Afterwards, we drank the tea that Marie had made for us and talked about the orientation that would start tomorrow. Today's tea is Earl Grey. It has a nice citrus aroma. And the teacakes were macarons.
Marie was sitting on a chair next to the door, brushing Leon's fur. She couldn't get enough of the fluffy texture. Her face was relaxed.
"Tomorrow the S class is going to have a lecture by the Sword Saint of the Wind. So I'm going to ask for a demonstration. It will be great."
Angel took a sip of her tea and then broached the subject.
"Tojurou is relentless. Be prepared to face him."
"You can count on it."
Chris and Angel started to talk about swordsmanship, so I turned to Tria. If I started talking about swordsmanship, Tria wouldn't be able to keep up.
"I heard that Class A is going to have a special instructor."
" I wonder who it is?"
" I heard we'll have to wait until the end of the day to find out."
"I'm not saying it's something to look forward to, but ...... it's kind of scary."
"What if it's a very unique teacher?"
The teachers at the Magic Academy are all a little strange. To put it nicely, they're unique.
Teachers belong to the Academy of Magic, so they wear robes. It is normal for them to have unique embroidery on the back of their robes, or for them to modify them like I did.
As a teacher is given a laboratory in the academy, he/she spends most of the time outside of class secluded there. There are teachers who sleep in and go home once a week, and there are teachers who live there permanently.
Tojurou-san also has a laboratory, but he has rented a room at the embassy in Hinoshima, so he goes back to the embassy after classes are over.
Every once in a while, he comes to the townhouse to have a friendly spar with my brother, have dinner, and then leave. He was definitely there for the food.
Tojurou-san is also a unique individual, but he is still a very healthy one.
One student visited a teacher's laboratory to ask a question but was so scared that he/she ran back after hearing strange voices coming from inside.
Another student saw a mysterious object in the lab. Curiosity got the better of him, and when he approached it cautiously, a woman with shaggy hair came out from behind him and said, "Mi~ta~na~."
In any case, students avoid going near the teachers' laboratories due to the bad rumors circulating.
However, some students are aware of this and still go to the labs.
For example, the president of the student council, Marguerite, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. And my brother.
In my previous life, I had never been to a teacher's laboratory. I'm curious to see what it's like.
I asked my brother about it and he said.
"There are many interesting things there. You should go visit it once, Rio."
It sounded like fun.
"I heard that the last day was a magic battle between the classes. I won't go easy on you and Rio, you know."
"I won't go easy on Tria or Angel, knowing that."
I may have to go easy on you in certain scenarios. Sorry. Tria, Angel.
The next day, we headed to the intensive magic training center located between the boys' and girls' dormitories. That's because that's where our assigned classroom was.
Chris and I took our seats in the back as usual. Leon sat on my shoulder. This was his default position.
Our classmates always leave the back window seat, where Chris and I usually sit, unoccupied. There was no need to worry about it. ......
"I heard them say it's going to be a special teacher, but what kind of teacher?"
"Really? Hopefully, it won't be someone too crazy."
Chris could have been a little more diplomatic, but he went straight for the punch-line. As a student, she could be forgiven.
But when you make your debut in the social world, you have to have indirect and complicated conversations.
Given Chris's personality, I'm sure she'll be able to handle that.
Chris is particularly relentless when it comes to sarcasm. She would gently and gradually push them into a corner.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likened Chris to a feline beast of prey.
The bell rang for the start of school, and the door opened.
An unexpected person walked into the classroom. It was Kikuno-sama.
She wrote her name on the magic board in front of her. It was in both the language of Findalia and the language of Hinoshima.
Incidentally, the magic board uses a special pen for the board to write the contents of the class.
Some students use magic to copy the contents of the board directly into their notebooks.
The Magic Academy encourages students to take notes with their own hands.
For this reason, the letters on the magic board are enchanted in a way that prevents them from being copied by magic.
"My name is Kujo Kasumi Kikuno."
Kikuno-sama bowed neatly.
One of the students raised their hand, and Kikuno-sama encouraged them to speak.
"Kujo ...... gas, Mi-sensei is ......."
He chewed on his words with great difficulty. It's not easy to pronounce her name.
"I understand that Hinoshima's family name may be difficult to pronounce, so just Kikuno is fine."
"So is Kikuno-sensei acquainted with Tojurou-sensei?"
"Yes."
"Are you lovers?"
"No."
She flatly denied it.
Anyway, I guess we all think the same way. Chris and I also thought that she was Tojurou-san's fiancée when we first met Kikuno-sama.
"So, let's have everyone introduce themselves. Before that, I would like to introduce myself. My name is as I said earlier. I am an ambassador at the embassy of Hinoshima. This time, I was invited by the academy as a special lecturer. My magic attribute is Earth Magic. I look forward to working with you for a week."
"Ambassador? Kikuno-sensei, are you a great person in Hinoshima?"
"My birth family is akin to the Prime Minister in this country, and my father is the current Prime Minister. I myself am a diplomat. I am a diplomat who has been assisting the Kirjuin family, who have been the rulers of our country for generations."
The whole classroom was buzzing.
"I remember that Tojurou-sensei's last name was something like that."
"So you're saying that Tojurou-sensei is royalty?"
"No way! I don't see it!"
I feel like I have seen this before.
"Yes! Quiet, everyone!"
The classroom quieted down as Kikuno-sama clapped her hands.
"Kirijuin-sensei is indeed the son of the ruler of the country, but he has renounced his right of succession, so he is just a wanderer. Oh, and he's a teacher at the magic academy now."
As usual, Kikuno-sama is strict with Tojurou-san.
There was a loud sneeze from the next classroom, "Ha--chooi!" It was Tojurou-san. They say that when someone talks about you, you sneeze, and it might be true.
"So, please introduce yourself in order from the front."
Kikuno-sama turned to the student seated in front of her on the far left.
My classmates began to introduce themselves in turn. The content was primarily names and magical attributes.
Once everyone had finished introducing themselves, Kikuno-sama began her lecture.
" During this time, I will be lecturing on activating your magic. Following the break, everyone should gather at the training center in the courtyard. In the next hour, you will each demonstrate your abilities."
