Chapter 670: First-Year Student
It was the day after our encounter with Romio.
Today, the atmosphere at the Academy of Magic was different from this morning. It was because there was an entrance ceremony for the new students.
However, the ceremony was quite modest.
It seed that new students entered this academy every four months, and that was why the entrance ceremony was not such an important event.
Only the new students and a few teachers would attend it.
Fran was also told that she did not have to attend. She could attend if she wanted to, but of course, she didn’t. Even at her entrance ceremony, she was sure to doze off, and she would definitely fall asleep at soone else’s entrance ceremony.
So, she wouldn’t bother to tarnish the bright mories of the new students.
The bustle of the freshn, filled with excitent and expectation, seed to light up the academy.
『I guess it’s the sa in every world that freshn are always excited』
(In Master’s world too?)
『Yeah, they are similar. Well, it’s rare to find freshman with varying ages in my world though』
Since there was no age limit for admission, the new students were of varying ages. So were as young as ten years old, while others were over twenty.
The most common age group is around 12 to 14 years old. The sa age as Fran.
In a part-ti school system, an age difference of this magnitude would be normal. However, children and adults should never be mixed. It was like elentary school students and college students studying in the sa classroom.
However, this was not unusual in this world, and the adult freshn mixed in with the children did not seem embarrassed, nor did the children seem to look at them strangely.
However, it was inevitable that people of the sa age would tend to stick together. It was the sa as on Earth.
The new students were gleaming with excitent as they saw the facilities of the Academy of Magic. As we were heading towards the classroom with them at our side, we were approached from behind.
「Fran-san?」
「Nn?」
「I knew it was you!」
Fran turned around and looked unusually surprised when she saw the face of the person who had called out to her.
「Khanna? Why are you here?」
「That should be my line」
In front of Fran’s eyes, the girl was Khanna, the girl who had been with us on the pass from the Kingdom of Kranzel.
And she seed to be a freshman as she was wearing the uniform from this academy.
「Fran didn’t co to the entrance ceremony?」
「Nn? What do you an?」
「No, it’s just that I didn’t see you there. But if you’re here, does that an you were able to enroll here?」
「Nn. I’m enrolled here」
It was not like she was enrolled though. She was just being treated as a temporary student here.
「But I was told that I didn’t have to attend the entrance ceremony」
「Ara, really?」
「Nn」
「But it’s good to see you again. Since we couldn’t find you anywhere, I was wondering if you had abruptly canceled your enrollnt. But it’s impossible for Fran to not be accepted because of her ability」
I had a feeling that Fran and Khanna were not quite on the sa page, and now I know why. It seed that she thought that Fran was a new student just like her.
Co to think of it, she only told Khanna that her destination was the Academy of Magic.
Fran’s age was just right for enrollnt, and it was not surprising that Khanna misunderstood.
「Since we’re both new students, please take care of 」
As I thought, she seems to have misunderstood.
「But your uniform is…? It’s so different from ours」
「This is the Special Battle Class uniform」
「Eh? The Special Battle Class? Isn’t that an advanced class…?」
「Nn」
「You didn’t get into the Elentary departnt?」
At this point, Khanna must have finally realized that sothing was wrong.
They then exchanged information with each other, and finally, she realized that Fran was not a new student.
「I see. I never thought you’d be an instructor. Well, it was natural for soone as capable as Fran-san」
「So Khanna wanted to get here from the start?」
「Eh? Well, that’s right, but…」
She didn’t reveal that the purpose of her trip was to enter the Academy of Magic because she wasn’t sure if she would be able to get in.
「You said this place is open to everyone, right?」
「Well, I have a lot of things going on my side…」
I was aware that she had her reasons, but what exactly was the reason that might have caused the rejection of her admission?
Well, she wouldn’t tell us even if we asked. I guess Fran was not really interested in that either. So, she asked a different question.
「Hey, what happened to the other two?」
「Dianne and Shella?」
「Nn. Those two」
Fran had completely forgotten the na of Khanna’s companions. Well, she was always like this though.
「Shella is looking for a job in town during our stay. If I can successfully graduate, then we’ll return to our ho country together」
It would take years for Khanna to graduate. If Shella waited that long, it would cost her a lot of money just to keep staying at the inn. She was looking for a job at Lady Blue to raise as much money as possible to pay for her stay.
「And about that knight?」
「I don’t know what Dianne is going to do. Originally, her job was to accompany to this place. She said she would return to the country with , but she is allowed to act at her discretion during her stay」
「I see」
「She said she was going to train as a warrior, but she hasn’t decided where she’s going yet」
I’m rather glad that she was not here.
「Aah, I have to go. I’m sorry to keep you with 」
The teacher leading the new students called her, and Khanna hurried back.
「Umm, hey!」
「Nn?」
Looking back at her, Khanna opened her mouth with a sowhat thoughtful expression.
「Can I et you again next ti?」
「Nn. See you」
「Yes! See you!」
Khanna smiled with relief and with a nod and wave at her. It was probably because she hadn’t seen Fran smiling during the conversation and thought that she was annoying her.
But from Fran’s point of view, she was actually quite happy to see Khanna again.
『I’m glad you et soone you know here』
「Nn」
