 A few days later.
 I was being taught magic by Professor Sylphia again today.

Aah!

 I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

 I'm sure the durability has improved." Dr. Sylphia muttered, holding a finger to her chin as she watched the scene.

"That's all for today. Thank you for your time.

"Thank you very much.

 Since Chris introduced me to Professor Sylphia, I've been taking lessons from him almost every day. However, what I did was usually just to report my progress. I would have him check the skills I had acquired through my own training, and assure me that I was growing in the right direction.

"You've gotten much better at using the barrier, haven't you?

Thanks to you.

I was just showing you the way. I'm just showing you the direction. ...... I enjoy it when you work hard and show me your results right away.

 Dr. Sylphia said, smiling.
 I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

"Dr. Sylphias. Is there anything you want me to do for you?

"What do you want me to do?

"I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me. I've been busy with the competition festival, and you've been staying with me until after school. ...... If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

 When I told him this, he replied with a difficult look on his face.

Hmmm, ...... would you like me to carry your luggage for you?

"Baggage?

Yes. Yes, I need you to carry the tools for Potions to the classroom.

 Then Professor Sylphia took out tools from shelves and drawers in the room and piled them up on the floor.

That's all the tools you'll need.

...... That's a lot.

That's right. ...... Potions uses a lot of different tools. My back has been hurting lately from carrying all this stuff. ......

Your back?

What? No! It's nothing, nothing at all! It's just a physical pain!

 Suddenly turning red, Dr. Sylphia said.

So, please. I still have paperwork to do.

 I've still got some paperwork to do," she said with a cough.
 I quickly grabbed my tools and headed for the classroom. I couldn't carry everything in one go, so I decided to split it into two.

 I walked down the long corridor to the classroom.
 I could hear the shouts of the students outside the window. Practice for the competition festival was in full swing, and I could feel the excitement in the air.

...... One more round trip.

 I left my luggage in the classroom, took a breather, and headed back to the room where Dr. Sylphia was.
 On the way, I passed a woman with red hair.

"Hmm?

 It was Farnese, the teacher in charge of basic combat.
 I bowed and was about to walk away when...

"Wait, boy.

 For some reason, Professor Farnese stopped me.

"You were just carrying the tools for Potions. Did Sylphia ask you to do something?

"No, I offered to help her. She's been teaching me magic for a while now.

Magic?

Yes. Lately, I've been taking magic lessons from Professor Sylphia after school.

 Then Farnese started to think about something.

"Hmm. I've been thinking about it a lot. That's why you've been so excited lately. ...... is outrageous.

 What do you mean by "shameful"?
 As I was wondering, Professor Farnese looked at me.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I were you. If you're going to study under me, it's probably going to be me rather than Sylphia.

"That's .......

 It was a reasonable opinion, but my goal was not to become stronger.
 The purpose of me being taught magic by Professor Sylphia is to learn safe tactics for myself and others. I am learning magic not to improve my ability, but to increase my options for action. It is better to learn a new magic than a new physical skill, as it will allow for a wider range of tactics.

...... For various reasons, I'd rather be taught magic than physical arts right now.

Well... ...... Well, if that's what you've decided, then you're in the clear.

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

No, no, don't worry about it. I was just wondering if you were being poisoned by Sylphia.



"Poisoned"?

All right, listen up. Between you and me ......, Sylphia prefers quiet, intelligent men like you. You may look like you're a bit of a fuddy-duddy, but you've got a complex about being late to the party. If you let yourself in more than you have to, you'll be eaten up in no time.

"Farnese!

 I heard a loud shout.
 I didn't know how long I had been there, but there was Dr. Sylphia. The teacher seemed to have heard the conversation and was coming towards me with a red face and big toes.

I came to check on Mr. Toate because he was coming home late. ............ What are you talking about?

What do you mean, what are you talking about? I'm only telling you the truth.

No, it's not true! And it's not something I want my students to hear!

That's why you're never going to be popular.

"What?

 For a moment, Dr. Sylphia looked like she was about to burst into tears, but she could barely contain herself.

You're not even married yet, are you?

"Well, there's a big difference between not getting married and not getting married. In fact, I've been asked to marry many times.

I've been courted many times. ......? You younger killer. ......!

I just don't want to end up with someone weaker than me.

 It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything you like.
 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

"Dr. Farnese. Mr. Sylphia is a serious magician.

 Both of their eyes turned to me.

I think she's a good teacher who cares about her students. I don't know about her personal life, but I don't think she's the type to let her personal feelings get in the way of her work.

Well, that may be true.

Mr. Farnese said that Mr. Silfiya is a hard man. ...... I think that's one of his charms.

 Then I looked at Dr. Silfiya's face.

"Toeight-kun .......

 This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your money.
 I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I take it back. I take back what I said before. I got goosebumps.

Aaahhhh!

 Dr. Sylphias ran off in tears.

"Hmm, that was a bit much, wasn't it?

You got off on the wrong foot, didn't you?

Was it my fault?

 Half of it was Dr. Farnese's fault, but it was probably my fault, too.
 I don't want you to bend your neck and cancel the training tomorrow. I'll go apologize to him later.

Back to the topic at hand, how did you end up learning magic from that guy in the first place?

Because I want to learn magic that I can use at the competition. I want to learn magic that I can use in the competition. If I don't, I'll become a burden to the falcon team.

 When I said that, Professor Farnese rolled his eyes.

"Baggage? Don't be silly, you're pretty strong.

 I remembered the entrance exam for the Builders Academy. I remembered that Elysia and I had fought together to defeat Farnese before.

That is, if the conditions are right. It's hard to use "sniper" at a competition festival. ......

I was surprised at the entrance exam, but that wasn't the only story. I've been wondering for a while, you've been through a lot (・・・・・・・・・・) (・・・・).

"...... Why did you think that?

I'm not sure what to make of it. You seem to be playing a close game during the mock battle, but you actually have a lot of leeway.

 Dr. Farnese tells me matter-of-factly.
 Her perceptions were all correct.

I've had some idea of your abilities since you entered the school, and ...... I'm sure Silfiya has too.

"...... Miss Sylphia too?

Yes. You just don't dare to say it.

 I'm sure you're not the only one.

You're the teacher of the Builders' Academy, aren't you?

I don't think all teachers are aware of it. The only ones who are sure about it are me and Sylphia. ...... We've been chosen to be the mentors of the brave. I'm confident in my eyes when it comes to my students.

 Farnese smiled proudly.

Are you sure you want to say that?

"I'm sure you choose who you tell. I don't think you're the type to talk about it.

 The fact that a brave man has a specific teacher is expected but not announced. If Farnese and Sylphias were announced as the heroes' teachers, students would rush to them for guidance.

"If you want to train in physical arts as well, you can always come to me. I'll keep you company.



...... You're very kind to one of your students, aren't you?

 When I asked him a simple question, Mr. Farnese looked at me strangely.

The teachers are also troubled by the selective nature of the ...... hero department.

 In a quiet voice, Farnese said.

There is no superiority between the heroic and the normal, just a difference in direction. But the reality is that the heroic students look down on the normal students. You feel that, don't you?

"...... Well...

So I thought that if I trained the students of the normal course appropriately and gave them the ability to outperform the heroic course, that impression would be overturned. I was going to ask you to be one of them.

"I see.

 Farnese smiled wryly at me as I convinced him.

I'll help you as much as I can if you're willing (・・・・・).

I'll think positively about .......

I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up too high.

 Then Dr. Farnese turned on his heel.
