A desk full of books.

Rolling pens.

Magic circles attached here and there with pins.

It was Luna’s desk.

Last semester, I got good grades and was assigned a desk in the reading room where I could study.

Originally, there should have been several students studying around, but it was late, so Luna was alone.

Luna sat in front of her desk and fell into trouble.

“It’s been about two weeks now… … .”

Luna looked at the calendar.

I saw the words “Joint Practice” written on the calendar.

Luna looked at the letters and spit out to herself.

“Can I be strong during that time? … .”

Luna already knew the answer.

You can’t achieve dramatic changes in two weeks with ordinary methods.

No matter how much you study and train, you only make your abilities stronger, and the time is too short to pursue new things.

However, it was not without a way.

Magic book.

You just need to return the spell book you gave to Rudy.

By acquiring a completely new weapon, an anomalous method could be added to the original ability.

However, Luna was afraid.

The library he burned.

students in confusion.

Lie and Astina tried to quietly handle this case.

Rudy had small scars and burn marks.

Those scenes came to mind.

An accident caused by that magic book.

Many people were affected by the accident.

Some were injured, and others were indirectly damaged.

Thinking that such a situation could be repeated again, I was afraid to use the spell book.

“Will I be able to handle the magic book now… … ?”

Luna grabbed her head.

If you try to become stronger, you can inflict great damage on those around you.

When it comes to joint practice, Ena and Rika are in the same group.

You can even use a spell book when they are nearby and injure them both.

And it could ruin this rating.

Luna was scared.

A situation where you just try to be strong and lose everything around you.

A situation in which it causes great damage to the people around and everyone leaves them.

The situation was terrifying.

“Is it right for me to make such a choice because I want to become stronger? … .”

Luna wanted to be strong, but she didn’t want to lose her friend.

He hated that people around him could avoid him because of him.

I didn’t want to cause trouble.

However, I wanted to get good grades and I also wanted to have strong power.

Luna remembered what Rudy had said last time.

– If we meet, I won’t see you.

Rudy said it in a playful tone, and even took it as a joke.

However, I really wondered if I would be able to do my best if I met Rudy in the joint practice.

You have to fight your friends to get good grades.

Of course, they have competed for rankings with tests so far.

However, there is a difference between pressing a friend with your own hands and ranking them based on the results.

Can you be a nuisance to a friend for yourself?

The night deepened with Luna’s worries.

@

next day.

Luna went to Maguire’s lab and drew a magic circle on the scroll.

It was a scroll that I had purchased in advance for joint practice.

However, the speed of drawing the magic circle did not increase.

The worries I had last night were not over and it lingered in Luna’s mind.

Professor Maguire looked at Luna like that.

Then he got up and went to Luna.

“Luna, are you ready?”

“Oh, Professor.”

Luna shook her head at Maguire’s words.

“If you can’t concentrate, why don’t you come and get some air?”

At Maguire’s words, Luna clenched her fists and shook her head.

“no! I will focus.”

Maguire looked at Luna for a moment.

Then he pulled out the chair in the seat opposite Luna and sat down and opened his mouth.

“Luna, isn’t it?”

Luna tilted her head at Maguire’s words.

“If you keep your worries alone, they will never be solved. The more you do it, the more it expands like a bubble.”

Maguire smiled faintly.

“However, if you bring those worries out of your mouth, you can get rid of them, even if it doesn’t solve them.”

And he pointed at himself with his finger.

“Why don’t you think of me as a wall and just brush off your worries?”

Luna hesitated for a moment.

He wiggled his fingers and lost his thoughts.

Luna looked at the floor and Maguire alternately, then opened her mouth carefully.

“What do I want to do?”

“What is ‘what’?”

Professor Maguire smiled kindly and asked.

“I first came to the academy because I wanted to learn magic.”

“Everyone is.”

“But now, I don’t know what I want to do. I just want to have fun with my friends.”

At Luna’s words, Maguire cautiously opened his mouth.

“Can’t we do both? Learn magic and make friends.”

“I want to do both. Of course you can.”

Luna wiggled her fingers.

“However, there is a way I can develop further, and if I use that method… … I may not be able to do that.”

“why?”

“I think I’m going to cause trouble to my friends… … .”

Maguire thought for a moment after hearing that, and then opened his mouth.

“I’m afraid your friends will leave you… … Are you saying you’re scared?”

Luna nodded her head slightly.

“Then are you going to leave if your friends bother you?”

“no! I… … .”

Luna was startled by Maguire’s words and tried to speak.

However, he could not continue to speak.

Maguire asked the question again.

“Then do you think your friends will leave if you cause a nuisance?”

“……No. They are all really nice and good friends….”

Maguire then smiled and opened his mouth.

“Then wouldn’t it matter? People can’t be perfect Sometimes I make a mistake and cause a nuisance to the people around me, and I can make a mess around me.”

“But no one is talking about it. Others must have had experiences of causing trouble to other people.”

“Isn’t it right to think about how to help others rather than worrying about nuisance?”

Luna heard those words and looked at Maguire.

“But… you can hurt your friends and ruin their grades.”

“You mean it might not be?”

“……”

Maguire then pulled out his chair and stood up.

“Think carefully. Are your choices really annoying to people? Or is it just an opportunity for you to grow?”

That night.

“I have a good friend.”

Professor Maguire drank wine in his room and looked out the window.

Yesterday, Professor Maguire had a visit.

It was Rudy Astria.

Rudy Astria came to her and said,

‘Luna seems to have a lot of trouble these days.’

‘okay? What is your concern?’

‘Exactly, I don’t know.’

Rudy Astria said so and asked herself.

‘Can you listen to that concern?’

‘Do you want me to listen? After hearing this, are you going to ask me to tell you about Luna’s troubles?’

Rudy Astria then shook her head.

‘Just listen.’

At that, Maguire frowned.

‘Then why don’t you listen to it?’

‘It’s because it’s a concern that I shouldn’t listen to.’

‘Does it sound like you’re aware of that concern?’

Rudy Astria did not answer the question.

Maguire sighed and opened his mouth.

‘I get it. Do what you say.’

Maguire took the wine glass to his mouth.

“It reminds me of the old days… … .”

There were times when Maguire, Cromwell, and Robert also had these concerns.

It seems very important, but in a way, it’s really trivial worries.

We grew up sharing our worries with each other and grunting alone.

Those images seemed to be projected on Luna and Rudy.

However, between them and between them was a little different.

Rudy looked like Luna’s mentor.

Apparently, he was Luna’s mentor on the outside, but looking at the two of them from afar, Rudy was leading Luna.

When Luna was thinking about it, she gave the answer without noticing it.

Luna paved the way for her to walk.

“Is this right? … .”

When raising their young, bears not only give fish, but teach them how to fish.

That way the baby can survive on its own without a mother.

But, if you look between the two… … .

“When Rudy is gone, will Luna be able to survive… … .”

Rudy had the strength to walk her own path even without Luna.

But, for Luna… … .

It was clear that Rudy was leading Luna’s growth.

However… … .

Maguire looked at the moon in the sky.

I thought that I had been a professor for a long time, and I thought that I was already a mature adult.

However, after worrying like this, I felt that I was still lacking.

“How will the weather be tomorrow?”

Maguire looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

a few days later.

I rented a laboratory within the academy and was conducting various experiments.

It was a ‘weapon’ to be used in joint practice.

It was the last experiment before completion as the joint practice was approaching soon.

I was more worried that Luna had not come yet.

There are only a few days left… … .

I thought the best timing was to give before the joint practice.

However, it seems that Luna wasn’t ready yet.

I could just hand over the spell book to Luna, but that didn’t mean anything.

When I felt the need for this magic book and became desperate, I thought that I would be able to achieve the greatest growth.

“ha… … . I wish you well.”

As I was about to start the experiment, I heard a knock on the door.

“yes.”

When I answered the knock, a voice came from outside the door.

“Rudy, can I come in?”

That voice was Luna.

“Oh, come in.”

When I answered, Luna opened the door and entered.

Luna’s expression looked as if she had made a firm resolve.

I looked at Luna like that and smiled.

“Do you have anything to say now?”

Then, Luna nodded her head slightly.

“My magic book… … . Can you give me back now?”

I approached the bag that was next to me and took out Luna’s magic book.

He held the spell book tightly in Luna’s hand and made eye contact with Luna.

“Try it once.”

When I said that, Luna smiled brightly.

“… … yes!”
