The dove quietly looked at the rose water and opened its beak.

“Did you succeed in moving Bella Moussin to revoke González’s ban?”

“It hasn’t been officially withdrawn yet, but it will happen soon.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Tomorrow morning, if you go to the tree trunk by the lake where you always go, you will receive your reward.”

“Wait.”

Rose caught the dove as it spread its wings.

“What is it? Is there anything left to report?”

“Just. Let’s talk for a bit and then go.”

“No time.”

“Hey. I’m your only representative at the Academy.

Wouldn’t it be better to be more friendly?”

The white bird hesitated for a moment, then folded its wings again.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“Your goal is to spread the era of romance throughout the school, right?”

“… ”

“It may not be the ultimate goal, but that is the primary goal.”

“So?”

“What is your relationship with Coleman Cantor?”

Wind magic suddenly erupts from the bird’s body.

Rose could not withstand the wind pressure and took a few steps back.

“I should have said it clearly when we first met. It is forbidden to ask questions about who I am.”

“Uh, this isn’t that kind of question.

Why on earth are we so interested in Coleman Cantor?”

The pigeon turned around, and after a moment, opened its mouth again.

“There is no particular relationship. At least for me… ”

“For me?”

“Nothing more than that is for you to know.”

“Then, why are you interested in that guy’s game?”

“You’re really curious. If I had to answer, the romantic era is very important to my plans.

No, because of that game, all plans come true… ”

Still a puzzling word.

Rose shrugged her shoulders as if there was nothing she could do.

“After. It’s not much fun like this.

Playing undercover is fun when you at least know who your client is.”

“Black play?”

The bird’s eyes shone.

“Now that I think about it, you don’t really care about the amount of reward you receive after completing a mission.

What is being asked for as compensation is not money, but something dangerous like a forbidden black book… ”

“Would Blue Dragon’s Magna Cum Laude participate in such a dangerous act just because he wanted a few pennies?”

“Then what do you want?”

“Thrill.”

A crazy smile on her face.

“It was really fun when I smuggled in a claymore and turned 5th grade Baekyang into a blood clot.

I want to feel that feeling again. The feeling of doing something forbidden… ”

Silence for a moment.

“… is it. Do you know why I chose you as my partner?”

“What is it?”

“I thought you wouldn’t feel any resentment toward breaking the rules.

But it’s more than that. You are the type of person who gets pleasure from breaking the rules.”

“Are you dissatisfied?”

The pigeon closed its beak.

“No. It’s none of my business. But please don’t do anything unexpected.

Because we need more time to reach the next stage of the plan.”

“I have that level of self-control. Because I’m still immersed in this dark game… ”

A hint that you will not follow controls if you become bored.

After saying that, Rose blew out the candle, and the dove jumped from the railing.

A pure white bird splits the night sky.

From the Blue Dragon Dormitory, past the Baekyang Dormitory, across the Great Lake, and towards a tavern in Romelo Village.

With the forearm of the man in gray robes sitting on the terrace of the tavern’s second floor.

When he lifted his finger, the feather messenger scattered into the wind mana and disappeared.

The man nibbled on the alcohol and snacks on the table, then slowly got up and took the stairs to the first floor.

After leaving the tavern, he walked straight toward the village entrance for five minutes.

And I stood in front of the tavern again.

He looked up and checked the store’s sign. It’s obviously the place we just started from.

Except there was no sound from the bar and no one was on the street.

The man burst out laughing and turned back.

“A barrier using city magic.”

“The land where the wind stays is the city.”

The tavern’s door opened, revealing Academy Dean Russell Corvus, wearing a dark green professor’s uniform.

“The spinning thing is urban magic, but how did they get rid of the people?

ah. Don’t say it. I know the answer. Using mirror magic, you created a subspace that only projected the image of the building.”

“What is your relationship with Colman Cantor, Mr. Milton?”

This is the second question I get asked today.

The man called Milton sighed and lifted his gray hood to reveal his face.

Short-cut silver hair and silver eyes.

There are no blemishes, wrinkles, or beards on his face, but the age reflected in his eyes is more than that of Russell.

“Why are you like this, Russell? You know it well. There is no relationship.”

“Then why did you recommend him?”

“Kick out Coleman? Don’t do that. You’re already changing the academy by making great games.”

“How did you know you had a talent for making games?”

“You were chosen by God, so you must have such talent.”

god.

Russell’s face hardened at that mention.

“There is no God. You, no one else, proved that fact.”

“That paper from the days of the Holy Kingdom of Palo Alto?”

“Yes! You showed us all that there is no one in the throne room in the sky and that the abyss below is empty!”

“I don’t think it’s appropriate to use the word “all of us” on a subject that wasn’t even alive at the time.”

The Holy Kingdom of Palo was a country that considered magic to be a gift from God.

But after the existence of God was denied, they changed their minds.

If there is no God, magic is God. We wizards who use magic are the incarnation of God –

And the kingdom came to an end amidst excesses and pleasures.

“Are you trying to withdraw that claim now?

Are you now feeling guilty that your thesis caused the destruction of the Holy Kingdom of Palo Alto?

It’s not your fault. Even if it is your fault, you sufficiently atone by creating a circle-”

“Russell, Russell. There is no way I would think such nonsense.

That sense of debt was long gone.

It’s already been over 100 years since we enjoyed all kinds of entertainment among people.”

Russell stamped the ground with his cane.

“Then why are you suddenly acting like a god?

Is this a joke to make fun of me? Or have you finally become senile?”

“Because she is God.”

she.

The Dean lifted his hand and stroked his beard.

After taking a long and short breath, he opened his mouth again.

“Speaking of her, is it Athena Melon?”

Silence of consent.

“Is it metaphorical to say that Athena is a god? Do you love her like you worship God?”

“Although Athena did not have divinity in the usual sense-”

“If there is no divinity, you are not God.”

“Does God have to exist now?”

Sparks flew from the eyes of the two men.

“Good. Let’s assume she is God. So why did you choose Coleman Cantor?”

“God has the right to appoint whoever he wants as a prophet.”

“Why should we acknowledge such a prophet?”

“Don’t you want to acknowledge Coleman, Russell?”

This time it was Russell’s turn to be silent.

The popularity of the game created by Coleman Cantor is the most positive thing that has happened to the Academy in the past 10 years.

However, without his knowledge, he is being controlled by this crazy archmage.

“Using Coleman-”

“Using it. Athena and I had no influence whatsoever on the success of this game.

It was solely his power that made this game a hit. That is why he is a prophet.”

“So what is a Pigeon Herald infused with a Detection Disruption spell?

What on earth are you planning at the academy?”

“I didn’t send a messenger to Coleman. I’ll tell you that.”

Milton turned around and started walking.

As he fumbled in the air, he smiled and started pressing a certain part.

“Aha. This is the end of the barrier.”

“So you are refusing to answer.”

“What if I refuse?”

The life that comes out in an instant. Russell quickly assessed the odds.

A lot of mana has already been used to maintain the barrier, and even basic skills are reduced by half, or perhaps by one.

And Milton is, after all, one of the founding fathers of the circle. You cannot risk life or death by asking questions that are unclear.

Because recommending new students without a reason and sending unauthorized messengers to students is not a crime.

He bit his lip and took a step back.

“Warning, Milton. From now on, please do not send messengers to Academy students without informing me.

If this happens one more time, you are an enemy of the Academy.”

“Do you mean to treat him as a runaway wizard and hunt him down?”

“You know very well.”

Milton stuck his finger into the barrier. and-

Left!

As he spread his arms left and right, the sub-space collapsed along with the sound of a paper bag being torn.

The two wizards returned to the front of a real-life tavern full of lively songs and staggering drunks.

“Warning, I will listen.”

The moon’s magic spread softly, and Milton’s figure disappeared in a shimmer.
