When one is surrounded by warmth, it is often difficult to realize how precious this moment is.
It wasn't until they finally started to miss the past that they suddenly realized that that time was the so-called "happy time".
However, Tasia really felt the warmth that she coveted at the moment.
Although, when I think about the fact that my teacher, who seems to have a very cold personality on the surface, secretly collects many dolls, I can't help but feel a little strange. But now she was sitting on the bed hugging this little brown bear that looked like a new one, and she felt that even the moonless night had become warmer.
Unexpectedly, the teacher is also a humorous and childlike person... completely different from the serious and rigid person I imagined.
The bear's top hat, mask and bow tie were all taken off and placed on the table nearby, and the soft and smooth touch of the doll became increasingly relaxing.
Touching its lovely chubby body, Tasia couldn't put it down.
"Since the teacher gave you to me, let me give you a name." She whispered to herself, "Well~ let's call you Benben."
"Bengben will be my little bear from now on~ You must sleep with me obediently at night~"
As she spoke, she smiled contentedly, spread out the quilt beside the bed and prepared to fall asleep.
Can I have another good dream tonight?
However, when her hand just touched the pillow, Tasia's movements suddenly stopped.
As if she noticed something unusual, she turned back with the doll bear in hand.
Everything in the room was as usual.
...Are you overthinking it?
She looked at the surrounding furnishings for a while, but didn't see anything wrong, so she slowly turned around and prepared to go back to sleep.
But the moment she turned around, a huge claw filled with dark mist suddenly jumped up silently from behind and headed straight for Tasia!
——Obviously he is such an important person, but he doesn’t even know how to maintain the most basic vigilance. His death will be in vain.
The insect dormant in the shadow could hardly hold back the smile on his lips.
But before the smile bloomed on his face, Tasia stood on the edge of the bed with one foot and jumped up at an extremely fast speed, and a bright light that stung his eyes suddenly collided with him unexpectedly.
Once the two opposing magical powers collide, it's like pouring cold water into boiling oil, and suddenly the air around him seems to boil.
With a huge explosion, the light pushed the darkness out of the completely shattered window.
Slowly landing on the street in front of the bakery, Tasia looked calm.
"Dulcy, if you wake up now and surrender to the city guard, you may be able to save the lives of your family."
Reunited with an old friend after a long separation, there was no wave in her voice.
"Haha, family?"
Darcy's tone was cold. "What does the life and death of those people have to do with me?"
The plot she had carefully prepared had been discovered by her long ago, and she had even successfully reversed the unfavorable situation, which made Darcy feel very bad.
He stared coldly at the junior in front of him whom he once admired.
"I heard that you have become the new president of the student union? Not bad, you are living a comfortable life." Jealousy and hatred were tumbling in his heart.
Tasia knew there would be a tough fight ahead, but it wasn't her own safety that worried her.
...This is a residential area.
Under the fighting of powerful magicians, those unarmed civilians had no power to protect themselves... What's more, their mother was also at home.
We can only hope that the city guards will discover the abnormality early and come to the rescue in time.
She didn't dare to look back in the direction of her home, for fear that her enemy would see through her greatest weakness.
"What? Are you waiting for the city guard?" Darcy suddenly said.
"It's a pity that they won't notice anything for a while."
Tasia was startled, and then her expression suddenly changed.
Centered around his home, a giant net wrapped in the magic power of darkness had spread out in the air at some point.
All the escaped magic power and movement were swallowed up by this giant web.
Without visiting this place in person, even a magician specially patrolling at night would not be able to detect any abnormalities.
Her heart sank, this kind of powerful magic would never be possible with Darcy's magic power alone.
"Hahahahaha——" Seeing Tasia's expression turned ugly, Darcy seemed to be extremely satisfied.
"See! This is the magic of darkness!"
"You despicable and shameless people both covet it and fear it...but under its rule, those who can only use inferior magic are just insignificant ants." Darcy's eyes were full of madness.
"As long as we get rid of you, the future of Dark Magic will never encounter any obstacles again——"
"And I will truly take back everything that was taken away from me!"
He laughed wildly and blasted out all his magic power again.
At the same time, at the other end of the royal capital of Lornes.
After a tiring day, Wayne had already fallen into a half-asleep state.
Suddenly, a warning spell that had been set in advance sent a warning of extreme danger, frightening him to jump out of his warm bed.
what's the situation? !
After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly woke up and immediately rushed to the direction where the warning came from as fast as he could in his life.
At this moment, he was very angry.
…
Facing the increasingly fierce offensive, Tasia was having a hard time dealing with it.
Although his own progress has been very fast, the speed at which his opponent Darcy's magic is getting stronger is also changing with each passing day.
If they let their hands and feet fight, the outcome of the two sides would be only close to each other, but Tasia did not dare to take a step back because she was concerned that her home behind her would be affected.
Probably seeing her concerns, Darcy's magic skills instantly became more mysterious and unpredictable, and her moves were aimed at Tasia's weak points that were difficult to defend. Tasia suddenly fell into a dilemma that she was tired of dealing with. status.
She bit her lower lip tightly, feeling filled with reluctance.
These troubles are all caused by yourself.
...If I had worked harder and been more careful, wouldn't I have put my family in such a crisis?
Admiring Tasia's expression, Darcy became more and more excited.
This is a crucial hunt, and he will use the most delicious prey to prove his worth.
Finally, after blocking another vicious spell that stabbed behind her, Tasia could no longer care about defending herself. The dark claws were about to pierce her——
Tasia closed her eyes tightly.
However, nothing happened.
There was no pain, no sound of rupturing body organs.
Tasia slowly opened her eyes, and then she realized that a transparent barrier was surrounding her.
At some point, an inconspicuous bear doll floated in front of her with its hands stretched out, as if it wanted to protect her.
