What makes you so obsessed with that student?

I'm not going to hide anything from my friend Philbs. Carlisle began to speak even in her own mind.

"Originally, other people were supposed to go to the college audit."

"Hmm?"

"But as a result of the stargazing - I saw signs of 'great potential' appearing over there. So I tweaked it so I could go."

"That's a big possibility... is that him?

"Maybe. I happened to take his magic arrow... it was unusually powerful. This is because my hard protection is about to smash. I rushed to deploy additional diamond protection - and still couldn't kill the power, so I slammed it to the ground."

Carlisle softly raised her right hand.

"My right hand has been paralyzed for a while by so much power."

"Can't even your defensive magic kill you? It's unbelievable."

"Shall we tell him more incredible stories?

"Dude, there's still more to it?

"I wouldn't highly recommend that much just for a slightly stronger magic arrow. Examiner said that that magic arrow is not normal, that there is suspicion of fraud. I thought so, too. Otherwise, I don't understand that power. That's why I snuck up on him for magic. The kind who analyzes his witchcraft and informs me."

"Well, so?

"Second practical exam. What do you think the magic he used?

"Second? It's definitely a demon, isn't it? Dispel magic, right? It's an exam."

Carlisle shook her head.

Magic Arrow.

"What?"

"What Alberto used in the second practice exam was a magic arrow. I never use any other sorcery."

"No, wait. That's what you read earlier. You said the demon was successful."

"Yes."

"What do you mean... uh, that Alberto guy dispelled with a magic arrow?

"Yes, you will."

"Impossible!

Philbs said that and laughed out loud.

Carlisle wanted to think so, too. It is such a shock that, if it is true, the magic theory built up by mankind is turned upside down.

"Isn't that some kind of mistake, Carlisle... no, is magic ever going to make you wrong"

"... so I wanted to keep him under control. It would be easy to observe if you enrolled in school...... hey Philbs, a college teacher?

Philbs shrugged his shoulder.

"... is that my job after all?

"Absolutely. I look forward to investigating and reporting on Alberto, the mysterious student."

"Oh, already! Push me!

Philbs waves his arms and screams. But that face wasn't even pale.

"I'm interested in hearing about that, too."

"Nice to meet you."

Carlisle went on like this with a gloomy look and voice.

"Peaceful times don't last that long. The hands of darkness extend all over the kingdom. Alberto - I hope he's a star of hope to save it..."

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Result announcement date, same day -

I took over Magic Arrow again and came to King's Capital. When I joined Laura, I headed to the main entrance of the School of Magic.

"I haven't felt alive in the last three days... I thought you'd fallen..."

Laura, who feels a little naughty, says that.

"How was Mr. Alberto?

"I don't care"

"Ordinary mind is amazing!?

"It's not like that..."

I'm the same person who was twitching. But I know how to be emotional in that case.

Read even magic books.

Of course, even a magic arrow page. Over and over again.

I feel like I have gained a better understanding of Magic Arrow once again thanks to it.

I finally see the main entrance.

"Ugh... my stomach hurts..."

Laura's voice.

There is a place in the distance where the student-like people hang out, and they have their eyes on the large wooden planks built there - the paper pasted there.

A boy who is quietly nagging, a girl who is happy with her hands up......

I guess there's a result there that tells the fate.

Eventually...

We came all the way to the front of the board.

Laura was the first to raise her voice.

"There it is! There it is! Number 390! And number 389! I got it! I got it!

Seeing who Laura pointed to, that number did line up.

389 is me, 390 is Laura.

I exhaled more.

Apparently, I managed to slip in. In the first practical technique, I was ketched, and the second practical technique was on the verge of being timed up... the notes, at best, would be about normal.

Well done. That's what I got.

"Mr. Village Chief, Grandpa, Grandma, Mother, Father, Brother and Sister, everyone in the village. Ahhhhh! Laura, I did it. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Laura seemed really happy.

"You thank the whole village, don't you?

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm so excited..."

Laura blushes in embarrassment.

"No, fine. Did you take such good care of him?

"Yes, everyone is there for me... I said good luck sending my money all over the village! So we want to live up to everyone's expectations!

"That's a good thing."

"Yes! And - of course, Mr. Alberto, thank you so much!

That said, Pepper and Laura bow their heads.

"Huh? Why?

"If Mr. Alberto hadn't embraced me - if he hadn't delivered me to the King's Capital - I would have been disqualified before I took the exam. Thanks to Mr. Alberto for this pass!

"No... that's what they say."

"Really! Really! Thanks!

"... I appreciate Laura, too."

"Really?

"Oh. I don't know what... let's just try again, that's what I thought. If I hadn't found you then, I would still have lived quietly in that house."

Laura chuckled.

"I'm glad you said that. If the meeting between me and Mr. Alberto makes sense - it's wonderful!

"Really."

I saw the enchantment school building.

Until now, I couldn't face the school building. Not now.

Because I decided to try again.

Because I swore I wouldn't run away this time.

Though I still have heartache. Though failure ten years ago is still bitter and lingering on my chest.

Still, I looked directly at the school building with one of them. I could see it.

I challenge the limits of a magic arrow here. Let me prove to you that the miracle you glimpse is not a miracle.

"Mr. Alberto."

Laura, fluttered and cheeky, offers her hand.

"Thank you as a friend to learn in the same school from now on!

"Oh, welcome"

When I said that, I held Laura's hand back firmly.
