Yi-Han was shocked by Nillia's violent way of thinking.
"Oh. Is that not it?"
Nillia became embarrassed.
Well, Yi-Han wasn't a crazy person, so he wouldn't tell her to shoot arrows at Baldurguard students.
"Rise, warriors made of bone!"
When he threw bone powder out the window, skeleton warriors rose.
Yi-Han pointed at the skeleton warriors and said,
"You should shoot those."
"..."
Nillia was shocked by Yi-Han's violent way of thinking.
Was it okay to summon skeleton warriors and shoot them with magic arrows on a noble family's mansion grounds?
Of course, it obviously wasn't.
The two Baldurguard students started screaming.
"Aaaaaaaah!"
"S-skeletons! Undead! It's undead!"
"Why are you making such a fuss over skeletons?"
Gainando asked as if he couldn't believe it.
The words of the Einroguard madman who only knew magic weren't helpful to the two.
Ingsen, who had barely calmed down, shouted to the others with tears in his eyes.
"Un-undead! It's undead!"
"It's undead, so does that look like a living person to you?"
"Why are you so calm about this!!"
Ingsen screamed at Gainando as if having a fit.
Gainando's nonchalant attitude, as if he had just seen a dog walking in an empty lot, drove Ingsen even crazier.
Yonaire, feeling this wouldn't do, urged Nillia.
"Quickly. Quickly take them down!"
"O-okay."
Nillia hurriedly cast enchantment magic on the bow and summoned a spirit.
With a heavy resonance, powerful energy swirled around the bow. The spirit, sensing its master's urgency, settled on the arrowhead to adjust its direction.
Bang!
The arrow struck the skeleton warriors accurately. The friends applauded seeing the skeleton warriors properly shattered.
"As expected of Nillia."
"Hmph. If Yi-Han had summoned them stronger, set up bone shields, and cast curses..."
"It's not time to boast about dark magic now, Gainando."
"Um, everyone? Please look over there."
"?"
The friends belatedly noticed the two Baldurguard students who had slumped down.
"...Now, you two. Look out the window! The skeletons are dead! There's nothing to worry about!"
"That's right. Miss Nillia here took care of them! Get up and see!"
"M-my legs have no strength..."
Priestess Siana whacked their backs with her staff at the Baldurguard students' excuse.
The other friends hurriedly rushed in to stop her.
"You shouldn't hit them!"
"They said their legs had no strength..."
"Oh, does hitting their backs make strength return to their legs?"
"No, I just hit them because I was annoyed."
Fortunately, the two were so out of it that they didn't even realize they had been hit.
They finally managed to get up belatedly, looked out the window to confirm the shattered skeletons, and then let out sighs of relief.
There was no point in giving a dark magic lecture here.
"Who defeated them?"
"Nillia here did it. It's a combination of enchantment magic and spirit magic."
"...!"
Ingsen was shocked.
It was difficult enough to cast one, but to use both together and even defeat skeletons.
It was an unbelievable magical ability.
"A-amazing!"
"Impossible. Even though she's not a noble?"
At Basiu's muttering, Yonaire, who had been explaining as kindly as possible, bristled.
"Oh, this bastard really."
"Pardon?!"
"What?"
"J-just now..."
"I didn't say anything though?"
The friends nodded simultaneously at Yonaire's words.
"She didn't say anything just now."
"My. Did your mind become weak from seeing undead?"
"Y-yes... It seems so."
'It's magic hell!'
The two finally realized.
This was magic hell.
They had read about it in fairy tales.
The place where mischievous children were dragged to by an evil mage after playing pranks.
It was the magic hell they could never escape from.
No one came to help them.
They would be forever trapped between those magics and despair.
Ingsen, thinking he would never see his family and seniors again, cried loudly.
Then, while Yi-Han was out, he begged the only person he could trust.
"Please!"
"?"
"Please, Miss Nillia. Have mercy on us!"
"Wh-what should I..."
"Let us escape!"
"Huh? Can't you just escape?"
Nillia wondered why they were acting like this.
To talk nonsense as if unable to make normal judgments.
If they just said they had urgent business, Wardanaz would let them go.
'...Or not? He won't let them go?'
"If-if we escape, we'll be caught. By that great mage of the Wardanaz family..."
'How did they know Wardanaz's nickname?'
Nillia was curious.
"What if you escape secretly?"
"I'm telling you we'll be caught! We'll be discovered if we go out from the reception room! We'll be discovered...!"
Basiu earnestly pleaded.
"Miss Nillia. I apologize for being jealous of you. I was unconsciously jealous of your outstanding magic skills."
"What??"
"But now I understand. You're the only one who cares about us. Please! I'll apologize like this. Just one more time, the mercy you've shown us so far..."
The two appealed to Nillia with tears.
Nillia couldn't even call her friends because of the too serious request.
"Well... I do have an invisibility potion."
"!!"
"S-such a secret...!"
'Are these really magic school students?'
Attempting invisibility in dangerous areas was the first thing any Einroguard student would think of.
Suppressing her disbelief, Nillia said,
"But the problem is footprints remain, right?"
"Sob...!"
"Actually, there's a way for that too."
"Miss Nillia!!"
"...If you crawl through those bushes over there, you can reach the main gate without leaving traces, you know?"
Nillia felt slightly embarrassed as she spoke.
Even Nillia, from the Shadow Patrol, felt embarrassed crawling through bushes, so could these two from noble families really do it?
"But I think it might be too hard for you..."
"Thank you, thank you!"
"We won't forget this kindness! If we have a child, we'll name them Nillia!"
"...Please don't actually do that."
Nillia refused seriously.
***
Yi-Han, who had finished preparing diligently with Dolgyu and Ratford, paused when he saw the reception room with two fewer people.
"Where did they go?"
"W-well. It seems they went back?"
"Leaving their reagent pouches?"
"I-I guess they forgot them."
"Why didn't you see them? Hmm."
"M-maybe we were too focused on magic?"
Yi-Han shrugged at Nillia's words.
Thinking about it, he felt that could be possible.
"Why are you sweating so much, Nillia?"
"It's... it's hot inside. You know. I'm from the northern mountains! Shadow Patrol hunters wear just one layer of cloth even in midwinter!"
"When I saw the Shadow Patrol last time, they were all wearing thick clothes though?"
"..."
Fortunately, Yi-Han didn't ask any more and sat in a chair.
"It's disappointing after preparing so much. Did they have urgent business?"
"What will you do with these reagent pouches?"
"Hmm... It's troublesome, but I guess I have no choice. I'll have to send a letter. Saying I'll visit to deliver them."
"Mr. Wardanaz, you're too kind."
"It's nothing much."
Nillia had a strong feeling that the two students might suddenly start feigning illness from today.
