Chapter 115.2
Class division at this school was only to divide the number of students for group activities and to assign homeroom teachers to manage the group.
The first year was basic education, so students were divided into classrooms according to the number of students in each class, but from the second year onward, students were only required to take classes in their desired subject, so there was not much point in having a homeroom teacher.
As Elena’s escort, I, of course, was in the same class due to the school’s consideration.
Carla was in another class, and the strange girl I had seen at the entrance ceremony was also in another class. The boy who seemed to be the grandson of the temple head was also in a different class, so the school may have wanted to separate students who might cause problems as much as possible.
In class, Elena was surrounded by female students of middle-class nobility, smiling peacefully, but she did not want to take off her “mask” for the public.
Even the ladies seemed to hesitate to go any further, and when Elena and I were talking alone, there were times when they stared at us from a distance so as not to disturb us.
A month passed without any problems for us or (especially) Carla, and when a faint hint of spring could be felt, an announcement was made that an inspection of the knights’ exercise would be held for middle-class nobles and above.
The exercises would be held in a grassland area that was not part of any territory, located between the Central Royal Domain, where the Royal Capital was located, and the territory of the Marquis of Wonkar. The unobstructed sea breezes made it an unpleasant place for human settlements, but there were no complaints from anywhere about the training.
As would be expected, none of the female students wanted to go to a place without an inn, which would take them three days even by carriage to reach, so there were only a few students overall that participated.
The school suggested that the few female students should get together, but the idea was dropped when Carla agreed to join the tour.
