Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand
End of Practice
As Almark and the others sat down shoulder-to-shoulder on the burning road, Wendy raised her face.
"Hey, the wind."
"Oh, it's true."
Almark nodded.
The lukewarm wind stopped.
Instead, it was the autumn wind that blew.
Although south, this season the wind is a little chilly this time of year.
Morgan also turned his nose and smiled.
"The unpleasant smell disappeared. Hey, what's this?"
Ah.
Almark nods to Morgan with a smile.
"The teachers gave me the darkness."
"Wow, the teachers."
Morgan leaks honest thoughts.
"We're all three. We're like this."
"Yeah."
Almark nodded.
"I knew it was gonna be okay, but it was amazing."
"We'll be together someday."
Wendy smiles.
"If you work hard like this,"
"I feel like I'm going to die before then."
The three of us laugh at Morgan's words.
Somewhat.
There was a wind in front of the three of them.
"Sensei"
Almark's face shines.
It was Ilumis who showed up.
The face and robe are dirty, but there are no noticeable injuries.
"Are the three of you okay?"
Ilumis saw three people sitting on the ground with a small lamp and walked up fast.
"Yes, we can't all walk yet, but we're alive."
Almark answered.
Good to see you, too.
"I'm sorry. It took longer than I thought to close the door of darkness after defeating the monster."
Illmis said so and looked at the three with painful eyes, turning his eyes across the road.
"I wasn't expecting that much darkness to send us into the darkness. It was my mistake.... bolapa."
I looked at the fallen body and murmured.
"You've got a big one. It's a big deal."
"What were you dealing with?"
Asked by Wendy, Illmis frowned as she remembered.
"It was an extra-large Eldane. I split in three."
Uh-huh.
Morgan looks fed up.
"Great. Our opponent can cut off his neck and speak normally."
"Depending on what you think, bolapa is more troublesome. They use magic."
That said, Illmis bent in front of the three.
"You seem to be hurt a lot."
"I'm not hurt."
Wendy answers.
Doctor, Almark and Morgan, please.
Hmm.
Ilumis looks at the two and begins by reaching out to Almark.
"Once there are signs of healing. Wendy, did you do this?"
"Yes"
Wendy nods.
"Um, I don't have time."
That's what makes you look worried.
"No, it's brilliant."
Illmis said that and smiled at Wendy.
Nice work.
"Thank you."
Wendy exhaled relieved.
"Morgan, I'm sorry, but you have to wait a little longer."
Morgan nods when Ilumis tells him.
"Yes, I'm fine."
"No, it's not okay. To squeeze the magic so far is to have considerable courage and readiness. Good work."
Unexpectedly complimented, Morgan shows an illuminated expression.
At that time, the wind blew again.
"Dr. Fear."
Call Wendy the name as relieved as she is.
"I'm sorry I'm late. It's dark for everyone."
That's how Fear's hair glistened with the lamp lights.
"Doctor, hair."
Wendy reaches out to Fear's hair.
"Beautiful"
"Oh, this."
Fear smiles and bends her hips.
At Wendy's fingertips, grains of light spill into droplets.
"... frost?
Yes, you still have a little left.
Fear nodded and knelt next to Illmis.
"Miss Ilmis. I'll help you."
"Thank you. Now, Dr. Morgan, please."
Ilumis said that and then turned to Almark.
"I can't see the second-graders."
Yes, actually.
Almark explained how he broke up with the second-year students after being attacked by a monster.
I see.
Ilmis nods with a harsh face.
"Sure, it's an inevitable measure to be attacked by Volapa."
"I'm sure those three will be fine..."
In Almark's words, Illmis answers as she resumes her wound healing.
I see. It's my instinct, but I'm a magician with them. I'm sure you'll be fine. Celia and your classmates aren't doing the same. "
"Yes"
Almark nodded.
"Looks like you've had a lot of trouble too."
Under the hand of Ilumis, the wound healed.
"Because he was a strong enemy."
Was there a deviation in my soul?
"There was. I don't usually care much anymore, but today I feel like I have a rash only when it's important. But I managed."
"The closer the soul and flesh, the more pronounced the shift becomes. But it seemed like the daily medicinal water worked."
"Yes"
As Almark nodded, Illmis looked up unexpectedly.
Look into Almark's eyes with serious eyes.
"Good work."
Almark nods with a smile.
"I'm the teacher's teacher."
Ilumis loosened his mouth and shook his neck, again turning his eyes to Almark's wound.
"But I'm really glad we're all safe."
Morgan shouted at Fear's words.
"Doctor, you're not okay at all."
Huh?
Morgan shows his backpack to Fear with his face up.
"I was hit by a bolapa fireball blast. About half of the herbs I picked were broken."
That's right.
Wendy sounds sad.
"I tried my best to pick it. And after all, I didn't pick any horse mackerel."
"Oh, that's tough."
Feer frowns.
Then perhaps we need to change the contents of this year's drug bath.
After saying so, I smiled gently.
"But it's okay. I'm sure Dr. Celia will think it over."
Along with Illmis and Fear, the three of them finally walked out of the woods, and there was a big fire in front of the school building.
I can see a lot of students around it.
"Ah, Al Marks!
It was Nelson who saw them first.
"The teachers are here too!
"Hey."
Morgan waved loudly.
Everybody okay?
"This is the last of you!
Nelson screams back with a smile.
"That's all of them!
When they heard that, Almark and the others looked at each other.
"All of them."
Yeah, so did Fita and the others.
"Ah, look."
At the tip of Wendy's finger, Fita and Zap waved with a smile.
The smile is not for the two of them before the practice began. It was a good smile full of confidence that we did our part.
Behind it, I can see Radmar standing.
I didn't shake my hand, but it looked like I had a soft expression.
"The three of you look fine. I'm glad."
Ilumis, walking next door, whispered softly to Almark.
"It was a terrible night to cancel my internship or put my students in danger."
When Almark raised his face, Illmis looked forward with a harsh face.
"As a teacher, I have some thoughts."
Almark noticed.
Ilumis' eyes laughed at the students who were illuminated by the scorching fire.
"Considering that this was an internship that encouraged your growth, it might have been a huge success."
Illmis tapped Almark gently on the shoulder saying that this was the only story.
