The first and second days went by in a blur as we worked hard to complete the curriculum.
Then came the third day of orientation.
The outline of the final day's magical battle and the team members were revealed.
The venue for the magic battle was a forest owned by the Academy. It was located near the royal capital.
The outline is that the S and A classes will be divided into east and west to build a fort. Each team is divided into teams, and the first one to drop the fort wins.
For each team of six S-class students, there are four A-class students and two upperclassmen. Each team is led by a teacher.
My team consisted of two boys and two girls. Chris and I were separated from our team.
As for the senior students, Marguerite and His Royal Highness the Dauphin came to help us.
Chris has an older brother on his team. I would have preferred to be with him anyway.
The only saving grace was that Mr. Torgereau was the teacher in charge.
The only saving grace was that Mr. Torgereau was the teacher in charge of the team, and since they were allowed to take the Holy Beast with them, Leon was with them.
Miss Catriona, take care of her.
"It's nice to meet you too. Mr. Richard, Ms. Marguerite.
"My sister has always been a great help to me. I look forward to working with you.
Golden hair and green eyes. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
It's the one who is taking care of me. Marguerite.
I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
Please continue to be good friends with my sister.
"Of course.
Marguerite and I get along well, but not so well with other holy beasts.
Hawk is constantly intimidating Leon, but Leon is not dealing with him and is absent-minded.
'I hope you're enjoying your orientation life?'
I turn my attention to His Royal Highness the Dauphin, who interrupts my conversation with Lady Marguerite.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
I see, that's what balancing is all about.
Even though I am a "plant magic" user, I am an earth magic user. And I'm irregular.
It's not often that I get to live with my classmates, so it's refreshing.
Marguerite is greeting the other classmates. I'm not sure if it's because the student council president is right in front of me.
This year's orientation is going to be interesting," she said. When I was here, it was just a classroom lecture on magic and a mock battle.
It had been bothering me for a while, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talked about himself, he changed his name from me to me.
Did you decide to renew it before your social debut?
Yes, I did. I'm very nervous.
"The conversation is not going well. Is it because Rio's replies are so blunt?
Excuse me. I'm sure you're trying your best to make conversation.
Leon's reminder echoed in my head.
Leon should get along with Hawk.
I don't know! He only threatens to stay away from Marguerite.
It sounded like the high-pitched buzzing of a bird of prey to me, but was that what Hawk was saying?
From today on, we'll have a magic lecture in the morning, and in the afternoon we'll work in teams. You may discuss your strategy for magical warfare. You can also practice your magic.
Tojiro-san's clear voice echoed.
We'll be working in teams? I feel heavy.
Our opponents are a six-member S-class team led by Kikuno-sama. There are two of them, Ange and Adeline.
I don't know. You guys will definitely win!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it, but I'm sure I can.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find it on the web.
If anyone replied, "It's not like chess, you can't read ahead like that," he would smile and say, "You'll die.
However, Kikuno-sama was not the only tough one.
You can't underestimate Angel's fog magic and special skills, and Adeline is skilled in the Marquis de Trevize's family art of magic inhibition.
What is the strategy of Professor Tojeureau?
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
'It's about Hikoshiro. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
Leon is saying something rude.
We'll go head-to-head, and I'll draw Kikuno. You guys take them down somehow.
Oh. Yeah. Leon's words are about right.
Needless to say, the whole team fell silent.
The last day of orientation arrived. The day of the magic battle arrived.
To be honest, we couldn't rely on Mr. Torgereau, so Marguerite made the plan.
For some reason, it was me and Mr. Turow who attacked the fort. I don't know which one of us is the leader.
This fort is guarded by Marguerite. Another girl from the same team will defend the fort with Marguerite.
The attack and defense were the responsibility of the two boys, led by His Royal Highness the Dauphin.
Fanfares echoed from all directions.
The fanfare echoing through the forest signaled the start.
"Let's go! Yurie!
"Yes. Mr. Torjuro.
I followed Mr. Torjurou as he ran off into the forest.
I heard a beeping sound and looked up to see Hawk flying overhead. He was going to show us the way to the fort.
'Is Marguerite, the student council president, a hawk user?
She's more of a gryphon.
Birds of prey have excellent eyesight. I'm sure she'll be able to find the fort over there.
A falconer. That's cool. Maybe I'll be a cat wrangler.
All right! Go, Leon!
Where are you going?
Leon speaks normally, since it's only Mr. Torjuro and me now.
'We're going to find out where the other team is, like Hawk. Cats are hunters, aren't they?
I am not a cat. I am not a cat, but I can at least find out where the other team is.
I jumped from my shoulder to a tree and ran up it.
I'm not a cat, but I can at least find out where the other team is. You're very light.
"Rio, they're coming. Up here!
It seems that he has found his opponent. Leon sent me a telegram.
"Dr. Tuusiulo. Up here.
Mr. Torgerow and I pause and look up.
One of the boys unleashed a 'wind blade' at us.
"Are you trying to use 'wind magic' against me? Sweet! "Wind magic" storm!
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll help.
"Professor Tohjuro. Isn't that too much?
I've adjusted it so that the wind will catch it where it's blown away. I don't think you'll get hurt.
He was a teacher, so he had taken the safety of his students into consideration.
You can use magic normally without using a sword?
"I'm still a member of the Wind God's household.
"Rio! To the right!
A few stone bullets flew at me from the right. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
A wall of wood instantly surrounds Tohjuro-san and me.
The girl who released the stone bullet shouted, "Is there such a magic? I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems to have two attributes, earth magic and fire magic.
It's a good idea to get rid of the wooden wall before the fire magic is released. The moment the fire magic is released, Tojiro draws his sword.
I can't believe it. I can't believe I'm slashing fire.
He used his sword to cut through the fire that the schoolgirl had unleashed.
It's a no-brainer for the Sage of the Wind. I can do it too, but I don't have a sword.
Do you wish to surrender?
In this magic battle, there is a system of surrender for the safety of the students. If a student surrenders, he or she raises the white flag and becomes a prisoner of the other side. However, if the other side wins, it is a negative point, which is painful. By the way, the student who was sent away by Mr. Tojiro earlier is also a negative point.
"Ugh! I give up.
The girl raised her white flag gracefully.
This makes four students with Kikuno.
I think some of them are attacking our fort through other routes.
...... I guess.
Did they think that all of them would break through the front like we did?
I'm not sure what to make of it.
When Torjulo and I reached the front of the fort, an emergency occurred.
The teachers' communication crystals flashed, and we received a transmission from the magical academy that had jurisdiction over this forest.
"Emergency! A dungeon has appeared in the forest! The magic battle must be canceled!
A dungeon had appeared in the forest, and the students quickly escaped from the forest with the guidance of the teacher leading them. However, it was said that several students disappeared around the dungeon. Those students were Chris and his team.
