Mr. P appeared once again in a hidden place.
"Welcome… you damned people," he said calmly.
Everyone stared at him silently.
Suddenly—
A man wearing a crow mask emerged from the darkness.
Mr. P looked at him.
"So… you're the one who wants to work with us?"
The Crow Mask replied:
"Yes."
"But how many members do you even have?"
Mr. P answered:
"There's me and the two leaders at the top."
"Below us are these ten members…"
"And there are also ten reserve members."
The Crow Mask laughed quietly.
"You're few in number…"
"But suitable."
Mr. P narrowed his eyes.
"Where are you heading after killing Nicholas Villandord?"
The Crow Mask suddenly stopped moving completely.
"…How did you know that?"
Mr. P smiled.
"I know everything about my allies."
The Crow Mask laughed.
"Fine."
"I'm heading to the Gold Kingdom."
Mr. P stepped closer and whispered into his ear:
"Don't lie to me…"
"You're going to the Seal, aren't you?"
The Crow Mask answered immediately:
"No. I have no interest in that place."
Mr. P replied coldly:
"You can't lie to me."
"But don't you dare do anything strange there."
The Crow Mask smirked beneath his mask.
"So you want to know the Seal's location to break it someday, correct?"
"And you wanted me to join the Alphabet Organization to cover your weakness in offensive power."
Mr. P stared at him silently.
"You're not someone to underestimate."
The Crow Mask turned away.
"I'm leaving now."
Then he disappeared into the darkness.
Mr. P looked toward the people sitting inside the room.
"He's going to the Silver Kingdom."
At the same time…
Kazuya spoke to his friends.
"We should return to Aurelim."
Everyone agreed.
Mia transported them back using her magic.
Before leaving, she silently said goodbye.
The group finally returned to Aurelim Academy.
It was a day off.
Hina was sleeping peacefully.
Garo was training alone.
Most of the others had gone outside.
Kazuya and his friends immediately fell asleep from exhaustion.
Meanwhile…
Peter was sitting alone at the highest point of Aurelim Academy.
He quietly admired the beautiful scenery while reading a cooking book.
At the same time…
Gen was training to improve his magic.
Elsewhere…
The Crow Mask appeared before a strange monster.
Without hesitation, he attacked it.
The battle began.
But the Crow Mask was furious.
With a single punch—
He completely destroyed the creature.
A glowing magic crystal dropped onto the ground.
"Only four more remain," he muttered.
In another place…
Keith was training to become stronger.
Watari was also training to improve his techniques.
Meanwhile…
Mr. P stood on top of a tall mountain, staring toward the Silver Kingdom.
"The time to free you is getting closer…"
Suddenly—
A man appeared behind Mr. P and tried to stab him with a sword.
But Mr. P blocked it instantly.
"You're trying to kill me?"
He cast a lightning spell and burned the attacker alive.
Then he created a lightning arrow and fired it toward the forest.
The arrow pierced another hidden man who had been spying on them.
Mr. P silently walked away.
Back at Aurelim Academy…
Tom was teaching the students about weapon summoning magic.
"Lazrov is a spell used to summon the weapon most compatible with your soul."
Tom looked at the class.
"Who wants to try first?"
Kazuya crossed his arms.
"Weapons don't suit me."
Garo laughed.
"I crush enemies with my fists, not weapons."
Hamura stepped forward first.
The spell succeeded.
He summoned powerful magical arrows.
Then Lex tried the spell and received the same type of weapon.
Regina stepped forward next.
She summoned a gigantic long sword.
After her, Valdom summoned a sharp knife.
Soon, the lesson ended.
Later…
Kazuya, Shinagawa, and Regina went to eat together.
As they sat down, Shinagawa spoke excitedly:
"I need to master my fire control so I can move through flames and fully control them—"
Before he could finish—
Explosions suddenly echoed outside.
Everyone looked toward the window.
Peter was fighting someone.
Peter smiled calmly.
"You're not too bad."
The mysterious man laughed.
"You're not bad either."
Wind swirled violently around Peter.
Peter: Air Shatter
A massive blast of compressed air rushed forward.
The enemy blocked it using a shield.
Then the man used a sand spell:
Sand Prison.
Peter was trapped briefly…
But quickly broke free.
The man laughed.
"I'm leaving for now."
"But next time…"
"I'll kill you."
"I am the second commander of the Alphabet Organization…"
"Mr. A."
Peter stared at him fearlessly.
"And I am the strongest teacher in Aurelim Magic Academy."
"I'll be waiting for that day."
Mr. A smiled…
Then disappeared.
Peter ignored everyone watching him and quietly returned to his room.
