The next day I was taking the classes as usual. There wasn't anything unusual in particular, Ryfin taught us so new magic spells; mostly of elental magic.
I still wasn't able to use the magic circle technique though, I don't know why. I was lucky that he was only teaching us elental magic spells since I was able to use my elental magic and make it look like I was using it with magic circles.
The reason for this error is still unknown, but right now I'm not that interested in finding that out anyway. I don't know if the sa thing will work with custom magic but as long as we were on elental magic, there was not a problem.
Elental magic which is taught in this academy didn't have much of an appeal to from the start, since it took ti to both learn it and use it while it did the exact sa thing as my magic.
What's the aning of repeating a class even when you didn't fail? Sure you can hone your grasp on the concepts that way but it was a ti waste to . To the thing I genuinely wanted to learn was custom magic, until we were on that topic, all is fine.
Also, Ryfin sowhat knew that I can already use magic and am relatively good at it, so he was ignoring mostly. It seems as though he was being kind to or that he was really scared by the threat I gave him I know that's not the case.
He was just pretending to be scared of ; I noticed that much these days. I don't know his reasons but probably it was an act to make let my guard down and not see him as a threat. Then, when I will be most venerable, he will attack.
This is still a hypothesis on my side but enough to keep on guard. As I've said before, I didn't know what this man was up to; he was unpredictable. He was pretending to be harmless, just like a cute little animal.
But as the last words of Balcha of Sidamo said before he entered the monastery, 'Do not underestimate the power of Tafari. He creeps like a mouse but he has jaws like a lion.'
I was aware of this, hence I was cautious and never took what he said or showed directly at face value.
As I was thinking about him, the class for today ended and the man in question left; followed by the students afterward. I was also stood up and took my leave.
I had to do so shopping first and then have to et up with Anya. She was probably not in her best state due to that letter, that's why I decided to keep tabs on her.
Also, I had sothing to talk about.

Later that day, the ti was around dusk and the sun was almost set. Three girls were waiting for soone behind the main building. The three girls were Seiren, Alada, and Wrena.
Their surroundings were deserted, the reason was that the dorms were at a distance from the main building. The chances of soone showing up were even slimr at this ti
But this place and ti were specifically chosen due to the privilege of being alone.
Minutes passed by and the girls started getting irritated as there was no trace of the person who called them here.
"Tch! Where the heck are you?" Seiren cursed as she kicked the ground and clicked her tongue.
"I guess it really was a prank," Alada voiced her opinion.
"Should we go back then? It's been quite a long ti since we ca here; around 15 minutes I think," this ti it was Wrena who spoke. She was getting sick of all this waiting and wanted to return to the dorms.
"No, let's wait a bit more."
"Huh? Why are you so fixated on this Seiren? Don't tell you're actually serious about this?" Wrena bellowed.
"What do you an by that?" Seiren turned her face toward Wrena. "Aren't you two taking this seriously too?! I an, that's why you ca here with , didn't you?" she blurted.
"Well…"
"Hehe, soone's at a loss of words~" Alada whopped, putting her hand on her lips.
"Don't laugh! You're in as much water as us, that's why you're standing here with us."
"I know, I know." She folded her arms and looked straight toward the grounds forward.
A couple of minutes later, when their patience was at its peak, a figure appeared at a distance.
"Hey look, soone's there," Wrena pointed in the direction of that figure as she announced.
"Looks like a boy, you sure he's the one?"
"Can't say. Though I more or less expected them to be a boy," Seiren asserted as she waited in her place.
The humanoid figure—who was apparently a boy—approached the girls slowly. As he ca close the girls were able to see him clearly.
He wore a cloak over the school uniform and his face was covered with a black cloth mask, his left hand was in his pocket, and with his right, he was clenching onto the cloak that was fluttering due to the gusts of wind.
"I am a little late I think," he mumbled as he stopped in front of Seiren.
"Are you the one who called us here?" she asked; her tone on the aggressive side.
"Sure I am," he replied; unfazed.
"You're late! You made us wait for around 20 minutes," she barked.
"That huh? Well, you can say this was ant to be a test of sorts. I wanted to see how much you all are willing to et and know. In short, I was intentionally late."
"And so?"
"You passed."
"Ah I see, should I be jumping with happiness right now? Because I'm clearly not in the mood for that. But first of all, tell what's the aning of this?" she asked loudly.
A second later she pulled out a piece of paper from the pocket for her skirt, unfolded it, and showed it to the boy.
"What do you an by this letter?"
It was a letter in her hands, and this was written on it:
[If you want to attain your desires and if you want to crush Ellyn, the thorn in your path. Then co et behind the main academy building, today at dusk. I will provide you with a weapon by which you can control her however you want.]
