“Kyaaa! Kyahhhh!”
A scream so loud it seemed magically amplified echoed through the hall, causing every head to turn.
Demeri and I paused our conversation and surveyed the scene.
“My, Jekkiel? What’s happening?”
“Let’s investigate. We’ve finished our discussion anyway.”
“Yes!”
The system had promised a week without crisis, yet here we were, facing another incident.
We headed towards the source of the commotion.
“Sob! Sob! Sob!”
In the lobby, a young mage crouched, hands clamped over her ears, sobbing uncontrollably.

“What’s wrong?” someone asked, helping her up.

“I saw a ghost… I’m sure it was… It was… so horrifying…”
No one believed her story about a ghost, but her terror was so palpable that the atmosphere grew serious.
And then—
“Hyaaah!”
Another scream erupted from a different location.
“Kyaaaaa!”
And another, from the opposite side.
As the screams multiplied, a sense of dread began to spread among the mages.
“What’s going on? It’s not like a demon appeared…”
Demeri muttered, arms crossed.
At the same time, a message appeared before my eyes:
