Five years have passed.

 I am approaching the time line of the original story.

 I received an invitation to take the entrance exam for the magic school.

 Of course I have to accept it.

 This is because the magic school is the main stage of the original story, Hero of the Deadly Sins and Hero of Destiny.

 Nobles usually enrol in magic schools.

 This was before Sister Leah enrolled in the magic school.

 She asked father what was bothering her.

"Father, I will enrol in a magic school. Later Rhea and Elias will also enrol. Then all the children will be away from home. Besides, there's the problem of the succession: ......'

 That was on my mind too.

 Normally, the eldest sibling of an aristocrat takes over, but since I'm not the legitimate son of a full wife, it's not going to be possible.

 As the eldest daughter, she was probably concerned about the question of succession to the Dietrich family, the most powerful dukes in the kingdom.

'A magic school is a place where excellent people are brought up, isn't it? If excellent people are nurtured, it is what both I and the Dietrich family want. The Dietrich family wants to have a talented man to take over the house. I don't care if it's Leah, Rhea or Elias, as long as you're good.'

"But I'm a woman, and I'm a woman. ......

'Only men can take over the aristocratic family? ...... It's so stupid. It's really lousy. To hell with appearances and male chauvinism! If you're a talented person, you should be able to play an active role in society, otherwise it's not good "

 My father's way of thinking was more like a modern man's way of thinking prior to my reincarnation than an aristocrat's way of thinking.

 Meritocracy.

 It sounds harsh, but as long as results were achieved, regardless of wealth or gender, it was a way of thinking that would be recognised.

 I can enter the school without any worries.

 Sister Leah, Sister Rhea, Luisa, Luis and Wilhelm have already enrolled.

 Wilhelm was in the third year in the upper secondary class, sister Leah and Luisa were in the second year in the upper class, sister Luis was in the first year in the upper secondary class, and sister Rhea was in the third year in the upper secondary class.

 I had thought that a brainy type like Wilhelm would not be able to use magic, but surprisingly he had a talent for earth magic and was able to fight by covering his body with rocks or by covering his fists with rocks.

 The entrance examination consists of practical and written tests.

 In practical test, applicants fight each other and are judged by an examiner.

 The exam is not only to see who wins and who loses, but also to see the talent of the magician, so it seems that the loser may also pass the exam.

 The written examinations include not only magic, but also grimoire studies, pharmacology, history, geography, tactics and religious studies.

 History includes questions not only about this country, but also about other countries and the history of magic.

 The fact that half of the points are awarded for magick shows that the school is looking for those who not only have a feel for magic, but also an understanding of its logic.

 It seems that the results of the practical and written examinations determine pass/fail and the pecking order at the time of admission.

 The examinations I took with Lady Mira.

 The school is a merit-based school and the pecking order is determined by the results of the entrance examinations, so even royalty were not exempt from the examinations.

 My practical test partner was a noblewoman, but I was overwhelmed from start to finish, so there was no problem.

 I liked reading books, so I should have no problem with the written exam either.

 I was told that it usually takes a couple of months to receive a letter of acceptance, but in my case I received it the next day.

 I was glad I hadn't failed.

 Mira-sama also passed without any problems, and we were to attend the entrance ceremony together.

 I wanted to go in separate carriages, but Mira-sama insisted on going with me and I couldn't refuse.

 At the main residence, I give my departure speech to my father.

"Father, I am off."

"Ah, you already know that the Dietrichs can't be defeated. Hmm, I don't need to tell you that, do I?"

"No, I'll keep that in mind."

 I feel that Father recognises me more than before.

 I want to live up to his expectations.

 When I left the main residence, Sophia followed me.

"Well, shall we go, Elias-sama?"

"Ah, Sophie."

 Sophia is not enrolled in a magic school.

 Sophia is not the same age as me and, fundamentally speaking, she is not good at magic.

 It must have been frustrating.

 In this country, the idea that those who can use magic are the greatest is deeply entrenched.

 I feel that I want to do my best to make up for Sophia.

 When I came to the entrance of Dietrich territory, Christophe was there to greet me.

'Master Elias, it's finally the day of your enrolment. Congratulations. I'm sure there is no one in your age group who can match you, Master Elias."

'Thank you, Christophe. I owe it to Christophe that my magic has improved. I'll keep my head up.

"Master Elias, ...... you are too good for this ......."

 Christophe was rolling his eyes.

 'It's an undeniable fact that my magic has improved over the last five years because Christophe has been training me in magic.

"Elias, it's been a long time, mmmm.'

 Mira-sama came to pick me up.

 It's been a little while since the entrance exam, so it doesn't feel like it's been that long, but...

 She was beautiful to begin with, but five years have passed and she has become an adult, and her beauty has been refined even further.

"It has been a long time, Mira-sama. Are you well?"

'Yes, Elias is still the same. I am happy to meet you today."

"Mira.-sama"

"Yes? Sofia?"

May I accompany you to the main gate of the academy? I'm not only your maid, but also a guard "

"Yes, of course."

 It was decided that we would go to the magic school in the same carriage
