The darkness that suddenly came. And then an ominous scene followed. Joy, who fell into an unidentified space while holding a teacup, looked around with blinking eyes.

The people who had been laughing and chatting with Joy just a moment ago had disappeared somewhere, and only strangely cold air was in their place.

Surprised by the chill that gave him goosebumps, Joy unconsciously tried to use magic to warm her body.

“…huh?”

And then I realized. That the space she was in now was not a normal place. The density of magical power remaining in the atmosphere was strangely low.

no. It wasn’t just horsepower. Everything was lacking. Vitality too. Temperature too. Many other things too.

Many things that were taken for granted in the original world were missing in this space now.

In a space where even breathing seemed increasingly difficult, Joy recalled a fairy tale her mother had told her when she was young.

The scene of hell vividly described by someone who fell into hell after repeating evil deeds.

Nonsense. Why has hell suddenly unfolded here?

What’s the problem?

…The evil god of the void.

A place where emptiness lurks is a place where there is nothing.

The sun too. Warm wind too. The vitality of the earth. Heaven’s blessings too. In ancient times, people called hell, a place where all the positive things that sustain the world disappeared.

The evil spirit of the void. Followers of the Void. You unleashed hell on the academy.

When I see other people around me disappearing, I wonder if they all ended up in different places.

In that case, you should prioritize joining other students.

An intuition that rings an alarm on your instincts.

The sixth sense that arose naturally from the time she received training at the Aln family not long ago alerts Joy to danger.

Joey immediately used defensive magic without doubting his senses.

Kwasik! Joey quickly turned his head at the ominous sound of piercing the defense shield and broke into a cold sweat as he saw the arrowhead embedded in the defensive magic.

In the distance, you can see a figure holding a bow.

It looked like a human, it looked like a devil, it looked like an angel in some ways, and there were aspects of it that were similar to beasts, and it was also seen as a monster, or perhaps even a small creature for which it was meaningless to care.

“Devil.”

The one who protects the void space. A being that roams around to ensure that nothing remains on the lonely land.

…It’s difficult to even guess its appearance, so I can’t guess its strength.

First, let’s conduct an exploration battle.

Joey created five magic circles on the spot and performed magic in three of them.

One is the blade of wind.

This magic, which cannot be seen with the eye and is as fast as an arrow, destroys the opponent’s defense.

The other is an arrow made of flame.

This magic, which is slower than the wind but has reliable power, deals damage to the opponent.

Lastly, an ice prison to bind the opponent who is distracted by the previous two spells.

If this magic to freeze the feet and restrict movement works, the previous magic will also work properly.

Joey’s aim was exactly right. The devil, whose attention was drawn to the previous two magics, was trapped by the ice prison hidden by Joey and had no choice but to receive the other two magics with his body.

Quaaaang! After seeing that the flame arrow that flew after the blade of wind caused a huge explosion, Joy was not relieved and composed another magic.

If that thing over there were really the devil from a fairy tale, it wouldn’t fall down like that.

So you need to prepare for the next one.

It’s bothersome that the atmosphere’s magic power is low.

First, do not touch the high-level magic, but try to overcome the situation by combining several low-level magic.

“…Huh?”

The moment the smoke clears, a questioning voice comes out of Joy’s mouth.

The demon, which had been standing fine just a moment ago, was shattered and rolling around on the floor.

The sight of the demon caught in the explosion and torn to pieces was so horrific that even Fabi shook his head.

what?

If that’s really the devil I know, there’s no way he could have fallen in vain like that.

I was thinking of adding fifteen more spells in the future, but it ends like this?!

Joey, who was wondering if he had become stronger or if the demon was weaker than the previous one, shrank his shoulders when he heard footsteps coming from afar.

The sound of footsteps was one, but not one. The sound of footsteps that shook the earth could never be one.

A legion that is one and many.

These people move in the same way without a single error.

Beings who move only with the obligation to erase the impurities that exist in this world.

Appears from behind the devil’s corpse.

After checking their number, Joey stood blankly and then slowly turned around.

Foul! That’s a foul! There are too many of them for just me!

Joey desperately moved his legs and prepared several magic spells to ward off those pursuing him.

Spreading ice on the ground, making it difficult to move. It distorts the shape of the earth and makes running difficult.

By making the air resistance stronger, there is more force to move.

…huh? Joey suddenly stopped and turned his head towards the back.

The place where her gaze was directed was right in front of the demon army.

Strange. Considering the environment here, it makes no sense for me to breathe magic like that.

It is true that my skills have improved a lot since I received instruction from the Grand Wizard last time, but there is a degree.

Something is wrong. Joy took a long breath as she saw the army running towards her and unleashed the magic she had created.

A miracle she created to deal with the hallucinations created by the power of the void. The magic that gives existence to nothing.

Then the surrounding scenery disappears and Joy’s spirit rises upward.

“…Dream?”

The blackened Academy barrier is reflected in Joy’s blinking eyes.

‘To be exact, somewhere imitating hell.’

‘If that were the case, would I be doing this?’

I am sensitive to the death of others.

That is the death of someone innocent. Especially if I could have prevented it but couldn’t.

I was the one who almost felt a little sick when I smelled the smell of blood in the forest occupied by the followers of the Void not long ago.

But other people die because of me?

Also, people you normally meet face to face?

It’s scary to even imagine. If something like that happens, I will never be able to come to my senses.

‘I told you. ‘This place is just an imitation of hell.’

‘It’s a simple story. grandfather. Do you think the evil spirit of the void, who failed in his last attempt to thrive in the forest, still has the power to manifest hell?’

‘Even if it’s not like that. ‘If such a grand plan was being prepared, wouldn’t I, Grandpa, or Fabi have had any clues?’

No, if that possibility had existed in the first place, I wouldn’t have been so relaxed.

Even if he went to see Benedick right away, he cried and said, ‘Papa. ‘Help me.’ I would have said so.

If that were the case, then stupid Benedick would have descended on the Academy and personally destroyed everything.

‘There are things that followers of the Void are good at, right?’

What is the best use for those who can become anything because they are nothing?

The answer is simple.

dream.

It is a space where everything you imagine can become reality, and at the same time, a place where it is infinitely difficult to tell whether it is reality or not.

‘If something goes wrong in my dream, I can only fall into a long, long sleep.’

Originally, this was a pretty big deal, but in my case right now, I have no reason to worry.

There is a stupid fox. There is a favy. There are so many other ways to get help, so what does sleep have to do with it?

After hearing my explanation, my grandfather let out a long sigh.

‘sure. That hair is really nice. Are you saying I would do well if I didn’t study?’

‘Why are you trying to kill me!’

Do I really need to tell you the story of how I filmed a mad movie in a stupid way?!

Don’t act like a genius granddaughter! Damn grandpa!

‘It’s better if it’s someone other than me who causes the commotion in the first place.’

“Huh. What is this again?”

Yuden frowned and looked at the academy’s blackened barrier.

“It looks like the followers of the Void have finally done something.”

Yuden’s expression frowns even more when he hears Karia’s voice coming from next to him.

After Arthur and Frey returned. Yuden stayed up all night thinking about how to teach the two. Not to satisfy Lucy, but to satisfy himself.

It was Karia who interrupted her excited thoughts about the decent talent.

She opened the door without asking permission and called Yuden outside.

And as soon as I came outside, the sight I saw was a barrier stained black.

“Did you know it was going to happen?”

Yuden, who felt that Caria’s calm expression confirmed his suspicions, said something, and Caria smiled mischievously.

“Is this the reason I went to see you?”

“…But why did you let this happen?”

“I don’t know about that either. My employer told me to do that.”

“Can I force you to open your mouth?”

“I really don’t know! I’m a person who just does what I’m told!”

Yuden, who heard Karia’s cry, raised his voice while smoothing the handle of his sword.

“Then, please help me interrogate the young lady later.”

“I don’t like it. If I touch my employer, I’m the only one who suffers.”

Even though he showed his life and threatened me, he still acted like a liar.

You probably know that I wouldn’t attack you.

shit. What a fucking human being.

Yuden clicked his tongue with the intention of listening and turned his gaze toward the barrier again.

“Can I cut the barrier?”

“They say you can make a hole, but it will be difficult if you smash it.”

“It’s a hole.”

When Yuden, standing in front of the barrier, lightly swings his sword, part of the barrier that was stained black collapses, revealing the scene inside.

“I’ll go in first. Please call support.”

“Aren’t you going to destroy everything before help arrives?”

“I don’t know. Dealing with the followers of evil spirits is always full of variables.”
