Academy’s Second Seat

“what?”

Luna looked around with a puzzled expression.

Upon entering the hut, I saw the inside of a really ordinary house.

An ordinary house with a kitchen and a dining table.

However, it was messed up like an abandoned house.

The shelves in the kitchen were lined with webs and mice were running around, and the table was broken and pieces of wood were rolling around.

“Rudy… … ?”

Luna carefully looked inside the hut.

I looked around a bit, but couldn’t see anything.

“Is there such a thing as a secret passage?”

At a glance, I didn’t see anything.

So how do you find it?

Luna knew how to do this.

Luna is about 10 years old.

The prankster time.

I figured out how to find things that people have hidden.

“Wind Cutter!”

bang!

“Wind Blast!”

Aww!

The only way is to destroy them all.

If you break it down, you will find the answer.

If there is an item in the deepest part of the basket, it was easier to find it by turning the basket over rather than taking out the items one by one.

While messing around the house like that.

“uh?”

The bed was shattered by the random flying magic, and I could see that there was a hole under it.

Luna smiled.

It was a very decent place.

“Rudy… … !”

Luna quickly removed the bed and looked down.

I looked through the hole and saw a stone staircase.

“ignition!”

Luna used ignition magic to illuminate the inside.

I shone the light with magic, but I couldn’t see it all the way to the bottom.

“First… … Shall we go?”

Luna was a little afraid, but she had no choice but to go down.

So, with the ignition magic, it illuminates the bottom and proceeds forward.

As Luna was going down little by little, she felt a little strange.

Pick!

“uh?”

Suddenly the ignition magic went out with a small sound.

“Hey, why is this?”

Luna panicked and tried to use magic again, but nothing changed.

“Hey, Ignite!”

Pick!

Even if I tried the magic again, it didn’t change much.

“Ugh… … .”

dark stairs.

He couldn’t see an inch ahead.

In such a place, even magic was not used, so fear came to me.

Luna brought one hand to her chest and the other to the wall and began to carefully descend the stairs.

“───.”

Then, a small sound began to be heard by Luna.

“ah… … ?”

It sounded like a human voice.

Luna remembered Maguire’s words.

Obviously, no one is here… … .

I heard there was no one but Rudy.

But why do we hear human voices?

Luna was crying.

“who… … Who is it?”

Luna said cautiously.

read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

But it was so frightening that his voice did not come out properly.

“If you do that ───!”

Then a louder voice was heard.

A voice as if talking to someone.

‘How can we talk… … .’

Even if this is Rudy’s voice, Rudy has no one to talk to.

No one else is here.

no way… … .

Luna thought.

It’s been about four days since Rudy disappeared.

It was as if I had heard that people would lose their minds when they were alone in such a dark space.

You need to see the light and meet some people to maintain the human spirit.

However, this environment right now is a very poor situation where you can’t see anything.

Because it’s underground, it smells damp and musty.

then.

Luna was startled by that thought and started going down.

“Lu, Rudy! Rudy!”

Luna quickly went down the stairs.

Then, the human voice became clearer and clearer.

It was clear that it was Rudy’s voice.

“no! Because the rules are not like that!”

rule?

I didn’t quite understand what was being said.

Again, a sound was heard.

“So! The process is fun! The process of overcoming that opponent!”

Say something angry.

Luna burst into tears when she heard Rudy’s voice.

Rudy… … ! Rudy… … !!!

Luna quickly went down the stairs.

Then, suddenly, there was an ordinary floor, not a staircase.

“Hey!!!!”

Luna suddenly crossed her feet on the flat floor.

As my feet crossed, I lost my balance and fell to the floor.

“Ouch… … hurt… … .”

Luna stood up and looked at the vital hand.

“Luna… … ?”

Then Rudy’s voice was heard.

Luna’s eyes adapted to the darkness, and she was able to see the shapes around her.

“Rudy!!”

Rudy was locked in a cage.

And he sat in his seat in a state more than expected.

“… … to?”

But what he was doing was strange.

He held a small stone in his hand and wrote something on the floor as if writing letters.

Write down your score as if you were playing a game… … .

“Lu, Rudy… … .”

Luna saw it and cried.

“Sorry… … !!! I should have come earlier!!!! eww… … !!!”

With tears in her eyes, Luna approached the iron cage.

When Rudy saw Luna like that, she had a puzzled face.

“Lu, Luna! why all of a sudden! Calm down!”

“Ugh… … I’m sorry Rudy… … .”

“No, what are you talking about all of a sudden!”

Rudy was locked in a cage and couldn’t comfort her, but only made a bewildered expression.

“So this is numbers baseball.”

[baseball? What is it?]

“Oh, the name is not that important.”

I was getting ready to play with Priscilla.

Luckily, I picked up a small rock on the floor and came up with a few things to play with.

At first, I just chatted with Priscilla, but chatting was also limited to some extent.

“So write the numbers here… … .”

I slowly started explaining the rules of the game to Priscilla.

However, the words I heard were unexpected.

[Why are you doing that?]

“Well? Is it just for fun?”

[Are humans funny like that? Then why not let us know each other’s answers from the beginning? Then you can do a lot of fun things quickly.]

I was taken aback by Priscilla’s words.

First I spoke slowly to convince Priscilla.

“If you do that, you can’t decide whether to win or lose. It’s fun to beat your opponent.”

[okay? Then I will tell you only my answer. Even if I win, I don’t think I’ll have much fun.]

“no! Because the rules are not like that!”

I began to feel the difference between spirits and humans.

[Huh, what a troublesome guy.]

I got excited about Priscilla’s reaction, so I continued explaining.

“So! The process is fun! The process of overcoming that opponent!”

[her… … Oh yeah.]

No, why don’t you understand?

Then suddenly another sound was heard.

The sound of footsteps like something urgent.

It was the sound of going down the stairs quickly.

Is someone else coming?

I immediately stopped what I was saying and looked towards the stairs.

Then I saw a figure of a person coming down the stairs quickly.

“Hey!”

The man quickly descended the stairs, but stumbled on the last step and flopped to the floor.

I looked carefully at the man’s face and clothes.

That person was a very welcome face.

“Luna… … ?”

“Rudy!!!”

Luna suddenly burst into tears.

“Sorry… … !!! I should have come earlier!!!! eww… … !!!”

“Lu, Luna! why all of a sudden! Calm down!”

… … After such a commotion for a while.

I explained my situation to Luna, and I also understood Luna’s situation.

“Ahaha… … Is it Priscilla? You were talking to that spirit… … .”

Luna turned her head shyly and smiled awkwardly.

“okay… … For fear of such a reaction, I hadn’t talked to him in other places… … .”

[Humans care about all sorts of strange things.]

“The spirits are strange.”

I frowned at Priscilla’s words and said.

“uh?”

Then Luna tilted her head and looked at me.

“Oh, no. Priscilla spoke again.”

“Oh~.”

Luna nodded her head.

“For now, I’ll get you out of there!”

Luna said so and stretched out her hand towards the iron fence.

“Wind Cutter!”

Fish… … .

It sounded like the wind was blowing out of a balloon.

The blade of the wind didn’t fly from Luna’s hand, only the sound of a weak wind.

“after… … .”

“to?”

Luna had a puzzled expression on her face.

I opened my mouth looking at Luna like that.

“Luna, listen. You can’t use magic here.”

“The magic… … ? Oh by the way, when I came down… … .”

Luna clapped her hands as if realizing something.

“then… … How do I get out of here?”

Luna looked at me and said.

“Actually, it’s best to bring something outside that can cut this cage… … .”

However, it was practically a non-existent option.

In this world, when cutting iron like this, cutting it with magic was the most efficient way.

So it will take a long time to get a tool that can cut this iron spear.

There was no time to wait for it now.

According to Luna, Professor Maguire is holding Ian outside right now.

I had to get out quickly.

“… … Luna, that… … .”

I’m stuck here and I’ve been thinking about how to get out on my own.

After contemplating the method with Priscilla, I came to a conclusion.

The conclusion is that you can run Priscilla into a runaway.

Runaway is a state in which mana, which has no form, comes out at random.

As a result, Priscilla could be used irrespective of the peculiarity of this room to destroy the magical shape.

Of course, the problem was that if I did that, I would be ruined.

“Perhaps… … A magic circle that calms the mind… … How far has it been?”

“uh?”

To be honest, that was a very silly question.

It was rude to that person to ask how much was completed in two weeks.

However, I asked, believing in Luna’s potential.

“It was completed to some extent… … .”

Luna was speechless as she said that.

“There are a few things that need to be corrected. When I came here, I got help from Professor Maguire, but… … .”

Luna looked at me as she said that.

“here… … Will you try?”

I looked at Luna.

“I said. It’s going to explode anyway.”

I thought a lot from before that until I was alone.

The runaway of the spirit is something that will happen anyway.

However, I was wondering if it would be okay if I intentionally explode in the first place.

The fact that the spirits run rampant is determined by the words of the saint, so the future of the runaway spirits doesn’t change.

But, how to change this future.

If I did it myself, wouldn’t it happen after that?

I thought so.

Originally, Lie and Luna were going to experiment when they both created the magic circle, but now there is no time for that.

“Luna, can you make it as soon as possible now?”

Luna pondered for a moment at my question.

Then he lifted his head and looked at me with straight eyes.

“I’ll try, Rudy.”

Luna said in a confident voice.
