The first girl, with buns in her hair, said, "I am Aiyia, oh no, sorry for scaring you..."

Her name is "Ai Yi Ya"... Such a cute onomatopoeic term...

Cough, never mind, the girl with the buns on her head is now bowing to me apologetically.

"No, actually, you didn't scare me, it's fine... Speaking of which, what was that just now?"

Upon hearing my question, she immediately straightened her posture, proudly saying, "That was the magic I'm practicing, called Accelerated Regeneration."

She pointed to the buns on her head and then plucked them off.

"See, just by reciting this spell and recalling one's previous appearance, you can quickly recover..."

Her dark blue hair grew into a pink bun hairstyle like a seed sprouting branches.

So it's not necessary to eat them to grow them back...

The second girl, in her adolescence, said with a smile, "Hehe, you seem like a formidable opponent..."

The girl had bandages tied on her hand, one hand covering her eye, and the other hand stretched out towards me.

Then, the hand she extended caught fire, with huge pink flames...

Huh? Pink... colored?

"Hmph, Miss Molly Ann looks pretty, but that's about it. You will never meet any good men in your future, will you? It seems like you can't even find a boyfriend! Oh, hehehehe..."

The girl smirked, as if expecting some reaction from me.

But your curse sounds really malicious to a normal girl, but I have absolutely no intention of finding a boyfriend, so I won't get angry at all, okay? In fact, I feel relieved.

So, let's give her a generous response!

"I don't have that intention at all right now, you know? Even if I did, it wouldn't matter. After all, you are much cuter than me, so the boys' attention would definitely be drawn to you."

"Hmm!? Hmm... Is... is that so... hehe..."

The adolescent girl blushed and even giggled.

"Hehe, you're quite eloquent! I'm called Wakaka, pleased to meet you."

"Wakaka"...huh?

It's another cheerful, oh no, another unusual name.

"That black flame just now was the magic I was practicing, called Fortune Display. Actually, the color of the flames can be anything, but black is so cool! By the way, I'm sorry for deceiving you just now, but I haven't fully mastered this magic yet, so I can't see other people's fortunes."

No, actually, I quite liked that fortune...

The third girl, with narrow eyes, said, "Umm...you..."

"Hush..."

Seeing that I wanted to greet her, Aiya-chan, oh no, Aiyia-chan quickly grabbed my sleeve and shook her head at me.

Wakaka was also urging me to stay quiet with her eyes.

Aiyia: "Listen to me, she's different from us. We are all freshmen this year, while she is a fourth-year student in our academy, the graduation class."

Wakaka: "Mhmm, she seems quite unapproachable."

Aiyia: "And I heard she was supposed to graduate two years ago?"

Wakaka: "She repeated two years, it seems like her grades weren't good!"

---------------

Okay, here let's insert the enrollment regulations of Central Federal Private Magic Academy.

Firstly, self-recommendation is not allowed in this academy. Only those who become mid-level magicians at a young age have the possibility of receiving an invitation to enroll. The graduation criteria are simple, become a mid-level three-ranked magician.

The requirements of ordinary academies are much lower, usually just advanced beginner can join, and graduating with low rank level three is enough. Those who advance to mid-level before graduation are the top students.

At first glance, the School of Balancing seems like a higher-level academy compared to these ordinary academies, somewhat like the relationship between middle school and high school. However, it's not the case. Usually, the age of graduation in the School of Balancing is lower than the age of enrollment in other academies. Those who can come here are geniuses among geniuses.

Cough, actually, advancing from mid-level one to mid-level three is much simpler than advancing from beginner three to mid-level one. It's just a matter of accumulation. Young magicians who enter the mid-level before the age of twenty, as long as they are not too lazy, should be able to achieve it within four or five years...

Since the School of Balancing is so difficult, it definitely has its own strengths - the legendary realm of High Rank magicians that can rarely be encountered.

According to the data compiled by the federation, 90% of all recorded High Rank magicians have graduated from the School of Balancing.

Furthermore, there is a living legend here, the astrologer Damia...

————————————

Molly Ann: "Since she hasn't graduated, does that mean she hasn't reached the intermediate level three?"

Aya: "Yeah, yeah, I heard from senior students that she practices very hard. It's really disappointing how she turned out..."

Vakaka: " No wonder she looks so unapproachable! It must be because of her mood!"

"Hey..."

Vakaka: "Ah, she's speaking..."

Aya: "Ah, we've been heard..."

Molly Ann: "Hello..."

The dark-haired senior with a gloomy expression on her face, pushed her long bangs to the side and gave me a sidelong glance.

"You, called Molly Ann, right?"

"Yes..."

"What is your relationship with Emile?"

"...Huh?"

The atmosphere in the dorm suddenly became tense.

Aya: "What are you saying, senior! Molly Ann sweetheart looks cute and quiet, how could she be related to that demonic Emile!?"

Vakaka: "That's right, senior! Even I can't stand it anymore! You can't mock the new classmate like this! Even if she was late!"

Is being late that unforgivable...? Wait a minute, is Emile not well-liked!? Then wouldn't it affect her classes?

This won't do... I need to correct their prejudices...

"Hey, everyone, listen to me, Emile..."

Aya: "The Cataclysm of the Crimson Lotus."

Vakaka: "The Demon of the Scarlet."

Aya: "Human Tragedy."

Vakaka: "The creator with their own hands."

"Eh... what are you guys talking about? Emile?"

Vakaka banged on the table and looked at me helplessly.

"Molly Ann, since you came to the School of Balancing to learn, you must know about our principal's story, right!?"

"Well... probably... I don't know?"

Aya: "How is that possible!? Let me tell you then. Several years ago, when that fierce demon Emile was rampaging around, even the president of the world's strongest magical guild couldn't stop her. Our principal sealed the power of that demon with just one finger, unharmed, and instilled kindness in her as a human being."

Vakaka: "It's precisely because of this incident that Principal Damia is known as the strongest in the world!"

Aya: "That's all!"

Vakaka: "Thank you for listening!"

Eh... did Emile really do such a thing... but she's only in her teens this year...

That jerk was causing trouble right from the start!?

"Well, now that she has changed, there's no need to discriminate against her like this..."

Irelian: "Hehe, that's just how the world is... even if Emile has become human, people will never forget the fear she brought them as a demon. By the way, don't call me Irelian, call me Eileen."

Aya: "By the way, the new teacher looks so cute!"

Vakaka: "Yeah! Such a little one! I really want to take her class!"

"Wait, hey, isn't Emile..."

"Hush..."

Eileen made a gesture at me and gave me a meaningful look.

Then she whispered in my ear...

"No, Molly Ann."

"Don't... tarnish Miss E-Mi-Chan's reputation, okay?"
