(EP-130.2) Nova #1


    130 – Ars Nova #1


    It was only after a few minutester that Professor Bn finally stopped crying.


    “Professor Bn is still not stable. I hope Lady Draco understands.”


    Just then, Hynax exined Professor Bn’s condition.


    “Until recently, she had been undergoing psychiatric treatment under the supervision of high-ranking priests. It’s only now that she reached a level where she could return to her daily life.”


    I then remembered when Professor Bn literally turned into a monster.


    Looking back now, I was amazed at how I managed to defeat her.


    After losing control of her body and getting manipted by a monster for a long time, it was inevitable that she would be left with significant trauma.


    However, Mirna asked in a rather calm voice.


    “Professor Bn, do you remember what you did?”


    “Yes, my Lady. Although it is somewhat blurred… I remember everything.”


    “So, you remember desecrating our Draco Family’s cemetery and inflicting immense damage on our family?”


    “Th, that….”


    Professor Bn trembled anxiously. Thanks to this, her chest that was hidden under the ck dress started heaving up and down.


    She eventually sighed and nodded.


    “… I remember everything. The gue spreading in the Draco Family, the killing…”


    “As expected.”


    Mirna unfolded her fan and said as if she had guessed right.


    So, if we were to piece the story together, it would mean that Professor Bn was the one responsible for bringing destruction upon Mirna’s family.


    To be more precise, it would be the magic that controlled her, Gamigin.


    Speaking of, a question suddenly popped into my mind. So I asked the trembling Bn.


    “Professor, how did you end up being controlled by such a bizarre curse? If possible, I would appreciate a detailed exnation.”


    “That’s, well….”


    Her red eyes anxiously darted around. Soon, she started talking as if she had resigned herself to make a decision.


    “It happened when I was still a student-. We entered a dungeon and found a strange spell. As for what happened next… When I woke up, I was the only one who survived….”


    “You mean you found a magic circle in the dungeon? Are you talking about this?”


    I quickly sketched a magic circle on the paper lying on the table, which was the Gamigin’s spell that I’d recently acquired.


    Seeing this, Bn was startled and immediately covered her eyes.


    “Pl, please put it away!”


    “Understood. So was this it?”


    “Yes…. It imed to lead me to the source of great truth. But it was a lie. I was thoroughly manipted….”


    “By ‘it’ , are you talking about the magic spell?”


    “Yes.”


    Having heard Bn’s story, the Sages around usmented with “Hooo’s!” or “Huh’s.” Then the Brown bearded Sage asked.


    “Professor Bn, are you saying you were talking to a spell?”


    “Y, yes.”


    “Did it possess consciousness?”


    “Yes. And it’s not just this one. The Demon King’s magic is still in this world, gradually eating it away.”


    Paseuseusuk-.


    Bn ruffled her hair while trembling. Her condition didn’t look good, but I had no choice but to ask her more.


    “You mean there are other spells like Gamigin?”


    In response to my question, Mirna, who made a long nasal noise, answered instead.


    “Indeed, it seems that the Demon King’s magic still lingers in the world.”


    With Mirna’s words, the Sages let out murmurs of acknowledgement. I could sense it, and I assume Mirna had also naturally noticed the subtle cues.


    Folding her fan, Mirna asked the Sages.


    “I know you are hiding something. I believe I, Mirna of the Draco Family, have the right to know about it.”


    “Heuuum.”


    Hynax, the White Sage, sat on his chair with a somber look. But just as he was about to open his mouth, someone beat him to it first.


    “Solomon-!”


    It was the ck Mage Pelto. The man who was said to have gone crazy after reaching the 6th Rank. At this development, everyone began to listen in.


    Hynax asked.


    “Sir Pelto, do you have something to say?”


    In response to Hynax’s question, the ck Mage Pelto began making strange sounds like “Euggreuk-” while his body contorted.


    It was as if he was trying to resist something, or suffering from a mosquito bite on his back.


    Then he finally stretched out his bony, old tree-like hand and pointed at me.


    “Solomon, Ars Nova.”<ul> <li>Edited by: faker</li> </ul>
