Chapter 1: A Special Warm-up Match

A few days had passed since the incident where I’d made a complete fool of myself and hit Captain Ernest on the head with my shoe. As soon as I’d realized what I’d done, I’d given up on everything. I thought it was time to meet my maker, but somehow I made it out alive without even facing much in the way of punishment. That didn’t stop me from having recurring nightmares, though.

“Announcement! Noelle Springfield, you’re fired!”

“Noooo!”

Now that I was getting a meager eight hours of decent sleep each night, I’d begun trying to soothe my nerves by carrying around the transport whistle the dragon gave me. All it would take was one blow of that little silver whistle to solve everything.

“Announcement! Noelle Springfield, you’re fired!”

“Dragon, come to me!”

“Oh no! This is a disaster!”

“Dragon-Please-Throw-the-Fight Magic Puuuunch!”

“Noelle, you drove away the dragon!”

“You saved the kingdom!”

That was my incredibly smart and sophisticated strategy for avoiding dismissal. But of course, it was a last resort. After the dragon had been so kind as to give me this precious whistle, I wanted to avoid summoning it merely for my own protection. For one thing, I would feel bad about getting the dragon to act as a villain when it had done nothing wrong.

With that in mind, in my great wisdom I had begun work on an alternative method to avoid getting fired. That plan was Operation: Kick Butt at the World Magic Championships to Prove I’m Useful to the Royal Court Magicians’ Division!

Some of the most advanced nations in the world of magic would be participating in the tournament. Of course, there was the Holy Empire of Vellmar, but then there were also the likes of the Magedom of Liesvania and the Duchy of Brandard. They would be tough competition, but that made me even more confident that progressing through the tournament would send my reputation through the roof.

I didn’t have experience in formal one-on-one magic duels, but I’d dueled with Captain Gawain, and I’d faced the master swordsman Eric Rashford at the Royal Invitational Tournament. Since I’d been chosen as a national representative, the people making the decisions must have thought I was strong enough for this challenge. For that matter, maybe I would even do better than Luke or Lieutenant Ryan, and people would see me as the kingdom’s greatest talent!

“Wow, Noelle. You’re even more of a genius than Luke!”

“Heh heh.”

I smiled as I envisioned a future where everyone piled praise on me. I’d had my share of serious incidents since joining the royal court magicians’ division, but I felt like I’d done a pretty decent job. Could it be that I was actually good at this?

I was basking in my dreamy mood when I turned up to the first day of training. The three national representatives were going to face each other one at a time in practice duels.

I chuckled to myself as I approached Luke. Prepare to experience my incredible power, now that I’ve built
