I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

The Case of Sally’s Disappearance

“That’s right.”

The story the wizard told was shocking.

During the last vacation, Sally went on vacation from the Black Mage Tower to see Veronica.

That’s how Sally, Scarlett, and Veronica saw each other after a long time.

After that, Sally went back to the Black Mage Tower.

I definitely knew that.

The wizard said that Sally, who went on vacation last time, has not yet returned to the Black Tower.

“I can’t… ”

Veronica murmurs.

Sally never said where she was going.

‘Obviously he told me he would return to the Black Horse Tower.’

Yesterday, another wizard appeared from behind the wizard who guided him.

“That one… ?”

“Nice to meet you, my name is Tom Dyke.”

Veronica took the hand he reached out and shook his hand.

At the same time, he looked up at him with puzzled eyes.

“For all the wizards dispatched to the Black Mage Tower, I am providing convenience first.”

The wizard of the Black Mage Tower that was in charge of the dispatched wizards mentioned yesterday must be this person.

Veronica asked him again just in case.

“Sally didn’t come back? Really?”

“Unfortunately, yes.”

“Then where did you go!”

“Sorry, but we don’t know.”

Tom Dyke says in an apologetic tone.

“All we know is that Miss Sally hasn’t come back since she went on vacation. Because we have no way of knowing what happened outside the tower.”

His words implied that something might have happened to Sally on her way back to the Black Tower.

Of course, it was also subtly implied that the Black Horse Tower was not responsible.

Veronica thought nothing could have happened to Sally.

In this empire, where on earth would a great human dare touch a wizard belonging to the Red Horse Tower?

Even if I didn’t know that Sally belonged to the Red Horse Tower.

No, even if I knew and touched it.

Sally wasn’t even capable of being defeated so easily.

She wasn’t a genius like Master or Veronica herself, but even so, Sally was definitely an excellent wizard.

So, I was thinking that nothing could have happened to Sally.

Nevertheless, the anxiety was only growing bigger and bigger.

When Veronica was about to say something again.

I heard something behind me.

Veronica turned her head involuntarily, and the two wizards in the black magic tower also looked towards it.

Behind her were two wizards, one face somehow familiar to Veronica.

‘I think I saw it somewhere… ‘

As Veronica thought so, another wizard spoke up.

“Excuse me… ”

The wizard from the Black Horse Tower is trying to say something to Tom Dyke and the wizard next to him.

“Hello, my name is Clancy. I came here to check on our side’s dispatched wizard under the direction of Scarlett Marche.”

The wizard, who introduced himself as Clancy, bowed his head slightly to Veronica.

“The news of Sally-sama has been cut off, so our matap master is worried. Could I possibly meet her?”

when he asks so

The two wizards belonging to the Black Magic Tower frowned slightly.

A bewildered look on anyone who sees it.

However, it was so fleeting, and no one noticed because the two immediately captured their expressions.

Anyway, Tom Dyke gave Veronica a questioning look.

“You two… ”

“Oh, I didn’t know that Veronica was coming here.”

True to the word, Clancy hadn’t even thought that Veronica would come in person.

Veronica had also heard that Master had said that she would look into it herself.

I didn’t know that the person Master sent would come today.

Veronica also nodded at Clancy’s words.

Then Tom told Clancy again what he had just said.

“… So, we don’t even know what happened.”

Clancy nodded slowly.

“It has been confirmed that Sally-sama has left the Red Horse Tower. As a result of asking the driver, it was also confirmed that he got off near the black horse tower.”

“But, as I said earlier, we did not arrive at the Black Horse Tower. Whether you got off the wagon and went somewhere, or whatever happened in town… Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing.”

It was Tom who kept saying the same thing over and over again.

Clancy asks him.

“I know that each horse tower meticulously manages dispatched wizards… If you went on vacation, surely there is no record of it?”

After that, Tom hesitates for a moment and then tells Veronica and Clancy.

“Yes, there are records of entry and exit or vacation application records.”

As he turns his gaze to the wizard next to him, the wizard who guided Veronica yesterday nodded slightly.

“Can you confirm?”

Tom asks, confirming that he is nodding his head.

“Yes, please.”

When Clancy answered that, Tom Dyke led them somewhere.

Eventually, in the room they were facing, the two were able to check two documents.

One is an access log written by Sally herself.

“I think Sally’s writing is correct.”

Veronica says.

She had been exchanging letters with Sally all the time, so it wasn’t difficult to confirm it.

“Yes, in the case of dispatch wizards, for security reasons, they are mandatory when going out. By hand, of course.”

However, the problem was the vacation application record that came out next.

It wasn’t written by Sally herself.

“This is the record that Ms. Sally verbally requested a leave of absence, and we have granted it. There is nothing strange about it, but… ”

Obviously, as Tom said, there was no problem.

However, Clancy noticed something odd in the document.

“Isn’t the exact date stated? The start date is listed, but why is there no end date?”

“It was Miss Sally’s request. We also trusted Miss Sally and gave permission, but things like this are in trouble for us too… ”

“Hmm.”

Clancy crosses her arms.

“Is this common?”

“Yes, we are trying to make the dispatch wizards as comfortable as possible.”

“Is it possible to check the vacation application records of other dispatched wizards?”

“I’m sorry, but that seems difficult.”

“Well, I see.”

Clancy decided that it would be difficult to argue further here and resigned first.

It wasn’t that there weren’t any questionable parts, but it seems that everything that can be confirmed right now has been confirmed.

“Then, if Sally-sama comes back, please let us know right away at the Magic Tower.”

“Yeah, don’t worry about that.”

—

Like that, Clancy and Veronica came out of the Black Mage Tower without much income.

Now Veronica was almost crying.

“Why is Veronica-sama here?”

Clancy asks.

“Well, I’m worried about Sally. Master sent that one?”

“Yes that’s right. Please lower your voice, Veronica.”

After all, it was Veronica who would become the mage lord in the future.

Anyway, he asks Veronica.

“Veronica-sama will now return to the academy.”

“Yeah, it should be… ”

“First of all, I plan to explore the surrounding area. Some of you may have seen Sally-sama after she got off the carriage.”

“Please!”

Veronica said sincerely.

—

“This is a problem.”

A dark room inside the black horse tower.

Although there was not a place that was not gloomy in the black horse tower, nevertheless, this room was quite luxurious.

Anyway, inside, two men were having a conversation.

“The disciple of Matthew is coming directly. Why is it only to a dispatched wizard?”

dispatch wizard.

The wizards who send dispatches to other horse towers are important to each tower’s pride, so they did not send idiots.

And, of course, Sally was also a very talented wizard.

However, while he was dispatched to another horse tower, his training was restricted.

At the same time, they are bound to lose the chance to win a place in the political battles that take place in their respective original towers.

In other words, it is moving away from the power of the mato.

What the dispatched wizards look forward to the most is to learn the magic knowledge of Tama Tower.

While each horse tower receives various help from the dispatched wizard, they are stingy in showing their magical knowledge.

Therefore, those with quite a bit of skill go there.

Those who held a really important position in the Mage Tower did not go to the position of a dispatched magician.

That’s why, I thought it wouldn’t be a big problem even if the person named Sally disappeared.

Of course, touching a wizard belonging to the Red Mage Tower was a huge problem.

But that’s a story when you get caught.

To say that it wasn’t a big problem here meant that the black mage tower could cover it enough.

However, unexpectedly, the successor of the Red Mage Tower came directly.

Sally, the dispatched wizard from the Red Mage Tower.

The wizards of the Black Magic Tower did not know that she was like the family of Veronica, a disciple of the Red Magic Tower.

At the same time, although the master was against Sally’s coming here.

I didn’t even know that Sally had volunteered and made a strong request because of her curiosity about magic.

Contrary to the expectations of some wizards in the Black Tower, Sally was more important than expected in the Red Tower.

Well, even if you knew it, Sally was important to the Black Horse Tower.

So, although the black horse tower had no choice but to touch Sally.
