Academy’s Second Seat

It’s been 3 days since Rudy and Lie left the academy.

Luna was doing research alone in Rudy’s room.

“Hmm… … .”

Although Rudy wasn’t there, Rudy left the key and was able to continue research in Rudy’s room.

Luna stared at the paper on which the magic circle was drawn.

“I think to some extent… … .”

A magic circle that calms the user when a spirit runaway occurs.

A magic that restores the mind and mana to their normal state.

Luna created that magic circle.

However, there was a problem.

Once this magic circle was activated, it was impossible to confirm to what extent it would be effective.

I couldn’t try it on my own.

Of course, that didn’t mean that Rudy or Lee could experiment with it.

However, it was necessary to be inspected by others.

There’s a big difference between having someone else inspect you and not receiving it.

So even after making it, I couldn’t say it was finished.

“Five days? … .”

The hour Rudy told me to wait.

Luna was worried.

What Rudy said when she went to the center.

I didn’t know what was going to happen to me, so I asked for help if something happened.

“Hmm… … .”

Luna stood up.

“I made it to some extent, so let’s take a break.”

Luna let out a sigh and walked to her room.

So when I went back to my room and opened the door, I glanced at the side of the door.

On the wall next to the door was the student’s personal mailbox.

I saw that there was a letter in the mailbox.

“Is that Rudy?”

It’s only been three days, but if Rudy had responded as soon as she received the letter, it could have arrived.

Luna took out a letter from the mailbox and looked at the name of the sender.

The sender’s name was exactly Rudy Astria.

“Five… … !”

It’s only been 3 days since I’ve seen Luna, but I was so happy with that name.

Luna immediately took the letter and went into the room.

Then he picked up the letter knife that was on the desk and ripped it open.

“Let’s see… … .”

Luna read the letter.

“… … .”

Luna’s expression grew darker as she read the letter.

“this… … what?”

It tells you that you have to stay in the mansion for a while.

And it is said that we will probably be able to see each other only after vacation.

Luna read the letter again.

Reading it again didn’t change the content.

However, one thing was known.

“… … Not Rudy.”

Luna has seen Rudy for a year.

We didn’t just look at each other’s faces, we continued to study together for a year.

As a result, I had a habit of looking at Rudy’s handwriting often and showing him when he wrote.

Of course, this letter showed those habits.

However, it wasn’t perfect.

The reason Luna could know it was because Rudy’s handwriting was unique.

Rudy’s handwriting was not in the form of one-to-one writing, but a free-flowing cursive.

Such a characteristic of Rudy’s writing.

Rudy’s handwriting was written so badly that there were times when he couldn’t even recognize it.

However, this article… … .

“It reads so well… … !”

Originally, well written handwriting was easy to follow.

There were many cases where they looked somewhat similar if they just put their best efforts over and over again.

However, even if I tried to follow the unwritten writing, I couldn’t follow it.

A bad handwriting that others can’t imitate.

Rudy had reached that level.

Luna jumped up from her seat.

concluded.

This is not a letter from Rudy.

It was clear what had happened to Rudy.

Luna went out of the room without delay.

Rudy was in danger and there was no time to delay.

@

“… … Hey, are you on vacation?”

“Uh, Professor Cromwell isn’t at the academy during vacation because he’s decided to take over as vice principal this time.”

Luna’s eyes widened at the words of the teaching assistant in front of her.

“uh… … .”

What Rudy said.

Ask Professor Cromwell or Professor Robert for help.

But now, both of them were not there.

Originally, professors had to go to work either in the morning or in the afternoon on weekdays, even if it was a vacation.

Since the professor had a research position as well as a teaching position for students, he often stayed at the academy even during vacations for research.

By the way, Professor Cromwell, as I just heard, was on vacation, and Professor Robert was at Fred’s estate for some reason.

Even Professor Cromwell was Luna, who had never imagined that Professor Robert would not be there.

“ah… … thank you.”

“Oh, yes. Goodbye.”

Luna greeted the assistant and went outside.

Then I stood still and looked up at the ceiling.

“uh… … .”

No one told Rudy to ask for help.

However, there was a problem with going to the capital alone.

Infiltrating the Astrian family alone without knowing what Rudy was in was suicidal.

“Uh, what should I do?”

Luna burst into tears on the spot.

First, I thought slowly about who I could ask for help.

Astina senior?

Astina-senpai would definitely help, but it may take too long and there are many restrictions.

Because Astina was a talent the entire empire was paying attention to right now.

If such a person suddenly visits the Astrian family, it will attract everyone’s attention.

When people’s attention is drawn, there is no room to rescue Rudy.

Because the Astrian family wasn’t an easy-going family.

then… … .

“About Lee… … .”

Lee was the best.

First of all, the location was good since it was in the capital.

However, Rie and herself alone were not enough.

If Rie was there, when he ran away with Rudy, he could run to the imperial family, so safety was guaranteed as long as he was rescued.

However, the rescue itself was a problem.

It was close to impossible to break into the Astrian family with only the power of himself and Lie.

As Luna was so troubled, she heard a voice next to her.

“Luna, it’s been a while.”

Luna turned her head and looked at the side where the voice was heard.

“… … uh! professor?”

The owner of the voice was Professor Maguire.

“I couldn’t see his face these days, so I thought he went back to his hometown, but I guess he wasn’t.”

Maguire looked at Luna and smiled softly.

When Luna looked at Maguire like that, she had an expression of great delight.

and opened his mouth.

“professor!!!”

“Well?”

Maguire tilted his head at Luna’s sudden attitude.

Luna said to Maguire like that.

“Can you help me?”

@

Professor Maguire’s lab.

“Come on, Luna, it’s hot tea. Was it cold outside? This car is really famous in the North… … .”

“Luna! These are the cookies I baked myself! Try it once!”

“Ah, thank you… … !”

Luna followed Maguire to the lab.

However, when Luna entered the lab, the assistants with exhausted faces widened their eyes.

Suddenly, his face began to glow and he began to rummage through his bag or run across the street.

And the teaching assistants started offering presents to Luna.

From cookies and desserts to hot tea or magic tools.

Several items were placed there.

Luna smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheek.

“Ahaha… … .”

First of all, starting with how to do this, I wondered why the hell it was doing this.

While Luna was thinking about such things, Professor Maguire sat across from Luna.

“sorry. I have something to do.”

“no! It was my fault that came suddenly.”

Professor Maguire smiled at Luna like that, then saw the assistants glancing at him from afar.

“Everyone is out. I have something to talk to Luna.”

“Yep! All right!”

When Maguire said that, the assistants rushed out of the lab.

Maguire looked at him and smiled absurdly.

“When I study, I will act like that… … .”

“yes?”

“It’s nothing. So, what kind of help do you want me to get?”

At Professor Maguire’s words, Luna wiggled her fingers.

“that… … My friend is a little dangerous… … .”

“danger?”

Maguire frowned at Luna’s words.

“If it’s dangerous, how about asking the bodyguards or investigators for help instead of me?”

“ah… … That’s because it’s a bit vague to ask for help… … .”

Maguire crossed his legs as he listened to Luna.

And rubbed his chin.

“First of all, it’s about Rudy.”

“uh! How did you know?”

Luna was startled by Maguire’s words.

Maguire looked at Luna and smiled.

“Fufu… … As you get older, you look a little rough.”

Maguire picked up a cookie placed in front of Luna and put it in her mouth.

“What kind of help do you want me to give you?”

Luna looked at Maguire like that and explained what she was doing.

Rudy returned to the center and something seems to have happened.

Maguire patted his chin as he heard such a story.

“It’s a very painful story.”

“yes… … Actually, it’s all just a heart attack… … There is no real evidence… … .”

Luna bowed her head and hesitated.

“Well, you’re not a weird kid, and you’re also somewhat confident, so you didn’t ask me for help.”

“yes… … I don’t know anything else, but I’m sure something happened to Rudy.”

Maguire nodded at Luna’s words.

“But I can only give you indirect help. If I collide with the Astrian family head-on, not only me but also many people around me will suffer.”

“It would be… … .”

“However.”

Maguire smiled bitterly.

“I am a specialist in such indirect help.”

Maguire got up and picked up the coat hanging from the hanger.

Luna tilted her head at Maguire’s actions like that.

“What are you doing.”

“yes?”

Maguire nodded and pointed towards the door.

“It’s urgent. I have to go quickly.”

“that is… … what… … .”

Luna said as if she didn’t understand.

“Let’s go to the center right now. Bring your luggage to a minimum.”

Luna’s eyes widened at those words.

“I, really? thank you! professor! I will never forget this grace!”

“Yeah, never forget it.”
