Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 264 - Preconception of Turbulence from the Admission Ceremony
The entrance ceremony is generally carried out without any problems.
Forty freshmen and thirteen teachers and principals gathered in the large auditorium. No guests or guardians. It's smaller than I thought.
Schoolchildren don't attend either. It seems that some students have not returned to their hometown since they have been on holiday until today. In a country with an underdeveloped transportation network, it is not uncommon for the itinerary to last a few days or so.
Maybe some people are involved in accidents and incidents. I was caught in a landslide or attacked by bandits and monsters. This country is still full of dangers.
At the entrance ceremony, I was to attend alongside the school.
It seems that it would be better for the teacher to consider his position because it would float alongside either the student or the teacher. After all, I became a royal mage and was the leader of the Frontier House. It's not a strange title even if the guest delegate reads the congratulations. I don't have guests.
"--Finally, I'm Dr. Beat = Face, who will be in charge of magic this year. The teacher is younger than you, but he is already an excellent royal mage. This time, at the direct request of His Majesty the King, I was appointed as a magic teacher at this school. In addition, as a special case, we will become alumni who will study side by side with you this year. Please be respectful of each other's positions and interact with each other in a moderate manner."
Step forward to coincide with the school principal's introduction, and return with a light rehearsal. I'll be the last to introduce the teacher.
A royal wizard? You're younger than us, aren't you? "
"Are you a student learning shoulder to shoulder?" Are you a teacher? "
There is a bit of mumbling among newcomers. Well, there's a teacher who's a little younger than us. Moreover, I don't understand the meaning of being an alumni. It doesn't help to be puzzled.
"Beat = Face... is the semi-winner of the martial arts tournament!? [Beat of the Headhunting Mouse (Vaud Parrat)]!?"
Do you know that, Biden?
"He is the semi-winner of last year's Crown Prince's birthday martial arts tournament!" [Whirlwind Dante] 's beloved disciple! A brilliant adventurer who has reached ten stars in the fastest time in service! "
"You're a bursting militant, aren't you?" That's why you're a royal wizard and a teacher of magic. "
Huh?
The noisiness grows among the students. Looks like there was a student who knew me. I heard you were watching last year's martial arts tournament. Is it possible to be a child of a nobleman who filled the royal capital? It was a big day, wasn't it?
Well, I can't believe the two names of the hunting rats have spread to the capital... I can't wait to get anywhere. Rats are difficult to get rid of.
"Ladies and gentlemen, be quiet! After this, we will be contacted about future plans for each session. We need to get to the waiting room immediately. Now, we will conclude this year's enrollment ceremony! I wish you all the best in your school life!"
The entrance ceremony was concluded by the closing remarks of the principal.
Will my school life begin now? [M]
◇
My class is in pairs. It was a class of twenty-one people.
Forty-one new students this year and two classes. Twenty people in pairs.
In fact, there were two classes of 20 people, and there were plans for a total of 40 people, but it seemed that there were more than one person in the group because I had decided to enroll quickly.
The group consists of relatively senior nobles, children of their families, and children of large chambers of commerce. It's called a selection class.
In addition to the two groups, children from the Viscount family who are not very wealthy, children from the Baron family, and children from merchants who are not very deeply involved with the nobility are gathered.
This division of classes doesn't really make much sense in class. Because classes are optional, and one or two groups can take the same class.
For example, since my magic classes are only available to aristocrats, while the children of aristocrats are studying magic, the children of merchants take arithmetic and language classes.
In addition, while boys are learning martial arts, girls learn embroidery. Of course, even girls can learn martial arts, but there aren't many of them. Jasmine's sister and Christela are exceptions.
Then why do we divide the classes? To deepen the ties between the nobility and the merchants, or between the nobility and the merchants. Not for study, but for future territorial management.
In the first place, the very significance of the existence of the school is there. If the connections between aristocrats and merchants are smooth, I think that the management of the state will also proceed smoothly. Study is second. It is completely different from Japan.
So, when I went to the waiting room of the selection class, there was already a faction. A waiting room is a classroom. However, the class itself is conducted by moving to a classroom specializing in lectures, so it is only a room for waiting and preparing.
When I opened the doors of a group of rooms at the first floor end of the waiting room building, the noise I had heard before subsided, and the students' gaze focused on me.
It looks like this class is broadly divided into three groups.
On the rear window, a group of boys focused on long-haired brown-haired boys with a slightly rusty appearance.
At the front window, a group of girls focused on a little flashy blonde long-eyed fishing girl.
There were several other plain-eyed men and women gathered in the aisle. Oh, that Biden-kun is over here, too. The friend (?) we were talking to.
Most of them are looking at me.
Those who send strange gazes and stubborn gazes, those who send curious gazes that look at unusual animals, those who look away uninterestedly, and those who stare with hostility.
No, why are you staring at me? Did you do something? Well, sometimes I buy grudges without knowing. Maybe it was a child of an aristocrat aristocrat.
All right, let's not worry about it! We're in the same class, and we'll get to know each other sooner or later. If there is no actual damage, there is no problem.
"Okay, we're all here, right?" Then sit in an empty chair. Let's talk about the future. I'll only do it once, so don't listen to me. "
Right behind me, this class of professor Mark = Hot Springs calls out. He's a middle-aged man with a small but strong figure.
"Sensei, I don't seem to be alone." There are only twenty of them. "
"Oh, I'm late for arrival." I heard there were bandits on the street. The bandits have already been crushed, so they'll be there in a few days. ”
Mr. Biden asks Mr. Hot Spring a question. [M] Is that a pretty aggressive personality? It looks like "The Mob" with a medium-backed, plain-looking face.
Arriving late is the eldest son of the Viscount family, who has territory in the western part of the kingdom.
The western kingdom was roughed up by previous wars with Joaquin. I guess security hasn't been restored yet.
There are no children of the royal family or the marquis among the admissions this year. So, all the children of the nobility below the count's house.
This kind of year seems to be a school year. For some reason, it seems that it is easy to have accidents due to the activation of power struggles between students.
Without a high-ranking nobleman's child, the sequence in the school would be ambiguous. That's why the connection between the mounts is intensifying, and there will inevitably be more struggles and extra work. I see.
Of all the newcomers this year, I'm the top of the family. The Frontier Count is more than an Earl and less than a Marquis, so it's just been established.
Does that mean I have to sum up the grade? I don't want to be such a hassle. Just being a teacher is all I have. The person who wants to play the role of coordinator is the one who wants to play it.
With my troubles at the forefront, Mr. Hot Spring goes on to explain the future of school life.
Basically, to live together in a full board system, not to be assigned a follower, not to be considered for the title of parent (before the establishment) in the school, classes are optional, but there are compulsory subjects.
As an exception, I was explained that I would be attending from outside, and that I would not take classes in required subjects because I had already obtained a graduation qualification. If you have enough days to attend, you can graduate. I don't think you have to be a student anymore.
Everything is unusual and special.
Normal school life is impossible, isn't it?
