Chapter 16 : Festival of Chaos.
"Ugh... my head..."
As morning dawned, Skir and Pola, who had come out of the tent, were each holding their small heads and complaining of a headache.
And for good reason, they had practically chugged tea brewed from raw Racules leaves by the gallon!
Even if they had drunk that much black tea, a headache was natural.
"I feel a little sick to my stomach..."
É ňūm а̇
Skir rubbed his stomach and tilted his head.
'Of course your stomach hurts... you foolish things...!'

Lucas felt his own stomach churn as he looked at them.
"Where in the world did you get the Racules leaves?"
"Then... that person named Sament came and gave them to us."
"Right... he said let's get along and that he would treat us better when we become adults."
Ẇe b ǹ о̃v е̇l̊ Е̂ ňu̇ m_ӑ
It was incredibly foolish. If he was going to give them to children, he should have told them how much to put in!
Lucas's annoyance flared up as he thought about last night.
The two, who had drunk a lot of Racules leaves, had poured out their life stories, which were hard to listen to without tears, all through the dawn, and thanks to that, Lucas was also forced to listen to their stories.
"Crazy... so you just threw in all the Racules leaves and brewed tea like a brute?"

"Hehe... I guess so..."
Pola, who was scratching her head and smiling awkwardly. Lucas threw a water bottle at each of them.
Ёn̊ü m̈ а̊
"Drink some water at least."
"T-thanks."
Skir, who seemed thirsty, opened the water bottle and drank the water greedily.
"Ah... I feel alive!"
Skir and Pola giggled, holding the water bottles in their hands.
"Good grief..."

A small smile hung on Lucas's lips, as if he found their appearance absurd but not entirely disagreeable.

Several weeks had passed since the beginner class's camp for harmony and friendship had ended.
As if the camp had not been entirely in vain, the atmosphere of the beginner class was quite different from the beginning.
The students would take care of each other's class materials, and although they still bickered, Pola and Skir had also become quite close.
Lucas was the only one who was uncomfortable with their friendship.

"Rookie! Let's go eat!"
"Pola. He doesn't like being called that."

Pola, who had even given Lucas the nickname Rookie, clung to Lucas persistently no matter how much he pushed her away.
She said she had to understand and take care of him because he was her younger brother. It was so absurd that he couldn't even fart.
"What's he going to do if he doesn't like it! I'm the older sister!"
"Hoo..."
Е n u ṁ ǎ . і̃d
"He's sighing again! I told you that's a bad habit!"
The little bean was even nagging Lucas, trying to act like an older sister.
That nagging was quite natural. And for good reason, Pola had been abandoned in front of an orphanage as soon as her mother gave birth to her. Because of that, she, who had grown up there, had become accustomed to taking care of her younger siblings since she was young.
Knowing that story, Lucas was also putting up with her being friendly.

"Right. Let's go. We have to eat, right, Ru-Rookie?"
But what was even more annoying was that Skir, following her, was also being quite friendly to him.
Ê n̆u m̆а́.і́ d̊
'Damn brats. I should have thrown them to the orc for food back then.'
After the camp, the academy people had even given them the nickname 'The Three Musketeers of Hollow Shells'.
Geniuses who had entered the academy at a young age! Or so they thought, but it turned out to be a nickname given because they were like hollow shells staying in the beginner class.
'No. This is definitely my fault for not biting my tongue when I was five.'

"Ah, please, let's go~ Let's go together~"

"I said I'm not going."
"Rookie, don't be like that, let's go~"
"I'm not going!!!"
Lucas, who was trying to peel off Pola who was clinging to his arm persistently, frowned, but it was no use.
Lucas, who was playing chess with Brandy in the library for the first time in a while, felt his annoyance boil up as this peacefulness was shattered in an instant.
"Don't be like that, go with them."
Ŵе b̊ n̂ ó v̀ е l Е ṅ um å
"I'm not going."
Brandy let out a small 'hoho' laugh at Lucas's firm answer as he moved a chess piece one square forward.

"But the festival will be quite fun."
"That's right. It'll be really fun. It feels empty with just me and Kir going. Huh? You should come with us too~"
This little brat, as if making nicknames was her hobby, was even calling Skir 'Kir'.
"Right. Let's go together? Of course, my family will send a carriage too."
Е̊n.û m а̇. іd̂
Pola, who glared at Skir who had shrugged his shoulders once, shouted.
"I said we don't need a carriage! It's right in front of us, why would we take a carriage?!"
"Ah, okay. But they said they would send one... and you know I can't go out without an escort..."
The roles of master and servant were clearly defined in this relationship. Skir, who had not survived in the world of the law of the jungle, had been unable to move a muscle at Pola's words for some time now.

"I think I've lost. Don't be like that, go with them. I have a lot to do today, so I'll be going..."
"W-what do you mean you've lost! I'll let you take back a move, so hurry up and come back and sit down!!!"

If Brandy left, his shield would be completely gone. But despite Lucas's urgent cry, Brandy was already leaving the spot with quick steps.
"Damn it..."
"Now, we're going, right? Hurry up and put on your robe."
Pola, who had even personally taken Lucas's robe from the seat next to him and placed it on his shoulders, urged Lucas.
'Damn brats. I should just die quickly!!'
Regret is always too late.

A festival was a festival.
Even a small festival in a remote village had an excited atmosphere that spread quickly outside the village, and the empire's big festival, Thanksgiving, was no exception.
A festival to celebrate the harvest of crops grown with effort throughout the year. The blood and sweat of the empire's people shed throughout the year were melted into this festival.
The cheers and excited festival atmosphere heard from here and there were clearly transmitted to the Three Musketeers of Hollow Shells.
"Look over there! It must be a magic tool shop!"
Ẅ ӗ b̄n̄о v е̄l̃ Еn̆u m̆ а
"Hmph! A magic tool shop on a roadside like that..."
"Let's go!"

Skir, who was dragged by Pola's hand before he could even finish his words, pouted his lips.
"Wow! Look at this!"
"Oh my~ our little lady has a good eye! This is a lamp that's very good for sleeping. Now, if you press here... ta-da! Starlight will sparkle all over the room."
The shop owner, who gently wrapped the small spherical lamp with both hands, showed Pola the small lights that had appeared on his palm, turning them this way and that, and Pola's eyes sparkled.

"Wow... how much is this?"
"3 shillings! I'm giving it to you cheap because our little lady is pretty."
"...Ah, it's okay! Hey, let's go somewhere else!"
Pola, who heard the price, quickly grabbed Skir and Lucas's hands and led them away.

"Didn't you like that? By any chance..."
"Hey! No, I didn't! I didn't like it! I don't need something like that?!"
Е́ n um̊а̊
Skir, who raised one hand in a gesture of surrender at Pola's exaggerated reaction, quickly nodded his head.
Humans were truly complicated. If a friend had more than you, it would be nice to just ask for one of those things and receive it... but the clumsy expression of a child who was familiar with hiding their feelings and lying because of pride was truly pitiful.
'Let's not mind it.'
Their eyes were full of life as they were dragged around by Pola's hand, munching on various snacks and watching the festival.
Lucas, too, seemed to not entirely dislike this, and was following them without a word.
"Ugh! It's so tiring, right?"

They were sitting on the terrace of a cafe next to the square, ordering a drink each and watching the people passing by.
"Huh? The Three Musketeers of Hollow Shells!"
It was Sament and Eira from the beginner class. The two, who seemed to have been sticking together since the last potion class, were now openly exuding a 'we're in love' aura.
Unlike Sament, who had been a rough mercenary who had roamed the battlefields, Eira had a very timid and cautious personality.
It was a mystery how those two, who were so mismatched, had become a couple.
"I told you not to call us that!"
W е̇b̂nӧ v̆ ê l Е̄ n̈ úm̈ а̄
"Hahaha, I was just kidding. Just kidding."
Sament had become quite gentle since the camp.

Whether the words he had said while giving them the Racules leaves were half-joking and half-serious, he no longer said mean things to them or picked fights with them.
"You guys came out to see the festival too, huh?"
"Right. We came out to see the festival. You came out to date, huh?"
"Khuk. Anyway, I still can't get used to this little brat's way of talking. What kind of way of talking is that of an eighty-year-old man."
E ñ ǔm̂ӑ
"O-old man! I am the son of a high-ranking duchy and I must have..."
"Yes, yes~ I'm sure. Then have fun and go back!"
Skir, who seemed to have gotten a little used to this kind of treatment now, just let out a small sigh and let him go without saying much.
The escorts who were guarding Skir's surroundings also knew the rules within the academy well, so they did not interrupt his words or question his actions.

An unwritten rule that even a high-ranking duchy could never touch. It was the rule within the academy.
"The parade is about to start. Let's hurry up and go see it!"
En̆ üm å . î ď
Skir and Lucas let out a deep sigh at the start of the festival viewing again.
***
The highlight of the festival.
Crowds were gathering from all over, as if the parade was about to begin.
The personnel in charge of the festival were deployed, and safety guards in charge of the safety of the event lined the street where the parade was about to begin.
"Now, now! Please take two steps back!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
At the voice of an official that echoed through the street as if using amplification magic, people began to take two steps back in an orderly fashion.
"We will make an announcement before the parade! Those with a phobia of magic, please be careful when viewing the event! We will announce again! Those with a phobia of fire magic or lightning magic, please be careful when viewing!"
The magic academy, established for Arant to become a magical powerhouse. After the academy was established, academy students were active in all festivals.
The lead was always taken by the student who had completed the master course with the highest score in the previous semester.
People's attention was always focused on the parade that announced the position of the top student to everyone.
"How wonderful will this parade be?"
Ŵе̄ b no v е̂ l Е́n um̈ а̊
"I'm also really looking forward to it. Do you remember the parade from two years ago?"
"Oh my, of course! My heart still pounds just thinking about it!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"That's right, and that top student was so handsome..."
"That's right. Silver-blue hair... and blue eyes! I wish he would appear in my dreams just once..."
Lucas, who had taken a seat in the front row to watch the parade, frowned at the stories he heard.
The rare combination of silver-blue hair and blue eyes. Thinking about it brought to mind an unpleasant face.

"What are you thinking about so deeply?"
"By any chance, is Professor Aman also an academy graduate?"
Pola, who saw him, asked, and Lucas voiced what he had been curious about.
"Ah, Professor Aman? I heard so."

Skir, who answered Lucas's question instead, seemed to be thinking about something deeply and then opened his mouth.
"I know he was the top graduate two years ago. I know he completed the master course in just one year after entering."
Wе_b n̆ о́v̊ ё l Е̄ n̄ u mа̃
"Oh~ where did you hear all that?"
"Hmph, do you think my family wouldn't have looked into a professor who would teach me?"
"Right, right. You're so amazing!"
It didn't really matter. Whether that blue lizard had attended the academy or the academy's grandfather, it was a story that had nothing to do with him.
'Whatever.'
As he was looking ahead with a sullen face, a large firework announcing the parade embroidered the sky.

People began to cheer at the procession of carriages that followed soon after.
On top of the huge carriage pulled by nine horses, the woman standing at the lead looked very nervous.
As the four mages behind her raised their hands high, colorful lights were shot from their hands.
As the woman at the lead raised her hand high and began to chant a spell, people's eyes filled with anticipation.
Just as a beam of light was about to be shot from her hand.
-KABOOM!!

It crashed straight to the ground.
"Aaaah!!"

"Kyaaak!! A person! A person is crushed!!!"
As she finished her spell, the festival instantly turned into chaos.
'Damn it! I knew I didn't want to come!!!'
