I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

36 – Master of the Magic Tower

“Hmm.”

The president of Arcana Academy.

Ender Arcana was in trouble.

It has already been more than three weeks since the unknown assailant attacked Arcana.

It made his head hurt that so far the culprit hadn’t been caught, but that wasn’t the only thing Ender had to worry about.

First of all, internal facility repairs such as the reorganization of the barriers have entered the final stage.

But if there was a problem, it was the progress of the class.

The assailant’s attack was obviously an important matter, but that didn’t mean we couldn’t continue class suspension.

How long do you take that vacation period?

To be honest, like Ender, he wanted to return to normal right away, but some students’ anxiety was still not washed away.

“To think something like this would happen in one’s later years.”

For Ender, who was about to retire as dean within five years, this incident was nothing short of a thunderbolt.

Of course, I wasn’t the type to go about things casually under the pretext of being late, but I always had the thought of wanting to end things peacefully.

But I never thought that the worst event of terrorism would happen at this time.

“Once the basic facility maintenance has been completed….”

All that was left was practically the reorganization of barrier magic.

That, too, was a problem as if it had been resolved because she, the disciple of Ender and the owner of the Mage Tower, would come in person tomorrow.

“Then let’s finish it next week.”

A total of one month’s total absence.

It was by no means a short time.

And it was also the maximum period that Ender could concede.

At this level, no one will be able to express their dissatisfaction.

“Dean. I got a call saying that Charlotte-sama will visit tomorrow at 11 am.”

“Okay.”

From each other’s point of view, it was a long time since we’ve seen each other.

Of course, we keep in touch, but seeing each other face-to-face after a year feels new.

But if you have one concern.

“I wish I didn’t make a case for nothing….”

Considering Charlotte’s personality, there was no way she could stay still.

The arcana is a storehouse of talent.

Still, as long as you come from a public position, there won’t be a big problem.

Ender thought so and put his worries to rest.

I believe that Charlotte has grown enough.

“Huh!”

Fists hit me from all sides.

It was practically impossible to block all of them with a sword, and it was best to avoid attacks by keeping distance.

First, I made a wall of dust by cutting the floor with Neia.

“Ah?!”

It was a very fleeting moment that I could cover my eyesight.

But that was enough.

After concentrating magic power on his legs, he immediately opened the distance and immediately took a stance.

If you force yourself to follow that speed, you will lose.

All I have to do is knock the balance off with one shot.

It was a battle between quantity and quality.

As soon as the wall of dust collapsed, I ran forward with all my might.

And the one behind it was Helen, who was waiting for me with a posture.

Damn it.

The number was read.

But it’s already too late to stop.

Now all that is left for each other is a single blow.

… I’m sure you’re thinking

I slowly relaxed my right hand.

Then the match was decided.

“… Lost.”

After the sparring as usual, I shared my impressions with Helen.

“Ah. I thought it was the beginning of a reversal, but it’s a pity.”

Helen had a disgruntled expression on her face.

The current record of Dalian is 19 wins and 11 losses in 30 matches.

That was also the situation in which Helen recently won three consecutive victories.

He must have wanted to raise this momentum.

“It was a great match today. Ike, Helen.”

The prince, who is always in charge of judging Dalian, handed us water.

We drank the water and walked under the shade of the trees.

“You both worked hard.”

There was a mat on the grass under the tree, and Atal, Reina, and Sofia were sitting on it.

Since when?

After Amarex’s attack.

Precisely after Reina and Sophia became friends, the 6 of us started hanging out together.

To be honest, it was a strange feeling.

If it was the original work, at this point, Sofia was someone only the Crown Prince could talk to.

Reina has always been living her life surrounded by her own admirers.

Of course, I didn’t mean that the current situation was bad, but I couldn’t help feeling a sense of alienation.

There seemed to be rumors going around that the crown prince had created a new faction, but it wasn’t really a problem to worry about.

“Come to think of it, I heard that classes will start again next week.”

“Is that so?”

It’s already been three weeks since Rex’s attack.

As this is a first-of-a-kind situation, my prediction that it would be completely closed for about a month was correct.

At the time of the Assassin’s raid, which should take place next year, Arcana had a month-long suspension.

“Oh, then.”

“Princess Ike, are you having any problems?”

At Sophia’s question, I shook my head, saying it was nothing.

I just remembered one fact.

Maybe tomorrow she will come.

In other words, it is the day when Sophia’s level up event begins.

The owner of the Magic Tower.

Sage. Charlotte Isolde comes to visit.

If knights have knights, wizards have magic towers.

Magicians who study all types of magic, from basic magic to elemental magic.

The Mage’s Tower, the Mage’s Tower, is the place to command them in general.

Anyone who can use attribute magic at a certain level or higher can belong to the Mage Tower.

However, the mages belonging to the Mage Tower are a little different from the knights dedicated to the Empire.

They move only to find the miraculous truth of magic, and in the meantime, there is only the development of the empire.

To put it simply, the Magic Tower is literally a gathering of strange species.

And the owner of the mage tower, Charlotte Isolde, was the best outlier among them.

Charlotte Isolde.

A wizard who can handle all the magic of the five attributes, the only two with the crown prince in the current empire.

On the other hand, the crown prince applied his talent to swordsmanship.

Charlotte used that talent only for magic.

She was the only disciple of the great mage Ender Arcana, and she was a genius who brought innovation to the mage tower by using her talent.

All of the attribute magic spell formulas used now were simplified once by Charlotte, and she developed new magic every year and distributed it to the empire.

In recognition of her achievements, she was treated practically equal to the duchy.

The person in question hated it, saying it was annoying.

Anyway, after the assassin’s attack, Charlotte comes to Arcana to reorganize the barrier magic.

Then she meets Sophia by chance, and she admires her talent.

As a result, Sophia is taken to the Mage Tower, and she takes one step closer as a saint.

“Hmm.”

Of course, Sofia had to keep getting stronger.

The most important thing in the fight against Avatar is her ability.

So meeting Charlotte was absolutely necessary.

Above all else, this episode is Sophia’s first step toward becoming a saint.

Without this incident, Sophia could not become a saint no matter what.

But one thing I am concerned about is that in the original version, this episode begins to some extent after Sophia’s talent has blossomed.

Could the current Sofia really fall in love with Charlotte?

“… I will have to do something.”

That was my only anxiety.

★

In the office, Ender and a woman were sitting facing each other.

“It’s been a while, Char.”

“Don’t call me that, Master. Not a kid I am already 25.”

“At that age, you are like a child to me.”

“… I hope you are old.”

She was an impressive woman with long sky-blue hair and gray eyes.

She was slightly frowning as if she disapproved of her own treatment.

“Is that the uniform of the Mage Tower? A lot has changed.”

“My personal outfit for going out. How can I go around wearing that cumbersome thing?”

The woman was wearing a suit with a white shirt and black pants.

Ender remembered the fact that she had been uncomfortable with the mage tower’s uniform decorated with many decorations from before.

“I always wore it when I was walking around, right?”

“… Aren’t you talking about that to students right now?”

“That can’t be. I am only doing it for you.”

The woman, Charlotte Isolde, sighed heavily.

He knows that some call him a freak, but compared to his mentor, Ender, he’s nothing short of normal.

No, in the first place, the fact that he is called a deviant must have been greatly influenced by Ender.

Charlotte wanted to believe that.

“Let’s go see barrier magic soon.”

“Would it be okay if I took a little rest?”

“I’ll finish first and rest.”

Charlotte drank the rest of her tea in one gulp and stood up.

“Okay.”

When she was first brought in, she was definitely the cutest kid in the world.

For some reason, Ender felt sad inside that her apprentice had grown cold.

“By the way, it’s about barrier magic, isn’t it okay to do it alone, Master?”

“Are you kidding me?”

“A little bit?”

The barriers currently in Arcana were installed by Charlotte when she graduated from Arcana six years ago.

With the magic of light as the center, this barrier was strengthened with the magic of earth and water, and Ender asserted that only Charlotte could touch it.

“Even though it was a long time ago, I thought it wouldn’t be easy to break through because it was a barrier made with great care.”

“That’s why it’s such a headache. That a person with that level of skill was aiming for Arcana.”

Unauthorized intruders are restricted from even breathing in Arcana.

However, according to the students of Attribute Magic, the assailant was not in that state at all.

It’s like an overwhelmingly powerful person who can ignore the barrier.

“… Is there a traitor inside?”

Of course, I thought Ender was more likely the former.

He had a fairly high position in the Magic Tower, but the professor was subdued in an instant, and there was nothing wrong with the barrier.

However, it was a problem that could not be decided yet.

If by any chance there is a traitor inside, I will severely punish you no matter what.

Ender quietly put the thought into his mind.

“I’m tired.”

“Thank you, Char.”

“Don’t call me that.”

After reorganizing the barriers, Charlotte and Ender moved back to the office.

The maintenance period has been increased from 5 years to 10 years, and the restrictions on intruders have become even stronger.

Also, in case of emergency, healing magic, protection magic, and strengthening magic are granted to people within the barrier.

Even if the intruder from last time came again, Charlotte assured that there would be no easy way out.

“Do you have macarons in your office?”

“I bought it in advance because you said you were coming.”

“As expected, there is only Master.”

“Only when necessary?”

“hehehe.”

Charlotte looked the other way as if she was a little embarrassed by that statement.

“… Wait a minute, Master.”

And there she is.

“Did you say that this year’s freshmen are the golden generation?”

“Yes.”

As if she saw something interesting, she smiled.
