Chapter 124 Theres a girl who seems to like Flan a lot.

I returned to the dormitory of the magic department.

Huh?

Becky, who seemed to be waiting for me, spotted me from the end of the corridor and ran up to me.

She bombarded me with questions: where I had been, how I was feeling, what I had done with my time I ignored most of them.

Leave me alone.

How can I not care about you?

Becky snapped back at me.

Our eyes met in the air for a moment.

Then her face turned as red as my hair, and she quickly looked away.

I was just curious. Just curious.

Becky tapped the floor with her toes and said.

It looks like you didnt have much homework lately.

W-what does that have to do with anything?

Around that time, Louis and Trixie joined us.

After seeing the three magicians in good shape, I skipped the greetings and went straight to the point.

The group interview will be organized by the royal palace.

All the noise disappeared.

Becky, who had been tapping the floor with her toes, Trixie, who had been watching us with her arms crossed, and Louis, who had been smiling as usual.

They all stopped and stared at me.

Due to the high level of interest, the scale of the interview has also increased. Just understand that for now.

Becky pursed her lips like a goldfish.

Wait, wait a minute. What does that mean? Will our faces be everywhere?

Yes.

!

Becky put both hands on her cheeks and opened her mouth wide. Her expression clearly showed what she was thinking.

Not much time had passed since the victory of the tournament, but there had been some definite changes in the meantime.

Now, if you open a trivia, you can easily find our names.

No, it would be strange if they werent there.

It was only natural. We had won the Hunting competition, after all.

The most talked-about thing in the magic department before was a few papers, so the adjective unprecedented that was often attached to us was not an exaggeration at all.

You dont have to be nervous. Its not hard.

What I need for the construction of the magic tower is money.

Magic is independent of the publics attention.

If I prove myself with my skills, thats all that matters. But to gain financial benefits, I need some support.

The group interview will be that opportunity.

Students, nobles, and even the royal family.

The upper-class people who are looking for a place to invest all day long.

With various interests involved, the group interview is a chance and a stepping stone for the construction of the magic tower.

48 hours after preparing diligently for the group interview.

The day of the group interview finally dawned.

The interview waiting room inside the palace.

Dozens of officials were busy running around, with three hours left until the interview.

The princess blinked slowly as she spoke.

Flans future is unreadable. So is everything related to him. Its very strange.

Yes. I remember you saying that.

Lately, there are also some parts of Yushias future that are unreadable. What do you think that means?

That is

I tried to find a suitable answer, but Aurora spoke faster.

Its not a hard question. It means Flan is getting more involved in Yushias future.

That is, well Could it be temporary? The third princess seems to be focused on her studies, and the academy is a place where you move around a lot while taking classes, so maybe they just met by chance

Enough. Enough. I was just curious.

She clicked her tongue and smiled with her lips curled.

Even though the conversation ended like that, I glanced at Aurora nervously.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong. Her expression seemed even brighter than before.

Just when I was about to relax.

!

Suddenly, right next to me, Aurora stared at me with a stiff face.

Ah, aah!

She ordered me, pointing at my butt.

I have to steal Flan from her. Find a way.

The second princess, Auroras competitiveness and possessiveness.

*

There was no exception, even if the target was a human.

As the sun was setting, the woman opened her eyes and quietly recalled her memories.

The duel was fair. It had left one winner and one loser.

Scarlet, the Knight of the Flickering Flame.

She was the loser.

She stared blankly out the window.

The fragments of the sunset were gathered up, and darkness slowly spread over the world.

A lot of time had passed since the duel was over.

She had not inflicted any harm on her opponent. It was a complete defeat, not even worthy of being called a loss.

It was unbelievable, but it was true.

She could not accept it, but she had to.

It just felt so unreal that this situation seemed like a dream.

Scarlet walked shakily towards the mirror.

Her body had not fully recovered yet, and she had not eaten anything recently.

Her legs did not move as she wanted, and she almost fell several times, but she managed to stand in front of the mirror.

There was a harsh reality there.

Her hair, covering her face in a mess, her body of a loser, a failure who could not become a knight of the blazing flame, was laid out in front of her as if to mock her.

She gazed at the horrible sight and collapsed.

She had no thoughts. She did not even know what to think.

She just trembled.

Then, by chance, the key she had received from the lord caught her eye.

Ah

She quietly picked it up.

Scarlet thought, while shaking with pain.

Now, it was time to visit the annex.
