Two women, panting and sweating, spreading their girlish scent without even realizing it.

“How about it? Is it worth it?”

“So much… !!”

The Academy’s training hall, the place where countless sword battles took place.

The girl with silky purple hair stomped on the floor, kicking up dust, her eyes flashing, and for a moment she was throwing her entire body towards the gap left by her opponent.

However, as if it were a trap, the opponent’s sword, bent in a strange trajectory, closed the gap.

“Keuheuk… !!”

She belatedly raised her sword in a defensive stance, but perhaps it was because she was late in changing her stance.

In the end, the girl ended up kneeling on the spot as she let go of the shaking sword due to the opponent’s heavy counter hitting the side of her sword.

And the girl bit her lip and let out a soft sigh as the sword flew out of her hand, flying through the sky and crashing into the ground as if splitting the ground behind her.

“lost… … ”

“Excellent… It would be a lie if I said that.

If you cannot predict the opponent’s counterattack, another option is to push harder.

If you try to defend yourself clumsily, you might end up in the same situation as before.

However, the reaction speed and defense judgment itself were not bad.

If it were a real fight, a quicker decision would be needed.

The option of defense would at least not result in loss of life.

But there is no guarantee that it will bring victory.”

Anne, the girl who stood up from her seat at the sound of her well-intentioned but bitter voice, turned around and pulled out the sword from the ground.

A silver-white blade that anyone can see is a high-quality item.

A mechanical long sword whose interior is made up of numerous mechanical devices, making it a piece of work that combines portability and aesthetics.

Although it had someone else’s name engraved on it, Anne, who had not yet returned it to its owner, was becoming stronger by it.

It’s been a week since they declared war on Lucia.

Although she doesn’t know it, Vivian is busy running the store, and Carla and Yui are caught up in it.

Anne, who devoted herself to training following in the footsteps of her nemesis Lucia, was improving her skills day by day.

Repeatedly getting hit with a sword and rolling on the floor.

However, the repeated pain was instilling in Anne, who had solid basic skills, the sense of real combat in her body through constant training alone.

“Still, if you compare it at first…

It has increased to an amazing level.

You should be proud of that.”

Lucia, who ended up praising Anne for responding accurately to her attack for the first time in a week, seemed to be sheathing her sword with a smile.

Anne, who was looking at Lucia with a questioning expression, looked at Lucia’s sword and asked a question.

“Is this all for today… ?”

“No, just rest for now.

Proper rest is also part of training.”

“Ah… … ”

As expected, I didn’t expect Lucia to think about ending training already.

I was confused for a moment when I saw him suddenly retrieve the sword.

However, Anne found out later that what seemed to be another reason also played a role.

The harmonious voices of people walking into the training hall could be heard through the entrance.

“As expected, the Department of Magic Design is difficult…

Actually, even if you listen to it, you won’t know anything, what is it, haha!!”

“These words are difficult for people who don’t know anything to hear for the first time.

Instead, you are an associate professor in the Department of Swordsmanship, right?

I’m sure it would be difficult for me to even hold a sword. Woohoo!!”

This is definitely a familiar face to Academy students, as they usually meet each other during lead activities every morning before school.

And the man who is the most precious person to the two women who are desperate for love.

Edward was seen walking into the gym with someone.

Beautiful long gray-white hair that reaches down to the waist and unique gray eyes…

Even though she covers her body with a loose robe, she has a slender body that cannot be hidden.

And the shadow of fatigue on his face gives him a sickly feeling.

Nevertheless, the woman who gave it even more mystery was Heloise de Pantigny, a full professor in the Department of Magical Design.

Anne’s heart sank at the sight of her and Edward carrying a small bundle that looked like a lunch box, as if they were in a loving relationship.

However, the person on the other side must have discovered them first, as they were greeted with a bright greeting.

“Huh? Anne with the assistant!!

Are you practicing hard even though it’s vacation?”

“Associate Professor Romenberg, it’s a good day.

I guess you came to eat?”

Seeing Lucia gently stepping in front of Anne, who was keeping her mouth shut, and returning her greeting, Anne was also bowing.

However, Edward, who was in a state of great happiness, seemed to be saying something while smiling a little awkwardly.

Next to me is my current lover, a female professor whom I love with all my heart.

In front of him was a student with whom he had an affair, who was giving him pleasure by secretly putting his cock in his mouth.

And, obliquely, a student who has a passionate crush on him, even though he doesn’t know the truth yet.

Was this the best expression a man could show when faced with such a dangerous situation?

“Aha… haha… !! Was it too obvious?

For the first time in a while, Professor Eloise prepared a lunch box.

When I was thinking about where to eat, I thought the gymnasium would be quiet.

Are you sorry if I interrupted your training?”

“It’s okay because I’m taking a break.

Hello, Professor Fantigny?

We get to see each other again?”

“Please call me Eloise. Miss Lucia.

Are you the new assistant professor of the Swordsmanship Department?

I think the last time we met, I was just a student.

Since the last time I saw it, I’ve heard a lot from the associate professor.

You probably don’t know how much I praise you on a regular basis, right?”

“That would be too much praise.

Because I like to cause trouble.

The associate professor became an accomplice and watched over me more than once.

I think he was probably the most difficult student.”

It was clearly a deep remark, but as if she did not understand its meaning at all, Héloïse was making a humorous expression as if she was amused.

“Hehe… Is there any teacher who wouldn’t like students who are growing older?

You will definitely become a great adult.”

“Oh, I guess I interrupted you.

We will be gone for a while.”

“Umm… As long as it’s not necessary… … ”

“It’s meal time.

I also can’t hate my juniors who are growing up.

I’m thinking of buying a meal in advance.”

“Umm… If that’s the case… …

Make it a pleasant meal.”

“Of course. Eggplant, junior. Junior… ?”

Anne seemed to be frozen in place, with her head down and not moving.

The end of Anne’s gaze was all at the feet of her lover, Héloïse.

Lucia’s eyes were also deepening as she watched that scene.

‘You should also know how to control your emotions.’

The moment when Lucia tried to press Anne again.

There were two people who appeared at the entrance of the training hall where the voices were heard again.

“Oh… Here… The academy has also improved…

Back in my day, there were only three training centers… ”

“Is that so? I also don’t know.

Today is my first time looking for something like this… ”

“You may not know that the department is different, right?

Since ancient times, it has been the national rule that different departments do not know each other well.

ah!! It is there!! student!! Your teacher has arrived!!”

“Uh… … Uh… ?”

This time, it was a person with dark blonde hair and a strong body waving at the entrance to the training ground.

Folcinella, a woman with a healthy body reminiscent of martial arts, appeared out of nowhere.

Anne’s eyes widened as she noticed a person walking cautiously next to her, and a loud cry escaped her mouth without her knowledge.

“Sister… !!”

Could it be that Polcinella, who was wandering around the academy, saw Marie, who looked very similar to Anne, and spoke to her?

Marie was also carrying a bundle of something. Anne ran towards Marie, who had always brought a packed lunch since she couldn’t afford to eat out, and smiled brightly.

“Are you working hard, Anne?

I guess I forgot this.

I also came to pick it up while I was at the academy.

Then he spoke to me?

Ah, Professor Héloïse! Hello?”

“Miss Monehen? ah!!

I thought they looked similar somehow!!

So you two were sisters?”

I felt so empty today, I never thought I would have forgotten my lunch box.

Did that mean that I was just practicing without being distracted by anything else?

And, as befits professors and students from the same Department of Magical Design, Marie and Eloise, who seemed to know each other, gave a warm greeting.

“Yo… yo. this!! I heard that the teacher has come, but all I can see is the lunch box!!”

“Ugh… !! Yes, my dear… By the way, Nilowo… … ?”

Anne was trying to avoid her eyes at Polcinella’s playful behavior of pinching Anne’s cheeks to stretch them out.

However, Anne’s eyes were filled with surprise at the unexpected answer.

“Didn’t you know? I’m from here too, right?

You could come back to your alma mater, right?

It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so things have changed.

for a moment… … you… … ”

Anne’s gaze turned to the people behind her, and Polcinella, who was looking at someone thoughtfully for a moment, soon grinned and struck that person on the back.

“Edward!! You idiot!!

what!! Did you become a professor? I succeeded!!”

“Nell… ? Polcinella?

How did you get here…

What happened?

I heard it’s in full swing on the front lines?”

“Fighting and lifting others up is fun if you have to do it for a day or two.

I’m tired of doing it for several years.

So I came down for a while.

I was doing some training at the Paulo Pavilion.

Right now, I’m helping out with some official work.”

The two look closer than expected.

Just like Anne, who was dumbfounded, Héloïse, with a blank expression on her face, seemed to be asking a question.

“You two know each other… ?”

“Of course, right? Are you an alumnus of the Department of Swordsmanship?

I was in class A and Edward was in class B, right?

Even though we are in different classes, we train together, right?

We somehow became friends, maybe?”

“Let’s speak clearly. You were chasing me.

Rather than that, it was called the Paulo Pavilion… … ?

if… Was it the last time we went there? ?”

If you think about it, it was Edward who had already been to the Paulo Pavilion in the role of a guide teacher.

Edward tilted his head and asked a question, wondering if it was strange that he couldn’t find Polcinella.

“Of course, right?

It was when the Academy students came as a group, right?

Didn’t you meet our student there?

Gulp Gulp!! Our cute student!!

How cute it was when it was so green!!

I hope you grow up quickly and follow in your footsteps!!”

“Hiik!!”

However, in a strange way, his eyes seemed to close as if he was dizzy from Folcinella’s reaction, which was so confident.

“Ha… I never dreamed… …

Yesterday and yesterday, getting stuck somewhere is top-notch…

At that time, I only led the class, but I didn’t know the details because I left it to the teaching assistant out of experience.

So, what are you doing now?”

“The public security police department asked me to collaborate with you?

Is there a lot going on in the back alleys these days?

So, I’m hanging out with Deborah!!

Would you say it was a royal tour that I did every other time while I was on the front lines?”

If all goes as planned, Polcinella would have to return to the front line sooner or later.

But she, who likes to live her own life, does not want to go back to that place yet.

Polcinella was so attached to Deborah that she asked her to send a letter of cooperation to the front line, saying that she would help the security police department with its work.

In fact, she was not lying because she was going to help the Public Security Police Department with its work…

“Deborah? Are you talking about the Deborah I know?”

Of course, Anne was not the only one surprised by the unexpected name.

As for Deborah, she has long become quite a celebrity among those who pay even a little attention to school news, especially due to the recent events that have occurred at the academy.

The expressions on everyone’s faces except Marie, who was busy studying, were turning hard as they wondered if she knew.

“That’s right? Is there another Deborah besides that one?”

“Oh my god… Going out ‘hanging out’ with Deborah…

Actually, the old habits still remain.

Who else would hold your reins but Deborah… ”

“Aren’t you treating people too much like trouble makers!?

Is there a citizen as exemplary as me?

Deborah is really happy that I helped her?”

“How is it that among all those long words, there is not a single correct word…? ha…

If you are a model citizen, are the others saints who achieved enlightenment through meditation?

Since long ago, whenever you came into our class, Deborah always ran away to avoid you.

Isn’t that why you and I, who are half different from each other, became acquaintances?

These days, you are even more of a legend because you made the legendary top investigator of the Public Security Police Department run away like a criminal.”

Anne’s expression was darkening as she realized the greatness(?) of her teacher that she did not want to know about Polcinella’s legendary deeds, which were only told of ghost stories.

‘It’s true that he’s definitely a grateful person, but… … ‘

When you actually look at break-even, is it because you feel like you have more losses than profits?

“Ah~ It’s embarrassing if you praise too much~

But who is this person?”

“This is full professor Héloïse de Pantigny of the Department of Magical Design… ”

As Edward finally introduced Heloise, an ominous smile appeared on the lips of Polcinella, who was looking at the two with a puzzled expression.

Accordingly, I think I can guess what Edward must have felt like during his school days.

Seeing that she was making a not-so-good expression, she seemed to have a good time before anyone could stop Polcinella.

“Ah!! I think I know!! Are you a lover?

at las… !! Edward was like that too… !!

Did you say Eloise? Please take care of Edward!!

I heard you were really worried about who would take you?

He’s a weird guy, but he’s still a nice guy, so I’m sure they’ll get along well!!”

“Are you in a position to say something like that?

You should get married first, man.”

– Growling…

At the sudden growling sound, everyone’s attention was drawn to the back.

Anne, the girl standing at the epicenter of the sound, was clutching her stomach, not knowing how to read the atmosphere, and biting her lip with an expression as if the world had come to ruin.

Accordingly, Marie, who was standing next to him, gently lifted the bundle she was holding in her hand and offered an invitation to the people with an awkward smile.

“I… Let’s start with eating… … ?

I prepared leisurely just in case… … ”
