Rising of the Weakest Mage

Vol 4/Ch 34 - Sarah Childe

A bit over a week had passed since the first day of training for the Training Club members in the training grounds.

All of the members except Rose and Alice chose to train at the training grounds every day after classes ended. Rose had Student Council work to prioritize, so the rest of the members were understanding.

However, they were unsure where Alice was when she did not show up occasionally. She never offered them any sort of information why she was sometimes not there. Even Cecily, her sister, had no idea where she could be. Everyone left it alone, as it's not required for her to be there, and everyone has their own private life anyways. But still, that didn't mean some of them were still a little bit curious, as Alice was a quiet enough person as is.

As for today, it was just Allen, Thomas, Cecily, and Stephen. Allen and Cecily trained together, while Thomas and Stephen trained together. When Stephen and Thomas trained together, it was like they were starting to form this bond between each other. Allen thought it was both weird and interesting, but let it be. Least everyone was getting along.

Once their training was over, they all said their goodbyes and left the training grounds. They decided to end their training early today, since everyone was not here and it was finally the weekend.

Everyone headed out aside from Allen, who was the last to leave. He didn't leave right away, as he was thinking to himself how he could get better at using his magic.

"Perhaps if I utilize my mana more efficiently...," he mumbled to himself.

When he finally looked up, he realized everyone had already left. He decided to finally head out himself, and locked the entrance behind him with the key.

While heading back to his dorm room, he noticed that there were a few more students wandering the hallways than usual. He then reminded himself that they finished early today, so that was probably why there were still students around when usually there weren't that many.

He turned a corner to find a group of students blocking the hallway. It was a fairly large group, and their attention was focused on whatever was in front of them.

Was there something bad going on?, Allen thought to himself.

His worries were quickly removed when it seemed the crowd of students were all cheering or happy with whatever they saw ahead.

Was it some sort of fanclub?, Allen thought to himself. Stephen just left not long ago, maybe he really wasn't lying when he said he was considered popular?

As he approached the crowd, he noticed most of them were guys, and most of the students wore the earth uniform.

Some sort of Earth magic event going on here?, he thought. As he got closer, it just kept getting weirder and weirder.

Once he finally reached the crowd, he tried to navigate around them to see what was going on. He might as well find out what was going on, as this was something blocking his way back to his dorm room.

Did everyone else manage to get through before this happened?, he thought to himself. He left only minutes after everyone else, unless he thought wrong?

As he got closer to the front of the crowd, he overheard the students talking and cheering.

"You're so beautiful Sarah!"

"Can I get your autograph?"
"Can you please go out with me Sarah?"
"I wish I was her, she's so gorgeous!"

Allen could only be really confused and weirded out about what he overheard. It sounded like they were excited for some girl. Was it really some sort of fanclub? He decided to focus on his only objective: figure out the source of this commotion, and then finally get back to his room. He was tired from training, after all.
