/From Komachi's Perspective/
When was the turning point for me? It might have been the existence of that deviant who could also be called my benefactor.
What is a dream? I couldn't answer when asked.
"My dream is...not yet there."
Not there.
"If it's not there, then I'll have to find it," I began to think that way.
Tom said he was waiting above.
Perhaps I had a faint hope that he might be related to the school.
I will try to find my dream at this world-class academy.
Will I become an ordinary office worker, a research institute staff member, a government official, a dungeon-crawling adventurer, or a housewife?
I don't know.
I had never thought about dreams before.
So, I worked really hard.
I made a miracle happen in three months.
A learning aptitude value of 70 or higher and a magic aptitude value of 70 or higher were definitely overkill. I criticized myself many times for it.
I was originally good at studying, but I still wasn't sure if I could get in.
It was a close call. Luck was also a factor, I think.
Also, there were many things that were not even high school level!
Unfamiliar mathematical formulas, foreign languages with extremely long sentences that I couldn't understand, an IQ test-like thing that I had never seen before, and the interpretation and proof of unfamiliar magic circles, as well as demonstrations of basic magic that I had never seen before.
I thought the magic demonstrations were especially dangerous.
For me, who had no talent for magic, I couldn't even perform a single type of basic magic satisfactorily.
So I worked really hard.
I managed to learn just one basic magic spell, though it was clumsy, just in time for the entrance exam.
I worked hard every day without sleep. The gum that I chewed continuously to stay awake eventually turned me into a gum addict.
If I didn't chew it, I would fall asleep at any moment, and it made me feel restless.
Doctor, is there such a thing as a gum addiction treatment? No, there isn't. I see. I understand. I'll come back later.
I even developed a habit of talking to a fictional doctor in my mind.
Until the announcement of the results, it was a day of relying on divine intervention. The fictional doctor also cheered me on.
I visited the shrine many times. The fictional doctor also visited the shrine.
When I received the acceptance notice, I was so happy that I jumped for joy.

And finally, today, the day before the entrance ceremony, I moved into the dormitory.
In each of the 13 dormitories, a ceremony called the "entrance ceremony" is apparently held, which is a welcome party for students before the entrance ceremony.
In the dormitory I entered, the seniors introduced themselves and performed a prepared entertainment.
I was amazed by the vastness of this academy and the high quality of its students.
"Oh my..."
I let out a silly voice.
There are geniuses here. And among the geniuses, there are those who are even more exceptional.
Not only the world-renowned prestigious and noble families, royal families, but also people of all talents, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, have gathered here.
The nobles apparently have estates in Onogoro and do not live in the dormitories, but some of them showed up.
There are unpleasant people here too, but there are also people who treat me frankly regardless of my background.
All of them seemed to be extraordinary.
There were many people here who had strong powers and images of lions, which were rarely seen in the lower world where I came from.
They are truly carrying out the school motto, "The way is open to those who have talent."
Above all, the student council president, who is said to be the best in the history of the school, is said to come from an ordinary family.
Her charisma and magical talent are said to be unparalleled.
The student council president said, "It's a bit early, but congratulations on your enrollment!" and led the group.
She apparently went around all 13 dormitories. I thought she must be very busy.
The student council president of Mahoro Academy will surely become a central figure in the world in the future.
When the student council president finished her speech, I felt glad that I had really entered this school.
I felt that I too could have dreams and my heart jumped with the strange conviction that I would meet that pervert.
