On the sixth day of the Foggy Moon, the accident finally happened.

The cause of the incident was that Zeny was absent from the principles of magic class for no reason, and the apprentices were already dissatisfied with him, so they took the opportunity to make trouble, alarming Dean Kozmo. This is not the first time that an apprentice has complained about his mentor, and as a matter of practice, the dean did not intervene directly, but instructed the apprentice council to investigate and give a written recommendation.

The head of the apprenticeship's guild was Alfred, who gave Casper the task of calming the new students, and commissioned the senior mentor Doe to talk to Zeni.

But Zeny did not reappear, and he disappeared into the academy like air.

Just as the apprentices are clamoring to find Zeni, there is another missing person, and Doe carefully discovers that the apprentice Fresen has left his post without permission, not in the library or in the dormitory.

As soon as the news spread, Bromin College boiled. Kozmo immediately took urgent measures, gathered all the mentors and apprentices, named them one by one, and mobilized the mentors to search every corner of the academy.

By dusk, it was finally determined that Zeny and Fresen had mysteriously disappeared.

Then, even more alarming news circulated among the apprentices, and late the night before their disappearance, Zeney and Fresen had been seen entering the library one after another, and their whereabouts were particularly strange after the bedtime bell had already sounded.

The rumors spread quickly, and by the next morning, the legend of the library's devouring people had become a well-founded fact. The academy was enveloped in an atmosphere of unease, normal teaching was disrupted, the apprentices were talking too much to set foot in the library, and even the instructors were quite taboo.

There was no indication that their lives were in danger yet, and out of some concerns, Dean Kozmo did not want to alarm the guards stationed in Black Pine, so after careful consideration, he decided to give Doe carte blanche to investigate the matter.

Dooy Facuno, a mid-level magician, executive director of the Magic Society, a top student of Ayudin Academy, has been a tutor at Bromin Academy for twenty-three years, teaching fire magic, and is the right-hand man of Dean Kozmo.

Instead of making a big splash, he selected a group of mentors and apprentices to form an investigation team to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the missing people. The reason why it was carried out secretly was to avoid the panic from continuing to spread, triggering an avalanche effect, and eventually leading to a total collapse of the teaching order. Although the odds of this happening are slim, Doe decides to err on the side of caution.

In addition, he called for the resumption of night patrols and the transfer of manpower from mentors and apprentices to prevent possible accidents. In my opinion, this move is a remedy, and at best it is only a gesture, and it is difficult to achieve real results.

After the disappearance, Casper stopped showing up as often, and I felt a lot more relaxed. According to Winnie, both he and Alfred were core members of the investigation team, and they were busy from morning to night, often skipping food.

I'm a first-year freshman, and I don't know Doe well, so I was naturally excluded from the survey. I was displeased that the future lord of Bromin Island would not be able to obtain first-hand information, so I solemnly proposed to Dean Kozmo that since Doe did not trust me, then I would independently investigate the mystery of the disappearance of Zeny and Fresen.

Kozmo tried to dissuade me, but found it in vain. I've made up my mind that nothing will help. He had no choice but to acquiesce, and in his capacity as the dean, he gave me some convenience.

In this way, I began to intervene in the mysterious event that came to be known as the "Misty Moon Murder".
