"With magic ... a game?"
Rin was confused by Atrea's proposal.
"Yes, that's right. What should I do?"
Atrea ponders with her index finger on her mouth.
"How about playing tag?"
"Play tag?"
"Yes. If you can touch anywhere on my body, you win. If I escape to the clock tower at the entrance of the tower, I win. If you can't reach the clock tower by 15:00, you win. It ’s okay. ”
"..."
"Would you like to see the magic of a high-ranking mage?"
Rin looks at Atrea's delicate legs.
With my magical knowledge, I could beat her, but I felt that I had a chance to beat her if I was fast.
The rest depends on what kind of magic Atrea uses ...
"I understand.
"I have to do that"
To be honest, Rin didn't feel like playing a game, but he knew he couldn't get rid of this unfamiliar feeling.
Seeing the magic of Atrea may change your mood a little.
Anyway, I wanted to distract myself because it doesn't matter.
"Come on, it's okay for the first time at your timing."
Atrea reaches out to Takayo.
Rin reached out and tried to touch Atrea's shoulder, wondering about Atrea's leeway.
Then Atrea suddenly disappears when she touches or does not touch her.
"!?"
(Disappeared? Where?)
"Here"
Looking at the voice, Atrea grows only the upper body from the window glass of the building and is waving toward us.
The lower half of the body seemed to be inside the glass.
(It's in the glass !?)
Rin hurriedly ran towards Atrea and reached out, but she disappeared again when she was about to touch it.
"over here"
This time, I am growing my body from the puddle of rain that has just fallen.
(Can I put it in water?)
"It's amazing. You can put anything that reflects light and captures your appearance."
She is moving to the window of another building.
Rin had to turn his head here and there to find Atrea, who was moving fast.
"It requires a fairly high level of technology. You have to accurately capture the reflection of light falling on the surface of the water or mirror."
While saying so, Atrea moves to another window.
I changed further and headed toward the clock tower.
"Damn"
Rin runs away.
"Onisan Kochira. To those who ring"
Atrea whispers and moves from window to window and from water to water.
Rin was desperate to follow Atrea, who was changing one after another.
I almost lost sight of her just by blinking.
(How do you catch this ... Damn, if you have Theo, you can borrow wisdom)
——You can't leave it to others. If you don't think for yourself, you won't learn anything.
Atrea said as if to read Rin's thoughts.
Her voice heard from inside the glass echoes in Rin's head like an echo echoing from a distance.
"I said that. How can I counter this magic ..."
Rin was all about chasing after the shadow-like black afterimage moving from window to window and from puddle to puddle.
—— Let's give a hint. I can move from window to window, but I can't move anywhere indefinitely. Just follow the path of light. You can't move without exchanging light between the mirror surfaces. In other words ...
(Well, if you go ahead and block between the windows ...)
Lynn looks in the direction of the clock tower, which is the goal, predicts the glass or water surface where Atrea will move next, and tries to intervene and block it.
Atrea then began to move faster than before.
A black afterimage moves between the glass and the surface of the water like an agile beast.
(Now. Early)
Rin was pulled away at once.
She moved much faster than Rin's sprint.
Rin desperately chases after breathlessly. I almost lost sight of her if I slowed down even a little.
--Good luck. Basic magic should be enough to counter it. This magic is just the beginning. If you can break it, you can show me something more interesting, the view of the upper part of the tower. ——
"What is the upper layer of the tower? That's ... what do you want to aim for?"
——I used to be the same as you. I was happy just to carry heavy things and make the ring shine. But one day it wasn't enough. I want to be able to use magic more sophisticatedly and more freely. For that purpose, aim for the upper layer of the tower. Is that not enough? ——
"That's why. That's why it doesn't kill people. Why do we need to do that?"
——There is a certain amount of weight in what has been going on for a long time. It is a long-standing history and tradition that magicians fight for the residence of the tower. All the magicians who practice in this tower have fought. Fight and climb to the height of the tower to the limit of your ability and talent, and leave the magic you devised in the form of a book in the tower. And I'm dying. That is the life of the tower mage. ——
It's raining again.
Naturally, rain creates a puddle.
(Damn. This will make Atrea more advantageous.)
Rin was poisoned in his heart. The clock tower was just a stone's throw away.
——I don't know why the person you talked to was aiming for the upper layers of the tower. If you've decayed to the heights, you'll be a mage, even if you're in the middle of the road. Did you come here to become a mage? What on earth are you dissatisfied with and twilight like that? ——
"I'm worried!"
Rin shouted.
"I ... we have no guarantees for the future. We can't even stay tomorrow. We just keep wandering in the maze in the blindfolded darkness. Why are you ..."
——You too have been completely absorbed in the values of the academy——
Rin slips on a puddle. I fell flashy on the rain-wet ground.
"Tete"
When I try to get up, I see someone's feet in front of me. When I looked up, there was Atrea.
"All right?"
Atrea asks anxiously.
When Rin looked around, he was under the clock tower before he knew it. It was raining as usual.
"Apparently I want to win"
Atrea has a cool face as usual.
I'm tired of using that much magic, but I can't see one.
It's raining only around her. She seemed to be holding an invisible umbrella with magical power.
Rin realized once again that she was far higher as a mage.
"Haha. I can't beat you."
Rin leaked a dry laugh. However, as I ran and shouted, I felt a little clear and refreshed.
"How can I catch you?"
"If you can go higher and learn more magic, or maybe you'll be able to catch me."
The sound of a bell echoes from somewhere. It was proof that it was 15:00.
"Time. I have to go now."
Atrea regretfully goes away.
"See you later. Rin. I hope we can meet in the tower next time."
"You can always meet Renril and Alfurd."
Rin called out to Atrea's back as she walked away.
But she never stopped.
"I can't go to Renril and Alfurd. My mentor has banned me from going in and out, because those two cities have lost anything of value to me."
"With magic ... a game?"
Rin was confused by Atrea's proposal.
"Yes, that's right. What should I do?"
Atrea ponders with her index finger on her mouth.
