The dark night street is illuminated by the fire of the lamp jutsu from Pollois.
The sun has set and it's pitch black, the road leading to the holiday school building.
The library is already closed for the day.
Naturally, none of the students were returning from the school building.
Arumark and his friends reached the front of the darkened school building without passing anyone.
'You didn't answer,'
Colueng says as if it was a letdown.
"Damn. It doesn't get any easier.
I got some good exercise.
Almark replied.
'The cold air has cleared my head. I think I'll be able to study harder tonight.
Wendy chuckles at that statement.
'Well, let's just put it that way.
Pollois said and shrugged.
'Let's go back, Coluens. You're not going to tell me we're going to the woods, are you?
"I wish I could say that,
Coluen twists his mouth.
'I don't care if you know exactly where you're going, I'm not going to wander around in this cold until I run into a black robe with nowhere to go, either.
I think it's a smart choice for you.
Pollois nodded with a serious face.
Let's go home. Are you two okay with that?
At those words, Armark and Wendy looked at each other and then nodded back to Polois.
'Disappointing, relieved, and weird.'
Wendy smiled at that.
'I think I would have liked to have seen a little bit of it, but maybe I didn't need to.
We might meet up sooner or later.
Almark said.
'By then, I should have an idea of what the man is looking for.
It's kind of like having one more exam to take.
To Wendy's words, Armark nodded.
Yeah. That's about it. Let me know if you have any ideas.
"Of course. Teach first.
"You guys get along great,
Pollois looked at Armark and his friends as if they were looking at something rare.
'Have we known each other before, somewhere?
"No way.
Armark rolls his eyes.
'Of course we met at the Academy.
You're pretty close for that. What can I say?
Polois crossed her arms as she let the light swoop overhead.
'It's hard to believe we've known each other less than a year. Seems to me we've known each other much longer.
Pollois, you remember your ex-wife, don't you?
Coluene teasingly says, and Wendy blushes when she hears it.
'That's not what I'm talking about,'
Pollois made a disgusted face.
'Well, let's go home anyway. 'Well, let's just go home. I'm afraid I'm going to get very cold if I sit here idly.
No one disagreed with Pollois' words.
It was then that we started walking away again.
The first thing I noticed was Armark.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.
'Oh, that,'
"M
Wendy and Pollois also finally notice in the behavior of Coluene.
Darkness behind the bushes.
There, a man in a black robe was standing there.
'I thought we were walking side by side when I noticed.
Armark whispers in a low voice.
'You're standing there.
Don't tell me.
Colen whispers back.
That's his situation. Ask him.
Judging from his body, the man's age appeared to be much older than Armark and his friends.
However, he is not as old as the bronze wizards who wore similar black robes.
I'm not sure if it's the same as Irmis, or a little older.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
Armark and his friends faced the man in silence for a while.
The man's expression is unmistakable due to the hood on his face.
But Armarc could feel the man's eyes on him.
Somewhere in the distance, he could hear the sound of the wind.
Coluen took an impatient step forward.
'Don't.'
Armark stops it with a sharp voice.
'Don't move,'
"But you know what?
Coluen clicks his tongue.
'It's a sign of weakness that you can't wait, Colueng.
Armark said in a stern tone.
At that moment, the man's mouth suddenly twisted.
He speaks.
Arumark listens attentively.
'I'm looking for you.
I heard a low voice of a man.
'Not important, but important.
What's that,
Armark asked the man back.
'What is it that you're looking for?
There was a sound like a leak of air.
'You're smiling,'
Behind Armark, Wendy muttered.
"Armark. He's laughing at you.
"Don't you understand?
The man said.
His voice sounded somewhat amused.
Then I have no choice.
The man's body blurred in front of Armark and his friends' eyes, even though he wasn't moving at all.
It was as if his eyes suddenly lost focus.
'He's going to disappear!'
"Colen!
Colouen jumped on the man, overcoming Armark's restraint.
The supple, tall figure leapt.
But at that moment, the space around the man distorted.
'Damn,'
Coluen screams in anger as he tears off the grass where the man should have been a moment ago.
Seeing Coluen with his right hand outstretched toward the man who had appeared softly in the distance, Armark shouted, "Don't do it, Coluen.
'No, Coluen,'
Don't stop.
Colouen shouts back.
The power of magic manifests itself.
Object levitation. With the Art of Attraction, Armark could see that Coluen was trying to draw the man in.
Danger.
Armark's intuition tells him that he is in danger.
Armarc put his hand on the staff of Mars that he carried on his back.
'Whoa.'
Kollen's scream.
His tall stature was blown to the other side of the road as he was blown away by an invisible force.
'Coluen!'
Polois shouted and ran over to Coluene, who had fallen into the street.
The man said to Armark, who stepped forward to protect Wendy.
'Show me.'
What?
By the time Armark retorted, the man had disappeared.
'That bastard has talked a lot today.
As he said this in a carefree voice, Coluene raised his upper body in a vicious circle.
'Are you okay, Coluen?
As Armark and Wendy rushed over to call out to him, Coluene stood up with the help of Pollois.
'Oh, no way,'
Then, he said, brushing the dirt from his clothes.
I'm sure it's a way of paying back.
Wendy said as she anxiously watched Colen's movements.
'It looked like your art of attraction was returned intact.
Maybe.
Coluene nodded and licked the blood from his lips.
"Because the moment the magic was activated, my body was blown up.
"Are you hurt?
Wendy stands in front of Coluene to apply the healing technique.
Coluen chuckles and waves his hand.
"I don't want it. That's not even close to being an injury.
"I know you're tough, but don't be rash.
Pollois says.
'What if you get hurt before the test?'
"Well, it was before the exam.
Coluen said as he remembered now, and looked regretfully at the area where the man had disappeared.
'I guess that's it for tonight. You missed it again.
"For tonight,
Pollois frowned.
'No way, you're still going to do it.
Of course.
Coluene nodded with a natural face.
'You don't even know who that guy is.
I know how you feel, but I think that's enough.
Pollois said with a grim face.
'I even got to see that guy and Armark having a conversation. That's enough. We'll leave the rest to the doctor.
I don't know how I could ever trust you to do something this interesting.
Coluen said and smiled.
The smile reminded Arumark of Coluen's smile in the forest field sometime ago.
I'm not sure if it's important or not," he said.
"What about you?
Armark asked, and Coluen chuckled and replied, "I'll figure out a way to get him.
'I'll figure out a way to get that guy.
On the way back to the dorm.
Wendy, who was walking side by side with Armark, said in a whisper, "You know, I've seen that guy.
"I saw that guy watching Armark.
Did you think so too?
Armark looks at Wendy's profile.
'I get it, too. But I didn't think it was dangerous.
I thought it was dangerous when Coluen tried to use magic.
'Yes,'
Wendy nodded.
'I don't know how to describe it either, but I know it's not the same as the power of a demon like Borapa or that guy called Rynul.
Coluen walks in front of them, bustling about how to catch the man, while next to him, Polois is seriously speculating about what the man is looking for.
'Is Armark going to go looking for that man with Coluens again?
Wendy looked at Armark inquiringly.
'Hmm, I don't know,'
Armark twists his head.
'But maybe I'll go it alone. When I get the answer.
"Yes.
Wendy smiles.
'Take care of yourself.'
Thank you.
Armark said that and then looked at Wendy curiously.
You're not coming back?
Yeah. I'm done.
Wendy nodded.
'Because I have a feeling that she's not the kind of person who'd want to harm Armark.
