Knocking and opening a large heavy door in the dean's office, Yolog greeted them with his usual gentle smile.
Nice to meet you both.
That said, Yologue called them to his desk.
"Come here."
I didn't see Ilumis today.
"Is Miss Ilmis here?"
When Almark asked, Yolog nodded.
"Oh, Dr. Ilmis took it off this time."
Really?
Indeed, Rhinel said that he was a former classmate of Illmis. Almark thought it might be hard to say in front of Illmis today.
Okay, let's start with the usual ritual.
Yologue joked and took Almark's right hand, which stood alongside Wendy.
How about a snake?
That said, when a pale light was emitted from his hand, Almark's hand was immediately clear, and a black snake was still wrapped around it.
Wendy frowned and looked spicy.
"Hate Snake"
That's how I see snakes.
Get out of Almark's hands.
The snake lifted its head as if it had heard the voice and threatened Wendy in his direction.
"It's okay. I'm just here. He can't do anything now."
Yologue said.
"When the right time comes, it will be powerful. That said, at best, the role that lures darkness to you."
"Yes"
Almark nodded.
Even in the dark trap of the past, the right hand snake did nothing wrong.
I can see that my right hand trembled and a dark trap was activated.
At best.
"I don't care so much about this anymore."
When Almark answered, he gently retracted his hand.
"We know that if we do what we have to do, the snake will disappear."
Hmm.
Yologue nodded.
"One last thing. Was it the sword, in your opinion, Professor Ilmis?
"Yes"
Almark replies.
"I don't know if it's a hit."
"If so, that's your area of expertise."
That's right.
After answering, I still shake my head.
"But I don't think it's such a simple trap. I don't even know if the sword works."
Looking at Almark, who answered calmly, Yolog narrowed his eyes.
"Almark. You've become more successful. [M] I've been tough since I got here, but now I've added suppleness."
"I don't know."
Almark smiled.
"But if so, thanks to the teachers and the students here."
That's right, Yologue nodded.
That's a good thing.
"Yes"
A moment of silence.
It's time to get down to business.
Speaking of which, Rhinel is here.
That's what Yologue said and saw them both.
I heard it was a fight.
Almark and Wendy face each other.
"Yes"
Almark answered on behalf of the group.
"He used dark magic to pour magic into Wendy's body somewhere."
Hmm.
Yologue nodded.
And then?
"He managed to take Mars' wand from me. He wanted me to give Mars' wand to him myself."
"But after all, Mars' wand was safe."
"Yes"
Almark answers and shows Mars' wand to Yolog.
"But when he manipulates his wand to shine, there's a huge amount of magic coming from Wendy's body."
"I wonder how that works."
"I stopped the wand."
"How?"
"I hit him."
Almark answered.
"I hit him with my hands and stopped."
Yolog opens his eyes.
I hit him. I stopped him.
He murmured and then looked at Al Mark's face seriously.
"Did you think about that yourself?"
"On my own... yes."
Almark nodded.
"I remember my father's words. He doesn't listen to me, he says," Hit him and shut him up. "
"Father's. I see."
When Yologue said so, he silently stared at Almark's face for a while.
Eventually, he muttered as if he were talking to himself.
The yologue shakes his neck gently to continue.
"Then what happened? Rhinel wouldn't have given up that much."
"Yes, I tried to say a lot of things to make me nervous, but I also waved my wand and kept it away. And then I realized later."
Almark remembered Rhinel's behavior and said.
"He wasn't that serious either."
Hmm.
"So Wendy woke up and Dr. Ilmis came to help me as I stared at her."
I see.
Yologue nodded and looked at Almark.
Deep blue eyes seemed to sparkle for a moment.
"I have already reported to Garay's royal palace that Rhinell attacked a student using dark magic at the academy."
Yologue said quietly.
"The royal palace's response was simple. Former court magician Rhinell went missing without permission from the royal palace a few months ago."
Former court sorcerer.
Wendy raised her voice.
Well then, isn't he a court sorcerer anymore?
"That's what I think it is."
Yologue nodded.
"You told the martial arts tournament that he was coming with Prince Wolf. After a while, Rhinel left the palace."
Really?
Wendy said that she applauded him.
"I said I was a court sorcerer myself, so I knew the royal family..."
Say that and shake your head like you've reconsidered.
"No, nothing."
"Did you think the royal family was behind it?"
Yologue passed on his words gently.
"No, you know what?"
Wendy blushes.
"Sorry, I've been thinking too much."
"Well, not necessarily."
"Who is he?"
Almark held his mouth shut.
"This wand is the key. Wendy said it was the gate."
Say that and look straight at the blue eyes of the yologue.
"What does that mean?"
I am also concerned about Rhinel's whereabouts.
But he said we'd see each other again.
Then one day you'll stand in front of Al Mark and the others.
So now it's okay.
By then, all we have to do is build up our strength and turn it around this time.
What bothered me more than that was the meaning of the word.
"Gate, huh?"
That's what Yologue said and exhaled.
"This is going to be a pretty tough conversation for you, so I was going to keep it quiet until I gave you the strength you deserved."
Wendy took a breath next to Almark.
"Now that your seniors have gone wild, I can't keep quiet any longer."
Soon the smile disappeared from Yolog's face.
A shadow clearly appeared on each of the deep wrinkles engraved on his face, and in the sculpted expression, only the blue eyes were bright as if they were another creature.
Wendy, you're the gate.
Yologue said quietly.
"An alien realm sealed with enormous magic that is close to immortality. The gate that connects it to the world."
"Near immortality, magic"
Wendy repeated it as if it were a freshly remembered word.
"What the hell is that? Why is it sealed? Who sealed it? What is a different world? Why, why should I?"
Wendy's mouth was filled with doubt.
"Why am I the gate?"
"I don't know why you were chosen as a gate."
Yologue said without changing his expression.
"But I can answer other questions."
That said, I took Wendy's anxious eyes.
"The sealed magic has a real owner."
"True Owner"
Wendy mutters.
"Who is it? Are you a great sorcerer from a long time ago?"
"No."
Yologue shook his head.
"Who owns magic?"
The voice is as low as being alert to someone asking.
"The original darkness."
The original darkness.
In that words, Almark remembered the illusion that the temperature in this well-warmed room had suddenly dropped.
"Alias."
Yologue told the name in a low voice.
"Lord of the Dark Abyss."
