The Royal Magic Academy, which lies East of the Royal Castle.
In a room within its building that is built out of white marble. In the Thermano research room, there are the figures of a middle-aged man who is sitting in a chair with his face covered, and students who surround him.
「I will go and call the Academy head」
One student from among the three male students said and left the room.
The sound of his footsteps as he ran down the hallway grew softer and softer with each passing moment.
The gaze of the two remaining students went back and forth between the professor who is sitting on the chair and the space between a small bottle that is on the appraisal table.
「Academy head! Here it is」
After waiting a while. Along with the student who opened the door with much vigor, the Academy head leaped through it.
A gentleman with silver-gray hair that has been hardened stiff by gel. He seems to have ran here as his shoulders moved up and down as he heaved.
The student, whose cheeks are flushed from his excitement, pointed at the appraisal table as he shouted.
「Please have a look at these indications! And that faint white light! There is no doubt that it is an Elixir!」
The academy head runs up to the appraisal table without even giving himself time to catch his breath.
And with his head almost sticking to the end of the table, he stared at the small bottle. A voice of amusement leaked out from his mouth that is slightly open.
Looking at this, the student declared with his chest puffed out.
「Finally, the research that Professor Thermano has been conducting for many years has finally bore fruit and the Elixir is complete!」
(Eh?)
The expression on the face of Explosive Onee-sama suddenly changes.
The figure of her controlling herself so as not letting her joy show on her face has disappeared with that single voice.
She immediately turns her face to look at the professor while the slim middle-aged man looks down as-is and does not move.
「As expected of Thermano-kun. I knew that if it is you, you will be able to accomplish it one day」
The academy head says these words with a smile on his face. However, Thermano did not react to those words.
「……Thermano-kun?」
No, it is not that there was no reaction from him. Upon closer inspection, he is quaking slightly.
It is as if he is holding back the wave of emotions he is experiencing with everything he has.
(Can it be)
The occasion he recalled to. He who has that recollection panicked as he looked around.
What he saw is a male student who has a proud expression on his face, the Thermano who does not raise his head, and a fidgety Explosive Onee-sama who has a pale face.
(Is that it!)
The academy head understands the situation after a moment. He shifts his gaze to Explosive Onee-sama and opens his mouth.
「You, could it be the one who creates the Elixir was–」
However, it was too late. Thermano exploded before that.
Thermano jumped up from his chair as if it has been fitted with a spring and used both of his hands to grab the male student, who has pride written all over his face, from the front.
Then came one word. The mouth that slants downwards said it swiftly.
「Die」
