The submission of the paperwork to the school went surprisingly easily.
“Submitting the paperwork to the school itself went fairly easily.”
The form had a column for “purpose of going there,” but I just wrote on it that it was for watching the tournament. It would have been a waste of time and trouble if I had written that I was going to attend a beast competition.
“Still, it’s nice to know I’m exempted from the test.”
“The only one who was saved by that is you nii-sama. Both Shana and I have enough academic ability to pass any test from now on.”
I spoke with the principal, who happened to be there when I turned in my paperwork.
“I will exempt you from all future tests at the school. The three of you who performed particularly well in the battle against the school will not receive any objections if you are given special treatment. The three of you should go and enjoy sightseeing in Beast Kingdom. However, please return to the royal capital in case there is an event at the school.”
The principal told me that at that time.
This was not the first time sometime like this has been brought up, and it had been discussed among the teachers from the beginning. Even at that time, almost all the teachers were in favor of the test exemption.
So the paperwork for the test exemption was already prepared, and all we had to do was sign it. We spent a little time checking and signing the paperwork.
“They were probably worried that we would be forced to leave the academy.”
“Hmm?”
“…?”
Apparently, the principals were concerned that the three of us might quit the school. It is true that we are registered at the school, but we hardly go there at all. So there is no problem even if we quit. As the third son and eldest daughter of a noble family, we can’t just drop out of the school, but that doesn’t matter from the school’s point of view.
“But even if we quit, it will only affect us to the extent that it will weaken the inter-school competition, right?”
“That’s not really the case.”
“Huh?”
I thought there would much of an impact we leave the academy, but according to Sophie, that’s not the case.
She said that just because we went to the school, it would have a lot of name value. Furthermore, there is a rumor going around that if you are chosen as a member of the inter-school competition, you will be given personal training, and there are people who are working hard for that purpose.
How did Sophie know about this?
“Is it possible for us to do our best to practice a few times like that?”
“The real purpose isn’t to practice.”
“Is that so?”
It seems that the training is just for the public eyes. The real purpose is to get close to us. Shana is royalty and Sophie is the eldest daughter of a Count. Both of them are of good family background and both of them are quite good looking. Shana has a pretty face, and Sophie is becoming more and more beautiful every year. I have a reasonably good-looking face, too. I don’t know if I’m in the same league as Shana and Sophie, but it seems they’re making an effort to get to know us better.
“We’re back.”
“Oh? You’re back earlier than expected.”
“That was fast.”
The three of us had filed our paperwork, so we returned to the mansion where Elira and Carina were waiting for us.
“Shall we go shopping?”
We all headed out to buy food and daily necessities that we would need on our way to the beastmen’s country. Elira, being an elf, and Carina, being a beastman, stood out in this country, so we shopped in a light cloak of secrecy.
“Sophie, do you think I should bring them some souvenirs or something?”
“I think if there was something they wanted that would be in the royal capital, they would have bought it themselves. So I don’t think we need to buy them anything in particular.”
Father and others come to the royal capital once every few months, so it was concluded that there was no need to go out of their way to buy souvenirs.
”Would a few of the monsters in the magic ring be enough of a souvenir?”
“I think so. We have to think about the quantity and the monsters to give out, though.”
“True.”
The monsters we hunted in the deep forests are in my magic ring in large quantities without even being dismantled.
However, if I gave away dozens of high-ranked monsters, my parents, who know our personalities to some extent, might find out that we went to the deep forest without permission. We had to keep the number of monsters small enough to be able to claim that these were stray high-ranked monsters.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye as we did shopping and preparations for entering the beast country.
“We’re off then.”
“I’ll see you later.”
“We’ll be waiting for you.”
“Take care!”
We said goodbye for a while outside the capital.
“Take care, everyone.”
“Then let’s meet again at the meeting place, the Beast Kingdom. Teleport!”
Thus, Sophie and I returned to our home for the first time in a long time.
