“Yes, it’s amazing. That person’s a genius, rare to come by.”
“…Hmm.”
Raze agreed with him, but what Harrens wanted to say wasn’t about the person who made such an item but about her, who could easily take it out at this timing, being impressive.
“Ah. Since it can be used over a wide range, you don’t have to worry.”
Misunderstanding, Raze argued about its performance.
Harrens felt a hint of unease towards her.
“Considering the forbidden spell that stops time, it’s highly likely that it’s the work of the Empire. I can handle being targeted, but we must avoid any harm to His Highness and the others. Can’t you increase the number of reliable guards?”
“Understood. I’ll borrow knights from Gaius.”
“Knights…?”
Raze couldn’t refuse because she wasn’t good with knights. She obediently followed Harrens’s decision.
“But, by doing this, if something happens, it won’t be solely my responsibility!”
It’s not scary if everyone goes together.
Since she didn’t know what would happen with Carne’s disaster event, dealing with it alone was too risky.
It would be best to explain the situation to Ruben and have him and the others surround Carne, but it would depend on Carne.
“Director.”
“What’s wrong?”
Called “Director,” Harrens faced Raze, a student.
“Um, I know it’s presumptuous of me to say this, but if possible, could you minimize your intervention so that Carne-sama and His Highness can have a natural school life? “
Harrens was amazed at those words.
Even though she was just a student, wasn’t she tired of worrying about things that adults could handle?
“I understand. That’s why you were granted permission to enroll. This must also be a trial given by the heavens. I’m sure they’ll overcome it.”
“Yes.”
Raze nodded firmly.
“If you’re okay, go and see your friends. It’s dangerous to have them here after you were targeted and fell. Luckily, Tenice is an illusionist and you’re also a user of teleportation magic. It will be seen as if there was an invisible battle. You received minor injuries to your abdomen and were brought here, so act accordingly.”
“Yes. …I’m sorry for the trouble.”
“Don’t worry about it. To avoid confusion and to mislead the enemy, the Battle Festa will continue. You’ll have to do your best.”
“Understood.”
Harrens left the room.
Raze changed her clothes and said goodbye to the head nurse before leaving the infirmary.
Normally, even if healing magic is cast, the body and mind don’t match, and you often can’t move right away. However, Raze had recovered as if she had never been injured in a matter of minutes.
Head Nurse Meril-Yun-Feril stared at the door where Raze had left.
Could it be that this girl, whose adaptation of body and mind was so fast, had been injured because she adapted so quickly…?
No, she was probably overthinking it—
Feril shook her head.
“It’s a good thing she didn’t take those clothes…”
As Merill suspected, Raze Shes Orphan, who was injured twice as much as normal, was operating as usual without realizing it.
(The person Alisa punched was the same soldier currently detained in Baluda.)
Her thoughts were already shifting from her own injuries to the mission at hand.
If that alluring woman was a sorcerer, she must be captured at all costs.
(Tenace-senpai’s memory loss seems to have started around the end of the break. His family was definitely in the capital. If that’s the case, the situation is serious.)
Raze’s face darkened. This matter would likely reach the ears of Welrein soon.
There were plenty of talented individuals in the military for search operations. An urgent mission would be issued outside.
If the imperial influence reached Cyan’s capital, her subordinates would likely be mobilized as well.
The empire was up to no good again.
Right now, she needed to be wary of the presence of imperial individuals in this venue…
As she hurried to her post, she passed by Addis.
She wondered why he was walking around here, but she ignored it and continued running. This wasn’t Raze’s jurisdiction.
“Huh?”

He gave her a double take with a face that seemed to see something unbelievable.
Before she could run off as if nothing had happened, Addis instinctively grabbed her arm.
“Whoa!”
She let out an uncharacteristically un-girly voice as her body leaned backward. Addis caught her.
“Hey, what is it? “
“What… what are you doing here? Aren’t you injured?”
‘Is he suspecting I’ve escaped?’ His gaze seemed to say, causing Raze, who felt offended, to turn around and lift her shirt.
“I’m completely healed, so I’m fine.”
“What are you doing?!”
Addis was taken aback as he saw Raze’s exposed belly and quickly lowered her shirt.
“It’s just a scratch, so don’t worry. Oh, congratulations on making it to the second round. Your opponent was a third-year, so that’s impressive. I lost in the first round since I became combat ineffective.”
She laughed.
Important people should humble themselves and uplift others.
Hearing Raze’s words, Addis pushed her against the wall.
“Um, um… Lord Zarth?”
With her expression hidden behind her flowing silver hair, Raze panicked.
Without saying anything, Addis seized her, and Raze’s breathing stopped with a whoosh.
“………… What are you doing, losing to someone other than me? “
Addis had a lot to say, but he said what he held most strongly.
Raze’s breathing stops with a gasp as he sees a beautiful face close to him.
His perfect face, so close, didn’t have a smile.
(He’s angry. He’s angry, the son of His Excellency! And he’s close!)

With silver eyes piercing through her, she froze stiff.
Her arm, still held, hurt, and his gaze was frightening. She wanted to escape from here immediately.
“S-Sorry—”
Before she could apologize, he used one hand to cup her cheek.
“You’re not really planning to apologize, are you?”
“…!”
She thought he looked pretty bad right now.
Raze sent a “let go” signal with her eyes, and Addis exhaled loudly.
“Haah… You really aren’t cute at all.”
“I’m well aware of that. You’re blessed with many beautiful girls who support you, so I’m envious.”
Since she was released from his grip, Raze quickly slipped away and walked towards the venue.
Addis watched her retreating figure, his eyes momentarily serious, but he quickly returned to his usual expression and followed her.
Raze had noticed he was following, but she thought it would be defeat if she minded, so she returned to the stands without a word.
“Raze-chan!”
“Raze!”
As soon as she reached the stands, Folia and Carne rushed over.
“Are you okay now?”
“I’m fine. It was just a scratch. Sorry for losing even though you were cheering for me.”
“Don’t worry about it! I’ll do my best for you too!”
Folia made a double-handed victory sign. It was overly cute, but forgivable.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. If anything seems wrong, tell the referee immediately. Good luck!”
“Yeah!”
As long as there were no forbidden techniques, this area was Raze’s defense zone.
She would definitely eliminate any danger to the students.
“Raze…”
Carne tugged at her sleeve, and when Raze looked over, she saw Carne’s face on the verge of tears.
“Um, is it because of the game’s coercive power that you…?”
Raze was taken aback.
It was difficult to determine if the term “coercive power” was accurate, but it was almost certain that there was something that wanted to advance the story according to the scenario.
“I just lost the match, that’s all.”
“But, I heard it. The teacher who was the referee said that if your wound had been a little off, you’d be dead!”
What a situation…
She wants to complain and tell the organizers to get it together, but right now, she needs to prioritize reassuring her.
Raze has been attracting attention from both Ruben and surprisingly, Addis, since earlier.
Even though it’s in Japanese, it’s clear that Carne is very worried, so Raze needs to calm her down.
“That’s an exaggeration. It’s not that serious. If it were such a deep wound, I wouldn’t have recovered this quickly.”
“But the teacher said so, didn’t they?”
“Then, do you want to see it?”
Once again, Raze lifts her clothes to reassure Carne that there’s no injury.
Meanwhile, the men behind them are taken aback, and Addis notices that Addis has his hand on his forehead.
“See? Everything’s fine.”
She smiles to ease Carne’s worries, but unexpectedly, Carne starts shedding tears.
“U-uh, Carne-sama?!”
