Chapter 66: The Unseen (5)
iIrBEThe flower vase hit the wall and shattered to pieces.A4fx6Fg
PLKAmy, who had thrown the vase, was against the opposite wall.L70
gjpRV1Wh-What the hell?wvoRn2A
gAJP4soThe moment the midnight bell rang, a real ghost appeared.hcb
Ih6DWas this what Nade called the resonance effect?viX
oNcAt first, she thought she was hallucinating, but whatever was reflecting on the window was real.KwzN
Bz06WGuuuhhhhhhh3VL
AgdTa8pHearing the gravelly voice, Amy turned on her heels and slammed open the door.x9NOf
YAaVijwNumerous girls were screaming at the top of their lungs, running through the hallway.0ptFDk1
yZocAmy was appalled. Dozens of ghosts were chasing them from behind while their jaws clattered with each step.FaqP
DSfXCeAmy! Save me! Im seeing ghosts! What should I do?!vU2f
PywfYubSharelle came running with a pale face, and a sense of reality rushed into Amy.MgeRYTX
kpa85She had never believed in ghosts. However, it was the nature of humans to refuse to enter a cemetery alone even if they didnt believe in them.6gi83Z

GKuXIAmid the wave of crowds, Amy also began running out of the building.z6nXuC

Atsg41In a quiet training ground at the entrance of a mountain, a strange noise broke the silence.2uikOsX
TOC9Ethella came out from her meditation.o0uwqnn
3q350XgWhen she stood up and turned around, a hideous, transparent figure was walking towards her.1ZdFq
A7TThe word ghost quickly entered her mind, but she didnt feel any particular emotion from the ghost. She could tell because she was a truth-seeker fighting against the evils of the world.UtAJvFI
cQqHnNRWhen the ghost came to stand right in front of her face, Ethella squinted her eyes and leaned forward to have a better look.PAs8Nl
YIu1Then, the ghost stared at her as well and tilted its head.xUl
Lobia4It was a moment of truth to prove how well Yirukis equation predicted the opponent.DMEm0Zn
RpFThe ghost threatened again.MNC
eY4AGRRRR!BSVG
9Fo4fxUGRRRR?2N8OVg
YblBKOut of innocent curiosity, Ethella raised her hand and tried to press the soldiers nose.93yt8
5pmHowever, the result was expected. Her hand penetrated and came out the back of the soldiers head.wIeRXcP

jqKsYtVInside the ice domain where even steam froze solid, Siena breathed heavily, covering herself.2pff
DRMR68The moment she opened the bathroom door, what stood in front of her was a white-as-a-sheet face that was looking at her through a window.ZcJ0r
QHC3lyQThe first thing that came to her mind was pervert, so Siena flew back a little and froze the steam coming out from the bathroom.GEM
YtXfAfter she created the ice curtain to hide from the assumed pervert, she took a moment to gather her thoughts.QtpH
yjLDB63She peeked through the long rope-like frozen steam and what she clearly saw was a corpse with a decomposed face.RU7
yODmi7pWhat in the world?ZfeJ
j5VtOf course, she remembered the frequency of souls she had heard in the presentation.z5A
6olWas what Nade said true? No, that cant be.fR5qDP
CHBDHowever, she couldnt deny it with confidence because she couldnt explain what she was seeing.Gh63ggG
jdWlEUFGaaaahhhhhh.2ft7
SavYAs soon as the ghost opened its mouth, Siena instinctively froze the window.PBTJH
0qc7Siena regained her composure when she confirmed that it was still moving behind the frost.C6FT6
p926KHow dare youpNxXoJ
2UhShe covered herself with a gown from inside the bathroom and walked to the window to open it.fRM
aSDv4hnAs expected, no harm was done to the soldier, and it continued making uncanny expressions.tQl
CMWz2hpShe went outside to inspect the building. She found a spherical device that was emitting a dim light.IJkT4
d6kShe let out a sigh and returned to her room to take off her gown.JzD

udlNadeThe remaining water droplets on her body froze with a crackling sound, and ice particles that glistened like diamonds spread all around her.a9U9ns5
iZT7KBefore she knew it, no water was left on her body.bQ6fL

tVuAs of midnight, the Alpheas Magic Academy was in a state of terror.Hhp
OOTmcLights could be seen turning on through the countless windows of the dormitory as students rushed out of their rooms.KNa
woHzIt was the same kind of situation everywhere else.ITP
zX0The program was designed to predict human reactions with its dozens of patterns. Rhe students ran recklessly along the road without even knowing that they had been deceived.V5o
nwHbsQSave me!!!eZwIbsh
1wKxTAOGhost! Ghosts appeared!JcqCobV
rS8JSkMThe mob mentality from the crowd affected the students psychologically.UivF1g
ObvBut even then, it would be difficult to predict all human behaviors, so what Yiruki wanted was not a detailed response, but something that would induce the crowd as a whole.0X7
3nuNfQThe holograms seemed to be chasing people without purpose, but if one observed from a birds-eye point-of-view, it was actually used to rally the crowd into one place.tLr1l
qXyEventually, almost all of the 400 students gathered in front of the central building where the lights were turned off.dLKMZP3
kAWyStudents trapped between people and buildings realized that there was no place to escape anymore.bl7etv
NjEnChildren from the lower-leveled classes wailed and cried out for their mothers, while students from Intermediate class prepared to fight.moKSwR

L0D5The students chins wobbled, but then a light spread through the soldiers’ bodies. The bodies soared into the sky as hundreds of light rays.RqRuuTQ
LXJcJJZWh-What?UgluY
Yf2VgSePerhaps, they were ascending to the afterlife?PIUxrO
Z3VDFpLThe young children were praying when the sound of applause was heard from the central building behind them.XXi
jep3rlClap. Clap. Clap.pOc7Y4
U2MAll 400 people stared up at the rooftop at the same time to see Shirone, Yiruki, and Nade standing over them.kPq6q
KqXcThank you to all those who have attended our presentation.1g5wsG2
f2sT7vAWhile the students still had difficulty grasping the situation, the instructors finally arrived.1EFLmK
8JMLAll faculty members in charge of the Beginner classes, Intermediate classes, and Advanced classes were gathered.8oIu0XF
J8HuBSiena stomped her way through the crowd.SE3
RW9hZEYou guys! Come down here, right now! What in the world are you doing?! You turned the academy into a mess!EQQzbgV
8D6knQKNade winked and said.Cx1
DDzAh, Ms. Siena. What a beautiful evening we have today, dont you think?kffs
UII60What beautiful evening, huh?! Hurry up and come down! If I personally go up there, I might accidentally kill you, so come down here! Now!VCbP
2nkuruzBut first things first, its still our presentation. Ill put an end to it first and then go.4qL6
Xc2TPresentation? What kind of presentation occurred in the middle of the night?5KCt
1HPgZVStudents understood what was happening.Qw4t6DM
2bFGPKpWhat? So all this was their doing? That means it was all fake!DiCJx
XSjFWe were fooled! Damn it!ZkF
1sjCbThere were still many who were puzzled, but the students who grasped the situation criticized Shirones group by pointing fingers.95m5
nZOYou crooks! How dare you Class 5 kids fool us? This is not a presentation!MmqLmPe
30iThose guys should get zeros on the performance evaluation. You guys are done for! There are no ghosts in the world, yet they dare go scamming us with such things.spN
4h9Despite all the cursing and criticisms, Shirones group had a relaxed smile.P2LB
sXD7cXTEventually, Nade raised his hand and calmed them down.ur85
M2Mf7The Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group has proven to you the existence of ghosts through our presentation. Yet, you guys still dont believe in the existence of the soul.Esft
hyypOf course not! You created these nonexistent ghosts and thought you could get recognized? You guys are going to fail!u4CX
52IThats right! This was just a bad prank! Anyone can deceive people this way! Even I06kdxrr
DQuThe students of Class 4 stopped talking.TPLk2En
VLqB1FSoon, students from other classes turned to their side and murmured as if they had just realized it too.S05
YBLIBy the way, how did they do it? Do you know?fMP8UR
eP4cIy2No, I dont have a clue. They really looked like ghosts. Besides, they fooled the entire academy.phjR3G
KOqyThis wasnt just a bad prank.NVjE
Ug5xAnother thing that was surprising was the hundreds of holograms. How they moved all of those around the academy was still a mystery.RFQZ
8FocThose bastards, what the hell did they do?0h2N8P0
6kaOxdtSiena closed her eyes and frowned as the crowd broke out into confusion.18d
iLrTo be honest, she also didnt know the exact way they pulled this through.1cj6oa
APGThey could have made the holograms. Sure, they could also program it to move. However, to cover the whole academy, they had to operate each one flawlessly. But to also lure 400 people into one place in such a situation Thats impossible. No, whats more impossible than that is?uVfz9
qJeQKEven if luck was on their side, how did Shirones group transmit the information?9L0BjTb
Bp0q90BHohoho, I think we lost this time around.sMkGU
HbKUz6When the instructors turned around to look, they saw Alpheas, who was looking at the rooftop with a laugh.nxGrg3Q
7B6WSiena shook her head.E9unxg
ejHNTEyHeadmaster, this isnt something to be taken lightly. I dont know what those children did, but unauthorized installation of devices in the academy facilityQbvWYE
W6OHo? You mean even you dont know Ms. Siena?3un1
95dj7C6Currently, Alpheas was interested not in the fact that an academy rule had been broken, but in the technological prowess of Shirones group.8G7p
XuaTX2Alpheas himself would not have been able to guess that an information communication skill was involved in this strategy if he wasnt also a major in Light magic.5wtaj2g
tKTBZ0cEven so1pOdK
rfXWas it possible at a students level?MEHc6e
HzI8NMwIt was probably a huge gamble for the three as well.mWzAbi
NIfxsdkHe wanted to applaud them for their wonderful success.ytP
jE9UYp4Siena admitted frankly.VEuAA2Z
tUtRYes. Although its embarrassing to admit, I don’t really know how they did it. But just because we dont know the mechanism doesnt mean theyve convinced the instructors.sbyw
yTOLJBHoho, youve mistaken. Thats not what I meant by we lost.FOlW2b7
kNAYes? ThenO163e
qnfDkAAlpheas looked up and saved his breath.mEI
wbBYGLets just watch for now. I dont think the presentation is over yet.D7PW
Qine8MeThe students were also burning with curiosity to find out the tricks Shirones group used.cGeh27j
89NThe front of the building turned into a large-scale forum, but the more they shared their opinion, the more mysterious it got.Lway
MKJT0The students from Class 4 found this whole situation especially unpleasant.hqR20s9
j3aUNot only were they fooled by tricks created by their lowerclassmen, but they also couldnt even grasp how they did the whole thing. Their pride took a hit.iY3r7eQ
lgSPZwIHmph! Whatever method they used, it must be something absurd and laughable. The point is your presentation is rubbish! Youre saying you will prove ghosts exist? Dont make me laugh!IPYznB
00P8u0At someones angry voice, Class 4 students agreed.T07
D1npcYeah! We cant accept such a method! That wasnt psychic science, it was just a show!6Fao
raC4cNade heard that and stepped in.h9XbL
iDpMt0Do none of you still believe in the soul?BZE
znKzPOf course not! Soul? That was just a kind of Phantom magic. I’m saying its not real.vV1
DT9eFAJThen I will ask you this. If you really thought so, then why are you here?4ijzspc
XUBBecause! Huh?FNkfhh
6dB0hoSilence enveloped the area.kL6mKB
nPBsajdAmong the hundreds of students, not one could go against what Nade said.TBUIo12
FgwPgIf they didnt believe in the existence of souls, why did they run away?eVJe
ADzRyThe answer was simple. Somewhere deep in their mind, there was a belief in the soul.UtksFc
359Nade continued.fxgY3SG
m1my5xMWhat you are feeling right now is the essence of Supernatural Psychic Science. Humans live their whole lives with questions about the unknown. They are curious. If you simply dont need to know just because it hasnt been verified, then why should intelligence exist? I think this is why the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group should be in Alpheas Magic Academy, the birthplace of intelligence.7izDH
lRKRMovThe students said no words.uQy5fZL
PolrOIt wasnt real ghosts that appeared today, but so what?O7rc
c9dRLllThe important thing was that everyone here thought the things they saw were ghosts. Reals ones.bYNxmDa
8lnIf one went about it that way, then that meant someone had to try and uncover the truth.WNufYZ1
5B8XThe students approached this presentation seriously for the first time.gYf
56dBThe reason for learning was to find out what you didnt know yet. In the end, intelligence was an unknown, and psychic and magic were not so different from one another.qfN
dpAThat marks the end of the presentation of the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group. Once again, I would like to thank you for participating until late at night.ptj8
ZDqIwShirones group bowed.bEj0T1
WJCThe crowd was quiet, and no one spoke.jo6lr
