Chapter 8: Commotion
"What? What do you mean the student can't be found?!"
The deputy headmaster slammed his palms on his desk as he roared at one of his subordinates.
He had already handed over the future Magna of Flames to her appropriate master.
However, she left them with a rather concerning warning, saying she wouldn't be able to focus on training without knowing that her childhood friend was safe.
All they needed to do was locate a darned, recently enrolled apprentice.
Yet, despite steadily increasing their efforts and investing more manpower, devices, and mana into the search—even extending it to city-level—they still couldn't find the one-star student named Hal Fennec!
The academy didn't particularly care about the young man himself.
However, they couldn't allow him to impact Ennya Kasai's training negatively.
They had to find Hal immediately and confirm his safety to the talented Magna prospect.
Only then could they rest easy.
The problem was, the rather hilarious-to-most fact about Hal's one percent mana affinity and his so-called home decoration artifact now had the academy faculty on edge, as it could very well result in the young man taking his own life.
