246-New friends




 
 In July, two new students arrived in our class.

 Rielle, a high elf, and Hinata, a human, came to our class.

 Rielle is Luke's wife and Hinata is Ryushin's girlfriend.

 It seems that Hinata is the first girlfriend that Ryushin has ever had.

 And since my best friend Luke is getting married, I invited all four of them to my mansion to celebrate with all my might.

 As part of the celebration, I arranged for Rielle and Hinata to be admitted to the magic academy.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it.


 The IFLS Magical Academy does not originally admit students in the middle of their studies.

 If there is an exception, it's if you have extraordinary magical talent and the headmaster specially admits you to the academy──.

 In the event of a subterfuge.


 I was on both sides.

 First of all, the H&T Chamber of Commerce provided a large donation to the school in my name. It seemed to be a tax measure, so the accounting department of the chamber of commerce willingly took care of it.

 Next, I asked the Star Spirit King, who was an old acquaintance of the headmaster of the academy, to negotiate with the headmaster.

 Furthermore, he decided to improve Rielle and Hinata's magic sense to the point where they could even pass the regular entrance exam.

 Rielle was a royal of Alheim (the Elven Kingdom) and had the blessing of Sylph, the King of the Wind Spirit, so she had no problem with the skill of using magic.

 It was Hinata who had the hardest time.
 She was, for better or worse, an ordinary person.

 She didn't have the blessings of a spirit or a god, nor had she ever used magic before.

 Her magic power level was about the average of the new students in the magic academy, so she seemed to be able to use magic without problems.

 But in our class, which united all the heretics in the school, it would be difficult for an ordinary person (Hinata) who can use magic normally to get by.


 That's why, when I asked the Star Spirit King to manifest himself in order to negotiate with the headmaster, I had Hinata put a blessing on him.

 Thanks to the Star Spirit King's blessing, she was constantly assisted by the spirits, and Hinata was even able to use advanced magic, even though she hadn't raised her level at all.

 However, that's not enough knowledge and skills, so I trained Hinata with me, Tina, and Luano, the wise man, to teach her magic.

 At the same time, I used the dungeon at the ruins of Bestieth (Beastman's Kingdom) to raise her level.

 As a result...


 In just a month or so, Hinata had become a level 100 advanced mage.

 The amount of magic power has also been enhanced by orders of magnitude.

 There are probably no other students at the Magic Academy who can beat Hinata in a normal fight using magic alone, except for our class.


 Then I also had Hinata learn to use holy attribute magic to stop him when he fights with Ryushin, or when Ryushin turns into a dragon and goes out of control.

 He asked Seira, a former saintess, to help him with this training.

 It seems that Hinata originally had an aptitude for the Holy Attribute as well. Furthermore, the effects of the Star Spirit King's blessing were also added to her, and even though she was a mage, she was able to use holy attribute magic of the saint apprentice level.

 Now, even if Ryushin went on a rampage, Hinata would be able to stop him alone.

 Seeing Seira and Hinata, who had been training in Holy Attribute Magic with Seira, were surrounded by a powerful light, Liu Xin froze.

''Liushin, if you do something too badly in your black dragon form you might be annihilated.

What the hell did you...

 I called out to him as a joke, but he stared at me with a tearful look on his face.

'What? I'm sorry. I was joking.'

You gotta be kidding me, man! Absolutely, that's too much!


Oh, Mr. Liuxin! You're here.

 Hinata, noticing that Ryushin was coming, approached us.

''Look! I've become stronger!

 Hinata is able to manipulate her luminous aura around her body at will.

 It's hard to believe that a month ago she was just a simple villager, but she has grown into a mage who is so skilled in handling magic power that it's hard to believe she was just a villager a month ago.

''Ah, ah, yes ... that's right.

 

''Ehehe, now I can protect you even if someone tries to hurt you, Liuxin-sama!

 Hinata, who seemed happy to be praised by Ryushin, hugged him with a smile.

 Puzzled, Ryushin took her in and stroked her head.


 The past month's training period must have been quite harsh for Hinata, who was a civilian.

 Even so, she didn't make any weaknesses.

 Hinata intended to be the one who could protect Ryushin, the one who could become the most powerful demon in this world, the dragon.

 When I first heard of her intentions, I told her that the training would be quite tough, but she was not intimidated.

 And she really made it through in a month.
 Hinata, that's amazing.

 As the two of them were hugging and making out, I decided to leave with Seira in tow.


 ─ ─ ─ ─ ********.

 As I was walking with Seira, I suddenly remembered something.

 Come to think of it, this Ifrus Magic Academy, except for the students, their relatives are also off-limits except during the school festival, right?

 I wonder if Seira is allowed to be here as normal?

 It has already been two months since I defeated the demon in the Holy City Sanctum.

 During that time, Seira, Elmia, Kikyou, and Citry were newly living in my mansion, but I completely forgot to talk to the headmaster of Luano's school about it.

 Huh?

 It's possible that... Even if it's not possible, the guy didn't tell us, right?

 I don't know....

 When I was thinking about that...


Mr. Hurt, I have some business to attend to, so I'll leave you to it.

What? Sayla, are you working on something?

 Seira's statement surprised me.
 Unbeknownst to me at all, Seira was working.


''Um ... yes. I'm a rescue worker at this school.
