I was in the middle of a class as usual.

I haven't been able to use magic well since last year.Because I consumed most of my magic space to contain the sequelae of Magic Area Runaway "Overheat" myself.

In addition, there was a constraint with the Master, so even if I could temporarily release it, I could use magic quite satisfactorily... I thought so, but now I'm in pretty good shape.

It's not completely healed, but the Magic Realm Runaway "Overheat" is healing indefinitely.And in today's lesson, I think I was able to use good magic to be so thin with Amelia.

"Ray, you look good."

"Amelia"

I'm practicing magic in an exercise hall right now.I'm going to do some magic, which is a challenge, but Amelia and I ended up pretty quickly.

I see. Maybe I'm feeling better than I thought. "

"Then I guess we'll get out of here this year.

Are you talking about Magics Schwarzenegger?

"Yeah. We're in the second grade, so we can't go to the rookie game, but I think Ray can try the real game."

"I see... I guess so."

Magics Chevalier is coming soon.The on-campus qualifiers to decide on the leading athletes have not yet begun, but rumors have already been heard in the academy.Who leaves this year and who wins.

The winner of last year's rookie match was Amelia, and the battle was Lucas-Fort.

If I were to go to war, it would be very likely that I would fight Amelia, Ariane, Lucas Forst.Remember what Lucas, the wizard of the sword, told me at the end of last year's Magics Chevalier.

He said he wanted to fight me.You would never want to kill each other and decide on superiority or inferiority, but only within the rules of the tournament.

But I see. Do I have such a choice?

"Ray, are you leaving this year?

"Albert"

Albert also appears to have finished his assignment and is coming to us.

I see. Maybe he'll come out. "

"I look forward to that.Of course, I will compete again this year.I was defeated by Ariane-Orgren last year, but this year I will try to win.And I want to fight Ray again. "

"Albert, yes, I want to fight again."

The words that came out were purely for thought.Albert and I fought last year during the Grey teaching incident, followed by Magiks War, a massive magic battle.Albert, who met just a year ago, assumed that everything was determined by lineage and that talent was everything in the world.

However, Albert is already one of the best sorcerers in the school, looking at himself again from scratch.I know that he is regarded as a talented man after Amelia.

"Ray, me too."

"Amelia"

"I want to fight Ray, too.I couldn't win last year without your support.But that's why Ray can go to the front stage a little bit... and of course, I can't lose when I'm fighting!

It's not just Albert.Amelia would say that to me again.Well... let's try it this year.Magic Swordsman Competition "Magics Chevalier".

"Speaking of which, isn't Ray's sister coming out?

Albert asks, but I haven't heard Stella attend the Magics Chevalier.Most of the time, I've only heard about it at the academy.I don't particularly talk about upcoming events.

However, when Stella comes out, the odds of winning are quite high.Rather, he must have made a pretty good mark in the real battle.

"I didn't hear that, but I did.I think Stella's going to be on a pretty good line. "

"I've heard about Stella... is that true?

"It's true. Stella is as good as me in melee combat.Of course, as long as it's a comprehensive magic battle, it's not student-level in terms of physical combat skills alone. "

"Ah... ahaha... you're so cute and so small, but you can't stand it anymore..."

"Stella is educated by me and my mentor, and because of her honest character, she can work foolishly.Naturally. "

"Yes, yes. I don't want Ray's Cisco."

And, it's lightly decorated.

Class is over while we're talking.We went back to the school building.

Still, the Magics Schwarzler competition?Perhaps you should talk to your master about this.In the meantime, it would be better to keep the confirmation.

So after school, I went to my master.

Dr. Einsworth.

"Hmm? Oh. Ray.What's the matter, change that? "

"Because I have eyes around me."

"Oops... that's right.So, you want to talk?

"Yes"

Then why don't we use it in the dean's office?

"I understand."

Go to the dean's office with the master you met in the hallway.Without knocking, Master opens the door happily and enters the room.

"Hey, Lydia. I've told you many times, don't come in without knocking.Besides, this isn't your room. "

"Ray wants to talk to you today."

"Ray?

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"If so, say so."

Abby got ready for tea because he said he was going to get up.Apparently Abby listened to me, and there was tea for three at the table.

"So, what happened?

Master said so after drinking tea at once.Next door, Abby looked at his master, but he didn't seem to care at all.

"Magics Chevalier, the Magic Swordsman Games."

"Ah, you can leave if you want to."

"Eh... okay?

"That's fine.Hey, Abby. "

I see. I don't think so, either.There are quite a few students here.Even Ray won't win easily. "

I was surprised.

No, I didn't decide to disagree separately, but was it right to applaud because I was allowed to do so lightly?

"But don't take it so seriously.You can use the ice sword, but you don't have the Ice Seal "Pandora"?

"Of course. Now... I think I'll try it out this year."

"Ah, it's important to remember my school days.However, I won four consecutive championships of Magics Chevalier at the Magic Swordsman Competition, but I'm afraid Ray can't do that. "

"Ha ha ha. That's right.Isn't Stella going to be the fourth in a row?

"Stella... that's probably good enough for him..."

So Abby said, "Ah..." as if she remembered.

"Lydia, did you tell Stella and Hoskins to duel?

"Oh, is that bad?It's not unusual. "

"Hah... I should have told you before.The House of Hoskins is gaining considerable strength among the upper aristocracy.Should I have been careful not to waste my pride... "

"That's fine.It's not about my education because I'm noble. "

"Well, it's my responsibility to hire you there.In the future, think a little more about the student's situation. "

Yes, yes.

Yes, just once.

Yes, sir.

I miss seeing those two interactions.I was kind of glad to see the people we were fighting together in the same unit laughing at the same academy.

It's not just me.Because Master and Abby have been hurt a lot, I feel impressed even if they talk normally like this.

"Now, if you'll excuse me."

"Oh, Ray, good luck."

Yes, Master.

Stand up and open the door.Then there was Carol, with a faint face, with a strange look.

"Ah, ahaha!I didn't mean to eavesdrop.It's not a good time! You know what?

"It's okay.I'm sure Carol heard about it, but I'm going to the Magics Chevalier this year. "

I see. Good luck, Ray. "

Ah.

Carol looked at me seriously and supported me.

That's why I went back to school.
