After leaving the cafeteria, we headed to the library.
I wasn't sure if the exorcist facility was used year-round, but it still had a dedicated library.
We were heading there because Aya-chan was supposedly working on her summer homework.
"Itsuki-kun, do you know why Aya-san can't use magic anymore?" Shirayuki-sensei asked me.
"…No, I don't. Aya-chan said she doesn't know either," I replied.
"I see…"
"Is this kind of thing common?"
When I asked, Shirayuki-sensei hummed thoughtfully for a moment.
"Losing the ability to use magic is not uncommon. For instance, people who suffer from PTSD—ah, to explain it simply, people who are mentally scarred from fighting 'Ma'—often lose the ability to use magic."
I immediately thought of someone close to me who fit that example. Nina-chan.
"Other cases could be slumps or yips…"
"A slump and yips? What's the difference?"
