Book 9: Chapter 29: Promise of a Date

Thats so you, Halt. You won against upperclassmen who used auxiliary and body-strengthening magic without using a single ounce of mana.

Well, this isnt a big deal.

I beat up Elmias entire class of fifteen males until they could no longer stand. I did it without using a magic suite, magic, or Hakoku, so the most severe injury they could get was just a broken bone.

Seira already patched them all up.

Even if we had a one vs 17 match, these students real abilities were nothing much.

Having a one-on-one match with Elmia would be much harder than this.

Their coordination had been great, though.

Everyones occupations were magician-related, so I guess it couldnt be helped that their swordsmanship skills were quite subpar. They strengthened their cooperation to compensate for that, it seemed.

However, the reason why they were learning swordsmanship in the academy was to equip themselves in case they were approached by monsters.

There was no guarantee that they would always be beside comrades whom they could coordinate well, so they should hone their individual skills more.

Well, Im pretty sure Elmias aware of this.

By the way, Halt, you won, sodo you want a reward?

Huh?

Did we have an agreement like that?

If Elmias student won against me, then the reward is a date with her, but there was no talk of what would happen if I was the winner.

Of course, Id be happy if Elmia was to do something for me. So, what should I ask for my reward, hmm?

This is kinda exciting!

If you dont want to, then its fine even if theres none.

No! I want a reward!! I won, so please reward me, Teacher Elmia!!

I-I see, you want one, huh!

Elmia brightened up.

So, what do you want to do for me?

ThatsHalt, how aboutgoing to a restaurant you like and have a meal there?

I see, so its the same condition as the one she set for her students, huh.

I see.

N-No wayThey told me I can get a reservation after a month

It seemed that they were not taking any orders both for dining in and take out until after a month.

I had a special discount coupon that allowed me to order a cake from that super popular store any time I wanted.

It was a store opened by H&T Corp. after all.

The manager of the store brought the special coupon directly to me, saying that it was part of the celebration of the store opening.

By the way, Tina was the mastermind and creator behind the recipe of the most popular chiffon cake.

If I asked Tina, I wouldnt have to drop-by that place especially, and I could even eat a cake that would be far more delicious than the one theyre serving at the store, but

Well, its pretty nice dining in a fancy restaurant, too!

Its also a date with Seira and Elmia, after all.

So, what do you think, is this storenot good?

Not at all! Its perfect!

Halt-sama, I also want to go there!

They waved the special coupon in front of me while saying so.

Alright, that was pretty quick deciding on a place.

Okay. By the way, wanna go there today?

I didnt have any plans for the rest of the day.

If its okay with their schedule, then I want to go there today.

I have already visited that place a few times now. The dining area has a very relaxing ambience despite how popular it is, so its been one of my favorite places to go since recently.

I do not have any training after this, so Im good to go.

Me too. I already closed the clinic, after all.

They seemed okay with this.

Alright, then lets go back to the mansion first to change clothes. And since its a date, lets meet up at Central's fountain plaza, okay.

G-Got it.

Yes! Ehehehe, a date with Halt-samaIm looking forward to it!

Okay then, its a special date, so Ill do my best to let them have a great time!
