"- They can't do that."
Koizumi then truncated Hanoi's proposal.
"What do you mean no... why? Even Saab already knows..."
- He wasn't like that.
In Koizumi's words, Hanoi and other students were carrying question marks.
"Koizumi? What does that mean?
Iida asks.
"He hasn't changed anything since the beginning. I do not think that I have abused Hitachi or that I have cursed him with Ariel."
All the students here were in the guest seat at that time.
- That's why I called Koizumi.
Because I heard Koizumi's heart scream.
But I didn't hear Saab.
Saab is a clever guy.
So that's when I told Koizumi to only hear me.
And that's what I thought there was no one else who trusted Koizumi's words anyway.
"I still do. That's when... that's what they just said. I feel guilty immediately, I don't like the weak ones..."
When Koizumi said so, the scene calmed down.
"The... is that true?
I don't doubt Hanoi, but I told him to make sure.
"Phew... I guess you calculated that far and said it anyway, didn't you? Like I'm the only one who can hear you... you don't trust my word anyway, do you? That's why he told me so grandly."
Hanoi mumbled.
"Fair enough...... now. But let me tell you something, okay? Saab should stop. If you ask him out, I'm out. I don't like it when people poke me in the gap and kill me. I'm telling you, he's probably not like us, is he?
"Different?... What do you mean?
Hanoi was carrying a question mark.
"We've never killed anyone yet, have we? So maybe I can't kill you... you should hesitate just before. But Saab isn't. Maybe he can kill people easily. I might rather wait for a day when I can kill you. Say it's growth, right?
"Did he say that?
"No, it's my feeling? But if you look, you'll see. That's what I feel."
Koizumi had excellent insight and analytical skills.
And he was also highly sensitive.
So the truth is, there was also a weaker side of mentality than anyone else.
"So... what about Kida? Kida would be fine, wouldn't she? He must be sorry for Hitachi."
"- Kida should stop too."
Then there was silence again.
Koizumi glanced at everyone's expression.
"If I'm denying it for my own protection, I don't mind if you think so."
"I'm not... I want to know why"
Hanoi looked calm and replied so.
Koizumi doesn't say he likes it or dislikes it.
But that's what they thought.
"Saab has malice. But Kida didn't mean any harm from the beginning."
"No malice? What is that..."
"From the start, he didn't think he was doing anything wrong. What is the 'bitter laugh' he used to show from time to time for? I had an occasional thought. But to conclude, it means he doesn't even realize it."
Then they were listening to Koizumi, floating further with question marks and tilting their necks.
"He did use Nikko for his parsley, with Saab, didn't he? But I don't feel like I'm abusing you. Well, other than using it for parsley, you didn't do anything, did you?
"But you didn't like Hitachi, did you? So even kill yourself."
"That's why I haven't noticed! Look, you're here, right?! What kind of person doesn't understand other people's feelings? You didn't recognize that you were a stalker, or that you were sexually harassed? So those guys you used to catch were on the news, right?!
Koizumi showed a slight irritation.
"You mean Kida didn't think anything of it?
"... from what I've seen, you look like that. But I'm sure of it. That's what Kida said. So if you're asking me out, you better make it another guy. Because there's nothing worse in nature than not realizing it, right?
We listen to Koizumi's opinions in silence.
Why doesn't anyone say anything back?
That's because I had a few thoughts.
Some of them were uncomfortable.
But that was speechless.
And Koizumi put it into words.
And I thought. That's who this discomfort was.
"Okay...... let's just say that about Saab and Kida, we're on hold"
"Well, I'll take care of it later."
It is Koizumi who leaves it at the end.
In the end, if you're not convinced, you just have to get out.
And the discussion went on for a while.
“Now focus on each thing and enjoy the students".
That's what Hanoi said at the end.

The tournament then began and Saab went on well.
Meanwhile, he also encouraged magical practice and steadily grew under Joanna's guidance.
Kida also beat those who could not win, gradually going up and up and winning the tournament.
Of course, Joanna went up and down to the tournament, winning even further.
In Joanna's case, she was not so surprised because she was in the winning candidate in the first place.
Except for Uncle Saab.
Everyone said, "Who is that?" and acknowledged the power.
And the semifinals.
It's Saab versus Joanna.
"This day is finally here, isn't it? Dear Saeki."
"I'll show you all I can do.“ Doctor? ""
Joanna smiled.
And with the announcement of the start of the game, Saab pulled out his sword and chanted magic.
"[Fire Speed (Fire Wheelo)]!"
Saab accelerated with the magic of fire, poking his sword at him, and approaching Joanna.
――
▽
- Saab lost.
Even though it grew, Joanna was still up there.
But no doubt everyone who was in this venue must have found out about the existence of a single magician named Saab.
And, "He's a great delicacy," he must have acknowledged the power.
Saab then advanced to the third-place deciding match.
And he won brilliantly, and he got a ticket to the school match as a third place frame.
Joanna, meanwhile, made it to the finals and crossed over with one of Fishanatica's most powerful students, Tim Lloyd.
But Joanna's magic didn't reach Tim.
The person named Tim Lloyd was also heterogeneous to Joanna and Saab and had a different dimension.
And the contestants to the counter-school match decided, and the award ceremony was held.
I'm on sandalwood.
Number one, Tim Lloyd.
Second place, Joanna Harris.
And third place is Saab.
These three compete in the main race.
In other words, we will be fighting students in Heilkwestern.
In fact, among the brave men, there were others who had participated.
Hanoi, for example.
But Hanoi lost the second round.
There were a few others out there, but none of them could even pass the qualifying round.
Prepare even the short ones for a year.
Just because someone just learned magic almost a few months ago doesn't mean he can win because of his grace.
As you can see from that, Saab's main battle appearance was very rare.
And it was Oswald Saberhagen who showed up there.
I'm the principal of Phishanatica.
"Students! It was a brilliant fight. Whoever wins or loses, we want them to take advantage of the challenges they have gained in this battle. Then there are three Magic Instructors who will compete in this battle. The Lord awaits your battle against Heirkwalt. We have plenty of time until then. I want you to look back at yourself again for the school match."
Oswald's words were short for the principal.
The brave men were sighing at the long story that was about to begin, but they didn't have to either.
And here, Fishanatica School of Magic and Magic.
- The decisive battle for the delegates came down the curtain.
▽
Saab left the venue alone.
Down the stairs of the venue, and out into a dim hallway in the shade.
Then there was a rare figure there.
"Kyoto?"
"Hmm? What... Uncle Saab"
- Jing Chi Shinya.
Am I supposed to call it bad school dropouts?
Occasionally, he is an unlucky man caught in a cross-world summons the day he attends school in a mood.
"You, where have you been?
Kyoko is basic, I don't know where he is.
I'm not trying to get involved with anyone.
And that's been the case since I was in Grayberg.
Probably somewhere in the school building, there should always be, but Saab couldn't see him either because he wouldn't show up.
"Where... appropriately around there? Like on the roof?
"The roof?
"Yeah, look, there's the tallest tower, right? I was napping over there."
Saab was having trouble reacting.
A tower is the tallest, heavenly tower on this school property.
But the door that leads there is always magically key.
- How did this guy get up there?
Saab was thinking.
"Fair enough. By the way, didn't you join us this time?
"Hmm?... Oh, you mean the counter-school game? You're in, aren't you?
"Well... I didn't see it, but how far did it go?
"Uh-huh, something's always too weak to be fun, so I've been soaking it up along the way. Honestly, there's no one in this school who can cross with me...... Saab? Including you."
"Huh... aren't you telling me?
"Well, it's none of my business, and if Saab's happy with that, why don't you? I don't give a shit about school fights."
Then Kyoko said so and left.
Then Saab was not particularly irritated and went the opposite path to Kyoko in order to join Joanna and the others.
Kyoko was a strange man.
Saab has never seen Kyoko use magic before.
But Kyoko said he was practicing properly before.
But I haven't seen it since.
Conclusion, what does Saab think?
I mean, I don't think he's weak.
Saab felt the creepiness and the obvious strength as he showed his back here, as if it had no gaps.
That's why I dare not say anything to Kyoko.
Being so close meant you were watching the finals?
On top of that, is that what you're saying, "weak” or something?
Honestly, the words just now didn't sound strong.
That's why Saab is so afraid of a man named Kyoko somewhere in his heart that he can't understand it.
And I admit it.
If, after graduation, you join hands with someone, Kida first.
- And he said it was Kyoto.
So much so that I think so.
