Chapter 90: v5c5

At the same time.

The manager's office in the dormitory.

The door is knocked and opens.

Maia, knitting in her comfortable chair, glances over at him.

"Oh, you're back."

"Yes."

　An old man with white hair and a long white beard walks in with a smile.

It was headmaster Yorog.

«I'm glad you're doing well for someone who is being headmaster of the academy, and you fly around all over the place."

'It's been a long time since the stars have moved.'

　Yorog answered.

　He sat down in the chair across from Maia and bowed to her.

"I'm sorry I asked you to do so much this time, I heard you were very hard on them."

　Maia sniffed.

"You're asking for something so absurd to begin with that it's inevitable that I''m going to have to push them to some degree."

“ I. I was surprised to hear you ask them to take the place of Cassis, who is suddenly sick.

"Well, the fat little Morgen is just an bonus. I don't want to do this either, but I don't know what else I can do. The little Almark was not happy. Well, I'm always pushy, so I guess he didn't think it was strange. I'm used to students not liking me."

So that' s how you made up for Cassis' work. It seems you've had him doing something else for quite a few days."

"You said you would never mess this up. I was very careful because I didn't want them to have any doubts. If I told them to go down to the basement, they'd get suspicious."

"I'm sorry, ......, for making you feel awkward,"

　Yorog bowed his head.

"So, how is Cassis feeling?"

"Cassis is not sick," Yorog said. "He is enjoying his vacation at an inn in the city of Nork.but his vacation will end today "

"I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you."

Yorog bowed his head again, but his face looked pleased.

　Maia saw this and frowned.

"The boy has been here for less than half a year. he can't even use magic, can he?"

'Yes. ...... things seem to be moving faster than the I had expected,'”

　Yorog nodded. A shadow fell over his face.

"We must return it to its rightful owner while it is still in peace. If it remains in its current state, it could be lost to the enemy at any moment, by any means".

"It's a complicated thing , isn't it?"

　Maia sounded dismayed.

"It can never be obtained by someone who knows its value, or by someone who aims to obtain it. It's a joke of magic. I mean, one has to come back with it by accident, not knowing what it is at all."

"Yes."

　Yorog nodded, and Maia frowned and shook her head.

"that's a bit much, even if it is to hide it from the enemy. Thanks to you and me, no one who knows its value could even move it out of the place."

"You are absolutely right.'

Yorog smiled wryly.

But once we have an official owner, we will be able to handle it. If he is recognized as the official owner today and brings that thing back ......"

　Yorog leans forward and looks at Maia.

'Would you be willing to call it destiny?"

　Maia shakes her head bitterly.

"Destiny is not my area of expertise. I'll leave that to you star gazers. Besides, I'm sure there was another spell of protection on that thing."

"Yes, it does. It is a test of courage to see if the owner is worthy of it and if he has the strength to fight the darkness."

　Yorog nodded.

"But he will pull it off."

"Whether it's a test or an ordeal, ......"

Maia said, not taking a break from her knitting.

"It's always the person who does it who has to risk his life."

"Yes, that's true,"

　Yorog smiled and nodded.

That little Almark was the one you spotted, wasn't it?

"Yes, by the movement of the stars."

"There are three such kids in the third grade this year. I thought two of them were dead before they entered the Academy, but somehow they all managed to come together,"

"Yes, I'm sure this is not a mere coincidence. A great force is at work."

"Destiny , again. I don't want to hear about it."

　Maia shook her head.

"In any case, take good care of him . It is rare to find such a noble child."

" I thought I told you about her, Maia. He is ason of mercenary from the north.'

I'm not talking about that kind of low level stuff, .How many students do you think I've seen in my life? When Ihe first arrived at the dormitory, I recognized him right away. He was wearing a cloak that didn't suit him . I had never seen such a noble boy before.

"Oh, I understand what you mean."

　Yorog smiled.

'That's great of you, Maia. Aren't you tired of acting like you don't know everything about students when everything is in your head? If you could show a little more of your kindness, you'd be a little more popular with the students."

"This is my way of doing things. If you have a problem with it, you can fired me anytime you want. I'm a manager, and I like it when people are annoyed."

“..... Well, the students aren't that stupid."

　Yorog stood up.

"Not all children see only the surface of you. That's why Morgen accepted the job right away, even though it was a forced assignment. That boy understands your kindness. He' s a very strong and kind boy."

'I know that without being told. A boy like Almark needs a friend like that."

"This is ...... none of my business."

　Yolog opened the door behind him and said,

"Don't worry, Almark will pull it off."

"That's not what I'm worried about. It's about what comes after that."

I'll keep that in mind.

　The door closed and Maia sighed deeply.

Maia stared at Almark as he showed her the box full of signs and lumber.

　He then took out the signs and take them one by one to check them.

　Maia's expression turned grim when he took one of the sticks out of the box, a nondescript piece of wood.

"This isn't signboard wood, is it?"

"Huh?"

　Almark and Morrgen looked at each other.

　When they dropped the wood on the basement floor, they couldn't tell which was the original wood, so they stuffed some random sticks from the area into the box as well.

　"Maybe so".

He said, "These sticks aren't wood. believe me "

　Maia's hand was trembling slightly.

　Almark took the stick.

　It felt as if he had holding not the first time.

　The stick felt very comfortable in Almark's hand.

"It's about the length of a stick. "It's not very long for a wand,"

　Morgen said.

"Almark, why don't you use it for practicing in your room?"

'Oh, yes, I suppose I could. After the vacations, Teacher going to teach me magic."

　Almark nodded.

"I'll take this stick and goto my room "

"Oh,Don't throw it away."

　Maia stopped them as they were leaving.

"Oh, you guys," .

　She told them as they turned around.

“Cassis is feeling better, so you don't have to come back tomorrow.”

　They looked at each other.

　Then they say "hoary , and turn to leave.

'”Thank you for all your hard work."

　At these words, they men turn around again with surprised looks on their faces.

"What is it?"

"No, it's nothing."

　They left her office.

"You made her say it."

"Yeah."

　Almark and Morgen looked at each other and laughed.

　In Almark's hand, an ugly wooden stick was held firmly.
