"Captain, is that the Light Magic?"
"... Yes."
"But she's not from the Holy Order, is she...? And her power is almost on par with saints and holy maidens..."
"I heard that among the peculiar students who enrolled this year, there is a freshman who directly wields angelic power."
"Wow. Seriously, wow."
The light gradually trembled around Edna, forming seven pillars. Eventually, golden chains wrapped around Haewonryang's body, and the pillars of light pierced through him.
"Kuh...!"
Then, dark magic began to burst out in all directions. The dark magic that tainted his essence was all escaping outward.
The completely tainted dark magic returned to its purified state, transforming into blue mana, and his grotesquely deford body returned to its human form.
The purification process didn't take long. In a short mont, Haewonryang returned to his human form.
"Kuk...!"
Due to forcefully using magic one level higher than her own, Edna, who had sustained injuries, vomited blood and slumped to the ground, but there was no ti for them to pay attention to her.
It was because Kaen imdiately occupied Haewonryang's body.
"... Let's check."
As Haewonryang gradually opened his eyes, Grace aid her staff at his forehead.
"Who are you?"
"... Haewonryang."
"How do you feel right now?"
"... Not bad."
"Is there anyone you want to kill?"
"... None."
"What do you hate?"
Cir...
"... Losing."
At first listen, it might seem like a weird interrogation, but it was Grace's specialty. Extracting concise answers from the subconscious target. She couldn't uncover deeply buried important information, but at least she could grasp his current state.
"Then, what do you like?"
"Tell ."
"Hmm, you really don't want to say this, huh? Well, can't be helped~"
"What's the result?"
"He's completely normal. He underwent black demonization. It's hard to believe, but he's just an ordinary human. He has almost no negative emotions. No, it's more like he never had those emotions to begin with... It felt like emotions were forcibly injected into him. The host seems to be quite powerful, huh?"
"I see."
Kaen nodded indifferently, but in reality, he was extrely surprised.
No... It wasn't just a surprise.
The current events had shaken his values to the core.
He had always believed that once a being was consud by darkness, they could never return to their original state, so he had killed them all without exception.
It was unimaginable and unbelievable that a re seventeen-year-old girl could completely restore emotions. He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
However, the reality before his eyes forced him to acknowledge the truth.
"Leader, what should we do?"
"... We're going back."
"Okay~"
Seeing that Kaen was in a bad mood, Grace didn't play any pranks. She also acted cautiously, considering the situation.
However, she couldn't help but burst into laughter because the situation was too amusing.
'Our leader seems quite flustered~'
What should they do now? They had believed in their faith like saints and had acted their whole lives based on it, but it was being invalidated by a re seventeen boys and girls.
"Get rid of the traces."
After saying that, Kaen turned around as if there was nothing more to see.
"Well then, little friends~ See you next ti!"
That way, the Commander and Deputy Commander of the 13th Shadowblade Division completely disappeared, and Baek Yu-Seol sat down in that spot, gripping his trembling legs.
'Wow... I thought I was going to die... Just his gaze alone could kill a person.'
He t Kaen face to face, even dared to confront him, and yet he survived.
But for so reason, he felt uneasy that he had co into contact with the most dangerous individuals. It didn't leave a good taste in his mouth.
... Was there nothing left but to die?
He lay down, thinking calmly. He didn't want to move a single step right now.

... After all the incidents had co to an end.
Florin, who successfully concluded the Heavenly Spirit Tree's Ascension Day, returned to her castle and imdiately headed straight to the Sky Flower Palace without a mont's rest.
Of course, no one could recognize her because she had completely changed her appearance.
"There isn't much ti left. I've already exposed myself to the world for almost an hour. If I'm not careful, there might be victims affected by my curse, so I need to quickly handle the situation."
"That was undoubtedly dark magic. It was such a secretive dark magic that even veteran magic warriors wouldn't notice. However, for so reason, that dark magic completely disappeared midway. There was a possibility that soone had eradicated it, but I didn't want to leave such a risk factor."
Finally, Florin arrived at the vacant lot where the dark magic had been detected and closed her eyes while extending her palm.
"Wind, bring the mories."
Then, the scent of mories wafted around her nose and quickly flowed into her mind.
"This is..."
She couldn't see anything.
mories of wind filled with black and white. Soone had intentionally erased mories using magic.
mories that had already been erased couldn't be resurrected even with high-level magic. However, Florin was the greatest master of them all. She wouldn't succumb to such petty magic.
"Whisper a little more details to ."
The ground, the wind, the flowers and leaves, the trees and rocks... Everything whispered to Florin about the situation at this scene.
Even though the ones who erased mories were thorough to the point of struggling to leave any trace, she could still see fragnts of the situation.
"... Soone was using purification magic on a person presud to be a dark mage, and anwhile, two mages and one mage were in a confrontation."
Their faces weren't clearly visible.
However, it seed like they were wearing Stela Academy uniforms...
"Ugh...!"
Due to forcibly squeezing out the mories of nature, a throbbing headache struck her. However, at that mont, a familiar scent brushed past Florin's nose.
"This, this is...!"
It was a scent that she couldn't forget, no matter how much she tried. It was the fragrance of her long-ti friend... Celestia.
The scent wafted heavily.
"How...?"
Celestia had fallen into eternal sleep in her own garden. She could never engage in any external activities, so how could Celestia's scent be sensed in these mories?
... No, there was another possibility.
'If the culprit stole Celestia's heart... If that person, the detestable one who stole the heart of my dearest friend, ca here...'
Undoubtedly, if that person had co, the scent of Celestia would be so strong. Florin tightened her gaze, channeling her anger, in order to delve deeper into the mories.
However, as ti passed, the mories grew fainter, and the power of nature diminished.
Even worse, a splitting headache struck as if the lid of her mind had been forcefully opened. Florin could no longer read the mories.
"Haah, ha..."
She sat down on the floor, breathing heavily, and bit her lips until they bled.
"Definitely... I will find the culprit who condemned my friend to eternal suffering. I will return everything... the sa way..."
Florin's anger grew deeper and deeper.
