Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Call Edward
The incident that occurred in the city of Illois, the attack by dark magical animals that injured several people in the streets. Now, it was handled by a grade 2 or 1 wizard. This incident happened and at that time there were academic students who helped. Lucas and Peter came face to face with Professor Bathilda in the study. The woman looked impressive and beautiful even though she was wearing a formal uniform.
"This case has been investigated by Adept Wizards and Expert Wizards. The attack of dark magical animals in the city of Illois is very suspicious and endangers the population. Dark magical beasts would not dare to appear in a crowd, let alone in a densely populated urban area.
"Maybe there is a wizard controlling that dark magic beast?" Lucas expressed his opinion. However, even up until this moment, Lucas had no idea and continued to think about the strangeness that had happened. The appearance of a dark magical beast in the city and attacking people in the street crowd is very strange.
"It could happen. After all, there is an organization that has recently surfaced. Taking advantage of the tense situation between non-wizards and wizards. An organization that demands the protection of the non-wizards."
Lucas snapped his fingers. "Justice, Honor Of The Non-Wizard. A non-magician organization is holding a demonstration on Moonlit Street in Illois City. A woman with short hair and a boy with bowl hair."
"That might happen. But let the higher-level wizard investigate, you're still beginners and don't have a rank yet. You better prepare for the semester exams next."
Lucas puffed out his cheeks. He felt very challenged if he participated in this investigation, and besides, his curiosity was very high. Unfortunately, Professor Bathilda wouldn't let a first-year student go on a dangerous mission before he had an official ranking. Such an old system makes it impossible to do anything.
There's no need for that anymore. However, Professor Bathilda asked him to stay in his office while Peter waited outside. Professor Bathilda's expression grew increasingly serious. The woman paced back and forth, her arms crossed over her chest. "I don't really want to tell anyone about this, including you. But... this is very important, and Professor Abbe really needs help."
Lucas knew that Professor Abbe was the homeroom teacher of Class 1A and was close friends with Professor Bathilda, but Lucas didn't know her at all and had met her once at a welcoming event for first year students.
Without prejudice and against the law, novice wizards who have not yet attained a rank are forbidden to undertake missions without the authority of the Academic Head or the leadership of the Moon Country. The woman asked him to investigate the non-magical organization Justice, Honor Non-Wizards. The group has been around for a few years, not that long. But some say that this group of organizations has been around for a very long time. But the organization disappeared and came back after the incident twelve years ago. No one knows for sure.
Even though this task is very important. Only second and third year students are allowed to perform tasks or missions directly ordered by the academics.
Lucas is quite capable of completing the task given by Professor Bathilda.
"I am not forcing you to do this secret mission because it is really against the academic code of ethics. The task you are doing is confidential. You must do it as well as you can." Professor Bathilda advised, looking worried, and asked Lucas to be careful about entrusting this mission to one of his trusted students. If so, it would be a serious problem.
Professor Bathilda only briefly explained Lucas' mission. There was one other thing Lucas wanted to tell Professor Bathilda.
There is a thing where Lucas won't tell his secret to anyone, including Peter. It can be inferred that this is not really a secret, including the attack on the Illois Magic Academy. The appearance of people taking black magic items and the possible appearance of non-magical organizations. These two things are closely related. "Attempted attacks from both sides? Creating chaos between wizard and non-wizard?"
"Attempted attacks from both sides? Creating chaos between wizards and non-wizards?"
"Lucas, don't you want Peter to get involved in all this? You could ask him for help."
"Recently, Peter's abilities have begun to develop, but he seems to feel burdened. He's my friend, I can't force him."
"What about you?" Professor Bathilda asked. The woman's black eyes looked bright behind the glasses she always wore.
No matter how hard Professor Bathilda teaches her students, she is cold and cruel. But the curly-haired woman also had a soft side. Lucas had felt very comfortable here for some time now, after running away from home and having a strained relationship with his parents.
"Lucas, your mom and dad still love you. Call them when you get a chance."
The smile was very sincere and strange memories floated through his mind. Someone in the past had smiled so sincerely, but who knew where and who? Lucas couldn't remember.
On the way to the classroom, Lucas kept thinking about Professor Bathilda's words. So far, Lucas was still hesitant to contact Edward and Karina, especially when he accidentally turned on his cell phone, which suddenly turned off. So many unanswered calls and so many messages. The calls and messages were all from Karina.
All the messages contained expressions of Karina's sadness, fear, and anger. Lucas was again hesitant to contact Karina, but there was no problem at all if he contacted Edward.
There are still fifteen minutes until the end of the break. Lucas looks for a comfortable place to sit. The Illois Magic Academic Building has a unique design, each classroom has a small balcony, usually when students are bored, they choose to relax on the balcony and enjoy the beautiful view.
This time, the balcony was quiet and there was no one relaxing here. Lucas closed the door and put on the cover, not wanting his friends in class to see him calling someone. The glass door went pitch black.
It didn't take long before the call was with someone Lucas had missed so much. Edward, the father figure, is humorous and always makes conversation fun. The first thing Edward asked was how he was doing.
"It's very nice here, Dad."
[Is that so? Dad doesn't have to worry about you anymore].
There was silence for a moment, no conversation at all, and Lucas didn't know what else to say. The only thing that came to his mind was to ask about Karina's news, but his mouth seemed to have trouble expressing anything.
[Mom is fine, she probably just missed you. Don't worry.]
Even though Lucas and Edward only communicated by phone, it was as if the man could read his mind.
[Go home for a while. Mom and Dad are waiting for you at home].
Lucas replied briefly and maybe after the semester exams were over, there was a week's vacation, Lucas took the time to go home. One thing was still on his mind.
"Does Grandpa know that I joined the Magic Academy?"
[Your grandfather already knows, and Father himself asked him for advice. He allowed you to enter the Magic Academy]
Unexpected surprise. His grandfather was the leader of the faction that currently rules Empyrean Blue, and his grandfather was a non-wizard. Unexpectedly, the old man, who had a strict and frightening character, accepted his beloved grandson into the Magic Academy.
Edward on the other end of the phone chuckled.
[Grandpa was just angry when you threw a tantrum at the First Grade Welcome Ceremony and almost got caught. Grandpa urging the Head Academician to accept you]
Like that. At least his grandfather's intervention allowed Lucas to enter Illois Magic Academy.
Lucas will feel a little awkward and his childish attitude will disappear for a moment. However, after contacting Edward, he felt a little relieved and no longer burdened. He was able to put on an annoying smile again, and his smile became even brighter when he saw Cloe like a statue. Pensive and just staring at the ceiling of the classroom.
The girl didn't seem to notice Lucas standing right in front of her. Their faces were close together. It took Cloe five seconds to notice. He screamed loudly and swung his hammer, but Lucas was faster and dodged the hammer blow that flew toward his face.
"You really can't take a joke." Lucas waved his hands in the air, revealing an innocent face like that of a child.
Cloe gripped the hammer handle tightly. "Lucas, you have disturbed me again. Your life will vanish in my hands."
Very scary. Lucas shrugged his shoulders, showing an expression of fear that was clearly fake.
