03 Tales: Eagles and Lions

Lunch break.

The usually busy classroom was also idle today.

"Looks like everyone's on their way to check on the team."

Sounds like it.

Nodding at Elisia's whining.

Apparently, the Magic Competition Festival is a more exciting event for students than I imagined. Looks more like an event for the future than fun......

Builders School is not the best educational institution in the kingdom to Dada.

The height of the aspirations of the students who belong here is authentic. Especially since there are many nobles among the students of the hero family, it is necessary to show shameless work in the family name at the Magic Competition Festival, where the audience gathers in large numbers. It seems that the heavy pressure has become a great force for action, and the school's practice area was already full of reservations everywhere. Inspired by their movements like that, ordinary students are also motivated.

"The team doesn't split by class, does it?

To Gran's inquiry, Elisia shook her head vertically.

"That's right. So it's possible that we'll be enemies."

"Kee, I'm getting nervous..."

Mize laughs bitterly as she puts her hand on her chest.

Fellow thinkers. She seems to have an aversion to contending in this face.

"Oh, yeah? I'm looking forward to it."

"You're a boulder, Berserker."

"Excuse me. It's just a little more belligerent than people."

It's a Berserker.

I gaze at Elysia with an invincible grin.

"Was the announcement of team splitting a bulletin board on the ground floor? It's about time we were free, and we'll go check it out."

As usual, with Elisia, Mize and Gran, I'm heading to the first floor of the school building.

The location of the bulletin board was immediately known as there was a gathering of students. I crack the hedge by letting Gran, the big one, lead the way, and get to the front of the bulletin board.

Our team split...

"Sounds good, you split up."

Elisia whines as she picks up lunch in the courtyard.

Having chewed the bread from my purchase, I opened my mouth as I remembered the team split I had just confirmed.

"Me and Mize are the Eagles. Elysia and Gran are the Lions."

At the Magic Competition Festival, which will be held in the middle of next month, the students of the first year of the High Ministry will compete in two teams. Each team name seemed to be a hawk group, a lion group.

"Regards, Mr. Tweet"

"Oh."

Me and Mize are on the same team.

Against, Elisia is the same team as Gran.

Before confirming team splitting, Elisia's remarks became a reality.

We will be enemies for about a month from today.

"Looks like we're gonna split up into teams and start practicing after school today, and we're not gonna be together for a while."

"Right.... What about the lunch break?

"About lunch break, this is how I'll see you. The classroom is with us anyway, and if we don't divulge a secret operation or something, we'll have no problem seeing each other like this."

Listening to Elisia's remarks, Mize frequently shook her head vertically.

Mize seems to find the opportunity for the four of us to have lunch invaluable.

So do I. I don't want to alienate the corners, the everyday I get, just because of the event.

Everyone agrees with Elisia.

After school we would be acting separately from team to team, and so might lunch break, but otherwise we would have acted together as much as possible.

"But why is the grouping an eagle and a lion?

"Looks like the old king had an eagle and a lion. It's a manifestation of the philosophy that there is no need to govern heaven or earth."

It was Gran who answered my question.

Next to me hitting the hammer, Elisia also shows interest in "Phew."

"You know more, Gran."

"Before I went to school, I had to look into the Kingdom of Terraria. That's what I learned."

"Heh.... that's a special triumph for a grand."

"What does that mean!

I'm sorry, but I felt the same way about Elisia.

Was Mize the same or softly out of sight?

But - now that I've flushed it, why did Grand find out about the Kingdom of Terraria?

If you were born and raised in this country, you wouldn't have to bother to look into it.

Like Mize, are you from another country?

"Yabe, it's time for your next class"

Look at the clock, Gran says.

He had stopped by the bulletin board, so it had been longer than he thought at some point.

"Fighting the Tweets has been since my entrance exam in the Department of Heroes"

As she walked toward the classroom, Elysia told her so in a small voice.

"I haven't decided which event I'm going to be in yet. It's not like we're gonna fight."

"That's boring. Want to show us which event you're going to be in?

"Doesn't fit"

Why should I be such a hassle?

Elicia narrowed her eyes to me answering the sigh mix.

"... Running away?

"That's a cheap provocation"

Elisia swells her cheeks uncomfortably.

Just in case, I checked my surroundings for ears and eyes, and I slapped Elicia in the ear.

"... your father's revenge has come to a close. Now you don't have to obsess with me."

"That's right..."

Elisia makes it look like she's choosing words.

"... I'm getting an offer from the Knights of Phosphorus."

When I heard that word, I was stuck in a response for a moment.

"Does that mean you're being solicited?

"Yeah. He wants me to join the club when I graduate from school."

The Orthodox Knights held by the Duke of Tergante are prestigious knights backed by fierce meritocracy. He has been gloriously active in the war and is now so popular that he stands alongside the Kingsguard Knights.

It is extremely rare that even the flourishing Knights, from among their students - are also solicited during their first year. On the contrary, it is even possible that Elysia is the first in history. Very admirable and expensive.

"As far as I'm concerned, I wonder if I can respond. But as it is now, it only seems to be my parents' Seven Lights... and most importantly, I'm not sure about myself. I wonder if I could be chosen like this."

"... I don't know what you're thinking of this (...), but Elysia already has the strength to draw a line in the school. You can put your chest up enough."

"I counted on you for everything about Roberto?

I turned away from my gaze.

I don't know what you're talking about.

"Ahhh."

You expected my response, Elisia pointed her lips.

"I feel confident if I beat you."

"That's an annoying feeling."

"Fine, nothing. So promise me one thing, will you?

That said, Elicia turns her body towards me.

"You don't have to show the events that compete. But if you compete in the same event as me - fighting without a clue. All right?

The look on Elisia's face, which I seriously tell you, was slightly stiffer if you look closely.

I guess I'm nervous. I don't affirm or deny it, but apparently, Elysia recognizes me as a person of character. Applying for a contest on top of that is a courageous move.

Peel out sincerity and upliftment, Elysia.

To her like that, I answered.

"Let's do good."

"Admit it's a lie."

Ignore Elysia's gaze.

I don't make promises I might not be able to keep.
