The following morning, the Academy’s Great Hall was buzzing with a single topic: the "Invisible Girl" who had dared to speak to Prince Alistair as if he were a common merchant.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijXASz7Okg

Luna sat at the very end of the furthest breakfast table, practically blending into the grey stone of the wall. She was happily eating a bowl of plain porridge, enjoying the fact that three different students had accidentally placed their books on her lap because they thought she was part of the bench.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMtoUzTJnz

"She called me a loser!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTAd7NOADu
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFapDOqS2Qb
The voice, shrill and theatrical, echoed from the center of the hall. Prince Alistair was surrounded by his "Golden Guard"—a group of sycophants who spent their time agreeing with everything he said.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46GTjCrngi
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR8xMFV50z
"I didn't say that," Luna muttered into her porridge. "I said you were blocking the way. The loser part was just a private observation."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe7ystpH4Y
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU9xNnyXFB
"Prince Alistair, please! Do not let the words of a commoner upset your delicate constitution!" one of the girls cried, offering him a scented fan.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtRCtG0GEV
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLMWgWw5HL
Alistair slammed a fist onto the table, causing his silver spoon to clatter. "It’s not just the insult! It’s the... the emptiness! When I looked at her, she didn't gasp. She didn't faint. She didn't even ask for my autograph! It was like looking into a void! I, the future King, will not be treated like a void!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsutHomFIx
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDPfdmEXbZ
He stood up, his cape swishing dramatically. "I shall find her! I shall make her realize the glory of my presence until she begs for my forgiveness!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabVoUaNBGS
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgNpqOcfuf
Luna sighed, slouching lower. Please don't. That sounds like a lot of eye contact.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa5778uA7s

Later that afternoon, Luna headed toward the "Forbidden Forest" at the edge of the campus. The Headmaster had given her a key to a private gate so she could "vent" her magic without blowing up a classroom.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lgnpJQTdA
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsjWL1cNck
She reached a clearing, checked three times to make sure she was alone, and raised a single finger.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTpZrPJeLt
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWjHuiM2i2
"Compression," she whispered.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JTZSsEh8H
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKC2VEdFFf
A sphere of pure black energy formed at her fingertip. It hummed with enough power to level a mountain range. With a flick, she sent it flying toward a massive boulder. The rock didn't explode—it simply ceased to exist, deleted from reality without a sound.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNSzFbuWKC
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnfhM2qC7G
"Better," Luna murmured. "My mana felt a bit itchy today."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv5NywhrRS
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4jcjDraxE
"Oh, the humanity! The tragedy! The cruelty of fate!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutriAE0KZq
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8EgJ1XoPp
Luna froze. That annoying, melodic wailing could only belong to one person. She quickly pulled her hood up, her "Presence Concealment" magic kicking in automatically. She became little more than a smudge of shadow against a tree trunk.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaq0mfmows
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBl5RsmWYs
Prince Alistair stumbled into the clearing. He wasn't practicing magic. He was sitting on a stump, staring at a small paper bag.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNgAI3BaVi
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M6bl2MOSB
"How," Alistair sobbed to himself, "does one open this... 'hot-dog'?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFABOTRXW7
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH8O22CtlF
Luna watched from the shadows, her eyes widening in disbelief. The Prince was holding a common street-vendor hotdog as if it were a live bomb. He pulled out a velvet-lined case and extracted a miniature silver fork and a tiny silver knife.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ27QwIHSB
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLflV8prhOr
"The vendor said it is 'finger food,'" Alistair sniffled, dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief. "But fingers are for wearing rings! If I touch the bread, my cuticles might soften! Oh, why must the world be so harsh?"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lsHKMGhgS
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbN3EhvoI5
He began to delicately try and saw through the bun with his tiny silver knife. The sausage slipped, sliding off the stump and landing directly in the dirt.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILKNBQOMhP
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh883WTYmcP
Alistair stared at the fallen hotdog. His face turned a bright, dusty pink. His lip began to tremble.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNouiXowEq

"WAAAAAAAH! MY LUNCHEON!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nqmuvOMt6
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWAD7wpymK
Luna leaned her head against the tree. He’s crying. He’s actually crying over a dropped sausage. This is the man who is supposed to protect us from the Demon King? We are all going to die.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1v6PbmReh
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ901ZeIqsMK
She felt a sudden urge to just walk away, but her foot snapped a dry twig.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZ1l5PcQx
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGMSHbNiYu
Alistair’s head snapped up. "Who’s there? Is it you? The Girl from the hallway? I know that aura of utter boredom anywhere!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b4XmqVBWu
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwkW4Rrjcg
He scrambled to his feet, tripping over his own cape and landing face-first in the grass.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cpMm0JQHl
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcmH9J9jWc
"Stay away," Luna’s voice drifted from the shadows, sounding like the wind.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB4hJvclQg
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoQm3nwKY3
"Wait! Help me!" Alistair cried, reaching out a hand (which was now covered in mud). "I've lost my lunch and my dignity is bruised! As a citizen, it is your duty to assist your Prince!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKeDdxWD9s
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfmloiaycp
"I'm a ghost," Luna lied flatly. "Oooooh. Spooky. Go away."174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qCCZSCKgm
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddRCrDfpfb
"Ghosts don't smell like cinnamon rolls from the cafeteria!" Alistair yelled, wiping mud off his forehead and looking around frantically. "Come out! I command you! I need someone to tell me I’m still handsome!"174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlDHSwpxFU
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYazdP20DXi
Luna didn't answer. She was already ten meters away, moving through the trees like a silent mist.174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTVbKBhVNY
