Volume 16 - CH 6

The next day, I was in the middle school classroom, having gotten through the long, tedious conversation with the Director of the Academy of Magic by using my clairvoyant technique to look at the hips of the female students.

It seems that the students who enter the magic academy are assigned to the elementary, middle, or high school according to their age and level of magic.

「All-right~, everyone, nice to meet you. I'm Caroline, the homeroom teacher for the sunflower class in the middle school, I'm looking forward to teach all of you」

The teacher, a pretty woman in her thirties, greeted cheerfully.

「「Nice to meet you」」

「That's a good reply! Let's all work hard to study magic for the next year. Then, let's start with self-introductions. Okay, let's start with you.」

「Ah, yes, my name is Thalia! I'm an Elf, 15 years old, and I'm from Austin! My favorite food is honey, and my weakness is spiders. I'm also good with wind magic and archery. Please get along with me!」

The pink-haired Thalia greeted with a smile and a lot of energy.

「Yes, give her a applause~! Thank you. You were the first to introduce yourself, but you did a perfect job! Okay, next person.」

「...... Lumina, 16 years old, from ...... Soltaire, over ......」

She has short blue hair, and I remembered that she used the Flame Spear spell to break through a minefield in the entrance exam. At that time, she was serious and aggressive, but now she has an aura of coolness all over her.

「R-right, give her an applause~ too. Let's see, Lumina-san, what a surprise! She's the third princess of the Kingdom of Soltaire, you know? But she's not polite in the academy, so please be nice to her.」

「「Yee~s」」

Hou, so it's rude.

「Okay, next one.」

「Ah, my name is Ne-Nene, I'm 13 years old, and I'm from the dog-eared tribe. U-Uhh, uhh, auhhh,,,,Ah, I think I'm from Portiana, I'm a member of the adventurer clan "Black Cat of the Wind". The people I admire are Alec-san and Letty-sensei. I-I'm looking forward to study with you.」

「Yes, you said it well until the end, give her an applause~. I also met Letty-sensei in the staff room yesterday. I heard that she's a graduate of this school, and she seems to be a very talented person with the seventh grade.」

The way she said it, I guess Caroline is a teacher who recently came from another country. Well, I'm not going to say anything now. I'm sure Letty's true nature will be revealed sooner or later.

「How can she be so good if she's not the best? Well, if she's a dog-eared teacher, she might be good.」

Melissa said sarcastically.

「Ahem, Melissa-san, you can't say that. By the way, Letty-sensei is a human being. She is still a young teacher, you know? Now, it's your turn, Melissa-san」

A silver-haired girl with bangs stands up. Her twin-tailed drill hair is neatly arranged on either side, and I'd like to see what happens when she shakes it while doing a cowgirl or doing a blowjob.

「My name is Melissa-von-Jackal. I'm the third daughter of the Jackal family. As you can see, I'm a pure-blooded elf, and I'm sure you all know where I'm from by now.」

「Ah, wait a minute, Melissa-san. It's true that the Jackal family is famous in Austin, but there are many people who come from other countries to study here, so please explain it to them properly.」

「Ehh? That's the role of the teacher, isn't it?」

「Huh?」

At her age, Melissa is a great person who can talk back to her teacher without hesitation.

「Fufu. My favorite things are jewels and sweet strawberry millefeuille, and my least favorite things are country bumpkin.」 (TLN: country bumpkin here can also translated as clown)

Some of the students in the classroom giggled, but others looked reluctant.

「You know, Melissa-san, you shouldn't make fun of the countryside.」

「Why is that? Teacher?」

「Ehh? Why, it's ...... uh-huh」

This kind of morality is often not theoretical, you know. This teacher is going to be a burden.

「I'm sure the headmaster said at the entrance ceremony that this school uses magic to decide who's great and who's not. If that's the case, city or country, it doesn't really matter.」

I'll say it for you.

「Ah, right!」

「Oh my, is that so. Then I guess I'm going to be the best in this class, fufufu」

That's a lot of confidence, but it's not gonna happen, Melissa. There are a lot of big-name Magicians in this class.

「Yeah, good luck with that. Okay, give here an applause. Then, next one」

「Yes! My name is Marilyn! I'm from Roskilde, and my magic isn't so great, but my cheerfulness is second to none! Just kidding, ehe~. My goal is to make 100 friends. Everyone, please help me okay!」

Marilyn, with her short, wavy red hair, introduced herself with a cheerful smile.

I'm going to help you make friends, too. Sex friends, of course.

「Yes, that's great, please make lots of friends. Next person」

「......haah, I'm really atrocious at introducing myself ....... Ahh....Kaede von Craig, from the Gilan Empire, phew!」

She was a beautiful girl with long black hair, about seventeen years old, who sighed and stood up sluggishly, but with this face, was she Japanese?

I immediately used the [Appraisal], but other than her name, I was unable to browse.

It's a someone to watch out for.

The robe she's wearing is gray, not black, but .......

It wasn't a fake name, so she must have been adopted by the Craig family or something. I'm sure the Dorm Manager of the men's dormitory also had that last name, but I'm sure it wasn't a coincidence that she happened to have the same last name ....... In this world, only noblemen have "von" in the middle of their names. She's probably his sister.　

「Ahh, that's all.」

「Ehh? That's it? Kaede-san, what do you like and what do you dislike, you know?」

「Uh, my favorite saying is "If you work, you lose", and my least favorite is annoying and incompetent teachers, is that okay?」

「Ugh, ...... is that a motto? I've never heard of it, but...」

It's not a motto. But I'm pretty sure Kaede is Japanese and a former NEET. It's also possible that she's an otherworldly hero.

「If you work, you lose... Kkuhh, that sounds cool!」

「Am I making a... mistake?」

I guess some of my classmates were impressed, too.

「Fuu~ Sir, I'm asking if I can sit down.」

「Ah! Yes, you may. G-give her an applause~. Well, then, let's see, next person.」

After a few more people introduced themselves, it was my turn.

I'm wearing a sword, but since this is a magic school, I'm also wearing a new robe instead of armor. The color was a deep blue.

「This is Alec. I'm from Vernia, and I'm an adventurer. That's all.」

「Y-yes, applause~.」

Obviously Caroline is pulling away, but well, I don't want to disrupt the class either, so we can go with mutual respect.

「Then, I'd like to know what your classroom skills are, so I'm going to give you a written quiz.」

「「Whatー? 」」

After the quiz, we had a lesson on the basics of magic theory, and I fell asleep after failing to bite off a tough monster named "Yawn".

「Alec-san, Alec-san.」

「Hmm? *yawn* what's up, Nene?」

「Uhm, It's lunch time.」

「Oooh, is it that time already? Well, let's go get some food.」

「Sure!」

「Wow, Alec doesn't seem like such a scary guy! Caroline-sensei was kind of freaked out by him, though. When Melissa said, "Sir, Alec-san is sleeping," she said, "No, she's not! she's not asleep!"」

The red-haired Marilyn said with a funny smile.

「I see. You could have woken me up, but I guess that class was too hard.」

「Well, it wasn't that hard, you know?　She explained it very well.」

Marilyn said.

「No, on the contrary, it was too easy.」

「O-ohhh, I-is that so...」

I've already memorized a certain amount of magical knowledge, probably because I got the [Magical Knowledge] skill.

The four major attributes and the effects of conflicting attributes can be covered by applying game knowledge, and this is something I want to advance to the Mage Course as soon as possible.

I went to the cafeteria, and Serina raised her hand.

「Alec, over here.」
