Eugene, who hugged me tightly for a few seconds, soon let me go.

His nose was slightly red looking at me.

“Sorry.”

He spoke in a low voice.

I think it means sorry for hugging me suddenly.

Slowly, I looked at his blue eyes and smiled faintly.

“It’s all right.”

I turned my head and looked around everyone.

Cassius, Erica, Rachel, Astra, and Eugene.

I took a close look at each face.

I thought it might take a long time to see these faces again.

‘No, we might never see each other again unless it’s now.’

It was bitter.

I died without any connection or close family or friends in my previous life.

If I didn’t have any lingering feelings about my past life after being possessed this body, that would be a lie.

But it was different this time.

Some people would be sad if I died.

And I will also feel the pain of thinking that it would be better to die if I lost them.

“Yerine, what’s wrong?”

Erica asked, rubbing her sleeve around her eyes with a voice that still cries.

“Oh, nothing.”

I just smiled.

If I tell them that I’m afraid I won’t see them again, I’m sure everyone will be sad.

“Professor, how’s it going out there?”

Cassius, who was standing still and biting his lips, asked.

“We’ve got a shield ready, and we’ve got some countermeasures that take full advantage of the light and heat magic.”

Professor Fraine answered the question in a subdued voice.

“But…”

Her eyes turned out the window.

The windows were shaking tremendously in the heavy rain.

“The rain and the storm is the problem.”

“That’s right.”

Professor Fraine nodded softly at my words.

“I don’t think Miss Spade’s magic is too much to be affected by the storm and rain, but….”

“If it doesn’t work, I’ll strengthen the size and intensity of other people’s flame magic. It’s kind of hard if there are many people, but I think it’d be better to do that.”

Cassius shook his head at the words.

“No, we’ve got to put it off till the end. When others find out we’re in the Academy…….”

“But if they’re already in front of the Academy, isn’t there any point in not being caught? This place will be attacked anyway.”

However, Professor Fraine raised his hand and interrupted me.

“No, Miss Spade. Miss Spade is right, but it would be more efficient to focus on your own flame magic.”

On second thought, that was right.

My flame magic was almost limitless, and I could control the flames I didn’t create.

Still, the flame I created myself with magic was the easiest to control.

“And it won’t last long, but for a short time it can be stopped with a shield.”

Erica, who had a serious look on her face and put her finger near her mouth, added.

“And now the prince’s target is you. Wouldn’t it be dangerous for you to fight on the front lines?”

Rachel nodded at her words.

“Right. You have a lot of mana there. Those monsters aim, you said, they’d take away your mana.”

“I feel the same way as Erica. The Crown Prince will do anything as soon as he spotted you. He even broadcast it all over the country to catch you.”

Astra said, biting her lips with her teeth.

“The professors and guards will take care of the front line. We can’t put our students on the front line.”

Professor Fraine, who was still listening to our story, said that.

“You don’t have to go into battle first. You have to fight only to defend yourself, and save your mana as much as you can.”

“But…..”

I tried to refute Astra, but Eugene blocked her.

“The professor is right. If you lose your mana by mistake, that will be strengthening their power.”

And Eugene looked straight at me and opened his mouth again.

“There’s something you need to know.”

“What?”

“That’s why I’m here. I thought I should let you know as soon as I heard that you might be at the Academy.”

At Eugene’s words, Cassius asked with his eyes wide open as if he could not believe it.

“Who knows we’re here again?”

He replied with a clear voice to Cassius’s words.

“It’s okay, it’s my parents.”

“What?”

I was so surprised and embarrassed that I grabbed Eugene’s sleeve and asked urgently.

“What are you talking about? What do you mean parents? Your parents?”

Eugene nodded quickly at my words.

“My mother contacted me. Emergency contact.”

Rachel talked with a necklace hanging around her neck.

“I heard the voices of the Duke of Ace and the Duke of Jacqueline on the spot. All three of them are safe.”

“But the Crown Prince must have been…….”

But the things Iker said when I first saw him at Noble State Field, he even spoke in national speeches.

That all the Housekeepers were caught.

“That’s a lie.”

Astra came forward to talk.

“At first, but three of them escaped later. Just before the prince spoke.”

Then Cassius asked.

“Then what about the rest of the housekeepers? You don’t know what happened?”

“She said that they don’t know. They were originally locked up in the same place and separated from the others.”

Erica answered Cassius’s question with a calmer voice than before.

“But my mother said that his ultimate goal is you, and if you escaped, there’s a big possibility that you could have gone to the Academy.”

And she held my hand tightly and continued.

“He asked me to tell you. First of all, they are fine, so don’t worry, they almost left the trail.”

I was worried.

Just in case they’ve already lost their mana.

Or maybe dead.

I thought about it through the dawn.

If I hadn’t listened to the Duke of Diamond.

I thought that if I had caught the Duke of Ale Club until the end, she could not have been caught.

So I regretted it.

“And she’ll stop by your territory to finish the defence work and you should stay in the Academy first.”

I lost my strength in my legs for a moment.

Fortunately, Cassius caught me, and he leaned on his arm. I murmured.

“That’s a real relief..”

Cassius and all the other children reached out to me and stood me up straight again.

“Anyway, we’re here to tell you that. I think that you might feel guilty that you escaped by yourself, and I think you should know your future plans.”

Eugene added an explanation with a worried look.

“Yeah, honestly, that’s what I felt.”

I answered so with my hand on my hot forehead.

“Look.”

Eugene replied with an expression that he couldn’t help it.

“Stop blaming yourself.”

Somehow, something seemed to come up from my throat when I saw him muttering quietly.

“By the way, what happened to the Rayl?”

Cassius asked, shining his golden eyes.

I was wide awake to what he said.

“He’s not back yet?”

Astra, Rachel, and Erica all seemed speechless.

“Did you hear any news from him?”

Astra answered Cassius’s question with a cracked voice.

“There wasn’t…..”

Her dry voice echoed through the room.

“……yet.”

Her face was very dark when she added the words.

Looking at Astra, who had always been shining like a star, fixed her life-filled sky blue eyes on the floor, she clenched her fists in both hands.

‘Why is she like that?’

Her hands were shaking because she clenched her fist so hard.

“First of all, we need to wait today.”

Astra spoke in a low voice.

“You never know. Maybe he hides in a deserted place and would find a chance to come back.”

“Astra……”

Erica called her name with a trembling voice.

“Rayl has been a little slow in everything since a long time ago. I think it’s just that again.”

She tried hard to smile and said that.

I couldn’t say anything.

I’m sure everyone would have.

The silence fell heavily for a while.

The room was as quiet as a tomb.

“Hey, you know what?”

It was the very moment Casius broke the silence and opened his mouth.

The window suddenly broke with a crash.

Glass debris splashed into the air, and a taffy-bent spear fell from the window and rolled on the floor.

“What!”

Everyone was surprised by the unexpected situation and stepped back.

“Everyone, get ready to attack!”

Eugene’s voice was heard in the dust.

It rained when the window was completely pierced.

Then a black cape slowly flowed through the big hole where the window was.

It was a monster.

“What, how is that here……….”

Erica murmured as if she was shocked.

And among the constant stream of monsters, a man in a white cape appeared.

‘Is he Iker’s man?’

However, the monster did not even give us time to identify the man.

The five monsters immediately opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and tried to rush.

I immediately invoked the flame magic.

And just as I tried to blow the flame, the man opened his mouth.

“Stop.”

It was the voice of a middle-aged man.

Surprisingly, the voice stopped the monster from moving in unison.

And they stuck to the wall in the room and made a circle around us.

‘He could control it?’

In the Noble State Field, Iker also showed control of the monsters.

However, Iker himself had no reason to come all the way here, and there was no reason to hide his appearance.

“You’d better put out the flames, Yerine Spade.”

The man in the white cape warned.

“As soon as you set off a flame, those monsters will come at your colleague.”

After grinding his teeth, he lifted the flame magic.

“I don’t care if you run at me. Don’t touch others.”

“If you run into it, there will be no countermeasures. These guys are the same kind you saw in Noble State Field.”

The man quietly walked forward and talked.

“If you deal with it well, no one can get hurt and end it.”

“If you cope well, you can end it without hurting anyone.”

The man didn’t open his mouth for a while.

After a long time, I heard his answer.

“Going to the current emperor without resistance.”

He added when I didn’t answer.

“Then they won’t all die. So are you, and isn’t that what you want?”

It was.

As he said, that was the thing that I wanted.

But I knew.

“Well, I don’t think that person will stop killing just because I’m coming to him.”

The man in the white cape slightly raised his head in my answer.

Nevertheless, his entire face is big.

I couldn’t see it because it was covered with a cape hat.

“You know that best, don’t you?”

The man didn’t answer what I said.

I looked at him straight.

With blazing eyes.

“How did it happen?”

Why didn’t you tell me?

No, you should have made it a little obvious.

“Rayl.”

A sad voice rang out in the room.
