Volume 1 - CH 17

“It’s spectacular when you look at it again…….”

“Ee…… it’s almost as big as the church headquarters…….”

“We don’t have buildings this big in the Elf territory…….”

After being seen off by everyone, Julis and the others left the Anderberg territory and went to the Lapis Lazuli Royal Magic Academy, which is located in the western part of the royal capital.

With the school gates before them that made want to ask themselves how much money that had been spent, everyone’s heads were just turning upwards.

“……I’m going to spend four years here────I’m worried that I won’t get used to the capital.”

“If you say so, what about me? I mean, there’s nothing in the Elf territory that’s better than Anderberg territory, right?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, in the Elf territory is mostly forest. ……Elves were born in the forest and have grown up in the forest.”

For that reason, for Mirabelle, just going outside was a spread of unusual things.

Just by visiting the royal capital and strolling around, everything was fresh for Mirabelle.

“So, shall we go and see the classification?”

“Yeah, shall we! I’d be happy to be in the same class as you two!”

“Me too, it would be nice to be in the same class as you two.”

While exchanging some words, Julis and the others finally stepped away from the school gate.

The grounds of the Royal Magic Academy are vast, and it takes a little distance just to move from one building to another.

Therefore, it was a long walk to the bulletin board where the classifications were posted.

Then, Julis and the others arrived at the front of the bulletin board where a large crowd gathered.

“……this doesn’t seem to be straightforward.”

“Eee…… Julis, can’t you do something about it?”

“Don’t be absurd.”

Julis’s sorcery is not omnipotent.

It’s a shame that he hadn’t devised yet a spell that would allow him to conveniently see the classifications in this crowd.

“Eh? I can see it, though?”

“Are you really, Mirabelle-han?”

“That sudden change of tone surprised me, but…… well! Elves are born with good ears and eyes, after all!”

Julis looked at Mirabelle who proudly puffed out her chest and was convinced that her ears were long because of it.

It’s probably not related at all.

“So, what class are we going to be in?”

In response to Cecilia’s question, Mirabelle quickly put her hand over her eyes and looked at the bulletin board.

“Let’s see, first of all, Cecilia-chan is in the S class, and I am as well…… Ah! Julis-kun is also in the S class!”

“Oo~h, so we’re all in the same class, then.”

“We did it, Julis! We’re all in the same class now!”

“Sorry, Mirabelle……. apparently we’re together all the time, even when we bathe and sleep! That’s great, isn’t that!”

“B, bathe!?”

“I, I didn’t mean we’d be together to that extent.”

Julis’s joke made them both blush.

It appeared that, both of them had a very strong consciousness of maidenhood.

Seeing this, Julis smiled wickedly, as if it was worth teasing with.

“L, let’s change the subject, but────somehow there were fewer people in the S class than in the other classes, but …… what does that mean?”

“……Dunno~?”

“I also don’t know.”

Julis and Cecilia, who hadn’t been informed about the academy or anything, tilted their heads.

Mirabelle looked at the bulletin board and saw that there were six classes, A to E and S class.

There were 40 students in each class. However, the S class had only half of that number────only 20 students.

So what is the meaning of it?

They’ll not know, at least for now.

“Let’s go to the classroom for now. I’m pretty sure we’re supposed to gather in the classroom once we see the classifications, right?”

“That’s what I thought!”

It’s no use waiting around here.

So Julis and the others left the place to go to the S-class classroom.

“I’ve never been to an…… academy before, so I’m looking forward to it!”

Cecilia smiled happily next to Julis.

The expression on her face was so lovely that he couldn’t help but admire her.

“You’re right…….”

But Julis was only giving her back a smile when he saw that expression.

♦️♦️♦️

“This is the S class……, right?”

“I think so. It has an “S” nameplate on the front door.”

“So, let’s enter!”

Julis and the others arrived at the classroom of S class.

It was quite a distance to the building where the classroom was located, and they almost got lost.

And when they finally arrived at the S class classroom, they found that it was somehow separated from the other classes.

But there was no point in worrying about it.

With that in mind, Julis opened the door to the classroom.

Then────

[……Hey, Saintess-sama is here?]

[Really? ……so the rumors were true.]

[And isn’t the one next to her an elf?]

As soon as they saw Cecilia and Mirabelle, the classroom began to buzz.

A saintess, one of only three in the world, and an elf who rarely leaves elf territory, which was an unusual event, no wonder that everyone was curious.

But────

[But why is the inept is here as well?]

[He’s probably just an escort anyway, right? Because, there’s no way an inept can get into the S class────or even, attending the academy, right.]

[Is he not ashamed to be here?]

On the other hand, Julis was being buzzed differently.

Well, if Julis stepped his foot on this place, it was not surprising that people think so.

Because there were many sons and daughters of noble families who knew that Julis was an inept gathered here.

When Julis saw several familiar faces, he slumped his shoulders.

Besides, he found one unique person.

She had silver hair that swept over her face, and a well-defined face that conveyed both a majestic ladylike atmosphere and the majestic dignity that she exuded.

(Why is there the third princess here……)

A face that every citizen of Lapis Lazuli would recognize.

She is the third daughter of the current king, and a person who is loved by the people.

[Emilia Lapis Lazuli.]

He could not make eye contact with the person, because she was surrounded by many nobles.

(A classroom with the top of the country in this away at the start…… Father, I’m going to have a mental breakdown at this point……)

Julis ended up sending words of sadness to his father as he thought about what was to come.
