Chapter 51: Ninas Quest
“L-Let’s do it tonight!” Nina said after snapping out of her daze.
“Tonight? Where do you plan on doing the ritual?” Miss Camille asked.
“We can do it at my ho. I have a large basent there, and my mother is also there,” she said.
Miss Camille pondered for a mont before shaking her head and speaking, “No, we’ll do the ritual here.”
“What? Here? In the academy? Isn’t that very risky?” Leo asked her with a surprised look on his face.
“Yes, but we have facilities here that can prevent mana disturbance. Activating sothing like resurrection magic will definitely cause a powerful mana disturbance to occur, and if sothing like that happens in the middle of the city, the place will be flooded with police in minutes.”
Nina Wraith couldn’t argue with Miss Camille about her reasoning, so she agreed, “Okay, but I will have to move my mother’s corpse.”
“You can do that by yourself. We’ll et you behind the school library at midnight.” Miss Camille said.
Nina Wraith didn’t linger there and imdiately went back ho to prepare.
“Are we seriously going to do this tonight? I don’t think I am ntally prepared…” Leo sighed.
After all, they were ssing with the dead, sothing he never imagined he would be doing.
“Honestly, the sooner we get this over with the better.”
“What should we do until then?”
“You can do whatever you want. I am also going to make so preparations. I cannot trust Nina to do this all by herself.”
Miss Camille disappeared shortly after, leaving Leo by himself.
And since there was nothing else to do, he decided to just go ho.
When he reached the old dorm, Leo found Hank standing right outside his room.
“Hank? Do you need sothing from ?” He asked.
“Oh, I just wanted to let you know about the investigation regarding your missing package. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do. The person who delivered your package insisted that he had handed the stuff to you, and without any leads to the person who might have impersonated you, it’s simply impossible to find the culprit.”
“I see… Well, that’s fine. I only wanted the package because I needed so clothes, but now that I acquired so money, I don’t need the package anymore. Thank you for your efforts.” Leo said.
“Alright. If you ever need anything, you know where to find .”
Once Hank left, Leo returned to his room.
‘Where’s Lilith? It’s awfully quiet here without her.’ He thought to himself as he laid on the bed without anything to do.
Out of boredom, Leo decided to look through the Artifact Shop again to see if he’d missed anything.
A few hours later, Leo could see a figure appearing from the wall through the corner of his eyes, causing him to turn his head.
“Huh? Leo? You’re back already.”
It was Lilith, and she was surprised to see him back so early.
“Yeah, we decided to co back to finish Nina’s Quest.”
“Oh? Does that an you’re finally going to resurrect her mother?” She asked in a curious voice, her eyes filled with anticipation.
“Yes, we’re going to do it tonight.”
“Tonight? That’s quicker than I anticipated, but that’s fine too. I can’t wait to see you use resurrection magic,” she smiled.
Leo raised an eyebrow and proceeded to ponder in silence.
“What’s wrong, Leo?” She asked him a mont later.
“Hey… If I really manage to resurrect Nina’s mother… Do you want to resurrect you as well? I’m sure you’ve thought about coming back from the dead many tis, right?”
Lilith’s eyes widened after hearing his question.
After a mont of silence, she smiled and said in a calm voice, “Leo, I really appreciate your thoughts, but it will take a lot more than resurrection magic to bring back from the dead. In fact, I’m not dead, so resurrection magic wouldn’t work on .”
“Oh, right… You’re just a soul.”
“Just a soul, indeed. If you want to help , you’ll need to create a whole new body for , and then you’ll also need to attach my soul to that body. This is sothing that requires a trendous amount of mana and talent to achieve.”
“I see… Well, if I sohow reach that level in the future and we’re still friends by then, I will help you.” He smiled.
“What do you an ‘if we’re still friends by then’?! Of course we’ll be friends! We’ll be friends forever!” She frowned in a cute manner.
“Even if you say that, nothing lasts forever, especially sothing as frail as friendship.” A bittersweet smile appeared on Leo’s face as he spoke, almost as though he’d recalled sothing painful.
“Leo…”
“Anyways, want to hear about my adventures in the Wilderness? I actually explored a labyrinth for the first ti yesterday.” Leo suddenly changed the topic.
“What?! Really?! Tell about it!” Lilith’s face imdiately beca filled with thrill.
He nodded and proceeded to tell her about his experience in the labyrinth until it was ti for dinner.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, it was almost completely empty. There were so few students in the place that they could be counted with two hands.
After dinner, Leo returned to his room, where he continued to talk with Lilith until it was almost midnight.
“I guess it’s about ti I start heading to the library to et up with Miss Camille and Nina. I hope nothing goes wrong…” He sighed as he got off the bed.
“Why would you say that? I wouldn’t be surprised if you just jinxed yourself with those words.”
After leaving the dorm, Leo made his way to the library while trying his best to avoid being seen by people.
Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the library, where Nina was already waiting for him.
“Where’s Miss Camille?” She asked him.
“I don’t know, but she should be here soon.” He shrugged.
Sure enough, Miss Camille showed up a few minutes later.
“Are you two ready?” She asked them.
“Yes.” They both nodded with serious looks on their faces.
“Then let’s head to the facility. Follow .”
