The girl who rode into the classroom - Mr. Fermina invited me, and I came to the dining room.

Viking food.

The spacious dining room has a delicious culinary scent and lively atmosphere.

Well, what shall we eat today...

It's before a serious battle that matters, or should I lighten it up?

Having decided to take a seat and broken up with Mr. Fermina, I'm going to put a vegetable-centric dish on the plate with a nutritional balance in mind.

That's how when I headed to the table, Mr. Fermina was already waiting.

"So... ah! Welcome back, Ash!

Mr. Fermina, speaking intimately to the girl sitting in the nearby seat, turned to me as she rocked the red ponytail.

"Oh, my God, is Ash-kun a snack?

Look at my lunch, Mr. Fermina says that.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You have to eat more or you won't be strong! Meals are a source of power!

With that said, Mr. Fermina makes me try to make a force kobu.

I haven't known him for ten minutes, but I know very well that Mr. Fermina is an uninformed type.

To me, Mr. Fermina is a serious contender.

I mean 'enemies'...... you've been spoken to so intimately, you can't turn hostile.

Would you like to have a conversation with Mr. Fermina right now, as the switch of consciousness is just before the battle?

"Isn't that kind of Mr. Fermina eating too much?

Four plates bigger than mine.

All of it had a pile of meat on it.

It's not how much you eat in one meal like this...

"You've worked your head too hard on the written exam! I'm dying of hunger!

"I see. Is there just so much special today?"

That's right.

There's no way a girl who eats so much can be so stylish.

"Yeah, it's a lot today! It's usually just three plates!

"Because that's still a lot!

How can you stay in that shape if you eat so much?

Is that your chest? Is that the most nourishing thing you've got on your chest?

"Here you go!

I can't stand it, Mr. Fermina disappoints in meat in things like that.

chew and drink very well with your cheeks swollen to your pampers,

"Ash-kun is an integrator, isn't he?

"Sort of. What's wrong with that?

"I asked Dr. Elena. Yikes! Ash-kun said it was amazing! You can't bring the content of the integration exam to the outside world, so all you could tell me was that it was' amazing '!

Dr. Elena is a young woman who was an exam supervisor for a secondary exam.

"I'm glad you told me how it was amazing"

Mr. Fermina will stare me in the eye and ask.

I see.

Mr. Fermina invited me to dinner to gather information about Ash Arkvald.

So you don't have to answer honestly.

"That's what you'll find out if you actually fight it"

"So is that. Hey."

Mr. Fermina didn't break his spare grin.

Whether you have information or not, you mean you're confident you can beat me.

"Yes, then it's Ash's turn to ask questions."

"Me?

"Ugh. It's not fair that I asked you a question. Come on - any question is batchy!

"So... since when is Mr. Fermina in the advanced class?

"Since the first day of school. Yikes. I'm a privileged student. I've never lost before!

"That's amazing."

"Isn't that right? This is one of my two brags."

Mr. Fermina blushes and cheeks at the meat.

... I'm done eating one plate at some point.

"If I win, I'll be one proud, but that's why you don't resent me, okay?

"Haha. Do I look like such a woman? Don't worry, I don't resent losing! If you resent me, you resent my weakness!

Mr. Fermina laughs lavishly and eats meat lavishly.

... I don't know, you have a very pleasant personality, this one.

Win or lose, you're going to feel refreshed.

"I'm glad your opponent is Mr. Fermina."

"Whoa! I'm glad you said the dialogue so far this year. I'll be in third place in the dialogue rankings!

Mr. Fermina laughs with real pleasure.

The reason for joy is speculative.

Ordinary students think serious battles with Mr. Fermina are unfortunate.

That would positively receive 'Matches with advanced classes will be a study' if it were a practice match.

But this is an important promotion exam.

It's normal to want to fight an understated opponent and win easily if you can.

They thought it was an 'unfortunate thing' to compete with yourself, and Mr. Fermina wouldn't feel very good either.

"By the way, I wish Ash-kun was stronger than me."

"... does Mr. Fermina want to lose?

"I want to win."

And Mr. Fermina says with a serious face.

"Then why would you want to fight Kamikami?

"I want to join the Magic Knights when I graduate from college and protect everyone I love from demons."

When it comes to the Magic Knights, they are the elite among the elite who can only join a brilliant wizard.

There will be variations in strength depending on the department...... Mr. Fermina. A level wizard would be able to join the group even with his current strength.

"Any demon will be strong enough to defeat your opponent with a single blow. That's my goal until graduation."

It seems that Mr. Fermina is not aiming to 'join the Magic Knights', but to 'protect humanity from demonic threats'.

Then I've never been stronger.

"You can't be strong enough to defeat one weaker than yourself, can you? I fight one much stronger than myself, I know how immature I am, I work hard to spring my penance, I get stronger."

I see. I see why Mr. Fermina wants to fight the mighty enemy.

Because I've always wanted to be a big wizard like my master (though I was really a militant) and I've been trying my best to train.

Mr. Fermina is also looking for someone to target.

And you set yourself a goal to beat that one until you graduate, and you work harder than ever.

I was more and more fond of Mr. Fermina, who was not just satisfied with being in the advanced class and striving for further heights.

After the promotion exam, I really want to continue interacting.

"Mr. Fermina, do I look strong?

"Hmmm...... don't you look strong"

"Oh well."

"Oh, but personally, I really liked Ash-kun."

"Why not?

"'Cause I was lucky to be fighting me and I said," Ash is the first person I've ever met. Don't think Ash will be stronger and stronger in the future. I love hard working people. "

That's what he says in the light, and Mr. Fermina carries the meat to his mouth.

"If that's what you mean, I like Mr. Fermina, too."

Becha, and the meat fell on the plate.

"... Huh?

Mr. Fermina is eye-pointing.

Beautiful skin is dyed red as it looks.

... Is that it?

Did I say something weird?

"Hey, what are you saying all of a sudden!? Ashkun wants to marry me!?"

"I didn't say a word about that!?"

"No, you can't! We'll have to get to know each other a little bit later!?"

"Listen to one!? What I'm saying is, 'I like Mr. Fermina's personality'!

You finally solved the misunderstanding, Mr. Fermina said, "Hey, I see!" He convinced me.

"Oh, my God! That's right! Haha, I'm sorry I misunderstood you. Damn it, I've been fucked up for the first time since I was born."

"I didn't confess, though. I mean, have you never been confessed? What a surprise."

"Yes, surprisingly, that means I'm not so cute as to be confessed day after day!? That's the first time I've been told to face that! Looks like they're proposing something!

Mr. Fermina flashes a reddish face in the palm of his hand.

"Anyway, that's why. Let's play a game we don't regret each other."

On the other hand, it's fun to talk to Mr. Fermina, because I'm so tired, I'll sum up the conversation properly.

"Yeah. Win or lose. No grudges! Personally, I don't want Ash to hate me!

Even as he blushed, he was Mr. Fermina with a clear grin.
