Our research proceeded at a rapid pace.

I felt like my health was being ripped apart, but I didn’t really care.

Compared to paying the price of health, it felt like the benefit was greater.

I was only making magic tools, but I am learning many things.

There were a lot of obstacles as I added the staff’s characteristics to the gloves and added other abilities.

As I broke through the blockages like that, my knowledge increased.

From various magical knowledge to knowledge related to magic tools.

It was extensive magical knowledge.

A few weeks of research.

Gradually, the outlines were established.

“Ugh… … .”

Gracie made a groaning groan of tiredness and fell to her desk.

I gave Gracie a cup of coffee and smiled.

“Don’t take it easy. Academic presentations are just around the corner.”

Then, Gracie got up with a sad expression on her face.

“How could that be! I’m doing my best! Not even sleeping properly! I don’t even drink!”

“Yes Yes. You are doing so well.”

“Well, then, let me rest. Two days… … no. even for a day… … .”

Gracie said to me with a sad face.

However, I answered firmly.

“no. Please keep doing what you are doing.”

“aah… … . I’m a professor… … why… … why… … .”

Gracie wept and fell back on her desk.

Now, this situation has been repeated several times, so I have gotten used to it to some extent.

I know very well that I will get back to work after murmuring like that for 10 minutes.

I lay face down and looked at the clock, ignoring Gracie’s sobbing.

“Luna is late… … .”

Luna was currently working in our lab and at Maguire’s lab at the same time.

So I was more worried about Luna than Gracie.

I heard that the lab work has increased since Maguire returned from the conference.

In such a state, it can only be said that doing the work of our laboratory is demonstrating superhuman power.

“Hmm… … .”

I pondered and came to a conclusion.

“Is it time to use Khun? … .”

It was for this reason that I brought Khun to the student council at the beginning of the semester.

Kuhn can use both alchemy and magic.

It could be said that it was an ability that was optimized for magic tools.

Right now, Kuhn is still a freshman, and I have time to spare, so I entrusted all the magic tools-related tasks to Kuhn, but when I was in my third year, I was thinking of entrusting it to Kuhn.

Using alchemy and magic together was an ability that was optimized for magic tools.

I wondered if I was using the student council people too much, but I thought it didn’t matter.

Because it was the kind of reward that paid for the hard work.

Then the door to the lab opened.

“ha… … ha… … Rudy! sorry! There’s something the professor made you do!”

“Oh, is Luna here?”

Luna was exhaling hard, perhaps because she ran in a hurry, and her head was in a mess.

“Luna, would you like to sit here for a while?”

“yes?”

Luna sat in front of me with a puzzled face.

As they sat facing each other, dark circles appeared on Luna’s face.

Seeing that made my choice even more solid.

“Luna, I think you better go into research now.”

“uh?”

Luna looked at me with a surprised face.

and waved his hands.

“Oh, no! I can do it. A little more sleep… … !”

“Now, Luna must prepare her work. There is also a joint evaluation for 1st and 2nd graders, so there is no need for personal training.”

“Yeah, but what I was doing… … .”

“Oh, can you hand over that to Kuhn?”

“Kun? Do you think Kuhn will participate in the research?”

“I haven’t said it yet, but I think I will.”

When I said that, Luna put on a sullen expression.

“It’s not because you’re not good enough. Without Luna, the research would not have progressed properly. I’m just worried about you.”

“Once I get it… … .”

Luna was not stubborn.

Luna herself knows that she has slowly reached her limit.

However, it seemed a pity that we couldn’t be together until the end.

“I’ll leave the research to the end. It’s almost like a finished study.”

“yes… … thank you.”

Luna left the lab so dead.

***

Luna left the lab and sat down on the bench.

It was a long break.

But I didn’t feel very well.

In my head, Rudy’s choice made sense.

Luna’s physical condition was not normal.

I thought I might collapse if I continued my research.

Still, I wanted to help Rudy, so I wanted to continue my research.

“Nope… … If I fall, I’d rather be a nuisance to Rudy… … .”

If he falls, he’s a hindrance to Rudy.

Due to Rudy’s personality, if the people around him collapse, he cannot concentrate on his work.

Luna was well aware of that.

“Then what can I do now? … .”

Luna looked up at the sky.

As autumn approached, the blue sky was impressive.

Slowly, it felt like summer vacation was coming to an end.

“After summer break… … .”

As Rudy just said, the joint evaluation for 1st and 2nd graders is approaching.

After that, many things await.

There will be things to fight, and there will be more things to research like now.

“then… … .”

Luna looked at the bag containing the magic book.

The ability of the magic book was very good, but the person who used this ability was too short.

It can use various abilities, but its power is insufficient.

In the last fight with the monster, there was nothing he could do except watch.

‘For Rudy.’

Luna thought.

Luna had many ideas while making Rudy’s gloves.

As I studied gloves, my understanding of Rudy’s abilities increased, and I also learned about Rudy’s shortcomings.

Luna muttered softly.

“defense.”

It was Rudy’s greatest weakness.

Luna nodded and decided.

Decide what skills you need to develop.

As I was making that promise, I yawned.

She shed tears and opened her mouth wide.

“First… … I need to sleep… … .”

Luna smiled to herself and walked to the room.

Riberion Academy Principal’s Office.

Cromwell was sitting at the desk.

Cromwell was reading the papers with his glasses on.

Although McDowell’s health improved to some extent, Cromwell was still acting as the principal.

Cromwell, who was reading the document like that, looked at one of the documents and sighed.

“Who should be in charge? … .”

It was about the upcoming joint evaluation of the first and second graders.

Should I just leave it to Gracie?

After thinking about it, he immediately shook his head.

Although Gracie had the ability to do the job she was entrusted with, she still lacked experience as a professor.

Joint evaluation is arguably the most important event of the Academy.

Both 1st and 2nd graders participate, and numerous teaching assistants and professors participate.

I couldn’t leave that to Gracie.

The best ones were Robert and Maguire.

However, Robert seems too busy these days.

I wanted to do something while on vacation, but I couldn’t ask because it kept disappearing somewhere.

“Should I leave it to Maguire? … .”

Maguire looked busy as well, but was more relaxed than the others.

“Hmm… … .”

Cromwell pondered for a moment, then roughly scribbled out Maguire’s name with a pen.

“Maguire is an experienced professor, so he’ll take care of it.”

smart-

As I wrote Maguire’s name on the paper, a knock rang in the principal’s office.

“listen… … .”

Bump. The door opened before Cromwell finished speaking.

“Is there Cromwell?”

It was Maguire.

Cromwell took off his glasses.

“It’s good to be here. I was still processing documents related to you.”

“Related to me? Is there anything worth doing?”

“Oh, it looks like it now.”

“… … Are you going to hand over to me and Robert again?”

Cromwell left most of the work to Robert and Maguire while serving as principal.

Cromwell, who is close to perfectionism, couldn’t stand the sight of other professors at work.

So I turned all the work to my trusted friends.

“But, not this time.”

Maguire walked in front of Cromwell.

Then he handed over a document to Cromwell.

“… … What’s this?”

“My business trip papers.”

“… … What?”

Cromwell’s eyes widened.

“I think my research results at the conference I went to this vacation were impressive. Do you think I will have to go on a business trip by the beginning of the second semester?”

Cromwell read the papers Maguire had given him.

It was an official document issued by the academy.

“… … This seal.”

“Uh, it’s a document passed by the Emperor. I wanted to say no… … If the Emperor calls I can’t help it.”

Maguire said with a smirk.

It was never a dislike.

Entering into the research of the society is given tremendous support, and the research representative finds a very comfortable situation.

Excellent imperial magicians were attached to it, and the funds were close to infinity.

It was a different level of research from the research conducted with teaching assistants at the academy.

So I couldn’t hate it.

Cromwell squeezed his forehead as if in pain.

Seeing this, Maguire narrowed his eyes.

“… … Have you ever tried to entrust me with joint training?”

“… … .”

Cromwell avoided Maguire’s gaze.

“hey! Are you going to entrust that to a friend? Knowing how much of a high school student that is!”

“Then leave it to someone. Robert looks busy too.”

Then Maguire laughed.

“You can do it.”

“… … what? I did it last year too. And I am no longer a professor, but a vice principal.”

“Because there is no one there. So what do you do? You have to do it yourself.”

Maguire said teasingly at Cromwell.

“No, I… … .”

“I think I’m good too.”

“… … Well?”

Then a voice was heard from the door.

In front of them stood Robert and McDowell.

“principal? Are you okay?”

Cromwell jumped up from his seat and opened his eyes.

“Now my health is fine. You should come back soon.”

McDowell said with a smile.

“That’s how the joint practice will be handled by Vice Principal Cromwell.”

“… … yes?”

Cromwell looked at McDowell in surprise.

“Heh heh, there are no talented people like you in the academy. I’d like to ask you a favor.”

“Ha, but… … Former assistant principal… … .”

“During the joint practice, I will even serve as the assistant principal. Let me take over your research and joint practice.”

Cromwell looked at McDowell with a puzzled expression.

“I heard that there are many prospects for this first and second year, wouldn’t it be better to have a good professor to get a good evaluation? chuckle”

“Well, yes, but… … .”

McDowell smiled and placed his left hand on Cromwell’s shoulder.

“I beg you.”

Cromwell was a cool and rational person, but when the headmaster asked him to do this, he couldn’t refuse.

“egg… … I will.”

“Feel free.”

“ね.”

At that sight, Robert and Maguire smiled happily.
