"Is there one at Rosangrila Academy of Magic?

　I didn't know that, so I was surprised.

　It was a mistake on my part.
　I hadn't been paying much attention to the other students.

"Hmm.
Why does a nobleman from the Empire go to a magic academy in the capital?　You should have gone to Disalia. ......

　It's not as if he didn't pass the entrance exam.
　Rosan Lira has lost ten consecutive games in the exchange war, and generally speaking, Disalia is considered to be the better team.

　Even if they don't pass the exam, they are still powerful nobles.
　Even if he doesn't pass the exam, he is a powerful aristocrat, and he could probably force one of his students into it.

"It's called a complicated family situation.
"Complicated?
I'm afraid I can't tell you much more. If you want to know, you'll have to ask him.

　It's all about privacy, isn't it?

　Interesting.
　I was thinking of ...... going to the empire, but if he is in the capital, it will be quicker and more peaceful.
　I'd like to meet this student of House Fosind.

"So, ......, what class is this student in?
"Third class. He's a freshman, like Kurt and his friends.
What's her name, ......?
Cynthia. Cynthia Fosindo. Is that enough for you?
Yeah. Thank you very much.

　Thank you.

　I've got work to do.
　Then I imagined a student named Cynthia as I rocked in the carriage.

　.

　Back in King's Landing, I immediately headed to the Magic Academy building.
　It had only been two weeks since I'd been away from King's Landing, but I felt quite nostalgic.

The classroom for the Third class is located two doors down from the First class I'm in.


"Can you tell me where this Cynthia girl is?


　I called out to a nearby student who seemed to be in the Third class.

"Cynthia?　Cynthia can be found at ....... She's the girl reading by the window.

　I looked in the direction the girl was pointing, and sure enough, I saw a student who looked like her.

Thank you.
You wanted to see Cynthia?
Yeah.
I'd advise you not to get involved with ...... Cynthia too much, okay?

　The student kept his voice low.

"Huh?　Why?
"Nothing!　But I think you'll find out soon enough!

　But I'm sure you'll find out soon enough!" And in a panic, the student backed away from me.
　Well, I guess we'll just have to ask Cynthia herself.

　I walked into the third classroom and walked up to Cynthia.


"Are you Cynthia?


　The girl - Cynthia - turns to me.

　She's a small girl.
　She reminds me of a flower swaying fragilely, and if I take my eyes off her, she'll disappear.

"Ah ......

　Cynthia couldn't seem to get a word in edgewise when I spoke to her.

I'd like to talk to you about something. ......
"......!
What?　Wait, ......!

　I reached for her hand, but Cynthia got up from her chair faster than I could and ran away from the classroom.
　I didn't expect her to run away, so I didn't react fast enough.

"...... of course. I'm coming after you.

　The sooner we talk about it, the smoother it will be when we think about it later.

　I hurried after Cynthia.
　Cynthia's footsteps were fast, and she was approaching the corridor that led to the other building where the second grade classrooms were located.
　As soon as Cynthia stepped into the hallway, she turned around and closed the glass door.

"Wow, ......, that's pretty funny.

　Now, this girl Cynthia.
　You've just magically locked the door in a split second.

　Pretty quick.
　There's a dummy in the magic formula, and it might be difficult for the average person to solve it.
　Moreover, ...... just now I saw a magic color.

　It's green magic.
　It's good for trapping, disarming and assisting magic.
　I've never seen it before in this school.



　But .

"I guess it's a point down that I can't activate the spell without touching the target.

　He calmly analyzed the situation and unlocked the door with magic before reaching it while running.

　Cynthia's magic was quite accurate, but she needed to touch the object to make it work.
　I guess she can't transfer her magic well.
　However, with a little more training, she would be able to lock the door even while running, without touching it as she did now.

Wait!

　I call out as I run.
　For a moment, Cynthia turned her head and muttered, "What ......? Cynthia turned around and muttered, "What ?" but quickly turned around and continued running.

　...... I don't think she's going to stop then.

　It's no use.
　I activated my body-enhancing magic, Rise Power.
　I overtook Cynthia at once and leapt forward.

"Aah!

　I must have startled her with my sudden leap forward.
　Cynthia let out a short scream and fell on her butt.

　Well, it looks like she's going to listen to me.
　I looked down at her and continued.

I looked down at her and continued, "Now, let's hear what you have to say.
