Deuce  |
Blot...Crystal? | |
Crowley  |
As I explained to you all previously…
...should a practitioner of magic accumulate so much Blot that it overflows, a phenomenon known as Overblot will occur. Blot is a byproduct produced upon casting magic made up of powerful toxins and stagnant Mana. That Blot then materializes as an enormous incarnation representative of the negative emotions of the Mage affected. | |
Ace  |
To pull someone out of Overblot…
You have to find a way to rip the Overblot monster away from the victim, right? | |
Deuce |
Yeah, that’s exactly what we did to bring our upperclassmen back to their senses when they went into Overblot. | |
Crowley |
…Indeed. The only way one can resolve an Overblot is to sever the magical connection between the incarnation and the caster.
There have apparently been instances where, once the incarnation has vanished, the condensed Blot held within it crystallizes. | |
Ace |
The Blot crystallizes? | |
Crowley |
Magic Gems already form through the crystallization of Mana flowing through the earth and air,
So it is not so strange to imagine that Blot, which is the dregs of Mana, would also crystallize. That said, I myself have never seen the real thing. Overblot in and of itself is an exceedingly rare phenomenon to begin with. However… Hmm. | |
| Choice 1: It's happened quite a lot for something supposedly so rare. | Choice 2: Is it really that rare of a phenomenon? | |
Ace |
Say, Headmaster, if I'm following you correctly…
Blot is already super bad for you in small amounts, but those black rocks are a condensed version of an even larger amount, right? | |
Crowley |
That is correct. | |
Ace |
Then there’s no way that eating tons of those things is going to have no consequences. | |
Deuce |
Did eating all those black rocks make Grim go berserk? | |
Crowley |
...This is all guess work. It is important to keep in mind that while Grim is able to communicate with us, at the end of the day, he is still a Monster.
When he lashed out at Yuu, that may have very well been his true self. The joint culture festival will continue as planned tomorrow. I cannot allow a dangerous Monster that may pose a threat to others to roam around the campus freely. | |
Deuce |
A dangerous Monster?! This is Grim we’re talking about! | |
Crowley |
I myself, do not wish to be suspicious of Grim.
After all, I am the one who chose to believe in him and allowed him to enter the school, despite him being a Monster. However… Depending on his condition, he may not be allowed to remain here any longer. | |
Ace |
Huh? Wait, you don’t mean… | |
Crowley |
Anyway, I need to gather the faculty and dorm leaders to capture Grim immediately. | |
Deuce |
Y-You have to be kidding! | |
Crowley |
Then, I will now take my leave.
Yuu, make sure to lock the door up tight. You two should get back to your dorm. It may be about time for them to make their move… | |
Ace |
Huh? | |
Crowley |
No, never mind me. Ahh, what a busy, busy time... | |
Ace |
When he says, "he may not be allowed to remain"…
Does he mean that Grim might be exterminated like some kind of dangerous Monster? | |
Deuce |
There's no way Grim would… Actually, wait, I guess it is true that he can be pretty greedy, and he doesn’t know how to be patient most of the time. He marches to the beat of his own drum.
But he would never hurt Yuu or any other student for no reason! I don’t think he would. Probably… I’m sure… | |
Ace |
C’mon man, stop saying crap that's just anxiety fuel.
Well, Monsters are just another kind of beast, so if one attacked a person or something, it’d totally make the news. I can see what the headmaster’s saying. | |
Deuce |
A-Ace...you…! | |
Ace |
But in the six months since we started school he and Yuu have become a pretty good team.
…With us too. | |
Deuce |
………!
Yeah, you're right. He's even made friends with the rest of our classmates. | |
Ace |
So what should we do? Actually, what do you want to do, Yuu? | |
| Choice 1: I want to hear everything from Grim himself. | Choice 2: I don't want this to be how my time with Grim ends! | |
Ace |
That’s what I thought you’d say. Alrighty, let's get moving and find out where the hell that idiot is. | |
Deuce |
Hell yeah. Let's find Grim before everyone else, and deck him before we ask what's going on! | |
