The sun in the sky is getting redder than the west, and a few clouds are floating above the sky outside the window.

How long have you been waiting? Kissia can't remember it. It's been a long time anyway.

"What the hell am I doing..."

This was not supposed to be like this. This afternoon, he turned down all his official duties and planned to continue to explore the secrets of the gems, but later he found that the person he had been thinking about had finally entered the school area, so he immediately prepared to sit here... But why? Why didn't he come?

I wasted all afternoon, posing here like a fool... Of course it is impossible. He is also the principal. He is an anti-professional behavior when he is empty during working hours.

After more than an hour, Kissia had to start preparing and pre-processing tomorrow's work. Anyway, the laboratory can't go back to the laboratory, and the experiment cannot be disturbed, so the people below will come up at any time.

In other words, there is no time to finally leave your official duties today...

"What the hell am I doing..."

【Dongda】

After putting the school's seal on a project application, Kissia unknowingly expressed such emotion, and then he threw away the eagle-headed gold seal in his hand.

With a wave of the magic wand, all the piles of paper were classified into one place, the drawer closed and the ink stains dissipated.

This man, his decadence and sighs just now, disappeared like a phantom, and his eyes were filled with energy again.

Standing up, the gentleman's cane fell to the ground, and Kishuya walked towards the door.

Just now, two extremely convergent magic polymers appeared in the corridor in front of his door.

【Dongdongdongdongdongdong】

"Ji~Shu~Ah~! I'm here to play with you!"

An extremely cute childish voice rang out from outside the door.

Puff cough cough cough cough

Kishuya's steps were almost staggered by himself.

"Ahem, please come in."

With a wave of his wand in his hand, the office door was opened. Kissia stood in the middle of the room, looking at the pair of silver-haired sisters at the door, feeling helpless:

"Welcome to you, Gith, Einzberen. Especially Gith, how come you have become... much more beautiful after a few days?"

Although I know that Xingke's new posture looks beautiful because of its good genes, why did he change his clothes so much now? Kissia is very curious.

"If you dare to ask more questions, I will destroy you."

“…”

If you have strong power, you can do whatever you want. Gishuya decided not to be curious.

"Okay, please sit here for two." Kissia pointed the two at the reception area beside her and asked:

"But don't you think this time is a bit inappropriate? It's time for dinner soon."

"I know, so we just came over and asked you to have a place to live. I'll stay in the clock tower for a while recently, so this time is just right. I don't plan to work today anyway... Alas? Kisshoa? What's wrong with you?"

As soon as Xingke sat on the sofa and was about to rest, he saw Mr. Kissia, who looked desperate, and sad, intertwined with his face, as if he had lost something important, and was thrown into the abyss by Moon's mother.

"Hey! ~ Kisshoya, don't scare me? Are you going to die young? Where can we go to live if you die? ~ Hey"

Xingke looked very anxious and raised his wand and poked Kishuya's shoulder.

Xingke didn't know how ashamed Kissia was now...

In the end, Xingke and his team got a complete faculty and staff apartment with very complete conditions and could be regarded as a very good duplex apartment.

After all, it was arranged by the principal himself for them, but this key principal himself was always expressionless and in a state of dismay until he left.

Is there any kidney deficiency? But Xingke didn’t see him having a secretary?

It was soon for dinner, and it was also the time for Xingke and Diana to make an appointment to meet again. The place they had already seen when they first arrived here in the afternoon, and it was connected to the first-floor lobby with a glass dome building.

The Clock Tower restaurant is also created in the original decoration of the Void Open-top Restaurant in Hornheim, but it is smaller here. After all, the Clock Tower population... to be honest, not much.

But even though I knew not much, after seeing the empty scene in the restaurant, Xingke couldn't help but sigh.

"There are so few people."

Although I don’t like the crowds and the bustling crowds around me, Xingke still felt a little empty.

It was clearly [the student cafeteria for dinner], but the surrounding dishes and seats were much more than hungry students. Xingke couldn't react for a while. After all, in his memory, the recent school was actually in the world's Shui Minghao.

"Of course, brother"

Seeing the combination of Xingke and Ilia, Diana, who had been waiting aside, said goodbye to the two girls beside her who seemed reluctant to leave and walked towards her.

"Yo, Diana, good evening." Xing Ke smiled.

"Little Anna, was that your friend just now?" Ilia asked with a smile.

"Good evening, brother, sister Ilia. Hannah and Barbara are my friends, but please don't care about them."

Diana always feels that it would be of no benefit if her two friends were involved in an abnormal creature like her brother.

"Hmm? OK... Diana, it's natural for you to say that there are few people in the clock tower? What does it mean?" Xing Ke felt that he was slandered again.

"What does it mean... Brother, aren't you one of the founders of the Clock Tower?"

"Well, little Anna, just think we have just returned to this world and can't keep up with this era." Elia said.

"...Okay, let's find a seat first."

He was led by Diana to a corner near the window that was deviated from the crowd. Diana knocked on the table and the dinner today, which was allocated according to the number of people, appeared on the table.

It seems to be a meal ready to be sealed in a different space inside the desktop.

"I don't know what happened thirty years ago, but the number of wizards in Britain is about 8,000 to 9,000... This number, brother, sister Iliya, do you understand what it means?"

"What concept, the concept of extinction?" Xingke took a bite of the sandwich and said in a speechless manner.

"Gis, swallow it before speaking, and... don't speak so bluntly." Ilia reminded.

"Uh... well, that's it. Hornheim has long expanded the enrollment scope to some areas such as Europa, North Asia, North America, etc. due to insufficient students.

But even so, the number of students enrolled in the latest class is only 180, and the total number of students in the seventh grade is only about 1,500, and the academic leaders who can enroll in the clock tower are at most about one-tenth... As far as I know, the number of students resident students, professors and researchers who stay on campus is 376."

"Well...thanks to Cop, Diana."

Just now, Xingke finally had a very intuitive understanding of the Dharma-Ending World and the extent to which the Dharma-Ending World reached.

"Little Anna, do you know the situation of other magic academies?"

Ilia remembers that it is not only Hornheim, a college in Europe, but is it really good that they will expand their enrollment scope now?

"Demstrong has gone bankrupt within Europe. After the last class of students graduated seven years ago, they merged all their students into Boothpadton. Now their school is divided into two colleges, just like Hornheim is divided into four colleges.

As for other continents, I didn’t hear anything, but I heard…”

Speaking of this, Diana's expression changed, she was a little hesitant, and even put down the Apple Pie that was about to finish her mouth:

"At that time, I was still young and had not been told the truth, but I heard some discussions from adults: in some countries where the social situation is not stable, it seems that magicians participated in the war, and then it caused a large-scale inventory of mysterious forces by Muggle regimes in the world..."

"Witch Hunting?" Xing Ke's eyes lit up.

"Gis, what are you thinking? It's impossible, humans in this era are not that barbaric."

"Well, it's not that excessive. I heard that if the arrested wizard is weaker and unable to escape, he will be forced to be imprisoned and guarded as a criminal."

After all, it is a war area, and some methods that civilized society cannot use may be used, even the same is true for troops called justice.

"The final result was that many Southeast Asian wizards made sacrifices, disrupted the war, created a large number of war refugees migrated to Europe, and smuggled into Europe, where the mysterious forces had not completely declined... As long as they were mingled with refugees, wizards without identity certificates would not be questioned too strictly."

This is really... a big surprise event.

"Where is the time?"

“…Five or six years ago, it should be around 2018.”

Xingke suddenly felt familiar, I don’t know if it was encountered in history.

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, the mysterious decline of this world is already a certain matter. When things have developed to this point, Xingke does not think that the ruling institutions of various countries are still as ignorant of the mysterious forces as they were a hundred years ago.

The forgetting spell is not omnipotent. The biggest loophole is that if there are fewer people who can cast spells and those who can make magic potions to a certain extent, they will lose the means to suppress them in the face of a large number of insiders. One hundred people know that it is okay, but ten thousand, and one hundred thousand are out of the way.

Moreover, isn’t there a magical method in this world as a means of spreading [secret]?

[Science produces power because of sharing, while mystery is powerful because of keeping secrets.]

"It seems that the fate of this world is to completely clear away the mysterious things..." Ilia sighed:

"Gis, have you divined the fate of this world?"

"Well, on April 1, 2166, the mystery of this world has completely disappeared."

"Really or not?"

"Fake it. As long as I am here, the future of this world is in a non-deterministic state, and I cannot divine it."

"You really plan to do something." Ilia suddenly realized.

"That's of course, this is one of my purposes when I came to the clock tower."

Xingke has never told Ilya what his purpose was to come to the clock tower. Now he admitted it very readily. This afternoon he also told Dumbledore that he was going to do a big project with Kishuya, but he just didn't know what his plan was.
