Beg...?!

Professor Cain, where the hell are you from...? I was obsessed with the basement and didn't notice...

No, wait, calm down.

This is the opposite of a chance.

I thought you weren't listening anywhere. It's just right.

I just need to talk to Dr. Keith.

It seems that Dr. Cain carries his feet to the library every night for no particular reason.

There is no doubt that Dr. Keith was lying.

No, in the meantime, would you move on the assumption that Dr. Keith is telling the truth?

However, appearing around the library at night is not particularly bad.

But considering the fact that there may be something underground, it's not suspicious.

Dr. Keith's reaction was somewhat strange, and nothing happened.

"Ah, Professor Cain. My shoelaces just came loose...."

It's a little impossible, but it doesn't matter.

There's no basis for that. I will press it off with this.

"Oh, is that so? You were very serious about it. I called you twice."

"... it's the type to concentrate and fall in."

"You certainly were that type. [M] Even in my class. That concentration is quite impressive."

"Hah... Thank you very much."

What do you do? Is it too risky to ask about the basement?

Speaking of which, I was told not to talk about Dr. Keith.

I'll just give up asking you directly, and we'll get through this.

"Sometimes Gilford."

Yes?

"You said something strange when you took me to school."

"... is that weird?

You think I'm going to set you up?

I raise tension in my body so that I can move at any time.

"There are traces of magic in this library."

"Ah, you may have heard that. What's wrong with that?

"Don't be silly. Are you still feeling it?

‥ ‥ ‥

What's the right answer?

If what Dr. Keith said is right, then Dr. Cain has a strange attachment to the library.

I don't know what to do if I answer poorly.

--No, this is the time to start! You're not supposed to use your head on me!

They've already found out, and you don't have to hesitate.

"--I can still feel it right now, from under my feet."

"Hmm..."

Teacher Cain puts his hand on his chin and thinks.

I see... I didn't expect any of the students would notice this. My boundaries aren't that low. But what is it that needs to be reworked so that students can see it?

"Huh?"

What did you just say?

Did you say my union!?

You're kidding, it's just...

"What's the matter? Look at me like that."

"No, I was upset because I was taught the answers too quickly." "Is this the end of the line?

"I'm not going to tell anyone. You don't have to hide it if it's so good at detecting that you can already feel the signs of magic. The line - yes, I did. The headmaster asked me."

Was that so...?

Was this juncture Dr. Cain's?

That's why I was interested in the basement.

Have you been posting this lately?

"I can't tell the students any more. I just answered with respect for you."

"Do you know anything about Dr. Cain? What's down here?"

Then Professor Cain looked me in the eye with a serious face.

"Listen, Gilford. I don't know much about this underground. There's no harm in your life."

‥ ‥ ‥

Well, that's true.

I can't help wondering.

"Well, that's not what you care about. Still, I'm surprised to notice this trail... it's a pretty high level of detection. Even so, I'm an expert in building boundaries.

"Ahahah... that's all I can do."

"- Well, that's what I'll do. For now, forget about the basement. If you don't want to get caught up in something weird."

"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind."

Whether you believed the word or not, Professor Cain left the library with a light smile.

Well, it feels like you're already involved.

"Phew... I'm tired.

In summary, is this the case?

Teacher Keith and the others were not informed that the boundary was with Mr. Cain.

And Professor Cain checked his own boundaries every night.

Because Dr. Keith didn't know about it, he thought there might be something, and after asking us about the situation, he forbade it.

I feel like this is going to be the fullest.

But something's still hooking up.

Especially Dr. Keith's attitude.

I only saw it that day while saying I was walking around, and I didn't see any other teachers on other days.

Do you really have a person in charge of walking around?

But that's what I can't even think about right now.

In the meantime, let's be happy that one mystery has been solved.

Professor Cain still seems to be more reliable than Professor Keith.

◇ ◇ ◇

The next day.

Even though it was a holiday, all the school students were gathered in the practice hall.

Yes, the selected members of the three-school match are leaving.

The delegates stand in front of us and create a grand atmosphere.

All fifteen. There was also Mr. Homura.

The principal calls and Mr. Homura greets us on behalf of the members.

"Our school has now achieved two consecutive victories in three school matches! For example, I would like to say that this school's education is a gift, but 80% of it will be thanks to me!

The speech sounds funny from the venue.

Does he have hair in his heart?

I don't suppose you mean it.

"Promising magicians have also been elected this year. No one, he's all strong! Let's be clear, I don't want to lose this year's team!!

The venue is full!! All at once.

"This year, promising magicians are actively selected regardless of grade. The winner will be us again this year in London!!

In cheer, I whisper to Dorothy.

"What are you doing fighting three schools?

Having heard the question, Dorothy sighs with her usual familiar face.

"You don't know that your ignorance stays..." Each of the three schools, Rondor, Amalfis, and North North, elects a master magician to compete for magic power. "

"What, after all, the magician must be strong too, eh?"

"I won't deny it."

"So the other two schools are also famous?

Dorothy nods.

"Unlike London, Amalfis specializes in combat, and North is an excellent magic school. That's why Amalfis often wins three-school fights with a lot of fights. However, in recent years, Homura and Curse have surpassed each other. You said it was a double victory."

Speaking of which, I feel like I was saying that.

Then Len splits from the side and enters.

"Of course, you have to win this three-school match. And in the spring, Gil and I will join the members in an electric shock battle to decorate the splendid debut of the Spring Triple School Battle."

"What are you talking about? It's still too much to dream about."

"I mean it all the time."

Len scratches Polypoly and cheeks.

"Anyway, it's three school fights from today! Looking forward to it."

"Ah, let's cheer up for a while. Homura-san, it looks like the flies are coming in May.

Well, we're usually in class.

In this way, the spectacle of the three-school match ended.

After this, the students set out for the venue of the three-school match.

That way, the school will have only a few lecturers and a year left.

Speaking of which, Len said she would do something... I wonder if she would call other classes of girls.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. I'll ask you later.
