Chapter 213 – 66 – In The Headmaster’s Office (part 2)
"What do you an by this make sense? What makes sense about it? Is experiencing things like that actually common?"
Zoemi asked in disbelief.
He also ended up grabbing Aspakeony's waist to stop her from fidgetting so much because her constant movent atop his lap was making it excessively hard to focus on her words.
"Hmm? Oh – no, don't mind – just thinking out loud about sothing else. I am connected with all of my corpse puppets even when I am not controlling them directly and sotis their thoughts slip into my mind and I blurt sothing weird like that."
The necromancer casually shrugged her shoulders and explain – although it kind of felt like she had that line prepared beforehand, causing a bit of suspicion in the attentive black-haired attendant.
|…|
Zoemi furrowed his brows and ended up closing his eyes for a mont, diving into the world of dancing shadows and reaching towards Aspakeony's shadow…
"…!"
He already had a vague understanding of the spell she was constantly using, but now the aspect he wanted to know more about has cleared out.
The corpse puppets had all the mories of their original lives and although they were indeed always connected, they were capable of obediently following the instruction left to them by the necromancer.
The soul wasn't there, but the mana left inside was capable of moving them – it was quite interesting!
…although that wasn't the ti for looking into the spell that could be used only on corpses…
"But then what was that doubled point of view…?"
Zoemi murmured in confusion.
"It might be a coincidence or sothing important, but I have no idea. But back to our conversation, you were saying…?"
The gray-haired girl furrowed her brows and tilted her head before asking.
"I… whoa…! I also vaguely rember coming into contact with a rather strange being that I can only associate with the bright golden light and imnse presence…"
The black-haired boy opened his eyes and twitched once he realized how close Aspakeony's face was to his own.
From such a short distance, he had a pri view at her captivating gray eyes that were focused solely on him, transfixed on his face…
…The gray-haired girl's full lips were slightly open as she gazed upon him, very clearly expecting him to continue talking.
"…but… it didn't tell anything in particular…? I an… I don't rember anything like that at least…"
Zoemi blushed and buried the idea about revealing to Aspekeony that he was a reincarnated person.
"Yeah… I bet she was feeling rather shy after all these years…
Aspakeony's face brightened with a soft smile and she giggled.
"She…?"
The black-haired boy asked, blinking in confusion – after all the gray-haired girl kept calling Presence 'it' before.
"Sorry, sorry – I actually have one of my puppets search for sothing and I'm trying to focus too much on two things at once and it blends together."
The necromancer shrugged her shoulders and gave a vague-sounding excuse before turning serious.
"…I knew you were special… But then, what happened that made it use its magic…? Did it have sothing to do with you?"
Aspakeony pondered over those questions and her thighs pressed Zoemi's sides.
"Do you rember anything?"
She took a careful look at Zoemi's face.
She asked leaning even closer towards the black-haired boy.
"No to …! But sothing happened to Burushi!"
Zoemi flinched and gasped, leaning so close to the gray-haired girl that their noses were basically touching.
"Burushi was murdered by a darkness magician that looked like !"
"WH-WHAT?!"
Zoemi exclaid, making Aspakeony shout as her eyes widened.
"What do you an she was killed?! One of MY precious students was killed in MY Academy?!"
She gasped, sticking extrely close to the boy – who didn't get flustered only because he was focused solely on the groundbreaking discovery.
"Yes! She told herself! She actually didn't want to talk to because she was convinced that I killed her, even though that definitely couldn't be since at the ti of that happening I was together with my master and teacher Rokiana! Or at least I was with them when the ti was reversed."
Zoemi explained and added after a bit of thought.
"By a darkness magician who looked like you…? But if it wasn't soone who just happens to be like you, that would only leave one of the Ghosts… But… No! That is impossible! I would have known if a mber of Ghosts of Bellcephora would physically appear in here! I would! I would because they tried to do that once and I managed to evacuate everyone eighty years ago!"
Aspakeony was extrely disturbed by the information and she instantly tried to explain her reasoning for that while clinging to Zoemi.
She looked both very panicked and extrely angry.
"Maybe it wasn't one of them and just another darkness ma…"
"NO! I know when an intruder enters my Academy! The only other artifact that I own except for the one creating the seal is a device that detects magic signatures and I have a puppet monitor it at any and all tis!"
Zoemi proposed another explanation, but Aspakeony shook her head and struck that option down.
"The only ti that it didn't work was when little Zorus ca to the academy – but that was only because of the bracelets distorting the mana reading! And there was nothing like that happening again!"
She declared, squeezing Zoemi's sides with her legs.
"Then I don't know what could have happened."
The black-haired boy furrowed his brows and sighed with a bitter expression.
"Is there another darkness magician or…!"
"…!"
He pondered, but then he suddenly flinched and looked straight into Aspakeony's eyes.
"Arisu can use the magic from other atribu…!
"Little Lazaram used every type of magic that he knew during the third-year's magic examination and according to Kross, he was capable of barely using shadow connect sine he focused on training other attributes for understandable reasons."
Zoemi gasped but his idea was once again instantly shot down by the dark-skinned girl.
"…oh… then I have no idea who was it – but it definitely wasn't …"
The black-haired boy slumped and murmured in a slightly embarrassed voice.
Actually, he rembered that in-ga Arisu's character also wasn't proficient with the darkness magic because it was considered as the magic for perverts and assassins by everyone else – but Zoemi thought that the white-haired capture target could be the culprit since he simply had a bad feeling about him, but apparently he was just overthinking everything.
"…that's sothing I will definitely have to investigate… Do a favor, kid, next ti you see little Burushiitto, tell her to co to my office – I would like to learn the details straight from her if you don't mind."
Aspakeony breathed out and shrugged her shoulders again before straightening her back and asking…
…while shifting her position once again…
"That's not a problem at all… but… tell – Burushi has a lot of mana, but nothing over the norm – is she like and rembers what happened because of so odd coincidence?
|…or is it because that this world is really a ga like she says…?|
The boy asked out loud, finishing his question in his mind.
"Oh? No, no. In her case, I fully know why she still rembers everything."
"…!"
