Lichten Academy, Magic Experint Building.
This place, known for its notorious reputation as Lichtens lighthouse, had lights that never went out even in the middle of the night.
Professor Suzy Dismal of Clinical Magical Pharmacology.
Her laboratory was one of those so-called lighthouses.
In a D shape, with all walls except the door filled with various flasks and experintal tools.
Originally, Professor Suzy Dismal, covered in dark circles, used to conduct research alone in this space, but things were different now.
Its still a gloomy laboratory.
Long, violet hair flowing down to her waist.
Violet, the professor specializing in magic circles and the instructor of the zai class, glanced around the laboratory.
Despite the sowhat impolite comnt, Suzy Dismal continued her experints without any reaction, fixing her glasses.
Violet pursed her lips and asked Suzy.
So, when are you going to tell us why Ian ca here?
Obsession persists not only when youre a student but even after becoming a professor.
Hmph. If the talent is that outstanding, its natural to be obsessed, right?
Suzy Dismal, who chuckled at her forr academy classmates sentint, adjusted her glasses.
Then, with gloved hands, she extended a small flask. Inside was a powder of blue color.
Violet lowered her head towards the flask.
What is this?
The scientific na is Cyanius Funugus. Simply put, its a blue mushroom.
Hmm. It seems like a color you shouldnt eat. Just in case, dont eat it even if youre hungry. More than that, I wonder why student Ian ca here
He brought this.
The words flowed as if slipping away.
Violets eyes widened.
This?
Yes. Cyanius Funugus. When consud biologically, it exhibits dangerously strong toxicity. And when made into powder like this, it maximizes the negative senses of the ingested subject. The main symptoms include hallucination, cognitive impairnt, forgetfulness. And it also charms other subjects.
Suzy Dismal, rummaging through the shelves, also handed Violet a small packet.
[Redy for a Peaceful Mind]
He brought this packet as well. He asked to confirm if the ingredients are similar. After checking, they almost perfectly match.
But why on earth?
Violets face showed confusion.
Where could Ian, that kid, have gotten such a thing?
Suzy shrugged her shoulders.
He asked to make an antidote, just in case.
An antidote?
Yes. This is one of the ingredients commonly used to process into a conduit for the Bloodstone Cult. Those guys usually absorb others magical and vital energies through blood, but those awakened using this can absorb abilities through mucus alone. And quite rapidly, too.
So, is Ian expecting the appearance of the Bloodstone Cult on campus Is that what hes thinking?
Probably sothing like that.
Suzy Dismal murmured, rubbing her chin while tinkering with the sample.
Violet was speechless for a mont.
Detecting mbers of the Bloodstone Cult was an area in which the academy managent was secretly doing their best behind the scenes.
There was an incident of a blackened student a while ago, but that incident was conclusively resolved as an accident.
If it hadnt been entrusted to Ian, Violet would have just brushed it off with a laugh.
The problem was that it wasnt the case.
If Ian Blackangers said such a thing, it was worth checking at least once.
Then a sudden thought.
Why didnt he co to , his assigned professor, but went to this woman?
Now that she thought about it, this woman had the ability to captivate n even during her school days when she was locked in the lab with her research.
Violets eyes narrowed as she looked at Suzy Dismal.
Why are you going this far for a students request?
A jealous gaze filled with Violets eyes.
Suzy Dismal smiled slyly.
Got sothing in return.
What did you get?
A secret.
Smirking, Suzy Dismal replied to Violet, who protruded her lips.
When exposed to moonlight, the intensity of that increases. If Ians speculation is correct, sothing big might happen soon.
Violet looked out the window.
A large full moon was rising.
It might be a good idea to tell students to be more careful.
The crimson-stained dian House.
Ian stood still for a mont, watching that scene.
Around a radius of about a hundred ters from dian House, it was red.
If you were to turn your head to find the cause, it was because a do-shaped barrier surrounded the area. The purpose of the barrier was cognitive impairnt.
In essence, they separated the dormitory from reality.
The purpose of all these devices was to buy ti for the Bloodstone Cultists to absorb power.
Their nature was such that they beca stronger by just absorbing the blood or vitality of others. Once they set their minds on occupying the dormitory, they would strive to suck in as much blood as possible.
In the process, if the professors noticed and intruded, the result was obvious. The professors of Lichten Academy had enough power to suppress even awakened Bloodstone Cultists.
Thats why the timing of the barrier unfolding was now.
Outside the barrier, dian House would appear as serene as usual. Since curfew ti had passed, there wouldnt be anyone bothering to co.
The task at hand was to sohow deal with the red-stained dormitory within the barrier, among the novices.
Its really creepy.
Even the appearance matched the screams.
The atmosphere itself was unsettling.
Inside were about four or five Bloodstone Cultists and one main villain of the story.
In that regard, there was no need to be too frightened. It was closer to a ti attack than horror. The goal was to deal with the Bloodstone Cultists located within the barrier before they beca even stronger.
I dont really need to take the forefront.
The first act, on a full moon night. This scenario marked the beginning of the event where the Bloodstone Cultists who had invaded Lichten would start to assert their presence.
Bloodstone Cultists.
The values they worship are essentially power.
They are willing to suck the blood and vitality of humans without hesitation for their growth.
And when this ti cos, Lichten Academy is flooded with students burdened by inferiority.
Before entering the academy, they were quite arrogant, prodigies with strong shoulders and stiff necks. However, no matter how much talent they gathered, there would always be a lower tier within.
Perfect prey.
Taking advantage of the vulnerable minds of those students who were willing to give up anything for power.
That was the preaching thod of the Bloodstone Cult optimized for Lichten Academy.
Well then, shall we start getting ready to go in?
Glancing around, a few male students caught within the barrier while unfortunate enough to be walking on the streets were visible. At least, there wouldnt be any misunderstanding about breaking into the girls dormitory as an excuse for entering.
Ian calmly organized his position.
There was no need for him to wander around busily.
Due to the nature of Fantasy X Academy, the first act is a scenario where one of the heroines takes action for the first ti.
Given the characteristic of the story where the final villain of the act is not determined, the active heroine can vary depending on the circumstances. Of course, the most likely heroine at the mont was Sharon Pierce.
Having seen her entering dian House, and considering that other heroines would find it difficult to confront a Fla Elental Mage who has beco at least twice as strong.
Why did she suddenly co here?
That was sothing to figure out later.
Anyway, rather than actively intervening in the events, it was necessary to investigate the movents of Sharon Pierce. Whether she would actively try to solve the problem or not.
Moreover.
It was an easily forgettable fact, but dian House was, after all, a girls dormitory, a restricted area.
Having obtained the opportunity to enter the girls dormitory legally.
Lets take as much as we can.
rcy stared at the girl in front of her.
Lina Rosewells eyes were bloodshot and red.
There was definitely sothing strange about her.
Ah. I stayed up all night last night.
But it was different from the Bloodstone Cultists.
Lina Rosewells voice was still warm, and conversing with her naturally made the heart calm.
rcy was dragged as if captured by Lina Rosewell.
Although she thought it was the exit, it was stairs leading upwards.
Lina Rosewell spoke.
Lets go this way.
Uh, Lina. Instead of hiding, isnt it better to run away
Suddenly, the contents of the prophecy ca to mind. Until now, it had been accurate in everything. Instead of hiding, run away.
Dont worry. There should be nothing.
So they arrived on the third floor.
Lina opened the door without hesitation. rcy followed her into a room.
[Lina Rosewell]
It was a warm room.
Pictures taken with friends, nurous letters, and exchanged gifts.
Excuse .
Huh?
Arent the other rescue teams coming?
Rescue teams?
Through the mirror placed on the desk, Linas face briefly reflected.
The corners of Linas mouth rose.
At that mont, a chill ran down rcys spine.
L-Lina, your hair has turned completely blue, and your eyes are completely bloodshot.
Oh, this?
Step by step, Lina approached, causing rcy to take a step back.
Hey, just stay still for a mont.
Where.
But this room was small.
There was nowhere to escape.
Creak.
rcys leg got caught on the bed, and she fell onto it.
She wanted to resist sohow, but she was overwheld by Linas montum.
Who are you?
At this mont, Linas magic was so overwhelming that it could be felt even without using mana detection skills.
Step by step.
Dont be too scared. It wont hurt too much.
Lina approached and stood in front of the bed.
rcy, who was about to get up as if preparing for a punch, found that her body wouldnt move at all.
Its useless. Ive bound you.
rcy collapsed on the bed.
Lina Rosewells knee was placed between her pale white thighs.
Lina leaned forward, bending her upper body towards rcy.
Ugh! Ugh!
Even though she tried to shout sothing, her voice wouldnt co out.
Tears welled up in rcys eyes.
Oh my. What a sha.
Lina Rosewell fully climbed onto the bed.
Her hands intertwined with rcys.
Then, Lina slowly lowered her body.
Lick.
Linas tongue stole rcys tears.
Ill make sure it doesnt hurt.
Linas breath was incredibly warm.
