Elenoir: Hey, Igni. Igni: Yes. Elenoir: Theres a transfer student coming in

Igni: Transfer Student?

That morning, as the Homeroom Class was about the end, the teacher, Ms. Elenoir, called Igni over to deliver this information, and Igni tilted his head in wonder.

Igni: A transfer student.so a student from another Wizard Academy? Rolmod is not the only Wizard Academy.

There are numerous other Wizard Academies in other districts and other countries.

Elenoir: Nope. Its not like that......its an Elf thats coming.

Igni: Elf? Elenoir: I was so shocked when I got the news I never thought the Elves would ask us if we would accept a transfer student...it all just happened all of a sudden

Igni: I thought the Elves disliked Humans?

Igni tilts his head again.

Elenoir: Thats right But apparently, they have a better opinion of us since the Quest you handled, Igni

Igni: Really?

Elenoir: So they came to us to ask if they can send a student to take classes at Rolmod Wizard Academy Igni, you must have done an outstanding job Good for you

Igni: Thank you so much.

Igni receives the compliment from Elenoir with a smile.

Igni: So when is the Elf Transfer Student coming?

Elenoir: Its supposed to be tomorrow officially But the student already arrived

Igni: I see. So

Igni: (From tomorrow?) Igni: (Then why was I called now?)

Elenoir: So thats why I wanted to see if you can show the student around the campus. Its just for today

Igni: An Elf Studentcorrect?

Elenoir: Thats right

Igni: Of course, Ill accept!

He gets to skip class and hang around with an Elf Student. Theres no way Igni can refuse an opportunity like that.

Of course! Because Elves can only give birth to females..!

Igni: (This is an opportunity.!)

Igni: (An enormous opportunity..!!)

Elenoir: Then let me introduce her to you Miss Lilly, can you come in?

Igni: ........hm?

Igni was wondering about the familiar name when..Lilly appeared from the next room.

Igni: Lilly!

Lilly: Its been a while, Igni. Before Igni knew it, he was already walking over to her.

Igni: You look well. You had me worried when I couldnt say goodbye to you.

Lilly: I wasnt worried at all though. Lilly still has a pointy personality to save face.

Igni: (Shes too naive..!)

If it was Igni from before, that would have chopped his heart down from the base.

But now, Igni understands Lilly better.

Yes, Lilly is a Tsundere.

Igni: But I was worried.

And with that, Igni takes Lillys hand.

Elenoir: Oh my Lillys face turned bright red and fell silent.

Elenoir: Im so glad Looks like you two already get along so well. Okay, Igni. Im leaving her under your care.

With that last bit from Elenoir, Igni takes Lillys hands and leaves the school premise.

Igni: Lilly, this way. Lilly: ........okay... Lilly responds in a cute voice and follows behind Igni. Everything shes doing is so cute right now.

Igni: Why did you become a transfer student?

Lilly: .........to expand my knowledge of other societies.

Igni: Thats amazing. Youre such a hard worker.

And Igni smiles at her. Just with that, Lilly feels her heart begin to flutter.

Lilly: (WhWhats up with him..sheesh..)

Lilly was trying to give off the adult-aura like Lura and Kurara to impress Igni but was confused instead.

Lilly: (Does he not know that Im older?!)

And though her internal voice is very direct and authoritative.her words seem to fail her when shes in front of Igni.

Igni: Lilly, so this is the Battle Simulation Practice Field.

Lilly: Battle Simulation.? Do you fight here? Igni: Yup. Igni nods, and one of the students using the practice field see Igni and waves her hand.

Igni waves back.

Lilly: WhWho is that?

Igni: Miss Frenda. Ummm..yeah, I fought with her during the Tournament. Lilly: IIs that so Lilly seems a little discouraged.

Lilly: IIgni! Lets go to the next place!

Igni: Then lets go to the Reinforced Gym next.

Lilly: Reinforced Gym? Igni: Ummmmm..well.how do I explain this...Lilly, you know what Spell Geometry is, right? Lilly: Yes. Its the study of creating Spell Inscriptions, correct? Igni: Yes, thats right. So you do those kinds of things, or when youre taking special courses like Alchemy, youll use the Reinforced Gym.its so that even if something explodes, it can withstand the impact.

Lilly: Eexplodes.?

And they walk down the hallway as they speak.

As they walk, they walk past a few classrooms, and Igni saw Miru in one of the classes. She notices Igni and waves a hand in his direction, and Igni waves back.

Lilly: Who is she? Igni: President of the Student Council. Im currently a temp member there.

Lilly: Hmph..

Lilly lets out a gruff breath of dissatisfaction.

Lilly: Igni, you have way too many female acquaintances!

Igni: This school has a lot of girls in general. But youre still special to me, Lilly.

Lilly: WhWhat are you saying all of a sudden?!

Igni: But didnt you do all those things for me back then? Lilly: IIts not fair to bring that up thats

Lilly could not keep her face from blushing as her initial plan with Igni crumbled from its foundation...she couldnt get angry at him and only felt embarrassment.

On the edge of the far east.

There is a place called the [Farthest East] where between the [Demon Kings Realm] and the [Main Continent], there is an island country of Ninjas and Samurais.

So here you were, Abyss.

The country is composed of several dozen islands and on the edge of that country was an uninhabited island.

And inside one man-made structure, there were two shadows.

Over here, they call me Kuroudo. Can you call me by that name, Lucas?

One is Lucas.

And facing him is Abyss. The [Endless Depths] Abyss.

It is the [Extreme] of [Darkness].

Lucas: Youve made me look everywhere. I didnt think that you would be here though.

Abyss: I guess I should be proud that Im so famous now - so famous that one of the [Strongest] Extremes, Mr. [Extreme] of [Light] spends his days looking for me, huh?

Lucas: You have 10 countries posting Wanted Notices for you. Ill need you to come with me.

Abyss: And you think that I wouldnt know this because..? Lucas: Because I do not want to do anything too rash.

Lucas quietly speaks.

Abyss: Idiot! This is my [Territory]. The one who fell into a trap is you, old geezer!!

As soon as he yells, the ground beneath Lucas feet turn gloopy and ropes made from darkness itself wraps around Lucas arms!

Abyss: Die!! [Those who crawl and suffer, DEVOUR HIM]!

From the gloopy ground, countless teeth appear and bite onto Lucas lower body!

Lucas: I told you...I do not want to do anything rash

But Lucas is unaffected.

Just then, Abyss notices.that the lower half of Lucas body is broken down on a molecular level.

Abyss: .....HA! Youre insane as always!

Lucas: Surrender, Abyss.

Abyss: Its you who should be surrendering, Lucas! [Those who crawl out, CAPTURE HIM]!!

<SHURURURU!!> (sfx rope)

A dark mass in the shape of a serpent ties up the rest of Lucas body.

Lucas: [Divide].

One word.

With that one word, with absolute authority, all the darkness surrounding him disperses!

Lucas: You wont need your legs.

Abyss: Shut up!

Lucas: [Penetrate]

Abyss tries to jump back to evade but both his legs blow up <from the inside>.

Abyss: ...........ARGH!! [Darkness, swallow my body.. Lucas: [Disperse]

<FLASH!!!>

A sudden enormous light appears and wipes away all shadows surrounding them!!

Abyss: ...............

All that was left was a charred, smoking human-like body.

Lucas: Well, you wont die just from that.

With that, Lucas leaves the object that used to be Abyss and looks around the [Workshop].

There, he saw a blackboard with [Celestial Globe] and countless calculations scribbled everywhere.

Lucas: ........a study of forbidden Spells. Space-related applications.is this...Dimension-related?

As he looks around, Lucas locates a written report and glances his eyes through the document.

Lucas: This

Lucas draws in a deep breath.

Its no ordinary forbidden Spell.

It has taken all the systematized forbidden Spells to create a hole in the dimension.

Abyss: ..............its to call forth the Angels

The burnt corpse of Abyss suddenly screams out loud.

Lucas: (How did he avoid my attack?)

There, an uninjured Abyss stood back in his original form.

Abyss: Lets go, you old geezer! Its Round 2!!

Lucas: .......I said I didnt want to do anything rash

That day, 3 islands disappeared off the maps.
