Chapter 13: 013. Uninvited Guest (1)
The western district of Vera Academy has traditionally been a spacious area filled with dormitories and lecture halls for students. Perhaps due to the start of a new semester, the atmosphere in each class was bustling with excitement.
It was only natural that, despite feeling a bit awkward and somewhat tense, each student's face reflected a faint sense of anticipation, reminiscent of the bright future of the continent.
"Phew..."
However, not everyone could be in a good mood.
The girl who sighed deeply, Delia, was in a troubled state of mind. She had fainted during the entrance exam after being startled by a skeleton that had jumped out of the darkness, which led her to be placed in a B-Class, much to her dismay.
An evaluation given without her being able to showcase her abilities. And this news had surely reached her father, the stern duke of the empire, who had supported her in every way since her birth.
"Ahh..."
Just thinking about what kind of reprimand would await her upon returning home was enough to make her feel uneasy. Unlike the others who were filled with expectations, she could only let out deep sighs.
"Delia, why do you look so worried?"
"Ah. Mari."
Whether she knew of Delia's worries or not, a girl approached her and spoke.
This girl, Mari, who was said to be from the western Gallia Kingdom, had been assigned a room next to Delia's dormitory, and thanks to her natural sociability, they had already become friendly despite the semester just beginning.
