-1310- [ Raikiri ]

Rozen's hesitation and actions went unnoticed by the girl; otherwise, his title of "The Enigmatic Star" might have turned into "The Creepy Wolf."

In front of Rozen, who stood stiffly holding his student handbook, the girl finally freed herself from the pile of papers, pulling her head out.

But before she could catch her breath, she began to fumble around the floor in a panic.

"My glasses... Where are my glasses...?"

The girl searched the floor like a blind person, clearly very anxious. It seemed her vision was extremely poor without her glasses.

Thus, she remained unaware that Rozen was standing behind her, watching. She continued to fumble around, her skirt still flipped up, exposing her undergarments directly to Rozen's view. Her movements caused her exposed parts to wiggle and sway, making Rozen feel like banging his head against the floor himself.

But that wasn't the worst of it.

The most important thing was...

"...Could it be that she's looking for this?"

Rozen looked down at his feet.

There lay a pair of glasses, shattered on the floor.

Yes.

The glasses the girl was desperately searching for had been crushed under Rozen's foot.

When the girl fell, her glasses flew off and landed right at Rozen's feet.

Instinctively, Rozen had taken a step forward to try and catch her, but the distance was too great, and he could only watch as she hit the floor.

And... that step crushed the glasses with a "crack."

Sighing, Rozen bent down to pick up the broken glasses.

In the next moment...

"Repair..."

Rozen softly chanted a brief incantation.

"Huh?"

The girl, fumbling around for her glasses, seemed to sense something, pausing her movements and turning towards Rozen.

"Buzz..."

At that moment, magical power surged in Rozen's hand, causing the shattered glasses to float, the pieces reassembling as if time were reversing, until they were whole again.

Rozen used a bit of magic to repair the broken glasses in his hand.

"Are these your glasses?"

Rozen stepped forward and handed the glasses to the girl.

"Y-Yes! I'm sorry!"

The girl, flustered, quickly thanked him and hurriedly put on the glasses before looking up.

Rozen did the same, and their gazes met.

Only then did they get a clear look at each other's faces.

Rozen saw a surprisingly delicate face, gentle yet with a touch of strength and sharpness, which the glasses tempered, making her look unassuming but still beautiful.

The girl saw a surprisingly handsome face, blending Eastern and Western features, giving him a mixed-race appearance with a blend of boyishness and maturity, creating a unique charm.

Both Rozen and the girl recognized each other.

Though they had never met, they were both well-known figures, their information recorded in official documents, videos, and personal reports.

The girl spoke in surprise.

"You're... Rorelai Arneet?"

She recognized Rozen immediately.

Rozen smiled slightly.

"Nice to meet you, Student Council President."

Yes.

Student Council President.

The girl before him was the Student Council President of Hagun Academy, who had reached the top four in last year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and was known as the academy's strongest knight.

She was called — Raikiri.

And her name was Todo Touka.

This personal information was well-known within and outside Hagun Academy.

As the strongest student knight of Hagun Academy and a top-four contestant in last year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, Todo Touka's skills were at a pinnacle.

Though still a student, she had participated in numerous practical actions organized by the League of Mage-Knight Nations, fighting real criminals and evil Blazers. Her high level of experience and strength made her a rising star even recognized by the League's top officials.

Shinguji Kurono had once said that the incoming Stella Vermillion was no match for this student council president, and even now, whether Stella could win without using her Dragon Spirit was uncertain.

Thus, Rozen was well-acquainted with the famous student council president's name and had watched her in selection matches, instantly recognizing Todo Touka.

Naturally, Todo Touka knew of Rozen.

Even without having met, as a mysterious A-Rank knight at Hagun Academy, the student council president would certainly pay attention to him.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. I've heard a lot about you, Arneet-san."

Todo Touka bowed in greeting.

"No, it's I who should say that. Your reputation precedes you, Student Council President. It's an honor to meet you today."

Rozen smiled and greeted her in return.

They observed each other.

And silently, in their hearts, they each gave an evaluation known only to themselves.
