Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

Dinner.

After receiving dinner, Almark and the three of them arrived at the table.

Although the number of students is gradually returning, there are still many vacancies.

When the vacation is over and everyone returns, all the tables in this cafeteria will be filled.

Almark also knows that Nelson and Morgan across the street are distracted.

Leila hasn't come yet.

Morgan,

Almark, let's switch seats.

I stood up and immediately repeated the act of sitting back and saying, "No, I can't."

"Morgan, calm down. Shame on you."

and Nelson licks Morgan, but even with Nelson, he's been shaking poverty for a while now.

"Leila, you're not coming. I wonder if I've changed my mind. Let's eat before it gets cold."

Almark suggested that Nelson

"No, no, no, I'm sure I'm crazy. Let's wait a little longer."

And shake his head violently.

Eventually, students came home after dinner, and when Nelson gave up his face, Leila finally showed up.

"Ah, Leila. This way, this way."

When Almark waved his hand, Morgan and Nelson suddenly became quiet.

Leila walks slowly to the three of them when she receives dinner.

"... you haven't eaten yet? It's not cold anymore?

After seeing the three men eat, Leila frowns.

I thought you were waiting for Leila.

Almark sat next to Morgan, saying that Leila was fine.

Morgan glances at Nelson and smiles.

"Let's eat."

That's what Leila said, and she immediately put her mouth to the meal.

Oh, wow.

Nelson answers under pressure and starts eating.

Morgan and Almark start eating after that.

Leila doesn't seem particularly willing to talk to the three of them.

Carry the meal to your mouth silently.

Nelson and Morgan look at the flyers and Leila and try to talk, but they don't have the courage to look at each other.

Almark decided not to worry about the area anymore.

"As soon as class starts, there's a martial arts competition, right?

Almark asks Nelson as he carries his meal to his mouth.

"Hmm? Ah, ahh."

"Does it mean everyone in the class leaves?

Nelson twisted his neck as he looked at why it was such a topic.

"No, I don't think so. It's our first time this year, so I don't know for sure."

"Five."

Leila answered without looking at the three of them.

"Five in a game."

"Can only five people leave?"

Leila shook her head at Almark's words.

"As Dr. Bowen said before, You didn't hear anything."

I thought you said that.

"One game, four boys and one woman. In a class match, a third grade pair, two pairs, three pairs of total wins. I have to play two matches in each class, so there are 10 of them out."

According to Leila, Almark twisted his neck.

"In that case, we only have 6 students because we have 16 students in our class. I'm sure you and Wendy are the girls."

Leila shakes her head slightly and doesn't respond.

"I'm coming to the game, too. I've been practicing swords all summer."

Nelson said, Leila raised her face and looked at Nelson with her eyebrows frowned.

"... during the summer? That's good, I'm free."

Nelson is stuck in words.

"What are you going to be doing practicing martial arts all summer?"

Almark softens Leila's glance at Nelson with cold eyes.

"Leila, that's too much."

When he heard that, Morgan across the street shook his head in a hurry.

"Hey, Almark."

"Nelson has been practicing hard for martial arts competitions. That's not the way to put it."

"... that's why I'm saying I'm free."

Leila shouted in amazement.

"You still can't use one of the magic. Someone who only practises martial arts. It's really nice to have free time. Are the magicians you want to be in the future within reach?

Leila doesn't even look at the three faces. Wrinkle between the eyebrows and put the vegetables together with a fork and stick them into the mouth.

"... my goal is higher. Even if I keep trying as it is, I don't know if it will arrive. That's why I don't have time to waste."

"It's a goal that you're trying so hard to reach. It must be a fantastic goal."

Nelson said. You must be in a bad mood, there's a thorn in your words.

You don't have to tell me.

Leila rounded it up lightly.

"Say, I don't think you understand exactly."

You, me, too.

Morgan rushed to stop what Nelson was saying.

"Hey, both of you. Let's have some fun."

"I'm done eating. Thank you for your meal."

Leila stood up with the dishes.
