Volume 1 Chapter 5 (1/2)

Strange Cla.s.smates

— Luluna and I began to calm our excitement after reuniting with each other.

At this time, a girl sitting in the back called out to us.

”Excuse me, do you know Luluna?”

I turn my gaze to see the figure of a beautiful, dignified girl.

The girl had long, glossy black hair and was wearing a kimono.

I glance down slightly and got an impression of a modest sized chest.

Hmm, what kind of person was this again…..Oh yeah, a samurai.

This girl in front of me looks like a samurai.

To this girl, Luluna responds to her with a small smile.

“Ah, Tsurugi. That’s right, I met Lute on the day of the exam and he helped me out a lot.”

”Nice to meet you. My name is Lute.”

I bowed my head after Luluna introduced me.

I'm guessing they know each other based on the way Luluna is acting.

”My name is Tsurugi. Luluna and I got to know each other as we were going through the admission process to join the special advanced cla.s.s. It's nice to meet you. Ah, and it's fine for you to speak more comfortably to me.”

So that's how they know each other.

Excluding myself, I've now spoken with two of the three people in the cla.s.sroom.

Let's talk to the last person now — but then the door to the cla.s.sroom was opened.

And a man with a stern face entered, it was Bagiran.

”Alright, take your seats!……Oh, I see everyone has arrived. This years advanced cla.s.s is truly excellent.”

Bagiran sat down and looked admiringly at everyone.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but his bar for 'excellent' seems pretty low.

“Eee~~, excellent! Did you hear that Lute!”

Ah, Luluna is so innocent.

”I am excellent……Thank you for your words!”

Tsurugi is the same as Luluna.

Are my cla.s.smates really okay……I suddenly started feeling uneasy…….

“I am Bagiran, I will be responsible for this cla.s.s. Let's have a good two years together. This year the advanced cla.s.s has been split in two with four students each. The number of exceptional applicants this year was amazing.”

Now that I think about it, four people did seem like a very small amount.

“There will be no lessons today, the first day of cla.s.s is used just to introduce ourselves to one another. Normal cla.s.ses will start tomorrow. Your cla.s.s will not change for the next two years, so it would be troublesome if you didn't get along with each other.”

After saying this, Bagiran left the cla.s.sroom.

It's a refres.h.i.+ng how short the introduction was, it's definitely better than a long-drawn-out one.

Or so I thought, but Bagiran came back into the room with a excited look on his face.

“Lute, I expect great things from you!”

He says this, gives me a little wink, and leaves once again.

That's too refres.h.i.+ng! His praise is giving me a disgusting feeling.

***

After Bagiran left we were able to talk amongst ourselves again.

As Bagiran had said, we'll be together for the next two years. It's important that we get along.

”That ”Fighting Demon” Bagiran sensei has high expectations for you……Lute-dono, you must be amazing!”

”Is that guy really that great?”

To be honest, he doesn't give me that impression.

No, I shouldn't say that, he's a nice person. I gave a small apology in my head.

“You don't know? Bagiran sensei has continued to create the most advanced martial arts techniques for more than ten years, before he joined the Academy last year.”

”Tsurugi, are you a fan of Bagiran sensei?”

”Yes, I admire him greatly.”

She respects him that much?

Well, even when I was giving it my all he didn't seem to be troubled. Maybe he really is that amazing.

As I'm thinking this, I suddenly hear a strange voice.

”~Kerokerokero~”

The owner of that voice was the last cla.s.smate.

The clothing she's wearing is ridiculously strange. She's wearing what looks to be a frog hood.
