Chapter Three

After returning to Palmare, Raid and Eluria’s days were peaceful, bereft of any unexpected attacks or major incidents, but the clock was ticking nonetheless. Now, only one week remained until the integrated exam—until the day their “war” would begin. Many things needed to be done by then, but...

“Hey... You two.”

Raid looked up. “Yes, Headmaster?”

“Is there a problem?” Eluria asked.

The elf glared at the two. “Why are you lazing around in my office?”

“Because we’re bored,” they answered plainly.

Indeed, there was much to be done, but currently Raid and Eluria were seated comfortably on the couch in Elise’s office. Eluria held a plate with a slice of cake in her hands, while Raid was leisurely looking through some documents.

“Raid, this cake is good.”

“Really? Could I have a bite?”

“Mm-hmm... Here. Say ‘ahh.’”

Raid chewed and swallowed, savoring the lingering sweetness in his mouth. “Oh... The orange’s sourness and sweetness strike a good balance. The flavor spread through my mouth the moment it touched my tongue, and the syrup-glazed sponge has a very subtle bitter aftertaste that really highlights the flavor. Overall, it’s quite refreshing.”

“Your comments are impeccable,” Eluria mused.

“I was often invited to high-end dinner parties back when I was a general. They were always looking for reasons to mock me for being a commoner, so I made sure I was eloquent enough to knock their socks off.”

“I usually just say ‘yummy’...” Eluria mumbled.

“Well, that’s not a bad thing. Tiana would probably be over the moon for even that much.”

“Mm-hmm. She always looked happy watching me eat.”

“Oh, for the love of... You’re flirting right in my face? Really?” Elise slammed her hands on her desk. “Why are you even hanging around my office?!”

“’Cause this is where all the intel comes,” Raid replied.

“And I can order yummy food,” Eluria added.

“Well, yeah! Because I’m the headmaster of Vegalta’s magic institute! The personnel here are really accommodating, and unlike back at home, nobody says ‘Elise, want some candy?’ or ‘Wow, you’re working so hard!’ or whatever, and I’m honestly really happy about that!”

Elise was practically treated like a child back at the Vegalta Royal Institute, mostly on account of her outward appearance. To other institutes, however, she held the highest authority at the institution situated in the very birthplace of magic. It seemed she was finally receiving some just treatment here.

“Anyway, the institute’s chef prepared that cake for me!” Elise exclaimed.

Raid raised a brow. “Why not just ask for another one, childish old man?”

Eluria pouted. “There’s nothing wrong with a little girl wanting cake, but if I think about it as my dad throwing a tantrum over some sweets, well... I’m not sure how to feel anymore.”

“Stop it! I feel like you’ve been making me out to be some weirdo ever since I revealed my identity! I just have Wallus’s memories, that’s all! I’m still just an ordinary female elf!” Frustrated, Elise slammed her table once more, almost in tears. Such a young girl, yet already she faces such complex circumstances. It seemed being treated like a man was a bridge too far for her.
