審判走了。381Please respect copyright.PENANAQvadzW9z9j

探子帶來的訊息很短,卻一字一字打在魔術師心裡。她並不難過,甚至一點情緒都沒有。381Please respect copyright.PENANAac7twq5cm2
381Please respect copyright.PENANAwmII8XijFA
或許有人會批評:兒時玩伴往生卻不悲傷算什麼好友?但魔術師才不管,她覺得難過便難過,高興便高興,要不要寫在臉上也是她的自由,而非演給別人看的惺惺作態。381Please respect copyright.PENANAHQRJ240nfI
381Please respect copyright.PENANAVVESPrY9Ul
若問魔術師對此是否感到震驚,答案當然是肯定的;問她是否在意料之內,答案卻同樣是肯定的——審判本來就該死,死得真好!伴隨平靜的情緒,一股無以名狀的怒火猛然襲上心頭。381Please respect copyright.PENANAWmoNAQYrMl

審判的死法實在太蠢,蠢到沒人敢相信她生前是魔法師——雖然只是個藉助道具才能施法、倚仗來路不明力量,卻又自稱神之使者的「凡人」驅魔師。381Please respect copyright.PENANA4tf7qmT4oh
381Please respect copyright.PENANAVQG5Co4a7h
認真說來,審判不算一竅不通,只是程度跟凡人相去不遠。即便如此,魔術師將她介紹給組織時,身為大老的死神仍舊讚美審判極具資質,並勉勵她繼續精進那悲劇般的法術。儘管當下魔術師感到不解,卻真心希望朋友慢慢步上軌道。381Please respect copyright.PENANAKgq4InsInu

審判確實不負期待,跟著資深的戰車努力學習;甚至結合各家經典,提出獨到的魔法理論,創造自己專屬的法陣。雖然理論的基礎早有先賢鋪路,專屬法陣也無法單靠她一人發動,但以那笨蛋來說,這成就已經相當了不起了。381Please respect copyright.PENANACFKXTd5XfV

然而,在一次任務結束後,審判變了個人。381Please respect copyright.PENANAFp4shs5KeW
381Please respect copyright.PENANAbjwJET8ySU
那次驅魔以失敗收場,不僅如此,還導致某村莊一夕間從地平線上消失。為此,組織背後的金主動用大筆金錢與人脈把消息壓下。封鎖實情並非難事,因為比起怪力亂神,現代人寧可相信災禍肇因於氣候變遷。381Please respect copyright.PENANAtVYTy88CuZ
381Please respect copyright.PENANAWAg3qtP9l2
經過檢討,上級最終承認了判斷失誤:以為只是普通妖怪,想不到竟是未知的存在;這本就超出一般驅魔處理的範圍,所以多數人並沒有怪罪負責任務的戰車和審判,但釀成大禍的兩人還是陷入深深自責當中。戰車不再指導新人,拒絕一切外出任務;審判則陷入長期低潮,宛若行屍走肉。也是,害死整村居民,要是還事不關己繼續生活,未免冷血過頭。381Please respect copyright.PENANAK2krA3j1F0
381Please respect copyright.PENANAgLbWFSKHpn
於是魔術師建議審判趁長假出門遠行,藉此調整心態重新出發,畢竟唯有繼續活著才能補償過錯。經過近兩個月的沉澱,歸來的審判雖不若過去朝氣蓬勃,至少神態清爽許多,熄滅的眼神再度燃起光明。381Please respect copyright.PENANAiCWflE18yf

那天上午,她告訴魔術師,以後不用借她道具了。381Please respect copyright.PENANASGzFj93iUd

「小逸,我會更努力,不會讓這種事情再次發生。只要有那個力量的話一定……」381Please respect copyright.PENANA4RTbbDKlfQ
381Please respect copyright.PENANAiVAo8t0Sgc
魔術師注意到面前的瞳孔漸漸失焦,對方語聲越來越低、越來越低。381Please respect copyright.PENANABU6eJ7Op7N
381Please respect copyright.PENANA1JbGbuLDK8
「絕對可以的……可以的……」381Please respect copyright.PENANA4xi5p441fY
381Please respect copyright.PENANAlATT9mn0n7
她到底想幹什麼?381Please respect copyright.PENANAJYR94z1F9I
381Please respect copyright.PENANAIslRj6OmEp
一片暗翳浮現魔術師的腦海,內心不知為何忐忑不安——有什麼正在發生,周遭卻平靜如常,不和諧得令人反胃——那是身陷迷霧而湧現的疑懼。381Please respect copyright.PENANATwmhDIUiuA
381Please respect copyright.PENANABif5sKge1S
不過,洞察力敏銳的魔術師很快便找出問題的癥結:381Please respect copyright.PENANA2yD00N5Ke6

審判似乎招惹到不得了的東西了。
