Winter at Nork Magic Academy.
After the Magic Festival, which was a major event, the academy had a hasty atmosphere before the exam.
The exam itself is only available once the winter vacation is over, but the scope of the exam must be rounded up before entering the vacation.
Elementary school students, especially junior high school students, began to study by changing the color of their eyes, regardless of the glamorous atmosphere during the Magic Festival.
For Almark, who has been so overwhelmed with knowledge and technology, learning at an even higher pace is no longer a coincidence of limitations.
Anyway, there's too much to do and not enough time.
If you don't have enough time, you'll have to spend some time sleeping.
Friends such as Wendy and Morgan looked worried about Almark, whose complexion was getting worse every day.
Nevertheless, the graduation exam is so demanding that the more distracted they are, the more difficult it is to fail. I can't even worry about Almark.
Every day seemed like a storm to Almark.
I don't have time to breathe.
Oh, it's over for today. This is the only one I have made yet.
I haven't even put my hands on it yet.
Didn't Miss Ilmis tell you to finish it by tomorrow?
Damn, we don't have enough time.
The sun is already rising.
Almark spent every day in such a hurry.
It must have been because of that.
After school one day.
In Ilmis' tutorial, Almark made a terrible mistake.
On that day, Ilumis was presented with the challenge of turning stones into birds.
The magic of change is the most advanced of the magic Almark needs to fix in the elementary school.
Therefore, its use requires more concentration than other magic.
Almark put the stone on his hand and concentrated.
After judging that the magic was fully practiced, I slowly transferred the magic to the stone.
The shape of the bird. The structure of the body. The direction of the magic flowing through its body. While firmly imagining such things, it exudes delicate magic.
However, Almark was not able to draw the image well.
Is it because of the tiredness of the days? Today, the appearance of a bird that would normally be able to imagine the details is somewhat ambiguous.
Damn it.
It was then that Almark was irritated by the unconsolidated image.
"Ah."
Almark shouted loudly.
The magic that had to be injected delicately was injected into the stone at once.
The stone swelled up in sight and turned into a strange, repetitive fetal object, like the heart of a chicken, about the size of a human head.
Shit, magic.
Before Almark finishes, the strange object jumps out of Almark's hand and rolls toward Radmar in a daze.
"Wow."
Radmar screamed.
A strange mouth pops up on the object, like a chase, suddenly laughing.
"Almark, you."
Radmar screamed as he ran away in a hurry.
On purpose. Harassment of me? "
"I'm sorry, I'm not."
Almark chases the object in a hurry.
"In the first place, this is... It's creepy."
"I don't know why such a thing happened. I failed to make a bird."
"Where's the bird?"
Radmar screamed as he saw the object that had begun to grow even worm-like tentacles as it rolled.
"Are these things flying in the sky in the north?"
"No, that's not true."
Just stop it.
Radmar's screams are already close to screaming.
"Why is he chasing me all the time?"
"I wonder if I like you."
"Don't joke. Do something."
"I know."
However, the tentacle-growing object bounces around the floor with surprising agility.
I chase Almark, but I can't catch him because he moves faster than a bad little animal.
"Disgusting."
Radmar screams.
"Do something. Hurry up."
"That's funny."
It was when Almark twisted his neck.
Hmm.
The object suddenly floats up and falls into the hands of Illusis as it dances through the universe.
"This is terrible."
Ilumis glanced at the object that was moving the tentacle while laughing suddenly.
"Even if you fail, there are failures."
"I'm sorry."
Almark rushed to Illmis.
"I made a mistake adjusting my magic."
I made a mistake, but it's not true.
Ilmis said.
"You couldn't control the magic."
When Illmis puts his strength into his hands, the strange object immediately returns to its original stone.
"Looks like you're doing a lot of impossibility."
Illmis looked at Almark's complexion and said.
"Students as tough as you look so tired. I suppose they do it desperately in the dormitory every day."
"Yes"
Almark nodded.
"But there's still work to be done. I don't catch up very much."
Say that and chew your lips.
"It's a waste of time sleeping. If you had a body, you wouldn't need time to sleep."
"It's a triumph."
Illmis handed the stone to Almark.
"One or two days isn't impossible. If you stay so tired that you can't control your magic, it's more harmful than the effects of continuing your training."
Illmis turned his back on Almark.
Walking toward Radmar, whose face was relieved by the disappearance of a strange object, he told Almark behind his back.
"Almark. You may go home today. [M] Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you don't have to come to majors."
"Oh, no."
Almark raised his voice.
"Sensei, I can't make it. Please, let me do my tutoring tomorrow."
"Almark"
Illmis made a clear and harsh voice.
"What are you so anxious for?"
"It also makes me impatient."
Almark answers.
"After all, it's a graduation exam soon. I can't be sent home without going to middle school."
However, Iris shook his head at the words.
No, it's not.
Huh?
"Your haste is not your fault."
Illmis stared at Almark's face with a harsh expression.
"I was talking about the dean the other day. That's what caused it."
Almark made his expression look stronger as if he were seeing through his heart.
"I'm carrying something I can't bear, and I'm still trying to carry it. That's who you are."
Almark has no words to return to Ilmis' allegations.
"You need some time."
Ilmis said.
"Once you put down what you think you've been carried, take a good look around. That way, you're wise. [M] You should be able to notice."
Say that and relax your expression a little.
"You don't have to carry all of that, either. There aren't so many things that should really be carried."
Illmis pronounced himself on Almark, who had no guidelines.
"Sometimes you need to be impatient, but that kind of impatience that clouds your eyes is only harmful. From today until the day after tomorrow, I forbid you to train in magic."
"Oh, no."
Almark looks desperate.
"Did the teacher tell you to let me down?"
"I'm already in a hurry to think so."
Illmis speaks.
"Now, go home. I have to see Radmar. You go back to the dorm, you sleep fast, you do something a little more positive, you do whatever you want."
"Being Positive"
Almark snapped.
"What is that, for example? What should I do?"
Think for yourself.
Ilmis had no island to attach.
"In the meantime, sleep today. When you try to think with a sleepless head, your head just pretends to think. You can't have a good idea."
That said, Illmis no longer gave Almark a glimpse of herself looking like a discarded puppy.
Don't get in the way of Radmar's practice.
I had no choice but to leave Almark behind in his magic practice hall.
When I went out, there was still residual light to the west.
It's been a long time since I went back to the dorm so early.
Almark walked slowly down the road to the dorm.
What should I do?
In your head, you're halfway there.
After a short walk along the road, Almark's heart has a natural and wendy face.
Oh, I want to see Wendy on a day like this.
However, Almark notices a figure walking in front of him.
That's it.
I'm nodding and I don't think I'm feeling very well.
Unexpectedly, Almark called out.
"Zap, what's going on?"
