"Well... speaking of which, Fir, it seems like you already know what has been happening in the academy, right?"

As I handed over the report, the other party took a quick glance and tossed it aside.

Seriously, I spent at least 30 seconds writing it, and they're just brushing it off like that. Truly worthy of being called Mary sensei.

"I guess... how did you figure it out?"

"Because there's a slash on the edge of your wizard robe, and this outfit is the new design for this term. You were definitely attacked after coming back..."

"Are you reading detective novels lately, sensei?"

To think that even this detail was noticed... speaking of which, those three guys from earlier weren't bad at all, at least they managed to damage my clothes...

"Well, it's quite interesting. Do you want to take a look?"

Sensei smiled as she took out two novels from the cabinet and tossed them to me.

"I don't want to read them again after finishing, so you can keep them."

"Is that really okay...?"

"Well, what do you mean?"

"The battles in the school, those knights are attacking others outside, especially targeting lower-ranked mage apprentices."

"They provided the remaining funds needed for researching 'duel enchantment,' and they have ensured that nothing unexpected will happen."

"So the academy has fully authorized this kind of fighting?"

You could say that. By the way, this is your 'battle enchantment,' make sure to activate it before any fight. We don't have the budget to repair the academy buildings anymore."

"..."

Is it really that simple? An enchantment that allows students to fight each other? And then it's okay to fight each other like this?

No, it can't be that simple. Didn't they merge two academies to form a team to counter the Eastern Continent? Continuously having conflicts like this won't achieve that goal, right?

"...What will the winner of the three knight orders get?"

"Oh, I didn't expect you to know about that too."

Mary sensei looked at me with curiosity.

"Did you figure it out yourself, or did someone tell you?"

"Hey hey hey, I haven't said what I know yet, and you're already so sure... let me think, even the knights from those orders have a lot of things they don't know, right? What is it this time? The last time, the annual tournament was originally a competition between nobles, but I messed it up. This time, to prevent such a thing from happening, shouldn't you give me a heads up?"

"Seriously, why do I have a student like you who is full of conspiracy theories? If the military experts from Duoge Academy knew about your talent, they would definitely make you study military, and you might even become a marshal."

"A mage becoming a marshal? Maybe one day I really want to try it."

Yaling, who was next to us, was laughing to herself the whole time. Ah, come on, if you want to laugh, laugh out loud. Isn't it hard for me to bear with my sarcastic remarks?

"Anyway, since you already know, let me 'accidentally' tell you a little more."

Accidentally... well, it seems like the plot is going to be interesting.

"If we face the challenge from the Eastern Continent head-on, the whole continent will be caught in the war, and many people will die. You understand this, right?"

"That's right."

"So this time, we decided to let you students form a team of less than 100 people and join the other alliances from the other academies on the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent in the 'Continental Academy War.'"

"Oh my... I knew it would be this kind of situation..."

The whole continent? The scope has suddenly expanded quite a bit.

But it also means more experience, skills, and... not to mention, more treasures to steal... no, I mean obtain!

Very well...

"Do we really need these three knight orders? Although we mages are in the minority in numbers, it doesn't mean we will definitely lose, right?"

"You...!"

Mary sensei stared at me for a while, then sighed.

"Of course it's up to you, but battles to recruit people have already begun since the vacation, and many have already been taken. What are you planning to do?"

"Quantity... has never been the reason for my victory.""Oh, really? Good luck to you. This matter will be announced in the first week of school, so by then..."

"I know, I know, is there anything else now? Then I'll go first. Yaling, let's go."

"Yeah."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget to take the books with you."

Suddenly, there was an attack warning from behind. I quickly crouched down and the two books flew over my head and smashed into the door panel.

The door panel cracked...

"Ah, my door!!!"

Listening to Miss Mary's shout, I smiled and then took the two books off the door panel.

"Thank you, goodbye."

After saying that, Yaling and I left the office.

Leaving the office, I quickly opened my list of contacts.

Aliyah, Dale, Bai Yueguang, and... Huh, Taishi Xi?

Scrolling down the list, I suddenly saw an incredible scene!

Taishi Xi's name is actually in the list of contacts, not in the normal list! This means one thing... she, like us, has also traveled here!

She hadn't said anything before, and I thought she was also from this world, but I didn't expect... well, along with her name, I quickly sent out a message.

"Come to my house as soon as possible, I'm going to start a war!"

...

..........

................

"Are you crazy! But I like it! I'll come over after I finish lunch."

From Bai Yueguang.

"Sounds good. Are you planning to massacre the city? We've already finished our handling here, but we've encountered some troublemakers. Is that why you want to start a war?"

From Aliyah.

"You should have just sent it to Bai Yueguang. Why send it to me?"

From Taishi Xi.

"I'll come over after I deal with these few boring knights in front of me."

From Dale.

Great... It seems that we already have 11 people at least, don't we?
