The halls in the Sage Raufid Magus Academy were filled with a special redirectional magic.
It was a type of magic that could mentally control a person to move about the school without fear of getting lost and the like. It could also be modified into a magic that forces people to move away from a spot or zone, or to go to a specific zone, like the students' rooms and dorms themselves. This allowed rules and the like to be set - Students were not allowed to venture into the halls after curfew, and male students were not allowed to go towards the female bathrooms, and so on.
(恒定! Constant status - Self!)
And now it no longer affected Katachi.
Sneaking out of his room quietly, Katachi scurried towards the library at the same pace as he had left the room.
Because the magic was no longer affecting him, Katachi was allowed free movement in the school. But, being immune meant that he had to find the library via his own effort, which required actual memory work.
Katachi was not made for that memory work.
(I sort of remember it being up the stairs or something...? I went up, up, left, down, or... Wait, where is this?)
And so Katachi spent 20 minutes walking around the school cluelessly.

Halfway on a blind search, Katachi stumbled upon a rather interesting scene.
There was a boy and girl sitting on one of the benches in the halls. Noticing them, he quickly hid behind a pillar, camouflaged by its shadows well.
K : (This shouldn't been possible - The curfew should be in effect! Who are those two?)
"This is so romantic! I've never done this before...What if we get found out?"
D : "Shh, shh, we won't get busted. I promise."
K : (!!! ... Dante? What's he doing out here?)
Peeking around the corner, Katachi saw Dante and the girl undressing themselves.
K : (... ! They haven't noticed me yet?... I am so glad I went barefooted instead of wearing my usual wooden sabots...)
In their hands appears to be some sort of wooden tag, that has 方針 carved onto it. As they attempted to undress themselves, they made sure to hold onto the tag tightly.
K : (... I don't know what the words on that tag means, but whatever it is, it must be responsible for letting them stay out here without being affected by the magic. They're clutching it tightly, so does it block the magic or something?)
D : "Show me that beautiful ass, Sherayal. I wanna see it reflect the moonlight into my eyes."
The girl proceeded to hook the panties with her pinkies, and slip her underwear off.
K : (That Sherayal girl is undressing? For Dante? What could anyone possibly see in him-... Wait, this is no time to be worrying about something like this!...)
Patiently, Katachi awaited for the two of them to drop their guard fully. As they got to the primed position of inserting their respective genitals...
K : (... ! Chance! 固定! Fixate position - Sherayal! Fixate position - Dante!)
A golden word formed on the girl's stomach and Dante's bare back.
K : (... Good! They can't move at all...)
Waiting for a few seconds to ensure that they really couldn't move, Katachi sneaked up behind them. They were both facing the same direction, so it was easy enough to do it unnoticed. Forcing the wooden tags to slip from the girl's hands was easy since she held it with three fingers, but Dante's gripping position was rather strong, so a little more effort was needed to take the tag out of his immobilized hand.
Keeping himself as silent as possible, Katachi made sure they could not see him at all, and left.
K : (... You two stay there. Whatever you did, or was about to do, is definitely not part of the school rules... I think.)
Hiding back to the same corner, Katachi made final preparations.
K : (Anyone can see those words if I just leave them on the stomach and back. I should hide them as well... 固定! Fixate position - Sherayal! Fixate position - Dante!)
The words on her stomach and his back faded off, and reformed around their ankles, where their own garments were hiding the words.
K : (Much better. Now, which way is it to the library...?)
*** ***
While walking aimlessly, Katachi observed the wooden tags he had just received.
(There are a lot of strange characters that look to be of an Anikan origin, and I can't seem to understand them at all... If only there was some sort of dictionary, or something... Ow!)
Katachi had walked right into a wall.
Having no redirectional magic to assist him meant there was no way to guide him to walk properly, and to avoid any obstacles, including walls. It was normal for inattentive students like Katachi to collide themselves against such obstacles.
K : "Ahahahaha... Huh?"
Rubbing and massaging his head, Katachi looked up, to see the Library entrance to his right.
K : (... I found it. What luck.)
Katachi headed into the library with haste.
K : (The Anik history section... It should be here.)
*** ***
Following the exact same route he took to the library, Katachi reached the junction where Dante and the Sherayal girl was.
Standing there, observing them, was a peculiar green-loving principal wearing a crisp green tuxedo and matching pants, with white gloves and a slime hat.
K : (...!!! Bertund?! But... It's not even 5am!)
B : "I've had reports from teachers that their tags went missing. You know, I wouldn't find it surprising if you were behind it, Dante, but of all people to do it with, it was you, Sherayal?"
The principal shook his head. While doing so, the funny slime top hat he was wearing swayed along with his head's inertia.
B : "... It pains my heart to know that even a marvellous student like you can be shaken by bestiality. You two should know clearly the consequences for illicit sexual relations and activities in school. Thievery, violation of curfew and illicit sexual activity... That's three strikes in one convenient package."
The principal's right glove glowed yellow, and the slime top hat changed its shape to a viscous wizard hat with a crooked top.
What Bertund did next had been simple.
He patted the magic circles on the left arms of both Dante and Sherayal with his glowing right hand.
The magic circles on their arms glowed yellow, and faded off. Dante and Sherayal froze there, still unable to move.
K : (... Oh, right! The words are still on them...)
The words on their ankles wore off silently.
D : "Huh? What... What happened? I couldn't move at all?"
S : "D-D-Dante, look at what you've done! I'm expelled now! You liar, you had better take responsibility for this!!!"
B : "You two, come with me. Right now."
Bertund signaled the two stude-... ex-students to his side, and stormed off.
The two, dressing themselves hastily to cover their revealing parts, quickly followed the principal.
K : (... That was close. Bertund didn't seemed to have noticed me.)
Katachi sighed in relief as the three turned a corner.
K : (That was really cool, though. His hat can actually change its shape like that...)
Satisfied with that night's outcome, Katachi rested on the bench Dante was at, and waited for the 5am chime. He placed the tags still with him onto the bench, in false pretense that the two left it on the benches accidentally.
The curfew would be lifted for students to prepare and dress themselves up at 5am. If he can avoid being detected for that long, he could pretend that he just woke up and was heading towards the bath to wash up.
Just a few minutes later, the bell rang. It's 5am now - Katachi was officially safe to be outside, and no teacher could accuse him for defying curfew.
Removing the Word of Power hidden on his chest, Katachi headed for a nearby bathroom naturally, as if nothing of the sort happened.
