I'm relieved that the worst has been averted, with a preface that says, "For now.
　Perhaps if he had been attending classes as usual for a couple of days, he would have lost track of what he was exploring.

　To Ars, it was just a matter of the youthful smell on his nose. In short, there was no change from the usual.

　He might not have been as wary of his surroundings since he came to the academy. It must be said that Ars' level of sensing the air is unfortunately low.

　Even if we are in a normal conversational relationship, the lack of common sense remains remarkable. To Ars, who remains uncorrected, not knowing is, so to speak, close to a stranger, a stone on the side of the road, an insect without words.
　It has been incorporated into the exclusion list of consciousness.


　Even so, it's not easy, but when you put yourself in the right place at the right time, you will see things.
　When you stand at the center of a crossroads of destiny, where everything overlaps and coincides, you can see things from multiple perspectives.

　The military has promised peace at the cost of keeping the details of the mission hidden from the city. This is a unilateral promise, but a large number of people will not doubt that they believe it.
　The daily earnings are collected as a tax, and the use of the tax is made transparent and clear.

(The aristocracy has a reputation for being ambitious. Aside from the academy, there might be a few cracks in the military.)

　Those of us who have seen the military in action will eventually be dominated by the many.
　If it's only a crack, then it's good.......if it's not a crack.
　Wrinkling his brow, Ars wished to the god that wasn't there, imagining that he couldn't even sigh.

'It would help if it was none of my business.

　There was no way Loki was going to miss such a complaint from Ars.

'A change of heart?'
What's that?　Well, I'm sure a lot of things are changing before we get to the heart of the matter. Me........you too. Even this academy has to embrace change.

　With a small smile, Loki quickly passed Ars with a small smile, "Yes, I suppose so. His hair bounced loudly, creating a fantastical scene in the early morning corridor that made silver particles dance.
　Now, if he could paint a picture of this moment, it wouldn't be a bad idea to hang it in a top quality frame.

'It's a nice change,' said Loki, breaking off his affinity.

'A good change, eh? I suppose it would be nice if it was, but as far as the academy is concerned, the faculty will be exposed to a lot of busyness.'
'But that's not what I'm talking about now. That being said, the old Al would have made it very clear that 'I'm not involved'.

　Loki lifted the corners of his own eyes with his index finger with a cooing motion, creating a hanging eye. He's complaining about Ars's poor eyesight, but unfortunately, Ars thinks he's not that personable.

''Well I hope so. But in all seriousness, if we take it too seriously, the country will be destroyed.''

　Ars, who announces with a mysterious nuance, lets out a grand sigh and walks on.
　Even if you do your own research, or even the most groundbreaking research, you cannot overturn the situation of the war against demons that has lasted for nearly a century.

　Somewhere along the line, I was convinced that I had no choice but to return to the battlefield.
　I was not ordered to do so by anyone, but I had no choice. He had to do it for a compelling reason.

'Al, so........so.......the class....
Of course I'll be there.

　I don't want to come to school, but I want to do my duty as a student. Knowing this critical situation, we should do what we normally do.
　Of course, from the world's point of view, we can't afford to do that, but on the contrary, it may be a luxurious use of time for us to lose ourselves in the peace for the time being.

　It was as immoral as going out to play the day before an exam, but it was the only time Ars had ever had that feeling that he could count on. Naturally, it wasn't a feeling of immorality as small as a small grain held by the students of the academy, and even more so with the prospect of a major turning point for Alpha and, by extension, the mage.......

　But just as she was about to experience such a childlike feeling, Loki's vague smile, which seemed inexpressible, was meaningfully directed at her. Then she held up one finger.

''I hate to say it, but the classroom is........er......unfortunately, this is the first floor.
'Oh?　I made a mistake.
'Hmmm, I know. We're sophomores now.
No, depending on the lecture, you may need the downstairs classroom.
'Me and Al are taking all the lectures together. Today's first period lecture is on the third floor.
..........

　Since they were not at the transition from freshman to sophomore year, they did not choose the courses they wanted to take. Normally, at the beginning of a new semester, there is a period of study in which you choose the subjects and lectures you want to take. In that period, you only need to fulfill the number of credits required for advancement.
　Of course, popular courses have a fixed number of places, so you may be selected by lottery.

　How are Ars and Loki treated?
　Fortunately, all of them are the same as Loki's. I suppose there's no point in fulfilling the credit requirements now, though.
