Academy Munchkin Enslaved

58 – The World He Disappeared (7)

There were two artifacts that Lorraine brought from the imperial family.

One is the ‘Infinite Fountain of Mana’. The other is the ‘Ring of Glory’.

In the case of the Ring of Glory, the effect was similar to the Pearl of Yeohwa that Ian took.

However, the difference is that its output was much lower than that of the Pearl of Yeohwa, and instead, there was no limit on the number of uses.

In other words, it meant that it played a role in slightly increasing the user’s magical performance as a whole.

If it was Lorraine in the past, this would have been insufficient for a long time, but now, nine years later, this was enough.

And an infinite fountain of mana.

It is a mysterious-shaped stone that literally holds a vast amount of mana.

It’s not really that mana keeps pouring out infinitely.

Actually, the amount you can store at one time is almost empty after using 7th level magic once.

However, the magic of the hierarchy below it was useful in that it could be used quite a number of times and was rechargeable.

According to the theologians, there is a high probability that Mana does not exist in the world on the other side of Ian.

However, magic tools classified as artifacts are not affected by dimensions.

There was also a high probability of guessing that the use of the artifact was possible in the other dimension.

That’s why Lorraine took the infinite spring of mana, which is useless right now.

The emperor might be angry if he found out that the artifact was stolen like this, but right now it wouldn’t be the situation to worry about such things.

The continent is truly on the verge of extinction.

If you can’t stop the invasion of demons anyway, artifacts or anything else have no meaning.

“Senior Kana.”

The next place I visited after Hwangseong was the academy.

The place I came to almost 7 years after graduating now looked quite lonely as the number of students had decreased.

It was because the population had significantly decreased due to the long war, and it was also because most of the usable resources were mobilized for the war.

Currently, the academy has no third-year courses, and most of them went to the battlefield after completing their studies in two years.

Even the wizards of the Mage Tower are in a situation where some of them are on the battlefield, so I wonder if it was an academy.

“… Red hair?”

Kana was still there.

Still she was a cadet, no, she was too short to believe that she was a new professor at the academy.

Even so, her unique bright atmosphere was still there. However, there was also a certain loneliness inside her.

“What happened? I thought she was dead because there was no news about her.”

“… I’m done. Magic.”

“… What?”

“I am going to look for Mr. I need your help.”

Hearing that, Kana’s expression collapsed beautifully.

She too was having a good time, but she couldn’t completely erase her memories of Ian.

Yeah, it was all thanks to Ian that I got my current life.

Kana also always misses her Ian and she has been spending all this time.

When the longing grew, she devoted herself more to magic research.

“… That word. Are you sure?”

“I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure. It’s definitely the same as your uncle’s magic.”

“Explain.”

“It is literally. I was able to recreate the magic that the old man used 8 years ago. The calculation has already been completed. However, I still don’t have enough strength to cast magic alone. In terms of calculation, I am asking because there is no one I know who can follow Kana-senpai. But instead, Kana-senpai will also pass to the other dimension.”

“That way… Ian’s hometown, right?”

“… Yes. I can’t even guarantee that I’ll be able to come back. Because there is a high probability that there is no mana over there. Of course, I prepared a defense against him.”

Kana pondered for a while. But that worry was only for a moment.

“Okay. I’ll go!”

“… Are you okay?”

“Even if it stays like this, it is an established fact that the continent will perish. Because I’ve always missed Ian. I really wanted to say thank you properly.”

“Then… what. All right.”

The story progressed quickly, and together the two decided to move on to the dimension where Ian existed.

Actually, it was a reckless choice. It was a choice to cross the river of no return.

However, the reason for this choice was the same for both.

One for Ian, one for protecting the world they love.

“… Finally, there is one more person I need to meet. See you again after that.”

Finally, Lorraine went to see Miya.

***

“… Me. I’m going to go find my uncle. You have completed the magic.”

“… Uh?”

Not even Lorraine knew that Miya was the daughter of the Succubus Queen.

Lorraine only knew that Miya had found her lost parents again, and that’s why she left the academy to live.

Of course, Miya was standing on the side of her demons no matter what.

Lorraine was almost the only human she met, and she didn’t even meet him often.

Miya had no interest in war. She just wanted to live her life with the people she liked.

But the moment she heard Lorraine’s story, Miya faced reality.

The war would come to an end when the demon king was resurrected, and then humans, including Lorraine, had to prepare for the end.

Of course Miya missed her Ian. For the past 8 years she has lived thinking of him.

But apart from meeting him she misses, her meaning of bringing Ian back to this world was clear.

It meant that Ian would fight the demons, and that also meant that she would fight with the people she loved.

It was a matter of course. It was a natural story, but now that she had the possibility of meeting Ian again, Miya was finally able to face the reality.

She is a human herself, but she is on the side of the demons.

“I will go to the other world and meet you in person. And I’ll convince you Please come back.”

“… Are you sure you can succeed?”

“… You will succeed Because it has to be.”

But that worry was fleeting.

War. Asmodian. Human.

Because it was none other than Ian that Miya had priority over any other values.

Whatever the reality is. Whether she is a demon or a human.

Her The most important thing to her is her Ian. It was to see him again.

And spending happy time with him again. In order to do that, whatever it was, Ian had to come back.

I had to hope that Lorraine would succeed.

“… I’m going too Can I go too?”

“… One more person can fit in. But… “

“I know. Could it be that you can’t come back?”

“… Huh.”

“It doesn’t matter. Ian will be able to meet you again.”

“… Okay.”

Lorraine didn’t bother to stop Miya.

She thought it was pointless to stop it, because she probably knew that she would miss him as much as she missed her Ian.

That’s why she came to visit her one last time.

And with her, she might have an easier time turning her heart around Ian, too.

“… I have one more person to go with. We will go with three people in total.”

“… Huh. Okay.”

“Then see you in a week.”

*

“This is Kana-senpai. Now I am a professor at the academy… “

Meeting each other for the first time, Miya and Kana exchanged simple greetings.

“Hello. For Ian, I owe a great deal of grace… “

They also conveyed each other’s circumstances simply.

For some reason, Kana, who bowed her head and greeted her, was Miya, who somehow thought it was cute.

She honestly had a look that made it hard to believe that she was a professor.

Of course, she must have been young for her professor, but that probably wasn’t the reason.

“Then the magic will begin immediately. Kana-senpai, as I said, just calculate that part. 10.097 Seconds in real time. I will activate the magic exactly at that moment.”

“Okay. That should be enough.”

Kana didn’t study magic as long as Lorraine, so it was impossible for her to do much arithmetic.

Instead, as Lorraine informed in advance, it was decided to only proceed with calculations for about 10% of the magic circle, and Kana had perfectly prepared for the calculations for a week.

On the continent, it was a high-level magic that reached the 7th tier, but at Lorraine’s level, with that much help, it was possible to spread magic with a joint order.

“I… What can I do?”

“All you have to do is stay here. If you are within the range of the magic circle, you will move through the dimensions together with us. Just wait 10 seconds. Don’t worry.”

“Ugh, yes… go for it.”

If you wait 10 seconds, you can move between dimensions.

For Miya, who didn’t know about magic, it was just amazing.

However, the expressions of the two preparing the magic were more serious than ever, so Miya put aside her nonsense and stood there silently.

“Then… “

“… Huh.”

And when the two of them exchanged signals, it was as if only the two of them slowed down.

With a movement that was noticeably slower than the surrounding time, the two began to move.

No, because the level of acceleration of the two of them was so high, they seemed to be almost stationary.

However, the two were carrying out a vast amount of calculations in an expanded mindset.

“Oooooh… “

And about 10 seconds later, when the two opened their eyes again.

“… Done.”

Like I saw that day 8 years ago under the feet of the three.

A light that was exactly the same as the light that Ian created, that made Ian disappear, was shining.

Perfectly whiter than any light.

It was a pure white light that connected Ian and the three of them.

“Kyaa, kyaa… “

Without even time for Miya to scream, the existence of the three disappeared from the world in an instant.
