Chapter 103: Shirone’s Resolve
"Shirone... sometimes he just seems to fade away."
"Oh? That sounds quite poetic."
Amy chuckled, finding the thought peculiar as well.
"But it’s true. There was a major incident at the magic school. The entire student body was in danger. If it weren’t for Shirone, it would have been a disaster—for everyone, including me."
"The entire student body? What happened?"
Amy recounted the Arcane incident and how Shirone ultimately sacrificed himself for everyone.
"..."
Tess was speechless for a moment.
Who could make such a choice? Even more than the magic Shirone had shown so far, that was what shocked her the most.
"As I fell off the cliff, I heard Shirone’s voice. At the time, I was too panicked to process it, but thinking back now, I realize... Shirone seemed so faint. As if he might disappear before my eyes—no, as if he might vanish from the world itself."
"What do you mean?"
"His perspective."
