The eldest son of the Stagius Baron House, Kain Stagius looked at the young man on stage.

At the Adventurer introduced as Shion and was currently famous in the royal capital.

It seemed that he was someone known even among the lined up new students and guests, as the assembly hall was engulf in commotion together with his entry on stage.

Looking at it from the view of the commoner students that aspired to be Adventurers, he was literally what they aspired to be.

However, when it came to the sons and daughters of nobles, there were some somewhat complicated feelings.

Some of them thought of him as a commoner that simply got carried away, while others thought that he would become a noble before long due to the 「destiny of a noble」.

In any case, there were none in this Edius Adventurer school that did not know of Shion.

Famous Adventurers were targets of aspiration, and quick-witted stores had started selling Shion’s portrait.

Incidentally, Shion himself had learned of it and was at his wits’ end, and Nino secretly bought one.

「Shion, huh……」

For Kain himself, this was his first time seeing Shion.

However, just by seeing him, he could tell that he was a considerably strong Adventurer.

「Hey, Kain. Who do you think is stronger between that person and Basil-san?」

The one that said that and poked Kain with an elbow was his childhood friend Sharon.

Pure curiosity surfaced on the face of the girl that asked that while swinging her deep blue hair.

The one called Basil was Kain’s grandfather, as well as Kain’s teacher of the sword.

Basil’s sword, it was part of the St. Altlis Kingdom Chivalric Order Style, and was the so-called hard sword of the orthodox school.

「If it’s a contest of the sword, then Jii-chan is stronger.」

「H~n.」

Without noticing that Kain said that after limiting the conditions, Sharon nodded.

That’s right, if it was a contest of the sword, that would undoubtedly be true.

However, Shion was a Magician, and actually bringing him into close combat would be considerably difficult.

Cutting him down before he puts up Attack Guard.

If one were to do that, they would probably win.

However, that is just what one would think.

For example, if one were to actually fight against Shion, the young lady that stood in wait behind him would definitely get in the way.

Since her weapon was taken into custody right now, he couldn’t tell what her battle style was, but there was no mistake that she was a Maid Knight which boasted of high fighting strength.

However, Kain erased that thought. It was because he thought that even just getting close to Shion would be considerably difficult to accomplish in the first place.

「……Well, there’s no way we’d fight against that person.」

「I guess that’s true too. If anything, we’re in a position of going to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.」

「Gotta make sure we don’t drop out of class.」

While having that sort of frivolous talk, Kain gazed at Shion’s group leave the stage.

「Thank you very much for today! Ma~n, you really saved us……」

「No, it was no problem. More importantly, about the archives.」
