Chapter 297






Mirim Distar slammed her fist on the armrest of her chair .

"Fine . If they want war, then war it is . Enough with finesse and schemes . I'm going to make all the necessary preparations to detain and quarantine all the academy staff until the traitors have been found . "

"This… this will have terrible consequences for the academy's reputation and the students!" Linjos stuttered in bewilderment . "Classes will be suspended, exams delayed . Not to mention we have yet to prepare for Balkor's incoming attack!"

"Not as terrible as more dead students would, Linjos . " The Marchioness understood his concerns, but she could see the bigger picture .

"A reputation can be rebuilt, the same applies to an academy . The dead though, have no such luxury . I don't want any more students endangered by political plays, nor the White Griffon to suffer from sabotage like last year .

"Get rid of some of the most useless members of your staff . I'm going to replace them with constables, some undercover, some not . We have an advantage our opponent lacks: we are the ones making the rules of this game . "

Linjos opened the Warp Gate of his office, allowing the Marchioness to get straight to her mansion .

'Gods, I hate how right she is . ' Linjos held his head between his hands in despair . All his hopes, his ideals were shattering one after the other against the harshness of reality .

'At this point, I can trust no one . Not even my inner circle . I'm completely alone, surrounded by enemies!' He banged his head against the desk, realizing how devious was the human heart .





***

'At this point, we can trust no one . Not even the Professors . We are surrounded by enemies . ' Solus thought with a sigh .

'Yeah . Same old same old . ' Lith shrugged . 'The trick is to keep our eyes wide open and our buttocks tightly closed, so no one scr*ws us from behind . '

Lith took off, flying at break neck speed towards the Mage Knight training hall . Since Wanemyre gave the students a single attempt at Bonding, the Forgemastering class ended before the gong resounded .

While she explained to those who had failed their mistakes, the others were free to leave . Thanks to the map in Soluspedia, Lith always knew the shortest path to his destination while his senses allowed him to avoid collisions in mid air with other students .

When Friya and Phloria came out of the hall, they were in the middle of a lively conversation about some technique they had recently practiced . Their faces were drenched with sweat which they dabbed with a towel around their necks .

All the students had an exhausted look . Most had bruises visible on their exposed skin, especially on the arms . Combat specializations were demanding both physically and mentally, often involving getting hit at the slightest mistake .

"Hi, girls . " Lith drew on himself hateful looks . Most of the boys hated his guts from the fourth year . Despite being three years younger than them, with his 1 . 66 meters (5'5") was already taller and with a better physique than them .


On Mogar, youths developed mostly during their thirteenth year . After that, there could be small adjustments until the sixteenth one . It was the limit after which the body stopped growing .





All of them hoped to become elite troops and while being tall wasn't necessary, it sure helped . They could only envy the kind of monster Lith would grow into .

"Hi, Lith!" Phloria was pleasantly surprised . Usually in their relationship it was up to her to take the initiative .


"If you give me an hour to catch my breath, we can train together with the sword before dinner . " She knew Lith was a workaholic . Phloria assumed that after his fight with the wyvern, he was eager to accept her offer to train him .

"Who do you take me for? Some battle maniac? Thanks, but no thanks . I had enough for today . I was more thinking about taking advantage of the lack of homework to take you out for dinner . "

Invigoration or not, Lith felt the need to rest . Phloria was the only person beside Solus with whom he was able to lower his guard . He wanted to go outside the academy to relax and talk freely .

Lith also used the assembly to have Solus scan the students for the mysterious items . He suspected there were more involved in the poisoning who Linjos hadn't managed to smoke out .

He was right . Solus spotted four more .

"Really? I mean, sure . " She replied with a dazzling smile from ear to ear .

"I still need an hour to make myself presentable . " Phloria drew on herself hateful looks . Most of the girls of the fifth year hated her guts . How such a plain looking girl managed to date a pin wearer was a mystery to them .

From Lith's dating experience on Earth, one hour was an optimistic estimate for an improvised date .





"Sure . I'll go visit Yurial in the meantime . Call me when you are ready . There is no rush . " He wiped a drop of sweat that was streaming along her cheek with his thumb . All the bruises on her body healed, her muscles and joints stopped aching .

Instead of getting tired because of the light spell, Phloria felt her fatigue disappear .

"How did you do it?" She was amazed . Lith hadn't used any sign or magical words .

"We are inside one of the great academies, so I'll go with magic . " He shrugged .

"What about me?" Friya hadn't missed how Phloria's breathing was back to normal or that she had stopped sweating .

"Sorry, three is a crowd . Find yourself a boyfriend . " He said taking off before she could give him the finger .

"I meant the healing, jacka*s!" She yelled even though Lith was already too far .

Yurial was pleasantly surprised to see Lith too . It was rare of him to seek Yurial's advice or help, which made him happy to oblige .

After the fight with Gadorf, Lith understood he needed a better grasp of the power of arrays . Since he was still stuck with Silverwing's Hexagram, Lith decided it was time to ask the opinion of an expert .

"Can you check if this is an array?" Lith asked after materializing a small golden hexagram between his hands .

"Sure thing . It's unlikely though . " Yurial's array detecting spell begged to differ .

"I stand corrected . This is an array and an impossible one at that . "

"What's an impossible array?" Lith asked .

"Arrays are spells that require a long cast time and that can be placed in a specific spot for a time . This one defies all the above . It disappears as soon as you stop spending mana and appears relatively quickly . " Yurial explained .

"There are several recordings of impossible arrays like this one, all left by past Magi . They are only used as training material for multi casting, though . They have no practical use and are considered nothing more than magic tricks . "

"How so?"

"Because they come with no explanation, no hand signs, nor magical words . Even if they had a decent effect, they can only be used with first magic . Turning them into real arrays would require to study their properties and then find signs and words to match .

"It's much easier creating a new one from scratch . Also, what use could possibly have an array that requires constant chanting and mana expenditure? The mage couldn't even move, being forced to become an easy target . "

"Maybe . Maybe not . " Lith pondered .
