Let’s do our best together, shall we?

Teacher Neil spoke and called one of the students by name.

Let’s see… Tryn Taylor, was it?

I remember he introduced himself and said he was the son of a merchant who dealt mainly in clothing.

I heard that his mother was a former daughter of a viscount, and that’s why his magic powers were a little higher.

As he sat down in the chair by the teacher’s desk next to the podium, Teacher Marlen activated what appeared to be a small magic tool on the desk.

I thought I heard a slight high-pitched sound, and after that I couldn’t hear any more of their voices, even though Teacher Marlen and Teacher Neil seemed to be talking about something.

“Is that a… soundproofing magic tool? But I have never seen one that small… is it an improved version or…?”

Behind me, Ronnie-sama, who seemed to be a magic and magic tool geek, was muttering to himself.

I see… a soundproofing magic tool.

I have always used magic to deploy soundproofing barriers, so I didn’t know there were special magic tools for that.

Come to think of it, there were also barrier tools at the magic tool shop back in the fief.

“Cristea-saaan…”

Mariel called out to me weakly.

“Mariel-san, what’s the matter?”

“Take a look at this, please…”

She then held out to me the form that had just been handed out to us. The following was a list of the required classes that Mariel-chan must take.

“T, there’s so many…”

Although she was exempted from general education and geography classes, there were a lot of classes required of a noblewoman, such as lady’s education and history.

“I’m so sorry. I knew I should have had hired a tutor before I entered the school…”

Mariel-chan looked at my printout and exclaimed loudly, causing the people around me to make a fuss.

“Eh… exempted from almost everything, is that possible?”

“Is there even a reason to attend the academy?”

… You are right. But the only thing that exempts you is that you have the basics. If you want to get more into specialization, you will have a lot to learn, so it makes sense to come, right… I think.

“I, I’m sorry…”

Mariel-chan apologized for the attention she had inadvertently drawn to me.

“No, it’s okay.”

Yeah, I feel like it’s too late to worry about standing out, so you don’t have to worry about it, Mariel-chan…

“But with so many exemptions, there will be nearly no classes to take together with you, Cirstea-san…”
