(EP-130.1) Nova #1
130 – Ars Nova #1
Wednesday morning.
After finishing my class on Dead Language, I headed to the board room. Accompanying me was Mirna Draco, whom I attended the lecture with.
“Is it true that Professor Balan has awakened?”
“That’s what I heard. But we’ll have to see for ourselves to know the details.”
“I hope we could have some helpful talk.”
Mirna seemed more interested in Balan’s awakening than I was.
After all, she raided the Draco Family’s cemetery and stole most of the remains of their Dragon Soldiers. It goes without saying that Mirna had a lot of things that she would want to ask about Professor Balan.
Of course, I was also interested in Professor Balan, for personal reasons.
「Gamigin : High Rank Magic Spell. Turn the living into puppets. The higher the caster’s rank, the greater the effect.」
The high rank spell, Gamigin, that I acquired was what manipulated Professor Balan into some sort of a puppet.
To be precise, the magic spell itself possessed its own character and will, using Professor Balan’s body as a vessel.
How the hell did that happen?
I wanted to ask how she got a hold of Solomon’s secret magic. My thought process was, if done well, it would give me a hint in acquiring another high-ranking magic.
Entering the main building, just as I was about to push the board meeting room door open...
“Wait a moment.”
Mirna suddenly stopped me.
“What’s the matter?”
“Let me tidy you up before you go in. Look this way.”
Seureuk, seureuk.
Mirna fixed my collar and even combed my hair.
I was embarrassed for a moment because I remembered what my teachers did when I was young, but Mirna looked very serious. So I just decided to stay still.
“There, all done. If you’re going to be the Draco Family’s son-in-law, you should always maintain a clean and tidy appearance. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“And here’s a present.”
Seuk.
Mirna handed me something. It was a round, flat object with a handle attached to it. It was a mirror.
「Mirror of Rites: A shimmering mirror that reflects bright light when illuminated. Such light has an effect on laws.」
Judging by the message prompt, it seemed to be a special magic item or artifact imbued with unique magical properties.
“It looks very nice. You’re giving this to me?”
“That’s right. Whenever you look into this mirror, always reflect upon yourself with great significance as a member of the Draco Family. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
