Kuhn, Yuni, and I followed Haruna.

And the place we arrived at was.

Why have we come here all of a sudden?

A place very familiar to us.

It was the student council room.

Haruna looked at us with a smile.

I will be here during the war.

What?

Hmm?

I, too, tilted my head at her words.

Although I had heard that Haruna had something to protect, I was puzzled to hear that it was located in the student council room.

What's here?

You wont be able to see it with your eyes.

Hmm?

Haruna stretched her hand towards the ceiling.

Then, the surroundings started to ripple.

What, whats this?

This is

Kuhn and Yuni widened their eyes at the sight.

This must have been their first time witnessing such a scene.

But I knew.

Spatial magic?

It certainly resembled spatial magic, but it looked fundamentally different.

Something was happening in the spatial domain, but it felt different from what we were used to.

It was as if the world was turning upside down.

The rippling space gradually changed, and a place other than the student council room began to appear.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at Haruna.

Where is this?

This is the Holy Land of Terasant. The place where the Saints face their end, as I mentioned.

Surrounded by numerous jars.

So, these are.

Haruna walked towards the jars.

These are all the remains of Saints. They have been cremated and stored here.

This place

Its a location created with dimensional magic. The student council room serves as its door.

The student council room?

Why the student council room of all places?

The student council room couldnt exactly be called a safe space.

If it were truly a safe place, the vice principal's or principal's office would have been a better location.

I also dont know why the door is here. It was simply the will of our ancestors.

Ancestors?

Do you know how this academy was founded, Rudy?

I wasnt very familiar with that.

I only knew that it was an academy built in the early days of the empire.

In the past, magic, religion, and politics were united in strength. They were equal groups. Thats why the order was so powerful, and why this academy emphasizes equality. Its also why spatial magic is called a divine power.

Despite differences in status, they supported each other, speaking informally and growing their abilities.

Was that the reason?

Because everyone was equal in the past?

I had no idea there was such a reason behind the aspects I hadnt paid much attention to.

However, as time passed, these three paths diverged, some aspects merged, and some devolved. But as I just mentioned, traces of these three being together are still found in many places.

Haruna stretched her hand forward.

"The traces left in this academy are right here. The place where the Saints' bodies are stored, the Holy Land of Terasant."

Thinking about it made me start to see other aspects.

So, is that why a Saint comes every Homecoming Day?

Yes. Of course, they come for reasons other than predicting the future.

Do they come to check if this sanctuary is well?

Yes. Its good to have a quick understanding.

I recalled thoughts from past Homecoming Days.

Why a Saint comes every year to predict the future.

It was a bit strange from the start.

Why would a Saint come if they couldn't provide a proper prediction of the future?

I wondered if there was some kind of deal between the Church and the academy, but I had no idea about this past.

Anyway, Aryandor will probably target this place. Because it also contains the remains of Lady Beatrice.

A method?

Anyway, were moving to the canyon. Ill explain the strategy in detail later.

Yes, understood.

A method...

I really hate this. I truly hate it. Really, really, truly.

Haha, if people could avoid doing things they hate, then no one would do anything.

But why do I have to do this There are many more capable people than me

A vast plain.

A daunting canyon lied behind.

And far off, a cloud of dust rises.

Despite the great distance, I could see the entities there.

An undead legion, leading with giant golems and bone dragons.

It was the rebels.

The fact that they were the enemy was truly daunting.

This task should be for Professor Cromwell or Professor Mcguire... Not just them, there are other professors too. Im just a first-year professor What was Professor Cromwell thinking, assigning this to a rookie professor whos only been here for a year

Haha, he must trust you a great deal to assign you this task.

Two people stood at a distance from that dust cloud.

The strategy planned by the academy was simple.

The strong ones block with overwhelming force.

From the academy's personnel, two were selected.

The user of electric magic, first-year Professor Gracie Lifegold.

The user of flash magic, Principal McDowell Cliver.

A combination of the academy's most senior and the youngest professor.

War, huh Ive never done anything like this

Everyone has a first time.

Have you ever done it, Principal?

Haha, a few times, yes.

What, what was it like the first time you did it

It was similar to how you feel now. And when it ended, it was truly terrible. The ground was rivers of blood, and bodies piled up like mountains. I cant even remember how many times I threw up.

Heeek

But.

McDowell smiled kindly.

Thanks to that, the people behind me were able to be safe. A lot of blood was shed in that war, but I was able to protect my people.

Someone has to do it, right? What would happen if you got scared here and now?

Gracie turned to look back at the canyon.

Past this canyon is the academy.

If those monsters ahead enter the canyon, then the students, the professors, and the civilians living there will all die.

Youre a professor, arent you? You have to protect the students, the academy.

Right.

Gracie clenched her fist.

And then looked ahead.

The approaching army was visible.

She was scared.

Her legs were trembling, and cold sweat was running down.

The thought that she might die here today crossed her mind.

But she couldnt back down.

Because backing down would truly be the end.

Can you do it now?

I have to Im a professor, after all.

Gracies mana surged.

Her hair turned white, and blue lightning swirled around her.

McDowell nodded at the sight.

Then Ill go first.

Yes, Ill follow you.

McDowell extended his hand forward.

Flash, beam of light.

A giant light leaked from his hand, and thus the war began.
