Cheers~

At the north-eastern district outside the academy, theres a high-class restaurant called Dragons Night. Currently, inside its private room, we were holding up our glasses to celebrate our victory for the day.

Other than Irlin and Princess Michelle, there were also Shir, Aliyah, Falan and the girls, and our classmates.

However, it was Princess Michelles idea to eat in this restaurant. Just like my former world, without having a certain level of identity, it wouldnt be possible to enter a VIP-only restaurant like this.

However

Isnt the notion in this world a bit too exaggerated? Even if our class had more than 30 people, there isnt a need to offer us a room that could hold more than a 100 people, right? A table big enough to sit 50 people, and theres two of them Are you giving us the space to play Three Kingdom Slaughter or Werewolf Slaughter?

(t/n: TKS/WS are Chinese online card games that could hold a lot of people in a single round it seems.)

But, if thats really the case, the game will simply end after everyone draw a single card

But if I were to say something truthful The food in high-class restaurants are indeed delicious. Compared to the food you eat on the streets, theres really a considerably big difference.

Unfortunately, everyone were bombarding me with questions related to magic battles and techniques, and I could only get a spoon full every couple of minutes.

The current atmosphere felt like we already won the Annual Tournament. This however, made me a little worried.

Even though Brechts magic tool was against the rules, however, in fact, thats just a special case.

If our next opponent possess a high-grade cheat-level magic tool that does not go against the rules, what will happen?

This is not something that I shouldnt be worried about. After all, in my match earlier, I already exposed my actual strength. Even though my future opponents wouldnt be sure of the upper limit of my strength, but, they would definitely use all their strength to defeat me right at the start.

Thinking about this, if I were to drop my guard at the beginning of the match earlier, and Brecht decided to drop a full-powered Sunfall at me right at the start, it would definitely have been a difficult fight for me.

What are you thinking about~? Mind telling us how you managed to dodge those attacks again~?

Ah Un. Alright.

No point think about it. It would eventually be a straight route the moment we reach the start of the bridge. We can always talk about this later.

The party ended late in the night, and everyone began to disperse back to their own lodgings.

The male and female dormitories are separated, and there are several nobles in our class, so their dormitories are obviously different from a commoner like me.

And, Im not the type that require a large living space, hence, I picked the cheapest place to live in.

Hence, along the way back, I ended up being the only person left walking to my dormitory.

There arent any curfews set in the academys dormitories, so, its fine to return whenever.

My dormitory was situated in a far and secluded area. At a time like this, people would already be back home or decided not to return for the night. Hence, very quickly, the surroundings slowly became quiet.

However, I dont really feel bored walking back alone. After all, through the walls, I could still see the names of people nearby.

Its rather interesting to drop some tsukkomis on titles that some people have, and I could also find out a lot of information from looking at their titles.

For example, the guy named Madair on the right, he had titles like [Stingy] and [Traveler]. From these two titles, I could judge that hes someone that does small-scale trading, as hes not an actual merchant just yet. Hence, from this, I could deduce that title [Merchant] would not appear on anyone who simply does trading.

And the person called Dan behind me, why does his name look so weird

Wait, his name is Dan?

I seem to recall someone with this name, and its very recent as well.

Because his name corresponds to someone else, called Dual. And if I recall, shes a 17 year old muscular girl

Alright, this isnt the point. The point is, why is Princess Michelles bodyguard following me?

I looked around my surroundings, and I did not see Princess Michelles name.

That girl actually has a magic tool capable of invisibility? Thats impossible, right? If her bodyguard did not use it, why would she use hers?

Then the only explanation is This guy especially came to look for me?

Is there something you need? Is it something that we have to spend time talking about in my dorm over a cup of tea, or is it something that can be easily settled outside?

I looked in Dans direction for quite a while. That guy seemed to have hesitated for a bit, before coming out from the shadows.

Haaa This guy is actually covered entirely in black. What is he planning to do?

I dont like men, you know.

As expected, Fir, to be able to sense that I was following you, youre beyond ordinary. Even though I did not hide intentionally, but normally, people would not be able to sense my presence. You did not intentionally look around for people who might be following you, rather, you saw me the moment you casually turned. It seems your actual strength is indeed above the level of this schools Elementary Grade.

Usually, when youre silent, was it because youre trying to be a mukuchi? When you suddenly said so much in a single breath, its really hard to adapt, you know?

(t/n: mukuchi: http://www.tanoshiijapanese.com/dictionary/entry_details.cfm?entry_id=51158)

Mukuchi? Whats that?

Dont mind it. Oh well. I will answer you. Its just easy for me to look for people that are hiding in my surroundings. And you did not use any hiding-related skills, so it was natural that I could see you.

Is that so? I did not expect you have such an ability.

Lets put that aside. What are you trying to do by following me, while dressed entirely in black? Are you planning to do something to me?

Of course not. Im Princess Michelles professional bodyguard. And the princess still needs to rely on you to win the Annual Tournament, so I cant lay my hands on you.

I cant see his expression. Although his tone sounded rather relaxed, however, he did not have any intonation to his words at all, and it felt horrible.

Then, why?

Because theres someone who wish to avoid Princess Michelle and talk to you directly.

What the hell? Why does a hidden scenario have to happen late in the night? Cant you at least give me a chance to sleep?

Hey, look at how tired I am from today, and let me get some rest.

Do you mind telling me, who is it?

Although sleep is important, however, I cant reject a situation where I might be able to earn something good.

Follow me and you will find out. Trust me, and trust Princess Michelle. We will definitely not harm you.

So what if you harm me? I can resurrect as long as Im in the city. What can you do to stop me?

Alright, lead the way.

He nodded, and turned towards the alley.

Sighing, I chased after his name.

And then, this guy, after applying pressure to his feet, he actually jumped onto the top of the building when he entered the alley!

Oh my freaking god! Do you actually think I can fly!?

(t/n: Umm you can, dude.)

I helplessly shook my head. Tapping on Light Steps and Accelerate, I jumped onto the second floor. After that, I borrowed the balconies at the side and slowly jumped up.

Please, stop making a Magician do what a Warrior do!

Arent you able to keep up with me just fine?

With no words to fight back, this guy was seriously pissing me off.

However, for the possibility of a hidden quest, I will endure!

After sprinting across roofs for several minutes, we returned to the commercial district.

Although it was already time for bed, but some stores were still open.

Dan leapt for couple of times, and landed on a balcony of an unknown restaurant. He then walked in.

I followed after him and went in as well.

So youre Fir? As expected Youre strong!

The person in front of gave me a huge fright. After all, I read about him in the librarys information terminal!

Hur Ice Afungus

The Emperor of Ice Empire!

And Princess Michelles father!
