SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

"Why don't we just spin the wheel? I think that's what we're supposed to do."

Breaking the anxiety with her words was the oldest, but seemingly least mature of the three—Lemi Vindiel.

The Half Elf had grown tired of everyone's interpretation of the wheel before them, and she was pretty much bored of it all.

"What's the worst that could happen?" She asked.

The two boys instantly shot her a look that immediately buried her argument.

"We don't understand the language, so there's no way to decipher what we're spinning." Ivan murmured, taking the role of the most sensible of the three.

"It could also be a trap. Don't worry, everyone. I'll protect y—" Edwards was instantly stoped by Ivan's dirty glare.

'Don't be weird...' The red haired man thought to himself as he put his brain to work.

It was unfortunate, but he was surrounded by idiots. Both Edward and Lemi were airheads that didn't seem to understand how grave the situation was.

Still, they couldn't give up hope yet. He simply needed to think of the most rational approach.

'Ask yourself... what would Jared do?' Ivan closed his eyes and nodded, thinking deeply.

It took a while, but after sorting through all the options, he realized the simple solution.

"Why don't we just contact Jare...d...." His speech slowed down as he realized what was occuring in front of him.

>WHIIRRRRRRR<

His eyes bulged, and his heart tightened. Veins appeared on his face as his face twisted to form a frustrated, angry face.

"Why the hell is the wheel spinning?!" Ivan's bark echoed in the empty hallway.

He glared at the two idiots beside him, both fegining innocence.

"Don't look at me like that! One of you must have done it! Confess now! Arghhhh!!!" Gritting his teeth, his bloodshot eyes was filled with murderous rage.

"It was Edward!" Lemi quickly fessed up.

For a moment silence prevailed amid the three. Lemi's hand was pointed at Edward, whose face—previously filled with guilt—slowly morphed to surprise.

"W-wha—?! But you—!" The buff boy stuttered, sweat coming from his face.

His eyes displayed a hint of heartbreak. It seemed he didn't take the betrayal well, or rather... he didn't understand why Lemi told on him when—

"Edward, you..."

The red haired boy slowly approached Edward, his rage filled face displaying a warped look of terror.

"No! Relax, Ivan. It's not like that! The thing is, she told me to—"

"Argh! Guys, the wheel is slowing down." Lemi interrupted the boys, now pointing in the direction of the spinning wheel.

One had to wonder about the convenience of her timing, but the occurrence with the wheel was more important.

While none of the three knew exactly what to expect, they saw enough to tell then what to look out for.

A single arrow pointed upward, and whatever gradient it landed on was most likely the effect that would occur.

The one who explained all of this was Lemi. She wasn't familiar with the language, but she was still a genius in her own right.

Figuring out how the game worked was something she focused on, while the others simply wanted to avoid it.

"I'll be honest with you guys..." Lemi murmured, watching as the wheel was about to completely halt.

"I was the one who told Edward to spin the wheel. I think it's here for a reason."

"This girl..." Ivan's head was steaming hot at this point.

The most rational thing was to simply call Jared to help.

He knew more than all of them when it came to Arcanas. Sure, there was the possibility that he would be busy with his task, but they could simply ask questions and get a good perspective—at the very least.

But now...

"Trust me, guys. I have this intuition that it's the right thing to—

>DING!<

As soon as the arrow stopped on a gradient, a loud chime echoed within the hallway. The gradient glowed in response to its purple color.

>SHWWUUUUUSSSHHH<

A bright light suddenly enveloped everyone. Before they could react, they were overwhelmed by the brightness.

A few seconds passed, and the light finally sizzled out, allowing them to see.

"Ah... that was intense." Lemi rubbed her watery eyes as she opened them.

The blue and violet in her respective irises glimmered as she cutely stared around her—only to be met by an ugly, irritating sound.

"Lemi, youuuuu!!!" The screech offset Half Elf, causing her to jump in shock.

"What the hell, Ivan?" She shouted, equally upset.

Why did this guy have to be so rough in speech? Even though he was younger than her, not to talk of weak.

"I told you not to spin the wheel!"

"Who made you leader? On what basis?"

"W-well, that is—"

"You're not the oldest, I am! You're not even the strongest. Why should you call the shots?"

"We could have agreed unanimously. Why did you take the decision on your own?"

"I didn't! Edward and I agreed! Right E...dwar...?"

It was only at this point that the two arguing parties realized something they were too angry to notice before.

"W-where's Edward?"

At this point, anxiety slowly replaced the anger that dwelled in both their hearts. Their dear friend, Edward... was missing!

"Ah, where am I?" A confused muscular man glanced around him.

His eyes permeated curiousity, but no fear, as he took in his surroundings.

He was currently in a purple room, completely devoid of anything else, but the color. It was like he was stuck in an endless space, having only the color to recognize.

'Does it have something to do with the arrow striking purple? Most likely...'

At this point, the young boy vigilantly prepared himself. He couldn't see or sense Lemi or Ivan, even by stretching his perception to its limits.

'Lemi's judgement was what led to this situation... I wonder...' Edward had no ill will towards the girl.

However, he had to admit he was a bit rash. Now that he was trapped, all alone in this place, he couldn't help but feel this was his penance for spinning the wheel.

'What should I do?'
