Make Haste, And Prepare For War

Two days before Ethan and the Allied Tribes entered the White Forest…

“Are all of you sure that this is where you last saw my students?” Professor Rinehart asked the three Wizards who had tried to capture Ethan and Lily when the two of them were running away to escape.

“Y-Yes! This is the place,” one of the chained Wizards replied. “I’m sure of it!”

Professor Barret, who was holding the chains, smiled.

“If you are lying to us, we will torture you again,” Professor Barret stated. “This time, we will not hold back and might even accidentally kill you all. I’m already old, so my hand might slip while holding the blade. I apologize in advance when that happens, okay?”

The ex-Magistratus’ eyes glinted with killing intent, which made the three Wizards shudder.

If they had known that they would personally be hunted by the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy and the Magistratus considered the strongest before his retirement, they would have left their territory long ago.
