Hey. Hey, you might have been with Ted. ......

　As I was observing the suspicious group, I was approached from behind.

　Hmm.
　This is the same guy who tried to get Ted to join some sort of sports institute.

　His name is Segal or something.

"I'm sorry about our club leader earlier. I'd like to apologize to him again.

No. I'm fine about that. I'm used to being discriminated against by others because of these eyes.

　I don't need to explain now, but in the days of 200 years ago, my amber eyes were a symbol of discrimination and persecution.

　In the present day, the amber eyes seem to be a symbol of incompetence and ridiculed, but they are lukewarm compared to the unreasonable punishments I've received in the past.

This is the sports drink we give out in our club: ....... You can use it as a token of your apology if you like.

　With that, Segal pulled a bottle from his bag.
　The drink, which was as close in color as possible to water, was of a type I had never seen before.

''I'll take it. Thank you for your concern.''

　I see.
　Unlike the 'chief' who painted a picture of arrogance earlier, this man Seagal seems to be quite civilized.

''Um. I've been wondering since a while ago, what are those strangely dressed people there?

'Ah, it's the AMO guys, isn't it? They seem to have even set up a base in the academy these days. They're really annoying.

AMO?

Anti-magical organization. It stands for one of the largest anti-magic organizations in the country. Ostensibly, they advocate 'anti-war' and 'pacifism,' but every single thing they do is extreme. In recent years, it has become a serious social problem.

　Hmm. I didn't know that.
　I didn't know that such an organization was roaming around in the world without my knowledge.

　My former residence in Langobalt Territory, which existed in the remote countryside, was in an environment where it was difficult to get information from the world.

By the way, Abel, you're no longer a member of the study group. Have you decided which study group you're going to join?

No, sir. To tell the truth, I haven't decided yet. I'm trying to narrow my search down to magical institutes, but to be honest, all of them seem to be lacking.

　Seagal let out a bitter smile, as if he sensed what I was trying to say.

I'm sure you're right. I'm sure you'll have a hard time finding a place that matches your level of ability when you're as good as you are. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that there is a study group in our school: ......

　Having said that much, Segal looks up, as if he has a flash of inspiration.

'No, well, there might be one thing. Follow me. You might see something interesting.

　Oh, I see.
　It seems that Seagal has some idea of what's going on.

　Originally, I was indifferent to information about the school, so I am grateful that there is someone I can rely on at a time like this.



　That's why I decided to take a look at the study group Segal recommended.
