The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

Aurelia, France.

It is considered to be the birthplace of Auruism, which is practised throughout the continent.

Its territory is only about a minute's worth of the city of the great Ruden, and it is scarce in terms of both population and combat power.

About thirty years ago, the country was lightly nationalized by Rouden, but with its strong tourism and cultural strategy, it made the status of a religious power immutable.

Aurelia, a country of religion, stands alongside Yaderoud, a country of art.

The country's sophisticated church architecture, sophisticated literacy rates, and printing techniques polished by the publication of the Bible attract not only religious people, but also the general public.

Now, the Aurelia National College, located in the center of the country, which has always been a tourist destination throughout the year, is now crowded with a huge crowd.

The magnificent white school building, auditorium, and circular arena are filled with people of all shapes and nationalities.

In the vast garden that stretched from the school gate to the arena, there was a prayer cloth that honored God and a flag that showed the prestige of the church, and then there was a stall to fill the stomach of the people.

Exactly, the festival.

People who go to the audience seat with one hand of alcohol are starting to get drunk as soon as possible, looking forward to a three-day martial arts meeting.

On the other hand, the inner part of the arena - the outer perimeter of the stage - was equally spaced apart, and there was a tingling sense of tension.

Waiting in the narrow waiting room are students all wearing white uniforms that are characteristic of Auruism.

There are two or three of them, and in many places five of them are in one room, waiting for their turn.

He who sits on a chair and gazes at the void.

A gentle and restless walker around the waiting room.

A person who leaves the partition wall and speaks to a student in the adjacent waiting room.

They had different ways of living, but they had something in common.

It means that everyone is a student at Aurelia National College.

And this time, they are the holders of superior sanctity who won the qualification to participate in the "Holy Grail", a militant society held once every thirty years.

"Hey, did you hear that? The chalice has participants from outside Aurelia."

Now, in the waiting room, there were people who could hide and bloom in rumors.

The first one to cut out was a boy with short, dark hair and badly sunburned skin.

Speaking in a way that leaves an accent on the town, he says his name is Gino.

His companion, the big dagger, was lightly in charge, and he was found to be a candidate for the "Holy Swordsman" division of the Chalice.

Hmm.

It was answered by a noble boy with cold silver hair and prominent blue eyes.

His name is Raul Pavarini.

A trio of lower-ranking nobles in the Aurelian kingdom, the academy is said to have a synonym for "ice saint" and a sanctity that outweighs that of the cardinals.

Of course, he was a candidate in the "Sacred Magician" department of the Chalice.

"That's not unusual. If you win the Sacred Trinity Cup and become a glorious" Trinity ", you will live in a church in peace for life. The house is only for one generation, the bishop, and the homeland is named after the saint, in addition to a large medal. At this time, every country will send my child to the academy like a fool just to raise Trinity from their own territory. He insisted he was an international student."

But Gino blocked his sober objections.

"No, no, no! That's a little bit different! In general, international students like Aurelia want to borrow the authority of their own country, right? Oh, my God, Luden! They're sending students from the Patriarchate of Luden to join the Trinity."

"From Rouden?

Raul opened his eyes surprisingly and then distorted his mouth in a mood of disgust.

"... is the greedy Rouden going to fit into the symbol of the religious world Aurelia?"

"That's what it is. From what I've heard, women are the ones sent in. There is no credibility to rumors about identity, such as ex-fisher, genius surgeon, genius dancer, amazing esthetician, or angel beauty girl, but for now, I'm sure she is a woman."

Gino nodded, then looked back into the back of the waiting room.

"... is that a candidate for the Virgin Mary, Chloe?

There was a girl sitting at the back of the cramped waiting room in a dark spot from the stage.

Small face and thin limbs.

Skin is clear and white, and hair stretched to the shoulders is flax color reminiscent of the rich earth.

The big, spillage-looking eyes of a young, well-dressed face were as green as a deep forest.

"Eh... ah, yes..."

Chloe, a girl named Chloe, stops shouting at the sudden topic.

She's not confident.

"If so... will you be my rival...?

and murmured.

"I don't know, it's definitely a rival."

"That's right. After all, you are the best nurturing technician of our time - the chief candidate of the Virgin."

"No...."

Gino and Raul said to each other, but Chloe was only getting smaller and smaller.

"That's not true. Mine just goes well with the plants... Gino and Raul are the swordsmen of the fiery fire and the ice magicians... they already have two names like trinitate."

Yes, it is.

The three of them are outstanding at Aurelia National College.

Built to train the next generation of religious personnel, the Academy exhumes and nurtures students who can become saints, swordsmen, and magicians.

Regardless of gender, age, or origin, even the sacred power, whether it is a child of a walking farmer or an old man in a near-walking slum, admission is equally permissible - although the college also has the function of a general educational institution, and inevitably there were many boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 18.

And as a result of the persistent solicitation on the part of the College, Chloe Contesti, who had been forced to live an unfortunate life as a concubine of the merchant, Gino Marge, who lived a painful life in downtown, and Raul Pavarini, who was about to be sold to other countries as a special scholarship student, had no chance of succeeding to the throne as a third son.

They are the leading candidates of the Virgin, the Saint Swordsman, and the Saint Magician, respectively.

Trinitate is a narrow gate.

Because it is at the top of a college where everyone is allowed to enroll, everyone wants to scorch and trinitate strongly.

Inevitably, the students had a strong wind, and Chloe often acted alone without anything, against the three who were favored as scholars.

"I don't think I have the ability to activate magic well on these stages... If you're looking at your rivals, maybe you're paying more attention to them than I am... to everyone in this academy."

"As for Chloe's self-assessment, I suppose they're right that they're the enemy of this academy."

"Ah. Speaking of which, I saw some of the students sneaking in and out of the student lounge overnight... but was that supposed to harass the Luden woman? I think there have been a few intruders, but the Ruden woman is a popular one."

Really?

Gino whistles at unexpected information.

I have a sense of justice like him, but it is not meant for the women of the great Patriarchate.

As one of the Aurelians, I still think that their most prestigious and noble seats should be sat by the people of their country.

However, Chloe only gently frowned on the word "harassment" because of her calm character.

"... I hope this won't be an ugly fight."

Really? You don't have to worry about foreigners messing with the chalice without reading the air?

"Exactly. Students of the academy who are hungry for birth, and unworthy Luden women. We can't wait to see them crush each other."

Gino and Raul ruthlessly concluded and turned their gaze to the arena.

The Holy Grail, the first day.

The opening ceremony was essentially like the previous day's festival, but at the same time it was the first opportunity for all the candidates, including "international students", to meet together.

The rumored Luden woman is waiting for the opening ceremony somewhere in this arena.

Gino and the others were looking for it, but turned to the student's waiting room - the deepest place - and leaned their necks.

"Oh, you haven't come yet?

"No, I'm guessing they're actually entering right now."

As the top performers, the three of them were passed near the entrance to the arena, so the students were actually passing in front of them and entering.

Many are heading to their own waiting rooms looking at the three of them, and even after they settle into their rooms, they create a sword-eating atmosphere.

Their rival minds are exerted in all directions, so the slower they enter, the slower the aisle in front of the waiting room will turn into a malicious flower path.

Gino looked around the outer perimeter of the stage, that is, the aisle in front of the waiting room, interested in things.

"Wow, look, those who arrived in the waiting room first are willing to attack. Raw eggs, raw garbage, insects... some of them are getting ready to sing. Look at the entrance gate... that's all for the Luden students, right?

This is bullshit harassment.

"Well, I don't know how you feel, but..."

Gino's shrugging voice contains some poison.

I'm sure that the international student and I will have quite a lot of standing because they come here with the prestige of Rouden.

Even a charitable college, Gino, who despises people from Shimomachi every day, already has no nose for it.

Raul made an exceptional friendship, and the ordinary aristocracy, the princess of the kingdom, must be the arrogant person first.

"Yes, you can't even get into the waiting room safely with that international student, right?

"Maybe. Well, the big power, Rouden, is sending it in, so it might be able to avoid it a little bit."

I don't have the strength. Former fisherman, surgeon, and dancer and esthetic beauty girl's proud talent - oh, my favorite blonde cat-eye maid discovery. I wonder if it's some kind of cadet's valet. "

Many students are highly qualified, such as aristocrats and the sons of the wealthy, so employees are allowed to enter the college.

And today, this is a unique opportunity to check all the servants who are locked up in the dormitory every day.

Gino laughed at the blonde maid and waved her hand, but when her eyes met, she stared at us in surprise, so for a moment Gino sparkled her eyes "pulse or not".

But a moment later, she quickly turned away, so Gino dropped her shoulders.

After that, I checked the servants who were going to be able to speak, and when it was over, I exhaled.

"What the hell, you're not going to pass us, Luden?"

"At least the angel girl's rumors are a lie."

"Um..."

And then Chloe tended to hesitate to raise her voice.

"Maybe, but... I thought you were already in that waiting room.

Huh?

Following Chloe's thin finger, they opened their eyes.

When I saw it earlier, it was certainly an empty area for international students.

I saw a figure in the waiting room at some point.

"When!?

The only way to get to the waiting room is through the aisle in front of them.

Gino and the others must have been staring at the aisle in front of her.

…………

The three turned their gaze of confusion.
