37-失われた五人目





 In the darkness, where there was no way to see what was ahead, the light of the lamp in his hand was the only thing he could rely on.
 Mikhail's destination was the stairs leading to the basement of the school.

(Abel ....... Abel and ......! No way, no way. (It can't be: ......!)

 You move your eyes to the stone statue of a knight holding a sword in the basement passage.

 When you trace the crest on the hilt with your finger, the stone statue of the knight moves to the left, revealing a hidden door.

 You'll be able to find out what's behind this is the president's office, which only a limited number of people in the Earthria Magic Academy are allowed to enter.

''Well. I think it's ....... I'm sure they kept it around here .......

 Mikhail opened the locked drawer of his wooden desk and pulled out a single, tightly wrapped envelope from inside.

 Out of the envelope came a single, tattered letter, tarnished by the sun.

 Dear Descendants of Ore.

 
 Okay, guys. You.
 I'd like to tell you the truth about this world.

 The four sorcerers of Fire, Wind, Water and Ash, including me, are called the four great wise men who defeated the Demon King, right?

 But it's not true.
 The only person who really defeated the Demon King was an amber-eyed magician named Abel.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a good deal of information on this.

 The truth is, Abel was the only one who could defeat the demon king.

 That's a truth buried in the shadows of history.

 That's why. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's been called "The Descendants of the Brave".

 There's only one true hero, Abel.

 You have to keep that in mind.

 Sincerely, from Roy the Wind Warrior 

 Rereading the letter caused Mikhail's hand to pull and shake.

 There was a story that my grandfather, who had passed away, had told me so many times in the past that it made me ache.

 
 -- that there was a "lost fifth man" in the "Great Four Wise Men".

 The man with the same amber eyes as the demons was so severely persecuted by the public that he never left the history books despite his overwhelming ability.

 It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not. I'm not sure if it's right to take this as a coincidence.



 Of course, it's easy to dismiss it as being more than two hundred years old.
 No matter how great a sorcerer is, it would be impossible for him to survive for two hundred years in the future.

 So.
 Normally, there is no way that the Abel that Roy talks about and the Abel that is being talked about in the staff room are the same person.

 But why is that?
 The experience of Mikhail, who had lived for many years as a brave bloodline, had brought a vague unease to him.

'We'll have to find out. ...... Whether this boy's abilities are the real thing: ......'

 Mikhail muttered divinely and sat down in the armchair in front of the desk to adjust the white beard he had stored under his chin.
