Episode 81. Lunav Rainriver (4)
A total of six people.
There is no sense of running away or hiding somewhere.
Since confirmation came first before processing, I hurriedly approached the carriage.
[I thought I would save at least one more person. If you were going to kill them all, what did you wear the mask for?]
Did you write it because you wanted to write it as me?
Even though it was said to be under a sleep spell, I thought he would be awake by now, so I used it in a hurry.
But,
“… … ?”
I didn’t know you were still sleeping.
I placed my hand on her face just in case.
“… … .”
I fell asleep so soundly that I didn’t even know who was carrying me.
Is it safe to say that I stayed up all night for a few nights to begin with?
It felt like I was getting the deep sleep I had never had before.
Even though the restraints on her hands and feet and the gag on her mouth were removed, she did not even move a muscle until the end.
“after… … .”
So, I took off my mask and exhaled my pent-up breath.
However, there is no time to sit leisurely and look at her sleeping face.
Let’s just do what needs to be done quickly and then go back.
I picked up Lunav’s body and laid it down neatly.
She then undid the top two buttons of her shirt to expose her cleavage.
Then he placed his finger on it and closed his eyes.
-Wooow.
The 6-star general magic ‘Searching’ was cast.
A magic that checks the target’s physical condition by injecting mana into the opponent’s body.
You can think of it as an upgraded magic of the ability she used to check my body grade.
For me, it was the first time I had used magic in a long time.
“… … .”
I feel it.
The energy of mana flowing throughout her body along with the blood.
However, it was not flowing actively.
As mentioned earlier, something of an unpleasant energy is preventing the complete flow.
It was as if a chain had been wrapped around the blood vessels.
“This was it.”
With something like this taking over my body, of course I can’t live up to my name.
After confirming the identity of the energy, I immediately opened my eyes.
[why? What was there?]
“Heart curve… … .”
[Heart what?]
Kayram tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
You have no choice but to not know.
This can be said to be one of the proud research achievements of magic-crazed humans.
“To put it simply, it is a device that suppresses human growth.”
An artifact that suppresses the growth of magical power by injecting a lump of magical energy the same size as the target’s heart.
As if tangled with vines, dull black stems were tangled around her beating heart.
[Suppressing growth?]
She probably thinks it doesn’t make sense.
Clearly, President Regens has a firm goal of raising his granddaughter to the pinnacle of magic.
To this end, she would have been put into various experiments as if she were an experimental subject, spurring the development of her magical abilities.
What a deterrent to her that came out of nowhere.
It’s okay to curse and say what kind of bullshit it is.
The funny thing is that the entity that put up this artifact is most likely none other than the Garam Society.
[Who planted this?]
“Of course it’s a conference.”
[For what?]
I think they probably intended to use this for storage, not deterrence.
There is no problem as long as you keep the river flowing gently.
However, what would happen if the flow was blocked and suppressed at some point?
As the natural flow itself cannot be stopped, river water that cannot flow will gradually accumulate and increase.
And then at some point, what happens when it is released?
It will grow like an explosion.
The aftermath of a moment will cause chaos in the surrounding area.
The Garam Society probably wanted this.
An artifact called Heart Curve suppresses the flow and growth of her mana.
Mana continues to be injected into this unstable body.
When the state reaches its peak, the suppressor is released, causing the potential that had been built up to explode.
Is it possible?

well? I don’t know because I haven’t tried it.
However, I clearly know what they must have done to make this happen.
They must have tried to apply the most appropriate route to her after dozens or hundreds of human experiments.
Perhaps Lunav in her previous life couldn’t endure this and died.
Strictly speaking, this was not an attempt to raise the bowl, but rather an act of breaking the bowl.
Kayram had a puzzled expression on his face, as if it was quite difficult to understand.
[Anyway, if we keep this up, she will eventually die, right?]
“yes.”
[Then what are you going to do with this?]
I haven’t decided on that yet.
In fact, the content of the mental reception that Kayram had told me had nothing to do with this.
It’s just that a faction opposing the Garam Society heard of her going out without permission and tried to kidnap her by disguising themselves as members of the society.
It was a plot to take them to their hideout somewhere in the Garam Kingdom and experiment on them according to their tastes.
I think that by now, the real members of the academy have realized the truth and are belatedly coming forward.
Then what was the reason you helped Lunav?
Nothing special.
If you knew this and ignored it, the aftermath that would come was just quite annoying.
Anyway, he was kidnapped right after meeting me, so it would be natural for the arrow to come back to me.
If you just clean it up properly and leave it safe, nothing will change.
Okay, my job is done, now I just have to go… … .
“Ugh… … .”
I sighed without realizing it.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have come in the first place.
I once again manifested mana in one hand.
-Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss
Below the left chest, between the sternum and spine.
Like putting your hand into water,
My mana-filled hand was sucked into her heart.
-Too-duk-duk
It’s a lot tougher than I thought.
As if ripping off vines tangled in a tree, the black stem surrounding the heart was roughly torn off.
-Hwareuk
The torn off debris was burned and destroyed on the spot.
The core of the artifact that was still attached to the end was completely removed and destroyed, and the heart that regained vitality began to pulsate.
[Do you know where the person who said he was not a savior has gone?]
Kayram was mocking me and looking at me with quite amusement.
I said it casually.
“I just gave you a way. “There is nothing else.”
Now that the heart curve is gone, her lifespan has been greatly extended.
You may not know it right away, but you will gradually feel it yourself, that your body has changed.
Then, a change in mind will occur naturally.
What can you do with your extended lifespan and possibilities?
Will you continue to cut yourself off after being trapped within the fence of the academic world, or will you break through the fence and take a different path?
The rest is entirely up to her.
You never know.
If you explore your own potential, you may be able to truly fulfill the president’s wish of reaching the pinnacle of magic.
Just because a sprout sprouts, no one knows whether it will become a flower or a tree.
* * *
“… … !”
Lunav woke up and was breathing heavily as if he had had a nightmare.
The heart that I touched without realizing it.
But I didn’t feel uncomfortable.
In fact, compared to before I went to sleep, I felt very relaxed.
After a short period of dazing, Lunav finally looked around.
Luggage was piled up in a mess, and a cold wind blew from one side.
The moment I immediately assumed I was inside the carriage and was about to get out.
“hmm?”
Eventually, part of the outer space was shaking as if water droplets had fallen.
“Barrier?”
It was a limiting barrier created by magic.
Lunav lightly glanced at the barrier with curious eyes, as if drawn to it.
-Tiing
The barrier bounced like a wave and immediately disappeared.
At this, Lunav carefully came out.
“found!”
At the same time, urgent shouts and footsteps were heard towards him.
When I narrowed my eyes and looked closely, I saw members of the academy with familiar faces.
“Are you okay, Lunav?”
They made every effort to check on her safety.
Lunav responded with a somewhat bewildered expression.
“For now, that’s it.”
“Do you remember what happened?”
Her last memory was of faceless watchers casting a sleeping spell on her and putting her to sleep.
I had no memories of that time, and when I literally opened my eyes, I woke up in an unfamiliar carriage, so there was nothing I could say about what had happened.
“Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe! I will explain as I go, so would you please join me for now? “The president of the society is waiting for you!”
“… … all right.”
It was the same situation as before I fell asleep, but I didn’t have any doubts.
While boarding the carriage and being escorted by the academy members, Runab continuously checked her condition.
I feel like something that was holding me inside has completely disappeared.
A strange feeling of refreshment that I had never felt before.
At the same time, it felt like something else unfamiliar was inside me.
This did not feel like something was suppressing or gnawing away, but rather it felt like a kind of protective measure to protect oneself.
“Is your grandfather very angry?”
The academy member could not easily answer Lunav’s question.
“Well, I think it’ll be okay if you explain why you’re going out! First of all, it’s important that you’re safe… … .”
She knew full well that that couldn’t be possible.
Although I would receive a harsh scolding when I returned, I wasn’t really afraid.
It seems like something new that never existed before is protecting her… … .
This was a feeling that came from relief, not liberation.
* * *
The scene was cleaned up neatly, and my alibi was clearly created through illusion magic.
A barrier has been installed around the carriage just in case something happens, so unless a sandstorm passes by, there won’t be any trouble.
In other words, no one would know that I was there.
However, as soon as I returned, someone who could not fool a ghost came into the room and interrogated me.
“I guess you felt really itchy while I was gone?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about… … .”
The head of the Silica family stared at my face with eyes full of suspicion.
“You know what happened to Lunav, right?”
“of course. When I brought the bathroom, it was gone. “I didn’t know you were kidnapped.”
I played it off with a straight face.
The kidnapping incident had already become public knowledge within the academy.
“The academy’s magic instructor named Nella Aronis has gone missing. She has just taken office and is a woman from Garam Kingdom. According to recently received information, she was a member of the opposition party that does not support the Garam Society.”
He was probably referring to the gray-robed woman I killed first.
“Then it seems she spread Lunav’s information to her forces. “I think her quick trip to the bathroom was a godsend.”
My attitude was the same throughout.
“Are you sure you have nothing to do with this?”
I answered without hesitation.
“I can assure you.”
I don’t know what to do.
[…] … .]
Kayram was looking at me and the head of the family with a rather displeased expression.
It’s like he’s a very dissatisfied person who wants to talk about something but has nothing to say.
Since he was an accomplice in the first place, he wouldn’t have anything to say.
“Still, I thought you would be very tired because of the banquet incident, but it seems you weren’t. “Looking at your face, you look very itchy.”
Not at all.
“Anyway, there’s some time left until the start of next semester, so I’ll give you a solo project.”
I couldn’t believe my ears.
“You mean solo work?”
Without saying a word, she took out a black envelope from her pocket and handed it to me.
“haha… … .”
When I opened the envelope, all I could do was laugh out loud.
