Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

For some time afterwards, elementary school students were barred from entering the forest. Instead of going to the woods to harvest medicinal herbs for healing, I decided to use those grown in Dr. Celia's herbal garden.

Rumor soon spread that a large investigation team had entered the woods. Over the course of a few days, some smoke rising from the depths of the forest was also seen through the dorm window, and students rumored what smoke it was and whether teachers and seniors were fighting monsters.

Later, the ban on entering the forest was lifted. The primary school students had no explanation of what the investigation team saw in the forest, how many monsters there were, and what measures they had taken.

However, I was instructed not to go deep into the forest, as the forest is safe anymore.

Primary school students quickly regained their daily peace as they began to enter the woods as before.

Even Eldo, who had been exposed to the monster, was fortunate to have used up all his magic and lost consciousness. He could hardly remember anything, and his mental shock was small. As always, she and Sicily are grateful for Almark's advice.

When Almark and Torque recovered the junior students from the monster, they temporarily became the people of time, and the classmates of course asked about the situation. However, neither Almark nor Torque were injured separately, and they did not say that they had defeated the monster, so they gradually took an interest in the matter because they had little to say about it.

As for Almark, he was not proud to have defeated a monster of the order of Jalanon. Rather, he thought that he had struggled unexpectedly.

When it came to torque, I was in a mood to fight monsters in cooperation with Almark, and if anyone listened to me, I was in a mood to do something about it.

Very naturally, with the lifting of the ban on entering the forest, the two of them disappeared.

Summer is approaching.

What everyone's talking about these days is how to spend the summer vacation right now.

Most students spend nearly two months off long enough to return to their parents.

Speaking of magician's eggs, they're all very old children. It's only natural that you want to go back to your parents who live in a boarding college and have been separated for a long time.

"It's amazing. On the first day off, everyone's parents come to pick us up. Noble children come to pick up a lot of servants on behalf of their parents."

Break time in the classroom. The wind coming in through the window is pleasant.

Morgan puts his cheek on and looks out the window.

Hmm.

I'm not very interested in Almark.

It's already been a few months since I joined this college.

I'm still only meditating on magic.

Ilumis told me not to, and I know that, but when I saw the magic of my classmates in the magic practice class improving rapidly, I wondered what I was doing.

It can be seen that no one can succeed in stone carving in one go, and the class itself is gradually shifting to advanced magic.

Some people are voluntarily challenging more advanced magic, like Norish's wind messenger. The magic of torque in the Jalanon incident was also amazing.

While listening to Morgan, Almark realizes that he is unconsciously creating a mental state of meditation. It feels like the magic inside my body is blurring and twisting with my heart's fingers.

"Hey, Almark, are you there?"

Return to me in Morgan's words.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Um"

"That's why I've been asking you what you're going to do for summer vacation."

"Summer vacation..."

Almark smiled bitterly.

"If you go back north, the next time you come back to school is a year early. I don't know where my father is right now, and I don't have anywhere to go."

Bye.

Morgan brightens his face.

"I've been in the dorm forever."

"That's the only way."

Saying so, I don't know why Morgan is happy. I can't see the flow of the story.

"I did it. I'm not alone."

"Huh?

"I thought I was the only one who wasn't coming home for summer vacation in my class. I thought I'd do something for almost two months. But I'm glad you're staying."

What are you talking about? Almark looked stunned.

"Having said that, I have to train in meditation every day to catch up with you. I can't go out with you that much every day."

and stab the nail. But Morgan...

"I know that. But I just thought I wasn't alone, so I felt different."

And do not hide joy. Amazingly, Almark decides to ask why Morgan is not coming home.
