「Are you alright, oi!?」

「B-Bring him to the infirmary!」

Reyes-san who saw the clamouring Class A,

「Puh-ahahahahaha! So weak! Is Class A, a gathering of such a weak bunch!?」

He laughed whilst clapping. In response, the four people behind him laughed at Tessa as well.

(…Tessa)

Perhaps, Tessa was much better in terms of simple swordsmanship.

(However, looking at them in terms of『swordsman』… Reyes-san was better.)

The only difference between the two is the presence and absence of a soul dress. Whether or not you can manifest your soul dress as a swordsman…… is a crucial point. In fact, this determines whether or not you can become a Senior Holy Knight.

「Tch, so they weren’t just all talk…」

Class A became uproarious before the unexpected situation. I alone quietly pulled out my sword and stood in front of them.
