Chapter Two: After Graduation

Three years had passed since Yui had left the O’Brian residence. She’d gotten used to living as a commoner, and after she’d advanced from elementary school to middle school, she had made new, close friends. She was, somehow or another, satisfied with her new life. A large part of that satisfaction was thanks to the indescribably delicious bread her grandfather baked. It wasn’t only bread; he made her all manner of pastries, confections, and treats, and Yui, who loved sweets more than anything else, was completely enthralled by the bakery’s delights. Although the leftovers were always lined up on the table every meal, the happiest time of the day for her was when she could eat her grandfather’s freshly baked bread at breakfast.

Another development that had occurred in the past three years was that Sherina had gotten engaged to a man named Layce. Yui was surprised to learn that he, too, wasn’t a commoner; he was a count—her mother had long said that she no longer wanted to have anything to do with nobles. Their engagement had been decided upon only recently, but Yui had spotted him near the bakery multiple times since she and Sherina had come to live with Yui’s grandparents. Initially, Yui had been suspicious of the man watching the bakery from afar, but apparently, after he’d heard that she’d gotten divorced and moved back in with her parents, he had come there to get to know her. He’d liked Sherina for some time and had just been too nervous to approach her. Only recently had he begun to enter the bakery and strike up conversations with her until at last his wish had been granted and they had gotten engaged. They would hold the wedding after Yui graduated from middle school.

Yui herself was currently preoccupied with choosing which school she would enter after graduation.

“Ugh...”

As she looked at the row of papers on the table in front of her, troubled, Sherina came over with a sympathetic smile on her face.

“Are you still hung up on this, Yui?”

“Mama, I just don’t know.”

Yui had gotten used to calling her mother “mama” over the past three years.

“That’s quite a few papers you’ve got there. Are they all invitations to schools you might go to?”

“Yeah.”

In Garlant, attending elementary and middle school was compulsory for all citizens, but there were various paths one could take after middle school. Many chose to begin working, but around half advanced to a more advanced school. Nearly everyone who continued their education attended a vocational school that offered classes specialized in their area of interest.

Yui had resolved to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps and continue running the bakery, planning to go to a school that specialized in bread making, but something unexpected had happened. Every middle school student in the country participated in a tournament consisting of one-on-one matches that tested the competitors’ abilities in magic and martial arts, and those that placed highly in that tournament obtained recommendations to attend one of the “three schools.
