chapter 7
7 – Sorceress Interfering with the Truth
11 am. I looked at the situation at the lecture registration counter, which was empty for some reason, and frowned with a bit of doubt.
..Was the time wrong?

No one is here. Even if I check the clock, it’s 3 minutes short of 11 o’clock. Considering that the counter opened on time, it wasn’t strange that people had gathered by now. No, I had to.
But what is this? Did all the applications end without me knowing? Do I have to go begging for the rest of the lecture?
..No, if it really happened, I would just throw it all away and play.
Another minute has just passed. Yet no one no really what? did i hear wrong? What are you hypnotized?
and 11 o’clock. The counter opens and the female employee peeks out and is puzzled. Apparently I hadn’t misunderstood something.
“what?”
“hello.”
“Ah. Yes. Did you come to register for the class?”
“Yes.”
well, that’s pretty good The purpose of the application is to finish it quickly and go.
I took out the wooden plaques I wanted – they were hung as many as the number of people in the lecture – and brought them to the counter to complete the application.
And as soon as I walked away from the counter, people started pouring in.
I looked at the clock and it was 11:05. I wondered if I mistook the time for a group, but I didn’t have to think deeply, so I folded the timetable prepared at the counter and put it in my pocket before heading outside the academy.
Anyway, going outside is free and I had nothing to do today, so I planned to go outside.
The moment I stood right in front of the school gate, my body was drawn by an unknown force into the grass next door.
“What is it…Solar?”
What was waiting there was Al Sola, who had become a professor at the academy. Seeing that he was wearing a staff-only robe instead of the usual spotless white robe, he must have really become a professor.
“you you..”
As soon as Solar saw me, she trembled as if she was angry, but then grabbed me by the collar and said.
“Huh? What? Why?”
“Why didn’t you sign up for my lecture!?”
“Ah. I don’t want to learn magic.”
How are you not? don’t say This little archmage really knew everything.
At my sudden words, Solar loosened her grip on her collar. I didn’t feel any pressure to choke because I was a wizard, but I was grateful that he let go.
“..Why? You said magic was good. You said it was cool.”
“Ah. In the past?”
I felt something strange. If it was Solar’s ability, he would have been noticed?
“Didn’t you use your magic?”
in mana. A skill that allows you to sense the magical energy flowing through the opponent’s body.
When I mentioned that, Solar shook her head and gave out a slightly sad voice.
“..I wrote it. Rain was aware of it too.”
Solar said, ‘If it’s because of that…’, she rhymes.
“You can use magic even if you don’t have magic. If I tell you…”
“It’s okay. Your brain is too hard to learn, and I don’t think you’d want to teach someone with an empty brain.”
“No! Never… never!”
Solar, who was screaming, looked at me even as she said that. what. Was he originally like this? The person Solar I know was the type to push against the enemy even when he made a mistake.
“Anyway, I’m going to play? No. Since you’re a professor, you should use honorifics, right? I’m going to go play.”
So politely bowed my head and went out of the school gate. Solar seemed to stand there without saying anything.
I couldn’t see what that expression was like.

Your voice was not cold.

Nice voice to hear as always. But what he conveyed with that voice meant ‘I don’t need you anymore’.
I didn’t hate the moment of teaching you magic. At first, he complained about why he bothered to learn magic. But it wasn’t long before I bowed down to you and told you everything I knew about magic.
You couldn’t understand and learn everything because your natural talent was different from mine.
But it wasn’t a bad comprehension. You listened and applied everything I said and soon you started from scratch and you were working your magic.
The total amount of magic you possessed wasn’t very good. But should it be called hard work? At some point, your magic power bloomed like a flower and began to call out the sheep.
It was safe to say that it was an acquired talent. That’s how passionate you were about magic, and that’s how much you enjoyed learning magic from me.
And I didn’t know what happened to you when I met you again.
There was no power to be felt. I told Lane just in case, and she seemed to feel the same.
It is neither 1 nor decimal.
Just nothing.
It was that I couldn’t feel anything. Even a single weed on the street contains a small amount of magical power. I couldn’t help but wonder because all things in this world possessed magical power, no matter how small the amount.
But soon I realized that it was nothing. It’s important that I met you, and that mana is more important. This is the first time this has happened, but I can do it.
I’ll let you use the magic you love so much again.
With that meaning in mind, he invited me to ‘take my class’. But Ron didn’t apply.
I expected that students who heard of my fame would flock to it. However, secretly handing over the application plaque would risk being caught by the picky Lane and you might feel coercive, so I thought of another method.
After a long time, I recited a long sentence.
great magic.
A total of 853 sentences. Magic that interferes with the time axis, the truth of the world, stronger than in the last battle with the demon lord. I cast what no one living in the present generation has done.
only for you
I want to find a connection with the past by giving you my knowledge.
And that goal was not achieved.
After the magic was lifted, I looked at the rapidly spinning minute hand and looked at the place where you left.
why don’t you look at me
where are you looking
Is it my greed to want to be with you?
A lot of questions run through your head. The magical thinking that always spins in the corner of my head has now stopped moving. I feel like my brain is full of you.
only half a year. On the one hand, half a year.
I never heard of you, but I still can’t forget you, who gave me warmth.
“..It’s fine.”
As if to promise himself, he spat out the words to himself.
“It’s still time…”
I didn’t say ‘a lot’. Because you don’t know when you’ll leave
It might never appear in front of me again, showing an innocent expression without any intention—perhaps hiding the intention—as it did back then.
I tried to make an image by pretending to be noble, pretending to be for you, and pretending not to care.
But I couldn’t see your expression when you covered your eyes. Because he didn’t even have magic power, he couldn’t read the waves of flowing emotions.
So I was scared. because I don’t know what you’re thinking
I always thought I was right, but in this situation I couldn’t figure out what to do.
What would you do?
Fold your heart and fly freely Will you let go?
Or are you going to find out the reason somehow while sulking about why?
Or are you going to create an environment that depends only on me and monitor your every move?
Or even… Are you going to cut off his limbs and lock him up so he can’t escape again?
I’m still not sure
So for now, I’ll just observe.
I took out a ring-shaped magic tool from my pocket. A figure is reflected in the center of the ring. It was your look.
In order not to miss it now, I put a detection magic on it so that you won’t notice.
yes. To not miss it now…
