Episode 195

When was the last time we got together through sleep, and now they’re using sleep as an excuse to expel us… … .

Despite receiving the resentful looks from the two students, Ray continued his story regardless.

“Catch the pickpocket within a week and hand him over to the knights. That’s homework. For your information, there is nothing to look at. “If you have the naive thought that even if I can’t catch you, I’ll probably expel you, it would be better to give up in advance.”

“that… but! this… “Isn’t this about catching criminals?”

“what’s the problem. You are students at a magic school. Mika is even a user. Pickpockets are known to be people who can’t use magic, but even if they could use magic, they wouldn’t be a match for .”

“that… still… … .”

To put a student in such a dangerous job… Kia’s eyes want to say.

Even though it’s a misdemeanor at the level of pickpocketing, they can’t believe they hand over something that a knightly order would do as their homework.

Kia couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

“You two should work together and make it happen.”

“You think you can make peace with something like this. “You seem to be a person with quite a flowery mind.”

“Even people who originally fought fiercely will join forces when a common task arises. “Try to cheer up.”

Mika deliberately tried to provoke, but Ray ignored the provocation as if it had already been decided.

Mika sighed as if there was nothing he could do about Ray’s attitude.

“There’s no need for the two of us to solve this, right?”

“huh? What does it mean?”

“I’m asking if it’s okay if I solve it on my own.”

“doesn’t care. All you have to do is catch the pickpocket and throw him to the knights.”

“… Please promise me just one thing. “Once I complete this homework, I will no longer do pranks like this.”

“It’s a joke~ What can I say that makes me so upset~? But what… okay. “I promise.”

Ray shrugs his shoulders slyly.

After staring at Ray, Mika left the classroom first.

On the other hand, unlike Mika who went out confidently, Kia was full of worries.

Kia was about to leave the classroom when Ray stopped her.

“Kia. wait for a sec. “I have something to talk about.”

“yes?”

“To be exact, please. “I want to ask you something.”

“wealth… Please!? Ray?! to me?! “You’re not asking me to lend you money, are you?”

“no it’s not.”

Ray said, hitting Kia’s forehead with a bean fist.

Still, the intensity wasn’t that strong, perhaps because he felt sorry for getting hit by the magic circle last time.

“why… Why me… … .”

“Is there any other reason why people ask other people for favors? “I’m asking because I need it.”

Ray walked up to Kia, placed a chair in front of her and sat back.

And while facing her, he first smiled softly and then opened his mouth.

* * *

“Such childish behavior… … .”

Mika left the classroom and quietly walked down an alley painted red in the sunset.

She was grumbling in an uncharacteristic way, perhaps because she was angry at Ray for suddenly giving her a strange homework assignment.

Just like her confident attitude in front of Ray, catching a pickpocket was no problem for her.

And from the time he showed me the homework, he had planned how to complete it.

And that plan didn’t need Kia’s help.

To her, this homework is literally child’s play.

Of course, there is no way that Ray knows his identity, so he did this homework… Ray doesn’t know Mika’s identity.

Mika raised his head.

Where she was looking, the crescent moon was rising on the other side of the sunset.

“I don’t expect you to understand… … .”

‘There’s no way I could understand. Even if it’s you. How can you tell? Because you said it with your own mouth.’

“If you try to learn and fail, you will not understand me in the end.”

This bloody past, my hands soaked in blood.

This curse that binds not only my body, but also my mind and even my shadow.

No matter how much you fail, you cannot understand me.

I have known for a long time that I am the only one in this world who understands me, so I am not that frustrated.

but… Even if you don’t understand… There was something I really wanted to ask him before I die.

“If you were me… “What choice did you make?”

If you were me

If you can kill me… If you have the tenacity to tear even space apart.

Would he have made a different choice than me?

“… “It’s a meaningless assumption.”

Mika headed towards his only home, feeling the slightly cold evening breeze with his eyes filled with rain.

* * *

That night when the crescent moon rose.

Someone was waiting in front of the gate of Itaris Magic School.

“When is this guy coming?”

Ray complained that he was late coming.

It was then.

Someone walked from far away.

Ray knew who he was just by looking at his silhouette and waved his hand.

“Hey~ Jin! come fast!”

“brother!”

The person Ray was waiting for was none other than Jean Bartia.

Jin was walking with several books on either side of him.

Ray ran to meet Jin.

And then he scolded him for coming late.

“Yumma! “Why are you here so late?”

“How many things did you ask for! Plus, some of these books were in our hideout! And the rest were in the Hwangseong Library! How far do you think it is from our hideout to the imperial castle?!”

“Cheet… “But you brought everything, right?”

“Among the list my brother told me.”

“Okay~ Thank you.”

Jin handed over the books he had to Ray.

Ray checked to see if the books were correct, then nodded and thanked Jin.

“This is it.”

“by the way… Why are you looking for a book like this again? “Is there anyone in this country stronger than my brother?”

Jin pointed to the books he brought.

Let’s look at the names of just a few of those books… [Brain anatomy], [Academic research on the brain], [Where are human memories stored?], [Human memory and the principles of hallucination magic], etc… … .

There are some difficult titles, but what the books have in common is that they are all books about human memory and the brain.

There were some books that Ray already had, but some he couldn’t get right away, so he asked Jin to find them at the Imperial Library and bring them to him.

Jin asked with a mixture of anticipation and worry as he watched Ray check the books.

“What is the research for this time? “They say revenge takes a break.”

“Revenge is restless. “This is for something else.”

“Something else?”

“huh.”

“Can’t you tell me too? “Maybe I can help you with something.”

“hmm… I’ll ask you later if I get stuck. “I thought I would study on my own now.”

“Are you hiding it?”

“what… “There is a reason.”

Ray avoided Jin’s gaze.

The reason he hid it from Jin was because it was for Fleur.

If Jin found out, there could be another strange misunderstanding.

Jin looked at Ray with suspicion, but soon trusted Ray and didn’t ask any more questions.

“however… “Why did you ask me to come to school?”

“Yeah… “I sleep here these days.”

“What about home?”

“It was seized.”

“ah… … .”

Jin had a solemn expression in response to Ray’s answer.

“sorry… My house… … .”

“know. Laura told me not to give you any material help. Well, it’s a blessing to be self-employed.”

“That’s what your brother says.”

“Well, because it’s true.”

Ray shrugged his shoulders and put the books Jin had handed him to his side like Jin had done.

After thanking Jin, he smiled and walked towards school.

When Jin saw Ray’s expression, his eyes widened and he asked.

“brother!”

“huh? why?”

“No, that… Something… “I thought your complexion looked good.”

“My complexion was originally good.”

“no… I don’t mean that… that… Nothing!”

“It’s bland. Anyway, thank you for bringing the book.”

Jin watched Ray returning to school late at night.

Jin was worried that Ray might have been frustrated by Laura’s announcement of Innocent’s expulsion, but Ray seemed brighter than he expected.

There was no way that Laura’s disappointment in him would have been indifferent.

I’m sure I’ve found a happy replacement for it.

“… “I’m jealous.”

Jin muttered as he followed Ray’s slowly retreating figure with his eyes.

If it had been Jin in the past, seeing Ray moving away like that, he would have felt anxious about being left alone again… … .

“… cheer up.”

Now Jin believes in his older brother, and as his only younger brother, he just silently supports him on his path.

The next day, after school, Mika left the classroom faster than the other students.

The reason was because of the homework Ray assigned.

It is not easy to spot pickpockets in this wide system.

In that case, the rule is to make the pickpocket come directly.

But even that doesn’t work well if the opponent is a professional.

‘If the opponent is a skilled pickpocket… There’s no way they’ll come and steal your wallet if you’re openly hanging it around. From the beginning, I knew when pickpockets would be active in this wide system. There were 10 pickpocketing incidents reported in the newspapers right away, but they all occurred in different locations and there was no regularity between the periods. So, there is only one way to definitely solve this homework within a week.’

Mika first stopped by an old musical instrument store.

When she came in, various types of instruments, including guitars, violins, flutes, etc., greeted her.

However, the quality of the instruments was not as good as that of other high-end instrument stores, and the reason was the paper stuck to the store walls.

[Instrument rental available at a low price!]

In other words, to be precise, this place can be said to be both a musical instrument store and an instrument rental store.

No matter how much they were maintained, the store owner did not have enough resources to maintain and repair all these instruments on his own, so the instruments had an old-fashioned feel to them.

Among those instruments, Mika walked straight to the desk where the old store owner was.

“Can I rent an instrument here?”

“huh? Yes, no. But why rent it?”

“We’re going to do street performances. “In the square in front of here.”

“Oh, it’s a street performance. Are you alone?”

“yes.”

“That’s amazing. These days, it’s rare to see a child performing on the streets alone.”

The store manager looked happily at Mika, who said he would perform on the street.

“What instrument can you play?”

“Anything is possible.”

“Oh oh… Are you a student in a music-related department?”

“yes… what.”

Mika didn’t want to explain the difficult situation, so he lied.

Then the manager’s eyes brightened even more.

“Hey… That’s cool. Street performance in this day and age. And that too alone. But if you’re a music student, wouldn’t it be better to just buy your own instrument?”

“I have entrusted the repairs to you now.”

“Aha~ I see!”

The store manager quickly agrees to a nonchalant lie.

“What instrument do you want? “I’ll give you a special discount.”

“There’s no need to do that.”

“It’s because it’s so special. “It’s not easy to make music in this day and age.”

‘Ho… ‘This is an unexpected benefit.’

Mika expressed his gratitude to the store manager while maintaining his usual calm expression.

“So what instrument do you want?”

“Do something that will grab people’s attention as much as possible.”

“hmm… Then I guess I should exclude wind instruments. Wind instruments have good sound quality, but their sound is quiet. “What about guitar or violin?”

“That’s good, but… “I think there’s more to it than just that.”

“huh?”

As Mika said this, he pointed to the dusty piano occupying a corner of the musical instrument shop.

The store manager looked at it, touched his chin, and said as if he was troubled.

“It’s a piano… … .”

“it can not?”

“no. It’s not like it can’t be done… “The problem is how to move that big thing.”

“You can use magic to move it.”

“Do you know how to use magic? “You’re so talented!”

“yes… what.”

Mika expressed his gratitude to the manager’s admiration with a still expression on his face.

“Then I will coordinate it. “Would you like to take it right away?”

“yes. please.”

After thanking the kind-hearted manager once more, Mika let the shadow engulf the tuned piano.

At this time, the store manager sat down in shock when he saw the shadow swallowing the piano… … .
