Gruberu has been working at the Torlistine Academy of Magic for 20 years and is the backbone of the teachers, specializing in the magic of the fire system. How good he is at it can be seen from his other name, Gruberu of the Flame Serpent.

During yesterday's Spring Demon Summoning Ceremony, Louise summoned a mage to summon a Demon Envoy. This made Gruberu very concerned, the badge on the dress, if I remember correctly, had not been seen for 19 years, but what made him more concerned was the spell mark that appeared on the young man's left hand.

A rare spell mark.

So, since yesterday, Grubelu has been rummaging through the materials in the library. Torristin's library is housed in a main tower with a dining hall. The bookshelves are surprisingly large.

The bookshelves, which are about 30 meters high, are lined up along the walls and look particularly spectacular. This is also the way it should be. IT IS A PLACE WHERE ALL THE HISTORY FROM THE TIME THE FIRST ANCESTOR BRIMIR BUILT THE NEW TENEON OF HARUK GENIA.

The area where Gruberu is located is a section of the library, a no-go zone where only teachers are allowed to consult it. If Seamus were here now, he would find that there are some aspects of this place that Hogwarts really want, even more so if you add to that a librarian who likes to disturb students with a feather duster all day long.

Gruberu had come to the exclusion zone because the usual bookshelves that students could freely consult could not answer his questions.

“REBITEASYON”

With the rise and fall of the voice, a spell appeared in the air, and Gruberu flew around him to the study shed out of reach, and he began to search for information with all his heart.

I don't know how long it has been.

Gruberu's efforts paid off. He noticed what was written in a biography. IT IS AN ANCIENT BOOK THAT TELLS THE STORY OF THE FIRST ANCESTOR BRIMIR. Of course, unlike the pompous biography for the general public, the content recorded in this book is more secretive and truthful.

When the contents of one of the verses were imprinted in his eyes, Gruberu finally knew why he had cared about the boy before. Trying to compare the figures on the ancient books with the spell marks on the boy's hand, Gruberu was astonished.

In a panic, the magically manipulated body fell to the ground due to the distraction of its concentration.

Gruberu groaned, and then stood up slowly, after all, his body was not as good as it was at its peak twenty years ago,

Gruberu smiled bitterly, and then hurriedly ran out with the book in his hand, and he ran towards the principal's office.

"Ah, Gruberu, it's been a long time since I missed it." The familiar tone of voice is elegant with a slight sense of distance, but when you see the sincere and enthusiastic eyes of the other party, you will understand that it is actually just the playfulness of the speaker.

When Gruberu opened the door, he saw someone he didn't expect.

"Verne, why are you?"

Gruberu didn't expect to be able to reunite with his former friends here, and he was surprised to find that after all these years, Duo Duo was still exactly as he remembered.

"I haven't seen you for twenty years, but you are still so young, and the years of time do not seem to have left a trace of death on you." Gruberu's sigh inevitably had a hint of sourness in his tone.

To his emotion, Verne laughed and replied: "You should know, my friend, that although the goddess of time did not favor me and plucked my hair, I did not enjoy that extra time. In front of her, no one can cross the truth of equivalent exchange. ”

Hearing Verne amuse himself with his bald head, Gruberu laughed and went back to 19 years ago, when they first separated. It seems that the passage of time has not stopped their friendship and intimacy.

"Ahem, ahem. Although I don't want to interrupt the two of them, Ge, Gruberu, you should have something to do with me, right? Osman recalled that if it hadn't been for Verne's call just now, he wouldn't have remembered Gruberu's name, and he had worked together for 20 years.

[I'm really old]

"Mr. Headmaster, please take a look here." Gruberu handed the book he had consulted to Osman.

"Oh? Isn't this the demon of the ancestor BRIMIR? I'm going to look at such an old document again. If you have the time, you should think about how to collect tuition, wouldn't it be better? By the way, what's your name? Osman said, looking up.

Even Verne, who was standing on the sidelines, was extremely embarrassed after hearing this, and couldn't cry or laugh.

"Gruberu. Have you forgotten about jì again? With Verne's teasing smile, Gruberu replied cheekily.

"Yes, yes. That's the name. You spoke before I did. By the way, what happened to the book Gruberu? ”

Verne suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was much cuter than when he first saw him, and that the serious Osman was not as interesting as he is now.

"Please take a look at this." In order to prevent Osman from continuing to make jokes in front of his friends, Gruberu gave Osman the style of the sigil that appeared on Seamu's hand.

And the moment he saw it, Osman's face changed, his eyes flashed, and he showed a serious expression.

"Verne, that's why you're here, right?" Osman looked up and handed the book to Verne. He took it, looked at it, and recognized the meaning.

"Gandalfr" Verne said softly, three years later, he finally arrived, he thought it would be longer. A boulder that had weighed down on my heart finally fell, but it was soon weighed down by something heavier.

"It's not the time yet, he's not mature yet, he can't open it yet." Verne said softly to himself, then looked at Seamus in the crystal ball, who had already walked out of the classroom with Louise.

When discovering the secrets of this world, Verne originally thought that he would see the protagonist named Saito Hiraga in the original book here, or that Harry or someone else in the Iron Triangle might appear because of his butterfly effect, but he never expected it to be Seamus Finigan.

"I should have thought of nothingness magic, explosions, Louise Zero, so much in common. I'm getting more and more curious about this world, this same but different world. ”

Without looking away, Verne muttered to himself, but he was not worried about being heard by Osman and Gruberu next to him, because Verne's language turned out to be Chinese.

"I'll bother you for this time, Headmaster Osman." Verne said with a smile after coming to his senses.

"No, no, it's not a hassle at all. But let's be honest, the school has been a bit strapped for funding lately. My secretary's lady complained to me more than once that the salary was not enough to save and buy new underwear. Of course, I'm not asking you for rent or anything. ”
