Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

The dark night path is illuminated by the light of Polois's magic.

The road leads to a totally dark, holiday school building where the sun falls.

The library is closed today.

Of course there was not a single student coming back from the school building.

Almark and the others arrived in front of the dark school building without passing by.

You didn't answer.

Koluen clapped his hands off.

"Shit. Isn't that convenient?"

"It's a good exercise."

Almark answered.

"I felt refreshed by the cold air. I think I'll do my best tonight."

Wendy giggles at the words.

Well, that's what I'm going to do.

That's what Polois said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Let's go back, Koren. You wouldn't say you were going to the woods."

"That's what I'm trying to say."

Koren distorts the mouth.

"If the destination is clear, I'm really sorry to hang around until I run into a black robe without going anywhere in the cold."

I think it's a smart choice for you.

Polois nods with a serious face.

"Let's go home. Are you two okay with that?"

Almark and Wendy looked at each other and nodded back to Polois.

"I feel sad, relieved, weird."

Wendy said that and smiled.

"I think I wanted to take a look, but maybe I didn't have to."

"Maybe we'll meet suddenly."

Almark said.

"By then, we'll have to figure out what the man is looking for."

"Looks like you've kind of got one more exam subject."

Almark nods to Wendy's words.

"Yeah, it's like that. Let me know if you can think of anything."

"Of course, I'll tell you first."

"You two are close."

I saw Al Mark and the others like Polois saw something unusual.

"Have you known him before?"

"No way."

Almark rounds his eyes.

You must have met him at this academy.

"That's a lot of intimacy. Somehow."

Polois put his arms together as he flicked the light into the air.

"I don't think I've known you for less than a year. Looks like we've been seeing each other longer."

Polois, don't you remember your own forgiveness?

Wendy makes her face red when she tells Koren to make fun of her.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Polois looked nasty.

"Well, let's go home anyway. Blurring around like this makes my body cold."

Nobody was different from the Polois' words.

It was then that I walked out with him again.

The first thing I noticed was Almark.

Almark quickly stopped Koren from jumping toward you when he noticed that he was overdue.

"Ah, that."

"Mm."

Wendy and Polois finally noticed Colén's behavior.

The darkness behind the bushes.

There was a man standing there in a black robe.

"I thought you were walking side-by-side when you realized."

Almark whispers in a low voice.

"You're standing."

"Don't tell me."

Koren whispers back.

"That's what happened to him. Ask him."

From the looks of his body, the man looked much older than Al Mark and the others.

But not as old as the bronze magicians who wore the same black robes.

Is it the same as Ilmis or a little higher?

I don't have anything in that hand.

Almark and the others confronted each other in silence for a while.

The man's expression may be asking because he is wearing a hood.

But Almark felt that the man's gaze was on him.

I can hear the wind somewhere far away.

Colen took a step forward like he was in a hurry.

"Don't."

Almark stopped it with a sharp voice.

"Don't move."

"But it is."

Koluen pounded his tongue.

There's weak evidence we can't wait, Koren.

Almark said in a harsh tone.

At that time, the man's mouth was distorted.

Say something.

Almark quickly clears his ears.

"I'm looking for"

I heard a man's low voice.

It's not important, but it's important.

"What is that?"

Almark asked the man back.

What are you looking for?

There was a leaking sound of air.

He's laughing.

Behind Almark, Wendy mutters.

"Almark. He's laughing at you."

"Don't you see?"

The man said.

The voice sounded as if I was having fun somewhere.

Well, there's no other way.

The man's body blurred in front of Almark and the others, even though he wasn't moving at all.

It's as if the focus of your eyes suddenly went out of focus.

"It's going away!

"Koluen!

Koren jumped on the man breaking Almark's hold.

Its supple length moves.

But at that moment, the space around the man was distorted.

"Shit."

Koren raised his anger as he ripped the grass from where the man should have been.

Almark shouted as he saw Koren pointing his right hand toward a man who appeared pretending to be far away.

"No, Corwin."

"Don't stop."

Koren screams back.

The magical power is revealed.

Object floating. Using attraction techniques, Almark also knows that Koren is trying to attract a man.

Watch out.

Almark's conjecture is dangerous.

Almark put his hand on the Malus wand he was carrying.

Uh-oh

Colen's scream.

The invisible force blew him across the road.

"Koluen!

Polois screams and rushes to Koren, who has fallen on the road.

The man said to Almark, who had gone out before to cover Wendy.

Show me.

"What are you doing?"

When Almark said so, the man disappeared.

"That bastard talked a lot today."

With a gentle voice, Kool-en woke up his upper body.

Are you okay, Corwin?

Almark and Wendy rushed in and shouted, and Koren stood up with Polois's help.

"Oh, my God."

That's what I'll do, I'll take the dirt off my clothes with my hands.

I'm sure it's a return trick.

Wendy said so worried as she watched Colen move.

"Your attraction seemed to have been returned."

Maybe so.

Koren nodded and licked the blood that seeped into her lips.

"My body blew up the moment the magic started."

"Are you hurt?

Wendy stood in front of Koren trying to cure him.

Koren waved with a bitter smile.

"I don't need it. I can't get into a wound like this."

"I know you're tough, but don't be rude."

Polois says.

"What if you get hurt before the exam?"

"No, it was before the exam."

Koluen said as he just remembered, he seemed to regret the man's disappearance.

Are we done for tonight? You missed it again. "

"Tonight's the night."

Polois frowned.

No way, you still want to do this?

"Of course."

Koren nods with a natural face.

You didn't even find out who he was.

"I know how you feel, but that's enough."

Polois said with a steep face.

"I was seen talking to that man, Almark. That should be enough. I'll leave the rest to the teacher."

"I can't let the teacher handle this funny thing."

That's what Koren says and laughs.

With that smile, Almark remembered the smile of Kohlen one day in the middle of the forest.

"You don't know what's important. Think about what's important."

"What are you gonna do?"

When Almark asked, Koren replied with a smile.

I'll figure out how to catch him.

Return to the dormitory.

Wendy, who was walking alongside Almark, said it was slippery.

"He saw Almark."

"Did you think so?"

Almark looks at Wendy's side.

"I understand that, too. But I didn't think it was dangerous."

I thought it was dangerous when Koren tried to use his magic.

"Yeah."

Wendy nodded.

"I don't know how to say this, but I know that monsters like Bolapa and Rhinell have different powers."

Walking in front of both of them, Koren talks about how to bustlingly catch a man, and next to him Polois looks seriously at the reasoning about what he's looking for.

"Is Almark going to look for him again with the Korens?

I saw Almark as Wendy explored.

Hmm, I don't know.

Almark twisted his neck.

"But maybe I'll go alone. If you know the answer."

"Yes."

Wendy smiles.

"Be careful."

"Thank you."

Almark looked at Wendy strangely after saying so.

"You're not coming anymore?"

"Yeah, I'm done."

Wendy nodded.

"I don't think he's harmful to Almark."
