SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

"Come on… you can't be serious."

"Fr, fr... I'm not joking."

"Hahaha. Stop it!"

Two people were shamelessly enjoying each other's company.

Even in this loud and active ceremony, they seemed to be in a world of their own. They laughed and spoke intimately, as they enjoyed each other's company.

These two were none other than Kuzon and Ana.

"When will I be meeting your parents, though? Are they still busy?"

"Come on, I'm not emotionally prepared yet." Ana covered her face, blushing as she squealed.

Kuzon couldn't help but poke at her little body, causing her to burst out in laughter as he tickled her.

"S-stop… people are watching… haha…" Even though she said that, Ana made no move to halt his advances.

What could she do with her tiny body, though?

"Hehe, maybe I should search for the Frederick family among the guests."

"S-stop… nooo…"

"It shouldn't be too hard. I'll just look for any woman who looks like you… but is a little taller."

"KUZZOOONNNN!!!"

"Hahaha!"

At this point, Kuzon fled and Ana chased him with her little legs—both of them laughing and yelling at the same time.

A couple of weirdos, they were.

"Jerry, where are youuuu!"

Ciara Epilson was faced with a major problem. She couldn't find Jerry, who had promised to be her date for today's event. Ever since the opening ceremony, she hadn't laid eyes on him.

'Why does he keep avoiding me? This is so not fair.'

Ever since the war ended, they hadn't had much time together. It hurt her and she didn't know how else to deal with it.

'He promised to tell me something after we ended the war. And he still hasn't… Jerry, that jerk! Could it be… that there's another girl?'

A murderous aura instantly took over Ciara and her eyes shone with violence as she activated her sensory Magic to search every nook and cranny of the massive hall to find him—as well as whichever whore he was with.

'Jerry is mine and mine alone!' Her thoughts rang as she walked with climbing rage.

Searching and looking around proved futile, so she decided to ask the people she met on her way. Her first target was Ivan—who was talking with Freya.

Ciara didn't know—neither did she care—what they were discussing, but Ivan was swirling the wine in his cup and smirking weirdly as he spoke. In return, Freya was giggling. The fact that they even stood close to each other while speaking also sent a special message.

"Hey, have any of you seen Jerry?" She interrupted their moment with no remorse.

"Uh…. no?" Ivan said, clearly annoyed.

"Are you sure?" Ciara narrowed her eyes and more of her intimidating aura leaked out.

Instantly, Ivan corrected his glare and beads of sweat formed on his face. He once again realized his place in the hierarchy—especially where Ciara was concerned.

"U-uh… I am… sure…"

Freya simply watched in silence, wondering what the big deal was.

"Hmm. I see…" Ciara narrowed her eyes further, and then after a few seconds of tense silence, she left the both of them alone—although, she decided to leave a passing comment before completely walking away.

"You both like each other, don't you?"

With that, she skittered off, leaving the two acquaintances blushing hard.

Ciara continued her search and saw Edward and Lemi being stupid, as usual. Edward was blushing hard and laughing, while Lemi was busy regaling him with whatever thrilling tale she had.

It was mostly stuff about her research, but Edward seemed to dig the stuff. He didn't even appear to be pretending. It felt like he genuinely liked hearing her talk about Magic Technology and experiments.

Considering he was best friends with Ana, though, that wasn't a surprise.

"Tch." Ciara ignored the two, proceeding to look elsewhere for a more productive answer.

To be frank, the atmosphere was getting to her. Everywhere she looked, she would either see couples or potential couples talking and enjoying themselves.

It made her very salty.

Where was her date? Where was Jerry in this obviously magical moment? She missed him, and she so desperately wanted him to be by her side.

So much so that she was slowly going crazy.

'Jerry… Jerry… Jerry…!!!'

[MEANWHILE]

"I bet you're wondering what I'm doing here…"

Jerry's voice was a bit hollow and soft and he was speaking to the being that sat beside him.

"Uh… not really."

Gawain was the one beside him—an Automaton who was rather sentient but was also not as interested in humans and their events.

"Everyone is out there enjoying the party, but here I am… hiding."

"Dude… I don't really—"

"I need to let this out, man. I hope I'm not bothering you too much."

To be frank, Jerry was indeed bothering Gawain. The Automaton came to this place, the storage area, to have some alone time since many people kept looking at him and asking him questions.

He was a sentient Automaton, but that didn't mean he was a very social one.

Not long after he found his solitary paradise, this human walked in and practically began to pour out unnecessary information.

"I… I'm actually hiding from someone. She's a close friend. We've known each other since we were kids."

'Is he talking about Ciara Epilson? No shit.' Gawain nearly let out an external sigh.

Information on Jared's teammates were already among his memory files and he knew all about Ciara and Jerry's very odd relationship— though even he didn't understand what the heck was going on.

Well, if Jared couldn't comprehend it, who was he to get what they were all about?

"I promised we could hang out today, but I can't bring myself to face her. It's been this way for three months now. I… I just…"

These feelings swirling within him, was it finally time to let them out?

Jerry could think of no better time and no better person to talk to.
