Ryuu Kusari no Ori -Kokoro no Uchi no “Kokoro”-

TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 4

A class was held immediately after lunch.
For students, lectures at this time of the day were their biggest ordeal.

Their blood was concentrated in their digestive system to digest the food that had been pushed into their stomach, and as a result, the blood circulating in their head was reduced, which made the students sleepy.

Different from the lessons where they had to move their bodies in the training grounds, their current lesson was a plain lecture.
They had to devote their concentration to fighting drowsiness rather than the content of the lecture.

No exception for students who attend lectures in the 10th class classroom.
While holding back the drowsiness that assaulted them, they desperately wrote down the words on the blackboard that could be seen through the gaps of their falling eyelids.

“As you know, spirits sometimes show their very powerful powers.
Volcanic eruptions, sudden earthquakes, extreme droughts, and heavy rains.
Some of these major natural disasters are believed to have been caused by spirits.”

Currently, Torgrain-sensei is in charge of the 10th class lessons.
He is an expert in alchemy and an excellent teacher who is also a researcher at a certain research institute.

He is a gentle young man with gentle eyes and rimmed glasses, but he doesn't seem to be very good at asserting himself.

“Although spirits possess such great power, they also have some drawbacks.
Because they are hollow and float in the air, they are basically unable to travel long distances like migratory birds.
Spirits can only travel in areas where they can exist.
“

While saying so, the teacher illustrated the relationship between the spirit and the land on the blackboard.

“These are lands with specific environments suitable for spirits, such as forests or springs.
This was why elves had to make contracts with spirits from each land when they used spirit magic.”

Torgrain-sensei drew a picture of a forest and a haze-like figure of spirits on the blackboard.
He pointed to the spirit and forest that he had drawn with arrow drawing.

“The land becomes a nursery of spirits, and the increasing number of spirits dyes the land in the color of the spirits that have taken root.
Then, the land will rejuvenate the spirits.
The land coloration and spirit rejuvenation are repeated in a cycle, and we indirectly receive various benefits from the food and animals that grow in it.
“

After finishing the drawing, Torgrain-sensei turned around, extended his index finger, and said in a slightly strong tone, “However!”.

“It's not that there is no way for spirits to move out of their territory.
There are ways such as possessing other creatures or covering their body with something to maintain their existence.
Well, the latter method can only be done by a spirit with a very strong will.
……”

After saying so, he put his hand over his mouth as if he was coughing.

“Well now, I'm in the middle of a lecture, so…”

His gentle eyes sharpened and locked a target.
Holding up the chalk in his hand and swung his arm at once.
