Didn’t Cross Paths Last Time

"Kaede Takahashi, even though you lacked the skills, you have worked hard these days and have proven your strength to join the National Institute team. But is joining the National Institute team your only target? You have to stand out in the World College Tournament among the powerful Mages and geniuses. You have to reclaim the country's glory. Hence, you have to pay full attention even though this is just training, understand?!" said the instructor, Shou Watani.

"Noted, Mr. Watani. Thank you for putting a painstaking effort on me!" Kaede Takahashi nodded and dared not to think of anything else.

Shou Watani's training was harsh. He seemed to be tireless.

Outside the arena, when the crowd noticed Shou Watani's figure, they talked about him.

"Isn't that Shou Watani? He's the leader of the Japanese team that won the last World College Tournament," said a man in a kimono and slippers while taking a sip of iced beer.
