Vol. 4 - Chapter 210 - Splendid growth of the young girl hailed as a "Wonder child"

2nd May.

For freshmen, this is the day when their academy life truly begins.

The academy was gradually regaining its temporary tranquilly after the night of the final appraisal day, which conferred great excitement, tears, dreams and ambition.

Whether their dream has come to fruition or will remain an untouchable reality, whether they were laughing or crying yesterday, today is the new school term for all.

Changing their emotions and staring at their job. Whatever the result was, it was now time for them to strive and study hard for their future lives.

However, there are those who want to defy their fate (?), and in this case we have a girl refusing to admit the reality.

"Hey, Zephyr-kun. Can I really not go to your side?"

"Well, Hannah, don't you major in production? "This is for the dungeon capture majors. "

On a fine day, befitting of welcoming the new academy term, a pair of boys and girls dressed in the academy's uniform are having such a conversation at a certain crossroad.

Naturally, it was me and Hannah.

"Sigh, this is the nth time I'm saying, you can't, means you can't. Or rather, it's simply impossible. For alchemists, they can't switch to a dungeon capture major. "

"It's too bad that everyone in Eden but me is a combat major."Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

"Well, it would be troublesome if we were to transfer from the <Alchemist> class. So, stay there like an obedient child, Hannah. "

"Hmph~"

Hannah when she puffed her cheeks 一一 although she understood what I was trying to say, it still didn't convince her. She looks really cute though.

"The uniform looks great on you, Hannah. You look really adorable."

"O, ohh, really? It's great if you like---or wait, isn't this the 5th time you're repeating it from this morning, Zephyr-kun! You don't think you can deceive me with your sweet talk, do you!?"

Oops, she caught me. I was able to escape until now by completing her uniform, but it seems it can no longer be used.

Today's the first day of the new school term. In other words, it's the day the class will be split up. Or rather, it would be more correct to say the whole first day will be used for class reorganization.

After all, the appraisal yesterday almost continued till the calendar changed its day, so they shouldn't have enough time to split up classes.

It's more so because the appraisal was done with keeping speed as the biggest priority, so there is an unusually high chance of someone being omitted or having other trouble, and thus, today's whole day is supposed to double check it.

The students would first head to the major they aspire to and weigh the affinity between their job and major. They will then enter the respective major if they find it worthwhile, and the lesson they are going to take next will be dependent on which section they find suitable for themselves.

In case they don't find it worthwhile, they will be recommended to another major.

"Come, Hannah-san. Have you already come up with your freshmen representative's speech? "

"Fuee-, ah, y-yes. More or less. But maybe you think about someone else. "

"Don't say anything like someone else again, Hannah-san. You're that amazing <Alchemist> who has set an unprecedented record no one could nearly reach in the records of the academy from its beginning. Please have more confidence in yourself. "

"I-I understand."

It seems like Hannah is going to give her speech as a freshmen representative in the production major department.

Lv52 has its wonders. I guess teachers have high expectations of her. Even though the person in the spotlight is striving to turn a blind eye to this.

So I guess when she shut herself in her room yesterday afternoon, she must have been working hard for speech. And wheedled in the coaxing skill coming from Aiz-sensei, who has many years of experience in such matters, Hannah seems to have accepted it in the end.

"Zephyr-kun一"

"You can do it, Hannah. I'm cheering for you. "

Hannah too waved her hand in response as she said my name in an almost teary voice when I waved my hand to encourage her.

The only thing I could do was to cheer her.

"Oh, pardon me. You must be the <Brave> Zephyr, right? I'm Aiz, working as head teacher in the production major. Feel free to call me Aiz-sensei. "

"Yes, I know. It's my honour for you to remember me. Please take care of Hannah today. She seems to be awfully nervous. "

"It's my pleasure too. Please leave Hannah-san to me. I will make sure to support her, so have no worry. "

"Fueee!?"

I exchanged greetings with Aiz-sensei and left Hannah in her care. I guess Hannah will be receiving her support for the freshman representative speech. Things seem to be getting bigger and bigger in places I'm not present.

And Hannah looks as if she has been struck by lightning.

Is she really going to be fine? I couldn't help but be worried about her. But maybe it will be fine under the care of the veteran Aiz-sensei.

Seeing Hannah and Aiz-sensei off at the crossroad, I also headed to the building for dungeon capture major.

Goal: <Dungeon Capture Major • Combat Division>.

T/N : and here begins our 4th arc - "Dungeon Activity, and the first look at its real academy life".

Right off the bat we have a teary farewell (?). Hannah-chan moment after too long but a fleeting one. Well, time to see what the author has in their bag for us in this arc.

By the way, author is also writing Hannah-chan separate story. Naturally it's about how she's receiving attention, all alone without any acquaintance and also her becoming the school council member which can't be added into the main story.
