Chapter 13 – 13. Deius’ Note
“I’m so busy I don’t have time to rest.”
Professor Keren, who was inspecting the lab, was quickly called back to the nurse’s office.
The reason is that students once again found themselves caught up in strange events within the academy.
About five students walking around in groups. And Erica and Gideon are comforting the five.
‘I thought you two went on a date or something.’
Karen entered the nurse’s office and immediately turned to the students whose faces were blue.
Most of them couldn’t speak properly and were shaking, but one of them was talking to Erica.
“Well, that’s why he suddenly offered to give me candy.”
“candy?”
“What a candy.”
As Keren and Gideon looked puzzled at the same time, Erica narrowed her eyes. She puts her index finger to the corner of the student’s mouth and warns him to be quiet and not interrupt him.
“This, the mouth. “She opened her mouth and handed us the eyeball, which was on her tongue.”
“… … .”
Bizarre and nonsensical testimony. However, the students were all afraid, recalling that time.
“Well, those were the old lady’s eyes! She didn’t have eyes for him! “Huh!”
In the end, Erica Bright hugs the student who couldn’t stop crying.
Although Karen cared for the students, she didn’t have the confidence to empathize and hug them in that way, so she just shrugged her shoulders and, as a school nurse, checked to see if there were any injuries.
‘There aren’t any wounds.’
Keren puts his hands in the pockets of his white robe and makes a strange breathing sound.
It would be nice to know what the intention was, but there was no real harm other than startling them, making them scared, or causing them to faint.
If I were to be specific, it would be a simple bruise from being startled and falling or hitting something.
After all the students calmed down, the three professors made eye contact and naturally came out of the nurse’s office.
Gideon, leaning in the hallway with his hands in his pockets, says there is nothing to see and gives his opinion.
“It’s a mass hallucination. “There must be a wizard hiding.”
“… … .”
“It’s premature.”
Erica remained silent and closed her eyes, and Keren openly denied it. It is still too early to confirm a decision.
However, Gideon said he did not understand and asked the two back.
“Then do you really think that is possible? “Her grandmother, who has both of her eyes gouged out, comes and gives her his own eyes in her mouth as her candy?”
Gideon scoffs, saying that it is even more absurd when he puts it into words.
“It makes no sense. While the students were tired, someone used hallucination magic on them. “There is no other way.”
“No traces of magic were found on any of the five people.”
Erica, the only wizard here, crossed her arms and denied it.
“Illusion magic also has different stages. “The more senses we deceive, the more traces we leave behind.”
For example, if it is a hallucination magic that only deceives the sense of sight, it surprisingly leaves little trace.
It might be difficult to deceive the other person, though.
“However, the five students expressed the situation at the time in detail. The sight of an old man with no eyes, a pleasant and musty smell, a voice telling him to eat candy, a wrinkled hand touching… … .”
“I even felt the sticky taste of the eyeballs I was given as candy in my mouth.”
Karen continues the uncomfortable conversation. Erica briefly made eye contact with Keren and nodded her head.
“you’re right. “If it is an illusion magic that deceives all five senses, it is bound to leave traces.”
But no trace was left. Feeling frustrated for no reason, Gideon raised his voice slightly and asked her back.
“So do you really mean that the kids saw such a being? “It seems like a more reasonable inference that a magician of great skill has infiltrated the academy.”
“… … .”
That was correct.
Therefore, the two could not answer separately.
A woman with light pink hair walks towards the end of the hallway in a situation where no proper opinion can be expressed due to frustration.
I tried to hide my curves by wearing a sweater, but men could not help but notice my chest that did not match my short stature.
The same was true for Gideon.
‘hmm?’
Seeing Erica not paying attention at all, Keren felt puzzled once again. Are these two really dating?
“Professor Per. “Are you feeling okay now?”
“Yeah! “Gwae, it’s okay!”
The woman who came was Professor Per, who had been appointed just a few days ago.
He was also the first victim of this incident.
When Erica approaches softly, Per bows his head. She troubles not only Erica, but also Keren and Gideon at one time or another.
“Oh, hello. This is Per Petra. I recently took on a new professorship. Please take care of me.”
Rather than not being able to read the mood, I read it too much and ended up saying something unnecessary.
Gideon and Keren just raised their hands and were greeted briefly.
Per, perhaps thinking he had made a mistake, took out a letter from his arms.
Old-fashioned blue stationery.
There was a seal there that Erica knew all too well.
“Verdi?”
Seal of the Verdi family.
So, it meant that it was a letter left behind by Deius Verdi.
“Well, when I woke up, this was lying on the bed in my room. “I was so scared that I quickly brought it.”
“Are you saying there was a letter that wasn’t there yesterday?”
“Yes, four!”

Erica’s frown deepened. She glances at Gideon and Keren behind her.
“Let me see.”
Keren approaches me in frustration and snatches the letter. Erica, a former mercenary and wizard, could not react to the swordsman’s movements.
“Wow, the mountains and tigers that represent North Wales. “Is this really the Verdi family crest?”
“Verdi?”
Gideon, too, seemed to be interested and came right over. A letter that suddenly appeared.
The one who left it was his predecessor, Deius Verdi.
“Can I read it?”
“Oh, yes!”
After receiving consent from Professor Per, who received the letter, Keren immediately opened the letter and opened it.
Gideon and Erica cling to either side of her and check the contents together.
The letter was written in an old-fashioned style using a quill pen and cursive.
[Precautions when using the laboratory.]
1. Remove the full-length mirror.
2. Do not make loud noises.
3. Don’t run around.
4. Don’t talk to yourself when no one is around.
5. If someone talks to you while you are talking to yourself, ignore it.
6. Leave the laboratory by evening if possible.
7. If someone knocks on your window, ignore it.
9. If a woman all in black suddenly opens the door and comes in, hide under the desk, close your eyes, cover your ears, and hold your breath.
10. If there is a number missing from this letter, burn the letter immediately.
“… … uh?”
Even Professor Keren, who had experienced many hardships while working as a mercenary, could not help but be embarrassed.
I wondered if this was some kind of malicious letter.
“Missing number? No. 8, isn’t there?”
Professor Gideon, who was next to me, muttered as if he had read it all too late. And then, at a late tempo, he smiles brightly.
“Hahaha! Professor Deius is wittier than you think? Are you playing pranks like this?”
A forced, distorted smile.
Erica Bright bit her lip, snatched the letter, and burned it.
“Did you see him joking?”
Even my fiancée, myself, was not able to see her smile until the last day of leaving the academy.
A letter that burned and disappeared in the air.
Keren quenched his appetite, wondering if he had burned it too hastily.
The letter’s ashes did not fly away or sink to the floor, but seemed to float in the air, waiting for something.
“… … This.”
Karen, who noticed right away, looked at Erica and saw that she was already blowing mana into the ashes.
The ashes begin to move and create letters.
[If there is something special about the letter, it means that not only the lab, but the entire academy has already fallen into their hands.]
“They?”
Gideon sounded puzzled, but the rest paid attention to the contents of the letter.
[It is difficult to predict what situation would have unfolded, but I leave a method to calm the commotion in the third drawer of the desk I was using.]
“… … !”
[Just have mercy.]
There were no more messages in the pile of ashes that fell.
That’s why Keren ran out before anyone else. The lab has already checked everything.
In that case, what remains is the room Deius used.
“mercy… … ?”
Behind him, Professor Per was pondering his last words with a blank expression on his face, but Gideon and Erica were already following after Keren.
“Do you know the number of the room Professor Deius used?!”
Gideon responds by saying that Keren’s cries are absurd.
“Are you running without even knowing that? Faculty dormitory room 404! “This is the last room!”
Three people rushed in. Karen broke the locked door and entered.
A lonely room left with only basic furniture left.
When I opened the desk drawer, there was indeed a small note lying there.
“As expected, Professor Deius knew something!”
“What did this professor do?”
Keren and Gideon are happy that their troublesome problem has been resolved.
Only Erica kept her lips pursed and did not say anything.
fluttering.
When I opened the notebook, I saw that it was filled with letters written in Deius’ handwriting.
[One. About the girl who appeared in the lab.]
“Is this the girl that Professor Per saw?”
Professor Per was the last to catch up, panting. Every time he catches his breath, his voluptuous chest bounces around in a disturbing way.
The moment I was about to continue reading.
[found.]
At the same time, the girl’s voice echoed throughout the room.
Grumble!
The note left by Professor Deius burns up.
“what!”
In order to quickly put out the fire, he threw it on the floor and stomped on it with his feet, but instead of getting weaker, the flame only got stronger.
“Get out of the way!”
Water droplets came out from Erica’s palm and put out the flames.
The note had already disappeared without a trace.
