After I broke up with Hulin and the others, I went back to the dorm room at the academy.
Later that night, when I only slept, I noticed something strange coming from outside.
Weird noise?
No, people's voices are mixed up.
I wonder what this is...
When I was staring at the black window...
A loud voice rang from the other side of the door.
Alberto! Are you awake, Alberto!
It was the voice of Philbus, who was with me just now.
The voice is followed by a thump and a violent knock.
"What is it, Dr. Philbs?
Here we go!
The door opened and Philbus showed up.
That face was harsh.
"What's wrong?
"I'm in trouble at the academy. Sorry, but I need your help."
"I don't mind. - Trouble?
"There's a lot of undead wandering the campus."
"... why?
"I don't know. But anyway, eliminate it. They're all low-ranking, like skeletons and zombies, but they have numbers. I need the help of the one who stands up."
"Okay."
I'm a bit confident in magic arrows, too. There will be something I can do.
"Are you asking anyone but me?
First grade, besides you, Brain and Surrey.
Three first-year students with iron badges?
All third-graders have iron badges - but they weigh different than Brain and Sirless. The third grade was awarded in "normal grades," but the two of them won with overwhelming abilities.
Really? Now, let's go get Brain. "
This dorm is divided into civilian and aristocratic use. Originally, I lived on the civilian floor, but the nobility was discovered, so I decided to move to the nobility floor. I didn't have to keep it that way...
Brain is noble, so it's closer than Civilian Surrey's room.
When I said so, Philbus looked reluctant.
"... no, I've already gone... but I haven't heard back"
"Didn't you answer?
"Oh, I've called you so many times. The room was also locked. They're going somewhere."
Really?
There is a curfew on the dormitory. Dormitory students are usually in their rooms at this time. I wonder if he is somewhere in school.
"... about Brain. You can walk around the school by yourself. I'm going to get Surrez."
I'll chase Philbus after he walks fast.
The students peered out of the room with worried faces.
"Let me, Sensei... what's going on outside?
"Never mind! You'll be safe in this dorm! You just protect yourselves!
Philbus answered with a strong tone and kept moving forward.
Then he came to Surrey's room on the civilian floor. Speak up just like I do.
"Hey, Sirless! Come on! Can I help you?
Slap the door in a stronger and stronger manner.
Then I heard a weak siren from the other side of the door.
My head hurts a little ~ I can't do it today ~
"Oh, hey, seriously!? What's the situation, Sirless?
That's what Philbs says in a hurry.
But I didn't hear back.
There was only a faint silence.
"... if you're not feeling well, I can't help it..."
Philbus sighs with exaggeration.
"Sorry, Alberto. The three of you should probably work."
... it's pretty tough...
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
That night, Laura was studying in the library at the academy.
If you are a dormitory student, you can use the college facilities on holidays or at night. Laura had been studying "often" in the library since she entered school at night.
The "Often" became more frequent in two semesters.
The reason why...
Because I read the Witch of Disaster's Magic Book.
Laura wanted to be able to control this enormous force.
(The strength itself is not bad. How to use it is important. The Witch of Disaster did not use her powers correctly. I use it correctly)
First of all, Laura wanted to increase her knowledge of the Witch of Disaster a little bit and looked for a related book.
If you look in the library of a large college...
It wasn't anywhere.
It's not that strange.
Information about the Witch of Disaster is strictly regulated by the Kingdom.
Witches of evil are wizards of evil. I defeated the kingdom in battle. As a result, the country was rough and took time to recover. "
More information than the fairy tale is sealed.
Not even that name.
It was Laura who gave up information about the Witch of Disaster, but she put more effort into the study of magic itself.
We need to increase our magic.
We must be able to control the magic more.
We need to deepen our understanding of magic.
More, more, much more.
The realm of Witches of Disaster is far away. Laura was sparing no time to study to get as close as possible.
At that time...
Someone called me.
"- Well done, Laura."
When I raised my face, Hulin stood there.
Holiday Night Library - There were no other people around.
"Professor Hulin... what's wrong? At night like this?
I'm here to borrow a book.
That said, Hulin put up two books in his hand.
"I live in a dormitory, so I use the library a little bit. So I thought I'd never see Laura again."
"... it's still not at all. I have to study a little."
"Uh-huh. Seriously! I want other students to hear it! Cute, Laura!
"No, no, no...."
So Hulin changed the subject.
"By the way, how's Alberto these days?
Laura replied surprisingly because she didn't think Hulin would wave such a story.
"... you haven't been able to talk much..."
"Yes, it is."
"Well, Alberto thinks it's time to spend some time with the nobles....."
Laura said what she told herself many times.
Yeah, yeah, and Hulin nodded.
"Today, I talked to Alberto..."
"Yes"
"I'm sure Alberto thinks what Laura is saying, but he's tired..."
Really?
"Look, Alberto, you don't feel very sociable, do you?
"Ah, ahh...."
Laura didn't have the material to deny Hulin's analysis.
"Looks like you're a little tired... if you like, just stick it in Laura's face. Stress Divergence Stress Divergence"
Well, that's...
I thought it wasn't a bad idea.
"But how can civilians talk to me....."
"It's okay."
Fufufu, after laughing, Hulin continued.
"He won't ignore Laura. You know that, right? He's not sociable, but he's a nice guy."
The words fell into Laura's heart.
"... you trust me, Alberto."
"He hasn't changed much since he was a student."
Hulin laughed joyfully.
"If you have any trouble with Laura, be sure to talk to Alberto. Alberto will never do that! I won't abandon Laura!
"Yes"
Laura nodded bitterly at Hulin's powerful words.
And then Hoolin kept going like this.
"I don't know about you as a teacher... but I'm telling you! Laura! I'm here for you! Good luck!
"Eh?"
Hoolin was surprised at Laura's hand! and grasped it in the middle of the day.
"What do you support?"
"What?" Good luck.
Hulin doesn't say that.
And goodbye! That's why I left once and for all.
"What?"
Of course, Laura understands that she is not as dull as Alberto.
(... I don't know, what are you saying...! Dr. Fring!
Laura threw herself back into her study, hiding her frustrated feelings.
(No, that's not true! I'm friends with Mr. Alberto! Mr. Alberto is a nobleman!
I put myself into study.
I tried to knock it in.
I couldn't get it in.
Aware of the loss of concentration, Laura stood up. Put the book back and leave the library behind.
(Fu, fufu, because Professor Hulin says something weird....!
It's been a long time since I got here. We need to get back to the dorm.
Laura walks down the empty hallway of the college. The hallway was dim, but there were magically activated lamps everywhere, so it was easy to walk.
When I tried to get down the stairs...
Hit me, hit me.
There was a strange noise from downstairs. It's like climbing a staircase with barefoot.
