“Drawing forth and manipulating mana is a delicate process. It’s supposedly best to ensure there are no boundaries between yourself and the world.” It sounded like clothes got in the way of drawing out the mana inside you.

“Does that mean it’s easier to cast magic when you’re naked?”

Blushing, the princess nodded her head. “Yes. B-But obviously that’s not suitable for fighting, so the solution was to remove the fabric around the area where mages focus the flow of their mana—the heart.” Apparently the circulation of mana around yourself wasn’t much different from the heart circulating blood. This was the foundation of mana manipulation. Without that mental image, it was a lot harder to control. Maybe the chest was exposed to make envisioning it just the tiniest bit faster.

“So it’s not to district curions by getting them to stare at your cleavage?”

“You’re the only curion that would work on.”

“You wound me, Princess. Even the most appealing breasts wouldn’t disarm me.”

“Should I be impressed or appalled?”

“You’re allowed to curse me for that one.”

“Then consider yourself cursed.”

“Whoops, already am.” The princess laughed, then looked a little down. After thinking for a moment, I whispered in her ear. “It really does look good on you. If I’m gonna be sent to Heaven, I want a holy woman like you to be the one to do it.” Being killed by a holy woman like her sounded satisfying. Of course, that came after I accomplished my goal.

“I-Is that supposed to be a compliment?” Covering her ear in surprise, the princess backed away from me, blushing from ear to ear.

“But of course.”

“Th-Then thank you... Your uniform looks good on you as well, my knight.”

I was back in the same old holy knight clothes. There were probably a few minor changes, but it felt pretty much the same. Holy knights had already been combatants three hundred years ago, so unless there was a glaring flaw, there wasn’t much to improve.

Just like the holy woman uniform, it had a white base with black and gold accents. The shirt underneath the jacket was black, and overall the uniform seemed to have more black than the holy woman one. The back of the mantle had a large crest representing the goddess that hadn’t been there three centuries ago. It had probably become standard when holy knights started fighting alongside holy women.

“I’m honored to receive your praise, Lady Astrantia.” I put a hand on my chest and bowed.

“Now, shall we be off?”

I exited the inn with the princess and we boarded our carriage.

Upon arriving at the academy gate, we followed the instructions of the person in charge. Apparently the entrance festival was going to be held outside, as we were guided to a wide-open space. The ground was bare, and there was enough room to comfortably fit a few hundred people. In fact, it was the same area where the practical exam had been conducted. Several lines had been drawn on the ground to divide it up for the exam, but those were all gone now.
