Now, I'm at the entrance ceremony.

　When I arrived at the venue, I was shown to my seat by an attendant.
　The seats were arranged by class.

　It seemed we were in a class of one.
　And, to my delight, Sherry and Leena were in the same class.

　By the way, this school has three classes.
　They don't change classes until the third grade, and then when you reach the fourth grade, you take a placement test and are divided into four classes: S, A, B, and C.
　After that, the students are divided into four classes (S, A, B, and C) and they are given an exam every six months until the end of the 6th grade.
　As long as all three of you always get good grades, you should be fine.

　And then the entrance ceremony began.

　Every seat in the hall was filled.
　There were about 25 students per class, and I think there were about 70-80 new students in total.

　After the ceremony began, the principal began to greet the students.

　The principal was fat and had a lonely look on his face.

Maybe it's to celebrate your entrance, or maybe it's just because it's a beautiful day today.
　Eh~ To all 73 students, Eh~ Congratulations on your enrollment.
　I'm sure you are all really looking forward to your school life.
　I have three requests for you guys.
　The first one is~~ Please find at least one thing you are good at.
　It doesn't matter if it's magic, swordsmanship or study or whatever you are good at, please find one thing you are good at.
　If you find something you are good at, you will naturally gain confidence and it will be useful in your future life.
　I'll tell you what the second thing is.
　Oh!　You're freaking me out!
　I can't wait for it to be over: .......

　The principal's story is so long.
　When the story is about to end, he always connects it all with a "huh".
　The story didn't end at three.

　While I was thinking that, the student representative was about to speak.
　The student representative was the current student president and a 6th grade senior.

First of all, congratulations on entering this school. My name is Bart Lefebvre, and I'm the student body president of the school.
　There is only one thing that I would like to see in your life at this school: work hard.
　Work hard. It is a waste of time to just look at other people with envy and not try to do anything.
　You have to make an effort to catch up with and overtake them. If you do so, the results will surely come to you.
　Lastly, if you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to ask us to help you.
　Unlike some principals, the student body president gave a concise and substantial speech.

　When he finished his speech, students, teachers and parents in the audience applauded in unison.
　There was a big difference from the principal's speech.

　After the student representative speech, the new student representative speech was given.

　Every year, the representative is the student whose parents are of the highest noble class.
　This year it's Sherry.

　Sherry takes the stage.
　You could see the tension in her face.
"Our freshman representative, Shelia Vector, is here. First of all, thank you, Principal Burt, for this informative talk. I will keep their words in mind as I move forward in my school life.
　And to all the new students, I look forward to working with you. Let's have a good school life together.
　Yeah, you didn't bite your lip off.
　The audience erupted in applause.

　By the way, Sherry has been practicing for about a week now for this greeting.
　Leena and I have heard it so many times through telepathic communication that I'm pretty sure I could say it without looking at anything.

　After Sherry finished speaking, the ceremony was over and we were escorted to our classrooms.

　As I entered the classroom, I saw ......
　Besides Sherry and Leena, there were a few other faces I recognized.

'Hey, Leo. It's been a month.

How are you, Frank? How are you doing?
　The guy who talked to me was Frank.
　I hadn't seen Frank since Sherry's birthday party.

It's nice to see so many people in your class.

Yeah. I don't want to be separated for three years.



Yes.
　It's true that if we weren't in the same class, there's a chance we'd have been separated for three years...
　Well, the emperor probably kept us the same for the class division anyway.

　Thinking about that.
Have a seat.
　A loud, stocky man walked into the classroom.

　After making sure everyone was in their seats, the man stood at the podium and began to speak.
"I'll be your teacher for three years, Gil. I'm an ex-adventurer who will be teaching the boys swordsmanship. Feel free to come to me for anything you need.

Yes, sir.
　Everyone in the classroom responds in unison.

''Okay, Shelia, let's take turns introducing ourselves.
　Ooh, introductions.
　At the start of school, you have to introduce yourself.

　Shelly was the first to be named, and she stood up and spoke to her classmates.
"I'm Sherria. I'm Sheria. I'm hoping to get to know you all a little better.
　That was easier than I thought it would be.
　Can't you put in a few more of your favorite things?

Well, ...... I'm Frank. It's nice to meet you.
　You're shorter than Shelly!

　It's my turn.
　Give me some time to think.
"Leons. It's nice if you call me Leo. I enjoy reading. Well, feel free to talk to me. It's nice to meet you!
　Yeah. ...... Is this kind of thing okay?

　The classmates continued to introduce themselves, and then it was Leena's turn.
'I'm Rihanna . I hope you'll get to know me. It's nice to meet you.
　Leena...... You had time to do more, so let's do more: .......
　After all, I'm the longest.

'Okay, you're done . You should be able to talk to all of your classmates a little bit more from now on, since no one could remember everyone's faces and names just by introducing themselves now.

Yes, sir.


So we're breaking up for today.
　And with that, Dr. Gil left the room.

　Then the classmates get up and go to gather around Sherry: .......
　What's going on?

　I was watching my classmates.
It's a pleasure to work with you, Your Highness.
　or something like that
My name is __________. Please make friends.
　And so on.

　If you can talk that much, you should have worked hard earlier.

　With that in mind, I looked around the classroom ...... to see a man other than Frank and Lina who was not interested in Sherry and was leaving.
　I think his name was Hermann.

　I'm just curious, so I'll talk to him.
Nice to meet you, Hermann, isn't that right?

Hi. Nice to meet you, Herman.
　Did I scare you?

Why doesn't Hermann go to Sherry's?

'What? Was it the one you had to go to?

No, I'm not. I'm just wondering why you're not going.

That's because I'm not that interested in you, Princess.
　That's a bit of a problem for me.

Oh, really. And you don't have to use honorific language as your classmate.

That's what I've been told: ......
　I got a confused look on my face.
　Is that too much to ask?

All right. Let's just take it one step at a time.
　It'll heal itself over time.

Okay, I understand. Good luck in the future.
　Then he bowed.

"Uh-huh.
　This is definitely not going to fix itself.

　Then I said goodbye to Hermann and turned to Shelly.
　Shelly was already looking tired.

　Can't stop your classmate from trying to get to know Sherry?


　But the poor kid needs to be stopped.

Come on, guys. It's time to put an end to this. Shelly can't go home even if she wanted to.

'Master Leo!　Yes, I understand. Excuse me.
　One of the group said, and they all backed away from Shelley in a hurry.

'Thanks for the help,'

No, no, good job. So are you ready to go?

Yes.

　And so the first day of school was over.


In those days.
　Right now, there's a meeting between the new homeroom teachers and the principal.

"Eh~ Was there any problem as of today?
　The principal questioned the teachers.

"We didn't have a problem with it.
　And Dr. Gill.
Yes, nothing.
　And a female teacher.
I don't have any classes.
　And a male teacher.
　They reported back to me in turn.

That's good to hear. I'm especially worried about the first group, since they're the class that's been called into question by the Emperor. Is it okay that the saint's granddaughter came in on short notice?

I didn't have any problems with that either.

Yeah, well, I'm sure Dr. Gil can handle it.

Thank you.
