“N-no way…!? Two people not only took down a rampaging gigantes, but they did it that easily…!?”
“…Miss Nira, this is no time to be dumbfounded. We have a lot to do, like checking on the students’ safety and removing the barrier. Give instructions as the person in charge.”
“E-eh… Hum, Mister Castle? I-if this mess gets out there, it’s going to hurt the prestige of the school. We should keep it a secret among the people present…”
“If you have time to be worried about that, please get moving. I just said we have a lot to do. Did you not understand?”
Nira was responsible for this test, and the one who summoned the gigantes that went on a rampage, but she was only thinking about herself.
Uno thought to himself that this was very deplorable and scolded her. Ramy looked somewhat petulant, and twisted her face in frustration.
As she moved away with large steps, she started to give instructions to the other teachers.
Uno started looking for a way to get through the barrier and into the exercise area, when Setsuna called out to him.
“Mister Castle, correct? I’m sorry to bother you at such a troubling time, but do you have a moment?”
“Do we have to talk right now? We don’t know what else might happen, so I would rather you all evacuate…”
“I’m sorry. I just want to get this done now that there are no disturbances. I will make it brief, so please give me some of your time.”
As Setsuna said that, she glanced at Ramy, who was still giving instructions.
Uno understood that said disturbance was Ramy, and nodded silently.
“…Very well. What is it?”
“That male student in the black armor who defeated gigantes with Ryuuga Renjou… Can you tell me more about him? A profile starting with his name, and including his grades, the magic item he uses… All the information you can provide.”
It seemed Setsuna took an interest in Yuugo.
If Ramy, who backed the hero prospects, knew about this, she would be annoying. That was why Setsuna was collecting information behind her back.
“I understand. I can give you data about him later.”
“Thank you for your cooperation. It seems you are more reliable than that other teacher.”
Setsuna smiled, bringing a happy expression to her clean-cut features.
It seemed she was well aware of the questionable things Ramy did during this test.
Perhaps being a bow user meant she had sharp observing eyes, or maybe it was down to her personality that she did not let her guard down… But in any case, she had the qualities that made it clear why she was chosen to be an exchange student.
As Uno watched her leave, he thought that since she was interested in Yuugo, he would leave it to her to decide how she would proceed. And he handled the hysteric Ramy who ran up to him.
“Mister Castle!? What were you just talking about with the Yamato student!?”
“Nothing much. I was checking if she was hurt. More importantly… You want to keep this case under wraps, right? If so, I have a small proposal…”
Uno changed the subject to avoid her looking too deeply into it.
And as the subject changed in a way that seemed natural, and he negotiated with Ramy under the guise of a proposal, Raiha stared at Ryuuga.
“…I was too naive to think he might have lost his nerve. That was a wonderful performance befitting of the title of strongest swordsman.”
“That person, that power…”
Sakura whispered as she held back her excitement, after once again seeing the power of the number one swordmaster in their school in Yamato.
Raiha opened her mouth, as she heard her friend and also looked at Ryuuga, but seemed to think of something, and closed it.
What emotions did her trembling eyes contain as she hung her head? Only she knew.
Sakura looked at Raiha’s small back and Ryuuga in turn, and had a dark look on her face.
