Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The practical test ended with everyone passing. There was nothing written on the waltz part of the score entry form that High Speer had, but it still seemed to pass.

This was followed by an interview. The examiner in charge continues to be High Speer, located in the lecture building next to the clock tower. Two of the rooms are examination halls.

One of the two rooms is a waiting room. And the other is the room where we actually do the interviews. High Speer calls one by one to the private room to proceed with the interview, just as he did with the practical exam.

Incidentally, the chances of falling are zero. At the end of the practical test, Lucia was furious with Teresa's Spiritual Magic (Cheat) and urged everyone to pass. At this point, it can be said that the likelihood of a waltz not taking a practical test dropping is now zero. Well, it's a different story whether the prudent girlfriend will be relieved by that.

However, for the time being, it seems that the interview test will be conducted in a format only. Among them, the first called Asteria seemed to be under tremendous tension, moving like a broken robot. She didn't know much about Teresa's spiritual magic, and she didn't know whether to take the interview test or not.

And most of all, there was something she didn't fundamentally understand.

"(Mensetsu test... what are you doing?)"

She had no idea who the interview was and what she was going to do with High Speer. For her, who has lived as a slave until now, there is no academic or interview relationship. The interview was a completely unknown and first experience.

Asteria, who was to face each other one-on-one with Highspear, was nervous and awaited Highspear's statement. All I was told when I entered the room was that I was instructed to sit in a chair. Over time, the tension in the Asteria increases.

Ten seconds have passed since the start of the interview, 30 seconds have passed, one minute has passed, and five minutes have passed... However, Highspear does not always try to talk. It just seemed to be twitching and fluttering.

Too much to go that far, even Asteria, who had never been interviewed, seemed to think it was a little strange. Ten minutes later, Asteria asked.

Um... Hi Spear Sensei? Isn't the Mensetz test starting yet?

Then, Hi Speer replied unexpectedly.

“Yes, the interview is over. Next... please call Teresa-san."

"Hah, hah..."

Is the interview just a sitting word...? "Or perhaps High Spear just went crazy..." Asteria, who did not know that High Spear was under the influence of Spirit Magic, decided to call on Theresa, the next examiner, while tilting her neck strangely.

◇

That's how four interviews end. Is it because everyone but Teresa had a disagreeable expression on their faces? After all, they had doubts about Hi Speer's silence for 10 minutes.

And that silent ten-minute period of extreme tension with the Asteria (?), it seems to have been a stressful time. Of course, waltzes are no exception.

"I can't do it anymore... I don't want to do another interview or anything..."

For Waltz, who had zero communication skills, it seemed that she had been tortured for the first time for 10 minutes, which could not be called mental torture. She looked terribly embarrassed and pushed herself to the desk in the waiting room.

Lucia turned to her sister and said with a smile on her face.

Are we going to be students now?

"... yes. I'm sure you can pass (as long as nothing unexpected happens)."

You did it! Teresa and Asteria!

Y-Yes!

And to Lucia and Asteria, who seemed happy, Teresa turned to her usual eyes and advised her.

"But if nothing happens, why?"

"Hey, Teresa-chan? Why are you saying such a bad thing at this time?"

"(I'm glad I didn't have to say anything extra...)"

And Waltz was relieved to recall what he said —— right after that.

DOGOOOOOO!!

There was a loud noise coming from the direction of the main entrance to the college.
