Academy’s Second Seat

The light dove pointed towards the outskirts of the capital.

Outskirts with no people.

Luna ran with Professor Maguire.

“ha… … ha… … .”

Luna ran out of breath after running for so long.

“Luna, almost everything has arrived. Hold on a little longer.”

“ha… … yes!”

Luna responded bravely to Maguire’s words.

A small forest in the outskirts of the capital.

However, for a forest, it felt a little eerie.

Because it was winter, there were no leaves left, and there were trees with bare branches.

As I walked through the trees, I saw a shabby hut.

A hut that remains like an abandoned house.

The light dove was spinning above the hut.

“Are you here?”

Maguire said so and reached out to the sky.

Then a light dove hovering in the air flew toward Maguire’s hand and disappeared.

Luna swallowed her saliva and walked slowly towards the hut.

Then Maguire reached out and grabbed Luna.

“Luna, wait a minute.”

“yes?”

At Maguire’s words, Luna tilted her head.

“Hmm… … .”

Maguire stared intently at the hut.

“notice… … Is it magic?”

installed magic.

However, this was not the only engraved magic.

Other than that, I felt the magic.

It feels like the whole hut is surrounded by a magic circle.

The hut itself was operating like a magic tool.

Maguire took his hand to the hut.

And I felt the mana flowing in it.

There are two or three magic circles engraved inside.

However, the flowing mana was unusual.

“Well… … .”

Maguire thought.

Entering this hut, Ian finds out.

And I don’t know what the inside of the hut is like, but if you fight inside, you’ll have a very bad fight.

However, the hut itself did not feel dangerous.

Maguire made a decision.

“Luna, you go in alone.”

“yes?”

Luna looked at Maguire with a surprised face.

“There is nothing in it that is life-threatening. there’s no one inside So there is nothing to worry about.”

“Then the professor… … .”

“I won’t stop him from coming this way.”

Maguire opened the iron bag and took out several magic tools.

“Don’t worry about me, if you rescue Rudy, run away quickly.”

Luna couldn’t open her mouth to Maguire’s words.

who will come this way.

When he came in, the only person that came to mind was Ian Astria.

Then Maguire said he was going to stop Ian.

“… … .”

Luna trusted Maguire, but she couldn’t say anything because she thought she was taking this risk because of her.

Seeing Luna like that, Maguire smiled.

“Luna, what are the strengths of a wizard who uses a magic circle?”

“yes?”

At Maguire’s sudden words, Luna put on a puzzled expression.

“When you know your opponent, know yourself, and prepare for it, you can exert overwhelming power. This is our strength.”

Maguire tapped Luna on the head.

“I am now in a state where I can make the most of that advantage. So don’t worry.”

Luna looked at Maguire like that and clenched her fists.

“Professor, be careful. See you later.”

Luna politely bowed 90 degrees and bowed.

And ran into the hut.

Maguire smiled and hardened his expression as he looked at it.

And he started taking out one or two magic tools.

Ian Astria.

When the guy went to the academy, I saw his abilities and personality a few times.

Of course, it was a time when space magic could not be used, but it didn’t matter.

Even using space magic didn’t change much.

I’m not going to give him an environment where he can fight.

Maguire got up from his seat with a bunch of magic tools.

“Would you like to cook a baby boy?”

@

Capital, Astrian mansion.

Ian was having tea with Lie without knowing what was going on.

The conversation between Li and Ian was very casual and comfortable, but Li had a very uncomfortable expression on her face.

Ian thought he had completely hidden information about Rudy.

However, Rie had a very happy smile in her heart.

Because Rie already knew all the facts that Ian had hidden.

Lee was just acting.

Acting with Lee’s whole soul.

It wasn’t acting like I usually wear a mask.

However, Ian was smiling without even knowing it.

“Fufu… … .”

Ian smiled like that and tried to bring the teacup to his mouth.

thud.

“… … ah.”

The sound was not from the surroundings.

His mana reverberated.

The hut where Rudy was imprisoned.

Someone broke in there.

Who the hell?

Ian looked at Li in front of him.

Lee was frowned just like before.

Ian did not understand the situation now.

Princess Li, who is looking for Rudy, doesn’t know anything?

However, I quickly made a decision.

It is certain that someone broke into the hut.

Whether it was related to Princess Li or not, it was necessary to deal with it.

Originally, I would have sent Thomas or the others, but something felt uneasy.

Lie’s sudden visit and invasion of the hut.

completely unrelated. Rather, it is the opposite behavior.

So it felt weird.

Once Ian made the decision, he had to go to the place himself.

“Princess, I have a place to go to for a while, so I will go.”

“Are you going to go?”

Lee asked as if he didn’t know anything.

I thought to myself that Luna and Professor Maguire were doing something.

“Yeah, I’ve been busy for a while.”

“Uh-huh, where are you going to leave the princess alone?”

Lee frowned and said.

It was only natural that it would be rude to leave a customer alone, lest he go to the bathroom or something like that for a while.

“sorry. Can you really give me a moment?”

Ian shook his head, thinking that it was bothering him.

“Well, are we going to see you in the mansion for a while?”

When Lie asked Ian, Ian thought for a moment and nodded.

“Yeah, I’m just visiting the office for a while.”

“Hmm, then, let’s go for a moment. I’ll wait.”

Ian gave a small bow to Li and left the reception room where Li was.

“I got annoyed.”

Ian muttered to himself.

I can’t leave Lee alone for a long time.

However, Ian thought that it was enough to come and check it out for a while.

“Teleport.”

Ian’s space magic.

A magic that moves one’s location to the desired place in an instant.

I thought that if I had this magic, I could check the hut and come back soon.

Whoever the opponent is there, you just have to hit it with force, press it, and come back quickly.

Ian’s body disappeared with a small light, and moved towards the hut.

no. Ian was obviously trying to move towards the hut.

“Well?”

However, the place he was moved to was a white room.

There were no huts to be seen, no trees to be seen.

I looked up at the ceiling and couldn’t see the sun.

Just a room surrounded by white walls.

It was a white room with nothing.

“What happened?”

Ian frowned.

Obviously he was going to move to the front of the hut, and there was no problem.

There was absolutely no reason to be moved into this strange room.

Then there was only one.

“Is it a hallucination?”

Ian smirked.

Ian spoke quietly.

“What are you going to do with this fantasy?”

Then I walked slowly to one wall.

“Who is it? Are they related to Princess Li?”

As I tried to approach the wall, something came out of the wall.

The look was familiar to Ian.

“Principal McDowell?”

Principal McDowell suddenly appeared and looked at Ian.

Ian frowned at the sudden appearance of McDowell.

McDowell looked at Ian and spoke quietly.

“Nothing has changed yet.”

Eyes looking at you with pity.

There was sympathy and regret.

Ian clenched his fists at the sight of McDowell like that.

“What are you talking about?”

Ian said full of anger.

“I have changed. I have become strong enough to fight you and win.”

taken from readwn.com

McDowell shook his head at Ian’s words.

“Ian Astria. The power must be strong But, that doesn’t matter.”

Ian clenched his fist and looked at McDowell.

Then, with a voice full of irritation, he opened his mouth.

“then……!”

However, while he was about to say that, he stopped talking.

Immediately, he raised the corners of his lips.

“Uh-huh…”

Ian took a deep breath and recognized the situation.

This is a fantasy.

taken from readwn.com

McDowell isn’t the real McDowell principal I know.

Ian made a decision.

“It’s a very well-made fantasy. Made by a guy who knows how to talk to me and McDowell… … .”

Ian stretched out his hand.

“But, an illusion is just an illusion.”

Ian’s mana fluctuated strongly, and mana gushed out of his hand.

“I don’t know if this illusion can withstand my magic.”

Ian smiled proudly.

“Spatial fissure.”

Kwajik.

The space on the side with McDowell cracked as if destroyed.

Not only that, but the cracks spread and began to crack.

It cracked like it was going to break the space.

A magic that makes the space crack.

It was a blow to the space itself.

The gold spread and ripped McDowell, leaving large cracks in the white space.

“under!”

Ian smiled as he saw the torn McDowell.

But, that laughter was short-lived.

Something was strange.

Only the appearance of McDowell was torn, but no major changes occurred.

Obviously, if you used a strong attack, it was natural for the hallucinations to disappear, but that didn’t happen.

“what?”

Ian had doubts, and gradually the cracks in the space began to be restored.

However, something strange started to get stronger.

Although McDowell’s illusion had disappeared, this white room did not disappear.

Ian looked around to see what had happened.

While I was looking around, something even more strange happened.

He could see the magic he used, that space rift, stopped while it was being repaired.

“Why are you doing this again?”

Ian frowned.

A space rift is literally a magic that only temporarily gives a crack in space.

Even with these cracks, the space recovered quickly because the restoring force was extremely strong.

Of course, anyone in that space would be torn as it is.

However, the magic that had just been used gradually slowed down and stopped with a crack in the space.

Ian frowned and put his finger on the side where there was a crack in the space.

Kwajik. Quajiic.

“What is this… … !”

And when he touched the gold, it suddenly spread out with great speed.

The entire white space where Ian was confined began to crack again.

The space itself trembled as it cracked apart.

“ね… … !”

The whole space shakes.

The floor and the ceiling began to oscillate tremendously.

Ian couldn’t focus and bowed down.

Then, this time, the floor began to crack.

“this… … !!!!”

The floor where Ian had been cracked and began to crumble.

The floor crumbles from the center.

Ian was a fantasy, and for once he ran towards the outside of the white room.

However, the speed of falling was faster than the speed of running.

“Ahhh!!!”

Ian began to fall to the floor as it was.

Into the great darkness… … .

When Ian is going through such a situation.

“Whew… … .”

The surrounding area is a mess, with broken trees.

Next to him was Maguire, sighing a sigh of relief.

At the end of the day, I was swept away by Ian’s space magic and was almost in trouble.

“It’s fine though.”

Maguire laughed.

In addition to the broken trees, there were a huge number of magical tools around.

taken from readwn.com

Magic tools to deceive Ian.

If he had fought head-on, it was clear that his identity would be revealed and the damage would be great.

So the method Maguire envisioned was to trick Ian with hallucinatory magic.

very thoroughly.

taken from readwn.com

Maguire knew a bit about Ian’s space magic.

He knew that he could travel long distances in an instant, and he also knew the magic of making gold in space.

So, while blocking the ‘Teleport’ magic, I decided to use that magic.

taken from readwn.com

Maguire first installed a magic tool that guides the surrounding coordinates to a point.

To use the ‘teleport’ magic, first specify the spatial coordinates and move to that place.

It is a kind of magic that specifies coordinates.

In addition to space magic, the magic for specifying coordinates was overflowing, so he had a lot of magic tools to interfere with it.

Next, I decided to use the ‘Space Rift’ magic.

First of all, I decided to send out the image of Principal McDowell as a hallucination to induce a situation in which the magic was used.

Ian took great pride in his strength.

However, Ian was once shocked to hear from McDowell at the Academy that he would gain nothing with such power alone.

Ian’s shocking experience.

In a fantasy, McDowell could provoke Ian by saying something similar to that time.

Then, Ian will use the strongest magic he can use, space magic.

I’m going to use the strongest magic as if I was refusing to say that I can’t do everything by force.

And it was exactly as predicted.

Maguire saw the same thing happen, and finally ran the pre-installed magic tool.

A magic tool installed in the center of the space where hallucinogenic magic takes place.

It was a very simple magic tool.

A magic tool engraved with ‘Dig’, the basic basic magic of the earth.

It was just a magic tool to dig the ground.

When Ian used space magic, he immediately activated the magic tool.

He activated the magic tool and dug up the ground in an instant, and Ian fell into the pit.

It was to create a situation in which he was struck by his own magic.

Because of such a situation, Ian was perplexed, and other embarrassment than the thought of hallucination magic filled his mind.

“My dear child. What would you do if you were strong enough?”

Maguire smiled and looked at the pit and said.
