Cultural festival preparation period, in the middle of nowhere.

Currently in the classroom just after Ray left, everyone was working on it.

Sometimes after school, it's already a good time to go home, but I'm not going home as anyone.

The good thing about this class is that the students, the three great nobles and the upstream nobles, were one for both women and men.

Amelia puts together a female student and Albert puts together a male student.

Doing so allows everyone to get together and thus function well.

But this can't just be the case with high ranking nobles in the ordinary class.

After all, at its heart is where everyone admits to being Ray-White.

At the beginning of school, almost everyone was estranged by the common man Ordinary. Normally, it was about Amelia, Elisa and Evie. Even when it comes to bullying confusion, there are no other students to blame than those three.

He said you should know as much as you do.

Even if this Arnold School of Magic is a rare place where magic can be used in the Ordinary, there is no way in the bloodline that it can be fought. That's what I thought.

But the whole class started caring about Ray in a different way, after Albert defeated him with a single hit with Ray.

"Hey. Albert......"

"Leave me alone now..."

……

The friendly boy student I've been with Albert never even found a word to call. That's because I've seen it clearly with these eyes.

Where Ray overwhelms Albert.

That's not about the area where ordinary people say "ordinary" etc. Fighting by high dimensional magicians, which we never get to. Indeed, Albert had a broken talent and strength.

That's why the other boys students were together in such a way that they sold Albert their charm. Because I knew from an early age that blood should not be turned against the nobles above me. Anyone at this age could understand that lineage is what determines a magician's abilities.

But the reality was different.

Ray overwhelms Albert. Besides, even they could understand that Ray wasn't even serious.

I was beginning to wonder who the hell that ordinary person, Ordinary, was.

Such Albert's defeat spread within the College, and there were those who called it a lie or an incredible... but only his classmates felt it.

This ordinary person, Ordinary, is not normal.

And my classmates decided to observe Ray. Even without trying, everyone at about the same time......

"Albert."

"Mr. Allium."

"What, what's wrong?

Period after the on-campus qualifying for Magics Chevalier in the Magic Swordsman Competition and preparing for the main battle. That's where Albert's friends came in. I didn't cut the edge. But Albert spent more time alone than before, and above all changed.

I just became a foolish endeavor, and its face became a tough "sequin" one.

I would be exposed to rumors and feel bad......

And it was them I thought, but not actually.

Albert had accepted it all because it was a fact. And I understood that it would take more effort for an immature self to grow more to reach that height in Ray.

Surely Albert was proud. But it never stays much stupider.

I'm sure Albert wouldn't have grown so far if the shock from Ray had been small.

Even on one scale, Albert understands that he felt the culmination of the sorcerer.

To get there, it's an area where you can never even seem to be proud of your talent and stagnate.

"The Magic Swordsman Competition" Magics Chevalier "appeared... Congratulations"

"Yeah! It's really amazing!

"Right. I knew Albert was pretty strong in the course of the year! Can you beat that Amelia if you do it again?

……

There is joy in being praised in itself.

But Albert kicks such praise.

"I'm still immature. Besides, if Ray's out there, I'm pretty sure he's the winning candidate leader."

"Oh no..."

"But he's in Ordinary..."

"That's right. Allium, it's a coincidence you lost!

"Do you really think so?

"Ugh..."

Albert's gaze became sharp, and the friend he was soliciting was frightened by Albert's sharp gaze.

I knew it. That Ray-White's victory is never a coincidence. That skill as a magician, no. He said his combat skills didn't fit into the student category.

I understand you're not the only one. But emotions refuse to understand it.

Because I still have a heart that insults the average person, the Ordinary.

"But the average person, Ordinary. If that's what you're still thinking, you should change it."

"Ugh..."

"No, that's..."

"But..."

"This isn't what I could have said, but let me tell you something"

Albert stands up and gazes at them.

Those eyes are looking at them, not at them. In his eyes all the time, that look of Ray.

─ ─ As an [Ice Sword Mage].

"Just because you're an ordinary person, Ordinary, doesn't explain why you insult me. He has power. We should know that better than anyone. Let's admit it first. Ray is strong. I'm sure more than anyone else in this college. Once you know that, you should take a look at him."

That's all I'm saying, Albert leaves the classroom. The hindsight looked bigger than before. Of course, some training would have made them physically bigger. But even based on that, Albert looks spiritually big.

Seeing him growing for sure, my friends wonder what to do.

and one of them speaks to Evi, who remained in the classroom.

"Hey, Evie."

"Hmm? What's up?

Same muscle mass. Even if you understand the body to belong to your classmates, it's enough to make you feel bad. Evi is not an Ordinary, if not a nobleman. For this reason, we are in a neutral position in the class.

That's why I was sure to say it was easy to talk to him.

"You were in the room with Ray-White, weren't you? Besides, we seem to be close."

"What. You want to hear about Ray?

"Ah. That's what Albert told me earlier..."

"Right. He's changed, too."

Evie starts talking about Ray when Nica shows her teeth and laughs.

"Ray's a great guy."

"To be specific?

"My muscles are nasty... that's a boulder. I freaked out too..."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"But white is a thin line, isn't it?

All three of us make it a pocan. I can't believe Ray's muscles suck, because I never saw him get out of Evie. I don't understand, such as Evi praising... but still they decided to ask until the end.

"He is, it would be awesome to take it off. The thin type exists, but Ray is different. His body is finished like steel... muscles intended for decadence like mine. Bye... those are muscles for battle. Once you look at Ray's muscles, you'll see. Muscles like that sculpture, half-baked effort. Then you can't have it. You guys already know what Ray's capable of, don't you?

"Well..."

Take a look.

"Yeah......"

We haven't had a chance to find out about Ray until the Ice Sword, but we've witnessed Albert's defeat. Such were beginning to further revamp their perceptions of Ray after hearing from Evi.

"Besides, Ray is the next ace in the Environmental Investigation Department. Just for the record, he's a gold hunter, isn't he?

"Become!?

"Student and Gold Hunter!?

"Seriously... it can't be..."

I can't help but be surprised.

Among hunters, more than gold hunters are recognised as distinct beings. That's a famous story among magicians. Indeed, those who know that the current director of the Department of Environmental Research is a gold hunter at the student stage.

But no way, I never dreamed that Ray was leading up to that gold hunter. And furthermore, the growing question.

Who the hell is that Ordinary?

"There are many people who try to bracket Ray in Ordinary, not just you guys. But hey, just look at a guy named Ray-White once. That way, I'm sure you'll get a lot of money, huh? I'm not saying like anything, don't hate me. I don't think the nobles have a lot of things to do. But Ray is serious and foolish... and above all he's a trustworthy man. You guys, those muscles, you'll see someday."

Evi laughs niggly and leaves.

What do the three left think? No, it wasn't just those three. Almost all the students remaining in the class were listening to the conversation.

I wonder who that Ray-White is.

Take a look at Ray-White itself, not Ordinary, the average person, as Evi said... can you follow that word?

Little by little, my classmates' perceptions were changing without Ray's knowledge.
