In a dark forest where nothing is known.

A man in a grey robe stood barely in the darkness.

The golden ring fitted on the middle finger of his right hand glowed slimy as if to suck away even the faint brightness of its surroundings.

The Lord of the Ring, Linulu.

He was a sorcerer who manipulated the power of darkness.

"Finally, I'm so close."

Rinel muttered in a low voice.

“Irmis, it's time to settle.”

Then he held something in his hand and raised it above his head.

It was a luxurious bracelet with a number of Bao-yu on it.

"Nine brothers, a stone bracelet."

Rinel said in a harsh tone.

"Show me your strength."

The bracelet was one of the powerful magic tools given by Prince Wolf of the Galai Kingdom.

The bracelet glowed dullly, echoing Rinel's voice.

The nine treasures that had been inserted slowly came off.

Red, Blue, White, Black, Green, Yellow, Purple.And gold and silver.

Nine treasures of each color were floating in the air, slowly deforming and getting bigger.

"Grang is a stupid man."

Rinel muttered.

"It gave me an interesting perspective."

Right in front of him, Baoyu was beginning to take on a human figure.

"Everyone in the class. No, the whole school year. If you think about it, they are all chosen children.To train the owner of Mars' Staff and mow it down with that despair, that's what it was. ”

Nine men and women eventually appeared in front of Rinel, who was watching as she murmured.

Their faces shone dullly into the still dull and radiant bracelet in Rinel's hand.

Each hair and eyes were dyed in their respective colors as if to show the color of the original Baoyu.

Ah, it's been a long time.

A bright-red-haired boy raised his voice.

"This is how we all face each other."

I see. I wonder how many years have passed since the last battle.

A girl with yellow hair answers with a cold smile.

"Human life expectancy is short, so you don't know much about it."

"Pula. Lira. Don't talk too much."

A blue-haired man with a strong body said to stare at them.

I haven't finished talking to the Lord yet.

"Yes, yes."

The red-haired boy shrugged his shoulders, and the yellow-haired girl let out a small tongue.

From their shadows, a tall man with shimmering golden hair came forward.

Is the Lord our Lord this time?

The man looks at the rhinelle as if he were going to fix it, and asks.

It was a low, but often passing voice.

"That's right."

Linulu nodded.

"My name is Linul." Nine-color Bao-yu's magicians.I want you to fight for me. "

Sure.

The blonde nodded at the eagle.

"We obey the sorcerer."You said "Rhinel."

Having said that, I looked straight at Rhinelle when I confronted her.The eight people behind him follow suit.

"Gwint of gold or less, nine of us."Let us fight by the command of our Lord. "

I'm looking forward to it.

Rinel smiled loudly.

"Soon the academy will be a battlefield."The fight between the nine of you will be an anecdote since the start of the Nork Academy of Magic. "

It's about training me and Mars' staff, isn't it?

Almark frowned.

"The purpose of the rhinelle."

"Yes, it is."

The Eurolog nodded.

Even if you think about the contents of the four-time trap, there are only a few verses that seem to be true.

Saying that, I looked at both of them.

Irmis remained silent with no expression next to Eurog.

"If you do your best, you'll barely make it through."

The Eurolog says.

Erdain. Shadow. Bolapa. And the Mercenary of Darkness.

Nothing can make a sorcerer grow faster than life-threatening.

Lynn's voice resurrected in Almark's mind.

Of course, if you could not break through and lose your life, it would be good as well.

“Why?”

Almark asked.

"Why would you do that?"

"Remember me."

The Eurolog says.

The first martial arts raid was obviously an attempt to steal Mars' wand itself.

Aiming for Almark's absence, the copper magicians entered the dorm room and tried to infuse Mars' wand with magic power.

The silver sorcerer who continued to appear saw Almark only as a mere wand bearer.

"... yes"

Seeing Almark nod, Eurog continues to speak.

However, the three traps that attacked you afterwards were all aimed at you as the owner, not Mars' staff.

It was true.

Library, Izumi Grotto, Night Forest. The three traps that attacked Almark in a row.

All were dangerous battles, but Almark only relied on the power of Mars' staff to fight Layla in the Izumi Grotto.

"Why did you target yourself?"You tried to take your life.I could have taken a more desperate approach. ”

That's what the Eurogue said, looking at Almark.

“But I didn't.”

I thought you shouldn't take a sloppy approach.

Almark admitted.

"Like Rhinelle herself and the sorcerer she met on Clan Island, there was a dark sorcerer with very strong powers, but she didn't come out."And what each trap represents, in the end, didn't make much sense. ”

I thought a little bit about the meaning of each trap.

Ilmis held his mouth shut.

"But it's not clear enough to talk here."Either way, it doesn't mean anything to Rinel, but it doesn't have anything to do with you, and it doesn't matter that much. ”

The Eurogue nodded tinyly to the word and turned back to the subject.

"After the three traps were broken, Rinel himself appeared."It was at the Sorcery Festival.I wonder what he was saying at the time. "

The first day of the sorcery festival.

In front of the rock on the way to the forest where the two of us met.With a candy in his hand, he folded up his grey robe, and Rhinelle herself appeared in front of Almark and Wendy.

"At that time, she said that she was training him to acquire the strength appropriate to the owner of Mars' staff."

Almark answers.

But I don't believe in such an outpouring.

"I was talking like I was leaving you to it, but the truth is, it was the truth."

said Eurog.

"Rhinel came to see how the" gate "was opening inside Wendy, and to see how far Almark could use Mars' staff.Of course, there must have been a desire to take the staff from your hand. "

You can train me to master Mars' Staff, so what do you want me to do?

Unsure of the meaning of Eurog's words, Almark shouted slightly.

What's in it for you and the Dark Sorcerers?

“It's not funny to them, of course, that the owners strengthen their power and fortify their attachment to the cane.”

Eurog admitted.

But what if there was a way to put the owner on our side who could draw enough power from his cane?

The blue eyes twinkle.

“What if I could get a key and a protective hand at the same time?”

"Do you mean I'm on the side of the darkness?"

Almark shook his head.

"Impossible. I would never do that."

Say that, and look at Wendy next door.

"I can't believe I betrayed Wendy."

Wendy nodded with a serious look.

"Dr. Ilmis."

Eurog looked back at Ilmis.

"I wonder what Rinel's research at the Higher School was."

Yes.

Ilmis quietly opens his mouth.

"Separation of flesh and soul. How to do it"

Almark's eyes widened at the words.

Whether in the library or in the fountain cave, the trap seems to have touched your soul.

That's what Eurog said, turning his gaze back to Almark.

"Particularly, the library trap was a violent extraction of your soul."But if Rinel himself were to be serious, he would be able to separate your body and soul much more quickly, not so naively.And he will have Mars' staff and your flesh well-acquainted with it. "

"Are you saying that Rhinel had deliberately set up a trap to train me?"And that's to get my body after I work out. "

Wait for the season like a farmer waiting for the harvest.

Observe Almark's condition and, judging that he has grown up well, mow down his soul.

Is that what this is about?

"Yes, it is."

The Eurolog nods.

I don't know when the next raid will be.

Saying that, I fell down my eyes.

"That's when the real thing happened." Maybe when the rhinelle peels off her true fangs. "

I won't let you.

A sharp voice resounded in the room.

“I won't let that happen.”

It was Wendy.

"Almark's body is exclusive to Almark.That soul is not something that others can touch on their own. ”

Wendy's voice trembled with anger.

"Not to mention, a darkened hand."I'll never forgive you for that. "

That's right.

The Eurolog nods quietly.

"Wendy, you're right."

Then Eurog looked at the two with his hands together.

“It's Almark that we've been watching Rinel's trap for some time now.Because I felt that you could handle it with such exceptional power.And in fact, you've broken the trap, and you've grown every time. "

Saying that, I nodded tinyly.

"But when I heard about Krang's Island, I knew things had changed."A dark sorcerer, other than Rhinel, intervened, and Rhinel showed his true intentions.If that's the case, it's not the case.We have to take this seriously. "

"Headmaster, I will not deny the battle."

Almark said quietly.

"I grew up in a life-threatening fight."I was able to bond with Wendy, Morgan, and my friends.I don't think that's a denial. ”

I am the son of a northern mercenary.You can't deny a life-threatening battle.

The men of the North are recognized as warriors, and the men of the North are recognized as warriors only after a life-threatening battle.The opportunity should not have been available in the otherwise peaceful south.

There is a certain truth in Lynn's words.

I admit it.

After admitting it.

“But that's why they don't do what they want.”

Almark put his strength into his words.

"We will fight our battles."

Say that, and look at Wendy.

"Right, Wendy."

Yeah.

Wendy nodded.

“Me and Almark will fight the battle that we think is right.I will never become someone's pawn. "

Strong eyes. Almark always thinks when he sees them.

Wendy is beautiful.

"Both the" gate "and the" key "are very important."

Wendy said.

“We are us.You must never shake it there. "

As I say to myself. Ask Almark to confirm.

Yeah.

It was when Almark nodded.

More and more, the door of the dean's office was roughly knocked on.

Ilmis raises one eyebrow.

Humph, the Eurogue nodded and deposited his body on the back of the chair.

"Come on in."

The door opens to answer that call.

"Excuse me."

Looking back at the students who had come in, Almark exclaimed with surprise.

"Wallis."

Wallis wasn't the only one.From behind the blonde class committee members, two sets of classmates came in.

Nelson, Norish, Raido, Lilti, Selaha.

Curime, Buyer, Pillman, Galain, and Deg.

And Layla.

The last incoming Morgan closes the door.

What can I do for you, all of you?

Eurogue asks. Wallis shook his head.

“No, not everyone.Because there is no torque. "

After that correction, Wallis changed his voice.

"However, I came to tell the head teacher the consensus of all the two groups in the third year, including the torque."

Hmmm.

The Eurolog nods.

Let's hear it.

“I heard about Wendy and Almark on vacation.”

Wallis said.

"We will fight together."

To be honest, he was a leader that the class could rely on.

"This isn't just a fight between the two of them.You shouldn't be at the proud Nork Academy of Magic, where dark magicians ravage you.As a sorcerer, we fight the darkness that targets both of us. ”

Having said that, Wallis looked straight at Eurog.

"This is our fight."

All the students behind Wallis nodded at the words.

"Guys."

Wendy jammed her voice.

"Thank you. I'm sorry."

That said, the words stopped going on.

"Don't cry, Wendy."

Nelson said in a bright voice.

"We all talked about it."If you don't look at other people, you can't beat them.Each one of us has to be prepared. "

Pillman nodded at the words.

That's right.

"Nelson's right."

Norish agreed with Nelson unusually.

"You can't say such things as being scared or not like that."Because my important classmates are being targeted for their lives. "

Norish said that and nodded, holding Lirty's shoulder.

We need to remind the people who lick us.

Raido said that and smiled, and the buyer nodded with a genuine face.

“Yeah, I'll show you next time.”

If someone is suffering in the shadows, it's not funny.

“That's right. If you're going to laugh, I want to laugh with the whole class.”

Curime answers Selaha's words.

We rarely get a chance to fight the Dark Mage, so we're not going to miss it.

Galain said in a torque voice.

"The torque said so."

That's what Deg said and he laughed.

"Thank you, guys."

Almark stood up and turned to his people.

"I'm so glad. I'm so glad."

Wendy nodded, lining up next to Almark.

"On purpose, for us. Even though it's before the exam."

"I talked to everybody, and I talked to everybody."

That's what Morgan said.

"I'm sorry for doing this on my own.But I also wanted to tell everyone. "

With that said, I turned my flushed face to the two of them.

"We're also a party."Everyone listened to me seriously. You know what I mean. "

Yeah.

Almark nodded.

"Thank you, Morgan."

Morgan nods like he's been illuminated.

I've been telling everyone else about it.

It was Leila who said that in a shameful voice.

"It's not for you guys."This is our own battle.So you don't have to thank us. ”

"... yes..."

Still, Layla smiled when she saw Almark say something.

"Thank you. If you're going to say anything, there's something else to say."

In response, Almark looks at Wendy.

Wendy's eyes filled with tears, after an instant of sarcasm.

The two looked at their companions.

"Guys."

Almark said.

"Fight with us."

The words are cheered up by the people.

"Head teacher, Irmis-sensei"

Wallis said.

"This is what we're going to do. Two in three years."

Say that, and show the people behind you with your hands.

Together, we fight the darkness.
