----------------------------------------------------------
When we arrived at the class, our guide teacher was the first to introduce himself:
"Well, once again, congratulations on your admission. I'm in charge of this class, Alfred Marcus. I'll also be overseeing your practical training, so look forward to that. After this, we'll each do a presentation. I'll inform you about the schedule starting from tomorrow, and then we'll wrap up for today. So, let's start with me. Like I mentioned earlier, my name is Alfred Marcus. I'm also a graduate of this Advanced Magic Academy, and it's been five years since I became an instructor. Before that, I was part of the Royal Court's Magician Division. After working there for five years, since there was an opening for a teaching position at the academy, I became an instructor. That's why I'm currently 28 years old. The person I respect is Magi Merlin, which is why I'm thrilled to be the instructor in charge of this class. That's all."
"Now, the next ones are all of you. So, let's go in the order of the entrance exam ranking, starting with Shin Walford."
"Yes. Well, I'm Shin Walford. Even though I mentioned this during the representative's speech, I've been living in the forest until recently, so I don't know much about the world. That's why, even if I end up doing some strange things, please don't abandon me. I was taught by Jii-chan, so I can use magic in general. Since Baa-chan also taught me Enchantment Magic, I can create magical tools too. The people I respect are Jii-chan and Baa-chan, and the person I want to surpass is my older brother Ryu. So, please take care of me."
"Next is August."
"Yes. Everyone, I think most of you already know me, but there might be someone as uninformed as Shin. So, once again, I'm August von Earlshide, the First Prince of this Kingdom. However, as you all know, social hierarchy doesn't apply here at this academy, and that includes the Royal Family. So, please feel free to talk to me without any reservations, just like with Shin and Ryu. While not as much as them, I can boast that I can use magic to a certain extent. If I were to be compared to them, it's only to a 'certain extent'. The people I respect are Father and, of course, Magi Merlin. Please take care of me from now on."
"Next is Maria von Meshina."
"Yes. Nice to meet you all. I'm Maria von Meshina. I'm the second daughter of Count Meshina. Since the Girls' Academy didn't suit me, and I'm quite skilled in magic, I came to the Magic Academy to find someone. Like His Highness said recently, it would make me very happy if everyone feels free to come talk to me. The person I respect the most is, as expected, Guru Melinda-sama. My goal is to become a strong and beautiful woman just like Melinda-sama! Please take care of me!"
"Next is Yuri Carlton."
"Yes~! Nice to meet you all~! I'm Yuri Carlton. My family manages a hotel. So, everyone~ if you want to secretly spend the night, you can come tell me anytime, okay? I'll give you a discount, okay? I'm good at Enchantment Magic, so I really respect the strong and beautiful Melinda-sama from the bottom of my heart. Also, I came to this place to find a 'Big Bad Wolf' that left me a while ago and told me they would come to this academy. Everyone~ please take care of me, okay?"
"Next is Secily von Claude."
"Yes. Nice to meet you all. My name is Secily von Claude. I'm the third daughter of Viscount Claude. I came with my best friend Maria to take the entrance exam for the Magic Academy to meet someone. I'm good at Healing Magic, but my attack-related magic is a bit lacking. I think I'll be able to support everyone. The person I respect the most is Melinda-sama. I'd like to meet her someday, if possible. Please take care of me."
"Next is Alice Corner."
"Yes~! Nice to meet you all. I'm Alice Corner. Although there have been people from incredible families before me, I'm afraid the trend stops with me. My family is an ordinary commoner family, and my father does accounting for the Hauge Company. Unfortunately, I'm not good with accounting, so I'll work hard in magic! I'm really fortunate to be in the same class as Guru's grandchildren! The person I respect the most is Melinda-sama. Please take care of me!"
"Next is Thor von Flegel."
"Yes, I'm Thor von Flegel. The heir of the Flegel Barony. I was chosen at a young age to be the escort and school friend of His Highness Prince Augusto, and since then, I've been progressing alongside him. This time, for the purpose of Prince Augusto's advancement through the Advanced Magic Academy, and also for my own plan of joining the escort of the Magic Division, I would like to dedicate myself to my studies at this Advanced Magic Academy. Of course, I also respect Magi Merlin-sama. Please take care of me from now on."
"Next is Rin Hughes."
"Yes. I'm Rin Hughes. Father is a Magician of the Royal Court, and Mother is a homemaker. I came here because I love magic. I respect Merlin-sama. Please take care of me."
"Next is Tony Freed."
"Yes. Nice to meet you all. I'm Tony Freed. My family, all of them, are from a lineage of Knights. Father, Mother, and my older brother, all attended the Knight Training Military Academy, but a school with a male-to-female ratio of 9:1 is torture for me, you know. Anyway, I don't want to go to that kind of academy. But I was told that if I want to enroll in the Magic Academy, I won't be allowed unless I get into Class S. So, I worked desperately hard. By the way, if I were to drop from Class S, I'd be forcefully transferred to the Knight Military Training, so I'll work hard here too. As expected, as a man, I respect Merlin-sama, who's associated with Melinda-sama. Everyone, please take care of me from now on. Also, Carlton-san, take care of me when I use your hotel."
"When I heard the last part of his speech, I stared at him, feeling that there was a double meaning, so I'll make things clear when it's my turn to introduce myself."
"Lastly, we have Julius von Rittenheim."
"Indeed. My name is Julius von Rittenheim. The eldest son of the Rittenheim Marquis House. Similar to Thor, I also serve Prince Augusto as his escort and study companion. But since His Highness decided to continue his studies at the Magic Academy, I also took the entrance exam. In reality, I'm weak in magic, so I really struggled. Nonetheless, I somehow managed to pass the exam, and I'm fortunate to be able to sit next to all of you. The people I respect are, of course, Magi Merlin-dono, and the former General of the Knights, Michel-dono."
"Lastly, Ryu Wolford."
"I don't know if it was due to the protagonists' script or fate, but it was my turn last. Well, as many of you might imagine, I'm Ryu Wolford, Shin's older brother. I specialize in various types of magic as well as sword combat. Many people know me from the books I've published over the years and my music. Additionally, I was trained by my grandparents until I was 10 years old. Finally, the people I respect the most are my family members, and I have three girlfriends who are also in this class due to a promise we made years ago. I hope you'll take care of me."
