“That’s strange. Usually, the person with the top entrance exam score gives the representative address…”
“Well, well…”
I, who had somehow managed to get the top score on the entrance exam.
However, luckily, I was spared from giving the representative address.
This year’s representative is the Hero-sama.
Everyone in the country must have thought that the Hero-sama would be the top scorer, but surprisingly, he was second.
Perhaps there was a debate about whether it was okay to change the tradition of the top scorer giving the address, which had never been changed since the academy’s founding.
However, it seems that it was decided from the beginning who would give the representative address.
Today is just the announcement of the results, distribution of materials, and selection of majors, so it will be over by noon.
After the headmaster’s long speech ended, I was about to return to the inn.
That’s when a familiar person called out to me.
“Cain!”
“Ah, Enema!?”
“Cain, it’s been a while. I believed you would pass.”
“Enema, it’s been a while. Are you enjoying the academy?”
“Yeah, it’s fun. More importantly, Cain…”
Since we had a lot to catch up on, we decided to talk at the inn.
…
…
…
It seems that Enema was also enjoying her classes with her friends.
“Cain… you know, I want to become a teacher. I’ve seen various teachers at this academy. They’re all strong and cool… I want to be like that too. What do I need to do to become one?”
“Not many students who graduate from the academy become teachers. First, you have to graduate from Eldina Academy with top grades.”
We got carried away with our conversation for five hours. Before we knew it, it was midnight.
“That’s right, I have to go back to my hometown (Zargadriz) tomorrow.”
“I see… then, when you come to the academy, come to me first!”
“Okay, see you next week then.”
With that, I parted ways with Enema.
The next day, Gald surprisingly came to see me off.
“K-Cain-san! The woman you brought to the inn yesterday was Enema-san, a senior student, right!?”
“Oh, you know a lot. That’s right.”
“How did you two become friends!? She’s known as a flower on a high peak and is targeted by all the guys in the academy, but she’s famous for not dating anyone…”
Enema was like that…
“No, she was a friend from my hometown.”
“I see… so you’re going to play dumb to the end…”
“I’m not lying, though?”
“You don’t have to hide it. You went into the inn last night, and you came out five hours later! You’re both young and seem to have a lot of stamina, but that’s still… well, how should I put it… I’m rooting for you.”
He was completely mistaken, so I gave him a low kick.
There are still many students at the academy who mistake Cain for a boy.
However, in these three years, Cain’s hair has grown longer, and more people have come to realize that she is a girl.
She herself had a complex about being raised by her parents to be boyish.
Cain seems to want to wear girly clothes too.
