Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Shhhh.....

”...... Giggle”

After pressing the magic circle of the automatic wand with his fingertips, the waltz hardened for a while before collapsing into place. No magic came out of the automatic wand.

"Oh my God..."

"Why can't I use an automatic wand when I can use a magic lantern?" Not knowing the cause of the failure, the waltz went astray. If it had been as planned, by now, she would have been scolded by High Spears just like Asteria, but it was too sad for Waltz not to make it happen, and she was at a loss.

Those who knew her condition could only see from a distance, without being able to speak. It was just painful. Lucia and the others turned away unintentionally.

On the other hand, it seems that the teacher Hi Speer could not understand why she collapsed because she did not know the circumstances of the waltz. I was so worried that an accident might have occurred.

"Oh, are you okay?! Mr. Waltz!"

"... ehh... I'm fine..."

Waltz answered briefly without telling the details and stood up. Perhaps because it was too submerged, she stood up flustered like a ghost. Looking at the unusual situation, Hi Speer seemed to be in a panic.

"(What the hell...)"

As High Speer remembers, the waltz changed dramatically shortly after she put her fingers on the magic circle of her automatic wand. It was natural to assume that touching the magic circle caused something unusual in the waltz.

"(Without magic, something happened to Mr. Waltz's spirit...?" No, I've never heard of such a report, and since it's a staff dedicated to fire magic in the first place, it's impossible to affect the spirit.....) "

Then why did the waltz suddenly subside...? Having thought that, High Speer arrives at a hypothesis.

Waltz-san, will you give me back my cane?

"Ah... yes. Here you go..."

When High Speer retrieved his staff from the waltz, he checked it carefully. As a result, she transforms her hypothesis into certainty.

"...... Mr. Waltz, could you try your magic again?"

High Speer asks while returning the wand he just collected, but Waltz doesn't respond well to it.

"... no, that's fine. I hid it until now, but actually, I can't use magic... I was hoping that I could use an automatic wand... but it didn't seem to work."

Waltz revealed the facts to Hi Speer, without hiding his inability to use magic. It seems that she even came to the conclusion that it was not necessary for her to be at the college. I couldn't use the automatic wand, so even if I took the time to figure out how it worked, I couldn't help it.

High Speer couldn't immediately understand what Waltz was saying. Rather, it seemed to think that it was too much of a statement because it was sinking.

Because of that, she was a little impulsive at the time. I took a waltz that I didn't want to receive even if I offered a wand, and forced him to hold it.

“It's okay, Mr. Waltz. Even Waltz-san could use an automatic wand. Come on, try touching the magic circle with your fingers."

High Speer said so and stepped back. One more step is for the student to walk, rather than push their back. That's what I decided.

"(Now, take the magic circle!)"

High Speer chanted in his heart. It's not magic, it's nothing. It's just the voice of the heart. I thought I had to say it, even if I knew it was ineffective, and she kept saying it over and over.

Because of that, the fingers of the waltz move little by little. 1 cm more, 5 mm more... "

At last, her fingers touched the small magic circle of the automatic wand.
