Three days and three nights would be a bit of an exaggeration.
　At any rate, I'd like to describe it as such. This was the time it took to decide on the class' offerings. In the end, the hospitality industry, which is what the boys wish for, didn't go up at all during the course of the day.
　This is because the three first-year beauties, Tesfia, Alice and Loki, are unable to participate fully.

　Although I won't bore you with the details, the three who performed well in the Seven Countries Magical Friendship Tournament will have to participate in the highlight of the [school festival], a sort of tradition where they have to serve as opponents in a mock battle.
　This is a performance to show off their magical achievements in the academy.

　They can use the training field to match up with the contestants of the friendly competition. Of course, the contestants are an unwritten rule, but it is already a standard among the institutes in each country.
　Therefore, a series of mock matches are set up for the contestants, and they have to participate in them. Of course, it's not only the contestants with good results who take part in this, and vice versa. Of course, it is not only the contestants who have a good record, but also the other way around, and even those who did not participate in the tournament may participate, but they will be judged.
　In short, it doesn't matter if a student loses in the first round or not, but the three who advance to the finals, and among them, the three who win the first three places in the individual competition, are undeniable.


　This is the reason why Ars should be asked to participate in this event, but he couldn't because he already had a security job to do. Probably Felinella was able to take that into account.


　Because of this background, Ars and the rest of the class gathered around the boring idea of shooting. Incidentally, this is what happened when the boys rebelled against the girls' proposal and settled down in a place where they were calm. However, the reason why it's not so bad is because the students who have less time to spare can enjoy it because they don't have to allocate as many people.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what I'm talking about. It's not cute or even cute to be a child who follows the wishes of adults. It may be rather cheeky.


　But it's too silly to be a target without any plan.
　Naturally, there is no aim to attract customers, or to put it simply, among the goods flowing into Alpha as a result of the Seven Nations Magical Friendship Tournament, there is a toy that is becoming popular among some citizens.

　It is now a weapon of the older generation. It is a toy that was developed by Clevidito. It is popular among children because it was converted into a toy rather than an improved weapon. All they do is send magic bullets using the magical power that everyone has inside of them.
　Naturally, people tend to think of them as dangerous, but the structure of the magic bullets, which are about the size of a thumb, is so ingenious that the magic power is only used on their surface. The inside is air, and the magic power is less than 0.1mm thin, so it's a very gentle thing to use. In short, even though it's a magic bullet, it's almost an air bullet.


　This idea was not without its drawbacks. The maximum impact of the magic pistol being used is about the same as being lightly pushed on the back, depending on the amount of magic power it can contain. In addition, even though the amount of magic power it can hold is very small, it is still not the right way to ask customers to spend their magic power.

　In addition, after the discussion of this idea, we had been discussing the pros and cons for three hours. The next thing you know, it's completely dark outside, considering that we started after school.

　It's a good thing that I'm not going to be able to get away with it. It's not a good idea to waste any more time in this moment, because he couldn't bear to waste any more time.

　Loki next to me is clearly irritated, although his eyes are downcast, and Tesfia just sighs and doesn't make any suggestions.
　As far as I'm concerned, it would be irresponsible to just make a suggestion, since I can't participate in the game to begin with.

　From Ars's point of view, it was a good reason to strike a bit of a pity for Alice to come to feel sorry for her.

　It may have been good enough to experience the role of a moderator, but it is topsy-turvy with all the suggestions and criticism flying around from all over the place.

　
　I'm sure it won't take long to figure out the general structure of the gun when it's empty inside.
　If it's not a problem if you don't let your customers consume magic power, then you can ask the chancellor.......or even the military to lend you a resident pseudo-magic power generator.
　If that doesn't work, the one we use for Loki's training is lying on the grounds of the Ikki Academy, so we can use it.


　It was agreed that each person will bring their own goods to be prizes. The budget is allocated to each class, so if you buy a cartridge, foundation and prizes, there is no problem.
　It's a pretty lazy show, but it's something that Ars is extremely grateful for. If you have to hang around with security, it must have been a mess.
　On that point, this type of show can be run efficiently with a small number of people, and there will be no need for Ars, who has security work to do so.

　Although it's a bit of a meander, prizes are given for each category at the 【School Festival】. The class that wins first place in sales, visitor attraction rate, and the most interesting performance in a survey by visitors will be given a half-year occupation of the training grounds as a bonus. Of course, the sales will be divided among the classes.
　For this reason, almost no classes present their research projects.


　Even if I help with some of the preparations, it won't have a big impact on Tesfia and Alice's training, unlike other classes.




　He had thought about this kind of thing about a week ago, but Ars thought to himself that he should have thrown such an easy idea into the garbage early on.
　This is because the students who live in the dormitory at the academy do not have any goods that can be used as prizes. In the original plan, each one of us will have to make do with the budget provided by the management committee for one plus more.
　However, in reality, we had to purchase seven magic parachute guns to cover the cost of materials and decorations for building the foundation of the classroom, which was a tragic outcome of our haphazard planning.

　As one would expect, the entire responsibility is not pressured on Alice, who was the emcee of the event, but due to her nature, she could not help but feel remorseful.


　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends. However, he's a little disappointed with the uninteresting mechanics of the gun, and it's already become a chore for him.

　I took a peek at the two of them. I had underestimated the impact in the 【School Festival】, but it's currently hindering progress more than expected.
　In particular, Alice was unenthusiastic and not at all enthusiastic about it.
　As for the Tesfia, it should probably be called the original, but at least it was only about his best friend, and since he himself was not unrelated to it, he still didn't seem to be making any progress.

　Then I suddenly saw Loki enthusiastically making something.

''Hm?　What's Loki doing here?
Ha, yes. I'm making a simple choushuu, because I'm here to put on a show, so I thought it could be anything. You said it was for a show, so I thought it could be anything.
Shush?
Well, you see, it's a hair clip.
Homemade. That's cool.

　I'm tempted to tell about two people to learn a little.
　But of course, Loki didn't have the skills to do so, so he taught himself to make them while looking at a book.

Loki-chan, make one for me, too.
'Don't you need it at your length, Alice?
I'll keep it safe.


　I assured him with a much clearer expression, but he kicked me off in a dismayed way, saying, "It's too much trouble, so I don't want to do it.

　We're talking about one for each of us, but this had already become a quota with a high degree of difficulty.

''So what are you guys going to do?''
That's the one. I really don't know what to do.
Can't Alice do hand-knitting or something?
Even Fear couldn't do that.

　This is a very unprofitable conversation, and Ars watches from the sidelines. It is certainly a venerable situation, but if you don't have this much to deal with on an individual basis, that is exactly what you want to say, don't be lenient.
　The two of them added a preface to their thoughts about this and asked Ars, "You can't hand-knit, either, can you?

'Even Al can't knit by hand, can he?
I don't really have any idea who does it, or even if it's just lying around.

　What a thing to say, it was Tesfia. He had already lost sight of the purpose of what he was competing for.
　Well, even if this is a joke......................no, I hope it is.
　In the first place, they missed the target when they were trying to refer to what Ars was offering as a prize.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can't do that. In case you have the appearance of the academy, we can't give you a bad one.
'What!'

　The astonishment emanated from Loki, who was diligently working on it. I overreacted to the word "badly made" and dropped my gaze to my own in-progress chouche and............................stopped.

"That's not what I meant, Loki. I don't mean it's used up or something.

　Loki, who is half-crying, says to Alice, "I don't care," he says back with a kerfuffle, "I don't care.
　Then Tesfia objectively expresses her opinion to deny Alice's words.

'No, I think it's probably overwhelming in terms of popularity but as long as you put the name of the creator on it properly, you'll be fine.

　And so on and so forth, but our own Tesfia and Alice haven't resolved anything.

''There are some nostalgic circumstances........''

　and Tesfia's words are what most of the class is struggling with. It's not that the budget is particularly small. The only unnecessary expense is the spending that occurred because we listened to the idea of decorating.
　The money to buy these prizes was so small that it was almost a tear in the eye.

If we had to pay for it ourselves, it would be a failure of the school festival, wouldn't it?　Why don't you make something like Loki?

　Ars has a good reason to point out that he's right on target. It is that she is as beautiful as Loki. This was an objective assessment, and since the boys in the class approved of it, they thought it wouldn't be a problem if they made some kind of alterations.

''Eh, no, I mean~........''

　Ars saw Tesfia's eyes drifting to the side of him and generally guessed.

''Clumsy bastard....'' he uttered. However, if this is the case, I may fall into a situation where I won't be able to study at all until the [School Festival] is over. I have fallen into the dregs of being called.

''Even Al isn't thinking about anything!
I told you, I'm going to get it out of the ground.
Didn't you hear what Alice said?
"Hmm, just so you know, I don't mix it up with all the crap that's lying around your room.

　Saying that, Ars indicated with his chin as appropriate.
　All eyes were drawn to the strange vertical package that was hanging on the equipment placed in the corner of the room.
　This is the one we all saw when we cleaned up the room before, but it's an object that we didn't particularly pay attention to. The general consensus is that it is unnecessarily large and therefore in the way.

　Tesfia and Alice held what looked like a vertical stick that was wrapped quizzically and brought it to them as Ars told them to.

'What is it?　This?
It's a prototype of the AWR I made before I joined the institute. Even though it's a prototype, it has the performance of a full-fledged AWR.
...
'It's just that I haven't had to open it since I moved to the Academy, but I don't need it anymore anyway. I'm glad I didn't throw it away.

　I said deliberately.

"This is a new one, too. It's a little more advanced, but it's better when you can get it out of the bag.

　Inside the wrapping was an AWR like I've never seen before, reflecting a silvery white without a scratch. It had a double-edged edge on both sides, like a spear. In terms of condition, it had a sheath on both ends.
　If I were to say that it was distinctive, I would say that there was a circle in the center of the long hilt, and it went through it. It is unusual, but it seemed to have the destructive power to attract the interest of the three of us.

''Hey, hey, what's advanced about it?''
This spear looks great.

　Tesfia bites easily, although Alice is fawning over the euphoric look on her face.

''Alice's golden spear is based on this one. You will find that you can get the best of both worlds. It's a good thing that it's cutting edge, but it's also a strong habit. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It was made with the expectation of a two-digit magician in mind to begin with.
'If Master Ars made it, then there is still something to it, isn't there?

　Is Loki's question coming from trust or from experience? Either way, he nodded in two responses.
　Was he responding to trust in that sense?

''This one has a separate system of magical formulas inscribed on both blade tips.

　And the usual professorial place is established for Ars, who begins to explain with one finger. After all, the story of the thing AWR is a popular word in the university. I'm sure it's not the only example.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. I'm sure that Sisti Chancellor can use two of them for sure, and to a lesser or greater degree, maybe even three. So this AWR is carved with fire and water strains at both ends, respectively. So far it's not that unusual. I think anyone can do it if they want to. Normally, carving two magical formulas into one causes conflicts... but that AWR puts a circle in the center to neutralize their interference with each other, and it makes the two systems compound magic used by double-digit magicians possible in a single AWR.

　Two system combined magic is not a trick that can be done early on, but it is unparalleled in that it is possible. Originally, it is a magic that is exercised using separate AWRs. However, it also requires a high level of information alteration ability because of conflicts within the area of effect of a specific coordinate.
　This AWR makes it much easier to create compound magic before the compound appears, in other words, it is established within the AWR structure and constructed as compound magic.
　The only drawback is that the ring is not suitable for mass production as it is a different material. The fact that the material is using a demon is a trade secret.


　It's not just a valuable item. Tesfia and Alice were unable to ask how much it cost to produce this AWR.
　It's hard to find the words to describe what they are saying because they are not able to keep their mouths open.
　Still, what did she think of it?

'Ha, foul!

　It was a wild guess with a hint of backbiting.

'But are you sure about this, Al?'
As I said, I don't need it because it helped me to make the Golden Spear, and it's just a distraction. I don't need it because it helps me make the Golden Spear... so you see, my laboratory is a treasure trove of information!

　There was a bit of a problem with the amount of money being spent, but as long as there were no restrictions on the prizes, there was no problem.
　I've become arrogant, but it seems that I've gained an understanding.

　And when I looked at Loki, who didn't participate in the conversation there, I was still looking at the handmade chouche.
　I was thinking that she was her partner and she wanted something that she wouldn't be ashamed of.

I think it's a good idea. A choushuu?　Otherwise, I'd want one too.

　I felt like beating myself up for looking at the hand I placed on Loki's head. All I could come up with was conventional words, and I think it would have been awkward, even though I meant it.

(Maybe I'm mostly clumsy, too.)

　But the effect seemed to be extraordinary.

'Really?!　Well, then, next time I'll make a scarf with the season in mind, will you accept it?
Oh yes I'd be happy to.

　Even if I meant it, this pseudo-created weather is rare for people to wear a scarf, even if the season is winter.
　Well, that's okay. I shook off my petty concerns.
