Lynn was visiting the acade for his next lesson

Sleeya Sensei of Metal Magic class had a tendency to talk fast, and consequently the pace of the class too was, naturally, fast However this presented Lynn with a problem

In order to keep up with the class I have to really prepare for each class ahead of ti, and there were plenty of available desks to sit at

This library was not only bigger, but it was also equipped with far more facilities than the library in Renryll had

This was one of the reasons he felt grateful for being able to enter the academy

Very much unlike the case in Renryll, here he was able to use the library at any ti a desk

When Lynn found an eht next to hi ht there next to him was Yuven

What!

Surprised, Lynn looked away quickly

What is she doing here?

There were countless other desks in the study room

There wasn't a likely reason she should want to sit next to hilance in her direction

She had one textbook open, but she wasn't reading Neither did she seem to want to talk either Instead she simply sat in her char, arms folded, and watched Lynn patiently

For a while Lynn feigned ignorance, but eventually he couldn't stand it any to her

”Good afternoon”

Yuven returned the greeting with a s I can help you with?”

”Oh, no… There's nothing in particular you can help ht to observe you” [1]

”What! Why?”

Lynn was startled at her choice of words What did it irl to observe a boy? It didn't have any ro to be observing you, to find out if you're cheating so for a year longer than you, but despite having only just arrived here you coood mark I can only think that you must have cheated so of herup on the previous Ring Magic class It seemed she still hadn't accepted how it had ended

”Cheated? I'”

”I wonder though Everyone is saying you're suspect, and you have a sly look to you”

”What? A sly look? What even is that?”

”To think that there was such injustice in such an i You know, I value fairness That's why I' to keep an eye on you As soon as I find evidence of your cheating I'll report you straight away”

”What?” Lynn gasped incredulously ”I don't think you'll find any evidence of cheating nowrong Anyway, all I' to do at the moment is study”

Was it even possible in the first place to cheat in Ring Magic class? Lynn wondered to himself dubiously

”If that's what you say, then fine Focus on studying,” Yuven said, and after a brief pause added in a stronger tone ”but I'll be here watching you”

Lynn sighed It seemed that no matter what he said it wouldn't et on with studying”

Lynn regathered his thoughts and concentration, and set about studying For a while Yuven simply watched as he studied, but as she saw the pace at which he read and flipped through the pages, the thought of falling behind hian studying for class

”Lynn, over here”

When he reached Metal Magic class, Theo called out and waved to him He had saved a seat for Lynn in advance Nearby were students that got along ith Theo, but aside fro

”The hero's here!” Theo said cheerily

”You're exaggerating”

Eerating at all You did good”

”Hey, it was so, so good seeing the look on Yuven's face It itching beautifully”, solee

Since he manifested the Vesper Sword, Lynn found hiher esteem than ever before Those who treated him in such a ere the commoner kids

More so than Yuven herself, they seeeneral
