They were all excited about the overall victory on Martial Arts Day and talked late at night in the dorm, but Almark felt just the limit of his strength and went back to his room early to rest.
So it wasn't until the morning after I realized that the broken window in the room was being cleanly fixed that I was completely rejuvenated.
When I thanked Maia, the caretaker, for that, Maia snorted unfathomably, as usual, and told Cassis not to thank me.
In the morning, on his way to the school building, Almark was voiced by freshman Erdo and Sicily.
"I heard you, Almark. It worked at yesterday's martial arts tournament."
"Oh, Eldo, Sicily, good morning"
"I was worried I had no magical talent, but martial arts seemed to be able to do it there, and I was relieved"
That's what Eldo says and nods.
"Thanks"
When Almark says that with a bitter smile, Sicily pinches her mouth from the side.
"Almark, did you work hard at the martial arts tournament?
"Yeah. Good luck with that."
"It is. Then you have to study magic as hard as you can."
"Ugh, yeah."
"That's right, Almark. Our duty is only witchcraft. Just because you're good at it doesn't mean you can't keep up with martial arts."
Eldo snorts heavily.
"I've been investing in healing lately. It's also magicians who can save people's lives."
I think I heard that word from Dr. Illmis too.
But to Almark, who has been helped many times by Celia's medicinal water, Eldo's words were honest.
"Right. I'll do my best to apprentice you, too."
Eldo nods, yeah, right, to Almark's words.
When I get to the classroom, the majority of my class is already here and it's pretty exciting.
The topic is still mostly the continuation of yesterday's martial arts tournament.
Nelson finds out what Almark looks like, and he calls me right away.
"Almark. You're coming tomorrow, too, aren't you?
"Huh?"
When Almark is decent, Raido, who was next door, pulls Nelson's sleeve.
"Nelson, when that story came out yesterday, Almark was gone."
"Oh well. Almark is nothing."
Nelson scratched his head.
School's off tomorrow.
So they were all set to celebrate their victory in a dining room called the Flying Fish Pavilion in the city of Norc.
The Jumping Fish Pavilion is a three-beat dining room that is cheap, tasty and plentiful, often attended by middle and high school students who are not very tired of college meals alone on holiday days.
A lot of people from the city of Norc also visited the martial arts tournament yesterday.
In it, he said, the wife of a flying fish pavilion who came to watch the primary party was thrilled to be in regular Morgen's struggle, and that she would let the store rent out for three years and two pairs of victories at a low profit margin.
"Wow."
As Almark rounded his eyes, Nelson nodded.
"Thanks to Morgen being a regular at that store. That's a good player. Different things to do."
"Right."
Almark nods. Morgen at the time is talking to a buyer at the window.
"So you're going, too"
"Oh. Of course I'm coming."
"All right. Now everyone but Wallis is in."
"Is Wallis still no good?"
"Hmmm...... I wonder. I haven't seen him yet."
Wallis just walked into the classroom to talk about that.
"Good morning, everyone"
To that voice, all the classes who were on the spot look back at him.
Wallis, are you done?
Wallis, it's okay now.
Reido or Norish speak up in mouth.
Wallis smiles calmly, though still pale.
"Oh. Not quite yet, but a lot better. I'm sorry I bothered you."
Then, call on the whole class.
"I hear you won the martial arts tournament yesterday. Congratulations everyone."
"It would have been easier if you'd been here."
Nelson speaks up.
"Not necessarily."
Wallis gently denies Nelson's words and walks over to Morgen.
"Morgen. I hear you were a good player. [M] Congratulations."
"Oh, yeah. If you'd come out, I'd have been an alternate."
That's what Morgen laughs at.
"What if there's no such thing? It's wonderful."
That's what I say and slap Morgen on the shoulder.
"Speaking of which, Wallis,"
Nelson says, as I recall.
"We're having a celebration tomorrow at the flying fish pavilion. You can come, too, right?
"Celebration party. That's amazing. Can I go?"
"Of course. You're the two class members."
"Bye..."
"I don't like it."
Wallis turns to his grumpy voice.
It was torque that sandwiched my mouth.
He puts a cheek wand on his desk and looks at Wallis with a rugged face.
"Keeping it so easy to abandon going to martial arts tournaments, you said you'd just leave the celebration? Down on which side?"
"Hey, torque. There's no way to say that."
Nelson frowns.
"You were hurt, so you had no choice."
"Hmm. What do you say?"
Torque turned that way.
"I was injured and there must have been a lot I could do as a class member by the tournament. Throw it all at me and Almark."
To the words, the classroom quiets back.
"I don't know if I told you this, but Ein and Lux both did a great job at the tournament as class commissioners. Unlike you."
That said, I stare at Wallis with only my eyes.
"Right. I'm sorry I did that."
Wallis apologizes only pale.
"I didn't know you relied on me that much. I'm sorry I didn't notice."
"That's not what I'm saying."
Torque roughed up his voice.
"Anyway, if Wallis is coming, I'm not going. I'm in the mood."
Deg and Galain, who stood beside him, also look in trouble at the words.
"Torque, don't give me any trouble."
Nelson also absurds his voice, but Torque doesn't look like he did it willingly.
"If that's the case, I won't. It's not as wild as going about this in an unwelcome seat."
When Wallis says that with a calm look on his face, Nelson also makes just as much of a troubled face.
"Wallis, don't say that to me."
"Hey, both of you"
It was Wendy who came in between softly.
"It's not boring to talk about the celebration. Then let the leader of yesterday's martial arts tournament decide. Well, then you're both not complaining."
That's what I see in Almark.
"Oh, me."
Almark said so unexpectedly to his unexpected accomplishment, but if Wendy and I meet each other, we have to nod.
"Okay. Then as yesterday's leader, let me give you my opinion."
With that said, we stand between Wallis and Torque, but neither of us will even try to look at Almark.
Well.
Almark thinks.
There must be something wrong with Wallis.
But perhaps that should not be said on this occasion now.
But it's not a good idea to put the celebration under the discord of a class that has come together because of it.
"Yesterday morning"
That's what Almark started talking about.
"I said this class is the best. He said he'd win in the best class. Including Wallis, Torque and you, of course. As a result, we won."
So, saying, Almark looks at the two faces alternately.
"We both have to come tomorrow. Otherwise there's no point in celebrating."
Oops, Nelson responds.
"Agreed. That's the leader's opinion."
Wallis, is that all right?
When Almark speaks, Wallis shrugs his shoulders.
"I don't mind. Spring even torque."
Almark nods and speaks to Torque.
"Torque, you like it too"
Torque does not reply with his cheek cane pointed at him.
"Torque"
When Almark said it again, Torque threw up, with a sigh, whatever he wanted.
"It's settled."
When Almark raised his face, he said in a relaxed voice as Morgen grinned.
"You should definitely both come. 'Cause at such a cheap price, you can eat all the food from the flying fish pavilion, right? I'm so glad we won."
The words finally made my classmates laugh.
"You're early today."
On the way back to the dorm, Wendy, chasing me from behind, called out to Almark.
"Oh, Wendy. I hear you have business today, Dr. Illmis."
When Almark smiles back and says so, Wendy says she's sorry today as she walks in line next to Almark as she is.
"Huh?"
"Look, Torque and Wallis could have rubbed it in the morning. I pulled Almark out then."
"Oh......"
"If you're talking about Almark, think I'll hear the torque, too."
"Torque too... well, you do. This time, I received a trophy from Prince Wang as my leader."
When Almark says that and imitates receiving the trophy, Wendy snorts, laughing as she shudders, yeah.
"I was just getting the trophy, and it was cool. But not just because you're a leader."
Wendy adds.
"If you're talking about Almark, I'm sure Torque will listen. Torque admits so much about Almark."
"I guess so."
Almark twists his neck.
That may be the case with martial arts. But I have done nothing to be admitted about witchcraft or anything else.
"I'm always being sarcastic."
"That's not true. I admit it."
Wendy nods forcefully when she says so.
"Yeah."
Almark didn't quite know. He hammered.
Keep quiet and walk for a while.
"By the way, Wendy"
Almark changed the subject.
"I'm talking about tomorrow's celebration."
"Yeah."
Actually, I've never been to a flying fish pavilion.
"Oh, really?
Wendy rounds her eyes.
"Everyone's been there about once."
Sounds like it.
Almark nods.
"I've had all my meals done in the cafeteria since I got here."
Almark has little interest in food.
If you can eat anything, if you can tuck it in your stomach, that's fine. There's a verse somewhere that I think so.
"It is. Then I'll come with you tomorrow."
That's what Wendy suggests.
"Yeah. Good. Actually, I was gonna ask you to do that, too."
Almark said lightly, and the two laughed face-to-face.
