CH 103

I did a lot of experiments with the Clayton family.

Recently, there have been many experiments to confirm the properties of each magic.

Please don’t let other people know that Heal’s nature is space-time magic.

Or rather, Light magic is basically all space-time magic.

It seems that the Barrier also stops time and space in its area of effect.

It’s more sci-fi than fantasy.

I don’t know why the Barriers crack on impact, though.

The bell rang for the end of the 6th hour.

The melody that heralds the scolding of parents, kin-kon-kan-kon, isn’t coming from the magic speakers, it’s the real sound of the bell hall at the east end of the school.

It doesn’t ring automatically, it seems that there is a bell ringer who pulls the rope and rings it.

“Let’s leave it around here today, well done, Makoto-kun,” Jean said.

“Good job…” Elmer said.

“Good luck to you both, Elmer and Jean-oji-san,” I said.

“I learned a lot about Light magic today,” Jean said.

“Precious… this data…” Elmer said.

These two love magic.

I say goodbye to Jean-oji-san and return to Class A.

When I opened the door, Carol trotted towards me.

“How was it, Makoto?” Carol asked.

“Hmm? I was told to transfer to the seminary,” I said while I returned to my seat.

Carol showed me an angry face.

It’s a rare expression, unusual for Carol, who is always so cheerful.

It’s sharp and cute.

“I will not forgive them, I will stop the supply of potions to the school,” Carol said.

“You don’t need to, because I canceled the transfer,” I said.

“Really? That’s a relief, how did you do it?” Carol asked.

“I threatened to start a holy war at the second official residence of Duke Pottinger, and would only stop once he promised me that Vivian-sama would withdraw her harassment,” I said.

“…”

Carol went silent.

“We-Well, it seems to be fine, it’s a relief…” Carol said.

“If I threaten the principal, the academy will not support either faction and will remain neutral,” I said.

“I forgot that you can do something with such great military power, Makoto,” Carol said.

“Honestly, I did, too,” I said.

We both looked at each other and laughed.

The content of the conversation is dreadful, but the appearance is cheerful.

“The holy war was an empty threat… but… you’re kind, Makoto…” Elmer said. “So, I can’t see you actually declaring it… probably.”

“That’s true, but just knowing that I can do it will make others hesitate,” I said.

“With this, if the duke’s family becomes quieter, will the school life become quieter?” Carol asked.

“I sure hope so,” I said.

But, I don’t think so.

I have to do something about Grave.

Anthony-sensei has arrived.

He looked at my face and had a relieved expression.

I’m sorry to make you worry, Sensei.

After homeroom, it’s after school, and now we’re on the way home.

Anthony-sensei came up to me, so I gave him the same explanation as before, and after he was relieved, he frowned.

“I can’t accept you making threats against the backdrop of military force,” Anthony-sensei said.

“I had to because I couldn’t think of anything else,” I said.

“But, well, I suppose that couldn’t be helped, I’m happy that you will remain at the school, Kimball-san,” Anthony-sensei said.

“I’m a student who can’t ask that much, but I’d like to ask you for help in the future,” I said.

“Let’s do our best to come up with a little more peaceful solution,” Anthony-sensei said.

“Yes,” I said.

Well, Duke Pottinger’s Faction will probably stop.

“Are we heading to the meeting room, Makoto?” Carol asked.

“I wonder if I should, there’s also the welcome dance party for the new students,” I said.

“Will you be going, Makoto?” Carol asked.

“If I don’t go out, I won’t be able to protect the other members of our faction,” I said.

“Ah, yes, there are girls like Melissa and Marilyn who seem to like dance parties,” Carol said.

“Let’s go there together, Carol,” I said.

“I am……” Carol said.

“Ah, that’s right, I’ll disguise myself as a man and escort you,” I said.

“Ahaha, that’s fine, but you’re going to start a strange rumor again,” Carol said.

“Chie, I thought it was a good idea,” I said.

Oh, Curtis-onii-chan, Melissa-san, Marilyn-san, and Elsa-san are here.

“Makoto, let’s go to the meeting room,” Curtis said.

“Aren’t you going to club activities?” I asked.

“Meri-Meri said she wanted to go to the welcome dance, so that’s what the meeting is about,” Curtis said.

“Curtis-sama, my name’s not Meri-Meri,” Melissa said.

“I see, then, let’s go,” Curtis said.

We all go to the meeting room together.

Why is Elmer also with us?

“Will you come too, Makoto?” Melissa asked.

“Just in case, Melissa-san, you’ll be in trouble if the leader isn’t there,” I said.

“Thank you, Makoto-sama, I love you,” Melissa said.

“It’s still an important event for people who like to socialize,” Marilyn said.

“Makoto, you don’t have a man to escort you, do you?” Curtis said.

“Curtis, you must go with Elsa-san,” Carol said.

“That’s right, Curtis-sama,” Melissa said.

“Ugugu,” Curtis groaned.

Elmer stepped forward.

“I… will… escort Makoto… if she wants.”

“Ah, how sly, Elmer, you have a fiancée, don’t you?” Curtis asked.

“Fufu… Priscilla… is going to school next year… In the meantime, I’m… free,” Elmer said.

Elmer gave Curtis a rare smirk.

""

Curtis seems to hate him for it.

A dance party with Elmer.

Well, it’s good.

“By the way, who are Melissa-san and Marilyn-san’s escorts going to be?”

“We don’t have them.”

“Yes, we don’t, and we’re in trouble.”

“Isn’t it useless if you don’t have a guy to escort you?”

Maybe I’ll invite the guys from the Pentia Club next door.

It seems harmless if they’re just otakus.
