    by Glyph (글비) — Screw This, I'll Do It Myself!Why had I forgotten that I could do it even without someone teaching me?Right, it was because I lacked the willpower. Having realized that I just needed to go ahead and do it, I suddenly put on a bright, attentive act."It was difficult material, you know. So I want to hear it again!""...It really wasn't that difficult a class, though?"Since I don't remember it, it must have been difficult! Either that, or I dozed off a little."Still, I…

    by Glyph (글비) — High up on the cliff, the slope was steep, and the rocks large and small littering the incline made it difficult to walk.The reason I was climbing down such a dangerous place was that the summoning circle for a High-rank Spirit I had ordered Lai to make lay right down below.I had been looking for somewhere not far from the Academy with abundant water where other people could not easily go, and this spot had been ideal.Many people came and went at the front of Lake Varesa, but the back side I was currently…

    by Glyph (글비) — Since I had already laid down a fog, no one would be able to see it."Ador!"The one I called in a whisper was the electric spirit Ador, my own secret weapon that I didn't bring out in front of people well-versed in spirits.I had used him in front of the Shabel Mercenary Group, but those people were ignorant of spirits, so they were an exception.Ador wasn't as in sync with me as Undine, which made him a bit tricky to command.I had to instruct him on every little thing.It was maddeningly…
