Saria and I were finally at the same height as she pointed her haggard eyes towards me.

“Now, allow me to introduce myself once more. I’m Saria Lulumitt. I’m the master of this Clock Tower Laboratory.”

“I’m Callus Leyd from Class 1-A.”

“Ah, a freshman, I see. Then you’re a grade below me. I’m from Class 2-A.”

“Um, I’m a bit curious, but aren’t you younger than me, Saria? Or are you from a species that ages slowly?”

This world was filled with nonhuman species including elves, dwarves, lizardmen, and beastfolk. Saria looked to be a human like me at first glance, but there was a good chance that she was from a different species, which would have explained the disparity between her age and appearance. Elves, in particular, lived a lot longer than humans.

“Nope. I’m an honest-to-goodness ordinary human,” she replied.

“Wait, really? Then why are you in your second year while you—pardon my rudeness—look so small?” I asked.

“It’s a long story, but I suppose I’ve got the time. It’ll be my way of thanking you for going out of your way to come here.”

She poured herself some coffee out of a shady-looking device. The alcohol lamp boiled some water in a round glass container, and the hot water rose up a glass tube into a different glass vessel on top. It mixed with the powdered coffee and slowly changed color. I didn’t think you could make coffee like that.

“Here, have a drink. There aren’t any odd chemicals in here. You’ve got nothing to fear,” she said.

She poured the coffee into a flask and put it in front of me. Had she put it in a mug, it would’ve looked more normal, but now it felt like I was just drinking some kind of experimental drug.

“R-Right. Thank you,” I said. I was a bit reluctant at first, but I gulped it down. “Oh, this is delicious.”

“It is, isn’t it? I can’t cook, but I’m picky when it comes to coffee,” Saria replied.

The drink looked awful, but the taste was superb. It had a deep richness combined with gentle, mellow notes. Still looks so weird, though.

“Now, where shall I start? Perhaps from four years ago, when I first entered this academy,” she said.

“F-Four years ago?!” I sputtered. Coffee went everywhere.

“That’s right. It’s not three or five years, but four.”

“But aren’t you in your second year? The numbers don’t add up!”

“That’s simple,” Saria replied, looking proud. “I’ve been in the same grade thrice already.”

“I don’t get it anymore.”

This small girl, who was supposedly an upperclassman, had repeated a year not once, but twice. I couldn’t keep up with this. Since she’d entered four years ago, she should be nineteen, but she looked about ten years younger than that.

“Wait, you can repeat the year while maintaining your Class A status? I heard that you’d be dropped to Class B if you can’t pass the periodic screenings,” I said.

“Ah, well, that’s because I’ve passed those screenings. But each time, I refuse to move up a grade. When I first made this request, the instructor’s face was a work of art.
