It was two days after the selection match that the competition members met together.

Classes are not currently starting as a late class enrollment period. Is it something like a trial period?

That's why most students are finishing their day in the morning.

The location is in the building where the dining room is located, and the multi-purpose hall used by the selection committee members on its third floor as the selection location. A desk curved fan-shaped from the classroom, like an auditorium, spread horizontally.

There is no such thing as narrow hands when a total of thirty people come in. Thereby various explanations are given by Ferrinella. It seemed that it was almost up to her at the time she became chairman of the selection committee that the delegate to the tournament was set for Felinera this time. She naturally did not speak out against us because she is our highest ranking.

"In the spirit of the Games, there are no restrictions on bringing in AWR. It is also because fighting demons is envisaged...... it is just a place that demonstrates personal skill, weapons other than AWR are prohibited. Other prohibitions can be found in the materials at hand, so please check with everyone."

Tauntingly Ferrinella explains,

"Our school has not performed well in recent years. Keep your heads together so you can report your victory to the Second Magic Academy."

At the same time, he said, "Hi!" and my voice goes up. Ars and Loki are not included in it. I simply don't know the benefits of winning and I don't know the timing.

That doesn't mean you don't have to win. The victory is more within the assumption in talking to the Governor than with Ars himself.

In this case, the closest expression would be that Ars and Loki, who were out in the outside world, should not be subject to temperature differences.

Ferrinella then raised her cheek. It's not fun or funny kind of laugh from anyone's eyes.

"You've all been elected representatives of our school, so please behave shamelessly. Naturally, the use of chemical boosts like the one that comes up every year will result in immediate arrest, cancellation of licences. Of course, it's nothing more than a mud coating on our faces."

Even Ars knows the name Chemical Boost. It's a magic enhancer for tablets.

It is a drug that forces the generation of magic. This is prohibited by law because it induces magic runoff as a side effect.

The sound of someone swallowing his spit sounded somewhat louder in the hall.

Ferrinella opens her mouth just to re-compartmentalize.

"And it's training to the tournament, but the training ground will be freed up as a priority for the contestants. But just doing the training is normal, so I encourage you to train with your mentors. Of course, you can ask the faculty, or you can ask an upper class. However, because college students and faculty have less practical experience, they have already spoken out to faculty members who are selection committee members and able to mentor them. There's also a number of problems. It can't be man-to-man. For this reason, four faculty members will be placed in the training area at all times. You can also see that some people train ineffectively each year without finding a mentor, so in that case, let's help each other out. Let's not forget that each and every one of us carries a second magic school sign."

The words naturally made Felinera aware. Many want to be taught by her that she would be an upperclassmate because she is an admirer of the college when it comes to students.

That's what you think and you're inflating your envy expectations.

"And the board president found time to take on the guidance, too, so I think he gets a face from time to time"

That was the happiest thing I've ever done. "Uh-oh." "Seriously!" The voice murmurs in the hall.

Perhaps more enthusiastic than when the tournament was decided.

"The training ground will be liberated from today, but start by looking for someone to mentor you exclusively. Let's clarify the assignments and complete them one at a time."

This would be a word for freshmen.

The communication will be completed shortly, and this multi-purpose hall will be placed as a countermeasure headquarters for the Games. They let me know on the on-campus broadcast whenever they hear anything from me.

There is no problem because there is a schedule or something in the materials that Ars has at hand, but there is one item that concerns me.

"This is followed by a list of mentors on the last page of the dossier so that the dark clouds never look for mentors. Look for the mentors who were in your lineage from this. However, up to two instructors may be assigned to one instructor."

It's this list that Ars cares about.

I can see from just looking at it that I haven't sorted by rank alone. It's one thing we don't have the names of our freshman Tesfir or Alice.

It's understandable that there's a Loki name, but why there's an Ars name?

Ferrinella should know that Ars doesn't like this kind of trouble, and then someone's invisible hand should be seen as working.

Well, just because I have Ars' name doesn't mean I can't even speak to a mysterious ordinary person in my freshman year let alone from others.

Besides, the Ars part was blank even though the list of other mentors contained several requirements to qualify, such as a system with aptitude.

"Selection Commissioners have taken prior pleasure in the list here, so you should not be denied it"

Ars said in his heart, "Hey! I'm not listening to you," he pukes. I got eyes to eyes with Felinella who seemed sorry at the end of that gaze.

"This includes the contestants, so in that case, you need to talk to them and come to me once."

In other words, honors students like Ferrinella who can't even be taught by faculty will be self-trained, but with so much strength, they will finish by the tournament that it would be self-practice.

"Then if you don't seem to have any questions, this will be dissolved," a voice sounded going through the back.

The athletes leave the classroom immediately. No heart. He also seems in a hurry, but he probably went looking for a mentor.

Then the students who are still in the hall, as expected, are to offer instruction to Felinella.

"That's tough," Ars stood up like other HRs, taking Loki behind his back, when he tried to get out.

"Mr. Ars!?

Yes, a lovely voice with a soprano tone was thrown.

Turning around, Ars twisted his neck. On the inside, though.

"... that was Mr. Ciel. Something?"

I won't forget my name just two days ago. Between things I just didn't know why I could be pulled over.

Without hesitation, Ciel responds with a honeycomb.

"Can't you ask for guidance?

"Why? I think a lot of people are better than me."

I never had a conversation with her until yesterday without contact.

"I don't think I usually like being taught the same grade."

"That's not true! And..."

and Ciel glanced back at Tesfir and Alice a little after seeing Loki.

"Fia and Alice, Ars, they want you to see it."

Ars threw a glance at them, but they flush them with a cool face. If we were to train, Tesfir and Alice would be with us, so it would be impossible not to be noticed. Still, I would have been able to disguise Ars as being in a position to be taught if the two of them could care about keeping their backs together.

I mean, I guess Ciel was the first to ask what Tesphere and Alice would do.

"At first, Loki wanted to teach me..."

"No, I'll let Al take a look"

Loki stuck her hand out in front of her bah so she could stretch the wall.

I guess Ciel expected it too. I knew it. I look at you.

Ars overflowed with a sigh wondering if the two of them could have ended up no good in the back of their mouths.

It should have been possible to mentor up to two people, which means that Ars can only see up to two people, but there are some loki on the list on this occasion, so there will be a capacity of four.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ciel, but when you look at it, it's no big deal. I have to train myself too..."

"Don't be a jerk. You'll see another one or so hassles."

Tesphere cracks all the way in.

I don't want to believe this is the word of those who are being taught.

I couldn't help but think this girl was really shallow. I was wondering if you hadn't passed behind your brain for a moment that you would end up with a lot of things to do.

"I don't mind watching the tournament if I say so much, but naturally you should go directly to the president."

……

"Why the president of the board?

Ciel had a question mark over her head, and Tesfir had her brain blackened for a moment as bleached.

Whether to make an offer to the former single president before being allowed or refused stands in the tesphere as a harm.

Ars was shaking his certainty as I told him. While I don't think the president should allow it, then the question is why is there a name on the list of leaders?

But what provided an unexpected way out - mainly to Tesfir - was Alice, who was supposed to be watching with a bitter smile behind her back as she made her way.

"So we can help?

…… Nice Alice! "

Tesfir that still seems to thumb up. Keep it up, you don't complain, do you? and turn to Ars with a Doya face.

Naturally, I complained. To be honest, I'd like to beg your pardon, but I felt like oil in the fire to water the rising faces.

But will this not be seen by Ars in disintegration?

"Are you sure? We both have training."

"It's okay. There's two of us, and we're better off than that?

"Of course it is. As much as I'd like to ask."

Two people on the leaders' list with no names, but to Syel, who has been taught from time to time, it was a ship across.

"Sure enough, Loki will be able to see four people on the shape, so no problem."

There has been no room for debate since the words that will be Alice's decisive hit.

Als, who watched the whole thing, couldn't help but anticipate concerns like ex-post consent.

Is this already confirmed... I guess it is.

Ars scratched his back of his head with a soft touch and proceeded to walk toward the lecture.

Ahead there was a dense band like a dough, at the centre of which Ferrinella was busily waving her face to the left and right as she stood in trouble in front of her chest.

Most of them are women, with men poking around a little farther apart.

There will be no choice but to be popular with same-sex. It's unavoidable to wind up far from being a man.

Still no pity? and Ars saw the boys who couldn't get in by cracking them.

"May I have a word?"

Even though it seems to scratch out now - by the voice of a tall female student - Ars raises his hand with his voice.

Ferrinella never missed hearing Ars when she said she was in this.

"Yes!... what is it"

Would this be the case given my position with freshman year rather than my relationship with Ars, although I have a little leeway?

"I'm going to have two mentors."

but Ars has not been able to switch. Because of this, the gaze of the surrounding female student was simultaneously directed towards Ars. It is poured all over your body so that your eyes, similar to those of hostility, are worthy.

It's not in my mouth, but I said, "What's that attitude? What?" But I said.

"Ah, yes. Okay... don't push it."

and instant answers.

The last word was directed more at Ars individuals than at contestants.

Ars just kept his decision for once, but bows his head gently and quits the spot.

The back stabbing gaze stops immediately, and the vision of Ferrinella concentrates.

(That's really tough, considering that I just got one more. Am I still better?

"No, it must be an extra effort," Ars concluded during the bundle that he thought, among other things.

Well, you just have to know. As long as you understand......

♢ ♢ ♢

"I knew you didn't understand."

As always, we gathered at the training ground we held down.

It is a compartment divided into ten equal parts. Naturally, the dark screen is drawn because there is an implicit understanding that there is no magical prying, even if it is training for the Games. But at least it would be irresistible for Ferrinella to patrol from time to time as a watchdog or advisor, such as if she was not seriously or poorly trained in results.

It meant that I couldn't see the athletes gathered at her place alone, mixed with the faculty to coach widely as the fifth.

Inside the walls stained in black, +1 is added to the usual members.

Reservations for the training area consist of two people, but since the number is limited, it would be better if it could be used by two or more people.

For this reason, even if two students are using it, they may buy unhappiness. One person can do so in the free space without doing it in the compartment.

In this case, there is no problem in terms of space. It would mean that if you raise the issue, you would be unwanted prying if you trained in the same place.

Ars said he didn't know because of the area.

"Was it annoying, Mr. Ars?"

And I seriously worry about Ars (what am I really going to do) to Ciel, who apologizes for being sorry.

"No, that's not true..."

Ars looks back hatefully as the red-haired girl stares behind Ciel.

(You might forget to get involved in the house situation and give it back with a vendetta or this guy...

And things won't get any better even if it seems to come out of my mouth. This is what Loki thinks when she stands by her side.

(If anything goes wrong with this, Master Ars should abandon them both) and.

If it matters, it's not tasty, but Loki shuts up, considering the amount of time he spends on both of us, even if he's somewhat overloaded with Ars, I'm sure it's trivial.

Ars stood one finger as he had no choice but to drop.

"Just one promise. Can we do each other a favor without prying?

"Yeah. Absolutely."

Ciel assumed it was a magical pry. Though she is a magician's chick, she has a consciousness as a magician. So it's natural that someone else's magical prying is a waste of time.

Alice ears softly at Tesfir, who shakes her head vertically.

"Al's rank is a secret, so we have to be careful."

"Ah!"

"You had no idea, Fia?

"Uh... yeah"

"Well, just be careful... I guess"

Ciel whispers to the two of you.

"A month to the tournament, let's do our best."

"Ugh, yeah."

"That's right."

The first training involves each task.

For your sake, Ars begins by letting Loki meditate his eyes and throw the ball.

Somehow clear, followed by a knife.

Ciel looks at the sight with interest.

She said she wouldn't pry, but if she trained that she'd never even seen, she wouldn't be blamed for stopping her movement if she was studying enthusiastic.

"Look, Ciel. You train!

Tesfir snorts wildly at teachers.

"That said, what shall I start with"

…………

"... uh, practice or something?

This was the answer Ciel twisted out. When she speaks of training, it's like a mock game or a magical repetitive exercise.

"Speaking of which, you two said you were being taught by Ars, what exactly are you doing?

"I guess I'm magical multiple exercise and endurance"

"It seems to me that incorporating new magic into practice and the other, Al says, improves the accuracy of coordinate recognition."

and pointed to a round machine in a remote position.

Surprised Ciel raises her voice with a stunned face.

"-! Does that make sense?

"Don't you have one? Al says it."

"... Huh. You trust me a lot. Well, you were strong, but you don't think you two are inferior. Like, good at teaching?

The stiffness was almost simultaneous for both of us.

"Ugh, yeah. Good. See, I don't pry."

"What! Isn't that magic?

Alice stops in a hurry not to cross the line and affirms as she remembers the contents of her secret when she realizes that Ciel is making a mistake.

"Yeah, except maybe magic"

Why is Ciel here? Thought so, but you wouldn't tell me that where you two asked. Although I had a little alienation, I quickly hypothesize.

(You have a hard past that people can't tell you. Yeah, I get it, Mr. Ars)

Completed alone, Ciel regained her temper by pretending to roll her sleeves.

"Ciel, I think you should practice magic until then, because I'll do the practice later in the day when it's your usual training."

"Okay."

Then for a few hours, I think Ars gives advice to Tesfir and Alice from time to time. I was wondering if maybe there's a structure in place where Ars is saving Ciel.

I feel that way because it really doesn't make a big difference to teach two or three.

Ars doesn't recommend what a waste of training you are looking at it, even if you don't say repetitive practice is futile.

But I don't have a stepfather to take care of me any more than I said myself.

However, since there is a lot to be gained from the game format training, it switches to a simulated match mixed with Ciel.

If you were aware, the training grounds were filled with signs of a large number of students.

It would be in the form of a total win, but in Loki's case it didn't make much sense one-on-one, so it took the form of a one-on-three.

Tesfir and Alice are in close proximity, and Ciel makes a long-range attack from a remote position. This is training for Loki.

Is Tesfir and Alice an achievement so far? Quite a collaboration. Ciel also had the support to pinch the attack well and stay out of the way.

That's not exactly Loki either - to the extent of a predatory wound - because it bounces back with Alice's reflexes at the right time for the attack. Now is the time, too.

Alice's reflexes cannot be reflected when they differ greatly in power from each other. If you say so, you have to consume more magic than the reflectors.

The speedy and overwhelming Loki instantly goes out of sight of the two of them and stands behind them.

It was not long before Ciel, overlooking from a remote position, raised her voice.

"Back both of you!

――――

Loki muttered her magic name like she hung it.

"[Flash]"

I can play a thunderball in front of both of us. The bright white light smears the surrounding scenery, and in an instant the light fills up and dazzles your eyes.

Though prevented by hand, it took a few seconds for my vision to recover, almost at the same time as I turned around.

The two turn their backs in their sumptuous sight and painstakingly capture Loki's back walking to Siel.

Look at what's ticklish in your eyes, not as much as the two of you.

It is difficult to exercise magic in such a sight. Coordinates, because we can't specify an orientation. It's just linear, unfinished magic, even if you let it go.

Ars was naturally blindfolded, and gradually rises. That is simply because the settlement is close.

Tesfir and Alice follow Loki's back in unbridled footsteps. Gradually, when his vision returned, his legs increased as he ran, and in front of him, Ciel managed to intercept him with an arm of dirt lumps, but he had been gently deflected by Loki.

Just before entering Ciel's intermission, Loki's eyes lean to the edge. That's proof left of realizing the two of you are imminent behind it.

At the same time, a sword swung across Loki's back. Miscellaneous attack with uncertain vision.

Loki, who jumped right up and squeezed it, took a knife out of her waist and danced high.

"Yabba!

"- -!! Oh this pattern..."

I noticed you two were invited because a knife pierced the perimeter to cover the three right after waving AWR. A total of seven knives released during blinding, the electric field drawing a circle through an empty hole in the pattern area, and bursting overhead.

Looking straight up, Loki was putting up an aggregated knife of current.

And -.

"[Lightning strike (lightning)]"

- Thunder blasts.

It fell between the three of them, discharged and depressed the ground. Current drove the three of them simultaneously into non-combat.

It would be better to do less, albeit with heart damage, if we were to repeat the battle after this.

The three people with their foreheads and buttocks are blunt and slightly flattered.

"Exactly. The three digits have different dimensions. I don't think even the three of us can win."

For the record, Ars sees double digits as Loki's current combat ability has improved over before she turned to a detective magician due to training.

Ciel stood up and looked at Tesfir and Alice chillingly as she paid her ass for a bitter mix of laughter.

Ciel was in a hurry that during the summer break the two of them were so powerful that they could see each other differently. I was usually just being taught, but I wanted to work twice as hard during the summer and not even get close to being able to line up my shoulders at all. I thought we were close. So much so that I worked in training from morning to evening.

But the difference in strength was even wider.

In fact, Ciel didn't feel like losing to other students his age, although his discipline grades were faster to count from the bottom, which is inferior to the two when it comes to practical skills. That's why I thought if I reached out, my fingertips would be long enough to sweep away.

What about now?

The two backs were so far apart that it was sumptuous. So I couldn't help but pass the word talent. I don't have the option to give up on Ciel, even though I think he's humble.

I know it's not my personality that makes me weirdly marginal, so you just have to let me absorb it from both of you.

That's something I can also say to Ars who beat me. All the faces here help themselves.

"I'm used to it, but I regret it."

"Right."

Ars pinches his words in disdain.

"If you're used to it, don't get on the invite early. It's not a good idea to attack while you can't set your sight in the first place."

Few demons use glare if they go out into the outside world. I hear there is a lot of outrage in New America about disrupting control at that time and, in the midst of confusion, shooting magic. Not to say you don't know what to do, but if you're used to fighting, don't be foolish enough to launch an attack. This is the exception in the case of Loki, either Ars or a detective magician. Other than that, there is magic that doesn't require vision, so I can't say it in a nutshell, but these two aren't even grounded.

A demonic opponent is supposed to be a good way to narrow down his distance from his people, but if he's an interpersonal, he's bound to be attacked in the meantime. Then you should focus on taking distance and restoring your sight.

"There's three of us now, but if you're one-on-one, you'd better choose the magic of buying time"

"Heh, Ars, you're pretty good at tactics, aren't you?"

"I think this is a common sense area?

"... Ha ha"

Ciel has a bitter face pointing out his lack of study and is driven by the wall to spit out his rough breath at the top.

"Ars, aren't you joining us?

"No, I..."

"You can't even train yourself if it's just us. I'm resting. You're welcome."

Ciel pushed Ars' back forcefully.

There's no choice but to do all this, the amount of magic isn't going to increase quickly, Ciel was really tired. The amount of magic is low to repeat the battle while standing. I also had the idea that I could take a break.

"Loki treat me!

"Ah! Ciel, wait, look, Al is looking at us more than he is..."

I think Alice is unnatural, even if she says so herself. I couldn't find the exact words while hiding them.

Then the Tesphere supplements? No, is it right that it hung on reinforcement in a bad way?

"Yeah, well, don't worry about him. 'Cause it's like living to teach us."

"What!!

And was it Alice or Ciel who raised her voice? Needless to say, it was the same reaction without raising your voice.

But Alice's face just turned a bitter look on Tesfir, and Ciel was a pervert! and gobbly eyes toward Ars.

But...

"But, Ars, you're the same contestant, so isn't it a bad idea not to train? Senior Ferrinella is coming to see you."

"I was wondering if you'd be all right"

"No problem."

"Aren't we both over-eyed by all our personal grades already? We all do our best to get good grades."

Tesfir and Alice could not argue. I've even been thinking like I can't hide it from you. Reasons not to let the contestants train. Such things are only lazy.

He said it was bothering his head.

"Well, that's good. I didn't mean to change the training menu."

"Really?" "I don't know," he overflows, "but Ars hasn't forgotten that this red-haired girl is the cause in the first place.

"But I didn't bring AWR..."

"Oh, take mine, then"

Ciel, who said, offers, but Ars' gaze remains oriented toward Tesfir.

"Okay, I got it."

With his cheeks swollen all the time, Tesfir let go of a knife he'd never lent anyone.

"Yeah. You're gonna have to give me a big move on this. That's right, Loki's is a lightning system, and a different system would be good for training."

Don't break it. It's a family heirloom.

"Don't be such a jerk!!

Turning back on his heels, Ars progresses to the center by himself.

"What! What about you two? We lost three to one."

Surprised faces are unconvincing. Or when I tried to turn my contempt gaze on you both to see if it was harassment of Ars.

"Don't worry, Ciel's over here."

Tesfir, who invites him to do so, was moving with Alice to the corner of the compartment.

"I wish I could see it closer"

"Well, if you look at it, you'll see"

The two faces don't have any abusive colors. On the contrary, he gazes at the center not to miss a single gap.

Then a thin membrane is tensioned to cover the three.

"What is this?"

"Al's protective wall. You can't see without this."

When Alice touched Pesciphesi and the inside of the membrane, something like ripples spread.

I will try to touch Ciel, but I don't understand what it is. No, I can only see that this is protected by wonder, although I also feel it resembles a training field wall.

"Please, Master Ars."

"Well, it's the usual training. You can do what you always do, but this time it's the ice system."

and Ars gave a little peek at the knife from his sheath.
