Chapter 118

「Thanks yaaah!」

The guy saw me off with a strangely accented goodbye, and I left the back-alley trinket store.

I walked around the stores to get the things I needed to sneak into the School’s dungeon.

「Okay, back to the lodge then?」

Three days had quickly passed in Carbonheim.

I had handled magical beasts in front of and behind the town on the road, so I had enough money made.

Leone’s recommended lodging, “Forest Lodge of Angels” was a place she said was great from former times staying there.

As a rule, we usually borrow the kitchen after the first day and let make Minnalis prepare food, but there was more than enough food made by the lodging.

Even though Minnalis’ ability to cook was getting quite good, even she was surprised by the quality.

It was enough to say that the place had good food for a first place establishment.

「I’m back, humph!」

「Ah, welcome back, master.」

「Welcome back, nph nph…」

When I got back to my lodging room, we all sat down in our respective beds while the other two practiced their magic control.

Kuu was sleeping right in the middle of my bed.

It seemed somehow that Kuu was under my control, and had the 【Magic Egg-Blade]inside of it.

It was good because one couldn’t just walk around outside with it out, but according to Kuu the sword inside him is 『Um, it feels like hmm, and ummm, and errrm. It’s better outside.』

Because it didn’t seem uncomfortable, I gave clear directions not to let it outside when I left.

It was easy for the two to make a bed to keep Kuu in, as they just reinforced a stick with magic.

On the ends of the stick were metal chains hung above.

Without enforcing it enough the stick would break, but doing it too much meant the whole thing would break.

I trained on how to do this by trying to figure out how to handle magical power as I can’t use magic, but it was harder than I thought.

Minnalis on the other hand is a genius at this compared to me, so she did it with unbelievable ability. On the other hard, Shuria had a hard time with it, and the sticks she used to train with were broken on the floor, piled like a mountain.

「Hmph, Minnalis can really handle all of this so easily. Even though Shuria’s not so good, she’s still good enough. Nice work.」

Tomorrow, they would take the school entrance test at the Carbonheim school.

I didn’t think that they’d fail it, but it’s going to be hard to get them to control themselves when they practice magic after they get in.

「Heh heh, heh.」

「Ah, idiot, don’t lose concentration!」

Then there was a snapping sound from Shuria’s hand.

「Ah, my new record!」

She whispered and drooped her shoulders in despair.

「Tomorrow’s the test, so let’s leave it at that for today.」

「okay!」「Yes, master.」

After the test was over, we were going to meet Leone too.

Tomorrow would be a busy day.

☆

「Okay, we’re here.」

「I heard about this place before, but it IS really huge.」

「And the walls are blue.」

The next day, there were groups of people meandering around the school early.

The huge grounds containing the dorm surrounded the school, and the walls surrounding the grounds of this magic school were the same color as the walls of the city, blue.

The walls were constructed with the same materials as well, and if one were to think about the school itself as a castle, one could see what a high place this school had in this country.

「To come here again…」

Arriving to the line behind the signboard, we could see quite the number of people lined up there.

Most of them were outsiders, in other words, most were there as adventurers.

「Oh hey, she’s in the back of the line!」

「Ah, I see, you were going to see her this afternoon.」

Leone and her party was in the end of the line.

They looked towards us as if they noticed we were there.

「So, since you’re here, I guess that means you plan to join the school too?」

「Yeah, I’m going to buy the entry for the basics class, these two are going to start going.」

I put my hands on both Minnalis and Shuria’s shoulders as I said this.

「Yup.」「He’s right.」

「Hm, so you’re not going?」

「Yeah, I have other things to do, I don’t use magic after all.」

I returned Dan’s question.

Though it was true that I didn’t use magic.

As we talked like this, the line seemed to disappear, and it was our turns up at the reception window.

「Thank you for waiting. You’ve come here to attend this magical academy, correct?」

「Yes, correct.」

「Well, then, please write your name and desired class here. Do you need a pen?」

「Nah.」

Leone and her group each wrote their names and desired classes down.
