A: Magic Forest

(1)

Lila was currently standing near the flagpole while yawning. Hundreds of pairs of eyes belonging to the magician academy disciples of the various castes stared fixedly at Lila and a few others nearby. Yes, Lila is currently being punished for being late. If only he was five minutes late, then the gatekeepers of the magician academy could still provide some tolerance for him. The thing is, the blonde-haired girl was an hour late from the start of the opening ceremony.

The headmaster who was giving a short speech this time looked towards Lila and the people nearby. He said, "children, this is an example of a student who does not know to be lucky. As you can see, the faces in front of you are familiar faces. Especially the short-haired blonde girl in the middle. Lila, can't you change? You'll only trouble a lot of people if you continue like this."

Lila did not answer. He chose instead to play with the sand using his feet rather than listening to the soothing mandate of the principal. At a glance, he also saw that almost all of the disciples in their respective ranks were staring contemptuously at Lila. In fact, some of them were blatantly mocking Lila. But Lila didn't care. All he wanted was one right now. Sleeps.

Lila turned to her left and right. As he expected, the people nearby were disciples with a recap of a large number of violations. Feeling that there was nothing else he could see, he lowered his head and he preferred to see the ants near his feet instead of the saintly pretenders in front of him at this moment.

Suddenly, Lila's eyes widened when she realized something important. He turned his head again to the right of his body and quickly looked for someone. His eyes opened wide when he saw that his friend was punished in front of the pole with him.

The cia? inner Lila while bending her brows. He did not expect that his friend was being punished with him at this time. In fact, as far as Lila is concerned, Cia is a clever young witch. His IQ alone exceeded the average of a magician his age. However, the bespectacled girl with braid hair stood in front of the flagpole. Can Lila see that her best friend was looking down embarrassed because he was noticed by many people.

Perhaps, Lila should ask him after this.

Fortunately, Cia was chosen to be Lila's partner. The glasses girl walked quickly to one of the toilets while carrying a bucket full of water that had previously been mixed with floor cleaners. Meanwhile, Lila he stayed behind. Realizing that Cia acted like she was avoiding him, Lila chased after Cia by running while carrying a floor mop like crazy.

"Cia, don't hurry up, dong!"

Lila finally managed to catch up to Cia. He patted the girl on the shoulder while panting from exhaustion.

"Don't approach me!"

"Eh?" Lila was confused. "Why?" tanyakanya.

"E-whatever..."
