Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

The test results came back. Almark ranks 25th out of 46.

Written exams were fairly successful, but the practical exam scores were still low. The score of the magic practice exam is also quite low.

Nevertheless, there were no remedial subjects.

Almark thought it was a good test for the first time.

It seems that both Morgan and Nelson managed to avoid majoring this time.

Wallis is still number one in this exam. Leila is fourth, Wendy is sixth.

Wendy, unfortunately, thought that if she concentrated on her own study, it would have been higher, but of course Wendy didn't say anything.

Once the stormy exam period is over, the vacation is now over.

The night before the vacation, the dorm was busy with packing students.

Almark was invited by Morgan, who had spared time, to look around the dormitories.

Looking into Norish and Lilty's room, Lilty had already finished packing. Norish brings home a souvenir with her luggage.

"Neither of you seem free."

Norish sweats on her forehead.

"We'll be here from tomorrow."

and Morgan.

"Norish, will your father and mother pick you up?

"My mother is not very strong. Only your father will be here tomorrow."

Norish answers, pointing to two weighty baggage, and tells her father to take it.

"Did your parents pick Lilty up?

Lilty nodded happily at Almark's words.

I love my parents. It will be a pleasure to meet you.

"... why don't you get your parents a new handkerchief?

When he slapped his ear gently, Lilty turned his face bright red and shook his right hand up, but his appearance was somehow delighted.

Be careful, both of you.

And Morgan said, and as they tried to leave the room, they waved their hands to see me off, saying, "I'm not looking forward to a souvenir."

Let's go to Wendy's room next.

and Morgan ran down the hallway singing a nose song. Almark also chases after him.

A group of roommates opened the door, and when the two of them came out, Wendy turned around and just finished packing.

What's wrong with you both?

"I'll check the dormitory as a representative of the group."

"What is that?"

Wendy smiles. Almark realized that Wendy's luggage wasn't as large as Norish's.

"You don't have that much luggage."

"Ahh....."

Wendy nods to Wendy that most things are at home.

"Who's coming to pick you up tomorrow?

and Morgan.

"The letter said that the butler Ward was coming, but... things are going to change pretty soon."

"Yes, it is."

"I'll write to both of you as soon as I get to Garentle. Check our schedule and let us know when you'll be okay to come."

"Yeah, absolutely!

and Morgan. Listening to that, the roommate's girl makes a jealous voice.

"Um, are you going to Wendy's house? Okay, I want to go too!

"What are you talking about, Colour? You're going home."

Wendy says the girl, called Colour, shook her head.

"My house is a country nobleman in Foretta. Garento's Bar Herb Mansion... I went there too."

That said, hah, sigh.

"No, no, this is a privilege only given to lonely kids like me and Almark who don't have anywhere to pick them up or go home. Anyone who can go home, please go home."

Morgan is good at saying sad things.

"Look, Almark."

Ah, ahh

Almark nodded helplessly as he shook himself.

Er, the two of you leave the room with a color that sharpens your mouth with dissatisfaction on your ass.

"Well, I'll be waiting for your letter, Wendy."

Morgan says, both of us wave. Yeah, and Wendy nods.

"Where are we going next?"

Morgan is gaining momentum. Walk slowly down the hallway.

And Wendy stopped Almark, who was going behind Morgan.

"Almark"

Hmm?

Almark turned around.

"What?

"You know...."

"Yeah."

I think I'll be out of here by noon tomorrow.

"Yeah?"

I don't know what Wendy is saying and nod for now.

Wendy somehow blushed and fell on her face.

"I won't be seeing you for a while... I can't believe you wanted me to drop you off..."

"Huh? Ah, yeah. Sure, sure, I'll go."

Almark nodded unexpectedly and Wendy raised her face.

"Really? Great!

The smile was unexpectedly illuminated by Almark, and Morgan's voice followed him from across the hall.

"Almark! What are you doing? Let's go to Nelson's next!

In reply, Almark waves to Wendy.

See you tomorrow.

"Yeah."

Wendy dropped me off until Almark disappeared.

Nelson is packing his luggage with a sword to practice martial arts even after returning home for a martial arts tournament that will be held after his vacation.

It's my first martial arts tournament! I can't beat other classes!

Looks like it's a lot of tension.

"Who's going to pick Nelson up?

"Mom's coming. It's been a long time, so I'm looking forward to it.... Whoa"

Nelson said, and looked at the two faces and licked his mouth.

"I'm sorry, you two couldn't go home."

"Oh, that's okay. Because we have fun. Hey, Al Mark."

Ah, yeah.

Speaking of which, you're going to Wendy's mansion. I'm sorry about the noble mansion because I only care. Well, it's been almost two months, so it might be nice to do that sometimes. I'll write to you when I get there. "

"Yeah, I'll be waiting."

Morgan answers.

"Almark's never been on vacation before."

and Nelson.

"We have a lot of pickups coming to school tomorrow. It's quite spectacular."

It seems that the pickups will arrive on the island by boat tomorrow morning. Some of you have already arrived in Nork Island and are staying in a city lodging.

Heh.

That's how Almark looked out the window. Far beyond, you can see the lights of the city of Nork.

It's been a long time since I got on a boat and got off to the harbor of that city.

Ah, Almark found a light running through the garden.

Is it a lamp or a magic lamp? It's far away, I don't know, but it seems to be heading slowly towards the main gate.

Who is it at night like this?

While thinking so, Almark quickly forgot about the lamp when Morgan spoke to him from behind.
