Ice Sword Mage Unites the World - The Boy, the world's most powerful magician, enrolls in the School of Magic

A few days later.

I decided to go to my master. A member of the Special Selection Unit "Astral" came to see me before I met my mentor.

"Ray, how are you?

"That's right. Generally, I don't think there's much problem."

Lieutenant-Colonel Henrik-Farenheit. It is said that he is an outstanding man who has led many battlefields in this battle and made many achievements. He was in charge of Astral, our Special Selection Unit, but he was also active in other units.

And Mr. Flor and Delk stood behind him.

"Ray"

"Mr. Flor. Thank you."

"... you can't use magic."

"That's right. But I don't need it anymore. The war is over. I don't have to use magic anymore."

"... yes, but..."

The tooth cut appeared to be bad, but I didn't pursue it any further. She brought me an assortment of fruit and peeled the apples while I was talking to someone else.

"Ray, have you gotten a little thinner?

"Delk. Well, maybe. I can't even do it right now."

"Will it get better soon?

"There is no trauma and almost no problem. Except I can't use magic."

I see. Well, I'll see you again. Take care of yourself. Let's do some muscle work together. "

Ah.

When they shook hands, the people who had come, including Delk, left. After that, Colonel Garnett came to replace him.

"Ray, it's been a while."

"Colonel, yes. I've been asleep."

Her long, hip-length hair runs back and smiles nicely. He always looked tense when he was on the battlefield, but now he's completely calm.

"You can't use magic."

"Strictly speaking, it feels like you can't use other magic to suppress the Magic Realm Runaway (Overheat)"

"Magic Realm Runaway [Overheat]... It seems it will take years to fully heal."

"Yes. Could it take years or more? I don't know."

I see. Ray, that's what I'm talking about. "

"From now on?

Talk about it from now on.

I have no idea. I can't live as a soldier anymore, so I asked Carol to do the vetting process. It seems that the upper ranks of the army accepted it lightly.

Carol said it might rub a little... but I'm sure she did well. I have to thank you again soon. After the war, I will remain in your care.

"Me, Carol, and Lydia are leaving the army."

"Eh... either Master or I, why are you both here?

"I'm not for the military."

"I don't think so...."

There will be no one on the battlefield who thinks she is unsuitable for the army as a commander more than Lieutenant-Colonel Harrenheit. Why would the colonel say such a thing?

"No, it's not. Besides, that battlefield was too harsh. I don't want to experience the fear of losing someone I care about anymore."

"Is that so...?"

I knew right away what I was talking about Howard. Later, as I realized, the Colonel liked Howard. I didn't realize it at all, but I watched the Special Selection Unit, Astral, spend a lot of time together when it was active.

When I was told, I was willing to do so.

"From now on, I've decided to spend my life training backwards."

"Backward training, huh?

"Ah, the post of dean of Arnold Magic Academy is now vacant. I will be officially inaugurated shortly."

Congratulations.

"Thank you."

I think I started to smile gently, but this is what it is. Still, the Magic Academy. I don't have any connection at all. If I hadn't barely attended school, I wouldn't be able to go to college again, and... this hand is too bloodstained.

I wouldn't be able to live as a normal student.

"Ask Lydia what Ray's going to say."

Master?

"Oh, that's not what I'm supposed to say."

Slow rise.

And when she raised her hand slightly, she went out of the ward.

Then a few days later. I finally went to my master with my own feet.

Walk inside the hospital.

It's early in the morning, and I thought it was an unusual time for a master... Now there is a time zone and people are idle. I can hear only the sound of my footsteps echoing.

It's Ray.

"Oh, you can come in."

I heard back as soon as I knocked. The voice was bright and I thought it was my usual master... but seeing her in bed, I would know the reality that Carol had told me again.

"... you have a wheelchair, right?"

"Oh, I think Carol told me, but I can't move without this anymore."

……

Dive.

My master's lower body stopped moving. The fact will never change.

"Apparently Ray treated me, but it didn't completely heal. But I'm glad you're alive. Thank you very much, Ray."

"No way... I'm..."

Tears are about to overflow.

I could bear it, but I couldn't stop the flaking and dripping on my own.

"My... it was my fault that I was stunned... because my master protected me... because of me... my master..."

Yes, it is.

I remember that time clearly. If I had been more steadfast, my master would not have lost his lower body. Because of me, it becomes difficult to live the life ahead. I can't walk on my feet anymore.

It's all my fault.

"Ray"

I hear voices. When I looked at Master, he looked serious.

"... Master"

Come here for a second.

"... yes"

As I approached, Master gave me a strong and very strong hug.

"I just want you to be alive, that's all."

"... Master"

"I made the right choice at that time. I can assure you that's all. Ray just keeps me alive and I'm happy enough."

"... uhh... Master, I don't know..."

"So, thank you. As you live, so can I feel Ray's fever and warmth. That's enough. It's trivial that your lower body doesn't move."

"Master... uu... gugu... I'm glad my master is alive..."

I thought it was a dry tear. However, I kept crying while being held by my master's chest. It felt like throwing up everything that had been stored up until now.

I've been patient. I've pushed myself to death. Because that's what I should have done. I don't have time to mourn the deaths of my people. If we had that time, we would have had to move on.

But you don't have to go any further.

You may mourn the death of your companions. You may mourn the death.

Looking closely again, Master was also weeping quietly. That's right. It's enough for both of us to be alive. It's enough to feel each other's heat and talk. I'm sure Master feels the same way.

After a while, I was facing her away from my master.

"Ray, I'm going to tell you something."

"Yes"

Talk about the future.

The colonel told me to ask the master, so I waited for it. I'll go back to the house we used to live together, but I'll take care of my master. That's what I'm going to do.

However, she said something that she had never expected.

"You are to be adopted by my sister and wife. From now on, we will live as Ray-White. You shouldn't be near me anymore."

"Eh...?

I couldn't understand the master's words at all ─ ─.
