The entrance ceremony of the magic academy is done in a large auditorium .

It is not a building like a gymnasium in my previous life, but it is a building with an atmosphere similar to a stone church or an old castle .

The freshmen were gathered inside the large auditorium in formal wear, which consists of a black robe over the white-based uniform .

Some of the Ignitian students are telling their escort dragons to be quiet .

The prefects, who are called the Gold Cuffs, are urging us freshmen to line up .

The prefects are special students chosen by the princ.i.p.al among the students who are within the top seven in the senior grade .

They have the right to correct the student regulations, play a special role in school events, and sometimes penalize students .

I guess it is similar to the image of a public moral committee .

Embroidered on the sleeve of the Gold Cuffs’ uniform in golden thread is the crest of a lion and the founder’s words ‘n.o.bility shown with action’ .

This year, there are 30 freshmen in each dormitory .

Since there are five dormitories: East Dorm, West Dorm, South Dorm, North Dorm, and Central Dorm where the scholars.h.i.+p students stay, there are 150 freshmen in total .

The freshmen made a row for each dormitory and with the prefects in the lead, entered the auditorium .

There is no lighting in the auditorium and when the prefects closed the door, the surrounding became dark .

Suddenly, a small fire glowed on the stage of the large auditorium .

An old man wearing a gray robe was standing on the stage, and that fire appeared to be lit up in front of his staff .

The old man cast a few words of spell and breathed on the fire .

Then, the fire at the tip of the staff scattered golden sparks and expanded greatly .

The flame released from the staff flew around the ceiling of the large auditorium and lit the candles of the hanging chandelier .

It was like a living thing .

Perhaps it was an artificial spirit made of flame .

When the interior of the large auditorium became bright, I noticed a lot of people standing beside the old man on the stage .

Among them is Elric Actorius-sensei .

Which means, those are the teachers of the magic academy .

“Young students, welcome to Lindis Magic Academy . ”

The mage with gray robe – the princ.i.p.al of this term, Reuel Twr, opened his mouth with a gentle smile .

When seen in a bright place, the princ.i.p.al was tall and had a masculine built .

Twr family, which is distinguished for its magical constructions, had many marriage relations.h.i.+ps with aristocrats .

As a result, I heard that the princ.i.p.al has inherited the blood of the four royal families .

After the short speech from the princ.i.p.al, the introduction of the teachers and this term’s lessons began .

First of all, Enid Môr .

A beautiful woman of unknown age dressed in black robe with glossy black hair .

Although she originates from a Marquis house and many asked for her hand in marriage, as of yet she still maintains her unmarried status .

There is a rumor saying that she is married to the academy and that the cla.s.swork is her spouse .

The one I am familiar with, Elric Actorius-sensei .

Actorius-sensei would also become a new teacher starting this term .

After his graduation, he was employed as an a.s.sociation member of the Essentia Magic Society .

He seems to have been chosen as a temporary faculty member from the Magic a.s.sociations because he acquired the teaching qualifications while studying abroad .

He is in charge of the freshmen’s Magizoology .

Actorius-sensei, who is 26 years old this year, is still as youthful as ever .

His appearance has hardly changed since I first met him .

He is as clumsy as usual; when he was saying his greetings, he b.u.mped his head against his own staff due to his nervousness .

His eyegla.s.ses were misaligned due to that, but he didn’t mind it and was smiling honestly .

Then, the introduction of the remaining teachers continued .

When I confirmed the faces of the teachers in charge of the lessons I wanted to choose, I decided to check another important matter .

I secretly took out the wand I put inside the sleeve of my robe .

I took out Raptor Sight .

It is a wand that can obtain the effect of telescopic vision and magnified vision .

The target should be in the row for the Central Dorm in which the King’s Scholars belong .

Judging roughly, she shouldn’t be in front of me .

Looking back, I found the figure of the target at the end of the line .

(Yup, there she is . She is conspicuous just by being there . )

Ice-blue crystal clear eyes which seem to draw gazes unconsciously .

Light brown hair with a gentle hue like milk tea in a thick braid .

Her skin is white with blood vessels thinly showing through .

Slightly rose-colored cheeks and lips .

When she looked down listlessly, her long eyelashes formed shadows on her cheeks .

A beautiful girl with both sharp ice-like cleanness along with sweet and lovely facial features .

Heroine of the girl game 『Liber Monstrorum』, Chloe Cloacina .

She was such a girl .

Beside Chloe, there is also Beatrice Glaw of the second integral event .

She has coral-colored eyegla.s.ses and her black hair is in simple braids .

The eyes behind her eyelids and her long eyelashes, which tend to be cast down, are of a gentle hazel color which is a mixture of light brown and dark green .

She was indeed a girl with an impression of being too serious, modest, and fragile .

(I hope both of us can survive . )

When I was staring at Beatrice while feeling an affinity with her, our eyes accidentally met .

Beatrice had a surprised expression on her face and my body froze .

S-sorry .

I didn’t intend to intimidate you!

Please forgive me because the look in my eyes is naturally evil!

Let’s smile with the atmosphere of ‘I have no animosity towards you, you know~’ as much as possible .

—Bang!

From the platform, I heard the sound of a staff being hit strongly on the floor .

I corrected my att.i.tude in spite of myself .

The surrounding students also straightened their spines .

Brad Clochydd was introducing himself .

He is in charge of Summoning Magic .

While he is a teacher, he is also the Earl of the Clochydd territory at the south of Lindis .

He was a capture target of 『Liber Monstrorum』, and he was reputed as being extremely difficult .

Pale white skin and l.u.s.trous black hair .

The eyes behind the gla.s.ses, which have an intellectual and s.a.d.i.s.tic impression, are reddish purple .

With almond-shaped eyes and thin lips, he was exuding a cold-hearted and strict atmosphere .

He covered himself with a black robe over his immaculate aristocratic outfit .

He seems to be in the same generation as my brother and Actorius-sensei, but I don’t know his actual age .

“How deplorable, it seems that some of you think that there is nothing to learn in this school any longer . ”

While Brad said such a thing, he was looking this way with a scornful gaze .

I feel like I’m being stared at, but is it just my imagination?

“A lot of those with power will get conceited, forgetting about respect and caution . Sometimes there are those of you who deviate greatly from their duty to study……but, you shouldn’t forget . We are always watching you . ”

Brad looked around the students, finally gazed at the area where I was in and then returned to the row of teachers .

That surprised me . I thought that the fact that I was using a wand was exposed .

I wonder if he said such a thing because he knew about it .

I became worried a bit as I was planning to select Summoning Magic lesson .

After the self-introduction, the teachers came down from the platform .

In exchange, the Gold Cuffs and the student council which is called the Dynameis1, with two sets of students from each group, appeared .

Dynameis is an organization aimed for self-governing within the academy .

If the Gold Cuffs is selected from the senior grade by the nomination of the princ.i.p.al, the Dynameis is elected from among the students by nomination of the current members .

It seems that they basically select the students who are rich in talent and blessed with looks and background .

Eduart-oniisama seems to have belonged to the Dynameis during his academy year .

The Dynameis has variety of roles .

Flashy things such as festival management when All Souls’ Day Festival starts .

Modest things such as reciting holy scriptures during the weekend prayers .

To make up for imposing many duties and responsibilities on the Dynameis, they gain some privileges .

For example, the use of a special discourse room dedicated to the Dynameis, and they are allowed to modify their uniforms as long as they don’t deviate too much .

Some of the Dynameis lined up on the stage are flas.h.i.+er than the others .

While looking absentmindedly, Klaus and Auguste also climbed onto the platform .

Speaking of which, they both said that they have entered the student council .

Unlike other student council members, it seems that they have not modified their uniforms .

The two of them who are 16 years old now have become much more mature .

Klaus has grown taller and his shoulders have become wider and he has a firm body .

His voice has become low and his face looks serious, but when he is with me or Auguste, he can show a childish innocent expression .

It is just like a transition period from a boy to a young man .

His short black hair is as smooth as ever, and his blue eyes are clear like sapphire .

In a serious occasion like right now, he expresses a slightly troubled, sharp facial expression as if he is exhausted .

Unlike the gloomy and ruthless feeling like in the original game, he has a strict but gentle atmosphere .

I also feel that his personality has grown into that of a caring worry-wart, rather than an ‘Ore-sama Do-S’ .

(It’s understandable, as he is labouring with Eduart-oniisama every day . )

Auguste has also become tall but has a figure that seems to be more delicate than Klaus’ .

Even though I said that, while he looks slender in clothing, he is in fact a thin man with well-defined musculature of someone who trains himself without slacking .

Auguste has also become tall but has a figure that seems to be more delicate than Klaus’ .

Even though I said that, while he looks slender in clothing, he is in fact a thin man with well-defined musculature of someone who trains himself without slacking .

He seems to be feeling inferior about his musculature .

I think his sweet and delicate features suit him as it is right now .

His shoulder-length blonde hair look like fine silk threads . And his violet-colored eyes have a mysterious hue .

His pure white skin and fine texture is the envy of the female population .

In the original game, he had a s.e.xy atmosphere and dark skin, but those were probably due to his fusion with Palug .

His expression is bright, like a prince who grew up comfortably in an orthodox school .

Both of them have lived a much different life from the original game, but I feel relieved that their expressions are bright .

The appearance of those two people was gathering the longing looks from the freshman girls .

(They are very popular, huh~ well, that’s just natural though . )

While turning around from the charming gazes, suddenly my eyes met with Klaus’ .

He furrowed his eyebrows and stared at me with sharp eyes .

Apparently, he seems to have noticed that I was observing using Raptor Sight .

(Klaus-sama is as serious as ever, huh . But, this should be fine, right?)

It seems that Auguste also noticed Klaus’ glance at me .

He laughed a little bit and winked towards this direction .

Auguste elbowed Klaus and whispered something, Klaus looked away from me with an unhappy look .

Anyway, I wonder if I have a face that is easy to spot by people from Hafan .

Not only Klaus, but also Brad has stared at me .

It feels like the situation where I was being watched blatantly by a senior due to some discrepancies .

The Dynameis’ greeting was over and the princ.i.p.al and Brad came out onto the platform once again .

“Now then, we’ll perform magical power judgement on every freshman . I’ll ask Clochydd-sensei to take charge of the judgement . ”

“From here, you will be moving to the 〈Judgement’s Room〉 . I will ask you to follow me quietly . Senior students should guide the freshmen so that they will not get lost . ”

The Gold Cuffs and Dynameis divided and guided the freshmen rows according to Brad’s instruction .

Will I be able to receive the lessons I want to receive?

Not only me, but the other freshmen also seem to be excited with antic.i.p.ation and tension .
