A few hours had gone by and before I knew it, it was already late afternoon.
Since Eclara came with me, I had her teach me about normal magic and how it was connected to magic circles. Though few, we also managed to gather some books about magic and magic control. And thanks to Eclara, I and my three companions managed to understand the theory. We then planned to implement those into our magic control tomorrow.
As Eclara continued to teach us, Emilia suddenly sent me a message through a mana screen. By the way, the only people who can make mana screens are me and Emilia. I tried teaching the students, but because I needed to teach them about light waves and sounds, I gave up.
“What’s wrong Emilia?”
“It’s about the Magic Students, Lumina-sama. They’ve started to wake up.”
“Isn’t that supposed to be good?”
“Well…”
Emilia changed the image and showed the situation to me.
“Don’t try touching me you trash!”
“I-I’m sorry!”
“Hmph! Don’t even come in my sights again.”
“Y-yes!”
I spat out a sigh and told Emilia to have that I’m gonna go there. She made a troubled smile and nodded to me. Standing up from my seat, I told Mary and the rest that we were gonna go back.
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
Shin suddenly stood in front of me and asked me a question. I answered his question without looking at him.
“The magic students have started waking up.”
“Really!? Then we gotta hurry back!”
He quickly ran towards Michael and held his hand. He then started chanting magic and wind started to gather around them.
“We’re going ahead.”
“Yes.”
I told Eclara before I covered my body with mana and flew quickly. Mary, Anthony, and Victoria followed behind. Also, along the way, I felt a sudden pain in my abdomen. Since it only lasted a while, I decided to ignore it for now.
Since I was not walking in the sky, the speed we traveled was quite fast and after three minutes, we arrived at the field. I descended from the sky and landed in front of Emilia.
“How many have woken up?”
I quickly asked Emilia as we walked towards the right side of the field.
“Around 30 students have woken up, Lumina-sama. Also, it seems like some of them know Liza and Achil.”
“I see.”
As we walked, I noticed that they have stopped using null element magic. I asked Emilia why. She answered me, that if they continued using null element magic, the magic students may become bewildered. Because, they would see some items were floating in the air. I then remembered that null element magic was invisible to them and accepted her reasoning.
“Ah! Lumina-sama!”
The moment we arrived, Vertical Rolls, Achil, and Frank ran towards me. I looked at the people that they were talking too and for some reason, they were glaring at me.
“So you’re the ringleader behind this incident.”
“No.”
“Stop spouting lies! We know that you were the one that instigated the students to fight against each other!”
“Like I said last night, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
The person who I identified as Achil’s brother started interrogating me for some reason. Like last night, I denied what he said, however, he still thinks that I was lying.
“Haaa~, why do you keep implying, that I was the cause for all of this? Look, I was one of the victims here.”
“You have connections with that ‘thing’!”
“That ‘thing’?”
I tilted my head to the side and glanced at Emilia. She looked like she also didn’t understand who they were referring to.
“He’s talking about the one that followed you into the library, Lumina-sama.”
I clapped my hands when Vertical Rolls told me who the ‘thing’ was. Facing Achil’s brother, I started answering him with half-open eyes.
“I only met him today and you're now thinking that I know him? Don’t be ridiculous.”
“You bastard! Don’t try lying your way out! You told us that Eclara’s your servant and she usually spends her time with that ‘thing’ and its summoner.”
Placing a hand on my forehead, I spat a sigh and answered him.
“I only told her to observe him. Rumors about a human getting summoned by magic also reached us as well. So I became curious so I had Eclara observe him.”
(I didn’t receive any reports from her for two weeks though. But it’s okay, I understand that they were having a hard time then.)
“…”
“If you don’t believe me, then that’s up to you.”
Achil’s brother became quiet and started glaring at me.
Crash!!!*
“You trash student! How dare you spill water on me!”
I suddenly the sound of glass breaking and the shout of a student near us. Directing my gaze to the source, I found a magic student kicking a general student. I became angry and decided to stop them.
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
“Stop it.”
With a very cold tone, I told them the magic student to stop kicking the general student. The magic student quivered his shoulders and fearfully looked at us. When he saw that I was only a general students, his fearful look disappeared and was replaced with a look of contempt.
“You’re just trash! Trashes like you should be quiet and obey us, Elites.”
“…”
I narrowed my eyes at the magic student. I then approached the general student and ignored the magic student.
“Are you okay?”
“Y-y-yes.”
When I approached her, I saw that her body was covered with a thin layer of mana. Unconsciously, I smiled at the student and helped her stand up. The magic student became pissed at me and grabbed my shoulder.
In that instant, Emilia and Vertical Rolls approached the magic student and grabbed his hand. I sent the general student away before I faced the magic student.
“You called us trash right?”
“What’s wrong with calling trash, trash?”
Looking at Emilia from the corner of my eyes, I said:
“Emilia, though I knew that you meant well, but I think that helping them was wrong.”
“I’m sorry it was my mistake, Lumina-sama.”
“It’s fine. Tell the students to go back to the dormitory and gather as many foodstuff as possible.”
“… Yes.”
“Oi! Don’t ignore me you trash!”
The magic student became angry and made three fireballs appear in front of him.
(Oh, he can use magic without chanting?)
While I thought of that, the magic student launched the fireball at me. I then made a vacuum surround the three fireballs, extinguishing them before it approached me.
“““ Huh?”””
The magic students and Achil’s brother’s companions all wore stunned expression when they saw the fireballs disappear.
Looking at them with a scowl, I told them using the coldest tone I could make.
“Fine, then us trashes will disappear. Hopefully, you can save the rest of your schoolmates.”
I faced my back towards them and left the place. Emilia also followed after me. Vertical Rolls and her friends glared at them for a while before following me.
“I don’t know whether it’s fortunate or unfortunate, but the heirs of the four families are still unconscious.”
Vertical rolls told me as she walked beside me.
“They were here!?”
“Yes, I, Achil, and Frank were the ones who cared for them when they were unconscious.”
I pondered for a while and asked her with a questioning look.
“Then does that mean that their servants and your younger sisters were nearby back there?”
“Yes.”
Vertical Rolls became dejected as she hung her head. I patted her head and to comfort her.
“By the way Lumina-sama, why did you have the students gather the foodstuff in the dormitory?”
“It's cause we're moving.”
“““““““?”””””””
The seven of them floated question marks as they waited for me to continue.
Giggling a bit, I pointed up to the sky and said:
“Since they don’t want to see us, then we’ll move up there. Besides, we can use null element magic to make beds and rooms. Also, we can ethereal shift things like knives and pans for cooking.”
The seven of them became surprised and when they had understood what I mean, vicious smiles floated on their faces.
“So, did you make sure to order the students to take ‘all’ the food?”
“Ah, I didn’t. I’m so sorry Lumina-sama. I’ll tell them now.”
Emilia made a mana screen and started talking to it. Straining my ears, I could hear that the students who received the order laughed when they understood the order.
“Ahh, right. Tell them to also gather their clothes. I have a hunch that the magic students will go to our dorms to sleep.”
“Yes.”
Right after I told that to Emilia, a gust of wind disheveled my hair. I know who the culprit was and he also did the same thing to me earlier. I made a mana brush and did my best to control my anger.
“… Shin.”
“Hmmm? Where’s are you going? I thought you were gonna meet with the magic students?”
“….”
I walked passed him and brushed my hair. He followed us and continued to ask us. However, all of us ignored him until we reached the dorms.
