Zap, who was called by his name, turned around with a frowning face.

"Oh, Almark."

That's what I'm saying, and I'm gonna walk out on my face again.

Almark walked side-by-side next to him, looking at Zap's side.

Because it is dark, I don't even know if my complexion is good or bad, but obviously I don't have the high spirits in my expression.

Zap, who walked so vigorously to the end during the evening herbal hunt, is now walking like a tired old man.

"Zap"

Almark called out again.

"I'm not feeling very well. Something wrong?"

Zap glanced up at Almark.

"Almark would know how I feel."

Zap looks at his feet again and says so.

"I don't need you to understand anything else."

"Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Just tell me."

Almark tries to make a lively voice.

"Maybe we can help."

That's right.

With a little uncomfortable voice, Zap started talking.

"Well, anyway, do it again. You mean you're in a hurry."

Zap said.

"It's a time like this, and I don't know what to do about it."

Ah.

Almark nodded.

"I know how you feel. Me, too."

And Al Mark.

Zap looked surprised.

"Do you know how I feel?"

"You'll see. That's exactly what I was feeling right now."

Almark sighs.

"I had to do something, but I was in a hurry."

"That's right. Is that so, Almark?"

Zap looked surprised.

"I thought Almark was more grand."

"I don't think so."

Almark shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I can't afford it. I was worried about when I'd be left alone."

"Almark left it behind."

Zap rounds his eyes more and more.

"I don't think so, just for Almark."

"Why?"

Almark laughs.

"I've been here less than a year. I don't feel confident."

Oh, I see.

Zap nodded convincingly.

"Is Almark here shorter than everyone else?"

Ah.

I see. Then you'll be worried. "

Zap said.

"Well, Almark is one of mine."

That's right.

Almark smiles.

At this time, it is not only third-grade students who suffer from exam measures.

Eldo, Sicily's first-year students, Zap, Fita, and Radmar's second-year students will unreservedly re-examine their efforts throughout the year as they prepare for the exam.

I wish I'd been prepared sooner, before I had all the knowledge I didn't have or the technology I didn't have, but I was halfway there.

However, let's start the test study of the baked blade now, neither knowledge nor technology will be yours overnight.

As a result, you will become anxious and more frustrated.

"I was told by Professor Ilmis to leave early today."

Almark said.

"I can't concentrate, so I can't practice magic for a while."

"No magic practice."

Zap repeats.

"That's not going to be an exam study."

"Yes, it is."

Almark sighs.

"But the teacher said it was better."

"But that might be true."

Zap nodded tired.

"Magic requires concentration. I can't concentrate in this state either."

You, too.

Almark saw Zap's face.

"I can tell by the look on your face. I don't have the usual dominance."

Oh, the sorcery festival was fun.

Zap spills.

"It was good."

"That's right. Magic Festival was fun."

Almark nodded.

There was a lot of trouble when Rhinel came.

Still, we can all play together and dance at the festival later in the night.

That was fun.

"Zap, you're right."

Almark said.

"Magic Festival was fun."

But...

"But I can't help thinking about what just happened. I have to think about what's going to happen."

"From now on"

Zap looks anxious.

"Actually, I don't really want to think about it. I don't know what's gonna happen."

"Well, that might be true."

But don't look away.

About the upcoming exams, about the future.

"I don't know if my efforts will be rewarded, but I'm sure I'll have to do what I can."

Almark said.

"That way, it's going to get a little bit clearer and more confident."

That's what Almark is saying, but he's still not in such a state.

Speaking to Zap, I somehow felt like I saw something at the front of the jaw.

"Do what you can,"

Zap nods.

"That's right. I can't help thinking about it all alone."

The expression regained a little brightness.

That's right.

Almark nodded.

"But I'm a little happy to know that even a healthy kid like you feels the same way as me."

Almark slapped Zap on the shoulder.

"Turn around. Let's work together."

"... yeah"

Zap nodded and smiled a little.

"I'm relieved, too. I can't believe Almark felt the same way."

Say that and look at Almark's face.

"So, who's Almark dealing with?"

Hmm?

Almark saw Zap.

"What?

That's why I'm dealing with Almark.

That's what Zap said.

"Who do you think you're doing so much thinking about?"

Huh?

Almark blinks.

"Hold on a second. Uh, Zap. What is the cause of your weakness?"

"From the night herb hunt."

Zap sharpened his mouth.

"Until then, I had no idea. I can't help thinking about it."

Next to Almark, who lost his word, Zap said shyly.

About Fita.

I can't help worrying about Fita.

In that language, Almark realizes that the conversation with Zap just now seemed to have taken place and that they were actually talking about something different.

Without realizing Almark's upset, Zap kept talking shyly.

"We talked a lot at the sorcery festival, and it was fun. But lately, Pheta seems to be seeing someone after school. I was worried about it, and I couldn't study even before the exam, and it was almost time to change classes. I thought it might be a separation."

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Almark nodded in agitation.

"I'm sorry, I know."

Oh, wasn't Al Mark different?

Looking up at Zap's Almark, his eyes shook slightly sadly.

"What, I'm the only one who thinks like this?"

"No, Zap."

Almark grabbed Zap's shoulder.

"It's true that I don't specialize in this kind of story."

After saying something like someone said before, Almark put his weight to the words that he wanted to push Zap.

"But I'll talk to you. Could you tell me a little more about it?"
