"What the hell is going on?" Nashy noticed a subtle change in Malfoy's mood.

He felt that it was a mistake to remind his seniors of some unbearable past. Looking at the senior with a painful face, Naxi didn't know what to say to comfort the person in front of him.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Malfoy felt that he was having trouble breathing and couldn't help but stop.

At this moment, the sun had sunset, and the golden sunlight was slanting on the Valhalla Academy, and the two stood quietly.

The evening breeze blew gently, and Malfoy let out a long breath, and the shiver caused by the tragic past was temporarily relieved. After pondering for a long time, he still told his story to the junior in front of him who had just started, because even if he didn't talk about these things now, he would have to tell him in the future.

"I'm going on, you don't have an opinion, do you?" Malfoy said to Naxi, "Although the teacher thinks it won't be so quick for you to know, I've already said half of these things, and there's no need to cut off the second half." ”

Naxi's left hand gripped the brass staff tightly, and he was a little entangled in his heart, fearing that Malfoy would collapse in the middle of the story. He hadn't experienced more grief than he could bear, but he could understand Malfoy's feelings after witnessing two tragedies and experiencing one of them.

That's definitely not the kind of grief that ordinary people can bear.

"Speaking of which, I may not have escaped the catastrophe that day, but it was because I survived that I discovered the fact that Katrina was indulged by a demon from the Abyss of a Thousand Eyes. Malfoy's tone didn't give him the slightest sense of relief as he said this.

"As I said earlier, in addition to being Angelo's students, we were students who supported all the teacher's actions after the tragedy and helped the teacher track down the murderer. Although the process was ferocious, we never flinched, because our teachers were our role models, and we were proud to be war mages. ”

"Although several of us at that time had a very hard time, the feelings cultivated by the common adversity were incomparable to anything. I was in love with one of your seniors, but our relationship was still a secret and I didn't let the teacher know about it. Speaking of which, I'd love to go back to that story if I could. ”

When recalling this fond memory, Malfoy's face was filled with a happy smile that Nashi had never seen before.

"It seems like it's a bit far, but let's go back to how I found out that Katrina-sana was controlled by the demon of the Abyss of a Thousand Pupils. With that, Malfoy walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down with a step that was somewhat inappropriate for his age. accept

Seeing this, Nashi did the same, intending to listen to Malfoy's rest of the story.

"After the tragedy ten years ago, the teacher protected Katrina from being wronged in the slightest. Katrina, who had been in self-containment, slowly returned to normal, but her temper became a little irritable. We've seen her go crazy many times, but we didn't pay much attention to it. The teacher and we just regarded this overreaction as a sequelae of the tragedy, and did not take it seriously. ”

Hearing this, Naxi nodded and said, "I can understand this, generally after experiencing these things, no matter who you are, you will have a sympathetic attitude towards Katrina, and you will invisibly tolerate everything she does. ”

"That's right, we all began to realize that over-indulgence had made Katrina a little unreasonable. Although we, as students, could not scold this already very poor student to our face, we had reported this problem to the teacher in private. Mr. Angelo, who has always focused all his attention on tracking down the murderer, has of course noticed that he has neglected to discipline Katrina in the past few years. At our suggestion, Mr. Angelo found a time to talk to Katrina, intending to exhort his daughter to quit those minor problems. ”

At this point, Malfoy paused, then said, "None of us thought that this would be the cause of another tragedy. ”

"How so?" Nashy was surprised by this, "Could it be that Katrina is having trouble with you because of this?"

Naxi, who had already guessed that the tragedy was about to happen, felt that if this was the trigger for the second tragedy, then Katrina's motives became very unreasonable. Naxi suddenly found that it was really difficult to guess the bear child's heart, and if he met him that day, he would have to admit bad luck.

"Yes, we don't know what Teacher Angelo said to Katrina that day, but the quarrel between the father and daughter was heard by all of us students outside. Before that, I never thought that a flower girl would say such vicious things. ”

Naxi listened quietly as Malfoy continued, and the air around him was filled with a desolate atmosphere.

"But Angelo-sensei seems to have improved a lot after a fight with Katrina, and of course we would love to see the change. But no one expected that this was just the calm before the storm. At this, Malfoy's eyes were glazed, as if he had returned to the most miserable of years.

Nashi knew that the next story must be the last thing Malfoy wanted to remember, and he wanted to ask his senior not to tell it, but he couldn't say it himself. Because if he did it again, it would make Malfoy even more uncomfortable.

"We didn't have anything to do that day, because Katrina told us that she had learned how to make pastries and wanted to invite a few of us to come and try them. None of us at the time guessed that it was a trap, and of course we were very happy and gladly accepted the whole invitation to death. We all fainted after eating the drugged cakes, and when I woke up again, it was a scene that I will never forget. ”

Malfoy's voice trembled a little: "That's a rehash of the last tragedy, the kind of thing that only a demon can do." All but me were murdered by Katrina in the most brutal way possible, and she piled up their corpses into an unusually strange magic circle, and the floor was stained red with blood all over the floor. ”

"Feeling weak, I found myself in the middle of that strange circle, and Katrina, the culprit of all this, had red eyes as if she were oblivious to what was happening in front of me. My vision was a little hazy, and I heard her constantly calling for the demons in the Abyss of a Thousand Eyes. ”

"Advent call?" Naxi, who didn't know much about demon summoning, didn't understand what it meant.

"Well, it was a ritual to summon the Abyss Demon as a sacrifice, but unfortunately I couldn't understand which demon she was summoning from the Abyss of a Thousand Pupils, because the whole process required chanting a long Abyssal incantation. I don't know Abyssal Language, and I still haven't been able to figure out how the young Katrina learned Abyssal Language. ”

Malfoy's throat rolled as if the darkest page had been turned.

"If there was no accident, I would have become a vessel for the abyss demon to descend, but at the most critical moment, Mr. Angelo rushed back early. The summoning ritual was terminated, and I crawled back from the brink of death. The enraged teacher knocked down Katrina, who was controlled by the demon, but the imprint of the abyssal demon and Katerina's soul could not be completely erased. Afterwards, no matter what the teacher and I tried, we couldn't completely eradicate Katrina's madness, and we ended up imprisoning her in the forbidden prison of Valhalla. ”

Naxi, who had listened to the whole story, felt the weight on Malfoy. The classmates who shared the hardships together and the lovers who were supposed to be together for a long time died in an extraordinary tragedy, which is a tragedy that no one can accept.

At the end, Naxi stood and looked at the twilight that disappeared into the sky, and it was really not suitable to listen to such a sad story at this time.

He suddenly remembered a question: "The teacher plans to lock Katrina for the rest of his life?"

Malfoy covered his face with his hands, then let go, and said for a long time: "Teacher and I naturally will not give up, because the culprit of these two tragedies is not Katrina herself, but the abyssal demon who secretly indulges Katrina's soul. After several years of research, the teacher figured out a way to completely break the connection between the demon and Katrina's soul. It's about summoning it and then knocking it down completely. ”

"What? Doesn't that mean that we have to be like Senior Sister, killing a few people to summon him?" Naxi suddenly felt a little creepy, if the teacher told him to do such a thing, he would definitely refuse. Because after all, this is related to the living life, even if he can't be a ** teacher anymore, Naxi will not touch this bottom line.

"Don't take the issue to such extremes. Malfoy also stood up, "The teacher has found a way to replace the Blood Sacrifice Advent Summon, and we have about half a year to prepare." ”

"Half a year?" Naxi suddenly felt that if he faced the abyss demon who didn't know how powerful it would be after another half a year, the whole person would be uncomfortable.

"Now that I've finished telling the story, you have to work hard now. Malfoy said with a wry smile.

"I'm going to work hard now, is it my turn to fight against the demons?" Nacy was surprised by Malfoy's words.

"Why is it okay?" said Malfoy, "you're going to be the absolute workhorse, and you're probably more important than me." Otherwise, the teacher will not get you back. Do your best, and you'll be a great mage. ”

Half a year to become a great mage?

What a joke! Naxi would not believe this, and he suddenly felt that there was some truth in what Katrina said.

If you really want to crusade against the demon from the abyss after half a year, it is very likely that you will become cannon fodder with your own strength.
