The results of the test came back. Almark ranks 25th out of 46.
Written exams were done quite well, but the scores on the practical exams were still low. The score of exams for sorcery practice is also quite low.
Nevertheless, there were no subjects that would be remedial studies.
As for the first exam, Almark thought it was good.
Both Morgen and Nelson seem to have managed to avoid remedial education this time.
The first place in this exam is still Wallis. Layla is fourth, Wendy is sixth.
Wendy felt sincerely sorry for Almark wondering if the ranking would have been higher if he had concentrated on studying alone, but Wendy of course said nothing.
At the end of a stormy exam period, the vacation is already current.
The night before vacation, the dorm was busy with packing students.
Almark was invited by extra Morgen in his spare time to look around at how everyone in the dorm was doing.
Peeping into Norish and Lilty's room, Lilty had already finished packing. Norish is a souvenir to take home and his luggage is pampered.
"Neither of us seem free"
says Norish, who sweated on his forehead.
"We'll always be here tomorrow."
and Morgen.
"Norish, is your father and mother coming to pick you up?
"Because your mother is not very strong. Your father's the only one coming tomorrow."
Norish answers, pointing to two heavy luggage, and tells his father to have this.
"Lilty was picked up by your parents?
Lilty nods happily at Almark's words.
I love my parents, Lilty. It will be a pleasure to meet you.
"... what if your parents get you a new handkerchief?
Softly in his ear, Lilty turns bright red in his face and waves up his right hand already, but he is somewhere happy with the look as well.
"Take care, both of you. Go home."
And Morgen said, and as he tried to leave the room, the two of them waved at me and dropped me off, saying they weren't expecting a souvenir.
"Let's go to Wendy's room next"
and Morgen runs small down the hallway singing his nose. Almark goes after him too.
One group of girls in my roommate opened the door for me, and when the two of us showed their faces, Wendy turned around, apparently just finished packing.
"What's wrong with you both?"
"Inspect the dorm as a representative of the residual group."
"What's that?"
Wendy smiles. Almark realized that Wendy's luggage was not as large as the Norish.
"Luggage, you don't have that much"
"Oh......"
I snort at Wendy's words that most things are in the house.
"Who's coming to pick you up tomorrow?
and Morgen.
"The letter said Ward, the butler, was coming... because he's gonna change a lot in the last minute."
"It is."
"I'll write to you both as soon as I get to Galentre. Confirm our plans and let me know when it's okay to come."
"Yeah, absolutely!
and Morgen. When I hear that, my roommate's girl gives me an enviable voice.
"Uh, are you going to visit Wendy's house? Nice, I want to go too!
"What are you talking about? Colour's going home."
Wendy said, the girl, called Colour, shook her head and
"My house is a country nobleman of Foretta. Bar Herb House Mansion in Galentor...... I went too -"
And I say, ha, and I leak a sigh.
"No, no, because this is a privilege given only to lonely kids like me and Almark, who have no-one to pick them up and have nowhere to go home. Anyone who has somewhere to go, please go home."
Morgen specializes in sad things.
"Hey, Almark."
"Oh, oh."
I was shaken by myself, and Almark nodded with no choice.
Uh, and dissatisfied with the color pointing at his mouth, the two of them leave the room.
"Well, you're waiting for the letter, Wendy"
Morgen says, and the two of us wave. Yeah, and Wendy nods.
"Where shall we go next?"
and Mogen, who is gaining momentum. Walk slowly down the hallway.
And Wendy stopped calling Almark from behind as he tried to follow Morgen.
"Almark."
"Hmm?"
Almark turns around.
"What?
"You know..."
"Yeah."
"I think I'll be out of here by lunch tomorrow"
"? Yeah."
I'm not sure what Wendy's talking about, and I'll just snort.
Wendy somehow blushed and nagged.
"I won't be seeing you for a while... and I hope you come to see me off, I can't believe..."
"Huh? Ah, oh. Of course. Of course I'm coming."
To unexpected words, Wendy looked up as Almark nodded in a panic.
"Really? Good!
When Almark unwittingly glared at that smile, Morgen's voice chased him from across the hallway.
"Almark! What are you doing? Let's go to the Nelsons next!
In reply to that, Almark waves to Wendy.
"See you tomorrow"
"Yeah."
Wendy dropped me off until Almark was out of sight.
Nelson packs a practice sword in his luggage, saying he will practice martial arts even after he returns home for a martial arts tournament to be held after his vacation.
"This is my first martial arts tournament! You can't beat another class!
And it looks like an awesome strain.
"Who's Nelson picking up?
"My mother's coming. It's been a while so I'm looking forward to it... oops"
Nelson was about to say, look at the two faces and shut his mouth.
"Sorry, you two couldn't go home."
"Oh, it's okay. Because we have fun together. Hey Almark."
"Oh, yeah."
"Speaking of which, are you guys going to Wendy's mansion? I'm sorry I have to worry about noble mansions. Ma, I've been around for almost two months, so I think that's a good idea sometimes. I'll write to you when I get there."
"Yeah, I'll be waiting."
Morgen answers.
"Almark's never been on vacation before."
and Nelson.
"I have a lot of pickups coming to school tomorrow. It's pretty spectacular."
I hear the pickups are taking a boat tomorrow morning to the island. Do you think some of them have already arrived on the island of Norc and stayed in the city inn?
"Heh."
That's what Almark said. He looked out the window. Far beyond, you can see the lights of the city of Norc.
It seems like a long time ago I got on a boat and stepped down to that city harbor.
Two, Almark found one light running through the garden.
Is it a lamp lamp, or a magic lamp? It's far and uncertain, but it seems to be slowly headed towards the main entrance.
In the middle of the night like this, who would it be?
That's what I thought. In the meantime, he talked to Morgen from behind and Almark quickly forgot about the light.
