3. Everything’s Starting

I trudged through the academy with Safina and Tutte in tow. I dragged myself to the plaza where the carriage that would take me home was waiting, my legs heavy.

Ugh... Why did I have to lose my temper like that? I can’t lose after saying that... I sighed, thinking back to the events that took place less than an hour ago.

“But really, when you think about it, I knew you’d pull through, Lady Mary,” Safina said, her admiration showing clearly on her face as she walked beside me.

I stopped in my tracks and looked at her, confused. “What do you mean?” I wasn’t playing dumb—I sincerely didn’t know what she was talking about.

“I mean, when it was time to decide our teams, you immediately came up with the most inoffensive pairings!” she said, her eyes twinkling. “If the teams had been me and Lady Magiluka versus you and Sir Sacher, we’d have ended up fighting our respective class masters. The match could have ended up making relations between the Solos and Aleyios classes shaky.”

I didn’t think of that at all, but upon hearing her explanation, I realized that she was right.

“And to avoid that, you insisted that you and Lady Safina pair up,” Tutte said. “Impressive thinking, Lady Mary. And here I was, thinking you only picked Lady Safina so you could go tit for tat with Sir Sacher.”

My maid looked at me, impressed, as she stated the actual correct answer. Rendered speechless with guilt, I looked away from her.

“And besides, if we both win, we’d end up compromising the other two’s positions as class masters, so we can probably afford to lose this,” Safina said, continuing to put me up on a pedestal. “I’m sure everyone will understand why we lost a fight against a team of two class masters. You really thought of everything, Lady Mary.”

“That’s true.” Tutte nodded. “With two class masters forming a team, there won’t be any antagonism between the classes. And with their opponents being you—the fastest fencer in the academy—and Lady Mary, who everyone calls the White Princess and the Argent Knight, no one will claim this was an unfair fight. Good thinking on your behalf, Lady Mary.”

“And the way you snapped at Sir Sacher also makes it so it doesn’t seem like the two class masters chose to team up, allowing them to fight with all their strength,” Safina continued enthusiastically. “I can’t believe you were able to come up with a way to guide the conversation to such an ideal conclusion on the spot! Oh, Lady Mary, I’ll follow you through thick and thin!”

All that praise was painful to hear, since I hadn’t had any of that in mind. I could only look at the ground with the most stiff, awkward smile, trying to escape their fervent gazes of admiration.

“Oh, gosh... You both noticed all of that?” I murmured nervously. “Well, just keep it a secret from the other two, all right?”

Aaaah, am I really going along with this?!
