The three adventure hunters who heard this looked at each other in subtle confusion, as if they had some impression but couldn't put it into words at once.
"You guys... Mavis didn't listen well at all when he gave you magic lessons..."
"This..."
Turning their heads to avoid Zela's piercing gaze, these guys knew at a glance that they must have selectively remembered only things related to themselves.
"...I'm not interested in explaining basic magic knowledge to you anymore, so I'll just pick some important ones and tell you."
He held the key between his fingers and held it up in front of the three of them. Teacher Zera, who knew that this class of students was difficult to manage, had to explain it briefly.
"Star Spirit Magic" is a kind of ancient magic and belongs to the "possession magic".
If you want to become a real "Star Spirit Mage", you must first obtain the key that can summon the "Star Spirit", and you must also communicate with the "Star Spirit" to make a detailed agreement on the content. Only after both parties reach a contract can you officially
Summon them to fight for you.
Each star spirit corresponds to its own key. What this key can open is the door connecting the "star spirit world" and the "human world".
Among them, the colors of keys also have different distinctions.
The white and silver key is an ordinary key, and the other golden key is very rare. It is said that there are only twelve keys in the world, and the ones that can be summoned are the strongest stars in the "Twelve Signs of the Zodiac".
What Zera has in hand now belongs to the latter type.
…
"...and the most important point is that for the 'celestial wizard', the 'contents of the contract' must be abided by!"
"Can you understand?"
"Well……"
The blond young man with his eyes closed crossed his arms, digesting what Zera said.
Warlord and Precht understood it, and their eyes showed a hint of magic when looking at the golden key.
"...In short, it is a magic item that can summon some kind of "star spirit", right?"
Finally clarifying his thoughts, Yuri gave an answer that was just above the passing mark.
That's right, that's right, but Zera always felt that whether it was "Star Spirit Key" or "Star Spirit Magic", why did it seem so cheap when it came to this guy's mouth...
"Compared to these! Since it is such an interesting prop, why not give it a try quickly!"
"……well?"
After talking for a long time, you didn’t understand it at all, did you? Did he regard “Star Spirit Magic” as some kind of popular product?
"Please! Teacher Zera~"
(...this guy!)
Her buttocks were half resting on the table, her tone full of provocation.
——[Since you said it is so powerful, then set an example and let us see it by calling him out.]
This is what the face expresses.
This vindictive and petty person might just pretend not to understand. In his opinion, it is hard to say what a white and silver ordinary key is, but if it is as rare and special as the girl said, this golden key will definitely be summoned.
What are the restrictions?
The purpose is also very simple. He just wants to hear the brown-haired girl say "I can't do it." and then feel proud once again.
Don't dress up like an adult all day long. Little girls should look like little girls. Wouldn't it be better to be like Mavis?!
(...)
(interesting......)
It is true that Zella has never been exposed to "celestial magic" before, but since he has been able to develop some of his own original magic, is it not impossible to use magic from other systems a little bit?
Anyway, she had made up her mind. Even if she failed, it didn't matter. She knew a lot about the 'magic' that could make this fool suffer selective amnesia.
And they may never have imagined that the brown-haired girl 'knows' the chant and the origin of the key's pattern.
That's easy to say...
"...Hey, hey! Seriously!"
Under the surprised gazes of the three people, Zella slowly raised the key in her hand.
(Then give it a try, I remember the way of singing should be...)
"I... am the person who connects the road to the star spirit world."
(Well... the construction of the magic channel went surprisingly smoothly...)
"You... sensed the call and came through the door."
(Then...it's time to call 'her' name!)
The luster of the flowing magic appeared on the keyhole, and the ring-shaped rune circle turned into a door buckle and slowly grew larger.
"Open it! The door of the Virgin Palace!"
The sound of opening the door has already sounded.
"Baluge!"
Accompanied by the pleasant ringing and white smoke, the protoss girl who responded to the call appeared gracefully.
With a slight movement in her eyes, this young maid with cherry blossom hair, blue eyes, and an iron bracelet on her wrist came to Zera and bent down.
"Are you calling me? Master."
(This can be considered...success...)
Turning her head and looking at the three adventure hunters whose mouths could fit steamed buns in, Zera smiled with satisfaction.
…
"This is the first time we meet, everyone. I am a star spirit born to serve my master. My name is Baluge."
Putting her hands in front of her, the maid girl standing beside the wheelchair nodded slightly, and at Zera's signal, she greeted the trio who reacted.
Since the content of the contract could not be finalized for a while, the brown-haired girl discussed it with the maid girl and decided to gradually improve it in the future.
But the golden star spirit had no objection to regarding Zera as his master, even if she was not yet a regular "celestial spirit mage".
Maybe it's because the seal was broken before and she was freed?
"...Hmm, what's so strange about maids like this that can be seen everywhere on the street? Are they the only twelve constellations?"
It was obvious that he had been distracted by Baluge's cute appearance just now, but now the idiot with a slight blush on his face began to display his "fearless" spirit again.
Under the maid girl's terrifyingly calm gaze, they stayed away from Yuri. Precht and Warrod were still very wise.
"Master, can I punish him?"
"Oh, just don't kill me."
"...!"
After receiving her master's approval, the star spirit girl's hands lit up as a sign of activating magic.
After getting to know each other through Zera's introduction, Mavis understood the cause and effect and admired Yuri's unyielding behavior.
"So, can we talk about it? What kind of trouble has our little princess encountered?"
Although the feather-eared girl's attention was suddenly diverted because of Baluge's incident, Zella still carefully noticed her absence.
He has been acting weird since he came back, either lowering his head or twirling his fingers.
It's simply suffocating.
"..."
After another silence for a while, the little guy raised his head slightly, his face still full of confusion.
"Zera..."
"Have we really... helped this city find a future?"
"...!"
(...Sure enough, something happened...)
As they sorted out the information bit by bit from Mavis' mutterings, the increasingly serious topic also made the adventure hunters on the side fall into thinking.
…
(Magic Council... I didn’t expect it to be them. Sure enough, the previous commotion was too loud...)
Knowing the source of Mabius's troubles, Zella also remembered this organization that she didn't want to deal with.
If it were just the Dark Guild, it wouldn't cost them so much, but the appearance of the "demon" would be different.
The monsters in the "Book of Zeref" have always been taboo on this continent, so it's no wonder they can't sit still.
But this is indeed troublesome. If they report what happened here, the buffer period for the city to just recover from the blow will be completely gone.
Whether it is "Devil Lalabhai" or the super magic "Light", it is not something that can be simply ignored.
In addition, there is indeed no guild here, so the other party can be said to have taken full advantage of it.
Looking at her companions who had fallen silent, Zera, who had already figured it out, sighed slightly.
Everything here seems complicated, but in fact it is just missing an ‘opportunity’.
The birth of a legend that did not deviate from the trajectory of destiny.
"...Mavis, have you ever thought about it?"
"If there is no 'guild', wouldn't it be enough to build one?"
"——!"
The gears belonging to the "goblin" began to turn. (To be continued)
