It was the day after she had decided to transfer to the school as a student while working as an instructor at the Academy of Magic.
Fran and Urushi were walking towards the Academy of Magic.
ăYou didnât feel any sign of the spirit after that, huh?ă
ăNnă
Perhaps the contact in the dining room had satisfied the spirits. And Fran was able to sleep soundly last night without waking up at all.
ăIs it easy for you to move around with that uniform?ă
ăNo problemă
ăBut even so, its impact was so dangerously destructive⊠Fran, do you like the uniform?ă
ăNn? Its defense power is low, but itâs quite easy to move in. But I donât think its destructive power is betteră
ăAahâ, I didnât mean it like that. What I mean is about its cuteness or something like thată
ă?ă
It was no good trying to explain it to her, huh? Well, I canât imagine Fran wearing girly clothes and being happy that she was called cute though.
Right now, Fran was wearing the uniform of the Academy of Magic. Aside from combat training, she was required to wear the uniform during classroom lessons.
This was to show the studentâs classes and grades clearly. In such a large academy, with a huge number of students, it would be more convenient to be able to tell by sight.
As a mammoth academy (TLN: giant academy), the academy store had uniforms of all sizes available for purchase on the spot. Oh, and in Franâs case, she got it for free.
The uniform of the Special Battle Class was a navy-blue blazer with the emblem of the Academy of Magic sewn on the shoulders and chest, a tie with white lines on a red background and a navy blue and white checked skirt.
She chose a white shirt, a gray vest sweater, navy blue socks, and black loafers because she was allowed to choose whatever she wanted for the rest of the outfit.
Eh? What do you mean? Itâs to my liking too though. Some cloaks and robes could be worn over the head to make her look more fantasy-like⊠But I purposely asked her to wear a school-like uniform, because, with that, Franâs prettiness would stand out even more!
ăNow all you need is a high twin tail and youâll be perfectâŠă
But there was a big problem with that.
Her cat ears would get in the way if she tried to make twin tails. I just realized that the supreme cat ears would clash with the supreme hairstyle!
So, she had no choice but to tie her hair into a low knot twin tail. Well, it looks great too.
ăMasteră
ăHmm? Whatâs wrong, Fran?ă
ăWhy has Master become small?ă
ăWell, it would be weird if you were carrying me on your back in this outfit, wouldnât it?ă
ă??ă
She was wearing a blazer, but it would be ruined if she was carrying a large sword so I transformed into the size of a dagger and hid on the inside of her blazer.
For now, I could maintain this state for a long time if it was just a resize. At the very least, I could maintain it on our time when weâre at the academy
It would be perfect if we had a school bag, but I guess it canât be helped. As long as we have the Dimensional Storage, that would only be a hindrance. However, her looks would be complete with that! Should I have Fran bring it with her? No, howeverâ
ăMaster⊠Youâve become strange againă
She gave me the same deadpan look she had given me yesterday when I was picking her uniform at the store. Were my thoughts leaking out?
ăA-ahaha. It isnât weird, is it? What was the weird part about it?ă
ăI knew it, it was weird after allă
ăUgh⊠W-well. More importantly, the main entrance is already in sightă
ăâŠNnă
Phew, did I manage to cover it up? No, letâs just say that I managed to cover it up.
ăYou must show them your ID card, okay?ă
ăOkayă
We were supposed to be able to get in by showing the guard her teacherâs ID card, butâŠ
ăHold on a second, young miss!ă
ăNn?ă
ăWoof?ă
A guard uncle stopped Fran when she tried to go straight through the main gate after presenting her teacherâs ID card.
He looked like a former adventurer with a stern appearance not like the calm and collected uncle at the back entrance. And there was a hint of confusion on his face.
ăAah, young miss, youâre a student, right?ă
ăNnă
ăBut what you presented to us was a teacherâs ID card, you know?ă
ăNnă
ăEeh?ă
ăNn?ă
They were wondering why Fran, who was dressed as a student, had presented them with a teacherâs ID card.
ăHowever, the spirit is not responding to her⊠Aah, could it be! The one with cat ears and brought a wolf with her is⊠Umm, can you tell me your name?ă
ăFrană
ăI see. Iâm sorry for stopping you. Iâve heard the story about you, but I just wanted to confirm it myselfă
ăNnă
ăWoofă
We were told that we could get in as long as she presented her teacherâs or studentâs ID card. But as expected, she should have shown her ID card a little more clearly for the first time. Or rather, she should have used the studentâs ID card instead.
ăI know you just got hired yesterday, but do you know the academyâs layout?ă
ăNo problemă
She had already confirmed the location of the classroom she was going to today.
Fran then said goodbye to the guard and continued to walk again.
However, she immediately tilted her head in confusion.
ă??ă
ăFran, whatâs wrong?ă
ăI felt like I was being watchedă
As Fran muttered so, the eyes of the surrounding students were focused on her. I wondered if perhaps they were the victim of yesterdayâs incident, but there was no fear or fright in their gazes.
They looked at her not without ill-feeling, but also jealousy and irritation which seemed to be the main ones.
ăWho is that pretty girl?ă
ăSh-sheâs cuteâŠ!ă
ăHey wait, where do you think youâre lookinâ at!ă
It seems that she had attracted attention as a mysterious pretty girl. Well, it couldnât be helped that our cute little Fran had acquired a different kind of cuteness with her uniform.
She was probably going to have to become accustomed to the hostility and contempt from the adventurers by now, but this kind of attention was rare, so it has even bothered her.
ăLetâs ignore it for now. It might stay like this for as long as weâre in this academy, and once you get used to it, it wonât bother you anymoreă
ăUnderstoodă
You guys with a delirious face just now, Iâve memorized your faces, so be prepared!
