After "coincidentally" going to every one of Fina's classes, it turns out I was pretty good at them. I got to et the big muscular magic combat teacher who was pretty impressed with how I used my magic.
"That's incredible sir Alt! Your mastery of magic combat is fluent and without much breaks! You must have gotten it from first hand experience!" [Mr. Urth]
"Uh... yeah." [Solace]
Him talking about my combat experiences made think about my three month journey. Fighting a goblin king, a golem, a giant spider, Vanport, and then there was Jukhan. Dear gods, that was a terrible experience.
"Have you considered trying out for the heroes party? I can assure you with your talents that you might make it!" [Mr. Urth]
"...Heroes party?" [Solace]
"Indeed! Our country's hero is currently looking for new party mbers so a competition will be held in a few months. Do you want to sign up?" [Mr. Urth]
Embarrassing as it may be, I did think about it. However, I was Fina's spirit.
"I'll have to refuse." [Solace]
"Oh." [Mr. Urth]
He looked a bit disappointed by my decision.
"Are you sure? Chances like these happen only once in a lifeti. It would bring great honor and fa to your na!" [Mr. Urth]
("Wow, he's really pushing it.") [Solace]
It pained to turn down the offer considering how badly Mr. Urth wanted to join, but I still refused anyway.
"Sorry. Entering the hero's party doesn't interest ." [Solace]
"I... I see. That's too bad then." [Mr. Urth]
Mr. Urth then walked away with a downcast expression.
("Man... Now I feel bad.") [Solace]

The next class was sothing I wasn't looking forward to. I had to take the class of noble etiquette, by Ms. Wendle. You know, the teacher whose voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard and was the raspiest thing I've ever heard.
"We welco you to our class sir Alt. For now, you may just sit aside and watch." [Ms. Wendle]
"Yes, ma'am." [Solace]
She shook her head.
"Reply with "Yes, my lady". Or, "Of course, madam Wendle". Rember that next ti will you?" [Ms. Wendle]
It was that exchange that made quickly realize I wasn't going to like this class.
"Let's begin class." [Ms. Wendle]
It was a pretty boring lesson so I'll just skip this part.

The next class was Magic Theory taught by Ms. Grotto. A portion was taught by Ms. Ross, but I guess it was more hardcore in this one.
"Alt, let know if you need to borrow my notes." [Fina]
Just like the other classes, I chose a seat near Fina.
"Don't worry. I'm sure I can get by without needing to bother you too much." [Solace]
I in fact proceeded to borrow her notes multiple tis throughout the lesson. It felt like I was dealing with math formulas, except it was in a language format. My... My head... I don't even want to rember it.
"And that will be all for today. morize the formula for pages 13, 72, and 138 by next week. Ah, but you will be excluded for now sir Alt." [Ms. Grotto]
"Thank you Ms. Grotto." [Solace]
I really needed that.
For now, that was the end of the classes for the day. I then needed to find my "dorms" which weren't included since all I would do was turn a corner and return to Fina's side in spirit form.
("Maybe I should ask Master for a dorm in case Fina wants to co find or sothing. It'll probably work as a dummy room.") [Solace]
As I turned into a spirit and followed Fina in my invisible form, I found Fina trying to swerve around a large crowd.
"Is that really him?!" [???]
"Please look over here!" [???]
It appeared that everyone was pretty excited. I was a bit curious so I flew high and saw four people surrounded. Two males and two females. If I had to put it in fantasy terms, I would have to say it looked like one priest, one mage, one tank, and one warrior. A well balanced team.
("Well, not my problem.") [Solace]
It suddenly beca my problem. The four of them leapt over the crowd and landed in front of Fina, which caused her to get engulfed by the swarm of people as they chased after the group.
("Fina!") [Solace]
Without thinking, I returned to human form and pulled her out of it. It was a bit difficult to be within such a large group of people so I pulled her close and turned my back towards the onrushing mob.
"Alt?!" [Fina]
She had a confused look on her face. It must have been surprising since I split apart from her saying that I was going to go back to my dorm.
"I... forgot I had so stuff to do and got curious when I saw the crowd. I didn't think I'd find you here." [Solace]
I had to take a few hits before everyone was gone. Thankfully I had |Temperance| so it really didn't hurt.
"There we go. Are you okay, Fina?" [Solace]
I asked her for assurance, but all I got was no reply with her staring at with a red face.
"Um... is there sothing wrong?" [Solace]
It was as if she suddenly rebooted by blinking because Fina quickly withdrew from .
"I-I'm fine! I'll um... see you later!" [Fina]
Using those as her parting words, she kind of just jogged away.
("...Do I sll?") [Solace]
