Vol. 4 - Ch. 16 - Let's Win! - Mia Cyrus

When Mia's performance, last of the G class, finished, Rebecca Sensei approached them.

They couldn't help but gulp down when they saw the expression on her face as she glared at them with her lips tightened, which was clearly too different from her usual demeanor.

"Do you guys know at what rank the magic you guys just displayed now in this empire一, no, In this world?"

"What kind of rank...... "

Not being able to understand what Rebecca Sensei means at all, we all looked at each other in bewilderment.

The rank of the magic they displayed is the highest.

Shirabe Sensei taught all of us top magic that suits each characteristic and gave us the homework to thoroughly master that one magic. Mia and others are intensively studying that one magic, improving it and creating original magic.

The magic they displayed earlier was something without any improvement, which is something they can use as if they were breathing.

Of course, they want to show their best magic. However in this test, precision and accuracy are also taken in account when grading. They don't want to take a gamble. They had a discussion and decided to use the magic they are best at and have confidence in it.

"Is that so..... "

Rebecca Sensei crossed her arms with a strange expression, thinks about it alone but then raised her face and said,

"You guys don't need to worry. Mia-chan of course, I will absolutely not let you guys expel from academy"

She grabbed both of Mia's hands and declared it.

"T, Thank you"

Although they were a bit taken aback by Rebecca Sensei's ghastly attitude, they expressed their gratitude.

After the magic performance exam was over, there was a bit of a long break and then began the opening ceremony for team battle.

The curtains open on the team battle after the academy head and then student's representative, Ronaldo Rose Archive took an oath.

Although the matches of Mia and other class G members would be competing a bit later, for now they are watching the other classes match in the examination hall.

Imperial magic knight academy's first arena 一 one of the two major arena that Imperial capital is proud of. It's a huge facility with three stone pillars set in the vast reddish brown ground and spectator seats surrounding the entire structure. This facility is used not only for the school's events, but also for public events in the nearby Third District.

"If it's not the trashes of class G!"

A petite build man with his blonde haired cropped in mushroom like hairstyle, accompanied by students with the same mushroom hairstyle and wearing luxurious white robe get closer to them.

They remembered this mushroom head man from the entrance ceremony because of his awfully long speech and also that the speech content was disgusting. He's the professor in the charge of third year class A. If I'm not wrong, I feel like he introduced himself as Mathew Muru.

"What do you want, geezer?"

Pluto asked the mushroom head man, Mathew, with a sour look.

"You, Rude一一"

As expected, a tall man with mushroom cut blonde hair behind him screams but Mathew interrupted him off by raising his right hand.

"Don't mind. After all, today's the last day we are seeing their vulgar faces''

He spread his arms over his head and twisted his face in amusement.

"That's really great. You have completed your errand. So just disappear now"

"Oh, don't be like that. I'm in a good mood today thanks to the grace of you guys. I had like to thank you"

"Thank you?"

Asked Pluto, frowning.

It's not like Mathew, who's at professor's position, will make any fortune even if Mia and others are expelled from the academy. If there is any relation一一

"That's right. Thanks to you guys, that cheeky brat would be efficiently expelled from the academy. What would I do if I don't thank you guys for doing this?"

"What are you trying to do to the Sensei!?"

"Hey, hey, it will taint my reputation. Isn't it you guys, not outsiders, who will disqualify that brat?"

"Nonsense! Why are we guys!?"

"Don't be silly. I have heard some interesting information from the examiners."

"Interesting information?"

"Yeah, multiple examiners have unanimously claimed that. Mia Cyrus, you were clearly acting suspiciously during the test and tracing the feathers on your pen."

Mathew nodded, while harrumphing as if he was triumphed.

"That's just the habit of Mia!!"

It's a habit that Mia has when she's pondering, she traces her answers with the feather part of her pen. It will just harm if suspected, so she has always tried to cure it but she subconsciously does that when she's thinking in extreme pressure.

"Not only that, there's also a report from Alan-smaa, the son of Duke Kruger, that Mia Cyrus seemed to be writing on the answer sheets throughout the exam time. Even though the answer sheet was blank. What does it mean by that?"

"It's because that examiner erased Mia's answer!!"

At the disgusting provocation of Mathew, Mia shouted loudly as if she herself was surprised.

"Because of humans huh, as expected of the traitors lineage. However I know that. You guys, who don't have confidence that you will not be able to score enough, received a magic tool with the function that had the ability to memorize and write words. Because that magic tool malfunction, your answer sheet turned blank"

Ridiculous. If there was such a tool, they would have been able to do anything unfair as it pleases. It's an absurd argument.

"What? You can't have a magic tool that is so convenient!"

Pluto also expressed his amazement similar to Mia, half giving up.

At that line, the face of Mathew distorted unsightly,

"Hmph! The evidence has already confiscated"

And he declared, full of confidence.

A chill ran down the spine of Mia when she became aware of Mathew's triumphant look. Speaking of which, because Mia and Cliff didn't have the spare time to sort out their writing tools in the ruckus until they were led by Rebecca Sensei to the room, these guys still have their writing tools seized.

No way一一

"What has happened to Mia's pen?"

"Is it because of others? But this time, that cunning excuse won't work. Above all, we have the evidence"

"There's no way you have any proof!!"

That was just a feather pen. Naturally, it doesn't have any other ability besides writing.

"It's fine if you think so. However, this time we have definite evidence of that guy's unfair means. His destruction is already on the way"

"......"

Mia was so angry and frustrated that she felt like she's going crazy, and she was so ashamed of her for letting that coward in getting better over her that she couldn't endure anymore and started crying.

"Stop it!"

A blonde haired male professor with a swept back hairstyle was glaring at Mathew in a piercing manner. Behind that man were somewhat puzzled Messalina and other students, the members of first year Class A.

Mia knows him. He's Renox Laflaris, the person in charge of Messalina and others, the first year A class.

"Professor Renox, what do you mean?"

Mathew questions the true intention of professor Renox, as he wipes the triumphant expression of his face and frowns in displeasure.

"What are you trying to do by disturbing the students before the exam, when the fact hasn't even been proven yet!"

"Students? These guys are incompetent and worthless beast who doesn't belong to our prestigious academy and will soon be expelled."

"I'm saying to stop your abusive words! All of your actions are in violation of the serious rules that govern the game. I will report this matter to the executive board, so don't worry!"

"Dammit! Let's go!!"

Mathew spit out on the ground and his face contorted in annoyance, then left accompanied together with white robes students.

"You guys, I will deal with this matter. So take the exam without any worry"

Professor Renox told Mia and the others simply without smiling and walked away.

"Damn, what was that!!"

Messalina shouted hysterically and rushed after the professor Renox. The rest of the A class members also followed behind them so as not to leave behind while pulling a confused expression.

"Let's switch. Anyway, all we can do now is win the game and make our presence known."

Eight turned towards Mia and others and suggested with a terrifyingly solemn face.

"But, Sensei一一"

Just as Mia tried to say something,

"I should have told you. What we can do now only is not to sit here and mourn over and cause Sensei to worry about us. What we have to do is win. It's none of our concern since even Sensei might not want us, greenhorns, to be worried about him. Am I wrong?"

Eight interrupted her with a strong tone.

"No, it's just as you said. To begin with, we are talking about him, you know? How could that ridiculously cunning person who can think 100 steps ahead will be caught up in the trap of that mushroom shit head's childish trick"

"Certainly, if it's Sensei who can think of an extremely sinister trick without even batting an eye, who knows if he had already thought of using this chance to reverse the situation and replace all of the academy's professor all together?"

Cliff put his hand on his chin and agreed with Pluto's words.

"Yeah, it sure is possible. Sensei really seemed to enjoy taking out the enemy before"

"Ah, I can understand. It was during the time of the bandit subjugation quest, right? I remember Sensei thoroughly beating the hess of bandit with a smile that even demons wants to flee"

At the Eight's impression, Pluto squinted his eyes in nostalgia.

"I have actually seen a monster fleeing with full speed when it saw the Sensei"

Teresa raises her right hand in pride. No, Teresa, that's not something to be proud of.

"Speaking of which, the other day a fellow merchant was saying that Sensei is a truly terrible person."

"Well the teacher's evaluation from a human to an inhuman is always that of a terrifying person (friend). Though, he really is scary when he actually gets angry"

Everyone nodded again and again at Eight's nonchalant muttering.

"Everyone, you don't have to say that much. I'm sure even a teacher with a heart as thick as a frozen giant tree would be hurt."

At the precisely cautious words of Mia,

"No, no, no, Mia is harsh enough"

Cliff waved his hands from side to side in front of his face. Pluto spurted out a smile as if the dam was broken. Everyone is still anxious, and there's no doubt they are just trying to put up a strong front. Even so, it's not possible for Sensei to be entangled with people of that caliber. They are sure of that much.

"Let's win. That's the best we can do right now."

Mia nodded loudly at Eight's words, and it begins the battle of Mia and the others.
