Ghost(2)

I felt comfortable with the warm feeling of hugging my body.

Acius put his mouth to his ear and murmured.

[—————]

It’s an unintelligible word. Maybe it’s something I haven’t reached yet. It is clear that there are verbs that only dragons can use.

As soon as I heard the voice, my eyes closed. Axius smiled and ran his hand lightly across my neck.

“It’s a feeling I feel for a while. I won’t be able to touch you for a long time.”

“Uh… .”

“Don’t hold back. Deron. You need to rest.”

There was no need to go to sleep following her words.

I closed my eyes as I listened to Acius’ sweet voice.

**

When I opened my eyes again, it was sunny outside. It was late winter, so the weather was chilly, and the trees were preparing to change their leaves.

Rubbing my eyes, I got up and looked for Acius.

As if she had lost her form, she disappeared from sight.

[I woke up at exactly the right time. Fortunately, the proverb seems to last.]

“How many hours have I slept?”

I asked Acius while he was tidying up his clothes.

[I slept for about 24 hours. Because I set it that way.]

“24 hours?”

Acius replied that it was no big deal, but 24 hours was not a time that could pass.

It was fortunate that today was a holiday without lectures, but if it was a lecture day, I almost completely missed the class.

No matter how much you don’t need to take classes, I have to say that skipping a day is a bit of a burden.

“If you at least said something, even if you check if there is a schedule… .”

[I probably didn’t rest after checking.]

As Acius cut off my words, he asserted.

[You must have moved with other reasons.]

“… … .”

[Is that right?]

nodded. As Acius said, I didn’t intend to rest for 24 hours.

After visiting the winter castle, it has become common knowledge to reduce the rest time.

If I can move my body, I move as much as I can, and close my eyes for a while.

My body has already adapted to such a way of wintering.

[This is not a winter castle, Deron.]

At Acius’ words, I quietly stood up.

Because I slept for 24 hours, my body is definitely light.

It felt like lubricating the body that had been creaking until now.

Aksius asked in a voice mixed with laughter.

[What do you think. Much better?]

“exactly… Much better.”

I had no choice but to answer her question.

My body was the freshest since I got out of the deadline.

[You must be happy. Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying. Don’t hide your feelings.]

“… … .”

[Once worn out, feelings never come back. When you are sad, you cry, and when you are angry, you must be angry.]

Akshiusi’s voice, saying that, seemed somewhat bitter.

Hearing the voice of the Black Dragon, as if it had already been lost once.

“All right.”

I nodded.

smart.

Someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

The door opened cautiously and Medea entered.

She raised her head slightly and opened her mouth.

“You woke up… yes?”

“I woke up a little while ago. So what’s going on?”

“that… A friend of mine has come.”

“friend?”

Medea nodded her head. At the same time, someone enters through the open door.

I don’t know if I can call him a close friend, but a familiar person.

“Adel?”

“Sorry for coming back after a day. Deron.”

She was a saint who changed her identity with brown hair and self-consciousness.

Adele looked me in the eye and said cautiously.

“I have something to tell you. Can you spare some time for me?”

“Ugh.”

I thought for a moment and then nodded. It wouldn’t be normal if she would come to me.

When she looked at Medea, she bowed her head once and left the room.

I made sure the door was closed and headed to my chair.

“Sit down for now.”

“yes.”

Adele’s hands were shaking. What the hell is something so serious that a saint trembles?

I can’t quite get it

“So, what’s going on?”

“… You must believe what I say from now on.”

I nodded as I watched Adele’s eyes widen with a serious expression on her face.

I don’t know why the anxiety suddenly creeps in.

“There is a ghost in the academy.”

“… What?”

I doubted my ears. I thought I might have heard it wrong, so I asked again.

“Is there a ghost in the academy?”

“… … .”

The answer was the same.

it’s a ghost what a nonsense

When I looked at him pathetic, Adele was angry as if it was unfair.

“No, did you really see it? Rumors spread even within the academy!”

“ha… .”

He patted his head with his hand. I seem to be getting annoyed all of a sudden.

it’s a ghost After a religious man like a bishop, is he a ghost that could only be seen in a horror movie?

“Yeah, let’s say there are ghosts, as you said.”

“I’m not saying there is, but it really is. They say they usually appear in front of the Ministry of Magic?”

I flinched slightly at the word of the Ministry of Magic, but continued speaking calmly.

“Okay, then, shouldn’t you just catch that ghost?”

“Am I?”

Watching Adele pointing her finger at her seems to build up annoyance.

I said, holding back what I wanted to scream.

“If there is really a ghost, it is not a state of soul after all. Then there would be no physical power?”

“According to the testimonies of the students, this ghost has physical powers. Do you mean carrying things around and hitting students?”

“… Even hitting students?”

That’s a bit of an interesting remark.

I leaned forward slightly.

The original ghost is a word that refers to a soul that is tied to the earth by an unknown means and cannot leave the underworld.

Although it is a state of the soul without a body, it cannot exercise physical power.

If you were a very talented person in your lifetime, I know that you can use a little because of the exceptionally strong power of the soul.

‘But he even hit people… .’

There is a difference between the word hit and touch. Adele clearly stated that the ghost had hit the student.

It means that the ghost has enough power to hit a person.

“What about divine power?”

“yes?”

“If it was a divine power, it would have been possible to untie the chains and make the ghost a holy Buddha, right?”

Religious people are the best at getting rid of ghosts.

It is said that if you hold the cross and use your divine power, the ghosts will often run away with a loud cry.

… Of course I’ve never actually seen it.

“Of course, I also used divine power. One of the students is a devout priest, so I used divine power on a ghost… .”

“Have you tried it?”

“He said it was of no use.”

First of all, the good news is that the book I read about ghosts with divine power was correct.

If I was wrong, I might have been a little offended.

And the unfortunate thing is… .

‘A ghost that does not work with divine power.’

I’ve never seen anything like that in a book. I’ve only seen that if the power of the soul is strong, it can use physical power.

I asked Adele if a ghost could deny the divine power.

Adele thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

“It may be because the student’s divine power is weak, but basically, the soul cannot reject the divine power.”

“then?”

“It’s a constitution that rejects divine power like you.”

There is no such body. The reason my body rejects the divine power is because of the magi that are tightly tied to it.

Adele took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

“Were you a being so powerful that you couldn’t dare to attain Buddhahood with divine power?”

“The second… That would be the most plausible hypothesis.”

“Right.”

It is a powerful being that cannot be sanctified by divine power.

There are only two things that come to mind for me right now.

Lennock and mother.

Even if the two were in a soul state, their bond with divine power would not be broken.

No, one is not a person.

Anyway.

“No one can guess.”

“yes. He was in a spirit state, but his form was opaque, so he couldn’t tell if he was a woman or a man.”

“There is no way that the shape of a soul with that much power is opaque.”

“It must have been deliberately hidden.”

It’s a ghost that wanders around the academy hiding its identity.

It was something that had never happened in the original story.

In the first semester, in the second semester of the first year, Professor Akdin is the biggest episode.

After the death of the professor, the class did not proceed properly in the aftermath, so it went on to the second year.

So of course I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal.

“What is the opinion of the students?”

“Is it what you expect?”

“I am still anxious, but I must be more anxious.”

“yes. You are correct.”

Adele nodded her head. Due to Professor Akdin’s death and the incident he caused, the atmosphere in the academy is still in a bad state.

There, even the ghosts wandering the academy appeared.

The atmosphere can never be good.

“I’ll find out soon.”

“You may not know, but be careful.”

Do you want me to be careful?

I stared at Adele’s hand and grinned.

“What should I do with that hand?”

“yes? Ah, this is… !”

“A saint is only afraid of ghosts. This is pretty interesting information.”

Adele blushed and stood up. At the same time, I hide my hands out of sight.

You’re really afraid of ghosts. That’s a little surprising.

“Anyway, I’ve told you everything I need to tell you, so I’ll go too!”

“Be careful not to meet ghosts on the way.”

“profit!”

Adele walks out boldly. I glanced at her and stood up.

[Where are you going?]

“I am going to the Ministry of Magic.”

As I answered Accius’s question, I leisurely left the room.

Ghost. I’m going to meet you now.
