Chapter 31: Teleportation (1)
HyKOlder instructors possessed looks of disapproval at the relentless debate. Nevertheless, the reason they remained silent was because the rank of the two that were arguing was higher.EOiSef
gYlSiena and Thadd were both active as certified Grade 6 mages while only being in their mid-20s. Not to mention Ethella, who was also the pride of the Alpheas Magic Academy.5Tf
5MvL3uHThe argument showed no sign of abating. Ethella tried to intervene, but no side yielded.tZedYY
EVT7Alpheas was just smiling. If you didnt have a passion to teach, it was impossible to fight like that.Tgobn
1vohVzvThadd wanted the development of his alma mater, while Siena wanted the growth of her students. If one was an instructor, they would have to side with Siena, but it wasn’t that they couldnt understand Thadds side as well.0OAJ
Sh6fj“Ive heard both of your opinions well. I understand your positions, so let’s stop and take a seat.”vSd04
kQXM0UAs soon as Alpheas’ words fell from his mouth, Siena and Thadd listened and stopped arguing like two obedient puppies. The only thing they had in common would be their respect for Alpheas.pkVrh
2ug“I find both sides’ arguments and points to be valid. Ms. Sienas words are logical, but we’re also instructors. Shouldn’t we avoid prejudice and favoritism?jp8JtO
JWgp“That’s exactly what I’m saying, headmaster.”eeUI
gDDDnThadd laughed and Sina was expressionless But Alpheas wasnt done. After carefully devising something, he revealed his idea with a big smile.4aFj
v9545“That is why we should How about it?”A5hPMYJ

uSUTForA single official notice was pinned on the bulletin board of the Intermediate class building.UJoY
fksRnbDozens of students gathered in front of the bulletin board and were shocked at the contents of the official notice.kE9yL
1n3This was the first time in the history of the Alpheas Magic Academy that a promotion was open to a whole class. In this case, Class 7.bn8kae
Nh1The main gist of the notice was this.qqVEQ
kTUGPWe are providing an early promotion opportunity for all of Class 7. We will only pick one person who is eligible for promotion and the moment they pass the exam, they will be promoted to Class 5. As we fully acknowledge the students concerns, this evaluation will be graded in terms of magic and not Spirit Zone.gOvTB
LVbnPThe subject of evaluation is teleportation.oVgAro
Uva59i“T-Teleportation? I don’t know how to do it. Can you do it?”0fiqOX
W6V4Gu“No, of course I can’t. It’s an official Class 5 designated magic.Ee2jYkL
IqQ“I’ve done it once. But it was so scary that I dont dare to try again.Ninj0OA
rrMZ“You stupid! It’s easy if you follow the original formula. The problem is that its just so difficult to apply.”NoIf
FshnMThe noisy children suddenly died down. Shirone was walking their way. Arriving at the bulletin board whilst under many different stares, he read the official notice. This was the conclusion reached by the instructors.dvyk

VUrh1wShirone engraved the word and concept in his mind.dtH

kAFPJyDThe so-called Class 7 bullying incident interested the upperclassmen. In particular, because the target was Shirone, there was a lot of talk due to that fact.9Mp5GU
l2prP“Oh my God! Something like that happened? Amy, did you know?67TM3PN
eCGAmy, who only checked the bulletin board at the end of the day, read the official notice and frowned. When Sharelle informed her of the specifics of the rumors, her knuckles turned white.sJLJo1
oVswaYou were being bullied? Is it because of me too?rRdFr1D
BOFAccording to Sharelle, some of her classmates dont even make eye contact when looking at Shirone. Moreover, there were some who even antagonized Amy during integrated classes.0pCn
nkTbJ“What do you think? I mean, they are kids from Class 7. Actually, I went through something similar, but since I was promoted quickly, nothing happened.”FVc
9Z32Bullying and Isolation are not things that can be excused just because one is young. If we start thinking that its okay, then shouldnt we be doing the same things? After all, were also young.WXr0
rCLOJi“We’re in Class 4. Magic requires maturity and a lot of mental and emotional control, so age cant matter.CHOn4
wGMAmy didn’t want to argue about this or that. In fact, she couldn’t think of anything because her mind was a mess. Amy was just angry that Shirone was being tormented and was suffering.2VeQX
sG3yH“Stupid! Why didn’t he tell me?ME0
MyLLIf he had been honest and discussed it with me, we could have come up with a better solution!1UV
Jw98cShe was certain they would have. Popularity aside, she was still at the top of Class 4. And Shirone was dating her. Thinking about the possible things Shirone had to go through angered Amy. She was angry in fact that one could mistake her for the victim.T1o
MLeL“I need to go see Shirone.9wNt
BzJ“Thats no problem, but what are you going to do?”O3IRK
qhB“Well first, Im going to hit him once. Then Ill get all of Class 7 to assemble. I should be able to do at least that since were in a relationship.O866jSk
EB1D“What? Are you crazy?!”l2r
r4OKNa“What do you mean? So you want me to sit still and do nothing? This happened because of me.”tejcZ
X55O“Gosh, you really don’t know men. Do you know why he didn’t tell you? It’s because it would hurt his pride. What do you think will happen if you go and assemble all of Class 7 hmm?7hNenUT
wyXcetAmy couldn’t understand. The only reason he didnt even make eye contact with her was because he was scared of Class 7 children?2SRF
GImuG6TIt was Amy whose pride was hurt by this incident.TIbWO

Ex9MK* * *eAt
dzW“Men, you know, like to be recognized. Men live for pride and die for pride. But since hes getting bullied, do you think hed tell that to the girl he likes?0r5xCQz
1t3Z5bHThere was some truth in what Sharelle was saying, but that was only in the case of those who were in a really loving relationship. How could she know that Shirone and Amy were in a fake relationship?hdm8Y
tFzmoD2He must be thinking that he stepped on poop because of me. That’s why hes avoiding me.OZd
UFZlSharelle viewed the school’s initiative positively.5MSlj4k
Ymc1Rb“But isn’t that a relief? If he passes the promotion exam, he will enter Class 5. They did really well in choosing teleportation as the subject of evaluation. All of the Class 7 students will need to learn from scratch.Sv4
AIXFAmy’s thoughts were different. There was a difference between having a broad understanding of the magic type and understanding the specific spell.sLoboq
DCDiI62And whats more. It was teleportation magic.3lyOg
aFQPRAWhen learning teleportation, the most important thing was to overcome fear. It was on a whole other level compared to flight magic in terms of speed and the perception of things during transit. Just knowing of the fact that you could teleport into something and lose your life was deterrent enough for many.iU8jUFz
gaU“Come to think of it, isn’t this a very dangerous test? What are the teachers thinking?”ikfXyi
Cv7Q“Im sure they will adjust the difficulty level appropriately. They could also just be testing the students’ passion and bravery. More than half of Class 7 will probably take the test.8Yy19l
lYRs“What? That much even though theyve never been taught teleportation?yCnp
zqEMGEy“The passing reward is being raised up to Class 5. And it’s all about learning from scratch. If I were in their position, I would totally go for it.VLcS
q5aDxwAmy couldn’t get rid of the uncomfortable feeling. Perhaps the students who took the test would practice intensively with help from their seniors or a dedicated teacher. It was clear that the students who were planning to take the exam would practice intensively with the help of their upperclassmen or with their exclusive instructor.vstc
7wTVRzShirone, on the other hand, was not so lucky. Having an exclusive teacher was definitely out of the picture, and he did not even have any friends to ask for advice.hIHq
phznAt this point, what if he doesnt succeed?gWY34
Nzi2Although Shirones talent was acknowledged, in the short run, the exam could never guarantee his passing.WYRdgch
UOmMDp“Right! Amy, why don’t you help? Take this opportunity to make up with him.”VMSE
mZjl“Hmph! He didnt even say a word about being bullied, you think hell accept my help? Im just going to keep pretending like I know nothing.”QRS
4CZR9k5“Ugh, you guys are really something. If you like each other, just like each other. Whats the problem with you two?Ahfzrf
uj5M“Mind your own business, this is our way of dating. Its not like I’m free anyway. The Advanced class promotion exam is just around the corner.”f9ehW
etWNflz“Oh, right! I forgot about that. Sorry.”0XGF
V2elIhNothing was more important to a student than promotion. No matter how smart Amy was, she couldn’t afford to lose focus if she wanted to overcome the high barrier of being promoted to the Advanced class.IDd1
DKTRM6c“Hell be fine on his own. If he cant do even that, he shouldnt be allowed to be called my lover.”p6C7
rwWnTurning away from the bulletin board, Amy continued to speak inwardly.e71F
QYiEven if hes a fake one.EK2L7

65hAround midnight.Uxh4Exz
1Yfgr5A masked figure infiltrated the garden of the men’s dormitory. As they moved forward, no sound could be heard, not even the rustling of grass. When they checked that the light on the 7th floor of the building was on, they scratched their head in annoyance.AZK
BE75wI am NOT doing this because it bothers me. I’m only helping because I feel a sense of responsibility!LPaHbA6
00puIoAmy ground her teeth. Even though she tried to forget and move on, she couldn’t concentrate on her studying because she was worried about Shirone.vzyq8C
4Tk“Yall better watch your backs! I’ll make you all kneel and beg for forgiveness once Shirone passes!”Rus
3W7Amy climbed the wall to the 7th floor. If rumors spread that she had crossed the threshold of the men’s dormitory at night, she would not be able to carry her head high anymore. But at the same time, her old playfulness went nowhere.BelO
FC8udHoho, since this is already happening, may as well surprise him enough to make his heart jump out of his ribcage.kiWxAO
sTQUhAmy did a forward roll as soon as she opened the window. The calculations were made upon her landing. She was going to subdue Shirone and throw him on the bed. Then twist his arm to the point that it would make him scream.HOcKmL
uXOwtYt“Huh?”mQIGc
D3WpEygBut Amy couldn’t even take one step. Shirone stared at her with eyes that screamed surprise. And next to him was Ms. Siena, who was sitting on a chair.nLCr
eLE2“T-Teacher?1qo6jR
xwSynVG“Are you Amy?rm24B
Kx4qTSiena adjusted her glasses and looked again. It was clear that the trespasser was Amy as she was the only student with red hair and thick, double-eyelid eyes.mMmU
D6GShe knew Amy was dating Shirone, but she thought that they were both focusing on their own goals. However, after she thought about it once more, and considering the current situation, she couldn’t help but feel that what they were doing was absurd and deceitful.UY2tz
o2aQ30N“Do you guys meet like this all the time? Pretending you don’t know each other during the day whilst secretly enjoying meetings at night?7WV
ZAmQ6n“I-Its a misunderstanding! That is a huge misunderstanding!”aWijo5N
nAbSiena hurriedly placed a finger over her mouth.1xYlZA5
KLE“Shh! The room over will hear.”vDX
GaOJ920Amy covered her mouth and looked at the room next door. This was the mens dormitory. If rumors spread that a woman’s voice was heard in Shirone’s room, the first suspect would unconditionally be herself. Well, even if that happened, she had nothing to say.Uza99
3ANzcP“No, wait! Forget about me for a second, what brings you here? At this hour?”hYeof7
z3cFCome to think of it, it was Ms. Siena who didn’t fit in this situation the most. This was because there was no reason for a teacher to come in plain clothes at night.WIBo34
Tdb“Please, do say. Why are you here at this hour?w6L7
g7v9LqAmy’s reasonable misunderstanding flushed Siena’s cheeks. However, she quickly returned to her original state and spoke coldly.lxvkjaz
ZgIvq“I’m here to give Shirone some advice about the promotion exam. I didnt think it would be good to stand out by showing everyone that Im helping him, so this is how I do it.”K4v6yVr
KhcYkjIf the promotion test was the reason, then Amy had nothing to say. It was because she went for that same exact reason herself.O1q
PTg“Um Excuse me, senior.”gLt1t
KtOLShirone, who prepared tea, held out a cup to Amy and spoke.GTWnOuU
pn3“First, heres a cup of tea9XnVD
yUHwm“Hmm”hUIhsHs
Ciz96eNAmy took the cup and savored the aroma. As a polite lowerclassman, he had the basic posture of welcoming a guest.Ixnn5iz
4kw“…As if! This all happened because of you!”zauJfhT
0yd47U“S-Sorry!”B3tCc
zho4WAs Shirone apologized, Amy was even more annoyed. Because of that nice temperament of his, he was currently being pushed around by those lowlives.rnjV
lysS“Sit down for now. I want to finish what we were talking about.lmK
Edr4eISiena offered a seat. Amy sat next to Shirone and quickly turned her body away from him. Because although she did come because she was worried, she was still angry with him.HqG
5vB“As you guys know, the evaluation will be on teleportation. The headmaster made the decision himself.”V9iMVZN
Q8HPb“The headmaster?”dkm5
1hMbVAsAmy finally understood the situation. She thought it was a test that was not suitable for Class 7, but since it was the playful headmaster who decided it, that explained it all to her.wkGQHg
3P6lXGZ“Yes. To be honest, I don’t understand his intentions either. Teleportation is a dangerous magic.1LKanc
VbaAmy asked.k2gHp
dgCxM7G“The test will probably be done at ‘The Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed’, right?l5CxE
xbv“Im not quite sure, but thats the only place I can think of.”QPvdXC
