[Alice POV][Just after Alice casted Shade]I look around the darkened garden to see the reas of everyone here. Teacher is extremely surprised and seems to be muttering something. I ’t hear him though. Brian got up from the table he was sitting at and he quickly opened and closed his mouth. Did I surprise even an angel? Jenna is standio the table Brian was sitting at with no noticeable rea. No, she might be a bit scared. I’m not sure. I’ve never seen Jenna scared before.

  Brian is slowly making his way over here. He isn’t walking with his usual fide doesn’t really matter to me. I go up to him and give him a big hug. Who cares if teacher sees us doing this. Jenna already saw this m.

  “Alice, do you hear me? You o dispel this darkness.” Brian said to me. But why? It’s just shady. You still clearly see.

  “But why?” I ask him. “It’s just a little dark and it’s my first successful spell. I want to enjoy it longer.”

  “Alio one else see anything. And this darkness is eveing sound from traveling long distances. You o dispel it or everyone will panic even more.” He told me. What do you mean ’t see anything? But I clearly see around. And I hear him just fine. He was also capable of walking up to me.

  “But… you could see me.” I said carefully.

  “I ’t see you Alice.” Brian said to me. But then how. “Laura helped me through the darkness. Please, dispel it.”

  So he did it thanks to being an angel. I guess I have no choibsp;

  “Fine. If you really ask me like that.” I said to him a go of the spell. It took a little while for the shade to disappear, but that might be because it is my first spell. I o practice trol better.

  After I let Brian out of my hug, he made his way over to teacher. I didn’t notice, but for some reason teacher is on the ground. Did he pass out from the excitement? It seems Brian was cheg up on him and now is just holding his hand on teacher’s stomach.

  “Brian, what are you doing?” I asked him.

  He expihat teacher had run out of mana trying to dispel my shade. But teacher is a great mage. He shouldn’t run out of mana like that. When I asked Brian about it, he said it’s because water is bad at dispelling dark spells. It seems like Brian is now sharing his mana with teacher. Does that mean Brian has the water attribute? Teacher told me that you only share mana with those who have the same attribute as you.

  After sharing mana with teacher, Brian said we o call father. I really don’t want to. But Brian insisted due to my spell's effect. Was it really that bad? Well, Jenna did seem frozen, so… But, it was my first spell. It couldn’t have been so powerful.

  Brian started questioning me, asking how I was feeling. How should I ahat? I feel great. I casted a spell successfully. But If I really frightened everyone I would feel bad. I don’t mind giving father a scare, but everyone else is different.

  I asked Brian if it was even possible for me to cast such a powerful spell and he said I used too many skills at once. I do have Magic Boost and I was using it, but could that really be enough?

  And now father is here. Please go away. I ’t deal with yht now. He came onto me with his usual super scary aura, demanding to know if I casted a spell. As I answered he began hounding Brian about it. Please five him for jumping onto you. And please keep his attention on you.

  But that didn’t st. Father began demanding that I cast a spell again. Yelling at me. Please just stop. I just ’t. Not now. Someone help me!

  And someone did. Bria between my father and me, and began holding father back. Brian was insulting father for all of his obsessiohe prophecy. Well, he is n, but what lord wouldn’t try to protect their town.

  As their argument was getting even more heated, I noticed that Brian pulled out a card. Is he pnning on fighting father? But it seems Brian was arguing about the blond haired magi part of the prophecy. Why would he focus on that?

  “I summon Dark Magi Girl.” Brian said as he performed his summon. I’ve only seen him do it once before, but it really is impressive. The amount of mana surging feels surreal. And the mana this time feels better than it did with that metal golem.

  Out of the card, desded a blond haired girl in a blue and pink robe. Did he summon a magi? That shouldn’t be possible. I know he told me in the carriage that he summon humanoid monsters, but this. Even the legendary inal summoner couldn’t summon humans. But I guess for an angel, anything is possible. He did talk about these monsters going up against Gods. But what Gods would you fight? I might o ask him.

  Father seemed to have gone mad after seeing Brian’s new summon. I ’t bme him, it is… well, I don’t know what it is.

  “Hello there.” The summoned monster greeted me? They do that? I didn’t know they could speak.

  “He.. hello.” I said back weakly. Her mana is much strohan my own. She must be a great magi.

  “You don’t o be so nervous Alice. I won’t hurt you.” She said. But how does she know my name?

  “How… how do you know my name?” I asked.

  “Lady Laura told me when I was summoned.” She said.

  Lady Laura? Wasn’t Laura the name Brian gave his system support? system support do something like that? Father did say something about Brian’s unique skill, being a part of the system. It does remind me of the status menu.

  “I see.” I said back.

  “I heard Master gave you the dark attribute. Would you like me to teach you some dark magic?” She asked me. Her? Teag me? But she is s. There is no way someone like her would ever teach me.

  “But… I… Would you really? Teach me?” I asked. My wet caught in my throat. The only reason teacher Trystan agreed to teach me is money. What could I give her iurn for the teag?

  “Of course I will. As long as Master says it’s fine. And I’m sure we make him give in.” She said in a teasing way.

  So, she really will teach me. I’ll have an amazing teacher nht. Not that Trystan was a bad teacher. But I’m not sure he could really teach me dark magic spells.

  “Dark Magi Girl! Stop HIM!” I heard Brian yell out. I look behind Brian’s summon and see father charging at us.

  “What a fool.” The summon said. Hopefully she won’t hurt father. Too much. “Dark press.”

  An orb of darkness appeared before her and she quickly moved it to float on top of father’s head. As it made its way there, father crashed into the ground. What is that spell? I’ve never heard of it?

  “Lesson one.” She said to me, notig my questioning gaze. “This spell is Dark Press. It makes it harder for eo move in its area. If the spell is powerful enough, it will force them to the ground like that.” She said pointing at father.

  Dark Press? And it prevents movement. I wish I had my notebook, but I left it on the b. I hope she won’t mind telling me in more detail afterwards. I don't think I could replicate this spell after just seeing it once.

  “LET ME GO!” Father was yelling. “ATTAG A NOBLE IS TREASON! YOU WILL BE EXECUTED FOR THIS!”

  “NO!” I yelled at him. You ’t do that.

  “You will order that beast to let me go!” Father growled on the ground.

  “And if I don’t?” Brian, who had walked up to us, asked. How he be so calm in this situation?

  “I will have you executed.” He said to Brian.

  “And how will you do that? Tell yuards to do it? Have you even sidered what will happen if you do that?” He asked taunting father.

  “Then you will DIE!” Father yelled.

  “Sure.” Brian said. “I’ll die while you are stuck to the ground. Do you really think yuards overpower my summons?”

  “That doesn’t matter. They will do as I say.”

  “Are y to get me to destroy this town?” Brian asked.

  “You will never get the ce.” Father said.

  “Sure I won’t.” Brian taunted. I feel like I should stop him, but I really? Do I even want to? Father has locked me up into this estate for my life. I only go outside during the foundiival. And even then, I’m just trapped in a carriage. The dungeon adventure was the first time I really was outside. And even then father had me trapped with guards.

  I really hope father will learn from this.

  “Could someone please expin what’s going on?” I heard a voice ask. I know that voice. I turn to face her.

  Mother.
