Boring Life In A Magic Highschool

Girl in the shadows

After lunch, the class proceeds to go as per the usual schedule.

"Okay, now for this stage part of the map, there will be a trap laid there..."

Our homeroom teacher, Asahi, was discussing the upcoming exam. Every tactic and tricks that could be used.

This is... pretty boring... Most of the tricks he's mentioning are "common-sense" tricks. It's not really something unique, and if Kyouko wasn't exaggerating.

"Hunting a group of students is an easy feat for them."

Then, this may all be pointless.

Argh, I'm getting pretty sleepy.

When suddenly,

"And regarding about the one who will hunt you in this test, it is the fourth member of the council, does anybody have a clue to who is he?"

"We've heard of him, If I'm correct, his name is....Uhm...Kajiyashaki Ryujin!"

One of the female students answered.

"I see. That's right. Kajiyashaki Ryujin, one of the upper echelons of this school is going to be the one hunting you. Knowing him, this test won't be an easy win for you all. I suggest you prepare your arsenals quite wisely to pass this test."

He warned with a smirk on his face as if to mock his students.

"Setting the hunter aside, there have been changes in the time limit. From the previously announced 10 hours to just a short 5 hours. This has been decided by the council to ease the difficulty for the students. Are there any concerns?"

...

"Looks like there are none. Now, let's continue the lesson.

...

After school.

The final bell rang, a crowd of students stood up from their seats and was ready to go back to their dormitory. I was putting all the books back in my bag when suddenly Haruto walked up to me and flashed a friendly smile.

"Hey, about the meeting today, it is announced that the library will be closed so we're looking for a place, so...is your dorm available?"

"W-What...?"

I blurted out in surprise.

"S-Sorry, you seem quite surprised."

"I-I mean... why my dorm?"

Out of all the places you could think of, my dorm comes to your mind?

"All of our dorms aren't available... so..." He replied as he scratched his head.

That's very odd... and weird... suspicious.

"Yeah...sure"

I'm not sure why I agreed...

"That's nice! See you in front of your dorm!"

He said happily as he waved me goodbye.

After he left, I continued packing my things.

I'm regretting my decision already. I stood up and prepared myself to leave when a distinct feeling of being watched surfaced in my chest.

I looked around cautiously, but as expected, there was no one in sight.

I'm having the feeling of being followed. I walked naturally, yet cautiously within the hallways, always on the lookout for whoever was following me.

Continuing my path outside, the terrifying feeling of being watched still lingers.
