Academy’s Second Seat

Near the Elemental School building.

“Astina… … .”

There was someone grinding his teeth and looking around.

It was Harpel Persia.

Behind him stood Eric with a worried face.

“Now, there is no turning back.”

Harpel clenched his fists and said.

“The only thing I can do is to lose my family anyway.”

Harpel’s purpose was the death of Astina.

It is not easy to kill Astina without a trace.

However, Harpel was no longer behind.

If you kill Astina and get caught, you just have to be content with revenge, and if you succeed, you can take over as the successor again.

He was here with this thought.

It was foolish for anyone to see, but Harpel was already blinded by revenge.

Her hatred of Astina kept her from seeing anything else.

“ha… … .”

Seeing Harpel like that, Eric let out a sigh.

Harpel was a very intelligent and personable friend.

However, the friend standing in front of me was the one who was obsessed with revenge.

He had already lost his gun and couldn’t even make a proper judgment.

He tried to dry it several times, but he didn’t listen.

However, he could not abandon his friend.

This guy was a friend and a master of his choice.

It was his choice, so he was going to follow Harpel until the end.

Even if that road is the road to ruin.

Fortunately, there have been no major problems so far.

Originally, if they moved toward the Elemental School building, they should have been on the alert from others.

So they came to think of ways to move unnoticed, and luckily, Ian Astria arrived behind them, and all eyes were on him.

Thanks to him, I was able to easily avoid my gaze and come here.

“Eric, take me to the place you said.”

“… … Okay.”

Eric was also an alumni of the academy, so he was well acquainted with the nearby facilities.

There is a training center near the Spirit School building.

Although the facility was shabby, people did not come often, so it was a training center that was used occasionally.

This training center, which was made like an auditorium, had few windows, so ventilation was not good, and it was difficult to come because it was at the end of the academy.

However, these factors served as an advantage in the current situation.

Even if Astina was brought here and killed, it was difficult for people to notice.

To see this plan, you have to look inside the Elemental School building.

And since it’s at the end of the academy, if you get out through the window, you could get out of the academy.

“Well?”

As I approached there, I saw a boy practicing swordsmanship.

A boy wielding a sword in sweat.

It was a bit of a new feeling to see him training during an event like this.

It reminded me of when Harpel and I were training together at the academy.

‘First things first… … .’

I felt sorry for the boy who was training, but the first thing to do was to prepare a place.

“Student there.”

“yes… … ?”

That student was Evan.

There was no place to train, so he was training in a place where there were no people.

“I have work to do here, can you help me?”

When Eric said that, Evan tilted his head.

“I know that this area is not used for this event… … .”

“Ah, the Academy said it was difficult to provide the main building, so we decided to offer it here.”

“ah… … is that so?”

Evan lifted the sword and a few things without any doubt.

“All right. Then, have a good time at work.”

“Yes, thank you.”

After seeing him leave, Eric put down his bag.

And I took out the scrolls I had prepared.

Astina was not an easy opponent, so it was necessary to weaken her.

They prepared the scrolls like that and started making plans to attract Astina.

central auditorium.

After Ian left, I immediately looked at Astina and opened my mouth.

“Give me your hand.”

“What are you talking about?”

I grabbed Astina’s hand.

And I started looking around at that hand.

There must have been some kind of light… … .

“you… … What are you doing?”

I looked at Astina’s hand carefully and fiddled with it, and Astina looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Rudy!!”

And Luna, not knowing what to do, swung her arms around.

“That, that, that can’t be!”

When Luna reacted like that, she felt a little embarrassed.

“Oh, sorry.”

“Oh, no.”

When I let go, Astina pulled her hand out and coughed.

“ah… … Is there anything wrong with the body by any chance? After shaking hands… … .”

“handshake?”

Astina looked at me with a puzzled face.

And he stared at his hands.

“I don’t think there’s anything special about it?”

“Well… … .”

What did you do?

It felt like he wasn’t using magic to help us.

He used message magic to tell him not to tell him.

“Rather than that, we should look around the Elemental Faculty building.”

I opened my mouth to Astina’s words.

“Then I’ll take a look around the Elemental Faculty building and come back.”

“you?”

“Astina-senpai looks tired too, and there is no one to go to.”

There was no one around to ask for help.

However, this was for nominal reasons and it seemed necessary to figure out if the story was going well.

In the original game, it was an incident where there was no room for other people to intervene, so I thought that there was no need to worry about it.

However, I think it was my mistake.

Since the game is already flowing differently from the game, we shouldn’t have expected anything like normal progress.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just ask the leadership team?”

“There must be a lot of work for the leadership team to do, but I will just take a look. If something goes wrong, I have someone else call.”

When I said that, Astina thought for a moment and then raised her head.

“No, I’ll just go with you.”

“… … yes?”

I expressed my doubts at the sudden sound of going together.

“I don’t know what might happen, and even if there is a problem, it can be resolved quickly if I go.”

“That’s right… … do you?”

“Then let’s go together.”

Astina put her luggage down and started taking the lead.

Something bothered me a little with Astina’s subtle expression, but I couldn’t figure out what Astina was thinking.

Then Luna, behind me, pinched my arm.

“this… … Rudy… … !”

When I saw Luna, I could see him staring at me.

“You said you were going to play with me.”

“ah… … It did… … .”

“I try to work every day! I need to rest for a day or so!”

Luna put her hands on her waist and spoke as if admonishing her.

When I made an apologetic expression to Luna like that, Luna smiled softly.

“I look after you because you are doing a good job. I’ll help too, so let’s finish up and go play.”

“Yes, thank you for your concern.”

“It was nothing!”

“Hmmm!” As Luna spoke, a faint smile appeared.

Luna was so worried, but I thought I should quickly look around and play.

It won’t take that long.

I was planning to check only the area around the building and the training center.

We just need to find out if Evan is in the training room.

“Then let’s go.”

We moved towards the Elemental School building.

There didn’t seem to be any problems around it.

There was no reason for the people who came to the event to come here.

“… … Is something strange?”

Astina frowned and looked around.

Me and Luna couldn’t feel anything, so they stared at Astina.

“What’s wrong?”

When I asked Astina said, looking around.

“Someone used a scroll nearby. about two… … seems to be.”

“Are you scrolling?”

I questioned the sound of scrolling.

There was absolutely no reason why scrolls would be used nearby.

Serena and Evan do not fight using scrolls.

They both rely on their senses to fight, not the style of making a game with scrolls.

There was a sense of unease about something.

“Do you know where it was triggered?”

“I don’t know. I could only lightly feel the movement of mana.”

It’s the movement of mana… … .

“Then would you like to go to the training center? I don’t think they checked it.”

I looked around the area, but I haven’t been to the training center yet.

Perhaps these two did not even know the existence of the training center.

It was located in a very remote place, and the students of the Faculty of Magic didn’t usually go to the training center.

“Then shall we go there?”

We moved and moved towards the training center.

And went into the training room.

“ah… … .”

When I saw the inside of the training room, my heart sank.

There were only two men there.

Evan… … there was no

The two men inside smiled eeriely when they saw us.

One of the men stepped forward and walked towards us.

“haha… … I didn’t know you would come here.”

“Why are you here?”

Astina looked at them with sharp eyes.

“Rudy, call Luna and the others.”

Astina told us that, another man tore the scroll in his hand.

Then a transparent wall was created to block the entrance.

“You can’t go out unless you come in.”

“ha… … .”

Astina sighed and looked at the man in front of her.

“Do you think this will change anything?”

“Whether it will change or not, we will have to try.”

The two looked at each other and exhaled life.

It was obviously a bloody situation, but there was something I was more concerned about than this situation.

Where did Evan go?

“Astina, you don’t know. ‘Cause you’ve had everything since you were born.”

Why are these people occupying this place?

Did Evan meet Serena?

“I hate you. Astina. Born in the same boat… … .”

“there… … .”

I interrupted the talk of the guy who was making a lot of noise in front of me.

I didn’t have time to listen to the story of an extra like that now.

“Was anyone training here by any chance?”

When I asked that question, the man who was talking in front of me snorted.

“under… … ! He’s a guy with no fear.”

“no… … Were there any kids who were training here?”

I had to get an answer quickly.

If Evan couldn’t meet Serena, it wasn’t something he could just skip.

Even if there was someone protecting Priscilla, she might not know how long she could withstand Serena.

Evan was able to win because he had the upper hand of Serena in terms of antagonism. Now that most of the guards are in the main building, there will be no one in the Elemental School building who can properly deal with Serena.

The professors will also be meeting the graduates at the main building.

The moment Serina takes over Priscilla and makes a contract, disaster strikes.

The oracle from the game… … gonna get up

“I don’t think now is the time for you to intervene?”

The man in front frowned as if annoyed.

I grinded my teeth at the man’s stuffy attitude.

“ha… … .”

And he collected mana in his hand.

Now was not the time to be drawn to these guys.

If you don’t answer… … .

“Then shut up and run quickly.”

I cursed and immediately used magic.
