Good morning!

Fron greeted me.

Fron had been talking to me quite a bit since we formed our party.

I guess she thought we had gotten a little closer.

Yes, I hope you had a good day too, Lady Fron. Instructor Aress class was pretty tough yesterday.

Hmph, nothing is too much for this lady!

When I poked her in the bicep, Fron clamped her mouth shut as if trying to hold back a scream.

It seemed she was suffering from muscle pain because of Aress training.

Just you wait.

Yes, Ill be sure to check it out next time.

I turned my back on Fron, who was tearfully backing away, and looked around for Luna.

Found her.

Luna was slumped over her desk by the window, her head buried in her arms.

I approached Luna.

Poke.

And poked her shoulder.

.

However, Luna only flinched; she didnt turn around or acknowledge me.

Why was she acting like this all of a sudden?

I felt a sudden sense of awkwardness.

Until now, she would tremble but still respond when I spoke to her, but now she seemed unwilling to even answer.

Feeling a bit annoyed, I whispered softly in her ear,

Get up.

Eek!

Luna jolted awake as if my voice had tickled her ear.

Oh, it was just Adel. You startled me.

I tried to surprise you since you werent responding at all.

Uh-huh.

Lunas expression relaxed as she recognized me, but then it turned gloomy again.

It seemed like her emotions were quite volatile.

Luna, who had used honorifics with me when we first met, had finally started speaking informally.

She had suggested that I speak comfortably with her, but I had firmly refused.

It was obvious that it wouldnt look good if I used honorifics with some classmates while speaking informally with others.

However,

You dont look well. Did something happen?

I asked, noticing that Luna didnt seem to be in good shape.

Luna panicked and shook her head.

No, nothing happened.

I asked with my eyes half-open,

Really?

Yes, really.

Alright.

Adels beast-like senses were telling me that there was no way nothing had happened, but

Since Luna was adamantly denying it, I couldnt offer any solutions.

However, I had some suspicions.

One week.

It was more than enough time for the students to differentiate between the weak and the strong within the class.

They wouldnt dare touch me, but

It would be easy enough to target a weak and vulnerable half-breed.

Luna, who lacked confidence despite her decent mana capacity

Is there a more suitable prey for the students who burn with hatred for half-demons and humans?

I looked down at Luna with suspicious eyes.

Its okay.

.

Nothing happened.

Luna simply shook her head with a faint smile.

Only then did I shrug my shoulders.

She was insisting that nothing had happened.

What could I do in this situation?

Besides, Luna and I werent close enough to help each other, and excessive kindness would only burden both of us.

Clang, clang-.

As I was gazing at Luna, the bell signaling the start of homeroom rang.

That meant Idea would be entering the classroom soon.

I returned to my seat because I knew I would be scolded if I stood up while the ceremony was in progress.

Good morning!

Soon after, Idea, who had entered the classroom, shouted.

Class president, lead the greeting.

Idea pointed at me.

I let out a small sigh that no one could hear and stood up.

Idea had me stand up to greet the instructor as the student representative.

It had become routine to greet the instructor at the beginning of the ceremony and class.

All students, salute the instructor.

I saluted politely as Idea had instructed.

Behind me, I could hear the voices of some students grumbling about a half-beast representing them.

But I ignored them.

Soon, Idea, who had a satisfied smile on her face, tapped the blackboard.

It was to focus the attention of all the students.

Todays class will be a little special. Were going to have an outdoor class!

I suddenly felt a sense of doubt.

So far, all of Ideas classes had been held outdoors.

To be exact, they had been held in the training ground of the Sytan.

It seemed like she meant that this time, we would have class outside the Sytans territory.

Thats probably why she told us to form teams for the next exercise.

The reason Idea had told us to form teams was for today.

I had thought that the exercise would start, but I didnt know it would start this quickly.

Is it really outside the school, not the training ground if its outdoors?

Thats fun. I didnt think Id be able to go outside even though its not a vacation.

The students were excited.

However, I couldnt get excited easily because I had a rough idea of what the exercise would be.

Today, we will,

kill humans for the first time.
