Academy's Second Seat [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 242: Past and Future (9)

A dark night.

I put on my hood and left the mansion.

There was not a single person on the street, and the only light came from the moon.

Chirp chirp─

In the quiet space, only the sound of insects could be heard.

There, a small cabin with lights on was visible.

It was located on the outskirts of the capital, to the extent that one might wonder if such a place even existed there.

I opened the door to the cabin and entered.

"Have you arrived?"

Inside was Ian Astria, sitting in a chair.

I had come to meet Ian to learn spatial magic.

A few days after meeting the head wizard.

I wrote letters to everyone around me, including Rie and Astina.

The content of the letters was to cooperate with Ian Astria.

I couldn't write the details, but everyone responded to my request after I sent letters saying I would explain in detail later.

"Are my friends being of any help to you?"

"The number of people nitpicking at my side has just increased, which is annoying."

Even though he said that, work was progressing smoothly.

Rie and Astina were helping, and McDowell, who was still in the capital, was also helping him.

The empire was abuzz with talk about him these days.

It was strange that people from the Emperor's faction were helping Ian all of a sudden.

"How is it going?"

"When passing through the capital, it was decided that the Royal army would inspect the luggage. It seems that other things are also progressing well."

What Ian had planned was direct pressure on Perrian.

Perrian had no choice but to stay at the mansion by the emperor's order.

To research necromancy magic, he had to move related luggage to the capital.

Ian used the excuse of blocking the passage of the rebels to have the Royal army search the luggage.

This meant that it would be impossible to bring in items related to necromancy magic through other people.

However, inspecting the luggage wouldn't prevent everything.

If Perrian tried to bring in the luggage using spatial magic, there was no way to stop him.

That's where my role was needed.

If he tried to leave the mansion using spatial magic, I would follow him using spatial magic.

I would check what Perrian was doing and what luggage he was bringing in.

If he had created a hidden place using spatial magic, I would check that place and inform others.

But for that, I first needed to learn spatial magic...

"The blocking of passage through the empire starts in a week. I barely managed to convince your friends to delay."

"Ahaha......"

I thought it must have been Rie.

Rie had the personality to start things right away once decided.

Thanks to her willingness to follow Ian's instructions, they managed to adjust the timing appropriately.
