Volume 10, Chapter 5: Trying Out Preventing the Ritual – Part 1

The next day, January 10──

The Magic Academy was enveloped in a restless atmosphere that it never had before.

“It seems that the president has gone missing”

The story from the High School section spread in a flash, ad there was no one that didn’t know about it by noon.

All of the lectures became self-study, and for the sake of an emergency meeting, none of the teachers came out from the staff building.

Even the students of the Middle School Section First Year Class F couldn’t calm down.

Everyone harbored anxiety, and the classroom was in chaos with those that put that anxiety into words, those that instead tried to laugh it off, and those who just got angry.

In a corner, Horun had kept silent.

「Kuh……」

She was fully aware that her own failure had invited her current situation.

When it became the lunch break, the homeroom female teacher came along.

Without even rebuking the noisy students, she walked in front of Horun.

「The Headmaster is calling for you.」

「……Got it -ssu.」

「You, just what did you do?」

「……It’s because……I didn’t do anything.」

With an uneasy face, Babylon, who was on top of the desk, stared at her.

『Horun-chan.』

「……Even so……I need to do something about it.」

Being told by the homeroom teacher that she might have to leave early, Horun carried her leather bag and headed to the staff building.

She walked the passage there.

From the other side, a man wearing a dark red robe came along.

Bihyakk!

Step, by step, the distance got smaller.

It wasn’t even a suspicion anymore.

She was already confident about it.

However, Horun couldn’t grasp the evidence.

She glared at him.

「……I absolutely won’t forgive you -ssu.」

「You can’t do anything anyhow.」

Without even looking her way, Bihyakk vanished into the Middle School Section building.
