- In the abyss.
Oswald said that quietly.
Saab was listening to the story in silence.
Sabrina no longer disagreed with Oswald grumbling like that.
"I learned about the abyss when I became Principal of Fishanatica. And I found out. That's when Kyle showed me who the magic was..."
"Identity?"
"I mean... that's the abyss. Its existence is deeply closed. The principals of Heilkwaite and Fishanatika learn about the abyss at the same time as they take office. And the former principal told me to monitor the abyss. That's the truth about these two schools, not the code. all to attract and monitor the fools of the abyss"
"Wait a minute. What is an abyss fool? ……
Then Oswald answered without hiding.
- Nito.
"Huh?"
"Nito... he is the fool of the abyss. That unusual power in the talking wand, definitely in the abyss. Although the features of the abyss vary, according to materials left behind by historical principals, the abyss reflects the superficial and deep layers of the host, and most of the time, it is alien and has unusual fluctuations. And I can't even sense it in a constant person. In Nito's case, I don't think there's a reason for that magic."
But I can't understand the abyss with such an explanation.
Even after hearing the explanation, Saab left the question mark floating.
"The... intermediate magic or advanced magic, is that what you're talking about? Is the magic used by Nito going up even further?
"Different story. Indeed, as I said before, his magic will go further than the 'Wand Speak'. So what? I want you to think about it. In the first place, why was there such a place as" Wand Speak "?"
"... what does that mean?
"The wand opens its mouth and can't possibly return the words. This means that the magic defined in this position will be so far off track. Then Nito naturally carried the" talking wand ", which was supposed to be outside of his common sense. Do you know what this means?
……
"I've never seen a talking wand before. We have been told to monitor the abyss, but little has been asked about its identity.“ The abyss revives darkness "…" The fool swallowed by the abyss loses love and brings chaos to the world "… and the talking wand. It's all in this world, a fairy tale. Then the talking wand was real..."
"Um... but what does that say? Isn't that a wand?
"" I don't know... "
Oswald doesn't know how to explain it any more.
Teaching strangers is a difficult story.
Oswald himself recently learned about the existence of talking canes.
"Saab, make a row about Arthur. And learn, there are many descriptions of the abyss in the world. But in many of them, there is no letter“ abyss ”. Well, if you think about it, when you feel like there's something going through there, it's just something that makes you think so. There are many such stories and history books. All I don't even know is who wrote it. Then there's a common meaning to read."
"Meaning?"
"Well, the different shapes, there is something like an idea that emerges from deciphering. And it's described in common in many books."
"The... what?
"-" The abyss betrays... "
"Betray?"
"... I don't know what that means. But those who left them in the Hereafter knew more about the abyss than we did little. And mothers tell their children to read it and take care of their friends and people."
Oswald doesn't speak much.
So it only passes on fragments to Saab, and it's just unnecessarily confusing.
But like Oswald said, I don't know about the abyss.
Even Oswald, who has seen it directly, doesn't know much.
"Well, I thought, wouldn't a teacher be able to kill Nito? Because once the teacher..."
"I can't."
Oswald responded instantly.
"Impossible?"
"Ah, he's too heterogeneous, my magic no longer extends. Did you see that? I even lagged behind the Demon Army. The battle whilst sheltering the wizard struck the old body. If I beat him up, I might have managed to do something about an executive even if he was an old body, but it is suspicious whether I could have done more than even Master Brahms could have fought. What is certain is that it does not extend to the Demon King first. Nito buried it easily. The dimensions are too different."
But Brahms was fighting while watching one and Fiora.
That said, if you're going to deal with a less intelligent monster, though, Demon Clan's, which also became an executive class, stopping was the limit.
"Really..."
Which means I can't kill you... Saab's hopes have been cut off again.
The expectations and possibilities of Saab begin to crumble.
"I haven't given up yet."
"Huh..."
"The College of End Victoria, there now, keeps my grandson Zells on his way. But no one donates the end college. Not even the principals of Phishanatika and Heilkwestern can get in. I don't even know if I can get a pleasant reply. But I haven't given up hope yet."
Saab doesn't know anything about The End College.
But Saab only heard Oswald say, "I won't give up."
"I have not even informed the king of this. Me, Sabrina and Zells are the only ones we discussed and went to. So I just want you to talk about it here."
No matter what you say, then why did you tell yourself that?
Inside Saab was overflowing with doubt.
"Saab, you have to be strong.“ At that time ”must be visited. Of course I'm afraid, I just hope nothing happens, but in the world, everything is done as much as possible. I saw the abyss, and now I'm the principal of this Phishanatica."
It's the perspective of the long lived.
Oswald had a view ahead.
- Nito is at the center of it.
Oswald was, yes, sure.
"It's Saab."
"Yes."
"The“ brave man "of my story destroys the“ demon king ”. I hope that one day you will be our hope in the world."
Oswald smiles gently at the bewildered Saab of his expression.
What the hell does that smile mean?
But Saab understood what it meant, though he couldn't say it in words.
Oswald then took one robe out of the cupboard.
It's a National Treasure (History) robe that Oswald used to tell his students.
Sent to 3 selected delegates for the opposing school match.
Oswald, who was bummed about the abyss or something, forgot to give it to the three of us.
"There is something in this world that should not be touched. It's about too much power in people's hands. It's not something that people can handle..."
Oswald said so with his beautifully tarnished robe in his hand, as if it had been altered.
Son magic and nito magic.
Same abyss to varying degrees.
Oswald was plunging into something called an abyss.
When Oswald killed his son, the concept of 'justice', which had been in him until then, collapsed.
It gradually collapsed, and justice, which until then had been “simple purity," was complicated, so that something called darkness in the world could be seen more clearly.
- It's some kind of illness.
Until then, and ever since, the world has never changed just because Oswald killed his son.
There was always light and darkness.
But since then, Oswald's eyes have been full of darkness.
His appointment to the seat of principal was at the end of the day.
And Oswald met the king of Hachi, and soaked himself further into the darkness.
There is no more pure justice there, as it once was.
"It's late, but I'll give you this. I'm more than happy to be represented."
When Oswald handed the robe over, for a moment, the look looked somewhere sad.
Upon receiving it, Saab stared seriously, checking Oswald's face.
But what's there is the face of the headmaster who thinks of his students.
"You're a master..."
"... Yes"
Oswald was the last... to smile.
▽
After Saab left, there, the dark clouds were still standing in.
And after a while, the door to the room opens again.
"Grandpa..."
Then a man wearing a robe and a hood will appear there.
And the man came into the room, and took the hood.
Then, there she appeared, a woman with beautiful short redhead hair, enough to cover her face.
Zells, are you back?
It was Oswald's grandson who showed up there. - It was Zells.
Zells, who for some time had stepped down from his position as student chairman and left school.
"And what happened?
"I've kept the message."
"I did it."
What was in Zells' hands was a piece of folded parchment and a small box of vertical lengths.
Then Oswald receives them and when he places the box on the table, opens the parchment.
And I followed with my eyes the letters written there.
"... this is"
When Oswald finished reading the letter, he clogged the words.
"I couldn't get in there. I was given this in front of the gate, and I returned."
"I guess so, Victoria's closed. I'm not allowed in, and once I do, I'm not allowed out."
Therefore, "College of the End Victoria", even if the place is known, nobody knows its inside.
Even the Great Commander is foolish to break in, and does not send any powerful magic.
Oswald then took out the contents when he opened the box he had placed on the table earlier.
"Is that... a wand?
Sabrina asks with interest.
"I don't know..."
Then Oswald lost his wand.
"Zells, it's time. I'll be right out."
"Yes."
Then Oswald, when he magically lit the fireplace, took out the shitty parchment and the box, and threw it into the fireplace and burned it.
"Oswald, what's there? ……
Sabrina asking for the contents of the legend.
But...
"Sabrina, ask for the school. I could have done it."
"Things to do? ……
Sabrina keeps the question mark afloat.
Oswald does not speak of the contents of the letter.
"If I leave school all of a sudden, the kings will find out. In that case, your next suspect will be the Lord. I don't care what you ask me. I don't know what I'm going through. Or…"
So I won't tell you what it is.
That's what Oswald says.
And, or... run.
Oswald was ready.
Schneizel told me to leave Nito's case to myself.
That's why I explained that I didn't have to incite it unnecessarily.
But Oswald was not convinced.
For Oswald, who saw those swallowed by the abyss in front of him, the matter of Nito was not so cheap as to be left to others.
But Schneizel and I didn't decide anything cheap.
"So where to?
Oswald then wrapped his extra robe around him and put on his hood.
"- In the world. I have to go. Zells, are you ready?
"Yes, Grandpa"
Then at Oswald's feet, a magic formation appears.
"Oswald......"
Sabrina had no idea why, she was confused.
"I'm not going to dig a grave, but that day, you're going to kill my son and restore the justice you lost?
In between, Oswald smiles weakly.
"Sabrina, I left the rest to you. Ask the students..."
At that moment, the appearance of Oswald and Zells disappeared with the light.
At the same time, the fireplace fire goes out.
……
There was one Sabrina left in the dim room.
