�Yes, I heard from Ms. Romie that Anti-Magic is a magic that requires high mental fortitude, so casting it recklessly is dangerous. I guess I tried to hold out with the Defense Form without realizing it.�

Everyone, except Amy, was speechless.

Of course, if one did not specialize in Anti-Magic, it was difficult to achieve full efficiency. However, even taking that into account, it was a simultaneous attack by five people against one.

This kind of result would have been impossible if Shirone�s Spirit Zone was not stronger than all of the five Black Magician members combined.

Siena leaned her face close to Shirone�s. She lifted his eyelids around to observe his pupils, and when no abnormal findings were found, she sighed in relief

�Never do that again. Anti-magic is a much more dangerous magic than you might believe. We made it through safely this time, but if things had been different, someone could have ended up crippled with no way to use magic.�

Even Shirone, who had nerves of steel, felt a sinking feeling when he heard such a possibility directly from Siena. At the time, all that was going through his head was �protect Amy�.

Amy avoided his gaze. Since she was the one who put Sirone in danger, it was natural for her to have a guilty conscience.

Siena rested her chin on her hand and got lost in thought. To be able to subdue Anti-Magic meant that you had great talent. She knew from the beginning that he had excellent durability, but she didn�t expect it to be this splendid.

Thadd, on the other hand, scowled in disapproval. He got annoyed that Shirone could do something Amy couldn�t.

With that in mind, Thadd said.

�Shirone, why didn�t you tell us right away? The first thing you should have done was report it to us, not fly over and then report. I can�t understand why you, by yourself, went to go save a senior who is in a much higher class than you.�

Shirone and Amy felt that the time had finally come.

For once, Siena did not step in to stop Thadd. Since they were in a situation that involved Black Magician, an organization that has forced multiple students to drop out, she wanted to get at least this cleared up.

Shirone smiled and nodded to Amy who had a questioning look. Even if the secret was revealed, he wouldn�t resent her.

Amy sighed as if she could not do it.

�Okay. I�ll tell you the truth.�

Sharelle was more curious about Shirone�s secret than anyone else. How long have they known each other? No, rather than that, why was Amy covering for him?

�Actually, Shirone is��

As everyone waited in anticipation, Amy scratched her head, and with a big smile, she said�

�My lover.�

�WHAT?!�

The unexpected answer shook the room.

Despite his disbelief, Thadd pressed her for answers.

�Since when? You were never interested in dating. Besides, Shirone is a freshman who just entered the academy.�

�I met him when I was young, haha! This is common, is it not?�

Amy made a fuss on purpose.�

�This should do it.��

After all, she would soon graduate to the Advanced Classes anyways, and she wouldn�t run into Shirone much if their class time was different.

It would be noisy for a while, but it wasn�t a bad thing. If students found out that she had a lover, there would be fewer boys chasing her around. JrNovels.com
