Chapter 65: The restricted section

Nito, are you really the hero Nito.

Hm?

I was in the library like usual, looking through books I couldnt read, waiting for Patrick. Whe. Patrick suddenly burst in looking as though he was having trouble calming down.

It all started when the principal got angry at us, since then weve gotten to know each other well. We started hanging out in the library and training grounds after class.

I asked if you were the hero Nito.

Oh yeah, Ive been called that.

What do you mean youve been called that, look at this.

Patrick showed me a magazine, it looked like this worlds version of a newspaper.

Look, here.

It seemed like this magazine was enchanted to that people of different races could read it.

Oooh what is it? ..the attack on Razhousen, the empires true intent. ..what?

Not there, here.

Uhm adventurer Yogi said that if it wasnt for Nito we would have been finished. Thank you my friend forever. We arent friends though.

It seems like the hero Nito is a healer.

Well I didnt hide it?

Thats something to hide!

Why?

Patrick told me that the world was now in an uproar trying to find me. As proof of that he showed me the bottom of the article which said Looking for information about the adventurer Nito.

Thats annoying.

They probably already have information on you.

How?

Because you announced yourself when you came here. Every student at this school knows you are here.

Oh yeah, Ive been called out in an announcement several times too..

That too, theres probably a reporter on their way here now.

That would be annoying.

If it comes to that youll have to trickle them.

Trick them?

Youll have to wear a mask. Luckily your face hasnt appeared in the paper yet. A shop in Qatar the town nearby should sell masks. We should go buy one soon.

That seems a little to easy.

The rest is up to you, do you have any magic that can help you hide?

No.

I regret not choosing mimicry when I was in the dungeon.

It cant be helped then.

More importantly is it possible to do it tonight?

Not a problem, it looks like the principal is out on a business trip as well.

So we have a chance.

Yeah, thats why we have to do this tonight.

Id told Patrick about what I saw of the future. We derived that the magic must be Resuscitation Magic. Patrick thought that the future was probably talking about that kind of magic.

Books related to death arent publicly available at this school. If they have them theyll be in the restricted section. [T/N: OK ok he said restricted room, but come on, H.P. is life.]

Were supposed to break into the restricted section tonight.

The problem is the ward. But Ill take care of it.

When he said that Patrick took out a brown wand.

Whats that?

Its a yodel wand, itll break the ward guarding the restricted section.

Why do you have something like that?

Because I decided to go in.

Why?

Theres something I want in there as well.

I see.

I couldnt get in before because there are a lot of sensing wards. inside the room.

Wait, is it possible for me to go?

Probably, if its you they probably wont be able to sense your magic.

Was that your plan this whole time?

Its a coincidence, Nito just happened to want to get in as well so its convenient.

Really? I dont care but..

Be prepared, if you get caught youll definitely be kicked out.

Im ready, if theres a chance to save Toa Ill do it. Ill go in your place as well, what is it you wanted?

.a book about the fire spirit.

Got it, Ill go get it for you.

Its not going to be easy.

What do you mean? Sounds easy enough.

Nito, you cant read.

Oh..

Jeez, take this.

Patrick handed me two sheets of paper.

This is a list of words about Resuscitation, and this one is about the fire spirit. Just grab as much as you can of anything that looks remotely similar.

Alright, thisll be easy.

Hey.

All I have to do is go in and get it right? Besides I have the storage space, in good at bringing around lots of things.

Haaa.. its just hard to stay calm. The interschool battle is coming soon.

The what?

Didnt you listen? The teacher told us about it.

I had no idea but, it seemed like it was a joint battle between three schools.

Theres no Greyberg this year, the only opponent is Fisher Natica. There wont be as many opponents so its a chance for me. I want to be chosen as one of the three school representatives.

So thats why youre looking for power?

Yeah.

Im a little excited.

*

From behind a pillar I saw Patricks signal, two quick flashes,, and I quickly joined him at the door.

The both of us snuck out of our rooms at midnight and are about to break into the restricted section. The room was facing a small courtyard.

Ill keep watch outside while you go in, but be careful. We can sense magic power but so can everyone else.

Theres a problem, there are passages to the left and right and nowhere to hide. If a patrol came by we would be caught.

Well if they do sense it, it would be your magic power.

Leaving your room at night is forbidden.

There wont be a patrol for another hour.

You sure know a lot.

I gathered the information in preparation for today. You might be better at sensing the magical power than I am. If you sense anything just grab me and run.

Id already shown Patrick my God Speedskill. He was constantly vigilant keeping an eye out to left and right, apparently there were some monsters that didnt have magic power and he was worried they might be used to guard this room.

Ok, first Im going to use the wand to interfere with the ward.

And then?

And then you open the door with telekinesis. After that find where the books are and look for as many books as you can according to the memo I gave you. And..

Dont touch anything if I can help it right?

Yeah, well be finished if we leave any trace behind.

Got it.

Patrick lightly tapped his wand against the door.

Now.

I opened the door with telekinesis.

Be careful.

You too.

I stepped into the room.
