36 – Presents

The first day of normal classes.

Students and professors enthusiastically participated in the class, probably because it was the first class in a long time.

After all classes are over, let’s head to the club room with Lakar.

She was waiting for her to come ahead, Aria was lying on her bed and looking at her textbook. Luna and Kane were seated.

“If we do today, the search in the area we are assigned will be over, right?”

We haven’t searched inside the academy yet, but today was the last outside search.

“Isn’t it ending without finding anything?”

Seeing Aria lying on the bed and speaking in a disappointing voice, I took out a snack from the storage room and held it out, and she opened the snack with a bright face as if she had never done that.

“Let’s do our best together today. I plan to take a day off from searching inside.”

The members who shared the snacks nodded.

After taking a short break and chatting about miscellaneous things, we continued yesterday’s search.

Is there anything else like a mask? I looked carefully up to the top of the tree, but there was nothing in sight.

About an hour passed, and I was going back with the intention of quickly searching the place I had passed once again.

I heard Lakar’s voice.

“Chief, I think Arya found something.”

At Lakar’s words, I hurriedly headed to where Arya was.

Behind the statue on the road not often used by students heading to the Combat Division dormitory. Arya made a fuss at her and gestured.

“I think I found it!!!”

Behind the statue Arya pointed to was a pocket watch with an unusual design.

Certainly, if it was here, Ross would be able to get it by chance. If it was Ross in the novel, he wouldn’t have any friends, so he’d be walking around alone in a remote place like this to kill time.

“I was afraid I would get hurt if I touched it.”

At Aria’s words, I gave her a good thumbs up.

Are you feeling good? I’m not sure if it’s an unclean artifact, but I didn’t know what would happen if I touched it. I said I was calling the principal and told Lacard and Aria to guard this place.

Hearing that she was calling for Principal Nelson, she left Aria behind her, her eyes shining, and ran towards her principal’s office. There was a sign on the door that said they were out of town.

The timing wasn’t good. Thinking about what to do, I went to the teachers’ office.

She noticed Professor Leora, who had the same stern face as always, and approached her. She raised her head and looked at me as if she knew how.

“What’s going on?”

“I found a strange object during the Messiah Club activity.”

As I was about to open my mouth to explain to Professor Leora, who was looking at me with a strange expression, Professor Leora stood up from her chair and spoke briefly.

“Let’s go.”

As I returned to the statue with Professor Leora, Arya put on a disappointed expression for a moment.

“The principal… ?”

“He said he was going out.”

Let’s answer the whispering Aria like that. She put on a sad expression.

“This is what Arya found.”

Pointing her hand at her pocket watch, Professor Leora drew her wand from her bosom and muttered something as she swung her wand.

A flash of green flew towards the pocket watch, but somehow the magic bounced back.

Seeing that, Professor Leora narrowed her eyes and said to us.

“Students, let’s go back.”

I nodded at Professor Leora’s determined voice.

“After investigating this matter separately, I will contact the club.”

With that said, Professor Leora raised her wand to the sky, and the lights that came out of her wand like firecrackers exploded with a pop.

Hearing that sound and seeing guards coming from far away, we left our seats and returned to the club room.

Kane and Luna also returned to the club room shortly after the search was over.

“You found it, right?”

As if she was happy that she had found it, let’s reply that she was good to Aria who asked while lying on the bed. Kane from the side asked with a puzzled expression.

“Did you find it?”

“Yeah, Arya found one. Professor Leora is handling it.”

At that, Kane gave Aria a great look, and Aria, who raised her shoulders to the fullest, raised both of her hands and wiggled at her, as if asking her to praise her more.

“Then you want a reward? It’s like adding club activity fees.”

“Well, the principal is out, so I don’t know yet.”

Let’s answer Kane like that. Arya interjected.

“How about putting a fireplace in the club room!”

“I have to do something practical.”

“How practical a fireplace is! I can sleep well!!!”

Ignoring Kane and Arya, who were bickering as always, I told Luna and Lakar that they had a good job.

“Were our first club activities still successful?”

When I said that with a smile, Luna and Lakar smiled and nodded.

“Now that the treasure hunt is over, let’s have some free time. Ah, Lacar and Kane get the club key.”

When she handed over the yakitori drink along with the key she couldn’t deliver yesterday, Aria, who had been arguing with Kane, said with her eyes shining.

“Just one bite.”

“Is this crazy?”

In the end, seeing the two of them arguing while pretending that they couldn’t win, I thought that we would fight like that before dating.

If you think about it, the two of them have opposite personalities, as if they were a comedy duo, so they got along surprisingly well.

I turned my gaze to Lakar, who was eating chicken skewers next to me.

“I will train alone today.”

“Yeah, okay. Are you going to do some strength training?”

“Of course not.”

To me, physical training was a necessity that I had to do every single day.

I greeted the members and headed to the private practice room. Her hands have been itching since morning because she wanted to test the Spear of Ruin she received from Bella yesterday.

Let’s take out the Spear of Destruction from the Space Warehouse. Although it was slightly longer than the training spears used previously, it was lighter in weight.

To get used to the spear of destruction, I got a feel for it by practicing basic stabbing a few times.

When I stabbed the spear at the scarecrow for training in the training room, it pierced the scarecrow’s armor more easily than a conventional spear and the spear came out of the back.

The original ability of the spear is great, but the reason why the spear of destruction fell over to the religious leaders and became a difficult enemy was because of the ‘power of destruction’.

When the blade turns red, the power of destruction dwells in the spear. Being stabbed or cut by this was enough to cause the body to explode along with the armor.

It is a spear with enormous power that can break even magic and barriers, and it was one of the reasons why Roel’s warrior party had a hard time dealing with the religious leaders.

Well, in the end, the main character’s buff is not overcome, and the power of destruction itself is reflected in Roel’s attack, and the church officer dies without leaving a trace….

If you skillfully use the power of destruction and space magic, you will have the ability to kill with one blow, aiming at the opponent’s back at any time.

Concentrate your magic on the blood-red jewel in the middle of the black spear blade. I could see the red light starting to turn red around the jewel as if it were spreading across the blade of a black spear.

At the same time, feeling a sudden exhaustion of magical energy, I let go of the spear and fell to the floor.

“Crazy….”

I poured all my mana into it, but the moment the spear blade started to change, my mana ran out.

With my current abilities, I couldn’t fully draw out the power of destruction.

In the end, I found a cure for stone thorn disease. I had to solve a problem related to mana.

When you head to a restaurant for dinner, thinking you should get permission to go out. I was able to see Principal Nelson returning from an outing.

“The principal.”

“Ross. I heard that you did something to Professor Leora.”

As if to walk with a smile, Nelson motioned forward and walked in line with his steps.

“I have something to investigate outside, so can I get a pass?”

When I got straight to the point, Nelson smiled warmly as always.

“Yeah, I can’t wait to see what a headache it will be.”

Nelson, who was walking while saying that, looked around and whispered softly.

“Rather than that, how about the club room?”

Let’s tell Nelson, who has a mischievous expression, that the room is spacious and that it has a bed and a sofa. He looked a little disappointed.

“You haven’t properly grasped the club room yet.”

Is there a secret in the club room… ? Let’s put on a puzzled expression. Nelson grinned, the same ominous smile he had seen before, and continued walking.

“When I first started the club, there was always something I wanted. It is to create our own perfect hideout. So I made all kinds of things in the club room. Ah, I read a novel when I was young. The main character of the novel was able to go to another world through the closet. How envious I was when I saw that…. It was one of the reasons I wanted to become a wizard.”

Nelson stopped, looked like he was reminiscing, then spoke to me.

“So, I guess you haven’t checked the present yet. I’ll give you the pass through Professor Leora, so go eat.”

With a warm smile, I looked at Nelson’s back as he headed toward the principal’s office, then ran to the club room instead of the cafeteria.

The club room is not a gift, is there a separate gift? Hearing this, he could not go to the restaurant.

When we arrived at the club room, the members were still there as if they hadn’t headed to the cafeteria yet.

As I appeared, exhaling heavily, Lakar and Luna gave me curious glances.

“What’s up?”

I didn’t even answer Lakar’s question, I walked past the staff and stood in front of a huge closet.

“Principal Nelson says he hasn’t checked the gift yet.”

At that, Arya, who was lying on the bed, jumped up like a meerkat and looked at me.

“Nell, there are still presents from Principal Nelson?!”

Like Aria, who shouted with eyes twice as large as usual, the other members approached me with surprised expressions.

Let’s open the closet door while receiving a look of anticipation. I saw old-looking cloaks and clothes.

Let’s push them aside. There was a door in the closet that should have been closed behind.

As I swallowed my dry saliva in anticipation of something beyond the closet, Aria said in a trembling voice when she approached her.

“What, what is there?”

When I opened the door, what I saw was a forest made of dense palm trees. Let’s cross the gate with her crew. I glanced back at the sand felt under her feet and let out an exclamation.

I couldn’t help but put on a dumbfounded look at the golden sand and jewel-like sea glistening in the sun behind the door we came out of.

“Like a snow globe…. Is this also a virtual space?”

I realized that this island was created by Nelson at the words of Aria, who was muttering in a weak voice as if she was shocked.

“To be able to give an island as a gift…. Is the principal great? Is the manager great?”

“They are both great.”

Lacar looked at me and replied to Kane’s self-talk.

I was speechless and ran my hand over my face. Beyond the closet, the existence of such a world was truly magical, as Nelson said.

It was only then that I came to my senses at the gaze of the members who were looking at me with stupid faces, and looked at the members with a smile.

“Shall we go?”

Looking at the members who didn’t understand what I was saying, I smiled and pointed to the sea.

“You should enjoy the present.”

Without answering her words, Arya started running towards the sea, shouting her cheers.

While Carne and La Cardo ran to the sea following Aria, I matched her steps with Luna, who lagged behind.

Luna was admiring her surroundings in a curious way. In the sunlight, Luna’s interior, resembling the sea, shone brightly like an emerald.

The salty smell of the waves and the sound of leaves blowing in the wind. Golden sandy beaches leaving footprints and unknown birds flying in the sky.

For some reason, Luna’s eyes were watery as she watched it all.

As I looked at Luna, like sometime ago.

We walked together without saying a word.
