There was still one month left in the year 2095 AD.
Thinking back, this was quite the chaotic year. As he thought over the past year, even Tatsuya couldn't help but fall into a reverie. The terrorists in April, the international criminal organization in August, then ca the foreign invaders during October. Even the word "turbulent" should have a limit.
Still, Tatsuya did not possess the leisure to ruminate and reflect over the year gone by. This was hardly because he bore any pessimistic outlook like "there's still one month left, who knows what could happen". Rather, he had a more practical reason before him.
"......Wah-! I still don't understand no matter how many tis it's been said!"
"Keep it to yourself! There's no need to holler! Just suck it up!"
"Relax, Leo-kun, Erika-chan......"
No matter if one was a middle school student, high school student, or college student, so long as they were students, this was undoubtedly their most loathed nesis. The unavoidable obstacle that they were forced to overco. -- The inevitable final exams that were just around the corner.
The usual crowd was currently gathered in Shizuku's house -- more like a mansion, to be precise.
Tatsuya, Miyuki, Erika, Leo, Mizuki, Mikihiko, Honoka, Shizuku, everyone was here and engaged in the study session in preparation for the upcoming final exams.
Despite calling this a study session, the group assembled here were largely quite capable on the written portion of the exam. The only exception here was Leo, whose grades were only so-so, but who was still in no danger of failing. The area of grave concern was actually the technical skills portion, but that was not being covered in the study session.
Besides from the odd squawk here and there, the mood of the study session closely mirrored that of a colloquial tea party. -- That is, until Shizuku dropped the bombshell.
"Eh? Shizuku, can you repeat that one more ti?"
"I'm actually preparing to study overseas in Arica."
Honoka asked in a frantic manner while Shizuku replied in her usual bland tone.
"But I never heard about that!?"
"Sorry, I was forbidden from disclosing that until yesterday."
Seeing the completely pale Honoka press on with more questions, Shizuku's head dropped in a clear sign of guilt. Plainly, Shizuku wanted to tell them from long ago, so in that light, Honoka didn't push her any further.
"However, are you seriously able to study overseas?" Honoka's question was not questioning Shizuku's ability.
In the modern age, in order to prevent high-class Magicians, and especially their genetics as well as military capabilities, from drifting overseas, various governnts heavily restricted unofficial international travel.
The USNA remained allies on the surface, but in reality they were one of the country's direct competitors in the western Pacific. Hence the typical request to study abroad in Arica was usually denied.
In other words, saying that she was studying abroad in Arica hinted at tacit approval.
"Ah, well, we've already received approval. Father said that this was because this was a foreign exchange, or sothing like that."
"So foreign exchange students are automatically qualified?"
"Who knows?"
Although Mizuki's question seed reasonable, any hope of a positive response died when Shizuku tilted her head and replied back. Even Tatsuya was unable to follow any logic that granted special exceptions to foreign exchange students.
"For how long? When do you leave?"
While he wanted to properly analyze the situation, there was simply too little information on hand. Tatsuya frankly gave up on any aningless pondering and focused back on the situation before him.
"I leave after the end of the term. The duration is three months."
"So it's only three months......
Don't scare us like that."
Honoka heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Shizuku's words. It looked like she was expecting this to be a long-term arrangent.
However, according to Tatsuya's "common knowledge
