Chapter 72: Protect the Girl!

With the girl before their eyes, Igni and his group stood there until Alicia broke the silence.

Alicia: LLets go ahead and put her in the [Coffin] for now.

Igni: YYeah

Both Igni and Alicias movements were awkward with uncertainty as they placed the girls body inside the black coffin. As soon as she was inside, the density of the Magic Power surrounding them lessened drastically, and it was easier to breathe.

Sensing that, the three understood now without a doubt.

Igni: ..........so she really was the Magic Power source of the [Demon Kings Realm]...

This girl was the source of all the calamity and chaos.

Alicia: Im going to close it.

Alicia closes the coffin.

Moments later, the Magic Power that was flooding the area began to diminish.

Actually, it wasnt diminishing. It was just that the source of the Magic Power was sealed so the Magic Power level of the room stopped and remained stagnant.

Alicia: WhWhat are we going to do, Igni? Igni: .........give me a little time to think In Ignis plans, the source of the Magic Power was supposed to be the [Demon King]s corpse. Thats why after they recovered the body, they were going to hand over the corpse to the Empires Research Division to dispose of it.

Alicia agreed that they would accept it <with open arms>, so there shouldnt have been any problems...at least, thats how it was supposed to go.

Mila: Igni, Alicia, the Rolmod Wizard Academy will take her in and protect her for now.

It was the first time Mila spoke in a solemn, serious tone.

Igni: Take her.to the school..?

Mila: This girl is not the Demon King. Theres no need to kill her..but the fact of the matter is, the [Demon King]s Magic Power is overflowing out of her body. We cannot just take her anywhere, right? But...if the girl is a victim of the [Great War], then we have a duty to protect her. Dont you think?

Igni: Protect her at the school..will it really be possible?

Mila: Of course it is! Put some faith in your teachers. Besides..I need to ask her how she ended up this way.

Igni: Thats true...just leaving things as they are..theres just too many unanswered questions at this point.

The [Demon King] died. Everyone knows that.

And it was also well known that the [Demon Kings Realm]s absurdly high and dense Magic Power was due to the [Demon King] as well.

But in reality

Mila: Well, anyways, lets go back for now.

Igni: Yes.

Igni picks up the coffin on his shoulders and.

Mila: [Teleport] {Open}

Mila opens the way back home.

She must have incorporated a return [Path] into the Magic Inscription that sent them to the [Demon Kings Realm].

Everything goes white before Igni and his groups eyes and..before they knew what happened, they stood on top of the Rolmod Wizard Academys rooftop.

Mila: For now, just follow me.

Mila immediately begins to walk ahead.

Igni and Alicia look at one another...and then follow after Mila.

Mila: The Rolmod Wizard Academy was originally a Research Facility to study [Magic].

As they go deeper and deeper, they head to the deepest room as Mila speaks to them.

Mila: Because of that, here, the faculty here all study and research Spells as we teach students.

Igni: I see... so thats why. Mila: Yeah. Well, anyone who knows the history of the school could have told you this. But if you think about it, why do you think we began researching [Magic] in the first place? Igni thinks for a moment before answering Milas question.

Igni: Was it to fight other countries? .was his answer.

Mila: Nope. Its not. But I do understand where youre coming from. Its true that the Kingdoms greatest enemy is all the countries surrounding it

Mila laughs.

Mila: But for those who survived the [Great War], the number one enemy of humanity...will always be the [Demon King].

Igni: .............. Mila: Thats why in order to oppose the [Demon King], we created and developed countless Spells as counter measures. Attack Spells, Defensive Spells and.Sealing Spells.

They were in the farthest room, in the deepest part of the building.

Students were prohibited from entering this section - but in that place, it was there.

Mila: Well be able to go down using this. Alicia: Is this.an elevator?

It was Alicia who spoke up now.

Igni: (Huh.? Whats that?)

Igni is the only one who doesnt know anything about it and tilts his head.

Mila: Thats right. Alicia, youre very knowledgeable.

Alicia: Yes, well, last year or the year before...we also built one at home.

Mila: Thats right. I heard from somewhere that the Empires Castle also built one

Without any explanation, Igni enters the elevator and

Mila: Well be going down.

A weird sensation overcame his body as they descended.

Igni: WHOA! What is this?!

Mila: Its an automated Magic Artifact that helps you ascend and descend freely. They made sure that it only responds to the schools faculties Magic Power though

And the three descend deeper and deeper..to the underground of the Rolmod Wizard Academy.

Mila: And this is just a continuation of what were talking about before..but in order to study [Magic], there was something that was absolutely necessary. Do you know what that is? Igni: In order to research..

Igni pauses to think once more and

Igni: A place? Maybe?

Mila: Thats right! In order to study something as unpredictable as [Magic], we needed a place where we could fire off the [Magic]!! Thats why we built a place underneath the Rolmod Wizard Academys deep beneath the ground. Youll see it soon. The elevator stops with a loud, mechanical <CLANK>, and the three reach the bottom.

Mila: A room with the utmost and best anti-Magic Defense Walls!

Igni: ........this is.. They arrived at a room that was completely scarlet in all directions.

Alicia: [Crimson Crystals]........but...theres so much..!

Alicias eyes widen as she realizes what the room is made of.

Everything in the room from the floor to the ceiling was made from the <most potent anti-magic material> !

Igni: [Crimson Crystal].....? You mean that [Crimson Crystal] which it is said to even withstand Dragons Breath..? That same crystal??

Mila: Thats right! Igni and Alicia, you both get high marks for knowing that!

A single gram of it would be traded for several hundred gold pieces. It is a material that is that insanely expensive.

If you just have a handful of it, you could sell it and live off the profits for the rest of your life.

Igni: They..covered the entire room with it?!

Mila: Isnt it amazing. In all of the world, this is the only room of its kind.

Mila takes Ignis hand and beckons him to the center of the room.

Mila: Okay, lets let her out of the coffin.

Igni places the coffin he was carrying down and..opens the lid.

<GOH!!> (sfx sudden wind)

An incredible amount of Magic Power of the [Demon Kings Realm] swirls and floods out into the room but.the [Crimson Crystals] counter and nullify the Magic Power.

No.its not nullifying it.

Its just completely sealing it in.

Igni: Ms. Mila, shes still asleep.

Mila: I see. Then well just have to wait till.

But before Mila could finish her sentence, the girls eyes opened.

.........!!

Her eyes <meets Ignis>.

Igni: (.........she has beautiful eyes.)

An almost transparent, violet eyes.

They gaze deeply into each others eyes.

But as soon as she does, Igni saw something flicker mysteriously in hers.

Igni: (......she has mysterious eyes. It feels the same as Grandpas [Assessment] in many ways.

? {untranslated, original text meant to represent an unknown language}

And the girl began to speak.

And she continued to speak in words that Igni couldnt understand.

Igni: .......her words.. Mila: Oh, I may be able to understand.

But as soon as Mila steps forward

With a <BAM!!>, the girl jumps out of the coffin noisily and hides behind Ignis back.

Mila: ......ummmmmm..?

Mila tilts her head.

In the confusion, Alicia also tried to step in but

With that, she grabs and drags Ignis body to the wall of the room and retreats.

Igni: ........MMs. Mila, Alicia..could you wait there for a moment? Alicia: YYeah.

Bewildered, the two just stand there with their heads tilted.

Yes, the two wouldnt understand.

But its not their fault either.

But the hands that grabbed Ignis clothes were.shaking terribly in fear.

Igni: (.......cmon me! You can do this! You can find a way to reassure her!!)

And Igni pumps himself up with motivation.

Igni: (Women loves men who can make them feel safe!!)
