The transfer device, which used a Realizer set into the lower part of Fraxinus, could instantly send and recover items as long as there were no line-of-sight obstructions. At first, it had made him feel a little unpleasant, like motion sickness, but he had more or less gotten used to it now after using it a few times.

In an instant, his field of view switched from Fraxinus to the dim rear side of the school, and he shook his head.

“Okay, first inside the school—,” he started to say and then stopped…because the wall of the academy before him had been whisked away, allowing him to peek inside.

“Seeing the actual building makes it really set in…”

“Well, this is perfect. Go in through there.” He heard Kotori’s voice through his earpiece.

“…Roger,” he muttered, scratching his cheek as he entered the school building. If he dawdled too long, the Spirit might leave, and the AST might spot him before he found her and take him into custody to “protect” him.

“Now, let’s hurry. I’ll guide you. The Spirit is three floors up, fourth classroom ahead of you.”

“Roger…!” Shido took a deep breath and then raced up the nearby stairs.

In less than a minute, he was standing in front of the classroom Kotori had specified. Given that the door wasn’t open, he couldn’t see what was going on inside, but his heart pounded when he thought about the fact that a Spirit was in there.

“Wait.” He frowned. “This is Year Two, Class Four. It’s my classroom.”

“Oh my! Is it?” Kotori said. “Perfect. I won’t go so far as to say it’s an advantageous position, but it’s better than some place you don’t know at all.”

He didn’t actually know the classroom all that well, given that he’d only recently advanced to his second year of high school. At any rate, he had to make contact before the Spirit played any tricks. He swallowed hard.

“Hey, hello, what’re you doing in a place like this?” He repeated what he was going to say first several times in a quiet voice before taking a deep breath and opening the door.

“—”

The classroom was red in the evening sun.

“Ah,” he gasped, the flimsy words he’d prepared in his mind completely blown away.

A girl with black hair in a bizarre dress was sitting with one knee up on the desk fourth from the front, second row from the window—Shido’s desk. A fantastical radiance shone in her eyes, which were languidly half-open as she stared blankly at the blackboard, upper body illuminated by the evening sun. She was so divine as to instantly rob any viewer of the power of thought.

This near-perfect scene quickly crumbled.

“Hmm?” The girl noticed Shido’s entry and opened her eyes wide.

“…H-hey—” He raised a hand as he tried to calm himself down somehow.

Fyoom!

He thought the girl was casually waving at him when a black beam of light scraped his cheek and flew past him. A second later, the door where his hand was resting and the windows in the hall behind it shattered with a tremendous roar.
