Each magic academy will have five representatives participate in the upcoming autumn magic school competition 『Magic Tournament』 are five representatives for each magic school.

At Galois Magic Academy, up to 4 out of 5 students will be selected from the top performers in combat classes, subjugation quests, and mock combat.
These four people are the four strongest in Galois Magic Academy.
The four strongest haven’t changed since last year, Christina-san, Nell, Lenia, Phenia … Just for the form I guess I’ll call her Phenia-san, fumu, Phenia-san it is.

At last year’s competition, Lenia, who did not show interest in human affairs, and Christina-san, who hated to appear in public, declined to participate, so three other people had to be selected in the qualifying session. ..
But this year, both Lenia and Christina-san are motivated by my presence, so the entire big four will participate in the Magic Tournament, thus only one person will be selected in the qualifying session.

And I had just completed the formalities at the executive office, necessary to participate in the qualifying session to become the fifth of the five.
Looking at the list of qualifying participants, I see no serious opponents.
There was only one student who could fight me. That student seemed to come to see the bulletin board just like me, and I immediately got to see her.

「Good morning, Dran-san」

Lenia, one of the four strongest, greeted me with a big smile coloring the faces of the students around her with fear.
Beside her was a figure of lady Irina, who was arguably the only friend of Lenia. But how did these two even come to get along?
Seeing Lenia, who until now never showed any emotions aside from anger and displeasure, now beaming with a smile, the surrounding students shuddered, as if feeling the premonition of an approaching catastrophe.

「Good morning, Lenia, Irina」

When I greeted them, Irina bowed so low it could even be called exaggerated. Fumu, it’s amazing that she can stick to Lenia despite this timidness, or rather, shyness.

「Are you looking for a list of participants for the qualifying round? 」

「Yes. I said I didn’t need to see it, but Irina is so persistent. And… I cannot not come after hearing that fa… Dran might be there too」

「Aah, Lenia-chan, you are too overconfident. You don’t know who is going to be your opponent.」

「It is you who lacks confidence. Besides, other than Dran-san, no one in this magic academy can possibly compete with me. No matter who the opponent is there is no way I will lose.」

As one can easily guess from this statement, yes, Lenia was not selected as a representative for the Magic Tournament.
Lenia’s performance was among the top four, and her fighting ability was also refined, so she should have been selected.

However, Lenia was never selected as a representative. The reason for that was Lenia’s continued absence for a few lessons. To put it simply, lack of school credits.

Lenia herself didn’t care much about it, but given that a student’s main job is academic, she who neglected her duties couldn’t be chosen as a representative of the Magic Academy in this prestigious competition, so decided the academy.

However, as Lenia was motivated to participate, it was way too wasteful to ban her, considering her fighting ability.

That, I think, is the reason why Lenia was made to participate in the qualification stage with other students. I guess the school decided that there would be no problem with the facade that she is neither recommended nor selected, but instead won the spot of a representative by competing with other students.

And her lack of credit must have been supplemented by taking a ton of her additional examinations.

「It’s good to have confidence, but neglecting your studies is not praiseworthy, Lenia」

「That’s right, Dran-san. It’s always hard to get Lenia-chan to take classes! Even those that she is required to take! 」

Seeing Irina speak loudly as if she had gained an unexpected ally, Lenia begins to panic, seemingly flustered by Irina’s unnecessary words in front of the one she deems her soul father. I guess she is at the age when she wants to look good in front of me.

「Irina, don’t say anything extra in front of him! Dran-san, I just didn’t take the class because I judged that it wasn’t necessary, and of course, when it was needed, I participated, by no means I was lazy.」

「Unacceptable. You are still living on the money of your parents, right? Then it is only natural to try to respond to it.
If I were the parent, I would be greatly disappointed If I learned that my child had abandoned the class at their own discretion. 」

「W-wha-ah…」

The next moment Lenia’s petite body swayed and she fell to her knees. Looks like she was quite shocked by my words.
Fumu, liking me is all good and fancy, but Lenia seems a little too dependent.
If she is to be swayed by my every word and action, eventually, it might ruin her mental or physical health. I will have to think up how to deal with this…
Fumu, well, that aside, time to talk about what is happening in reality.

「I saw the match table in addition to the participants list earlier, but the only time I and Lenia might face each other is in the finals.
The number of participants has been narrowed down to eight, including two of us, but since it is Christina-san, Phenia, and Nell who have been confirmed as representatives, if we advance to the finals we already will be confirmed as a representatives.」
「Yes. Luckily, with both Dran-san and I being confirmed as representatives, we gained a good opportunity to demonstrate our power to the academy’s masses.」
Selina looked with astonishment at Lenia, who triumphantly spoke after instantly recovering, and then, leaning closer to me, whispered into my ear.

「Dran-san, isn’t Lenia-san quick to switch over? A moment ago she was despairing like it was the end of the world, and now she is completely fine. Moreover, it doesn’t seem like she is pretending.」

「Think of it as one of the few strengths of Lenia. I was taught to look at the good, not the bad of others」

「Oh, I was taught that by my dad and mom too. But in Lenia’s case, how should I put it?」

Selina hesitated to continue, but I knew well enough what she wanted to say.

In the case of Lenia, there are too few good points and there are mountains of bad points in inverse proportion to it. Of course Selina will find it hard to say such a thing.

*

Two days after confirming the notification about the qualifying session posted on the bulletin board, the qualifying session was held at the grand stadium on the premises of Galois Magic Academy.
All classes were cancelled, filling the circular stadium with students and faculty members who were looking forward to this day.

The leaders of the Academy of Magic, including the director of the Academy of Magic Olivier, sit on the highest level, observing the skills of the students from comfortable seats.
Selina, Christina-san, Fatima, Nell, Joshua, Zenon, Berg, Lenia, and Irina are already in the front row of the spectators’ seats.

Having already entered the grand stadium, I proceed to the center of the arena and turn to face my opponent for the first round.
