16 – Wizard confirmed hidden

“theory.”

“Huh? ..Solar?”

After seeing the red-haired kid who quietly called my name, I looked around and reacted like that. I don’t really care about myself, but if I get caught calling Solar by name only, I’ll be impaled and publicly executed. clearly.

“..theory.”

“ok?”

“What happened to you and Lane Guardon?”

What happened. Having said that, there was work. I didn’t have anything to hide anyway, so I just answered.

“We went to the labyrinth together.. Ah, Lane was paralyzed because he couldn’t concentrate. He cured that.”

“..theory.”

It was then that I felt something strange. It was as if a low-pitched voice was roaring through me. For some reason, I got chills and shivered slightly.

“theory.”

Solar kept calling only my name. As if hoping for an answer from me.

I can’t see her expression, so I don’t know what exactly she’s feeling. But at least he was able to recognize that the magic wave was spinning suspiciously.

Her vast magical power, which Solar had not been able to capture, was flying like a spark.

“-.. ..- – – -… ..”

brig. Overlapping pronunciations and sentences that I can’t understand with my head.

Solar, who was simultaneously pronouncing several words, reached out her hand slightly to me after finishing the chant. Ordered mana emanates from the tiny fingertips and takes on a new shape.

Thanks to the sunlight, my eyes, which were a little bright, become dark for a moment.

A light shone in my vision along with an unpleasant sensation. I looked around, but it was not a space I knew.

Aside from the fact that there are places I still don’t know about after traveling all over the continent, the atmosphere gives me goose bumps even when I’m still.

Somehow I don’t know

“theory.”

voice.

I hear Solar’s voice.

The voice echoes in the closed room.

That voice, emotionless and plain,

For some reason, it was a little… No, it was very scary.

“Hey… what is this…”

“Sorry.”

The apology that came back was also without emotion. For some reason, it felt like he was apologizing not for what had already happened, but for what would happen in the future.

“theory.”

name again.

Didn’t answer. Couldn’t. That negative wave, the flow of magical power that bounced in all directions made me shut my mouth.

Solar came to me without saying more.

My body didn’t move. I couldn’t even lift a finger to see if they were restraining me with magic.

So I couldn’t help but feel the touch of her coming over and touching my face.

She touched my face slowly, as if touching her prized chinaware, and brought her hand to the knot of a tight bandage.

“Hey.”

I said a little urgently with the meaning that I couldn’t do more than that, but there was no answer coming back.

It seemed that he had already made up his mind.

why? I thought about it, but I can’t come up with a reason for Sola to act like this. Al Solara in my memory was a mess in my head because of how different he is now from humans.

I would have to reveal it anyway, but at least in this situation, I felt a bit reluctant to forcefully reveal it.

But my thoughts do not reach Solar.

The knot is untied. The tight pressure gradually loosens, and the edge of the blurred vision that only glimpsed the shape begins to become clear.

Al Sola is seen. It was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.

The bright red hair was the same.

The height is probably not that big.

However, the pupil was completely black, as if looking into the abyss. I see eyes that do not reflect anything.

Solar looks at me. The bandages that were tightly wrapped, me.

I thought I might show a little disgust, but at the same time I reflected in Solar’s eyes staring at me, her black pupils began to glow. Then, tears began to well up in those big eyes.

It wasn’t the reaction I expected, but somehow I was able to react calmly.

“..you.”

“Can you return the bandage?”

“..what happened.. why..”

He didn’t answer her words, which were less than a sentence and only asked why.

I couldn’t help but see it, but I had no intention of hiding it. As I said before, I was just a little anxious about revealing it yet.

“That… Hey, I’m sorry. I…”

“You don’t have to be sorry.”

He interrupted her with a blunt remark. As she said, Solar did nothing wrong. No, not everyone did anything wrong in the first place.

My bare face that was wrapped up like that was a bit shocking, so I stroked my face with that little hand while memorizing a healing magic incantation that I couldn’t even use because I had no holy power.

“Why… why… why not…”

Solar’s sobs filled the wide, empty room. However, in my personal circumstances, there was no reason for them to be sad.

I picked up the bandage with my moving arm again and tied it tightly around my eyes again. I felt a little bit of stability in the blurred vision again.

“Where are you going to spread rumors?”

“why..”

“Isn’t there something to brag about?”

At my words, Solar shut her mouth. Solar didn’t answer, but nodded. She glanced at me as I was about to leave, then bowed her head and approached me.

“Why are you trying to avoid me?”

“No, it’s not… it’s not. I’ll tell you later.”

I’m not ready yet. If I said that, I felt like I would never be able to get out of myself again.

I withheld my answer because I didn’t want to admit to myself that I was ugly enough to be jealous of those I considered my colleagues.

There was no further conversation. Solar was still dazed on the spot.

I opened the door to the only entrance and came out. It was somewhere in an alley in Hidin that I didn’t know much about.

It’ll be annoying if I get caught hanging around outside again. Let’s return to the academy as soon as possible.

I turned my foot for a quick comeback. And at the same time, the voice of an arrogant man was heard.

“Ha. hahahaha! As expected, rotten shoots still rot! Look, senpai! Even though I warned you, aren’t you hanging around outside again!”

Prion Coulson.. was it? Prion, who happened to bump into me after coming out of the alley, said as if he was appealing to someone next to him, as if it was just fine.

The silhouette of the ponytail on the side. Probably a senior from the leadership team. Anyway, I bowed my head with the thought of meekly apologizing and returning.

“Sorry. Some circumstances…”

“What’s the matter? Isn’t it prostitution because it came out of the alley?”

To put it bluntly, I had a deep conversation with the academy’s professor and archmage, Solar.

But even if I said it, I don’t think anyone would believe it, and I didn’t say it because I thought it would create bad rumors that Solar and I were just the two of us talking in an alley.

“..Really?”

And the senior next to him – according to Prion – said so.

“100%. This bandage is still there!”

Prion put a choo imsae like that, but the senior didn’t care about what he said and asked for my opinion.

“Nope.”

I said no, but I don’t really have any excuses. If you ask further, there is nothing more to say. At that time, he has no choice but to become a bandaged man who prostitutes himself.

“Hmm. I see. Got it.”

“No, senpai!! My words..”

“Listen up, Prion Coulson. I didn’t approve of you for being so arrogant. It’s your bad habit of judging people based on their appearance and trying to share a class with yourself. I’ll correct you.”

After saying that, the senior grabbed Prion by the neck and headed to the academy.

The appearance of the two noisy people seemed to have eased the uncomfortable feeling a little before. But, well, it’s impossible to hide it all the time, so I think it’s better to calm down.
