Academy’s Second Seat

“Haruna, I’ll ask you to come back. I’m really sorry for going like this in the first place.”

These were Beatrix’s last words.

dimensional magic.

The use of that magic varied.

To see the future, to turn back time, to see another world, to visit.

It was truly a miracle that made something that was thought impossible possible.

However, miracles require a price.

Haruna lost the most precious person that day.

A person who raised you and gave you value.

To Haruna, Beatrix was such a person.

I also wanted to dry it.

Don’t leave yourself behind.

Let’s stay together and find another way.

At this, Beatrix shook her head.

“It was my fault, so I am responsible for it. Haruna would be able to do it on her own.”

Beatrix disappeared and Haruna was left alone.

Haruna, who was left alone, decided to carry on Beatrix’s will.

Helping Rudy Astria, whom Beatrix brought into the world… … .

“Stop Aryandor… … .”

Haruna muttered to herself.

“Aryandor… … .”

“I didn’t tell you the exact intentions of the guy. He just told me to be strong enough to win and left.”

Astina nodded at Rudy’s words.

“The positive news is that Aryandor can no longer see the future.”

“You can’t see the future?”

Rudy thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Didn’t you explain a little bit about dimensional magic?”

“As much as space magic and time magic combined?”

“you’re right. But, it’s more backwards-compatible than more than that.”

“Upper compatibility?”

Astina tilted her head.

Rudy looked at it and continued talking.

“In this case, am I not a person from another space?”

“right?”

“Aryandor can see all time zones, but he can’t see the time zones I have crossed over. No matter how much time magic, if it has to do with space, you can’t see it. The problem is that space magic is similar.”

“Hmm… … It’s so profound.”

Astina patted her chin while listening to Rudy’s story.

space and time.

the wall between them.

It was an area that Astina had never thought about.

“Once I found out about her, this is it.”

“Yeah, Aryandor… … Beatrix… … .”

“I told you not to worry about it, but wouldn’t it be better to find out?”

“Yeah, I’ll take a look at this one.”

Astina smiled and said.

“More than that, what kind of future did you see?”

“… … It’s not a good story to hear.”

Rudy didn’t know much about the future either.

He only knew the cause and effect.

“Astina-senpai.”

“Um?”

Rudy looked at Astina with straight eyes.

He carefully opened his mouth.

“Don’t be alarmed, listen… … .”

“Aren’t you surprised?”

Astina tilted her head.

Where are the surprises when talking about the future?

That world is a completely different future.

I could just move on thinking that such a thing happened, but there was no reason to worry too much.

“Yes, tell me.”

Astina said to Rudy with a relaxed attitude.

“that… … The future I saw was already a half-destroyed world.”

“Um, yes.”

“It’s a world where I was very strong, but I couldn’t protect people.”

“Yes, yes.”

Rudy glanced slightly.

Even after talking up to this point, Astina didn’t respond much, so she looked a little puzzled.

Rudy continued speaking.

“I grew up not caring about the people around me, taking other people’s abilities as well. Only believe in yourself to be strong.”

“It’s the opposite of what it is now.”

“But, it was a future no different from what I am today.”

Astina smiled as if it was boring.

“Since you have seen such a future, shouldn’t you be doing well from now on?”

“… … That’s not the problem.”

Rudy opened her mouth with a very serious expression.

“The thing that suddenly changed me… … Astina-senpai… … After I died around this winter break.”

“… … What?”

Astina heard the sound and frowned slightly, but her expression gradually brightened.

“… … after i die? why? Suddenly I died, did you change? no… … What did we do?”

“yes… … ?”

Rudy looked puzzled at Astina’s words.

I thought he would take it seriously when he found out he was going to die, but he couldn’t help but bewildered as he had a brighter expression than usual.

Astina said that, then bowed her head slightly and began to ponder.

“I died… … Rudy, who was the same as now, turns into the opposite… … .”

My brain was spinning.

It was only natural that the death of a close person would come as a shock.

However, it was a little strange that a person would change completely with that death.

Unless it’s the death of someone really close to you, that change won’t happen.

then… … .

Astina got up halfway, put her hands on the desk and reached out to Rudy.

“Perhaps… … Were you in a relationship with me?”

“yes?”

“We were dating… … no… … . ah.”

Astina quickly came to her senses after asking such a question.

He sat back down and cleared his throat.

“Hmmm… … . Oh no. done. I was just curious, so I asked.”

“Because I haven’t looked into the future in detail… … I don’t know about that. I can’t see you again now… … .”

Rudy smiled awkwardly.

“anyway… … . If I die, I’ll have to prepare well. Okay, Rudy, then have some tea… … .”

bang-

As Astina was about to say something, there was a loud noise from the door.

“… … Would you like some tea?”

Astina smiled and said, ignoring the echo.

Rudy looked at the door and Astina alternately.

“I… … What sound?”

“No worries. So, I gave you a car… … .”

bang bang-

“… … I will prepare.”

“You have to go outside… … .”

Astina went to get into the car slowly, not minding Rudy’s words.

“Astina!!! I know they are all there!!! Rudy!!”

Then Rie’s voice rang outside.

Astina looked at the door without getting into the car and frowned.

“ha… … . How did you get here?”

“senior… … ?”

Astina walked towards the door and opened it.

Not surprisingly, Li and Luna were standing outside.

Sylphid was behind Lie.

“What’s going on?”

“Is Rudy in there?”

Lee said boldly.

Astina looked at Sylphid with an expressionless expression.

“Isn’t it a violation of school rules to see the inside of a dormitory room with a spirit? Did the school rules change while I was away?”

“anyway! Rudy is in there!!!”

Astina looked at Rie with a shameless expression.

“No?”

“Hey!”

“none.”

Astina and Rie shared a studio like children.

“Ahaha… … .”

Luna, who was next to him, just smiled awkwardly and stretched out her head to sneak a peek inside.

Then Astina moved her body in front of Luna.

“It is an invasion of privacy. Why are you looking into the room?”

“Then give me Rudy!”

“What does it have to do with Rudy? Isn’t that just where Rudy wants to be?”

Rie stared straight at Astina and smirked.

“uh… … Rudy~. Are you inside?”

Luna shouted softly into the room.

“uh… … here… … .”

“none.”

As Rudy tried to speak inside, Astina loudly buried Rudy’s voice.

“Hey!!!”

“Astina-senpai… … .”

Unlike the usual dignified Astina, she was very childish.

Astina realized this and sighed.

“Yes, there is Rudy. So, what does Rudy have to do with ‘where he wants to be’, ‘who he wants to be’ and ‘arbitrarily’? Do you even have the right to do this?”

Astina emphasized that Rudy had voluntarily wanted to be with her.

Of course, Rudy had come half-abducted by Astina, but the truth didn’t matter.

I just needed to kill the spirits of these fiendish bastards.

“Hey, it doesn’t matter! You have rights!”

Rie said loudly to Astina.

Astina frowned.

“What?”

Lee clenched his fists.

His face grew redder and he lowered his head.

and shouted out loud.

“My, my husband! You only care where my husband is and what he does!”

“… … What?”

“uh?”

Luna and Astina looked at Rie with puzzled faces.

Rudy ran towards the door with a very startled face.

“Oh, no. hey! ah… … .”

Astina and Luna looked at Rudy with cold faces.

“Rudy Astria. What do you mean by that?”

“Rudy? What is that sound?”

Rudy took a step back in an unusual atmosphere.

“hey! what are you saying… … .”

“My, you took my first kiss too!!!”

“Rudy????”

“Rudy Astria?”

At the cold eyes of Luna and Astina, Rudy’s face began to turn blue.

***

“ha… … .”

The commotion subsides to some extent.

Astina was left alone in her room and was in trouble.

I never imagined that Rie would confess that in the first place.

That self-respecting Rie will hit the player.

The good news, though, was that it wasn’t a confirmed fact.

Hearing Rudy’s explanation, it didn’t feel like he had accepted the confession properly.

It is said that Rie spit out about the engagement and ran away.

However, it was true that it was dangerous.

“み… … .”

I’ve only been away for half a year and I didn’t know this would happen already.

The situation just before ended with a rough guess, but it may become a definite fact later.

“Now I can’t stand still.”

Astina clenched her fists.

Astina, who spoke to herself like that, smiled.

“But it feels like a lot has changed from before.”

The old Rudy Astria felt like they were in a different world.

It certainly swept through the big events, and was at the center of it.

However, her usual appearance was very different.

It was like an audience.

Spectators watching how things around them go.

Rudy, who was like a spectator, jumped onto the stage whenever he saw something important.

“Did you say game?”

That fact made sense to some extent because of the story I had heard from Rudy before.

Stories that were first experienced through media other than reality.

They were just the characters.

However, Rudy was a little different now.

The feeling of floating and somehow strange disappeared.

I started to recognize and accept my surroundings properly.

Is it because I saw reality in a dream?

Or maybe it was because Lee made a proper confession?

Is it because of a number of things that happened before that?

It was difficult to know exactly why.

However, Rudy, who was like a wooden stone in the past, is now gone.

The wall between them had already collapsed, and now it was only the owner who grabbed it first.

“If I had known this would happen, I would have snatched it up first.”

Astina muttered to herself.

Still, Astina thought there was still a chance.

Apparently, the future Rudy had changed because of him.

This had some meaning.

The sound of Rudy’s influence enough to change people.

It was the sound of Rudy thinking of herself that much.

“Let’s try it.”

Astina smiled with a cheerful face.
