After school, I returned back to my room in the boys’ dormitory.
The bottom of the bunk bed was my territory. I put down my luggage and jumped onto the bed.
“Welcome back, Heli-chiー!”
On the upper bunk, my roommate Arata, a classmate who had returned to the room earlier, called out to me.
He looked down at me with threadbare eyes and smiled wryly.
“Why do you look so happy all of a sudden?”
“Because there’s a rumor going around.”
Rumor…
What is he talking about?
Could it be that the dean was wearing a wig or something?
“Why the incomprehensible look on your face when it’s about you in the first place?”
“Do you really think I have the kind of presence that people will talk about? It’s not like I did anything wrong either…”
I’m trying to remember the events at the academy earlier today.
Maybe he’s talking about that…
When I was thinking about it, Arata immediately gave me the answer.
“Ha? You fought the Hero-sama though?”
It’s so far from the truth!
How can a rumor change so much every time it’s spread!?
“You’re good. I had mistaken you for just another personality-less incompetent person, but I had no idea you were actually a villain! I failed to see that within you!”
(The temperature difference between the first half and the second half of his sentence is…!)
I threw a pillow at Arata, but it was easily avoided.
The pillow hit the ceiling, causing a small crack to appear on the roof.
“I’m going to bed!”
“Aye. Goodnight.”
I’m tired of being bothered by this guy so much.
He’s not my friend, and any more chatter with him is just a waste of time.
As I stared at the creaking back of the top bunk, my mind drifted to the image of her smiling.
A special smile that she never showed to Lute anymore.
She was showing that special smile only to me.
This is the first time I’ve seen her smile.
『There you go, you’ve got it all wrong.』
Her voice echoed in my ear.
Ah, that’s right.
There’s no way that such a sweet turn of events will come to me as a mob character, and I’m sure it’s all just a misunderstanding.
I might have just been caught up in the fight between Lute and Dorothy that happened for some reason.
I’m sure I’ll be the villain in the next team competition, and he’ll be so thorough with me that I’m sure I’ll never recover from it…

In the magic academy.
There was a girl who remained alone in the underground training center.
She wiped the sweat from her battered face and continued her training until she reached her limit.
“I can’t lose… I have to… protect him… I have to become stronger!”
It was to keep a certain boy from getting hurt.
The roars of the training center echoed incessantly that night, as she sought the strength to defeat an opponent far stronger than herself.
