The day of the entrance examination.

　When we arrived at the Imperial Rodnea Magical Academy, we were surprised at the size of the school.

It's not a good idea.

　Yifa let out an exclamation next to me.

　Anyway, it's huge. How many hundreds of thousands of square feet is there?　
　It was so close to Kyo's great inner sanctum, but apparently the forest behind it was also part of the school, and if you included it, this one was much larger.
　The several study houses are also like a castle.

''........hmm?''
What's up, Seika-kun?
...or nothing.

　There was a strange stagnation of power here and there.
　Well, it's a magical school, so anything can happen.

　When I looked around again, there were a lot of kids just like us who were taking the exam.

Yes, this is for those of you taking the entrance exam!

　As soon as the reception desk opened under the blue sky, people lined up to get in line.
　We follow suit.

"Your name, please.
Seika Lamprog.
'Oh!　Are you the son of that Countess of Lamprog?

　When the woman at the reception desk raised her voice, people buzzed around her.

'Seriously?' 'Lamprog, that famous one?' Maybe you should get to know them while you're at it.

　Oh, my house is this famous?

Okay, hand me up.

　After being asked a few questions.
　He said that and offered me a crystal ball-like object with a magic circle engraved on it.

''What's this?''
''It's a magic tool to measure your magic power. This is my first time seeing the magic power of the Lamploog Clan, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. By the way, if you have strong aptitude for all the attributes, you'll shine white. I haven't seen it yet.
Yeah.

　I try to put my hand on the crystal ball as I'm told.
　But nothing happens.

''I'm sorry, again.
Yes, sir.

　Nothing happens after all.

'Oh, if you have an aptitude for the light or dark attribute?　This one only supports the four attributes....
No, I don't think so. They say I don't have magical powers.
"Yeah.

　It's all buzzing around me again.
　I'm starting to get nervous.

"Do you have to have magical powers to take the test?
'This is just a pre-check, so you can take the exam but, well, there's a practical test to take...'
Then it's no problem. I'll take the test.

　As I left the reception area, I could hear whispers from around me.

'No magic?' 'Are you kidding me?　It's a ramp rogue." "What the hell does he think he's doing?

　In another reception area, Yifa is talking to a staff member.

'Your name,'
It's Yifa. No last name.
Are you a commoner?
No I'm a slave to the Seikakus.

　It's buzzing around again.
　No, it's too crowded. The receptionist next to me is jammed too.

''A slave? Squires are sometimes admitted to the school, but slaves are not very common. Legally, they are treated as property, but the school cannot take responsibility for their escape. Please let your master know. Then give me your hand over here.

　Yifa also put her hand on the crystal ball.
　Then, unlike my time, a faint yellowish light appeared.

'It seems that you have an aptitude for the fire and wind attributes but they are weak. I have a practical skill, do you want to take the test...?
Yes. Yes, please.

　When Yifa returned, the buzz became noisy.

''No magic power, isn't that one hell of a dropout?'' ''How are you going to pass the test?'' You're a well-connected, aristocratic bastard who's only an upstart countess and a lowly one at that... and you're a slave with a face like a woman.

　Suddenly feeling a fever, I looked at Yifa and saw a faint flicker of orange flames around her.
　His eyes were set.

'Yifa. 'Fire, it's leaking.'
'What?　Awwww.

　Yifa waved her hand to drown it out.
　I laughed a little and then sighed.
　It's already been a bit of an uphill battle before it even started. But this is more me, I think.

Shut up.

　An interesting voice rang out.
　My hair, red like autumn leaves, wandered past me.

You're in the way. If you are not going to be a receptionist, get out of my way.

　The crowd quieted down before long and made way for the beautiful girl.

'Amu. Commoner.
Okay.

　The receptionist hurriedly went through the formalities.

'Well, over here then........'
"Hm.

　The girl put her hand on the crystal ball before it was offered to her.

　At that moment.
　A blinding white light illuminated the surroundings.

　The staff member's eyes widen.

''Eh. This color, of all the attributes........''
That's enough.
Oh, hey!

　The girl let go of her hand and turned on her heel as if it were insignificant.
　The people around her buzzed again.

'Did you say all attributes?' And he's so strong... commoner, right? Maybe he's illegitimate to the royal family.

The...

　I called out to her.
　The girl with the red hair stops.
　My heart skips a beat. I knew it. It's just like her.

"Uh, thank you.
What?　Why would you thank me?
It's...
I'm not taking your side, for Christ's sake. It's just a bunch of loud mooks. And you know what?

　The girl points at me.

You're the most annoying. It's not a good idea to have someone who can't even use magic come to the school. I'm sure you'll be able to pass the test with your family's power, but please don't get in my way.

　The girl who said that and walked away.
　I looked at his back for a while.

What's up?　Seika-kun.
No....

　I was just a little surprised.
　The hair was a different color, but it looked a lot like a face I knew from a previous life.

　My sister, whom I had lost when I was young, and my beloved apprentice, who was the spitting image of her.
　I was the spitting image of my sister, who died when I was young, and my favorite student, the one who killed me.
