Chapter 64: The Unseen (3)
Pe5txt6However, even Class 2 upperclassmen were only supporting roles compared to the man who just joined the line.McAh
LRMA beautiful man dressed up in ready-made clothes with hair neatly pulled back stood there, smiling.mu78PIx
41XHe was Fermi Ardino of Class 1.37kk2K
jbEnwIBOnce more people noticed he was there, the sound of talking diminished.jh5Ad6
XMDSharelle also whispered with a serious look.UpPs
PvVcLKIts understandable that we are here, but isnt it strange that people from Class 2, not to mention Fermi, are attending?68qM3p
uE6Theyre not here because of Shirone. What do you think the upperclassmen who just arrived have in common?bPSy
d44fjHmm, I dont know, hard to get close to?rgLEJ3
5xb2oExactly. Those guys Theyre probably members of groups that work in the shadows. Similar to Black Magician. Though they are on a whole nother level compared to them.SRgOI
EjMeAh, thats right. I heard the research group that Shirone joined is quite notorious. However, I really didnt expect Fermi to come. I dont know about the others, but I know hes really popular. Hes even kind.jYn
5cYI find that even worse. I feel like hes always up to something. Anyways, lets just ignore them. Theres no such thing as upperclassmen or lowerclassmen in the Advanced class.grlHI
me3KThe 30 students in the Advanced Class were all equal competitors.qia7a
9bEIEach year, 10 Advanced Class students would graduate, and classes were organized according to exam scores. Therefore, the current classmates were those who did not make the top 10 in last years graduation exam.i76
Oh1RZThe reason why they couldnt just be regarded as failed-to-pass students was because they were at the top of the pyramid. The higher one went up the pyramid, the smaller the difference in skill. If you were a Class 1 student, there was little to no difference in terms of skill to categorize who was more superior or inferior.hUi
7dLFlIn addition to basic skills, there were numerous variables such as their condition on that particular day, the existence or nonexistence of strategy, compatibility, concentration, choice, etc. That was what determined who got to graduate.cZYOfG
ydJThe students were absolutely shocked that the Rank 1 of the magic academy had come to watch a Class 5 presentation.0Ww
zUEfWaAs word of Fermis appearance started to spread, by the time the presentation was about to start, there were more students than there were seats.rQf
rKyLpEFinally, the door to the lecture hall opened and the students rushed in.DrVPr5
34V8YThe first row was for the instructors, while the students filled up the seats in the order they came in.w9T
EfKiGAmy had arrived early, so she got to sit close to the stage next to Sharelle.m7ICzq
otp1NWhat in the world are they going to show us for it to be this big of a deal.e24NyF
dQYmanbNo matter how hard she thought about it, it was strange for it to cause this ruckus.8YxkH
8ZINot only were there outstanding talents from the Advanced class, but also the number oneDzqW8GI
99nThis isnt a simple presentation.24p9
1OmdIIn the midst of the tense atmosphere, Amy waited for Shirone to come out.7DZhSiF
ybCQLcThe lights in the hall went out.YkfK
ISeRA single spotlight descended into the dark roomDamnA
6AzThe spotlight moved across the stage holding everyones attention. It captured the boy standing in the center, then returned.iaLy7Ym
i1r7eGood evening, everyone. Thank you for coming to watch the presentation presented by the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group. I am Nade, the president of the research group. Today, we would like to demonstrate the subject of the soul. Lets begin the presentation.EtHK4
sOujThe spotlight went out and the sound of applause died down.YPhBp
tyFJoEThe stage brightened like the beginning of dawn, and the scenery of a gloomy mountain began to show itself against the curtain behind the stage.LQM
53pJooEThe children have prepared a lot.rgDrQ
Vr8QtMzAlpheas smiled contentedly.NDkb
iRCbEThere was only one reason why he visited. He was too curious to miss out on this event.4aSGB
MWtKD4On the other hand, Siena was not too impressed.DqEy
pghIt was a nice strategy to use a hologram device, but if the substance of the presentation itself was poor in quality, everything was in vain.Ud99q7
MfLhpNade spoke at the edge of the stage.WBb
TO8pleY520 years ago at this exact location, before the Alpheas Magic Academy was established, there was a small Hwajeonmin Village. It was a period when people who lost their country to a devastating war of conquest wandered aimlessly. Today, we would like to tell you the story of a woman who came here to this Hwajeonmin Village to escape the war.nYknwl
sBaBAs the stage brightened, Yiruki, who was dressed up as a soldier, appeared while dragging one of his legs.Y6UCsY
3xSiBGeeeuurggghh, H-Hungry.Y7r8
yiRThe eyes of the students who were listening very seriously a second ago widened. They soon burst into laughter.YPLwvJ
xxwJEwBPUHAHA! What is that?!vhd
47WWhat does he mean Geeeuurggghh? What kind of play is this?!prdmqJ
q1tZUWCNade continued the narration.oDQ2bNz
EX1KOaxIt was the same for most of the soldiers who wished to escape the war. However, they were not alive. They were hungry ghosts who wandered the world, possessed by evil spirits. They entered the Hwajeonmin Village after smelling raw flesh.XKINPe
14TOUEAfter the explanation, Nade, who changed his clothes off-stage, appeared as the main male character while Yiruki attracted the audiences attention from the side.fm43
jqtZWS7Oh, my dear Ollia! Why is someone from a noble lineage like you suffering in these mountains? If I could, I would sell my soul to restore your glory, but its a pity I cant do that.p2wv6om
ojHThe vocalization was quite worth listening to, but the students who came here thinking it would be a presentation were really puzzled to find out it was a play.QCAkSXt
bimn77Moreover, when Shirone, dressed as a woman from the other side, came out on stage, everyone was stunned.3ug

3scJi5XNoah, Noah!IdAC7
9bY88WAHAHAHAHA!LxbQLrc
tBhAll the students could not hold back their laughter.PmgNi
g2DniShirone really looked like a woman. He had tied his waist tightly to emphasize his waistline, and it looked like he was stuffing something to accentuate his chest.IuNN
J1LaA-Amy.VGkW7
pDl7Sharelle slowly looked at Amy with a complicated mind to find Amy also had an absurd expression.sRd
BthJG4WNade and Shirone communicated the situation through conversations.kC7v
HcWEIt was just a simple story.30vlZR
DwONoah and Ollia, who were both of noble lineage, promised to marry each other when they were kids, but the war left their families in ruin. That was why they eventually came to Hwajeonmin Village to continue their love.TGj
Wdf8oI missed you Ollia, my love, my everything. I love you with all my heart.Y1nd8
rCvMGI love you too, Noah.7Wq4p
dxYAUaThe eyes of the students, who were watching with half-enthusiastic expressions, shone with curiosity for a moment. This was because the two actors were hugging and staring at each other.jPYJTMa
HSJuWAnyone could guess what would happen next.hKX1Vj
RuFYKiss scene. Its definitely a kiss scene.PjZEJy
NcqLnSharelles leg bounced up and down as she made a fuss.qrbPwIL
FdTTQjOh my, theyre gonna do it? Actually?! Oh no!qdyPM5
oSDKKThe audience focused this time out of pure curiosity about whether they would really kiss.1Hkl8s
fukr1Ollia.e7Z
w3xt1Noah.1MPqjiC
0zJThe tension soared the moment they started to come closer.Eaj
7ZnNAAAHHHHH!3UC
FVGfFC0Suddenly, Yiruki appeared behind Nade and bit down on his neck, knocking him down.ebDifAC
EyrO2KYAAAAAAA!pCcnfd
OKdThe students jumped when the scream rang out from the sound system.oH4X
hsuJThat scared me.z6w
DW0RNobody expected Yiruki to appear. This was because it was impossible to produce this kind of production with only the stage equipment.OuS
sSdZOqShirone wrote the script aiming for this point. He thought he could surprise the people by using the invisibility cloak. As the tension escalated, the audience gradually moved to sit on the edge of their seats.TZ3LFw
ZjBJYiruki, who knocked down Nade, pretended to dig into his flesh. Bone-crushing, flesh-chewing sounds were emitted from the sound system.iQO
YT6No! Noah! NOAH!7o1xfC9
ERrZWhen the flesh-eating ghost disappeared, Ollia held the dead body of Noah in her arms and cried out in anguish.WiwG
cUZWMThe lights went out, and a womans outcry was heard.Q2r
DVrAAHHHHHHHH!!! I wont forgive you! Ill kill them all! Ill turn you guys into ghosts, too!2OWDI
FHe8FThe voice of the woman echoing in the dark sent shivers down the students spines.9gBn6n
GCEvWhen the sound of the woman cursing ended, the spotlight shone once again on Nade, who came back as the narrator.UG7sYH
B9bQJ8It was approximately six months ago that we heard No, when we excavated this story. It was thanks to an old diary we found while researching the history of the magic academy.eDIE
VzU9Nade pulled out a single notebook.0sjwruV
JQzeIt was supposedly a 520-year-old notebook that was buried underground.Mglrrbl
WjvAeOOf course, it was something they made in a hurry a few days ago.PBsv
9lRwoOur members who study psychic science immediately launched an investigation and we learned a shocking secret. It is the fact that the ghosts of that time still roam this academy.u9vof
B13Ding. Ding. Ding.ww5yGhU
OVHpThe sound system started ringing a bell which sounded familiar to the students. It indicated midnight.SQPAa
dTkoFEvery night at 12 a.m., hungry ghosts roam places devoid of light. So we thought, this could be the evidence to prove the existence of souls.1JyLGUl
kvdZAfThe students frowned.VV3sy
iUpNrxEven though theyd been attending the academy for several years, they had never seen a suspicious person, let alone a ghost.YEp67R
7hkYQOf course, we know. Youve never seen one before. However, according to the study of Supernatural Psychic Science, souls have properties that can only be seen by those who wish to see them. A special kind of mental frequency has to be met. This is why we decided to hold this presentation. Now that you know the story of souls, your frequency is set right. Now you too will be able to witness ghosts wandering the place believed to be the destination for the soul of the dead.DIj7O
92vsdlnNade gave a wink and made a final comment.BV3
1SU8gksOf course, only if youre lucky. This ends the presentation given by the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group.fY1G
HBboRCBThere was only silence after Nade left. Instead of applause, there was only a bleak atmosphere.Ji5rH
B82qVEWhat? What is he saying?8jK
ViQ8rRhThe students were filled with betrayal and despondency.7YH
EzaThey said it was a presentation to prove the existence of the soul, but all they did was dress up as ghosts.LiD
oxzZAs expected, this was just a joke. I thought they would show something amazing.SfoGxu
GbAWe are the fools to have expected something. Lets be honest, how could they prove the existence of ghosts? Weve been completely deceived.dwqt7n
SjuVBClass 4 joined in.S0LB
bXWtRThere were lots of talks about Shirone and Yiruki, but in reality, they arent much of anything. Hey, lets leave. I wasted my time here.NDS
1qy2mRVoices of disappointment could be heard all around the hall.ofJj
ziTxThe students were reluctant to even have a break time and instead spent that time studying. So they were extremely regretful to waste their time watching a false presentation.nsu
1LTWiMark and Maria came down while other students began leaving the lecture hall.Z9aYP
hHYIt was to see Amy and Sharelle.IL3btB
oWBDw1xHello, Seniors!5fcMsm5
9lLJytGYes, its been a while.QpZrxHw
YgdP0T9How did you like the presentation?RgPMOuL
WWJFllMark seemed to have found it absurd.KMRx
YdFJDIt was especially more difficult for him to accept todays presentation because he knew of Shirones level of genius.247ohwV
UncBut Amy didnt have anything to say either.VSKv
MrXV8teNo excuses, no pretext to try and justify the situation. What they saw was everything, and this was the end of the presentation.DIOwVd
v1fSharelle stood up for Shirone.CnsW7P
t51PFIm sure they originally prepared something, but maybe something went awry. Didnt have enough time, or something. Right, Amy?y6QDW
ucM5K6Its true this is a whole failure. Anyway, I should have known from the moment I heard that he was hanging out with strange kids. Lets leave.T78ka8L
MpZSharelle grumbled at Amys cold attitude.I2wB
lFzbNomHow can you be so indifferent to your boyfriend?2gGa
SeI3AHaha! Thats Senior Amys charm. Shirone is probably the one most upset out of everyone here.66Xg
MybMark had a point. Sharelle followed behind Amy.4KR745s
ChJb0cBNow the only ones left were the instructors.FsRC
Q9FDThey honestly had no clue what to write on the evaluation sheet.eBUrSb
Pd4sUaSiena was especially shocked.8J0Wt
sMIb7uWhy in the world did they give this kind of presentation9OKzn
TLVdBvShe couldnt believe they held such a childish presentation in the presence of the headmaster no less.vIU
27zA headache was already pounding her head as she thought of ways to cover up this situation.dLsQOTX
