When Shirabe-sensei came to the tattered three-storey building, he muttered in astonishment,
"Although I have heard about it, this is terrible......"
I knew the feeling very well. Because every side of the house, including the walls and the other parts, was damaged and there was a draft blowing in the air. Last night, I'd wrapped myself in a blanket but still, it was quite cold.
"That's too much of carelessness. We don't know if some mad fellows like earlier come to assault. We have to promptly take action for this dormitory too."
Muttering to himself, he turned to look at me through his mask.
"You have a cut on your forehead."
Pulling a clean cloth from his pocket, sensei gently wiped my forehead.
"Your eyelids are swollen too. Mia, close your eyes for a moment."
"Huh?" I ended up asking back again in a pathetic voice.
"Close your eyes."
"Ye, yes."
As I closed my eyelids and waited, I felt sensei approaching.
For some unknown reason, my heart started beating painfully, and instead, my face turned burning red.
I wondered what was wrong with me? That was the first time I felt like that.
A warm feeling appeared on the right side of my head. And then...
"It's alright to open your eyes now."
"What?"
Letting out a questionable voice, I opened my eyes and saw sensei standing a distance away from me.
"How is it? It doesn't hurt now, right?"
"Hurt?"
Speaking of that, the pain that had been asserting itself so much seemed to have disappeared cleanly.
When I timidly touched my head where the stone had hit, there was my skin like always, without any injury.
"I have healed it. It's okay now."
When I touched my clean skin, an unknown intense embarrassment assailed me. I turned my back on sensei and tried to run into the building.
"Wait a minute. I'm not done talking yet," he grabbed my right hand.
"I want you to let me go."
I didn't want sensei to see my face, which was so red as if it caught fire, so I turned my head away and demanded just that.
Sensei put a note in my right hand.
"Hmm, I'm passing this resume to you. Discuss it with the others tonight," he muttered before turning around to walk toward the school building.
◇◆◇◆◇◆
If that was the case, it stood to reason that there was a hidden secret in the bag.
"Teresa, can I use that bag for a while?"
"Yes, sure. Thanks to someone disturbing me, I have to start this from the beginning."
Cliff stared back, cowering again like a puppy when he was hit with a cold stare that seemed to shoot at him.
Pluto approached me without paying attention to the conflict between those two.
"Mia, try using the bag first."
"I know!"
Receiving the bag from Teresa, a woman's voice came out.
[Now, everyone. First is putting charge Mana 2 in the bag. I wonder if you can do it. ♬]
Mana 2. For the time being, I decided to charge the bag with mana.
When I slowly filled it with mana, the bag was dyed in black.
[Too bad, that was 4. Try to fill the bag a little less.]
"Unexpectedly, it's that!!"
Pluto's face dyed in wild ecstasy as his gaze dropped to the material given by Shirabe-sensei. I also looked at it.
Inside the material in the chanting section of [Fireball], [Red flame "2", gather in your hand "8", power output "5"] was mentioned.
I held the bag and charged the same mana as [Red flame] of [Fireball].
Instantly, the bag was dyed red.
[You have done well. Next, try charging the Mana 8 in the bag]
When I charged the same mana as [gather in your hand], the bag changed colour to orange.
[What about the last 5 Mana?]
The bag turned yellow when I filled it with the mana of [Magic output].
[Marvelous! Easy mode has been leveled up to lv2!]
I also had a prediction about this bag's ridiculous system.
"Those numbers are the amount of magic that should be put into each segment of the [Magic Word] rune."
"That's!!"
In response to Pluto's excited shout, I gave him a big smile.
If that was the case, the magic should be activated when we invoked the [Magic Word] rune while putting the required amount of mana into each of the three magic segments.
"Mia! Let's clear this Easy Mode thing."
"Yes!"
I nodded loudly at Pluto and began to put in the mana according to the voice from the bag.
