After working out in the training room, I took a shower and returned to my room.
　It's primitive, but there's even a shower that uses groundwater, and it's quite perfect.

The bed is also perfect. It's not the kind of thing that makes you sink into the body, but it's moderately firm and ergonomic, making it easy to get rid of fatigue.
　It's an environment I wouldn't want to lose.

Before I drift off to sleep, I think about today's training.
　First, I've successfully developed a new special move. It's a technique that uses a magical bag that increases in capacity the more magic is poured into it.
　This is a powerful weapon. There's still room for improvement, but I'm glad to see it taking shape.
　Next, I look back on my two students.
　It's finally, but Dea has gained some basic strength. It was only because she was originally trained with the sword that she was able to develop a foundation in such a short period of time.
　If this is the case, then it's fine to enter the application phase.

Even though Dia fights mainly by magic, knowing how to move her body and having the ability to defend herself is a big plus.
　It's safe to say that Dia's training is going well.
　The problem is with the tart.

''As I feared, I guess my eyes aren't catching up with my speed after all.
　Tart is able to perform super-fast battles due to Touahade's physical modifications, physical enhancements due to his superior magical power, and even acceleration due to his own attribute, wind.
　However, his eyes haven't been able to keep up with his speed.

If your opponent is a top-notch opponent, it won't be a problem, but if it's me or my father's class, they'll easily be countered and could receive a fatal blow due to their speed.

There are ways to improve it.
　The first is to train to only produce speeds that you can control. That's realistic, but it will kill your greatest strength.
　The second is to give him the Touahade eye, just like I did.
　With that eye, you'll have hyperkinetic vision.

I've already inherited the procedure from my father. The operation itself is possible, and it had to be done by someone else before it could be done on my child who would be born anyway.

It's a simple matter of crossing over.
　.... but if it fails, the tart will go blind.
　At the very least, we need a test subject. Of course, I've done it many times against sinners, but it's a treatment that almost always fails if you're not a magician, and it's only a training to learn the process.

If you want to do everything right, you want to perform the treatment on the magician and make sure you succeed before you do it on the tart.
　It would be nice if there was an experimental body somewhere with magical powers that could be used at will, but there is no such thing conveniently lying around.

The next time an assassination order comes in, will you be able to secure the target?

Let's treat the subject as a missing person.
　We'll kidnap him and use him as a test case.
　It's the best way to go.

The problem is that there's no such opportunity to assassinate someone while they're in the school.
　My father would carry out the assassination business himself unless there was something very special.
　If he were to make a request to me, it would be an assassination that even my father would find difficult to accomplish.
　If possible, I wouldn't want to accept a request of such a super high level of difficulty. ........No, is there one more request that I might receive? If there's a target in this school, my father will try to use me.

◇

The sound of bells echoes throughout the dormitory.
　It's the wake-up bell.
　I change into my uniform and leave my room and head to the living room.

I look at my reflection in my sight.
　It's a uniform with a black base and blue lines.
　And the armband is decorated with gold. This is the proof of the S class. Just by looking at the armband, you can tell which class you are in at this school, and you are given various privileges at the school's facilities.
　It may seem like overkill, but that kind of policy can't be helped.

''Good morning, Lug-sama,''
'Good morning, Tart. Your uniform is cute and looks great on you.
'I feel quite comfortable with these. It's easy to move around and I like it myself.

The tart skirt fluttered as I spun around. I can't seem to see it. ........no, not that I want to see it.

Tart's clothes should be called a child between a uniform and a maid uniform.
　The servant frame students have a different uniform design so that you can see that.

I'm not sure if I would have liked it any better. It's prettier that way.''

Dia came over, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
　Her silhouette was sleek and crisp compared to Tart's uniform.

'Really?　I'm pretty sure that's the one that looks good on Lady Dear.
'I agree. Dear looks better in beautiful clothes than in pretty ones.
I'm embarrassed to hear that. But I'm kind of glad. I'm glad the tart and I both have uniforms that fit us.

Indeed. Just as Dia looks good in beautiful clothes, Tart looks good in pretty clothes.
　It's an eye-opener to see these two every day.

I'm sure you've both checked to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. The first day is crucial.'
I wouldn't be that stupid,
I checked the counter yesterday. All right, breakfast is ready.

Tart arranges the plates in the living room.

The menu is corn soup. Then, lettuce on freshly baked bread and half-crusted scrambled eggs on top. This is served with a tart special tomato sauce.
　It's simple, but it's quite good.

'What's up with all these ingredients?'
'He asked me last night if I wanted to use the cafeteria for breakfast or if I wanted to use the materials supply. So I said materials, and it arrived this morning.
'So that's a good decision. It's a relief to have a tart meal that I'm used to eating. I'm thankful I've been so uptight since yesterday.
I want the three of us to take our time in the morning. This is better than the cafeteria.

And so the morning passed in a leisurely fashion.
　After dinner, they enjoyed the rest of the cake that Tart had baked yesterday in celebration and a cup of tea, and the exhaustion of yesterday was gone.

◇

As I was leaving the dormitory, Noosh came running up to me.

'Why don't the three of you, since you're here, why don't we go to class together?
I don't mind.
Haha, I'm not feeling very well by myself either. I had a bad experience this morning.
In the morning?
'Yeah, I was going to finish my breakfast in the cafeteria. It looks like the seat I sat in was reserved for the upperclassmen, so that's a big deal. It's the first day, though, so they gave me a special pass.

This dormitory is for S-class students only.
　That includes the upperclassmen, and these things can happen.

''It's a messy vertical society. There's a lot more going on here, and we might as well be careful.''
'Well. Appropriately enough, I've got a senior member of the team I think I'll take in, so I'll try to pull some information out of him.

Noish laughs at that.
　He's brought his servants with him too. Still, the reason he dared to use the cafeteria was probably to make connections.
　Maybe he also dared to impress himself with the senior students' reserved seats.

''All sorts of things in moderation.''
Well, you know. Yes, a word of advice from a very good friend. I'll be careful.

After about three minutes of walking, we arrived at the class building and reached our classroom.
　The four of us wearing gold armbands were walking around, and they were just so noticeable and attention-grabbing and fluttery.
　We got there ten minutes before the start of the school day, and the entire S class was already there.
　Among the members here, there are three members who need to be especially careful.

Neusch Gefis, the heir of the Gefis duke family.
　Finn McCool, the second son of the Count family of McCool, a noble family of knights and a noble family that specializes in fighting, Finn McCool.
　Epona Rhiannon the Brave.

Others are excellent, but not to the point of caution.
　He should not be antagonized by Neusch or Finn.
　He has a high family background, but above all, he is excellent in his own right.
　In terms of pure swordsmanship alone, Finn is better than me.
　He's also smart. From talking to Finn at the party, I could tell that he was quiet, but very sharp.
　Unlike Neusch, he doesn't show off his own abilities, but he hides his sharp claws and can be tricky.

'Good morning,'

I smile and greet my classmates, and they all respond.
　At least there doesn't seem to be anything in S class that would look down on me because I'm a baronet, even outwardly.
　Neusch spoke a couple of words with me and then went over to Finn.
　He's probably trying to coax Finn into it.
　I'm sure Neusch would realize how good Finn is, and more importantly, as the second son, he has no family to inherit, so he has fewer ties and is easier to draw into.
　As he did so, the instructor came in and the bell rang at the same time.

I see you are all here. Now, let's say I'm going to say hello first. I have been assigned to this class. My name is Mile Doon.

Like many of the instructors in this school, they have well-trained bodies.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

It's not just a matter of time before you find yourself in a position of power. ........but that's only for now. I don't know what will happen six months from now.

Six months later. It's the timing of the exams.
　Depending on the results of the exam, there will be a few replacements in the upper and lower classes.

'You're probably thinking: "You're going to be the best of the best. You're probably thinking that you're the best, that you've got a privileged environment and that you can't be overtaken. That's true in a way...but the persistence of those that try to crawl up is beyond your imagination. Or the talent of a smoldering genius who was previously incapable of learning very well, can learn and blossom. Every time you take the test, the members change. Take a sense of urgency, or you'll be gone from this class sooner or later.

All of the students have a mysterious look on their faces.
　........If we don't want to be deprived of our current environment, we have to be willing to die for it too.
　I was aware of this, but when confronted with it once again, it is something that makes my heart ache.

Then let's end the preliminaries and start the class. I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do with it. You will have the best of both worlds. I want you to behave in a manner worthy of that, the S class is the face of this school.

The students nodded and the first class at the school began.
　The first one was a classroom lesson.
　It's from the history of this country. Looking at my classmates from the side, I immediately saw that the brave Epona had her head in her hands.
　Later, I'll tell her I'll teach her to study and start a conversation with her.
　Suddenly, I felt a nostalgic feeling.

I looked out the window and saw a white dove flying around.
　It's a special carrier pigeon that we use in Touahade. It's heading for my room.

The only people who use that thing to contact me are my father or Maha.
　It's rare for my father to contact me, and it was only yesterday that I sent a request to Maha for additional investigation of the brave Epona, and even though she's excellent, we haven't gotten the results of the investigation yet.
　If that's the case, it means that an emergency situation has occurred that Maha can't handle.

........We'll check it out as soon as the class is over.
　If the sender is my father, it's probably an assassination in a super urgent matter, and if it's Maha, then there's a ridiculously troublesome case that can't be handled by Maha and his fake brother, those two people.
