Last Class Standing – 2
Ainter, Tanian was absent. Ryutis and Later participated. Louise and Erich are the type that won’t cause any big problems if left alone.
This is a very familiar situation. The position during the practical exam in the first semester. The situation is so stable that you can even feel the illusion of being at ease.
‘Are these two the problem?’
Eyes were drawn to red and blue, which boasted a crazier presence today. Without these two, 70% of the commotion in the club would disappear.
But what can I do? The fight for pride between Armin, the second in national power, and Juven, the third, and the rivalry between swords and magic that seems to go hand in hand with human history. There are more reasons to quarrel than to be good together. The personalities of Ryutis and Later are also on the opposite side.
Rather, it’s a level I’m grateful for, with such penalties piled up and crashing like the kids in the neighborhood. Wouldn’t it be okay if we didn’t really fight in the first place?
‘It would have been better if I had fought elsewhere.’
Why bother people who come to the academy.
If I keep looking at them, I thought I would burn my insides, so I quietly looked away. Perhaps Aphels, who created this academy, is the root of all evil. It was a country that deserved to perish.
And then, when I turned my gaze, I saw Louise staring blankly into space, as if she was thinking about something.
“What’s wrong?”
Just in time, Erich also spoke to Louise first, as if he had discovered it. I was curious too, but it worked. These days, when Louise just wants to talk to me, he says he can’t talk to me because he’s freaking out.
“I just wanted to see which class would win.”
“It will definitely be fierce this year.”
With those words, Erich’s gaze turned once to the two idiots who were performing the Sword Law Rashiko, and once to Ainter who was still watching.
The class in which one of those three belongs will win. Except for Tanian, since he doesn’t seem to care who wins.
“We can do it comfortably.”
Louise, following Erich’s gaze and looking at the leading candidates for the championship, said with a bright smile.
The results are fixed anyway, so an ordinary freshman like Louise can really enjoy it like a sports day. There is no need to aim for the championship like in the fair, and it is not reflected in the grade like in the practical test.
“That’s right. Winning doesn’t give anything away.”
In the meantime, I heard Erich’s words as if the romance had disappeared. You have become a capitalist who does not move if there is no profit.
‘I grew up well.’
Actually, me too. If you have nothing to gain, lying on your stomach is noble.
“The final four-person battle would be perfect.”
“What a coincidence. I had the same idea.”
And the two idiots who were whispering about something succeeded in making a compromise among themselves.
‘Is it a four-person battle?’
According to Villar’s wishes, they found out which games they would participate in. Yes, 4-person battles are the most passable.
A four-person battle where each class sends out a party of four, consisting of a class teacher, one swordsman student, one wizard student, and one faculty member who does not have a class assigned.
I don’t know why the last mercenary was added, but it’s a match that decorates the end of the anti-class match. It is the best match for those who show off.
‘It’s fortunate.’
It’s easier to escort if you participate in the same game, not in different matches.
‘Quarter Battle.’
Involuntarily, his gaze turned to Erich. When I heard that it was a 4-person battle, Erich automatically came to mind.
One swordsman and one wizard in each class.
‘It was an event just for you.’
My heart ached. Among the confectionery club, Erich was the only one in the same class as Louise. Even Erich was a swordsman and Louise was a wizard.
It was definitely an event where Erich could be with Louise. We could have gotten along better because of that event.
‘Hold on a little longer.’
I was kicked before the event happened. Would it be a little different if you went through a 4-person battle?
…Coming to think of it, when I went to the Boyar Duchy, I rode in the same carriage as Louise, but nothing happened. It wouldn’t have made much of a difference.
My heart ached in a different way than before.
I told not only Villar but also Marghetta that Lutis and Later were participating in the 4-man match.
The academy has to think about their comfort, too. Apart from the principal going around the stadium, the student council should also prepare.
“It’s fortunate. If it’s a 4-player battle, we can react quickly if something happens.”
She nodded as she watched Marghetta let out a sigh of relief.
The 4-person match is the final match of the class match and the most spectacular match. Thanks to this, wizards and priests capable of healing magic will flock to it, so even if someone is injured, it can be quickly repaired.
Of course, it’s best to have nothing happen, but the relief of having insurance can’t be ignored. Peace of mind is comfortable when you work.
“I’d rather half of the two of you win the championship.”
“I feel the same way.”
Obviously, the picture is not bad if the class that won the last match wins. Even during field trip recreation, don’t scores spread at the end?
If that’s the case, the half of Ainter won’t even be able to challenge for the championship, but the half will have two more matches. Let’s make concessions to foreign countries only this year.
And Marghetta, who smiled slightly at my agreement, opened her mouth again.
“By the way, Carl, are you doing well these days?”
“Yes?”
That was too sudden. Is there anything wrong with you?
“The confectionery club is so lively. It’s like what the members did.”
At those words, I quickly recalled the current situation of the members, but there was nothing new.
These days, nothing happens except for the half fight, and even the half fight, which can be said to be a big deal, informs Marghetta whenever something happens. There’s nothing particularly special about it.
“Yes, fortunately nothing happened.”
“Is that so?”
Seeing Marghetta tilting her head as if it were strange, I felt a little uneasiness. If you see Marghetta weighing things like this, he knows something. Because I’m not the kind of person who does this for no reason.
‘A club thing I don’t even know about?’
It’s terrible. I was watching with lights on like that, but something happened to my nose?
Damn it, at least I should know. If something is out of my sight, there is no solution.
But judging from Marghetta’s reaction, it seems like it’s still in its infancy. If something went wrong, Marghetta wouldn’t have been this calm, and the principal and Villars would have been in touch with me.
“Mar, is something wrong?”
My question got Marghetta in trouble this time.

No, why?
***
Something unexpected happened.
“Yes, fortunately nothing happened.”
My head tilted automatically at Carl’s answer. Strange, can’t it be? Did nothing really happen?
It was an answer that made me doubt Carl for a moment. There’s no way Carl would lie to me, but it was such an unexpected answer.
When I looked into Carl’s eyes just in case, they were clear eyes with no shame.
Yeah, Carl seems innocent.
‘Why?’
As I confirmed Karl’s innocence, my doubts grew.
I thought something had happened a long time ago. Because I personally gave permission. Because it seemed like he understood exactly what I was saying.
‘Lady Louise…’
What are you doing?
Behind the doubt, there was a feeling of desolation for no reason. No, why?
I’d rather understand if Lady Louise had an indecisive and sluggish personality. However, isn’t Lady Louise a person who can make a river to organize all the members? It is impossible to do with ordinary determination and action.
“Mar, is something wrong?”
I quietly lowered my eyes at Carl’s words. There is something going on. I don’t know if it’s okay to tell Carl.
First of all, since I have allowed Lady Louise to become the second, I have no intention of interfering with Lady Louise. If there was an opportunity to speak positively of Lady Louise to Carl, he would do so any time.
But this situation is ambiguous. What if Lady Louise is staying still for some reason? I’m just fooling around
“When I saw Lady Louise a while ago, I thought she was worried.”
In the end, after thinking about it, I opened my mouth moderately. If I said this, Carl would pay more attention to Lady Louise.
I can think of it as being responsive and considerate. I don’t do this to just anyone, but since I’m with the same husband, I was particularly concerned.
“Did Marga look like that?”
The thing is…?
‘Even from my point of view?’
So even from Carl’s point of view, Lady Louise is something strange.
“Strangely, he looked at me for a while.”
“Ah, yes.”
I’ll take a look. The person you like is right in front of you.
After that, Carl said something like this. The more I listened, the more my mind wandered. Because there was something I could guess from Lady Louise’s appearance.
“When I spoke to them, they avoided or turned away.”
“I see.”
That’s right. That’s right what I was thinking.
‘It’s embarrassing.’
I barely managed to hold back the sigh. Lady Louise, even though I gave you the best chance, what should I do?
I understand. The one who fell in love first loses, so I understand that you become infinitely small and tremble in front of the knife. Still, I have to overcome that trembling and move on. I thought I approached Carl because I had no shame.
Rather, it was a situation where I was kicked once, so I needed more courage. I was sure that Carl and I were destined in heaven, and that someday they would definitely be by my side, but it was embarrassing to be ashamed.
“That’s why I’m so worried. You seem to be worried about something, but you won’t open your mouth.”
“I will. I’m worried too.”
I’m worried for a different reason than Carl.
But something is strange. Aside from Lady Louise, who wastes time without being able to summon up the last courage, wouldn’t Carl be on the bad side?
If you have bad eyesight, you cannot rise to the current position. And you pushed me away in the past. Pushing away means you know my feelings.
‘Why is Lady Louise?’
I know, but why don’t you understand Lady Louise’s heart?
Of course, I actively expressed it, but Lady Louise didn’t just talk, she was expressing it with her whole body. Not too long ago, a woman who wore five men only hesitates in front of her and looks at her. You can’t even see this?
This is a strange thing. It would be impossible unless you see Lady Louise as something other than the opposite sex.
“It would have been nice if there were other female members in the club, but it’s a pity.”
Anyway, it seems that the path that Lady Louise has to walk is a little rough.
Everyone got debuff when coming to Louise
