Chapter Twenty-One of the fourth volume of the Witch Hat Atelier manga series.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Inside the cave, the apprentices wonder how to cross the gap in the winding path without being pulled into the depths of the cave. Richeh finds a solution first; using her signature ribbon spell to stretch the stones and her Sylph Shoes, she flies across with ease. Then, Agott crosses using Seals of Recreation and Repetition to recreate the stones as she walks across. Euini struggles to draw a helpful spell due to his fear of casting in front of other people. He revealed that he drew helpful spells in advance to avoid this issue, but since he didn't expect the gap to be cut off, he thinks of his prepared spells as useless and begins to cry. But, Richeh gives him words of encouragement, telling him to find his own way to cast without anyone around to see him using magic. Euini then hides under his Mirror Cloak and examines the glyphs on it. He modifies the glyphs, erasing the parts that would allow him to mirror the animal reflected on his scales and changed it to an Umbral Illusion, which allows him to blend in with the darkness and draw without fear. He uses a similar spell as Richeh to fly across the gap, and Alaira follows using ice magic to create a path she can easily walk across.
As they walk, they chat about overcoming their fears, and the awful feeling of wanting to do something you can't. Alaira talks about how tests are meant for learning about themselves, and how the solution to one path is different for each individual. Richeh mentions how she still won't forgive Qifrey for lying about her taking this test, and Alaira seems to have some thoughts on Qifrey recently. But before she can fully voice her thoughts, a figure suddenly appears behind her. A floating cloak and brimmed hat begins to envelope her in darkness, much to the surprise of the kids. Alaira shields them as she takes her hat off and sends it flying out of the cave, both actions using her wind magic. She cautions the terrified Agott, Euini, and Richeh not to be deceived by the Brimmed Caps, and to run. She is once again cut off as she's teleported away, just as she had began to mention Forbidden Magic.
