Dividing into groups.
“Mmm, it would certainly be safer for you to bring the Sacred Beasts with you, but… The knight in training students are also practicing as guards, and it would be a distraction to the other students. Could they do their best to keep out of sight and sound?”
Having been told that, I would be too awkward forcing them to go with us.
If it comes down to it, I have barrier magic and teleport magic, so I’m sure we can manage since we can also summon them via telepathy.
I wanted them to actually see the results of what I had learned from everyone, but I’ll ask them to stay at home. That’s too bad.
The other members who were in the same group were Adry-sama and Alicia-sama.
Since Adry-sama was just barely able to pass the written exam, we thought we could support him since we had a good score.
As for Alicia-sama, her friends were not able to pass the written exam, and since the other group was made up of only male students, she was assigned to our group, which had more female students, because it would be less mentally demanding for her.
“Yo! I’m glad we’re in the same group! Please teach me lots along the way!”
Adry-sama put his hand on Sei’s shoulder, and tightly hugged him.
“Let go of me. Have you not memorized the herbs properly?”
“Ah~… Sometimes, I can’t quite tell the difference~ But it’s alright! Everyone told me that I would remember them when I actually see them!”
Apparently, Adry-sama’s father and brother gave him some advice…
Hmm, I suspect that Adry-sama’s family also has a hint of muscles in their brains…
“Fuohh… what a sight…”
Mariel-chan, you are covering your mouth with a notebook, but I, the neighbor, can see your loose mouth, can’t I? You should be more careful.
Just as I was about to warn Mariel-chan, I saw Alicia-sama looking at me out of the corner of my eye.
Since we were now in the same group, I thought it would be a good idea to say hello to her.
I turned my gaze in Alicia-sama’s direction, and our eyes met.
“…!”
Alicia-sama didn’t expect our eyes to meet, and she looked frightened for a moment before turning away in a huff while twirling her rolls.
Oh no, she avoided me.
Ugh, it’s hard to talk to someone when they are so blatantly avoiding you…
“… Good grief, that Alie. Sorry about her. I will talk to her later.”
Adry-sama looked at Alicia-sama, who was not looking at us, with an expression that said, “She’s helpless.”
I don’t want Adry-sama to get involved in this because I have a feeling things might get even more complicated…
“Rather than that, have you prepared all the necessary gear? I got my Aniki’s hand-me-downs!”
Adry-sama changed the subject about the preparation for the practical training.
Adry-sama, who is a Big brother’s boy, told us that he went out of his way to beg for his big brother’s hand-me-downs.
I felt my heart warmed, while Mariel-chan was smiling at the preciousness of the brotherly love.
