Arakaki's life had been turned upside down since he arrived in this new world.
In these past few months, he had resolved to protect Komatsu more and think about her constantly.
He chose two arc magi, specializing in combat arts and magic combat arts, much like Komatsu, despite her having different arc magi.
Arakaki thought that affinity mattered, but it turned out that grade was what really counted.
In two months, he focused on learning and ranking up, now at pupil level 2, according to both Arc Magi.
The same was true for Komatsu.
Since they arrived at the academy, everything had gone according to plan.
They even befriended Felix, an F-Grade who had been slapped in the hall by Candal.
It was peaceful, just like when they first arrived at Arkala Village.
Now, Arakaki was preparing for a small tournament held by his arc magi in a couple of weeks.
Arakaki chatted with Komatsu as they descended into the underground right-wing building led by Felix.
