I calmly appeared on the paperwork and firmly composed myself regardless of my shock. I had by no means seen a magical system like this earlier than. All I knew about magical formulation was…

Quantity 6 is a very powerful half.

“So, it is a difficult magical system…”

I appeared on the magicians gathered past the convention room.

Their expressions appeared fairly smug.

“How about taking it on to the Mausoleum and fixing it there?”

“Yeah, it will be attention-grabbing, proper? A problem for a first-circle magician!”

“In the event you embarrass your self, we’ll report it as a magical artifact video.”

Simply after I was planning to go to the Mausoleum anyway…!

“Coincidentally, luck is on my aspect!”

I held the paperwork tightly as in the event that they had been profitable lottery tickets.

Awakening Phantasm.

And even the “Interpretation Methodology for Magical Formulation” that rolled in by likelihood!

I can save Duke Saboia!

Develop into a benefactor of life and obtain massive success!

I stood up, appeared round, and declared confidently.

“Sure, I’ll go!”

To the Mausoleum. No, to grow to be my golden ticket…

“Jail!”

“What? Hey! I didn’t say go to jail—”

“Goodbye! I’m going to jail!”

* * *

I shortly approached the “Mausoleum Secretary’s Workplace.”

Helic, with one eye lined, was closing the door.

“Excuse me!”

“Oh, my goodness. You scared me!”

Earlier than the door closed, I grabbed the magician’s hand tightly.

“…Sure? I, I’ve a girlfriend!”

“I didn’t imply that. I’m a married girl.”

“R-Actually? Really, I don’t have a girlfriend.”

What’s the massive deal? I’m not .

Anyway, I made a decision to shortly get to the purpose.

“I see. I perceive. Really, I feel I noticed an awakening phantasm.”

Helic nodded as if stunned.

“Oh, an awakening phantasm? Congratulations. Come inside and have a seat… Simply in case somebody sees us.”

I don’t know what he’s afraid of.

Anyway, Helic led me into the workplace and served me orange juice.

I sat throughout from him at a desk and shortly drank the orange juice.

“By the best way, I ought to advise you to not keep close to the Mausoleum.”

“Huh?”

“Properly, you see…”

He trailed off.

Feeling annoyed, I spoke first.

“Properly, truly… I’ve one thing to present you. To place it merely, there’s one thing I wish to embroider.”

“Huh? Embroidery? Abruptly?”

Helic appeared perplexed, and I confidently spoke whereas clenching my fist.

“Sure, it’s true. I’ve dedicated against the law worthy of imprisonment!”

Helic, who was consuming orange juice, spewed the liquid out of his mouth.

“…Excuse me?”

“Properly, you see, I stole a cleansing brush as a result of I actually needed to see the awakening phantasm.”

There’s a superstition that stealing an merchandise from the Mausoleum lets you awaken. Nonetheless…

“What…did you steal?”

“It’s a glowing copper cleansing brush that shines like gold, used to wash the dear restroom within the Mausoleum.”

“Um, have you ever caught a fever?”

“I’m completely fantastic.”

Helic muttered to himself just a few instances earlier than saying,

“Properly, I’ll…take the report. What circle are you?”

“I’m a first-circle magician.”

“A primary-circle magician looking for second-circle awakening…Hmm, effectively, place your hand right here.”

I positioned my hand on the glass field he offered.

Beep, beep!

Helic examined the glass field for some time, then sighed with remorse.

“Oh, expensive. So, you’re nonetheless a first-circle.”

“It wasn’t an awakening phantasm? Then what did I see?”

May it’s that I simply noticed an phantasm as a part of a particular summer season episode…?

A shiver ran down my backbone.

Feeling considerably deflated, Helic tried to console me.

“Some magicians who yearn to see the awakening phantasm typically expertise hallucinations.”

However that wasn’t the sensation I had…

I scratched my head and checked out Helic once more.

He kindly mentioned,

“Properly, then, please go. There’s no case of somebody being imprisoned for stealing a cleansing brush. Apart from, I’m afraid to consider what would possibly occur in the event you had been to be imprisoned. That jealous particular person…”

I didn’t take heed to what he mentioned after “please go.” I already had my plan in thoughts and was making ready for the dialog.

I prolonged a doc from my pocket in the direction of him and spoke once more.

“Do you acknowledge this? It’s the magical system doc requested by the Mausoleum.”

“Sure? I do know. I made the request.”

“Properly, the factor is, I obtained the doc for switch. But it surely’s too troublesome for me…”

“Ah, I see. What did you obtain?”

He glanced on the doc for a second and made a sound.

“Oh, this.”

“Apparently, there’s a magician who is aware of slightly bit about magical formulation imprisoned within the Mausoleum.”

His expression turned bitter.

“Though I’ve no connection to magical formulation… Sigh. If I can’t clear up this magical system, will I be fired?”

…However that’s not true. I’m as clueless as they arrive.

Nonetheless, with out revealing that reality, I pretended to be distressed and shed pretend tears.

“Perhaps! Perhaps, that might occur!”

With out realizing it, Helic started to agonize, wiping his dry face.

Good, he’s beginning to come round.

With feigned sniffles, I muttered,

“Properly, you see, it’s so troublesome… I even confirmed the magical system to a different administrator named Henry. But it surely turned out to be a confidential doc.”

It was a lie.

“Unauthorized elimination of confidential paperwork can lead to a one-day imprisonment within the Mausoleum…”

I struggled to cover my brightened face and folded my palms in entrance of my chest.

“As anticipated! My conscience is pricking me, so I’ll pay the value. Please imprison me!”

* * *

I used to be lastly locked up in jail, simply as I wanted!

A spot full of ruthless moss and criminals confined in varied areas.

“It feels chilly right here as a result of it’s a jail.”

“You’re in such a cramped area you can’t even lie down. Why do you look so pleased…”

Properly, that’s as a result of my life-changing drama will unfold on this Mausoleum jail.

“Is it as a result of I can lastly pay for my sins?”

Helic let loose one other deep sigh and mumbled.

“Properly, I’ll preserve you imprisoned for simply sooner or later, so go forward and determine it out by yourself…”

“Sure. By any likelihood, will I’ve a prison report?”

“Oh, don’t say scary issues. That is only a place to restrict loopy magicians.”

“Properly, that’s true.”

“Sure, that’s proper. Uh, by the best way, it will be an enormous downside if Sir Dylan finds out…”

Are you aware Dylan?

I don’t suppose Dylan Kyung could be that involved if I disappeared for a day.

We’re simply unusual housemates.

I placed on a well-crafted social masks and smiled mischievously.

“Properly, go forward now. I’m going to take pleasure in my life as a prisoner.”

After Helic, who checked out me with a pitiful gaze, left.

I used to be alone and appeared round whereas whistling.

The magicians on the alternative aspect, inside attain of my hand, began whispering to one another.

“What a silly first-circle magician.”

“I heard earlier that he couldn’t even clear up the magical system. How pathetic.”

It looks like the beginner hazing that’s generally present in jail cells has begun.

I took a second to check my luck.

“You have to be exceptional people, huh?”

“Hah! I obtained caught as a result of I put in a sacrificial bomb within the underground of the Mausoleum!”

“I used brainwashing methods on unusual individuals!”

“I offered aphrodisiacs within the identify of the Mausoleum… Ha, however it’s a bit unfair.”

I tilted my head to the aspect.

“Oh, so that you’re all correct ‘con artists’?”

They laughed out loud.

“Yeah, we’re con artists. You’re only a pathetic con artist who will undergo till the thorns pierce you.”

“Are you aware about mana circuits?”

“Perhaps?”

“What about magical formulation?”

“Do you actually know? Simply take a look at your power. It’s clearly a first-circle!”

They had been fully disregarding me.

“I’m a first-circle, certainly.”

“First-circle? It’s shameful to breathe the identical air because the jail! Ha! I’m even a sixth-circle!”

Whether or not they criticized me or not, I stared intently on the holographic system within the air.

As anticipated, it wasn’t being recorded as if it was utilized by a terrorist group.

In that case, let’s say it.

“Hey, you con artists.”

“Why? What’s it?”

“Do you wish to make a enjoyable wager with me?”

“What sort of wager?”

Properly, my fellow scamming magician buddies?

“Would you prefer to strive a bunch jailbreak?”

Let the sport begins now.
