It was the day of the "exchange camp" with the Disalia Magic Academy of the Empire.

　In detail, thirty selected members from the first to third year students from the capital side would participate.
　The dates were three days and two nights.

　Even though it's an annual event, the fact that it's being held despite the fact that there's a history with the capital ...... makes me think that the Empire is up to something.
　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.


We're here.


　After a long ride in a carriage, we finally arrived in front of the Imperial Disalia Academy.

There are so many people here.

　There are a lot of people here," said Cynthia, looking up at the Disalia Academy of Magic with an indifferent but curious look in her eyes.

"Yes, it is.
"More than King's Landing?
There are more buildings here than in the capital. The buildings are more dense than in the royal capital, which may make it seem crowded.

　The empire hasn't changed much in a thousand years.
　How could it have recovered so much after the demon gods destroyed it?
　The Empire is cowardly and I hate them, but they have a reputation for persistence.
　That's one thing I wish I could learn from them.

"Where are Lara and Marise?

　Cynthia said, looking around.

They wanted to explore the empire before entering the Disalia Academy of Magic.
Didn't Kurt go with you to ......?
He invited me. I was more interested in Disalia Academy for now.

　Well.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before.

　The building looks more expensive than the Rosangrila Academy in King's Landing.
　But there's no warding magic at all.

　This is terrible.
　It can't even withstand a single burst of flame magic.
Although the 《Four Great Sages》 were weak, they also used no-chant magic, and I think the Empire has at least the technology for warding magic.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
　I wish there was someone I could ask. .......


"Hmm?　That uniform ......Oh, well, it looks like the wizards from King's Landing have arrived.


　I was thinking about that when I heard a voice behind me, so I turned around.

Are you a student at ...... the Disalia Academy of Magic?
Yes, I am. But please don't make them the same, even if they are the same students. I'm not like those inferior wizards like you.

　The boy raised his glasses with his index finger.

　I'm surprised.
　I'm surprised that you still think the Empire is better than us after we beat you up so badly in the exchange game.
　What if .......

Hey, uh, .......
My name is Eryk. And you are?
Kurt. What did you guys hear about the principal?　I think he quit. ......

　I'll give you a break.

　I think he quit. ...... I'll try to cover for him. ...... Eryk hears this and crosses his arms.

I'm sure you're familiar with it. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not quitting, but I've been promoted. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been so impressed with your work. It's only natural.

　I'm sure you'll be proud of that.

　Hmm...... information is still being twisted.
　Well, if the students heard that the principal had been executed, they would be upset.
　But a promotion is a laughable story. And to the idiot who believes it without questioning it.

"Well. As you know, we're here for the exchange camp. If you need anything, just let me know.

　He raises his hand and turns his back on Eryk.

　I don't think I need to tell you the truth here.
　Or rather, I didn't really care about that.

　So I started to walk towards the school building, but

"Wait!

　Eryk stopped me.

That's not the place for you to be.
What do you mean?

　What do you mean?" It's strange that I'm not allowed to set foot in a place where I've come for an exchange camp.
　Erik continued with a condescending look at me.

I was against the exchange camp this year. Why do we have to let inferior wizards from King's Landing into our sanctuary ...... every year?　It's going to get dirty. Please go back to King's Landing right now.

　I'm sorry.
　I want to let out a sigh.

　If you look around you, you will see that the students in their Disalia Magic Academy uniforms are also laughing.
　Eriq is an extreme thinker, but I guess everyone agrees on the basics.



Whatever you say, I'm going to take a look inside the school. I'm curious to see what it's like.
If you want to go in, you'll have to beat me first.

　Eryk steps in front of us, blocking the way.
　He's so stupid, it's starting to hurt my head.

What's your magic, by the way?
"You mean the magic color?　I'm golden. ...... No, I'm defective.
Look!　The wizards of King's Landing are inferior!　I'm a perfect magician. I'm a perfect magician. There's no way a defective magician can beat a perfect magician.

　Eerik said with a triumphant look on his face.

　Do these people still believe in the false common sense of magic?
　I don't even want to take them seriously.

　But I can't even enter the school building without getting rid of them.
　I don't have a choice.

Cynthia, let's go.
"Yeah.

　I pulled Cynthia's hand and tried to walk past Eryk.

"Wait. Not until you beat me. ......

　Eryk immediately reached out to hold us back.

"No, that's ridiculous. You can't move your body. ......?

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to try.

"Restraint magic.
"Restraint ...... magic?

　Eryk looks at me like he's trying to figure it out.

"Yes. What if it's not tight enough?　It's a faulty spell. It's a faulty magic. You're the one with all the magic power, you should be able to break it.
I'm not sure what you're doing ...... ah ah ah!

　I'm not sure what to do.

　Crack.
　The sound of bones creaking could be heard all the way up here.

"Hmm, was that too much?

　Eriq must be feeling the pain of being squeezed by a giant right now.

Aaahhhh!

　The screams were getting too loud, so I lifted the spell.
　Then Eriq, who had been released from his restraining spell, lay down on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and fainted.

It's only a magical restraint,......, but he's no better than his mouth.

　When I looked around, I saw that Eryk had been taken aback by the situation.
　No one is going to try to pass us off like Eryk.

What do you think, Cynthia?
Pity ...... that she's so fearless against Kurt.
Yeah.
He's brave. ......?
Courage?　No, he's not. This is recklessness.
"Hmm.

　Cynthia gave a small laugh.
　We left her alone and headed back towards the school building.
