Eventually, Raid and Eluria found a staff member who told them that the other students who’d passed the exam were already waiting in their classrooms and guided the two of them to theirs.

“It’s Lady Eluria!” somebody called the moment they opened the door, triggering a wave of murmurs around the classroom. Just one step in, and Eluria was already surrounded by a wall of people.

“I saw the magic you used on the exam grounds, Lady Eluria!”

“We’ve heard much about you, but I never imagined you’d already be able to wield tenth-stratum magic. You truly are worthy of the Sage’s name!”

“Although I only caught a glimpse of it, the sight of that crimson pillar rising to the heavens was simply breathtaking! Such astounding talent already far surpassing many magicians! You inspire us all, Lady Eluria!”

Waves and waves of praise poured from the students’ lips. As for the recipient of those compliments... Well, Eluria was quite flustered, to say the least. Each time she tried to respond, yet another barrage of enthusiastic chatter would ram into her, and all she could do was frantically look left and right with her mouth agape.

Cornered like a little animal, she pointed her trembling finger toward her companion. “R-Raid is way cooler than me...!”

In a single unified motion, the students turned their heads toward him.

“Ohhh! I witnessed your astounding feat as well! You were able to offset Lady Eluria’s tenth-stratum magic; surely, you must be a great talent yourself!”

“As impudent as this may be, I’m afraid I haven’t had the honor of ever meeting or even hearing of you. Could I possibly ask for your name and household...?”

“Seeing as you are accompanying Lady Eluria, you must be an associate of House Caldwin! Moreover, you must have avoided public appearances in order to hide your true strength, just as Lady Eluria had!”

Faced with the students’ barrage of questions, Raid put on a pleasant smile. “First, I would like to thank everyone for such a warm and enthusiastic welcome. My name is Raid Freeden, and as you have said, I am to be considered an associate of House Caldwin.”

“Freeden... This is the first I have heard of that household. Are you from a foreign nation, by chance?”

“I’m afraid I must disappoint you, for I come from but an ordinary family of commoners,” Raid clarified. “Because of my pedigree, I am often faced with prejudice in my pursuit to study magic... But without even knowing my name, everyone here has graced me with such generous praise. The nobility and sincerity you embody has left me truly and deeply moved.”

“N-Not at all... It is only right for those with great ability to be given just praise!”

“Indeed... The esteemed Sage herself was seen for her great talents rather than her race. As students of the magical arts, we must carry ourselves magnanimously and see people for their true, rather than superficial, worth.”

Although some of their expressions had tensed when they heard he was a commoner, Raid’s thoroughly courteous demeanor helped him avoid any outright ire.
