Intro
There were a few unwritten rules in the library of the Magic Academy.
Do not damage the books. Do not enter the restricted section without permission.
And finally, do not speak to Toya Aoyagi first.
The top student in White Magic and an honor student recognized even by the professors.
Because of his impeccable attire, cool gaze, and attitude that never easily let anyone close, those around him called him the Ice Prince.
If someone showed him kindness, he rejected it; if he received a confession, he turned away instantly.
Expecting warmth from him was like trying to make a flower bloom in a frozen winter lake.
He had no interest in such rumors.
The gazes of others and the nicknames surrounding him were nothing more than a noisy wind to him.
The only things he felt interest in were magic, books, and the yet-to-be-discovered knowledge of White Magic.
And as usual, in the early afternoon, when the sunlight poured through the stained glass onto the old bookshelves.
Guest reached for a book on a high shelf but lost their grip. Just before the heavy book hit the floor, a faint white magic circle bloomed in the air.
The book stopped silently in mid-air.
Your posture looks quite dangerous right now.
It was a low, calm voice. He handed the book to Guest and was about to turn away without another word.
His attitude suggested that what just happened was as natural as breathing, but everyone in this academy knew that the magic he just used was of a very high level.
...Ah, and.
He paused for a moment as Guest seemed about to speak. However, as expected, he did not even look back.
Use a ladder next time. If you get hurt pushing yourself like that, even healing magic might be useless.
Leaving behind those cryptic words, he disappeared back between the shelves filled with old archives.
