709.

That evening.

The atmosphere at the Clock Tower Dormitory was quite different from the awkward morning.

“Don’t cross over here! I warned you!”

“You guys just try crossing over!”

In the common garden, the freshmen had drawn lines and were growling at each other.

They were students from the Summoning Department and the Department of Magic.

Cal, who was watching this scene from the common garden, clicked his tongue.

“They really became complete enemies in just one day.”

As Cal clicked his tongue, Eliza, who was sipping tea in front of him, responded.

“Because Leo Flobe wanted this kind of thing.”

“How was Professor Yura’s class?”

At Cal’s question, Eliza curled up the corners of her mouth.

“Planning to figure out the Summoning Department’s movements through me?”

“Information is important. I’m thinking of continuing to actively interact with students from other departments if possible.”

“Really? Good luck with that.”

“So? How was Professor Yura’s class?”

“Hmm? Empty-handed?”

As Eliza rolled her eyes, Cal took out a small bundle from his chest and placed it on the table.

When he checked the contents, there was a small glass bottle containing glass beads.

“Crystal Fruit?”

Eliza also showed a slightly surprised expression.

It was food that magical beasts liked, and could increase intimacy with magical beasts, so it had very high preference among summoners.

Instead, it was an extremely precious item that could only be obtained in deep forests where natural energy was concentrated, so even Eliza, the heir of the Hergin family, had difficulty obtaining it easily.

“I got it from Lumeria City.”

“Seems quite expensive for the price of information?”

As Eliza made a suspicious expression, Cal shrugged his shoulders.

“Because I want to look good to you.”

“What?”

Eliza was flustered by the sudden words.

Seeing such Eliza, Cal laughed.

“My store opens next month. You have to listen to my request then.”

“….”

“But no matter how I think about it, you might hit me when you get angry after it’s over.”

Cal made a serious expression.

Eliza had promised Cal last year that when she advanced to third year, she would grant whatever he wanted within reasonable limits.

What Cal asked of such Eliza was one thing.

Cal’s store.

That is, to become a clerk at Cal’s general store opening in Lumeria City.

Among students, quite many go out to Lumeria City for short-term part-time jobs on weekends.

Because attending Lumern creates many places where money needs to be spent.

One of the most representative part-time jobs was private tutoring.

Every year, those wanting to enter Lumern pour in from all over the world.

As such, there are many who want to receive private instruction from students already admitted to Lumern.

Of course, due to Lumern’s academic culture where students must endlessly develop themselves and compete with other students, there weren’t as many students as expected who would spend weekend time teaching others.

But anyway, it was a preferred part-time job because a lot of money could be earned.

Besides that, there are also students who handle requests that don’t flow into Lumern Academy.

Knight Department students take subjugation or escort requests.

Department of Magic students take assistant requests for famous mages.

Summoning Department students take requests to calm the anger of fairies or magical beasts that have become enraged and are causing harm to humans.

The fields are diverse.

But students working as store clerks are rarely found.

“….”

Seeing Eliza remain silent, Cal took out another prettily wrapped bundle.

“And this.”

“What is it?”

“Our store clerk outfit. I designed it myself.”

“What exactly do you think of me, the heir of the Hergin family?”

“Heh. A part-timer I’ll have to serve as master from now on?”

Cal gave a thumbs up.

“If you work as a clerk, the store’s promotional effect will definitely be tremendous.”

“Just you being the store owner should be enough, right?”

Cal was already a world-famous figure.

“Hey. Is one person the same as two? And you’re pretty, right? Even just for that, there will be a lot of customers who become regulars, right?”

“…Why did I ever make such a stupid promise.”

Eliza grumbled.

“Well, since our business is finished, I’ll get up.”

“You’re leaving?”

“Since it’s a department war, if I keep talking with you, the kids will look at us strangely.”

“You called me just to deliver one measly task? You could have done it by letter. Do I look like such a leisurely person to you?”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t have time to spare for you, you know? You’ll have to compensate me.”

“Then how should I compensate you?”

Eliza pointed with her finger to a restaurant in one part of the central garden.

It was a high-end restaurant so expensive that students hardly ever used it.

“Treat me.”

Cal made an expression like he was about to cry, but Eliza didn’t bat an eye.

“I know you have a lot of money.”

At those words, Cal sighed and took Eliza toward the high-end restaurant.

When they arrived at the restaurant, as expected, there wasn’t a single student there.

A staff member guided the two inside.

Eliza, who sat by the window, looked at the menu.

Cal silently gazed at the garden scenery.

Then he suddenly realized something.

“Eliza.”

“What?”

“You’ve been to that maze in the garden too, right?”

“Yeah.”

The maze made of garden trees.

The place called the wooden maze among students had an incredibly complex interior.

Inside the maze, mana couldn’t be used either, making it very difficult to escape.

“Why the maze all of a sudden?”

“Have you ever been to the center of that maze?”

“I haven’t been there.”

“What about students who have been there? As far as I know, there aren’t any.”

“….”

Eliza fell silent.

Cal was an information broker among students.

He knew all sorts of trivial information.

If such Cal had never heard of it, it meant that no student had yet reached the center of the maze.

“It seems like we’re thinking the same thing?”

As Cal grinned, Eliza lowered her gaze to the menu and said.

“Starting tomorrow, there’s going to be chaos with everyone trying to conquer that maze.”

“Let’s conquer it together, just the two of us.”

“What?”

Eliza looked back at Cal.

“Students will start catching on soon. Let’s conquer it before that happens.”

“Why should I conquer it with just you? I could do it with the Summoning Department kids.”

“If too many people find out, we’ll have to compete fiercely. We’ll face tons of interference too.”

Cal shrugged his shoulders.

“When that happens, the Knight Department kids will catch on too. Think about it – with people swarming everywhere, could we do it properly? It’s better to form a temporary alliance and conquer it with just you and me. How about it?”

At Cal’s question, Eliza nodded.

“Not bad.”

“Then let’s meet tonight at 1 AM under the scoreboard in the Central Hall.”

“Got it.”

***

Night fell over the dormitory.

The interior of the dormitory was quiet as curfew time arrived.

Click- Click-

In the midst of this, the sound of someone walking echoed through the corridor.

The person who reached the front of a room took a deep breath, then Artion opened the door.

Click-

“Student Leo. I’m here.”

The place Artion entered after opening the door was Leo’s room.

Late at night.

The reason Artion came to Leo’s room was for the spirit magic tutoring they had promised earlier.

“Hello, Professor.”

“Being with a student this late at night feels refreshing.”

“Please take care of me.”

“Yes. I’ll teach you various things well.”

Artion laughed cheerfully and clapped her hands.

“Now then, first.”

“First?”

“Take it off.”

“…”

Leo stared intently at Artion.

Seeing Leo like this, Artion pointed to her own top and said.

“Take off your top, Student Leo.”

“Why?”

“Student Leo should already understand the theory of spirit magic, right? I thought we could jump straight into practical application.”

Though he wondered if it was necessary to take off his top for practical lessons, Leo didn’t know much about spirit magic in depth.

When Leo obediently took off his top, Artion stared intently at him.

Then she admired and poked at Leo’s abs.

“I expected it, but Student Leo really has a great body.”

“I train regularly.”

“Right. Still, I’ve seen quite a few men’s bodies, but there were hardly any with a body as good as Student Leo’s.”

“You’ve had many occasions to see them?”

“Yes. I have a lot of experience because of spirit magic.”

Artion smiled and took out a brush, dagger, and plate from the bag she brought.

“Student Leo, would you sit on the floor?”

At those words, Leo sat on the floor.

Artion, who sat behind Leo, cut her palm with the dagger, creating a wound.

Then she collected the flowing blood in the plate.

A moment later.

After stopping the bleeding, Artion dipped the brush in her own blood from the plate with practiced movements.

“It might tickle a little.”

Artion began drawing circular patterns on Leo’s back.

“Even before coming to Lumern, I taught summoning magic. Among them, many people wanted to learn spirit magic.”

Artion spoke while drawing the summoning circle.

“I conducted lessons like this back then too.”

“I see.”

Artion, who had finished drawing the summoning circle on Leo’s back, moved.

Though the summoning circle on his back was complete, there were still many places on his body that needed to be drawn.

Placing the brush on Leo’s chest, Artion giggled.

“Student Leo, you had strange thoughts, didn’t you?”

“You spoke strangely.”

“I’ve never even dated once in my life. Everyone says I’m scary.”

‘You are scary though.’

He didn’t say it out loud for fear of hurting her feelings.

Artion, who had completed the summoning circle on Leo’s body, sat in front of Leo and said.

“Spirit magic is actually very simple.”

“Simple?”

“Yes. You just close your eyes and summon.”

‘Professor Artion is also from the Arron family.’

Even those born with talent rarely handle their abilities perfectly from the start.

Literally the genius type who thinks ‘why can’t you do this?’

Artion licked her lips and said.

“Well, I heard that even among those with spirit magic talent, many can’t do it like me. So I did a lot of research.”

Fortunately, she seemed to know that others couldn’t do it like her.

“Has anyone been able to use spirit magic after learning from you, Professor?”

“Unfortunately, all the people I taught had no talent for spirit magic. Instead, I shared the method I researched with other spiritualists, and there were people who succeeded in summoning spirits by training with that method.”

At the very least, it meant Artion’s training method was effective.

“What I’ll teach Student Leo today is that introductory stage.”

“Introductory stage?”

“Soul summoning.”

Artion made eye contact with Leo and said.

“I’ll teach you the technique of summoning spirits in an unconscious state.”
