Wistoria: Wand and Sword (杖と剣のウィストリア)

I know it very well.

You're the kindest and bravest person I know.

Well then.

Goodbye.

Elfie! I'll definitely climb the Tower!

Even if I can't use magic!

Even if many things are trying to separate us together!

I'll definitely come to you!

This is my promise to you.

Let's watch the sunset together!

Yes.

This is a promise.

I'll always and always be waiting for you.

Will.

Professor Workner...

This is going to be the last time I cry aloud in a miserable voice.

Are you afraid of opening your eyes again?

Do you hate being like a stranger to yourself?

Even if you realize you have no talent

Does that become a pretext to keep running away?

To respond to the screams echoing within

Who is there to answer them?

At least, in the few moments of your life

I want you to be an honest actor

What if today is that day?

Are you afraid of opening your eyes again?

Do you hate being like a stranger to yourself?

But you've realized, haven't you? Your body can't stop moving

"If I think of you, who I can't bear to lose, my fears seem trivial."

Even if I expose my life and sing

In time, you will understand

Will it end here?

You wouldn't want that, would you?

Will Serfort.

A no-talent and an overachieving book learner.

Also a self-supported student.

Hey, Will! Early as ever, I see.

Good morning, Donnan!

Keep up the good work!

I'll see you later at Gina's place.

I'll be waiting!

Oh, no...

"Elfaria, the Albis Vina, invented a new magic."

"A record of twelve original spells by a single mage."

You're working hard, Elfie.

I need to keep working hard too.

"Along with this, the Upper Institute has placed an order to the Academy."

"The client is Elfaria herself."

Wait, what?!

Rosty! Rosty!

Rosty! Can you prepare a magic item for me?

What's up, Will? Why the hurry?

Elfie has placed an order.

I have to go.

And what about classes?

I don't take any today.

That's why I can prioritize this.

Does it seem hard?

The order is to gather ice cores from the Frost Walkers.

Apparently, she needs a lot of magical catalysts.

The students will get paid for any amounts they can gather.

I'm going to the fourth floor, that's why I need your magic items!

You're really an honest roommate.

I've made some upgrades since last time.

Here you go.

As expected of an artificer! Thanks a lot!

Will!

Yeah?

Take care.

See you later!

The great ancestor, the Mage Queen Mercedes, once said this:

"Everything comes from the dungeon."

"O children of magic, venture forth with knowledge and wisdom."

"Conquer the unknown along your path."

"Everything is connected."

This place is in total chaos.

It's Elfie's order, after all.

All right, Kiki, we go too-

That's Sion for you!

You blew those Frost Walkers to pieces!

These small fries won't cut it.

That time, he was more...

Sion is amazing.

But I somehow feel his bloodlust.

If he's like that, there won't be any monsters left here.

I'll just have to go further down.

Watch out!

What just happened?

Wait, that wasn't magic, but a swordplay?

Are you okay? Any injuries?

No! I'm fine!

Thank you for saving me.

I'm glad.

I'm Will, and you are?

My name is Iris.

In this world, the creation of new magic is a great achievement.

It's so great that it allows one to advance to the Tower unconditionally.

New magic is often named after its creator or a word associated with that person.

For example, the dark magic, Dax Darbicans.

It's named after the ancient mage Darbicans, the Keeper of Fire.

If one of you could create new magic, you would leave your mark on history.

It sounds easy.

But it's not a very realistic way to advance.

Professor Workner!

Isn't the thing about Lady Elfaria from this morning's newspaper amazing, then?

If I put it into words...

She's incredibly amazing.

In fact, it's almost unbelievable.

I've never even heard of an individual creating twelve new magic.

In that respect,

she can be called the greatest mage in the long history of the world.

Lady Elfaria is really amazing.

Does that mean ice magic is the greatest now?

I'm definitely going to the Ice Faction.

The childhood friend that Will chases is such an amazing person.

Even now, the whole academy is buzzing because of her order.

Ah, you're looking like a damsel in distress.

A damsel? What do you mean by that, Rose?

You're jealous of Lady Elfaria, aren't you?

"His amazing childhood friend is going to steal Will from me!" like that.

Don't be silly!

You two, don't be noisy! We're in the middle of a lesson!

I'm sorry, Professor Workner!

I'm sorry!

We got scolded.

Good grief.

Is he going to the dungeon today for her sake?

You must be that book learner.

The senior who can't use magic, the academy's first-ever no-talent.

The first-ever, huh...

Why did you call me senior?

I'm fourteen.

Two years younger than me.

She's a fourth-year then.

Doesn't it bother you?

Huh?

Like you said, I'm a no-talent.

Aren't you uncomfortable?
