“Kaisaf-san. What’s up with ……?

“I was just in the area.”

Kaisaf came up to me.

“Do you always train here?”

“Yes. Sensei lets me use it.”

“Owen is a great guy.”

“No, not at all. By the way, have you been asked to do anything for the opening ceremony?”

“Hahaha. I’m not going to do it. I don’t know rare magic. You seem to have been asked to do something.

“Well, yes. I was asked to fly.”

“That’s tricky. …… No, maybe they’re expecting you to do it. I think they’re hoping you can do something.”

“I think they’re overestimating me”.

By the way, I heard that they put a lot of effort into preparing for the opening ceremony.

I’m getting nervous even after all this time.

I want to complain that they don’t leave such a big role to one student.

“I see. Well, I’m looking forward to it.”

“By the way, are there any other students at the school that you’re interested in?”

Research is important, you know.

It’s important to do your research, because the more information you can gather on the students, the better you’ll be on the day of the match!

“…… Yes, that’s right. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. I think he was a student at Waltz Academy.”

“Is he stronger than Kaisaf?”

“I’m sure you’ve heard of him. I lost in the top eight, so I didn’t fight him.”

“What kind of person is this Julian-san? If possible, it would be helpful if you could tell me what kind of magic you are good at.”

If you are aiming to win, you will have to face them at some point.

It’s a good idea to have a countermeasure if possible.

“He is a shadow magician. Of course, you can also use the Alderath family’s signature lightning magic. You can ask Natalie for more details.”

“Well, why is that?”

“Because Julian is Natalie’s brother.”

“Oh, really?　I’ve never heard that before.”

I knew that Natalie had an older brother.

But she did not like to talk about her family.

Especially when it came to her brother because she always tried to change the subject.

“By the way, what kind of person is Julian from your point of view, Kaisaf?”

“In a word, he is an elusive man …….

“Elusive ……?

“I’ve only been involved with him once, so I don’t know him that well. That’s the impression I got. Compared to that, Natalie is easy to understand.”

“Natalie is easy to understand?”

“Yes, very. Very much so. Owen should know that.”

“Eh, what’s on ……?”

“Nothing. It’s nothing.”

Kaisaf smiled meaningfully.

“Oh, by the way, ……. How are you and Monet these days?”

“Why does Monet come up?”

“You guys always seem to get along so well, I wouldn’t be surprised if you two were dating.”

In fact, I’ve seen the two of them together several times and they seem to enjoy each other’s company.

Monet is very salty towards Kaizaf, but it’s obvious that he hates him.

“Haha, you’ve got to be kidding me. She and I don’t have that kind of relationship.”

“Oh, really? Well, what kind of relationship do you have?”

I asked with a sly grin.

“The kind that should be …… adversaries.”

Oh, come on, “adversary” is a serious word.

“Well, does that mean you’re rivals?”

“Oh, yeah. Something like that. Sorry about that. I’m sorry to interrupt your practice.”

And with that, Kaisaf stepped back.

“Keep up the good work.”

He turned around and walked out of the training center.

After practicing gravity magic for a while, I left the training center when the sun was setting.
