[Nice to meet you, I'm Noe Corbusier.]
[I'm Sheryl Bashral. This is my aide, Nicole Cadio.]
[Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Nicole Cadio. It's a pleasure to meet you.]
After dinner, Nicole and I had come to the research building mainly used by teachers.
It's to meet the person Bellom-sensei introduced as Professor Corbusier who has acquired the Dreaming Illness.
Unlike the dormitory, research labs look clean and frugal. However, because the rooms' divisions are aligned straightly, the corridor looks long.
Corbusier-sensei wears a white lab coat, with his honey blonde hair braided to one side. His sideburns falls up to his shoulder coupled with his amiable expression makes him look like a pleasant person.
It seems that Corbusier-sensei's symptoms are still mild, but it seems that there is a chronic pain in his leg from the appearance of a cane on his hand. And as the symptoms progresses in the future, he will be bedridden just as I used to be.
[I'm in charge of teaching magic. Every student will be called by name so please forgive me. I have heard Bellom-sensei praise that you are very talented.]
[I'm humbled. Corbusier-sensei used to be active at the front lines fighting monsters, weren't you?]
[Yes. Last year, I acquired the Dreaming Illness and now they're letting me teacher here.]
The despair of being unable to use the magic he's used to must be massive. Furthermore, on top of having no cure and because they know that they'll eventually die of too much pain, most of those who has acquired the Dreaming Illness choose to end themselves before they suffer any more.
Although Corbusier-sensei looks fine at first glance...... that should be flaring up at least once.
Perhaps even at this moment.
It's painful to think of the shadow behind fair and gentle expression.
[I was a bit suspicious about what Bellom-sama said but I see you now,honestly speaking, I feel like I'm dreaming. I know that it's a strange question but ......Are you really not feeling any pain right now?]
[That's right, for now...... It's not because I just got cured.]
It's because I happened to be able to consciously discharge Mana that the symptoms have receded, if I stopped doing it, the illness would probably return again.
That the Dreaming Illness will be with me till I die does not change.
[Even still... Well... ugh]
[Sensei?]
Corbusier-sensei suddenly shed tears and sweat.
Before I managed to look at Nicole for a solution, he presented a handkerchief.
[Excuse me... Because I know how bad your condition used to be......, I, too, will do my best to live until the very end.]
Even though I have no idea whether the pain he's experiencing right now with the acquire illness is the same as the pain I used to suffer from. I thought that Corbusier-sensei who is tolerating it is strong.
[Sensei, have you prepared what we've asked?]
[Yes. An extra pair... of underwear, is it? How are you going to use it?]
When I thought of trying the method of extracting Mana I did on Nicole on him, I consulted with Bellom-sensei.
Even if the symptoms improve with this, it is not a matter of casually trying it on other patients, so it is a secret experiment.
