Through the shattered skylight, I heard someone click their tongue.

“I missed? How tiresome. But I see the Saint and Alicia fixate on you for a reason.”

The newcomer wore a white witch hat and sorcerer’s robes. His hands gripped an ominous staff. Jet-black wings sprouted from his diminutive back.

“You,” Caren groaned.

“Black Blossom,” Lily muttered as both of their mana intensified.

This apparent demisprite youth was the second-ranked apostle, Io Lockfield. He must have deliberately forborne teleportation and used wards of concealment to get the drop on us.

I glanced at Carlyle and found him deathly pale. The marchese hadn’t betrayed us.

Io glared down at us and snorted when he saw Caren and Lily. “Our reunion came sooner than I expected, but killing you can wait.”

“Caren, Lily, forward!” I shouted. “Tina, you know what to do!”

“Yes, sir!” the young noblewoman answered.

“Right!” Caren and Lily responded in unison. Several spell-soldiers emerged, weaving through the black flowers that had sprung up in the garden, but the pair closed in on them without a moment’s delay.

Caren roared as she reshaped her lightning spear’s cruciform head.

“Not on my watch!” Lily shouted, doing likewise with the flames that wreathed her greatsword. Each of their now-massive blades scythed through a spell-soldier’s torso, scattering great bolts of electricity and dancing fire flowers.

They’ve already recreated the techniques I showed them!

Keeping my astonishment to myself, I cast Heavenly Wind Bound and launched myself above Io, then conjured a blade of ice on my rod and swung it down. Metal clanged against metal. A girl in a crimson-trimmed white robe had appeared to stop my blow with her single-edged dagger.

Edith! She must have used a teleportation talisman!

I crossed blades with her in midair before landing.

“Take this!” Tina shouted as icy blossoms overran the battlefield. A staggering quantity of mana coalesced, then exploded within her barrier, whipping the air into a blinding indoor snowstorm.

Imperial Ice Blizzard is an advanced spell, and she quadruple-cast it! With a contained activation, no less!

I raised a defensive wall of fire flowers with a wave of my right hand, marveling all the while. My sister and student never failed to impress.

“Magnificent!” I exclaimed when they rejoined me.

“Well, I do have the world’s greatest tutor!” Tina quipped.

“Please, keep the praise coming!” added Caren.

The number of fire flowers shielding us doubled. “We haven’t won yet, Allen!” Lily yelled, still swinging her greatsword.

I quickly scanned our surroundings. Where was Niccolò? Tuna was guarding him, as were Niche, who had drawn his wand to weave defensive magic, and Paolo, who had rushed in from the corridor.

Carlyle stood by the bed, sword in hand. He seemed determined to stand his ground there at any cost. Fossi also had his hand on the hilt of his longsword. But in the midst of all this, why hadn’t he drawn it?

“It’s going to burst! Be careful!” Tina shouted before I could resolve my doubts. Her barrier shattered, and the blizzard raged more fiercely than ever. Lily and I were busy staving it off with more fire flowers when Io’s icy voice reached our ears.
