Chapter 5 - Alicia's reappearance!

The other party was noticeably silent upon hearing my question, understandably so, after all, such a question would more or less involve the political situation of their country, and revealing it to an outsider like me would not be a good idea anyway.
"If it's inconvenient..."
"No, I do want to win per se, does that make sense to you?"
"........"
Princess Snow's eyes were filled with determination, and for some reason, I seemed to be able to feel the air coming from her. Maybe this is the strength of royalty.
I smiled.
"I see, let's formulate a battle strategy after finding time to confirm your fighting style."
I don't know if the experience of standing that I've accumulated from playing games in the past will be useful, but even though this is an RPG world, it's still a question if the previous experience works at such a high level of realism.
"Then let's start this afternoon!"
Princess Cheryl said immediately.
"This afternoon..."
Already got a date with Hill....
"I'll talk to Hill, don't worry."
Mary-sensei said immediately.
"...Okay, then, please. I'll see you later then, Princess Cheryl."
I gave them a mage salute and left the office quickly.
"Grade school tournament? It's time to make money again."
I had just finished talking about the age contest when Lanya squealed excitedly.
"Stop it! Don't you have a foul for using those dangerous items?"
"No oh~ Each person can carry a magic item for each battle, hahaha, I'll go prepare the materials first."
After saying that, Ranya ran out of the activity room like the wind, and the door slammed shut.
As a result, only me and Yabai, who was reading a book, were left in the room.
By the way, this is the lunch break club established by the three strongest people in the academy, yes, it's called the lunch break club, because they usually just rest in the activity room, it's the only activity here.
Of course, the people in the academy preferred to call this club the 'Strongest Blue, White and Pink Club', which was quite apt.
"The competition inside the academy is nothing in itself, but something like this loses its meaning once it's hooked up with some rights."
Yabai said without looking up, she was probably referring to what I said about teaming up with Princess Snow.
"I can't help it, that's reality. By the way, has Saint-senpai ever participated in a grade school tournament before?"
"No, because I've been at this school less than a year."
"Less than a year?"
"Yes, as you can see, I am a Paladin, and this is a magic academy. I'm only here to further my knowledge of magic, not to learn it. I belong to the Light Church of Wright, and it is not any academy. Furthermore, I don't have a class and I can't attend."
"That's a pity, but if Saint Senior had participated, the other guys wouldn't have had any chance of winning, right?"
"...Can that Saint Senior or something not be called that way, just call me Yabai just like you call Ranya and the others, Saint Senior or something, it sounds strange ah."
"Yes, Senior Yabai."
"The point is to remove the word senpai ah!"
"Senior you're getting mad again oh."
"You bastard..."
She shook her head and returned her attention to the book, ignoring me.
However, I gave up, because compared to the others, Yabaku was the one who was a bit stiff, and it was hard to joke with her about her daily routine. It's hard to joke with her. I've been working on this for a month now, but she'll get mad if I go too far.
And even though this guy has always been stiff....
But it's exceptionally easy to hold back a tantrum, and if the other person really gets into such a state when you say 'you're doing this but against the will of God', the other person will immediately calm down.
Although I don't want to admit it, I want to say that God your name is too good to be true, and I will definitely use your name to the fullest.
We still have a few hours until the actual field opens in the afternoon, so let's rest inside the activity room for a while before then.
Opening the skill bar, I clicked on the meditation skill.
Meditation, which accelerates the recovery of blood and magic value, is interrupted when attacked. The additional effect is that every hour of sustained meditation can increase the magic limit by 2 points, and now without the Wizard Profession Plus, I can only rely on this method to raise my magic limit, otherwise I'll immediately be empty blue after a few magic.
Do you think you can use magic by willpower? I'm not the man with the drill.
So, closing my eyes, I started my meditation. It's actually sleep for me, after all, the skill is automatically released and has nothing to do with what I do per se. That's one of my advantages.
........
"Eh? Why are you here?"
"Still asleep? Are you kidding me, but an idiot..."
"Looks like the usual methods won't wake you up, no way..."
Suddenly I hear something strange, but it's not even the next full hour yet, and quitting magic now won't raise the value.
Snap.
My meditation was suddenly interrupted while my face hurt hotly.
"Are you crazy! I'm meditating!"
I yelled at the person in front of me.
"I tried to stop it, but...it couldn't be helped...she said it wouldn't matter if I interrupted your meditation."
Next to me Yabai said with an apology.
"Why does it not matter, wasting me for an hour..."
Eh? Yabai was next to it, who was that in front?
I turned my head, and what caught my eye was the white hair illuminated by the setting sun.
And a pair of familiar ponytails.
"E...Alicia?"
"Hahaha, looks like you guy still remembers me."
The guy who appeared in front of me was actually another person I'd met in the Novice Village - Fire Dual Swordsman Alicia!
