Elia gently petted the cat. Like she doesn’t know anything.

Eugene, watching from behind her, was constantly clenching and unclenching her fists, showing her tension all over her body. She seems to be worried that Elia will get hurt, even to the point of her hair. Her attitude, which had seemed so bad until now, felt reassuring today.

Having someone who can respond immediately when an incident occurs is a great advantage both in terms of initial response and in terms of future response.

However, it is unreliable to leave it to Eugene alone, so Si-woo spoke softly to Seo-yeon.

“Because an accident might happen… “Prepare in advance a spell that can subdue you.”

“Huh? Ah… Okay.”

Seo-yeon saw the direction Si-woo’s eyes were looking and understood what Si-woo meant.

Seoyeon carefully tensed her circle and began to slowly build up her magical power. Siwoo also took precautions to prevent the cat from escaping out of the classroom, including locking all the classroom windows.

Other students in the classroom glanced at Siwoo once in a while, but soon lost interest. Why your studies are more important.

Siwoo, who had completely sealed off the classroom, walked next to Elia. When Siwoo passed by Eugene, Eugene kissed his lips.

“After today… “You will see that I was right.”

Eugene’s words contained a strangely strong confidence. She had no choice but to do so. These are the words of someone who has played this world dozens of times.

But only one. Siwoo, the person who could refute Eugene’s confidence, looked down at Eugene.

His expression contained a faint sneer and absolute confidence.

“That won’t happen.”

That time. The clock showed 7:27.

After that, Siwoo, Eugene, and Seoyeon didn’t move. The strange confrontation surrounding Elia with her triangle continued. Elia brushed the cat’s fur that occasionally twisted her body.

As if saying goodbye.

The minute hand raced, pushed by the second hand. The tension rose as the second hand completed the clock.

Eugene swallowed dry saliva more often, Si-woo looked at his watch shorter, and Seo-yeon felt increasingly ominous.

A sudden moment.

The cat’s body was twisted as if it had been squeezed.

Kiiiii-

A noise that could not come from living things echoed throughout the classroom.

A moment of obvious magical power surge.

Elia’s eyes are shaking.

The cat jumped up. Bang. Hits the classroom ceiling. Several pieces of the worm-patterned ceiling broke and fell.

The students stood up in surprise. Each person’s gaze is trying to understand the situation.

Seoyeon fired a spell. Binding magic. However, the calculation was not accurate. One of the cat’s front paws was broken.

Jo Yu-jin stepped forward.

Her brain, which was not hers, performed the calculations she asked perfectly.

Ice Arrow.

An arrow is shot. But the cat was no longer there. A deep dent was left on the classroom floor.

A cat crashing into the classroom door. Elia’s magic exploded.

Lightning Bolt.

A bright yellow bullet hit the cat’s abdomen. Electricity causes shock to the nervous system.

However, the blue light emitted from the cat’s body became darker.

The cat ran all over the classroom. He kicked out a window, knocked down a desk, and ran around the classroom. The figure seemed to be looking for a way out.

The escape route that Siwoo had closed in advance.

Students who understood the situation also used their own defensive magic. He also used attack magic targeting cats.

Seoyeon and a few students’ attack magic hits the cat. There were bruises on the cat’s body.

The blue light did not go out.

Nyaaag !

A cry that rips through the air. The cat pushes against the classroom door. The intention to run away.

Siwoo, who had been waiting in advance, held the classroom door. The door didn’t open.

A cat turns its attention to Siwoo. The sight of him behaving harshly was unusual. A body contracting as if about to rush at any moment.

At that time, Jo Yu-jin runs in.

The spell that appeared at the fingertips was rapid cooling. The magic that was loaded to kill the cat a week ago.

The cat struggles, but his muscles don’t listen. Jo Yu-jin’s fingers touch the cat’s back.

The cat started to freeze.

Elia walked over to the cat, whose body was becoming increasingly stiff, and hugged it tightly.

Her weakened claws scratched Elia’s school uniform. But Elia didn’t let go of her cat.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… I should have given you a name…”

Elia apologized in a trembling voice. But she did not want to save the cat.

Because that was impossible.

As Elia mourns her cat’s end, she blames herself for her inability to calm down her rampage and prays that her cat’s suffering will be lessened.

The last spell was cast.

Curtain of rest.

The electrical signals flowing through the cat’s spine stop. The cat’s body becomes limp.

The light fades.

Seo-yeon and Si-woo breathed a sigh of relief. Eugene clung to Elia and checked to see if she was injured.

Elia, whose school uniform was torn and frayed, was fortunately unscathed, much to Eugene’s relief.

Grrr-bang!

At that time, the classroom door opened in a hurry.

The homeroom teacher heard the commotion and rushed in. The large teacher quickly searched the classroom.

“Guys! What’s happen!”

The heat of confusion creates fragmented testimonies.I poured it out. Overlapping cries. The teacher identified overlapping keywords between the lines.

Cat. Mana runaway. Disposal. Death.

Assembling the keywords was not difficult.

After understanding the context, the teacher calmly opened her mouth.

“Oh, yes. Okay. I’m glad that the situation seems to have been resolved quickly. However…”

The teacher stopped looking at one place. She couldn’t say any more.

There, Elia was on her knees, hugging the cat’s body and shedding tears.

Elia’s silver hair covered the cat’s pure white fur. The colorful parts were covered by magic.

Elia closed the cat’s eyes, and she hugged the cat’s cooling body to warm it up again with her own body heat. She makes sure that the final road is not cold.

But unfortunately, the cat’s body only grew cold. The cat no longer moved. A huge loss broke her heart.

Her quiet tears contained deep sadness that touched the hearts of those who saw them.

“Nothing… I haven’t done anything yet… !”

Elia’s quiet scream echoed through the classroom.

Even though the teacher felt the tip of her nose wrinkle for no reason, she tried to organize the situation somehow.

“… Okay. First, I cleaned up the desk, and the cat called a company… “

“… Me, hehehe. “I will bury you.”

Elia’s tearful words.

After a moment of thought, the teacher nodded her head.

“I get it. “I’ll tell the magic math teacher, so don’t worry and come back.”

“Yes. Thank you… hehehe. Sorry.”

Elia bowed her waist, looking at the classroom.

The students all froze at the gesture of polite apology.

“Because I brought the cat to class… Because of my greed, I have caused trouble to you all. hehehe. I’m really sorry.”

The teacher hastily stopped Elia from crying and apologizing.

“No, no. This isn’t even any damage. Elia. Rather, it was thanks to you that I was able to subdue the cat that had run out of magic early. “It would have been more troublesome if he had completely become a demonic beast while running wild in the mountains.”

In that case, the magic-mechanized hybrid special forces would have had to be called in. The teacher tried to comfort him by smiling cheerfully.

However, Elia’s expression did not brighten.

At that time, Eugene asked a question without notice.

“Teacher. So what if we had known and dealt with it before the cat went on a rampage?”

‘In this situation…’

Siwoo’s face crumpled. The teacher’s expression also hardened slightly. It felt like I was blaming Elia.

Eugene seemed to realize it too late and was a bit stricken, but she looked at the teacher steadfastly.

The teacher answered in an unwilling tone.

“If the prodromal symptoms had been discovered and treated in advance… It was probably for the best. Because it can be easily euthanized before it goes crazy…”

Look at it, Eugene lifted her chin and glanced at Siwoo. Siwoo shook his head.

No matter how much you play the original, if you only see what you want to see, that’s what happens.

Siwoo took her gaze away from Eugene and looked up at her teacher.

“Teacher. “May I guide Elia?”

“Hmm… “Why you?”

“We can’t bury the cat on the school grounds, so we’ll have to bury it in a nearby mountain, but Elia hasn’t been to that mountain yet. “I think it would be quicker for me to guide you.”

To begin with, I don’t even have the ability to participate in magic math classes yet.

The teacher, who easily guessed what Siwoo was saying, nodded heavily.

As the atmosphere of the two of them skipping class was created, sparks flew into Jo Yu-jin’s eyes.

“Teacher! Me too! “I’ll go too!”

The teacher seemed to have been liberated by Jo Yu-jin’s enthusiastic gestures, and she gave permission.

She was a teacher who had seen Jo Yu-jin take care of Elia to the extreme for a week, so she didn’t even find it new to her anymore.

The three of them left the school before the morning assembly even started.

Siwoo led the way. Elia kept looking around to find a good spot for her, and while Eugene took care of Elia, he glared at Siwoo who was ahead of her.

At the halfway point of the mountain we arrived at after a long walk, there was a small empty space next to the hiking trail.

A suitable sized space to bury a cat. It was a place Siwoo had seen in advance while looking for a hidden piece a few days ago.

At Siwoo’s gesture, Elia began digging the ground with magic. A carefully calculated spell created a circular pit.

Elia laid the cat down and covered the cat’s body with dirt with her own hands. A small tomb was quickly created.

And she got down on her knees before him.

Elia put her hands together and clasped them. At that moment, a ray of sunlight fell through the leaves and illuminated Elia.

Elijah prayed.

The first prayer is for the departed.

Her second prayer was to repent for her own sins.

The third prayer is for those who remain.

After that, the prayers continued. To feel the sadness fully. To ponder love. To reflect on the doctrine. And again, for what was left…

Siwoo, who was quietly watching, tapped Eugene on the shoulder. Eugene’s eyes, looking back at her, were full of hostility.

Siwoo pretended not to notice and glanced towards the downhill road. Elia means to go down first and leave your mind alone. Eugene obediently followed Siwoo.

When they came down to the foot of the mountain, Eugene sneered angrily.

“I guess I was right in the end? Is not it? “If you had killed me while I was talking, none of this would have happened.”

At those words, Siwoo stopped his steps and turned his body.

There was no patheticness or contempt in Siwoo’s eyes.

There was only pity in his eyes.

“Hey, how come you don’t know Elia so much…?” … ?”

Siwoo’s sincere words.

But for Eugene, it was a bigger setback than anything else.

“I do not know… ? I don’t know Elia… ?”

Eugene’s voice trembled.

Uncontrollable rage swept through Eugene’s body. Emotions shook the circle. Uncontrolled magical power spread everywhere.

The words continued in that blue glow.

“I’ve been watching you for a lot longer than you… I’ve been watching you longer than anyone else in this world… Elia says I know best… !”

Magical power was concentrated in Eugene’s fingers.

“How dare you? What do you know about Elia? How many years have you been seeing Elia? Have you ever seen Elia’s heart in person?”

The gathering magic formed a structure.

Ice Arrow.

“You don’t know anything. Huh? Is not it? If it weren’t for you, everything would have gone according to plan by now. Ha, it would have been fine if I had ignored what you said from the beginning. “No wonder you came at that time and ruined everything!”

Eugene’s fingers vibrated with passion. A magic that looks as if it might be launched at any moment.

It seemed like it would pop out again and again.

The moment when her head finally burned with anger.

“Do you know how sad Elia is because of your poor sense of justice? Did you know!!!”

An arrow was fired amidst a roar.

The moment before death, Siwoo’s time stretched out infinitely. A messenger with the body of an arrow approaches.

Can not avoid. You can’t stop it.

The only answer is to intercept.

There is only one way to do that.

Magic Missile. The magic I had never thought about before.

The moment Siwoo wanted it –

Click.

A circle was formed inside Siwoo’s body.

A miraculous coincidence.

And, Siwoo performed the process that he had practiced over 100 times.

Kwaang-

An explosion sound in the air when an arrow and a magic bullet meet. Eugene’s body trembled. As is often the case with accidental violence, he seemed surprised by the magic he had unleashed. Eugene’s downcast gaze wandered across the dirt floor.

Siwoo shook off his clothes and spoke calmly.

“Okay… “I haven’t seen Elia like you in years.”

An honest statement. Eugene’s trembling eyes turn to Si-woo again.

At that time, the corner of Siwoo’s mouth twitched.

“But, I read that you failed.”

“Radish… Son…”

Eugene, who did not understand what Siwoo meant, hesitated. The momentum was completely broken. Siwoo walked with long strides and got right in front of Eugene.

Then he bent down and whispered in Eugene’s ear in a low voice.

“What’s the matter?”

A deep sneer.

“I thought you were the only one possessed?”

‘… !!!’

Eugene’s pupils got bigger. His shaking head turned towards Siwoo with difficulty.

Words that she could not believe even after hearing, but could not doubt, threw her mind into a state of panic.

From what extent did it go wrong? Her mind as she organized her thoughts became tangled and tangled like a skein of thread.

Siwoo’s questions continued as his brain was overloaded with thoughts.

“You’re possessed too, you understand? Answer me. There is a difference between killing a stray cat and living with it for even a week and giving it love. “Which do you think Elia will choose between the two?”

“That…”

Eugene couldn’t answer. Because she knew the answer better than anyone else.

She glared at Si-woo for a while, then passed him by without saying a word and headed to the classroom.

Siwoo turned her head away from her and climbed her mountain again. To talk with Elia, who must have grown further through this incident.

Two people meet each other under the sun. What those steps drew was a perfect parallel line.

＜Br＞ On this day, the invisible war between the two possessors began.

*

“… “You’re a possessor.”

Cheolsu laughed happily after reading all the material.

It was the vicious laugh of a wild beast that had captured its prey.
