Vol. 4 - Chapter 17 - Encouragement for the first match



The match between the third year C class and third year B class is over. It seemed to be quite a close contest, and amidst the cheers, the representative of the B-3 class waved his right with a look of joy even though he was nearly at his limit.

Well then, next is my student's match. The professor in charge is obliged to wait by the circular platform in the shape of a cylinder, which is set up in a predetermined position in the arena where they will actually fight.

"It's about the time"

"I see. Tell the G class to not overdo"

After seeing the [Fireball] magic in Mia's magic performance test, Sieg's thinking has now shifted to how to minimize the damage. Well it might be understandable if the match of the top players is at that level in the academy.

"Okay"

I nodded and turned towards the designated arena.

This arena, which is also the no 1 arena of the magic academy, is oval shaped, with reddish brown ground surface and audience seats surrounding it.

On top of the arena, there are three large, 30-centimeter-high round platforms on which the students will play their matches.

(There they are)

Right next to the round platform, there was a parasol chair of tarpaulin cloth and a chair and table placed under it.

I guess it's there they shit and send instructions to the students. It's like a sports coach.

As I took a seat there while having such an impression emerge in my mind, my gaze collided with the blonde haired mushroom hairstyle professor who was lying back with legs outstretched in the front seat.

He's the process professor in charge of Class A, Mathew Muru. If I'm not wrong, he's majoring in flame assault magic. He's a fellow who comes to fight me like that cheap vice principal everytime we meet each other.

[Gathering geniuses with outstanding bloodlines from all over, and inviting the best adventurers and mages in the Empire for gifted education. They are kids who are expected to become the cornerstone of the empire!!]

As if responding to the excitement of the venue that still shakes the eardrum, the green haired host pointed her left hand to the G class, and then一一

[Facing the A-3 class is the leftover of the academy 一一 class G! And the one in charge of class G is the current lord of Rudol, who's currently growing rapidly! The Lord is a persona who can do crazy things! He leads the commoners of the Rudol who were struggling with poverty and won against the army of the Amuzreth kingdom, who boast overwhelming strength!!]

The venue immediately changed from the cheering praise for class A-3 to the boos.

I had thought that it would just end with a short introduction of the class G or the disclosure of the fact of cheating. I hadn't even expected such an ambiguous introduction which isn't in anyone's interest.

Apparently, it seems to be the same for the professors belonging to the pure bred aristocrats, as they are panicking furiously.

[I can't even imagine at what point the brats of class G have been strengthened. But by chance, what if!! How is it? You guys are excited, aren't you?]

A fierce booing resounded from the audience for the host and other half were contemplating.

In the midst of that, students arrived at my side.

"Sensei!"

The students look at me with raised eyebrows and serious faces. It would be tactless to say anything more to them.

"Show them who you are!"

I gave them a short instruction while raising the corner of my mouth.

「「「「「Yes!」」」」」

Everyone gave a loud nod and then students went up to the round platform which is the venue for the match.
