A week has passed since Operation Damacracus.

　Since then, Silvia and I had spent quite a few productive days selling "Flaming Wolf's Fur" and earning experience.

　The experience earning was mainly done with slime. On the road from King's Landing to the mine, there was a place where delicious rare slimes of experience value could be found as you walked deeper and deeper into the "Slime Forest".

　The best part of it all is that I was able to drop the Recovery Magic Staff Medium from the Holy Slime. It is an extremely rare item with a drop rate of 0.05%.

　This "Recovery Wizard Wizard Zhong Zhong" is a convenient wand that allows anyone to use the "Recovery Wizard" to easily recover and use the "Recovery Wizard" as long as it is equipped. In particular, it's especially useful for characters who specialize in healer-type growth, because when a healer-type character uses it, they can use it to recover. This is because ++ (plus plus plus) is added only when healer types handle it. ＋＋The ++ is a two-step enhancement, and when it's attached, you can expect about 2.5 times the normal effect. With the ++ of "Recovery/Medium," you can expect an immediate recovery of more than 50% of your mid-level HP. You can see how powerful this additional effect is.

　Although Silvia and I are not healer types, so we can't get the ++, but still, being able to handle the "Heal and Middle" without any conditions is a big deal. Thanks Holy Slime. It's a great gift. He too, behind the grass and leaves, "Peekee! And I'm sure he's happy to be there.


　And, well, that was the day I was heading to the Royal School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

''Are you sure?''

　Sylvia pulls her face closer to me and asks. It's been all this for a while now.

'I've told you over and over again that you beat me half the time, so it's your share.

　After all, it seems that half of the money from the sale of the flaming wolf pelts was 'too much for me'.
　Each of the 120 furs sold for about 1 million CL. 1 million x 120 is 120 million CL, and half of that is Silvia's share of 60 million CL.

''In addition to the Flame Wolf's Bow, is it okay for me to get such a large sum of money: ......

　It's extremely depressing and depressing.
　At the critical moment when we're finally going to infiltrate the witchcraft school, we can't complain if we're licked by not only the teachers but also the students in this situation. I think we should take advantage of this situation.

Listen to me, Sylvia, you can make 60 million in a day, if you want to. Fractional sums. We're going to be the best in the world, and we don't need to spend 60 million dollars on a video game.

I, in one day, Rokusenman: ......

　I don't know, it all adds up.

"You're not conscious. You're part of the best team in the world now. You should be more self-aware.
The ...... team?
Yeah, we're a team. We'll form a team sooner or later.

　Mevion allows you to create a group of players called a 'team'. You need a minimum of three players to complete the team formation quests, but it's so easy that anyone could create a team and play with a large number of people without any problems.

　I'm not sure if the system is the same in this world, but it doesn't hurt to have a team if you want to be the best in the world. Because the authority of the team master is very efficient. You can look at your team members' stats and skills at will, and give them instructions via team-only communication, which is quite useful. When you have more friends, you should definitely make one.

I'm ...... Second-dono's team member ......?

　Sylvia blinks her eyes and mutters.
　She seems to be getting more and more confident, and her face starts to get fired up.

''Mm, right!　I'm the first team member of the world's number one man!　I can't be lazy!

　Suddenly I'm feeling better. He's been emphasizing "first" for so long. Are you trying to be an executive?
　And maybe I've already forgotten about the 60 million. This pompousness is very cute.



　While chatting about this, Silvia and I arrived at the Royal School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

　The school building is located about an hour's ride away from the center of the royal capital, and the building is so big it looks like a castle.

''Welcome, we've been expecting you,''

　We got off our horses and were greeted by a young man in his 20s and a woman who looked to be in her late 30s.

'Thank you for taking the trouble to welcome us, teachers.

　I respond with as many respectful words as I can think of. If this is a student and that's a teacher, I also respect the politeness. I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

"Second 'you' ......, if that's all right?"

　A young man asks me. Yeah, I haven't told him my name yet.

'Yes. I'm second and Sylvia is next to me. I'll be looking after you for the next two weeks.

　I said smiling, and the man and the woman exchanged glances for a moment before the woman opened her mouth.

'I'm Paula Memento, the headmistress. It's nice to meet you. And he is.'
I'm Kevin, the homeroom teacher for Class A, where Second will be joining us. Nice to meet you.

　Shake hands with both of them. The principal is a woman? I didn't expect that. And Kevin, he's the elf Noir-san was talking about.
　The two of them also exchanged greetings with Sylvia as if it was an afterthought. By the way, how will Sylvia be treated?

Quick question, will Sylvia be in the same A group?
'Yes, you will. We'll be staying at the inn for the duration of our study abroad, not in a dormitory, so we won't be separated from our rooms.

　Paula answered.
　Oh, I see, Sylvia is supposed to be my bodyguard. Shit, I guess that's a funny question.

Well, shall we go now?

　Kevin leads me into the school building.
　So far, he doesn't seem to be suspicious ...... but I'll have to brace myself for the next two weeks.


'I'm thinking of giving you a class in the morning and a tour of the school building in the afternoon today. What do you think?
Did Dr. Kevin give you the tour?
'No, I'm a student. We recruited from Group A the other day, and we've already decided. The afternoon is basically free assignment time, but if you're a good student, you'll have your hands free.
'I see. Thank goodness.

　Alright. Well, I'll just kill some time during class, and in the afternoon I'll squeeze some information out of the little guide kid. But I'm just going to ask him where the grimoire is.

''Well, we're here. This is Class A.

　We arrived at the classroom while I was gloating to myself.
　Kevin opened the door without hesitation. The inside of the classroom was fan-shaped like a university lecture hall, with horizontal desks lined up in a staircase. There were probably about thirty students in the room. All of them were seated in silence and were quiet.

'Good morning everyone. Now, as I announced earlier, two foreign students will be spending two weeks here in Class A for two weeks from today. Let me introduce them. Mr. Second, Sylvia, please come in.

　Mr. Kevin spoke matter-of-factly and called us over. Apparently it was our turn.

　Me and Sylvia stepped into the classroom.

　That moment.

"----.

　The students gasped in unison and then suddenly buzzed.

　I've been in another world for a long time, so I know why.
　Maybe it's because of my appearance. It's because I'm so beautiful that it's impossible for me to be in real life. I have to say that I'm a limited premium charged avatar.

''Then let me introduce myself.

　Kevin urged me to do so when I came to the podium.

'I'm Second, here to observe from the island nation of Zipangu. Nice to meet you all.
This is Sylvia Virginia. It's a pleasure to meet you.

　When I bowed gracefully, some of the girls screamed and yelled at me. On the other hand, the male students are quiet. They seem to be admiring Sylvia's face.

Thank you. Now you two will be seated over there.''

　Silvia and I are seated one spot to the right of the middle of the front row, feeling the eyes of many people.

''Since we are at a special time today, let's start again with a review of the basics.

　When Kevin made sure we were seated, he started class as soon as he could.
　It would be a boring time for me. So I decided to listen to him halfway through the conversation.



　The morning class is over.

　The content of the class was shocking, contrary to my expectations.

　He said that "depth of understanding is important in the use of magic" and that "all aspiring magicians go to school to deepen their understanding".

　...... I've never heard of such a thing.

　I thought you could learn it by reading the grimoire?

　I don't understand witchcraft or the depth of understanding ...... a bit of what I'm saying.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to remember it just by reading the book," the anxiety of "maybe I won't be able to remember it just by reading the book" started to creep in as I listened to the class, and I couldn't stand still, so I ran over to Kevin at the end of the class.

I asked him to introduce me to the tour guide for the afternoon. I'd like to have lunch with you and get to know you better.

　I was in too much of a hurry and it was like a taunt.
　Then Kevin rolled his eyes for a moment, and then opened his mouth with a smile.

'Sure, no problem. Uh, oh there you are. Mr. Mine.

Oh ...... yes. You wanted to see me, sir?

　A male student named Mine, who was called out by Kevin. He looks more like a handsome boy than a beautiful young man, a little shorter than Sylvia at about six feet tall, very thin, very thin lines, terrified and timid. And perhaps because of the way she looks up at me when she faces me, she has a pretty face that would be more convincing if I called her a girl than a boy.

'I know you're ready for the afternoon's tour. The second Mr. Second wants to have lunch with you so he can get to know you better. The schedule will have to be moved up, but can I ask you to show him the dining room as well?
Oh, okay. I'm fine.
That's good to hear. Good luck with that.

　Mine nodded at Kevin's words. Her silky blonde hair swayed softly.

'Excuse me. Would it be alright if I asked him a question about witchcraft?'

　I asked Kevin as I was leaving before I ripped off the information from Mine, just in case. I didn't want to miss out on anything.

...... It's no problem. He's the head of this first year.
'I see. That was a stupid question.

　I laughed back at him as if to mock myself.
　He says he's the Chief!　That's a lot of flexing. That's what I'm talking about.

Mine. Lead the way.

　When I said that (with a chuckle), Mine smiled and nodded, after a moment of pouting, he smiled and nodded.

'Yeah!'　It's nice to meet you, Mr. Second.

　It's okay. We're not warned. At this rate, I'm going to find out where the grimoire is.

　...... and before that.
"Sylvia, we're going to the cafeteria.

"Mmm, okay, okay!　I'm sorry, let me through, I'm sorry.

　I rescue Sylvia, who was surrounded by female students asking questions.
　I shudder to think what would have happened to me if I hadn't rushed to Kevin's place after class. I'll have to think of something to do.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry--

　Sylvia, who had rushed up to her, suddenly stopped. Her gaze was turned towards Mine.

''Ma-ma-ma, Your Highness Mine, is it?''

　.................. Heh?　Your Highness?

'There is no difference in status within the school. Please be an equal.

　Mine, who had been smiling just a moment ago, became expressionless and said so.

　Your Highness, Your Highness ...... does that mean that Mine is a prince here in the Castal Kingdom?

Excuse me. ...... Sorry about that. Lord Mine.

　Sylvia deflates and immediately apologizes. That's the move of a guy who is used to being pissed off.

　But still, prince hey ...... is a first for me. It's not what I was expecting.
"Bow down! I thought it was something like, "Please, as an equal"? Oh, well, I'll treat you as an equal.

"Come on, Mr. Second. Let's go to the cafeteria together.

　Then Mine pulled my hand. He's awfully aggressive.

　He's cold to the beautiful Sylvia and aggressive to the beautiful man, me.

　............ This guy is unbelievable.

　No, wait. No, no, no, but ...... hmmm?　Oh no, I don't know. I've heard that many kings and warlords in the past were like that, and ...... ah, what do you think?　 I never thought I'd see the day when the prince would go for the hole in my back ...... How can I say no to him?

　...... Okay. Let's just hear it straight.

"Hey Mein. Are you a faggot?

'What?　No!　What are you talking about all of a sudden?



　Mine blushed and denied it. Sylvia opened her mouth so wide that her jaw looked like it was going to come off and she was exclaiming.

'Because it's not so much me as it is Sylvia, it's more like that ...... thing.
What's that?　It's not!　I like girls!
Really?　You don't have to hide anything. Hey, Sylvia, say something, too.
Wow, that's me!　No, no, His Highness Mein is probably the second prince, so you should always be on the lookout for women.
Seriously?
'Ouch!　You don't have to hit me!

　We jabbered at each other on the way to the cafeteria.
　By the time we arrived at the cafeteria, the three of us had already opened up to each other.



　　* * * *



How did you feel?

　Principal's office.
　Kevin answered Paula's question.

'He's outrageous. I didn't know the second prince. No lie.'
Oh, ...... it is.
The "room" that comes out of his body is incredible. I don't know what kind of royalty he is. ......

　Kevin remembers the unique atmosphere that the second wears and sighs.

　This is a remnant of the "sense that this world is a game", and this is the "margin of safety" of the fact that he has his eyes on becoming the best in the world, but Kevin couldn't understand that.
　Even if he had lived for more than 100 years, there was no way he could understand it. He would never know what it felt like to be a man who had staked his entire life on a game.

'Come to think of it, he said he was from an island nation called Zipangu or something. I wonder if he's the king of Zipangu?
'It's not a good idea to make assumptions. But, well, it's not a little bit more prestigious than the second prince. ......

　I don't know the second prince of the country I went to. In other words, I don't need to know.
　Zipangu would be saying that the Kingdom of Castal is a country you can look down on.

'I've never heard of Zipangu ....... I'll do some research.
Please.

　After the conversation, they went back to their respective tasks.

　Two stomach-churning weeks have begun for the two of them. ......
