Chapter 61: Arrival of Transfer Students

Several days after my visit to Cuffs store, the day finally came.

Well then, I am going to end todays morning meeting. Oh, Teacher Kanaki, please stay back for a little bit.

Sansons words had drawn the assembly to a close at the beginning of the week. My attention was once more riveted to the fact that this moment had finally arrived.

The two transferees are already here. They are in the student guidance office waiting for you, so could you pick them up and escort them straight to class?

Okay.

I am sorry for the inconvenience I have brought to you in regards to Ms. Ortesia and the transfer students. But please understand that this is not because I have imposed a burden on you, but simply due to my high expectations of you.

I will strive not to betray your expectations.

Feeling a sudden gaze, I snuck a glance to the left and right only to be confronted by Tupel glaring at me. While the surrounding teachers shot chilly looks at him, the person in question didnt seem to have caught on and was firing resentful glances in my direction.

His gaze, which remained fixed on my back, did not dissipate until the door to the staff room shut all the way.

Standing before the door, I heaved a sigh that I had been suppressing. Having been affected by last weeks morning meeting, I had more or less foreseen that he would bear a grudge against me but had not reckoned that he would unleash his vicious intent on me so explicitly.

Hey, Shizuku.

The younger sister, who was called Shizuku, seemed to literally spring back to life when the older brother called out to her.

Oh E-Excuse me. He resembled someone I know but I was mistaken.

What? How come I never heard of anyone with a face like this that you know it hurts!

Enough, big brother. Making such a face at the teacher is outrageously disrespectful! Please excuse my brothers incredibly impolite behavior

Shizuku poked against the side of his brothers head with her elbow and bowed apologetically to me. At that point, the unnaturalness of the previous moment was absent. Apparently, it really seemed to be simply a case of mistaken identity.

Ahaha, its okay. The two of you seem to be getting along well. Shall we go then?

Right as I left the room, a sound of a bag being carried behind me filled my ears.

At a glance, their appearance may seem like that of ordinary students, but they were both second-class magicians, which was quite a feat. Furthermore, since their role was to covertly protect Karen, it would be safe to presume that they were a couple of ranks higher than the average second-class magician.

For now, the key will be to develop a relationship of trust with these two people as much as possible. So far, things have been progressing swimmingly.

Having a casual chat with them, I walked up to the classroom, informed them to wait in the hallway, and went into the classroom by myself.
