| According to Goslar, the anomaly in Harz was caused by the awakening of a certain thought entity that had been lying dormant in the academy's dungeons. | ||
| It was said to have resided inside a magical artifact that had been kept in storage, but it had been so long ago that all the teachers had forgotten about its existence. | ||
| It's a rather unsettling story, but Quedlinburg noted that the entity seems to have been a Harz mage. It seems that the grandness of the great magi goes far beyond our imagination. | ||
 Quedlinburg |
"It's amazing that the academy's dungeons are like a labyrinth." | |
|---|---|---|
 Wernigerode |
"Hmmhmm, I knew about it. According to family tradition, we used to train in these dungeons. We worked hard every day to overcome their fears so that we could use Dream Magic in the dark fearlessly." | |
 Goslar |
"That's not what I heard, Wernigerode." | |
| Wernigerode |
"But that's a story my grandmother told me when I was little, though?" | |
| Goslar |
"We used to hold Dream Magic test of courage in the dungeons. However it was eventually cancelled because a lot more children got frightened than expected. It was invented by your grandmother." | |
| Wernigerode |
"My-my grandmother...". | |
| Quedlinburg |
"Wernigerode's grandmother, she was an interesting one, wasn't she...?" | |
| Goslar |
"Yeah. She loved to surprise people and make them laugh, and Dream Magic suited her better than anyone else." | |
| Goslar |
"Well everyone, we're almost there. We should be safe alongside the academic professors, but still, never let your guard down." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"Hey, I'm starting to get nervous." | |
| Wernigerode |
"Professor Goslar, who exactly is the thought entity inside the magical artifact?" | |
| Goslar |
"A dark mage who used to be in Harz." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"Dark magic... So there was someone just like me once?" | |
| Goslar |
"The only similarity is that you're both dark magi. Other than that, Quedlinburg is completely different. After all, the story is that she was an untouchable demagogue." | |
| Wernigerode |
"How did this demagogue wake up?" | |
| Goslar |
"Because of Halloween." | |
| Wernigerode |
"Halloween? Does she have something against pumpkins?" | |
| Goslar |
"Halloween in Harz is now the most spectacular and popular event in the world. Everyone comes up with a Dream Magic trick for Halloween and performs it en masse on this day." | |
| Goslar |
"But the fact that dream magic is performed en masse all over the Harz means that all the magic is concentrated in Harz at once. This year will be the most exciting ever and a tremendous amount of magical power is accumulated as such." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"Are you saying that the enormous amount of magical power has awakened the dark mage?" | |
| Goslar |
"From her point of view, it would be too noisy for her to sleep." | |
| Goslar |
"Of course, the professors at the Academy know about me and Quedlinburg, we're only talented in offensive magic. They understand that we're different, yet recognise us as Harz magi." | |
| Goslar |
"So it appears that if we show her Dream Magic, they are hoping that the dark magi thought entity will like Harz magic as much as I and Quedlinburg do." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"As expected of Harz professors. It's a peaceful way of thinking..." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"But I wonder if that idea will get through." | |
| Wernigerode |
"No? I think it's a lovely idea." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"As an idea I love it too. But the idea of Dream Magic, with all its love, is too radically different from other magic branches." | |
| Wernigerode |
"I can understand that. But she's also Harz magi, even if she's a thought-entity, no? If you show her something fun, isn't there a chance that she'll open up to you?" | |
| Quedlinburg |
"Professor Goslar and I are offensive mages, but we liked Dream Magic from the very beginning, so we love and can accept the idea." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"But, I don't think she'll get the message just because we said, 'Come on, let's have fun together' if she doesn't like Dream Magic." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"Especially dark magic, because it's like the opposite of Dream Magic..." | |
| Wernigerode |
"Oh, right, she interfered with Dream Magic with her black aura. It seems likely that she hates Dream Magic." | |
| Quedlinburg |
"Professor Goslar, I have a feeling we'd better hurry." | |
| Goslar |
"Yeah. I'm getting a bad feeling about it too. Very well, let's talk and persuade the headmaster to let me and Quedlinburg, who can handle offensive magic in Harz, handle this." | |
