Episode 249 Chapter 50: Noble Soul (2)

Noble Soul (2)

Bang!

The loud bang of someone hitting the desk startled Eisel awake.

Her head was still groggy, and her vision blurry. Only then did she realize she had been nodding off.

"Hey, are you asleep?"

Forcing her blurry eyes open and focusing her vision, she saw Flame grinning brightly at her.

"...Huh? No?"

"Don't pretend you weren't. Meditation time is basically nap time."

"Oh."

Finally, Eisel recognized that the class she was attending was indeed meditation time. Normally, she would have been deeply immersed in meditation, but the past few days had left her so exhausted that she kept dozing off during meditation.

It was a class where it was hard to tell if you were meditating or sleeping, so there was no fear of getting scolded.

"Here, take a look at this. I'm busy, so I have to go."

"Huh? Wait a minute..."

Flame casually tossed a magazine onto her desk before hurrying off with her friends into the hallway.

Eisel tilted her head in curiosity as she picked up the magazine.

[Arcanium Magic Magazine]

"Oh."

Now that she thought about it, she remembered something like this.

The five prestigious schools of Arcanium often conducted joint club activities, and the "Arcanium Magic Magazine" was a joint club activity of the magic newspaper clubs from these five schools.

Eisel had heard that there were quite a few clubs that collaborated and exchanged activities, but she wasn't particularly interested in such things, so she didn't know much about it.

"...As expected."

After briefly skimming the magazine, Eisel couldn't help but smile.

Witches, witches, witches.

It was all about witches.

It seemed the student reporters wanted to show that they could cover stories as well as professional journalists, running all over town to gather interviews from professors and even members of the Stella Knights.

The contents were mostly about questioning how Baek Yu Seul managed to catch the witch and praising the achievement of the witch hunt. However, as befitting magicians, they also included an analysis of why witches still existed in modern times, which was quite impressive.

But, as expected from student reporters, the core parts of the incident were all simplified.

They had no idea that Flame and Eisel, along with the Manwol Tower, had assisted in the background, nor did they know that the witch's true identity was the "Heir of the Last Witch."

As she casually read through the magazine, she came across something that caught her attention.

"Hmm?"

It was an interview with one of the Stella Knights. Unlike others, this knight didn't have a very high opinion of Baek Yu Seul, though he tried to phrase it nicely, his dislike was evident.

'Baek Yu Seul acts independently, has a self-centered mindset, and doesn't fit well in group settings.'

From Eisel's understanding, it roughly translated to that.
