Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

"Anything else that bothers you?

When asked about the yologue, Almark actually opens his mouth.

"The Shadow finally stroked my back. At that time, I felt like I was losing my soul."

"You didn't hear that."

"I'm sorry, I broke it."

"Where are you going?"

Ilumis frowned.

So...

"It didn't work until my soul came out, but I couldn't say it well, but it felt like it was deviating."

"Offset"

Illusion's eyes become sharper.

"Yes, my body and soul are deviating. My body stopped moving. But Leila helped me."

"Leila, you?

Asked by Illmis, Leila nodded small.

"Almark stopped moving. I feel like I'm losing more and more heat from my body.... I used a cure."

"Healing."

Ilumis raised her eyebrows and Leila looked down.

"I knew I shouldn't use it. But I didn't know what else to do."

I see.

Ilumis bites his lips.

"But there's nothing wrong with it. Instead, I'm feeling better."

Almark says in a hurry.

"Come here."

Regardless of Almark's words, Illmis put Almark in front of her desk.

Open your hands.

When Almark did what he was told, Yolog also stood up and stood in front of Almark.

Hmm.

Leila looks pale as the two teachers stare at Almark's body from the front, back, left and right.

"A little distortion."

That's right.

Illmis nodded at Yologue's words and gave Almark a harsh expression as he lowered his hand.

"You haven't waved a sword since you fought the Shadow."

Almark nods when told by Yologue.

"Yes"

"If I had been waving my sword, I might have noticed. Subtle sensory differences."

That's how Almark saw his hand.

I don't feel any particular discomfort so far.

"How was Mars's wand in the battle against the Shadow?"

Asked by Yologue, Almark answers honestly.

"Yes, it was amazing. It would have multiplied my natural strength... without it, I think it would have been more dangerous."

Yeah, I guess so.

Yologue nods with his smiling eyes, he adds.

"That's why very subtle distortions appear when you use a wand."

Almark was relieved by the words.

A stick that increases or decreases magic and becomes a wand and sword.

Certainly, it turns out to Almark that a small sense difference could be a major failure.

"Don't use Mars' wand for a while."

"I understand."

Almark nodded.

"I want you to visit Dr. Celia on your way home."

That's what Yologue said, looking back at Illmis.

Illmis nodded and told Almark.

"Have Dr. Celia prepare the medicated water. Drink it every day and the distortion will heal in ten days. That's why you don't have to look like that. Leila"

That's how Ilmis looked behind Almark with her eyes on something painful.

Almark looked back and noticed for the first time that Leila had tears in her eyes with a pale blue face.

"Good."

Leila said in a faint voice.

"What if there's something I can't get back....."

That's it, the words stopped going on. Tears spill out.

"Leila, I'm fine."

Almark says in a hurry.

"I'm fine. And I'll drink Dr. Celia's medicinal water every day."

Drink it properly.

Leila said to cover her face with both hands and squeeze it out.

"Don't forget."

"I'll have a drink."

Almark nodded.

"That's like the punishment this time. Dr. Ilmis."

Yologue said gently.

"It's tough to drink that medicinal water from Professor Celia every day. Leila, you're never going to be rude again. I can promise."

"Yes"

Leila nodded with her face covered. Tears spilled from between my right finger and finger.

"This doesn't mean you have to have weird confidence."

When Leila left the dean's office first, followed by Almark, Ilmis said softly.

"You were attacked by darkness beyond your control, but you were able to retreat. Why do you think that is?

It's the power of our people.

Almark answered immediately.

"My friends always helped me. I've never won alone."

"That's right."

Ilmis nodded.

"You've been saved by your people. Your people helped you because you helped them. As I may have said before, in that sense, your way of life is correct."

Ilumis told him to grab Almark's shoulder with unexpected strength.

"Live straight."

"Yes"

Almark nodded.
