《I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage》Chapter 20
Advertisement
I stare straight at Price before a realization hits me. “Why are you asking me for help? You’re the best mage after Natasha Broffenberg.”
“Two weeks ago, she told me two things. One was that her student would enter this school so I should look after you. The second was that she was investigating this group, and if anything happened to her, I should look to you. Earlier this morning, the safety gem she gave me turned red.” He pulls a string over his head to reveal a necklace with a red stone as a pendant.
“Red doesn’t necessarily mean she is in danger. Perhaps she just entered a magic jam zone.” I’m prone to disbelieve that anything could happen to her. She is, after all, the best mage in the world. She would have taken some precautions. Now I’m unsure as to whether this man is really Price Manilla or not. Maybe he is and he’s just a worrywart, but if he isn’t, that’s very bad. Why would he look confused when I mentioned the memory gem? Is it really because he didn’t know who created it, or was he not aware of it in the first place?
“I really hope nothing bad has happened to her, but if something did, you’re the only one who would be able to do anything.”
Taking on a quest within a week of entering school is definitely not what I was looking for. I sigh and bury the suspicions for now. “If something happened to her, she is either wounded or hiding or both, or caught. Otherwise, she is merely in the magic jam zone and has yet to come back out, either because she’s not finished with her work, she’s currently unable to come out, or she’s taking her sweet time inside. She’s not dead, or the safety gem would turn black regardless of whether or not she’s in a magic jam zone.”

“Is there any way we could find her? You know the magi language fluently.”
“I…” I trail off as I feel the necklace around my neck warming. “I would have to do some research.” Keeping my face as neutral as possible, I stand up. “I will leave first, then.”
“Of course, of course.” He points to a corner of the room. “You can find a teleportation device over there. It will take you to the lift room.”
“Thank you.” I move toward the corner and mouth, . A gem forms in the palm of my hand and I place my hand nonchalantly in my pocket. Reaching the corner, I see a stone in the nook in the wall. Placing a hand on it, I say, . I feel a lurch, and then the room around me dissolves. Then, I open my eyes and I’m in the corner of the lift room—a room full of gems like the one in the nook, with the only difference being that they are labeled with places in the school. Barely anyone is around, and no one spares me a glance. Going to the stone labeled “Library,” I place a hand on it and activate it. After feeling the lurch and seeing the room dissolve yet again, I find myself in front of the library.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Cary Simms: The Fairy Mushroom Forest
From a young age, Cary Simms knew that she wasn't like the other boys her age. She didn't know why or how that was, but it seemed apparent to the bullies of her school. They would often call her names, chase after her after school, and beat her up when they could catch her. Her only protection, besides escape, was in the words of the Good Book. But that was before she stumbled into the supposedly haunted house at the end of her street. When a mysterious ring and a drawing on the back wall of the post office opened up a whole new world for her, things quickly went from weird to scary. At a new school, in a new world, surrounded by people who had access to magic, all Cary could think of was how to escape the witches that had her trapped there. It was only having her best friend by her side that gave her any comfort at all. ***This is my first attempt at a middle grade book, and would appreciate feedback. Please note, this is a second draft, and might not represent the final product.***
