67 – [ N/A ]
Violet added a word just before leaving.
“I have succeeded. It’s amazing to see A freshman who is already in and out of the president’s office….”
She lowered her voice and she gave small advice.
“And one more thing, the president isn’t the only one inside. There will probably be a head professor, so pay attention.”
“Yes.”
Head Professor. Anyway, no matter who it is, I won’t be nervous.
After Violet left, the huge wooden door opened by itself.
As I heard, it wasn’t just the president inside. Cornette sat in the seat of honor, with a man and a woman sitting on his left and right.
“This is the head professor. This is my secretary.”
Cornette introduced the man and woman in turn.
‘It’s quite classy.’
The mana flow inside the president’s office is calm.
It is said that it is a class of mana that is naturally equipped when magicians with abilities above a certain level gather.
However, the three people are looking at me differently.
Cornette was welcoming me, the secretary was expressionless, and the head professor was looking at me with sympathetic eyes.
“Sit down. I waited for you to come.”
The president smiles and lets go of a chair. I sat down without speaking.
“It’s been a while. Therefore…. It’s the first time since Agora Chess, isn’t it?”
A slight surprise spread across the faces of those sitting on either side of the words that Cornette had uttered abruptly.
Are you surprised by the fact that you played Agora Chess, or by the fact that you have previously played solo… Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter.
I nodded instead of answering.
I am keeping the blank paper I received then. Although the ink is just beginning to emerge.
“Did you see some of the articles that poured in after the coverage?”
“I checked properly.”
“The response was very enthusiastic. By the way, I love this kind of mess.”
Cornette, who had been laughing quietly, asked straight away.
“Do you have a wand?”
“Yes.”
I answered without thinking, but Cornette’s head tilted subtly. The surprise spread to the two people on the left and right.
Only then did I realize that I had answered incorrectly.
My favorite, the wand, is in the previous world. I changed my words.
“No.”
“Aha. Are you interested?”
“Yes.”
It is inevitable that wizards are interested in wands.
It’s not just because of the part that supports magical abilities. This is because the wand has a corner that strangely stimulates the desire to collect.
“Think about the appearance. Once the subjugation is over, I’ll do one for you.”
“… ?”
I doubted my ears.
Wands can’t be cheap in this world. Unsurprisingly, the faces of the other two were astonished.
Mana, circuits, series…. This is because it is never an easy task to make it custom-made for every aspect of the user.
The secretary to the president pushed up his glasses and opened his mouth.
“Students, please show the level of your reaction. It’s nothing else, I heard that he does wands.”
“How much is your budget allowed?”
“… ?”
The secretary’s head tilts slightly. I guess I was expecting a response like ‘thank you’.
Then. The head professor next to me parted his lips to help out. His name tag had the name “Aaron” Written on it.
“President…. Aren’t wands a bit like that? What should I do if I pick an immature, intangible wand at once?”
“I see. Should I sell the academy site at that time?”
The joke slightly eased the atmosphere in the president’s office. Even the secretary, who was expressionless until now, often laughs at Cornette’s words.
“Now, let’s get down to business.”
Cornette parted again.
The reverse side of her fidgeting with the chess pieces was strangely shining.
“The results of the subjugation system at the Faculty of Magic have been poor. No, does saying that it is lousy belong to a compliment? It was rare to even pass the preliminary round.”
The reason why even the wand was offered as a reward was, of course, for this reason.
The results of the subjugation system at the Faculty of Magic are poor. This expression has also been refined a lot, and it is virtually impossible to save.
“Yes. It’s a terrible grade.”
“Yes. So, this time, I want the plan student to do something.”
Inside Cornette’s bizarre station, she turned to her head professor.
“It’s just my wish to the end, and the rest…. Head Professor?”
The head professor flirted with the president’s call. Countless pieces of paper flew towards me.
“Did you say you were a plan student? You made the situation irreparable.”
He looked straight at me and said. There was a bit of dissatisfaction and resentment mixed in her voice.
“Because I wanted that.”
“Thanks to that, even we are losing money. Take a look at the papers you handed over. First of all, you don’t have to squeeze Joe.”
As I hung the papers in the air one after another with my mind, all of these documents contained the students’ information.

While I was checking them one by one, the head professor added a comment.
“You know that the entire academy is on fire right now, right? I only narrowed it down to those who listened to geniuses.”
2Nd year, 2nd year, 2nd year, 2nd year…. But all of them are sophomores. Not a single freshman was included.
“I just want to say let’s prepare for the next event…. By all means, that’s what I said during the interview…. Under.”
At that time, the secretary opened her mouth to the head professor.
“Please soften your words. It is also the president’s opinion that we should do our best in the subjugation system.”
“I’m sorry, I’m saying stuff like this again.”
The head professor tapped me on the chest.
“We can do our best quietly behind the scenes. There’s no need to spread rumors around the neighborhood like this.”
“An invisible fight is also a fight. Public opinion battles should definitely be viewed as one of the events.”
“So, in your eyes, is this public opinion favorable now?”
One thing is certain. Opinions are divided even among high-ranking officials in the Faculty of Magic.
This is also intentional and a natural phenomenon.
“In front of students…. May you both lead by example.”
With a thud, Cornette placed the object on the desk. Then, the interior of the president’s office quickly fell silent.
In this place where the silence was restored, I quietly removed my lips.
“Who made this list?”
“The sophomore professors guessed. I inspected it.”
I said a word to the head professor, who answered sceptically.
“This is…. Is it best?”
“… What?”
I captured the papers spread out in the air with my mind. They are stacked on the floor one after another without the slightest error.
“First of all, I’m sorry.”
But again, the head professor couldn’t stand it and intervened.
“Sorry, it’s too late. Take responsibility for your own words. Select a member of the team and come up with a grade somehow.”
“No.”
I shook my head at the head professor.
In that respect, it was not a word of regret.
“I don’t have a team member among them.”
A silence close to emptiness descends.
After a while, the head professor scratches his shoulder and asks again.
“What do you mean by that? Could it be that this isn’t enough?”
“I have already made an appointment. All to first grade.”
“… !”
The expressions of the three people suddenly became dumbfounded. The secretary pushes up her glasses with a puzzled expression.
“Friendship, loyalty…. What is it? It’s a bunch. Subjugation is an event that can be participated in up to 2nd year, and it is difficult for 1st year students to handle a 2nd year knight cadet.”
The secretary continues the conversation in a calm voice.
“I don’t know if there are many such groups in the Knights Faculty, but probably all groups are made up of sophomores.”
Perhaps belatedly coming to his senses, the head professor also interrupted.
“Flan student. When you talk to us, take that playfulness out of it. It’s really not fun at all and I’m angry.”
It’s not that I can’t understand their feelings.
For students who grow rapidly, the gap of one year is very large. However, it would be absurd to hear that you would form a 1st year group against a 2nd year knight cadet.
However, I am not interested in beautifully crafted pebbles. Rather, they want unpolished gemstones.
There are already three of those gemstones in the first year.
“Puheh….”
Cornette let out a laugh as if he was having fun.
“Indeed, in many ways, flan students do things I never expected.”
The corners of her mouth drew an arc.
“Then we…. Let’s wrap it up by taking a little more time to think about it.”
“No, this is not it. President.”
The head professor hit the desk with a bang.
“The combat event was still a match between freshmen and freshmen. But in what kind of subjugation…. You just have to cut it out and say it. A first-year member is not allowed.”
The secretary also helped by carefully pushing up her glasses.
“Freedom must be guaranteed within the bounds of principles. I gave you the freedom to choose the members of the group, so the grade should be nailed to the second grade.”
I calmly imagined the shapes of the gemstones I would polish.
The guys who will rise to the top, and many dream trees who will walk behind them.
The moment that scenery comes true.
The world must have already changed, and even without me, the magic in this world will continue to flow properly.
“President.”
I lowered my lips.
Six pupils turned to me at the same time.
Among them, the mana that dwells in the reverse of Cornette is bizarrely vivid and bizarre.
“I’m here right now….”
I don’t need anything like worry.
“I am not sitting down to negotiate.”
Also, there will be no change of opinion.
◈
“Whoa….”
Private room, Trixie just finished ballet.
He was about to change his shoes when he suddenly noticed his ugly feet.
This toe joint is abnormally protruding, and it is not beautiful even to see it by itself.
“Blue Flame” Was both a blessing and a curse. As a child, she was burned all over her feet by a fire force that she could not even control.
Fortunately, the Fritz family spent a lot of money and was able to serve as her foot, but…. She couldn’t restore her appearance.
She said that was the reason she started ballet. She’s ugly feet anyway, so I thought it would be nice to have a plausible reason.
“….”
Quietly put on socks.
The eldest daughter of the Fritz family cannot afford to regret or be sad about such a fact. She spread her trivia, wiping away sweat.
Then she tried to contact Mr. Teaching as usual.
“… !”
She was able to find exceptionally prominent articles on Trivia’s free bulletin board. It was a bit shocking.
[ Wow, the representative of the Faculty of Magic Punishment has been decided ]
[ How much would you lie if you had nothing to do ]
[ It’s real, it’s stuck on the agora board ]
‘A representative has been decided?’
Trixie stood up involuntarily. When she came to her senses, she was already running towards the agora board.
The moment she was born into Fritz’s family, the moment she had blue flames…. She had a reason why she had to go to her subjugation festival.
There were already a lot of students in front of the agora board. Trixie squeezed through the gap without the slightest hesitation.
“Wait a minute, get out of the way. Please get out of the way.”
As I pushed through and over again, I was at the front before I knew it.
“Haa…. Ha….”
She quietly raised her head and looked at her representative list.
[ Plan ]
[ Becky ]
[Louis Rosewald]
‘Becky… ?’
I wonder why Becky, who is so mediocre, was chosen, but I decided to put that idea aside for now.
“Haa…. Under….”
First of all, first of all, the fact that her name had to be on the list was the most important thing.
I looked down.
“Ha…. Ah… ?”
And right after facing her truth, Trixie froze.
[ N/A ]
In the last column of the list, it was written that way.
