Once lunch was done, it was time for their afternoon lessons, and the students gathered in the alchemy classroom with their textbooks on their workbenches. A majority of them, however, shared the same concern.

“…Instructor Darius isn’t coming today, either, is he?” Guy whispered under his breath, and everyone grew visibly uncomfortable. Indeed, the alchemy instructor, Darius Grenville, had simply vanished.

“You think what they say is true? That he went missing in the labyrinth?” said Guy.

“It’s hard to say. A student would be one thing, but it’s difficult to imagine that happening to a faculty member. Oliver, what do you think?” Chela innocently inquired.

Oliver responded without letting his true feelings rise to the surface. “I hear that only instructors maintain the lowest depths of the labyrinth. If an accident did occur, even they could be taken unawares. It’s just one possibility, however.”

He did his best to give his usual, flat response so as not to arouse suspicion. Fortunately, no one suspected anything.

At this point, Pete joined in on the conversation. “I’ve heard a lot of other phony-sounding rumors, too. Like there’s infighting among the faculty, or that he was killed by a mage with a grudge against Kimberly.”

“Pete, don’t talk such nonsense,” Chela scolded. Kimberly was a breeding ground for endless numbers of such rumors, but carelessly digging into them was a surefire way to shorten one’s life span.

“Hmm, I wonder what really happened.”

A voice suddenly came from above them. The students looked up in surprise to find a man standing upside down on the ceiling. Golden curls were draped either side of his head, just like Chela’s.

“Father?!”

“Uncle!”

Two voices shouted in unison. One was Chela, while the other was Stacy Cornwallis on the other side of the room. The man did a half flip and landed on the ground, then instantly gave the girl in front of him a tight embrace.

“Yes, it’s your daddy! How long has it been, Chela? You’ve gotten so much prettier in the short time I’ve been away.”

Chela accepted the man’s overbearing embrace—but only for five seconds. “This is not the time or place! Where on earth have you been?!”

“Oh, all over. I know I’ve been busy. I’m sorry for making you feel lonely.”

“There’s someone else you ought to apologize to first!”

Chela admonished him, indicating her friend, Nanao, by her side. Readjusting his clothes, the man turned to her.

“Yes, of course. It’s been six months since I last saw you. Are you having fun, Nanao?”

“I am. I’m glad to see you are healthy as well, Lord McFarlane.”

She smiled and chatted pleasantly with the man.

At that moment, Oliver and the others recalled the story she’d told them of how she’d come to their academy from the faraway land of Azia. Of the mage who had discovered her on that Yamatsu battlefield.

“I can’t believe you, dragging her halfway across the world, teaching her the language, and then abandoning her! Do you have any idea how much she’s suffered since school started?”

“I was slightly concerned about that, but I knew you were in her class.
