128-Aspiring student




 Is Ars the dog supposedly created by Tesfia? I raised my eyebrows when I saw the
 Aside from the shape, I wonder if it's because it's Ars, who provided the expensive item, that the creator is Tesfia and doesn't it add too much value?

 This is a [school festival]. This is a school festival. The target audience is young people, so that's probably just as well.
 When I look around the class as if I were indulging in that, I see a scene that can't just be described as such.

 I had noticed this when I first walked in, but it seemed to me that the desire not to be so had distracted me from the fact that I didn't want it to be so if possible.

 It's true that in a children's game called shooting, the clientele is naturally large, especially for children, including parents and children.
 Many students of the academy may have heard the information that the three beautiful girls are hand-made from somewhere. The aim is blatant.

 And it is obvious that they are military personnel or students. In this case, it would be quicker to lump them together with the magicians.
 It is truly surreal to see a grown man getting self-conscious about a child's shooting target. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're aiming for, of course, since the items are provided by Ars.

 You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. The popularity of the AWR that Arus-kun put out is so great, and the competition is so high for the rest of them that they are generally divided into age groups. All the students and upperclassmen are aiming for that, too.

 Ciel didn't point directly to the AWR, but pointed to a notice on the wall.
 It was a teaser about each item, each prize.
 If you look at the customers who are glued to the table, you can see that some of them are men who look like AWR technicians, others are toned and fit like military men, and some are senior students, as you can see from the fact that they are wearing our school's uniform.
 Of course, if you look into the line, you can see a few students from other schools here and there.

I see. So that's why you said you want to buy it in person?
'Yeah. Rules are rules, and it was too much money, and vice versa. But the upperclassmen who came for it protested, and the result was what you see.
'Well, it's pricey, that's a fact. It's not for profit on the surface, so that's a good answer. If they're going to make it difficult for you again, you can contact security and they'll let me know from headquarters.
Yes, thank you.

 There was a good reason to cut it off quickly.
 Once again, Ars looked around the room and thought of the line that would be in the hallway.

(If he stayed long enough, he'd be told to help out or something.)

 Even if we mobilize eight people, we are already in need of more hands. As expected, it's no good if they think you're slacking off even if they don't tell you to help out now.

 Ars turned his back to Ciel to get out of the classroom and said "do your best" as if it were someone else's business.
 However--.

 A woman was standing in front of the door, blocking the doorway.
 Naturally, the line had been disrupted by the commotion, but now it was re-arranged, and Ars naturally thought that she would be the next customer, so she lightly ducked her eyes and avoided the edge.

 Ciel peeked from the side.

'Oh, I'm sorry. I'll call you when it's available.'

 The woman fixes her gaze on Ars with a funny smile at her words.

'No, I'm not a guest, sir.

 His expression made a smile. However, the thinly opened eyes overlapped with Ars.

''Nice to meet you, senpai (...)''

 The woman bent gracefully at the waist and plucked at the edge of a black dress with an expansive hemline above her knees. The dress accentuates the curves of the body.
 The almost pearly gray hair is gently waved and bounces off the ends to tickle under the chin.
 The twin hills which push up the clothes as if they were tight. It was embodying the proportions which a woman idealizes. Although it is such an attractive face, you can still see the childishness in it.


 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 But when it comes to Ciel, she seems to be shocked at the word senior.

''Lie! Younger!

 It would be too early to assume that it was a good idea, but there was no word of denial from the other party.

''Yes, I'm applying to the second academy next year, and I had the pleasure of watching my seniors do well at the Seven Nations Magical Friendship Tournament.''

 Ars doesn't know what to say to her as she just flashed a smile like that. It's probably a bad habit for the thought of being troublesome to come first at a time like this.

''Senpai?''

 At the sight of such a dour face, the woman looked flustered, "Ah! He raised his voice and gently put his hand on his chest. There was a glimpse of a somewhat aristocratic gesture.

'I beg your pardon. My name is Noir Valis Oud.

 Smiling glowingly at Noir, Ars responded to the introduction of himself, conscious of his position as a superior.

''It's nice to meet you, Miss Noir.......''

 I respond to civility with civility. This may be the first time since he arrived at the Academy.
 However, Loki would still be more comfortable if he was impressed by the game because of Ars's absence in the Seven Nations Magical Friendship Tournament.
 Arus muttered inwardly at the fact that there was such a lover of things, "Is that possible?

 The influence of the Seven Nations Magical Friendship Tournament is probably significant in this 【School Festival】 as well.

''Senpai, please don't call me by my honorific title. Please call me by name, senpai (...). As you can see, I'm a nobleman, but it's only in name.

 Ars agrees to the point of interjecting a small laugh.
 It's useless to spend time on this kind of exchange, but it can't be helped.

''Noah........Le, I'm sorry I can't take much time since I'm also here as a security guard on this street. If I get another opportunity, I'll take my time then.

 It was quite uncomfortable to call them out suddenly. It's hard for Ars to do anything about the distance that is too close to the first meeting, even though it may eventually become a senior-junior relationship. I'm not sure if she wants it, but she wouldn't choose to call me out on it by mistake.

 In the end, he or she will use words to get rid of the situation and make a temporary retreat.
 I had a feeling that I wouldn't want to see her too much if possible. I wonder if I'm in a phase of female difficulties.

(Is this not the first time...?)

 It was the moment I stepped out into the corridor to walk through the side. He pulled my sleeve as if to cling to me.

'Wait!' Senpai, may I have a moment of your time? It's my first time at the academy, and I'd like to ask my seniors to show me around for a few minutes...

 Furthermore, Ciel, who only bothered to peek his face out of the classroom door, bent his eyes and mouth in a nasty way.

''You wouldn't disrespect a younger child, would you, Ars-kun?

 When Ciel said such a thing, Ars inwardly blurted out, "Ciel is getting used to it, too, in a bad way. Is it someone else's influence, or was she herself originally like this?
 Either way, it was at this time that she felt too close.

 And then there's this situation.
 There were many people in the corridor in a line. A man who refuses in this situation is too early........

''Sorry, Noir-san, but I'm at work right now.

 Here was a man who refused to take the plunge. As expected of a man who has served in the military, he should be able to say that he has done his duty in the military.
 However, this academy is a waste of a page of young people's friendly competition in their youth. It is needless to say that I was showered with eyes from all directions, "Is it too good to be true?

Is it no good?

 This kind of accusatory stare is a chase.
 Of course, Ars has its own situation and what Noir is saying is more of an impossible task.

''Hah~ I'll just listen to it, but if that doesn't work, I'll ask you to listen to it.

 The sigh that heaved out was probably due to the frustration of not being able to speak.
 Ars turned away and put his hands to his ears as if to escape.


 And after only a few exchanges, Ars drops his shoulders.

''If only for twenty minutes...''

 Noir smiled at Ars's response, "Thank you very much," and Ciel, who was watching, nodded in satisfaction.
 Even the crowd in the corridor could hear glimpses of applause, and it wasn't just my imagination.
 Some of the yakuza could be heard because they were the other party. A beautiful girl with proportions that don't look younger than her age. Rather than pretty, she is beautiful, or beautiful, which is a better description of her.

 If I had to describe the feelings of a young man in the midst of his youthfulness, it would be inappropriate. Of course, I'm just being a jerk.

 They are also the ones who have been in a position to make the most of their time.

 Since we can't show you everything in a limited time frame, we need to narrow it down to a few. But "Where do you want to see? Do you really want a guide to come back to you when you ask such questions? I don't even have a guess.
 And since today is the first time they have come to the school, it can't be helped if they don't know the layout of the facilities. If there is a part that needs to be explained to you as a guide, it would be worth making the time to do so.

 It seems that Noir doesn't have any place that he wants to go. Or rather, they don't know.
 That's why Ars chose a short route from the main school building where he is currently at to the research building, which is his specialty.

 The two of them are walking down the corridor.
 However, Ars was curious about what was going on in this hustle and bustle.

'Does Noir practice any martial arts or something?'
'What! Why?

 Noir's shoulders shook for a moment as he asked that question back.

'No, I just thought it was a beautiful step...'
...

 She opens her eyes under her bangs a little, and when she's not smiling, her natural expression seems a little stiff. It's hard to determine if she's really surprised to see how difficult she is.

''That's my senpai....................You understand.
'That's because there's no noise and the center of gravity shifts smoothly. That's a surefire way to get in, right?
I hope so, sir.
The quality of a wizard is rooted in magic. Well, I've heard it's not easy, but it's no problem for anyone who sees it.

 But in reality, Ars doesn't know anything about the exam since it's a backdoor entrance.
 But I'm sure there's a lot of skill in a single step. That's what Ars thought.

''Come to think of it, I had the pleasure of watching my senior's match at the tournament...''

 Ars would minister to him without a care in the world.
 Because he thought that otherwise it couldn't be a situation where Noir respected Ars.

''What's your senior's ... lineage?''

 The words spun from Noir, who was walking one step behind before I knew it, were carried directly to Ars's ears without going through the surrounding noise.
 Then, as he walked, he looked to the side and said to Arus, "You'll find out sooner or later when you get a chance.

'You'll find out eventually, given the opportunity, won't you?'

 The sarcastic tones mixed in with the sarcastic tone of his voice were meant to put to the arrow the unspoken agreement not to pry into each other's affairs regarding magic.
 'If you're going to be knocking on the door to become a wizard, you should know that now, and you should take care of yourself.

'I suppose so. We'll find out eventually, won't we?

 I had to shrug it off a little bit because of this prepared response.
