the point quickly.”
“Heh heh, I see.”
It was the moment when the dean completed the magic circle and was about to activate it.
[Suho….]
‘I don’t think there is any hostility. Wait a minute.’
[… I believe.]
After that, Armonia’s communication was cut off again.
As soon as the dean activated the magic circle, he stiffened his expression again and started looking at me.
“Tell me.”
“… I have a favor to ask.”
“… ?”
The dean looked at me with a heavy expression and said,
“Me… I want you to kill me.”
