Chapter 54: Overflow (3)
JN0l3PReturn our laboratory? Why all of a sudden?AA0A6V
D0IYNades shoulder curved inwards as he asked.bDh0Ap
T8aiThe corners of Sienas mouth curved up.XwucLc
GVGThe management team reviewed documents and found out that you operated the group without meeting the required number of members this semester. The academy has already cut off the subsidy, so Id appreciate it if you clean things up within a month.MMhyF5Y
UxQ4VpWait a minute! We have Shirone now! 3 members is the minimum requirement for a research group to be recognized.g21
PeDoatmBut what did you guys do? What activities did you participate in? If you want to save your research group, you have to produce some kind of research accomplishment or results within a month, which is the due date. Of course, I dont know what kind of research you can do in the field of the supernatural.hOz5Q
rWgVZuyIts not mandatory for a research group to do a presentation. And were not the only research groups, there are many other ones like us too!e0vvW
6YVGiThis ones a special case. Since your research group is located inside Estas, there are a lot of inconveniences in operation, thats one thing. Second thing, the Supernatural Psychic Science Reserach Group in particular has made no achievement except for earning notoriety. The one-month time was only given to you because Ms. Ethella requested it. You should be grateful.zGf
IuRShirone was totally dumbfounded.BcS
wu8gHe had just entered the research group, only for it to soon be disbanded.jydk9p
rGpBut if you guys are really desperate, there is one way to save the research group.2zh
I31YacNade asked with no hesitation.sHh1c
AU9Whats that? What do we need to do?KS3Nz
7r3ZlyOWithdraw Shirone from the research group. Then Ill overlook this group at least until next semester.kfPd8
UAJu8xWhaaaaat?!8KBBP8J
ASUm525As expected, Nade blew up.xWWjTfU
uSYbI0cNo way! Its not like we forced him to join, we three are friends who always stick together in the academy. Why are you trying to tear us apart?ESG5RgW
5IA5JYiruki added to what Nade said.Ntq
DRBIf its because I miss class, dont worry teacher. We all are masters when it comes to studying, it is just that we have our own methods of doing so.B8r
ldQVsShirone couldnt sit still and just listen.wAD
mhGI feel the same. I know this research group is notorious, along with the fact that Yiruki and Nade do not diligently attend class. However, even these two pour in an absurd amount of effort into their fields of study. Theyre not wasting their time. So please, be lenient.7iUgrVa
G9QNade held on to a string of hope knowing that Siena particularly treasured Shirone.CyPsON
0vrUDHowever, Sienas mind was set.0Ryo4z
HgnIm not changing my mind. Above all, Shirone, this is a decision made for you.LybkBvt
nFCtgQsA decision made for me? I thought I was working hard.mNH7z5
qURiMShirone, what have you been going through lately?y5iq
OH0JcPAShirones heart sank while Nade and Yiruki looked anywhere else but at them.pH88wmo
DhDTHSiena knew from their reaction.zOXHUN
yAZb2pIAs expected, he had told his friends about everything.wKd
xIzFEeYou guys are really5Qtti
j2rSiena sighedIcY4
zEUEspecially you, Yiruki. You know that Shirone is in danger of facing Overflow, so why didnt you tell the instructor?YNZ
LYDrIt was Shirones first time hearing that term.JP0C
ZlpnYiruki, what is Overflow?yyMB
bmZRaIts just Its not a big deal. Its a phenomenon that happens to geniuses at young ages. I experienced it when I was eight.bzGeoVp
pZNSiena was not satisfied with his explanation.jBIRM
R5r0If you go into Overflow for a long period of time, your mind may collapse. I heard about the Immortal Function from Ms. Ethella. If we miss the timing, you will fall into a state where recovery is impossible.3GPBP
ZwGHmm9E2uiD
UDiShirone thought.u79PO0
1k6yHX7Even now, the nightmares persisted every night, and he still suffered from the Mourning Sensation. He was worried he would go crazy at some point which made Sienas explanation credible.3bqnLw
Iw8iKCShirone asked Yiruki again.0Cb
Ly5H-How was it? For you?IXn4
374Hmm, there really wasnt much to it. Well, it was a bit scary. When I told my father about it, he said that it was normal for a bastard like me and that I was supposed to live like that for the rest of my life.hJ9o
5YQJSiena let out a dry chuckle.4xwxYZu
h8yThat was the only thing he had to say to his son who was living in fear.wGVYG
5jlddgRHow absurd.yuNN8kD
fYdHowever, considering who Yirukis father was, it was mildly understandable. Anyways, it was true that his father played a part in Yirukis eccentric personality.tO3u
W47RRmSiena asked Nade.vMuM7y
Vo21N6What are your thoughts?4YOr
TZzENRHuh? Me? Hahaha, I dont know. I dont know what Overflow feels like.glB
s3YdQwSiena sighed. She was hoping Shirone would change his mind after hearing about the experiences of his friends.BtULd
nvy6Okay. Whatever it may be, Shirone will leave the research group. And for the time being, he will have consultations with me. If you guys care about your friend, just accept it. The most important thing right now is Shirones mental state.0Cn
Fw3gu3Nade had a sad expression.i7IMDm
ELWIsnt that just the academys decision? I, the president of his research group, dont agree.Pdd
dnBjSienas eyes hardened.Jq7Ze
monHZIf you think thats loyalty, its not, Nade. You dont know how scary Overflow is, Im sure Yiruki understands.SIZ
meQAlR* * *Sbc6
cRme* * *W0zl
OUl4No. I think its weird, too. Shirone will handle whatever happens. Im glad you worry, but I dont know why you would worry to this extent.foRU61o
1vATHis words sounded cold, but this was why they were friends.goHMRpX
XOqC06The fact that Shirone, the main person involved, was not upset by his words proved that their way of thinking was based on the same rationality.B1z
OizqpSo youre saying its okay for Shirone to go crazy?NavSO9g
trZB6kI mean, that aint the worst outcome. But rather than that, I think Shirone can overcome it. Isnt it something he has to face sooner or later if he wants to become the best?YWTU
rVyes76Nade took the baton.MIgu6C
4O4I agree. Sometimes, I think you are too partial to Shirone. We dont really care, but Shirone himself might be feeling quite pressured. Sometimes, I even wonder if you see Shirone as a man.cjP
jNV3O5Siena did not back down.xs5pwNZ
Usc9tIf you think that way, lets leave it that way. With that, I can be in charge of Shirone now, right?BZ2cZ8
u6r1U8LEven an instructor could not arbitrarily withdraw a student from a research group unless they broke a rule.zLkm6
FFvvIn this instance, the decision made by the president of the research group was more important than the management committee, so she had to get Nades approval somehow.NdO
he4pNStop trying to push it through unreasonable means. Is it right for an instructor to see their own student as a potential love interest?xrI
OdpYou were the one who brought it up first, not me. As long as there is a male and a female, isnt there a possibility?Nb3nS
FU9rHNades anger percentage increased at Sienas strategy of twisting the facts despite knowing what was true.3oz
nk1Fine. Then you see me as a male too, right?YoD
CDNNo. Not in a million years.VXHL
IBJL…What are you doing right now?QMMz8
JoksVq7Nade stood up with an absurd expression.XZt0fGx
NMsYou know what youre saying is inconsistent, right? First, you say there is a possibility, but the next second, you change your words.rxN
HO7zy72Probability depends on probability. I like nice and honest men. If you dont understand what that means, Ill simplify it. There is a 0% chance of me seeing you as a man since youre acting like a kleptocrat.tQDxS
6I0Teacher, can I get wounded by what you just said?lvyolcF
wXQYNo, you cant. Listen carefully. Dont think of trapping me this way. I dont see a student as anything more than a student, but even if you think differently, I dont care. Shirone needs constant surveillance. You guys are the ones insisting on having things go your way.j9BTOqk
cKoNade went speechless and was replaced by Yiruki.d7J
gqcYfaI know what you are concerned about, but if he cant overcome Overflow, then thats just his limit. Its not like hes gonna die. Shouldnt trusting Shirone be the first thing we do?P4Rh
qIDd0sNot gonna die? Were talking about Immortal Function here. There is no guarantee that the worst wont happen.m2wwh
6b4Thats right. However, in our current situation, where nothing is definite, I think you are overly worried. Thats not attention, its obsession.cExwzX
JrguWWObsession?nL4Yd
WgYuGvcSiena froze.MoJu
6TdThe reason why she couldnt immediately refute was because she knew.6Wnu
8HSObsession.OxEvMBe
30Y8nSiena, lets get out of here.RsLH
MPHmwqOverflow was the incident that left trails of scars and regrets she would never forget.Yj8kd
DXQM9In exchange for reaching out his hand and saving her, the boy lost his light forever.uqqfr
UqpmaGPutting together the opinions of my instructor and friends, I think it is something that I have to decide on.iWM
UB1tw1kShirone opened his mouth to talk.JY9jU
J36JTo be honest, I wavered after hearing Ms. Siena. Im scared. The nightmares I have every night The possibility that my mind might collapse.N4d
b0RtMdPulling away from her past thoughts, Siena said.qDq
VQSThats why you shouldINA35ud
FLyGs9yHowever, another part of me is happy.Z4b
md9LwzWhat Im experiencing now doesnt happen to just anyone. Every time I have a nightmare, Im afraid, but in a corner of my heart, I want to maintain this a little while longer. Maybe there is a secret that hasnt been discovered yet. Something I can find.GASojw
Sv4DUWhat if something goes wrong?KwO
JxsxeThat doesnt mean Ill go around cursing and blaming anyone. I dont want to run with my tail tucked between my legs just because Im scared. I will pull it off by analyzing and exploring my situation to the end. I will definitely overcome it.Ut2
9W9RSiena was staring straight into Shirones eyes. He was honest. She realized he meant it and dropped her head.mJ9
bJXTIYou are really alike.La1zJ
bEdzFpThe person who had pulled her out of the darkness and into the light had said the same thing.3GIQ
I5FwJ3Siena, you gotta stare properly. Closing your eyes wont change anything.rL8r
ZYFGo away, brother! You dont know anything!9u8Gj
jpwpAt the time, If she had harbored the same level of courage as Shirone, wouldnt that terrible accident have been avoided?Sqv
LvsxbOkay.RCBx
I1WSiena fixed her expression and pushed up her glasses.gcGq
YBSSxsI understand your thoughts. I respect Shirones opinion and wont place his withdrawal as the condition.FDt
J9puL4No, before that, when will you ever plan on respecting the presidents opinion? Hm? Im the president. The present president of this group.gCULaP1
ARyE57Hohoho, I dont think you have the leisure to joke around. One month from now. If you fail to produce research results the academy approves of, you will return your lab, and the Supernatural Psychic Research Society will be disbanded. Even though there were a lot of incidents, didnt this research group produce many graduates? That proud achievement may end with your generation.Tjp
EwLUaNade’s face turned sickly pale.CvyPka
lHmoNow that I think about itjyH0
RuOMIt wouldnt end with a simple disbanding.kE7SbH0
pnGhThe generations of troublemakers from the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group broke the academys expectations and were currently occupying various key positions in the mage society.p0tMm0v
oTEjz62In particular, Garold Mikeah, the current president of the Magic Association, was their pride.b7vGG
HvgHow could they face those figures if the research group ended in their generation?xOXHS
