"Ah, something seems to have happened, but first of all, I'm glad you came."

Guren greeted them with a complex expression, as if he was suppressing various emotions like confusion and anxiety.

In response, the two men sitting on the sofa, both dressed in white robes, smiled and nodded.

"No, it's an honor for me. To meet the great magician, Lord Guren, is truly a privilege! I am Arabata Domek, Deputy Commander of the Mapleleaf Holy Empire's Royal Guard! I look forward to working with you!"

The large man named Arabata, who looked like a statue of a talisman with his face, bowed deeply. His ears and tail were fluffy and seemed very pleasant to touch.

After Arabata finished his greeting, the man with light green hair, Crown, who was sitting next to him, spoke.

"I am Crown Windsor, a member of the Mapleleaf Holy Empire's Court of Magicians. This visit is by imperial decree, but even without that, I am eager to thoroughly tour the renowned Fidic Academy and discuss magic with you, Lord Guren."

Crown greeted with a gleam in his eyes, almost a predatory look. Guren, slightly taken aback, gave a wry smile.

"Haha... No, no, I don't have much magic to show a court magician from the great magic nation of the Mapleleaf Holy Empire. Rather, I would very much like to see the magic of the renowned Lord Crown..."

Guren tried to flatter and gently decline. Given Crown's personality, this indirect approach might be hard to convey, but how about Arabata?

As I stood watching the three of them face each other, Arabata glanced at me.

"Please don't be modest, Lord Guren. I've heard that our country's proud magician, Four Perno Roses, lost a magic duel to Miss Aoiko Minato. Four is known as one of the top magicians in our country, on par with the head of the court magicians. Our country's magicians are in an uproar."

He laughed but gave off a probing aura. This was about the future of Four, who had lost to a newcomer, and also about probing my own abilities.

Seeming to understand this, Guren laughed awkwardly.

"Haha... No, no, there was no official duel. It's just that Four, as a senior instructor, had a solid reputation and pride, and he had doubts about Aoiko's abilities when he was suddenly appointed as a senior instructor. However, as he observed Aoiko's lectures, he naturally came to recognize Aoiko's abilities. I think it's a wonderful thing."

"I see. So, Lord Aoiko is at least as skilled as Four, if not more. I would very much like to see that skill."

Arabata nodded, seemingly convinced. His tone was gentle, but there was a pressure that made it clear he wouldn't back down.

Guren seemed to sense this and nodded exaggeratedly, palm up, pointing at me.

"No, that's true. I understand your feelings. However, Aoiko is still a newcomer. It would be nerve-wracking for him to demonstrate magic in front of important figures from another country like Lord Arabata and Lord Crown. For now, let's have a meal together..."

Guren started making various excuses, but Arabata raised an eyebrow and tilted his head.

"Hmm? Is that so? When we met earlier, he seemed very impressive. When Crown tried to show ice magic in the city, Aoiko demonstrated a splendid ice magic and shattered it."

"Ice magic...!? Aoiko's ice magic...?"

Arabata's words made Guren suddenly turn his attention to me. I sighed at Guren's intense gaze and reluctantly spoke.

"...I don't mind showing my magic. However, I would like Lord Crown to demonstrate his magic as well. Additionally, I would like to learn about the latest and ongoing research in magic from the Mapleleaf Holy Empire."

Arabata frowned at my response.

"...I would like you to wait. The information you mentioned is a matter of national importance. It's not something to be easily discussed..."

"Is that fine!? Of course, I don't mind! I will answer any questions!"

Before Arabata could give a negative response, Crown's enthusiastic voice overlapped. Arabata's face contorted in frustration.

"Wait, Crown! You can't just decide such important matters so easily!"

"Where should we show it? There was a good place earlier, but is there one within the academy? I would also like to see Lord Guren's magic if possible!"

"Wait! Both of you, let's pretend we didn't hear those words...! Let's discuss this for a moment..."

Crown, leaning forward and looking at me and Guren, and Arabata, standing up in a state of great anxiety.

Seeing this, I understood why Crown was called a magic enthusiast.

However, his appearance was so similar to Owen and Guren when they saw new magic that I couldn't help but feel a connection to Crown.
