Upon hearing that Soul Academy would be closed for a few months, the students at the academy prepared to leave for home one by one.

Some people cannot overcome the anger of parents who worry about their children.

Another practical reason is that someone needs to earn tuition for the next semester.

Some people have worked so hard for the immature reason that they should have a little more fun.

In addition, people prepared their luggage for their own reasons.

Because of that, as the day got brighter, the atmosphere at the academy became increasingly noisy, but Joy was removed from the story.

“This is the meaning of this part of the magic circle.”

“If you look at it this way, there are definitely parts that fit together. In particular, this part is more appropriate when viewed as a recovery-type sacred magic.”

“Erginus’ idea is definitely surprising.”

“Can this be applied to existing magic?”

“It’s quite possible. It can be used in our academy training center right now…”

Joy, who was demonstrating the interpretation of a magic circle in front of numerous professors of the Department of Magic, sighed inwardly as she absentmindedly listened to their conversation, which was far beyond the student level.

When he was first asked by the Dean of the Department of Magic to interpret the magic circle, Joey never thought things would turn out like this.

It was not because I underestimated the passion of the academy’s professors. How can she not understand the passion of her professors, given how many years she has been learning so far?

The reason Joy initially thought things were easy was because she didn’t know much.

Joy, who had recently received knowledge about the magic circle directly from Erginus, proved that she had embodied the magic circle by restoring the collapsed magic circle.

In fact, I accepted the dean’s offer because I was confident that I would do the same thing again and again.

However, if you ask Joey if he has reached a level where he can understand and explain all the knowledge contained in the magic circle, he will be shocked and shake his head.

There is no way it would be possible to understand the magic circle containing the essence of the great wizard named Erginus in just over a month.

Joy, who can use magic but does not accept the principles and ideas contained in it, planned to draw a magic circle for the dean and then explain the function of each picture before walking away.

‘wait a minute. ‘Is this a magic that has the function of purification?’

‘yes. As far as I know, yes.’

‘How could this be?’

The problem started with the dean’s doubts. The magic circle, which looked completely different from the current mainstream magic system, gave the dean a headache.

‘I just learned that it can be done.’

There was no way Joey could answer her questions.

Joy, who had learned the magic circle through thorough indoctrination, did not know why the magic circle was drawn like that.

‘…Lady Patran. ‘I have one favor to ask of you.’

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer, so the dean asked me a favor.

No disclosure or misuse. In addition, since it will impose numerous restrictions, is it okay to bring in a professor from another academy?

Joy nodded calmly in front of the dean’s serious eyes. I had no intention of monopolizing the knowledge related to this magic circle. Because Erginus didn’t even tell us to keep it confidential.

‘It looks like an ancient magic system… Please wait a moment. I’ll bring the materials.’

‘…you’re right. Some of the magic that was used in the past matches this magic circle.’

The professor brought by the dean resolved the doubts after going through numerous documents.

Even the questions that arose afterward could not be resolved.

‘I think we should call Professor Konta. Dean. Definitely someone who studies ancient attack magic.’

‘Lady Patran. Would it be okay?’

‘I don’t mind.’

So another professor participated in the research.

After the doubt is resolved, another question arises.

Another professor comes to solve that question.

In this process, there was no professor who rejected the dean’s proposal. Even though the restrictions imposed by the dean were quite heavy.

Joy, who was suspicious of the professors nodding their heads as if they had decided on the answer, secretly asked a question, and one of the professors smiled and answered with a bright, childlike smile.

‘The biggest reason we had difficulty interpreting Erginus’ magic circle was because there were too many magic circles mixed together. But now the Lady has broken down that barrier.’

‘I have a chance to encounter the wisdom left behind by Archmage Erginus! ‘How could I turn down this opportunity!’

‘If there is a person who refuses this, he should be considered unworthy of being at Soul Academy.’

‘Thank you for giving me this glorious opportunity. Lady Patran. If I have any favor to ask you in the future, please do it for me.’

Of course, it doesn’t mean that Joy had no way out.

In the meantime, other ladies, her friends including Fabi, and even her brother came to visit her and ask how she was doing.

Each time, Joy tried to say that she would just leave, but failed to open her lips, weighed down by the passionate eyes of the other professors.

Joy, a mere female student, was powerless in the face of the know-how that many scholars had gained as graduate students.

Joy, who was forced to participate in the professors’ heated discussion, was forced to watch the moon rise and set with soulless eyes.

The conversations between these people who have achieved remarkable results in their respective fields were very useful academically.

Right now, Joy couldn’t deny that she learned a lot from listening to their conversation.

But there is a degree there too!

Yesterday, I suffered to death in hell, so does it make sense to study all night without even resting?!

I’m really so tired! I feel like I’m going to collapse from overwork at this rate!

“Lady Patran?”

“…Ah. yes. yes. I’m listening.”

“This part is the basis of the barrier, right?”

Even though Joy was complaining internally, she faithfully answered the professor’s questions.

“Yes. That’s right. I understand that it also serves the role of distinguishing between the inside and the outside.”

“Is that so as expected?”

“…as expected?”

“Ahaha. It’s similar to what I’ve seen elsewhere.”

The professor, who conducts research in both barrier science and archeology, looked beyond the cloudy landscape.

“Do you know about the Fairy Forest that Erginus sealed?”

“Yes. I know. I understand that access is prohibited because the energy of evil spirits is invading the area.”

“Once I had the opportunity, I went there with the priests of the church who gave me the opportunity. And that’s when I discovered a similar magic.”

“Lady Patran?”

As if the professor’s story was about to get interesting, at the perfect moment, a voice calling for Joy is heard from outside.

“The daughter of the Alln family is looking for you.”

Lucy? I heard you collapsed yesterday, but you seem to be fine.

thank god. Joy sighed in relief and, as usual, felt other people’s eyes on her, but she made up her mind and turned away from them.

If you miss this opportunity now, you never know when you’ll get out of this hell! I have to get out! certainly!

“Let’s go. Come back later and I’ll tell you the rest.”

Joy came out of the lab, leaving the professor’s voice behind, and let out a bright, cloudless laugh.

I’m tired. I’m so tired I feel like I’m going to die.

Even though my body is fine, my mind is more exhausted than when I was training at the Arlen family.

Ugh. Part of me wants to go back to the dormitory and sleep right away, but I can’t do that…

First of all, I have to say hello to the various ladies, check the faces of my friends, and contact the family. And again.

“You idiot. Did you die once and come back to life? Why is your face like that?”

Joey, who was staring blankly at the sky, turned his head to the side when he heard a cheerful voice.

Wow. It’s Lucy. You’re wearing really cute clothes.

Shorts that showed off her thighs, and a wide white shirt with the ends tucked into her pants. A top long enough to cover the back of the hand draped over it.

Lucy is usually like a sharp princess, but now she feels like a more lively girl. I think it’s going to be really loud.

it’s a shame. If it weren’t outside, I would have regained my mental strength by hugging her. And the one standing behind Lucy.

“…Lord Benedict?”

“Long time no see. Lady Patran.”

Joy, who suddenly came to her senses at the giant’s murderous smile, quickly took out a fan and covered her tired face.

*

Joey looks really tired.

He’s not the kind of kid who gets tired of anything because I beat him to death.

What happened?

Could it be that you’ve been talking to professors in the Department of Magic all this time?

I heard that you were captured by the Dean of Magic, but have you been rolling around with those people without being able to sleep?

I don’t like it. What are they doing to our cute Joey?

I can’t give a rest to a child who is already tired from going through a lot of hardships.

‘That’s what I rolled!’

‘yes!’

Even if you roll, I roll. I can’t see other people bullying Joey!

How dare you talk about old people who don’t have much time left to live! We will break your legs like chopsticks and make you unable to do anything but the research you like for the rest of your life!

While I was raging about something that happened somewhere I didn’t know, Joey suddenly raised his voice.

“Yes?! The academy is taking a leave of absence?”

“Didn’t you know? Because of that, everyone is getting ready to leave.”

“…I had no idea. I’ve been busy talking about magic with other professors.”

“Magic?”

“Yes. It’s about the magic circle that Erginus left behind… me. The detailed explanation is a bit long.”

“Ah. It’s okay if you don’t.”

“Thank you!”

Joy, who raised her voice for a moment because she was so happy that she could explain less, soon changed the topic with her cheeks slightly blushing.

“That. so. What are you looking for me for?”

“You idiot. Do you know most of the books on magic in the library?”

“Yes. Because I read everything I thought I needed.”

“Please find the book I’m talking about. So…”

When I listed the books containing information related to the fairy forest, Joy shook her head and then tilted her head.

“All those books were written by one professor.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. You are in the lab now. Would you like me to call you?”

“Yes!”
