I''m currently in the middle of the departmental exam. While I was in the teacher''s meeting room, as if I was in a middle cushion, Sieg approached me,


    "Are you worried too?"


    And asked me the obvious question.


    "Well yeah"


    I have been their teacher for more than half a year. There is no way I am not worried. But they are already out of my hands. That''s right, they have already graduated from me. In the first ce, a teacher can only point out the path of the students at most. The rest is up to the students themselves. Besides, I''ve already taught them what I have to. They''ll grow up on their own in the future.


    "They are your students. I''m also greatly interested in what the result will be, but what about them?"


    Judging from the condition of Sieg''s ghastly approach, I can see that the situation will turn for the worse if those kids fail. Seems like this Imperial country is really serious about having a fight with me.


    Just as I was about to start something一一


    "Hmph! This is thest time I will see your disgusting face!"


    A white haired old man wearing armor cut off between and shouted out. This geezer, if I''m not wrong, should be the vice principal of this academy. This old man is always shouting at me like this whenever we meet.


    There''s no merit in dealing with this kind of materialistic person. It''s best to deal with them perfunctoryly.


    "I''m really d to hear that. Congrattion"


    When I smiled and said my congrattory words, Sieg shook his head left and right while covering his face with right palm. In regards to that, the face of the vice principal turned deep red, like a boiled octopus. Oops, it was and mine.


    "What''s with your tone!! Did you bastard doesn''t have any respect for superiors一一"


    A ck haired thin man with narrow eyes forcibly cut in between from the side of the vice principal who was prattling continuously like a machine gun, as he spit out his saliva.


    "Vice principal, it''s about time to post the grouping list for the practical exam. The matches this time will not only be watched by your majesty the emperor, imperial family and chief retainers but also the Ex emperor. In order to work out the details of the schedule, I''ve asked the chief professors to wait in a separate room. Can you check?"


    He whispered in his ears as he handed a big letter to the vice principal.


    "Hmph, I understand"


    Sieg let out a sigh as the vice principal left the teacher''s meeting room together with his attendee with his face with an expression of ttery, aplete U turn from the earlier raging expression.


    "This guy, he was overjoyed as soon as he heard Ex emperor ising"


    "Was he really in high spirits?"


    That, in a sense, is reallymendable.


    "Yes, normally he would have yelled thirty percent more than  now"


    The ck haired thin eyed man, Oscar, shrugged his shoulders and said.


    "That fool doesn''t matter. Besides Oscar, what about the result of the grouping chart?"


    Sieg gives instruction to Oscar while waving his right hand idly as if shaking off a fly.


    "Yes, here it is"


    Oscar took out a parchment from the bag and handed it to us. I opened the parchment and began to look through the content.


    " A joint match with senior grade students!!? Ridiculous!!"


    Sieg mmed down the grouping list while a thick blue vein popped out on his temple.


    "There''s no need for you to be angry. The handicap of this level was already in my expectation range. In fact, the situation is even more good now"


    This academy has sses from C to A and the newly established S ss this year. The system allows students to advance three times, be a fourth year student, and pass the graduation exam at the end of the year to graduate.


    Promotion is a difficult process, and many students, like Cliff, have been in school for several years, but are still in their second year.


    This year is round robin tournament, because of the so called league match.


    And there are three crucial groupings.


    First, S ss freshman : C ss freshman, B ss freshman and A ss freshman.


    Second league : C ss sophomore, B ss sophomore and A ss sophomore.


    Third league is : G ss, third year C ss, third year B ss, third year A ss.


    The winners of the three leagues will y a decisive league to decide the first three ces.


    "But this grouping is obviously bad!"


    "No, what are you saying? A league game. Isn''t it somehow the best thing!"


    Rather, the worst thing for the ss G is to have them sh against the S ss, even in the tournament match.


    In fact, the only thing that decide the win or lose for G ss is the S ss led by Caesar and Sylphy. That was self evident from the beginning. Well, obviously Ste, the awakened one should be excluded from representative members but they must have been trained well.


    First of all, there''s no doubt that if it''s my student, there''s no problem in achieving a high score in the individual test. The only thing that made me apprehensive was the team battle from the beginning.


    "No, you Sir didn''t get it all! It''s difficult to get promoted in this magic academy. Even if it''s ss C of third year, there battle strength is far more than the second year ss A. They aren''t opponents that can be won in just half a year training!"


    I feel a bit ufortable from the remarks of Sieg.


    "Sieg, did you perhaps haven''t seen the battle strength of ss S with your own eyes?"


    "Humph! I''m just lending my name to the ss G for formalities sake only. The actual management is in the hand of Horus and Riot."


    As expected. However, the name of the lord of military affairs, Horus, came here? That man is abnormal. He has crossed the line as a human in an exceedingly rational way. On top of that you add Sylphy and Caesar. I no longer have any idea how much ss S is strengthened. If that''s the case, then thisbination is still extremely fortuitous.


    "I see. Then more so the reason to be not worried about it. As long as the filthy adults doesn''t do a backhand dealing for insignificant reason, nothing bad will happen"


    I''m sure students will be in a considerable high rank. At very least, they aren''t going to fail. The bell rang to end the exam. Is it over? If it''s my students, they would have been able to get passing marks and would be able to get a solid score in a team battle. I should say, they should be fine.


    "Filthy adults huh...... Somehow, it''s strangely much more persuasive power listening form your mouth"


    "Hey, what do you mean一一"


    "N-Not good!!"


    The pointy hat teacher, Reba, rushed in while almost tumbling down.


    "What happened?"


    Asked Sieg, frowning.


    "Right after the exam was over, Cliff Mird bashed down the examinar!!"


    "What?"


    She blurted out something which was almost impossible.
