Chapter 20: The Reunion of the Strongest Trio
The next morning our group met up in Ms. Mari’s office.
There was two reasons for this. First was because Bai Yueguang’s office hadn’t been assigned yet. The second reason was that it wasn’t good for us to discuss this in other places.
“So then……”
Ms. Mari looked at me and then at the others.
“Fir was attacked and his soul went into the body of a girl, and his original body disappeared. Now he wants to enroll to make a cover for his identity?”
“That pretty much sums it up.”
I nodded.
There wasn’t that many people in the room. Only me, Oyado, Aliyah, Bai Yueguang, Hei Luoli, Dale, Tai Shixi and Purewhite. While I heard Yerbil had come last night, and Falan was near here, I didn’t want too many people knowing that I had become a woman.
For this sort of humiliation it’s best to keep a low profile.
“I don’t know where Snake’s Eye is, and there’s no starting points for finding my body. Why not stay here for a little longer to sort out the quest and figure out what’s going on.”
“Un, that’s a good idea. And from your tone just then I could tell it’s you, Fir. In addition to your height you’ve become a mature beauty like me.”
“Hey now, I think it’s weird that you care about that…….”
I gave her a wry smile before continuing to ask.
“So what are the conditions if I wanted to go to school?”
“The method to enroll into the school has been clearly written for some time now. Either get the recommendation of an aristocrat or take the entrance exam. As long as you can meet either of those conditions you can enter.”
“So it’s like that……”
“Even saying that, now that I’ve gotten a good look at you……your body isn’t suitable for becoming a magician, right? Your physical abilities seem to be good, but there isn’t any system skills, and I don’t think you are good at melee right?”
“Yeah, generally melee depends on a trick to decide victory. Normally I don’t get close to them.”
“It fits your character.”
Ms. Mari shook her head.
“Do you want to study to be a swordsman like me? The power is formidable!”
Aliyah suggested then.
“What! Learn to be an assassin with me!”
“Being an assassin and the like, what’s so good about being in the shadows?”
“What do you know! Big brother likes to stab people in the back!”
Hey! Hey! Hey! My lovely little sister, what are you talking about! How could your brother be such a shameless person? Although I like to stab people in the back, I’ve never made a habit of it! I am an upright person……and who shanks others from behind!
“Cough cough, Oyado, I’ve never shanked someone from behind though?”
“Eh? Isn’t big brother fond of holding people in ice and beating people up?”
(TL: The word use for beating up specifically used for a sub in an SM play)
“While I do lock people up in ice, but there’s nothing like beating people up. I don’t have that sort of SM tendencies, although I definitely use ice and run.
“All right all right, stop arguing.”
Bai Yueguang said with seriousness in his voice.
“Anyways, since you’ve already learned some longsword techniques with me, just use them.”
“Mind your own business!”
Aliyah and Oyado roared at the same time. Bai Yueguang’s body shook and he quickly retreated to the wall.
……
Didn’t you get scared too quickly?
Helpless, I had no choice but to look to Ms. Mari.
“Hey……”
Ms. Mari shook her head.
“In that case it would be good to change the way the way that you use magic. It’s not good if you keep relying on ice magic to damage people or hold them in place. It would be best if you relied on other properties.”
“Well, that’s not a problem. What is a problem is that this body doesn’t have that good of magical abilities.”
“Then just rely on the magical guide book. Anyways, magical swordsman is a recognized occupation in this college. That person……what’s her name?”
“Melody?”
“Right right, it was Melody. She’s one of the college’s first magical swordsmen.”
“That’s fine. So what do you do when you enroll? Fight someone?”
“Well, there’s some choice. You can do a written test, and you have to get over 80% on it to be enrolled. Or you can beat the teacher who is responsible for the test.”
“I see. How do you sign up?
“Well…… that’s right.”
Ms. Mari stood up from her leather chair.
“Anyways, because of your thing, the school’s class time has changed from morning to afternoon and the afternoon combat class was canceled thanks to you.”
“You’re blaming me?”
“Let’s go see the dean now.”
Ash she spoke, Ms. Mari walked to the door.
“Speaking of which, Bai, you should come too. The dean has been saying that he can’t find you.”
“Whoever told you that your office number wasn’t in order, they couldn’t find it?”
Bai Yueguang smiled.
Oh my god. Could it be that the reason you don’t have an office is……
“All right, you and Fir will follow me. Everyone else, do what you want to do, but don’t follow.”
Even if you say so, some of them will still follow.
Laughing in my heart, I followed Ms. Mari’s footsteps.

Imperial College Malan Business District
That the same time, Falan was holding onto a large bag of magical materials as she headed towards the dorm.
Because of the attack, the school is routinely inspected during the day. Even though it was announced, she didn’t know what to do, so Falan went back to working on her profession in her idle time.
Since she couldn’t study necromancy, and there were eleven Saints in the college, she began to study her cover magic, and improving her fire magic
The Witt Empire used water magic after all. Although it wasn’t a simple as water putting out fires, but there was some restriction, so Falan began to research on how to prevent interference from water magic.
While she was walking one of the shops on the side caught her attention.
“This shop……”
Looking at it from outside, it was a magical tool shop and there were people in the front handing out fliers.
But what caught Falan’s attention was the mark of a moon intersecting with a magic wand in the lower right corner.
“Could it be……”
Thinking for a second, Falan went over and pushed the shop’s door open.
“Yo, welcome to……ah pui. Is that you Falan? It’s been a long time.”
The voice came from behind the counter. At the same time there was another acquaintance standing in front of the counter, leisurely beckoning her over.
“I knew it……Lanya, Yerbil, when did you arrive?”
That’s right. The person who had opened the shop was none other than Lanya. And standing before the counter was Yerbil, who had only arrived the previous night.
“Last night. But Lanya came two days ago and only finished setting up the shop yesterday.”
“Really, you didn’t even come and say hello.”
Falan said, putting down her bag.
“Speaking of which, the school’s been destroyed for a long time now, right? This is the first time we’ve gotten together since then.”
“Yeah. Anyways, why don’t you buy something from my shop? You’ll get a discount.”
“Your discounts can barely be called that. But why haven’t you advertised your store? I wouldn’t have know that this was yours.”
“Well, I had only decided to open up here two days ago.”
“Eh?”
Falan was lightly stunned.
“Is it because of what happened to Fir? Yerbil, you’re here because of him, right?”
“Un. The pope has put a placed a great amount of importance on this event. There was traces of necromancy there, along with signs of summoning. If the enemy has the ability to summon demons we absolutely cannot stand by idly. But I came for personal reasons.”
“To convince Fir to join the church?”
“Of course!”
While giving Yerbil a serious look, Falan was laughing madly in her heart. Hahaha, you never actually thought that Fir was the necromancer, hahahaha.
“And Lanya?”
“I’m here because of her detector.”
Lanya took out an object that looked like a cell phone.
“Before when I gave Fir some equipment, I had slipped a tracker inside of them. And the tracker is showing that Fir is inside the academy……and moving.”
“What……”
Falan and Yerbil stared at Lanya for a moment in shock, before grabbing her and running out.
“What are you waiting for! Go catch him!”
