"I'm getting ready," I said.
"Tent, check! Sleeping bag, check! Toothbrush set, check!"
I've already had all the base tent equipment shipped, and I also bought a large tent that can accommodate multiple people.
I'm going to move to that floating city now.
For some reason, I couldn't move into the dormitory.
I inquired with the school after that, but it was impossible.
Originally, there seemed to be preparations for transfer/entrance students, but advance application was required.
"This is why I hate bureaucratic work! What a joke!"
I reluctantly, or rather seriously reluctantly, had no choice but to live in the yard of that hopeless elf's rental house.
I couldn't even afford to rent a house in Onogoro.
The rent was too high.
So I'll set up a base and live there.
I refuse to live with that drunken elf.
It's less than a week until the start of school. I don't need to go near that elf's house until about three days before school starts.
If I set up the base in one day and have two more days to spare, I'll be fine.
Since I'm transferring in from my second year, I don't have an obligation to attend the entrance ceremony.
In fact, only a limited number of student council members and other positions participate in the entrance ceremony for new students.
The only event on the first day of school is the entrance ceremony.
The next day, there will be a tutorial for mock battles where upperclassmen compete to welcome new students.
In other words, I will finally attend school on that day.
And the protagonist should also be attending.
It's still a mystery where he is and what he's doing.
I'm starting to worry about the protagonist Kazane's consciousness.
I hadn't even thought about the protagonist's consciousness before.
"Careless mistake"
The player was making a choice, but he was being manipulated by someone.
In this real world, what kind of existence has he become?
"He might have become an extremely quiet monk."
Although he was set up as a person of integrity, there is still a possibility that he has become a lawless person.
My head is starting to hurt.
No, I have no choice but to bet on fate.
"I mean, this is just a mock battle. I can just lose to the protagonist."
This mock battle consists of individual battles for two days and party battles for two days.
On the first day, each team will reduce their numbers, and the final battle will be held on the second day.
This is a survival battle for upperclassmen, excluding the student council, but the winners in the story are supposed to be the named characters.
In the game, this is the tutorial.
The player will learn the basic operations through the mock battle.
Then, the protagonist clears the tutorial by defeating me, Amachi.
After that, I become a lackey.
Whether the protagonist wins the mock battle or not depends on the player's skill.
Moreover, since we haven't trained in the early stages, we should lose in the basic defeat event.
Some super skilled players may win, but there should be no particular reward.
It's a pretty meaningless event.
To be honest, I'm stronger than the early protagonist, so I need to practice losing performance.
"I'll show you my graceful losing technique."

I finally took a breath at the airport terminal.
I had more trouble with the entrance inspection than during the last transfer exam.
There were a lot of Mahoro's new students and their related parties, so it was probably related to that.
It seemed like the VIP new students and their relatives were given priority to pass from a back entrance, causing the inspection time for general entry to take more than twice as long as expected.
Mahoro Academy is set up as a world-class magic academy.
There are nobles and children of large corporations from all over the world.
There are a lot of important people around.
This floating city boasts the world's best security.
In the first place, from the perspective of other countries, it is like having a huge fortress that has already taken control of the airspace.
It is difficult to invade this land that is cut off from both land and sea.
Even in the case of war, the advantage is too high.
In addition, it is difficult for criminal organizations to enter illegally because of the strict entrance inspection...this is also a setting.
Above all, Mahoro Academy, located in the center of this land, has many of the world's top magicians...this is also a setting.
There are only four major blocks in Onogoro.
- Mahoro Academy premises
- Commercial and tourist districts, such as profit-making areas
- Villa area (residential area)
- Non-populated area
The Mahoro Academy premises, needless to say, are the main stage of the story.
There are also many academic institutions such as research institutions in this area.
The profit-making district is a district where commercial facilities approved by the government are lined up.
Basically, this is the place where you buy the food, goods, and necessities you need, as well as a tourist area where you can earn foreign currency.
There are many shops available for ordinary people, but there are also stores that deal with incredibly expensive things.
This is the smallest district in terms of area.
The residential area, also known as the villa district, is a heavenly place where wealthy people from all over the world reside.
As a side note, the rent for a rented house is too high, and the land and box are too expensive to build a house.
There are also regulations that prohibit the construction of residential buildings above the third floor from the perspective of landscape protection.
The non-residential area is the largest area where dungeons are scattered, protected as a natural park, and used for agriculture and livestock.
The Mahoro Academy's jurisdiction also includes facilities in this area.
As I pondered these things, I waited for that elf at the airport terminal.
"Hey, over here! I was worried because you were late,"
said Ms. Moridori, running over and waving his hand.
