Chapter 8 : Did They Only Gather Unusual Guys?

A golden opportunity to create Water Supplier No. 2, no, Friend No. 2, had arrived.

If I helped him here and made him see me in a new light?

A Friend No. 2, willing to give up his liver and gallbladder, would be born.

Hiding my sinister intentions, I pointed in a direction with a bright smile to Arden, and he started walking that way.

N-No way, is he just going to suck all the sweetness and leave!?

As I stared at his back with a shocked expression, Ernia, who was next to me, started badmouthing Arden.

Isn’t it badmouthing if you’re talking behind his back?

Arden, as if he heard her say that even the back of his head looked unlucky, stopped walking and turned around.

“Aren’t you coming?”

I thought he was going first, but is he just leading the way? He has manners.

Taking care of the exhausted Ernia, I followed Arden, pushing through the bushes, when Arden ordered us to stop.

“Why suddenly…”

Arden, gesturing for Ernia to be quiet as she was about to speak, pointed somewhere with his finger.

Looking in the direction he was pointing, I saw a large bear wandering around.

Arden took out his staff from his chest and wrote something in the air.

【Let’s go around.】

At those words, I nodded and was about to move slowly when.

Ernia accidentally stepped on a twig, and the bear, looking in our direction, made eye contact with us.

“Damn it, run!”

Arden tried to buy time by casting Magic, but there was one problem.

The fact that there are no ordinary animals among the animals that live near the Magic school Arcane.

And that bear has the most troublesome characteristic of them all.

Fur so tough that even the Magic of a freshman who just entered school can’t do anything about it.

Arden looked flustered as I stepped forward even as the Fireball hit it head-on and it just charged forward.

“Get back!”

“It’s okay.”

I smiled at him, who was flustered, took out my staff (a twig) from my chest, and swung it once.

Then, in an instant, the space we were in changed.

Into a circus.

Various animals performing tricks and countless cheering people surrounded us.

The bear, which had been running towards us, was flustered and looked around, then realized that its appearance had also changed.

Into an adorable-sized bear wearing cute clothes.

“Bear! What are you doing now!?”

The bear, momentarily flustered by the circus ringmaster’s scolding, climbed onto a large ball and began to perform tricks.

Applause poured down on it.

I grabbed Ernia and Arden, who had bewildered expressions in this situation, by the hand to get out of this place.

After taking my startled friends out of there, I let go of their hands and they were staring at me as I looked around.

“Was the Magic you just used Illusion Magic?”

“That was Illusion Magic!? Isn’t Illusion Magic supposed to be a lost Magic, with only the name remaining!?”

“That’s why I’m asking.”

As my friends pressured me, I protested.

“It’s rude to ask for the tricks of magic.”

Friend No. 2 Arden was deep in thought.

“I see. It’s foolish to reveal a lost Magic to others. Anyway, thank you. I won’t forget this favor.”

With those words, Arden went ahead.

“It’s not that way.”

He stopped at my words and stared at me, but what does it mean?

“How long are you going to stand there blankly instead of leaving?”

“Wait a minute. Are you treating our Aris like a subordinate right now?”

Calming the growling Ernia, I pointed in a direction with my finger, and Arden took the lead again this time.

As we moved following him, students from our class began to join us one by one.

Where are they all coming from?

Finally, all 30 members of our class gathered in one place and headed to the dormitory together.

In contrast to the students who were walking and chatting, Ernia, Arden, and I were walking ahead without saying a word.

How should I resolve this awkward atmosphere?

“Come to think of it, I heard that noble families get engaged when they’re young, have you two done that?”

The atmosphere became even darker at my words.

It’s clear that I stepped on a landmine.

But to have such a dark atmosphere at the word engagement, are they perhaps engaged to each other?

Is that why they growl at each other every time they meet? The romance fantasy novels I’ve seen were so sweet that my teeth would rot from all the lovey-dovey stuff?

Looking through my 10 years of romance fantasy novel experience, I thought of a way to escape this awkward situation.

That is to create a common enemy.

“You said it was a light test, but it doesn’t feel light at all.”

“That’s right. Starting with the bear we met just now, it’s not light at all.”

“I agree.”

As the three of us talked about this and that, leading the students, we finally escaped from the forest and were greeted by our professor.

“Everyone worked hard. I’ve never seen an entire class gather together and escape like that, I’m very pleased. Class is dismissed for today.”

With those words, the professor disappeared with a pop!

We, who were staring with dumbfounded expressions, thought that this was fate and moved to the cafeteria with the entire class to have a meal together.

Could it be a scheme by the professor to get us to become friends while suffering together?

“I have a question, where is England?”

Would there be any other members who would accept me with such an open mind in a class-based society?

…Our class must be unique.

Each and every one of them has a very unique personality, could it be that they only gathered students like this to create Class A?

With reasonable suspicion, I arrived at the cafeteria and received food on my tray, but unlike in the morning, the students were receiving a huge amount.

The students emptied their trays without a single complaint, and some even went to get more, as hunger is the best side dish.

As soon as I finished eating and entered the dormitory, I took care of Ernia, who had collapsed on the bed, and prepared for tomorrow’s class, but the freshman lectures were a bit unique.

Lectures from Monday to Thursday.

Club activities are held on Fridays, but was there such a thing?

So much has changed about the normal and difficult difficulties that there is one thing that is slowly making me anxious.

The written exams in the midterm and final exams.

For me, who has memorized all the answers to the written exams through numerous playthroughs, the exam is a piece of cake, but what if the questions change?

To make me study again after giving up on it in school…?

…It’ll work out somehow!

In a room decorated in Gothic style with a soft light illuminating the interior, Professor Millie Allegra was giving a report.

“As you instructed, I have formed Class A with students who all have outstanding personalities. Here is a list of students who have shown outstanding qualities in the test conducted accordingly.”

The headmaster of Magic school Arcane received the documents that Professor Millie Allegra handed over.

Headmaster ‘Artur Grand’ looked through the documents with interested eyes and exclaimed in admiration.

“Oh? They used Illusion Magic? I’m sure this Magic was lost and disappeared.”

“I’ll show you.”

Taking out her staff from her chest and waving it, the image of Aris student using Illusion Magic unfolded like a hologram video.

A unique Magic that only Professor Millie Allegra can use in the current Magic world, which allows her to show what she has seen to others.

In an instant, the scenery changed, and the circus troupe that I had only heard about appeared, performing in the streets, and the scene ended with the summoned beast that had been threatening the student performing tricks.

“Amazing. For a student who just entered school to use such Magic.”

“She has the most outstanding talent among the students who entered this year.”

Looking at Professor Millie Allegra with serious eyes, she bowed her head.

“Please continue to provide proper guidance in the future.”

“I understand, Headmaster.”

With those words, Professor Millie Allegra left the headmaster’s office.

Professor Millie Allegra is trustworthy. Because she loves her students.

However, suspicious movements have been detected in the shadows.

There is a person who is already manipulating public opinion, saying that a Commoner entering Magic school is a challenge to the authority of the nobles.

Should I deal with that person before they do something to our precious student? Or should I promote the student’s growth through this?

Which path is the right one for our student?

From a guiding position, I have to think about all the possibilities and make a judgment.

For our student.

And for the Magic world.
