Reborn as a hero's daughter, the hero aims to be a hero again.

Chapter 57: Entrance ceremony intrigues.

　I was sitting in my assigned seat in the main auditorium, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Unfortunately, Retina is sitting far away from me. The girl next to me is glancing at me, which is a little annoying.

　The way they look at her, she naturally makes a pouty face, but she would like them to give her a break on this one.

　I try not to make eye contact so as not to intimidate them and wait for the opening of the meeting.

　There were seats for the parents at the side of the auditorium, and a number of aristocrats could be seen.

Fina wanted to come, but this time Cortina was also there, and I felt that it would be a pity for her, a commoner, to stand in the same line as the nobles, so I asked her to refrain from coming.

　I reminded the students to abandon the status system, but I wasn't sure if it would be their families as well.

　After much waiting, the entrance ceremony finally began.

　The schedule of the ceremony is explained, and then the teacher's instruction begins.

　As I endured the speech, half-listening and half-silent, Maxwell, the chairman of the board of trustees, eventually took the stage and began a long speech.

　However, the content of his speech is overtly suspicious.

'Er, therefore. I ask you, as students of the Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, uh, to maintain moderation and to be fair regardless of your status.'

　He was dragging out the conversation in an ever more fluent, stilted voice.

　Why did he need to stall for time?　Is he finally losing his mind?

　Just as I was wondering this and tilting my head, the entrance started to get noisy.

'Look, if you don't hurry up, the ceremony will be over.

'I'm sorry. ' 'I'm not used to this technique, so it took me a while to activate it.'

　The loud and boisterous voices drew the eyes of the entire hall to the entrance.

Cortina and the two others who opened the gate and stepped inside will be the first to go.

'Oh, they're still at it!

'Maxwell, nice.

'Sorry to keep you waiting, Maxwell.

　I recognise the voices of all three of them.

　I mean, can you come, Lyell and Maria!

　Stepping into the hall with a thud are my parents and current guardians.

　They are Lyell, Maria and Cortina.

　The sudden appearance of the three heroes caused a great stir in the hall.

　The presence of Cortina and Maxwell was already known, but then came the appearance of Lyell and Maria.

　Now, if only Gadolus were here, we would have a full line-up of heroes.

'You're late, you three.

Sorry about that. Maria took a while to activate her magic.

Oh, it also took you a while to put on your armour, didn't it?

Was it my fault?"

　Lyell was indeed wearing unfamiliar armour.

It is a so-called scale armour, which is made up of layers of scaled armour. And the colouring of the scales is familiar.

Is that armour made by processing the scales of the evil dragon Colchis?

''Oh, there she is. Nicole!　How are you?"

　Maria, without reading the atmosphere, discovers me and waves widely.

　The eyes of the audience are instantly focused on me.

'Ma--Mama, why are you here ......?'

　I try to settle the situation by asking a question.

　Maria replies to my question with a ridiculous answer.

'Uh-huh. I've learnt the magic of transfer teleportation'.

　Hey, wait, what are you talking about all of a sudden? The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the first time I saw a woman in the same room as me.

　The teleportation magic is a very high-level magic of the interference system. In other words, it is an extraordinary magic that interferes with the information of an individual's position and makes one's own existence move.

　There are other types of movement magic, but teleportation magic is particularly difficult. The only magic of a higher level in the movement system is the portal gate of transfer.

　It is a magic that is more difficult to learn than the magic of the Transformation Polymorph, which I am currently trying to master.

''You've mastered it so easily,'' he said. ......

''Now I can come see Nicole every day!''

"'Come back, please."

' 'Of course I'm going home. I can't leave the village. I can only come in the evening for a quick visit.''

'I don't mind if I stay the night.'

Lyell, you're staying at a single woman's house?　Don't start any rumours about me.

"Ugh."

　Cortina interrupted Lyell's unfulfilled wish to speak out.

Cortina interrupted Cordelia's comment. He and I both know what we're talking about.

'Ho-ho-ho, all the old faces are here. It was worth the trouble'.

' 'Sorry, I've taken up too much of your time.'

　A teacher, of all people, is talking to Maxwell, who has started small talk from the podium, and is being flanked by a teacher.

'Chancellor, I'm sorry ...... very sorry, but we're also pressed for time'. ......

'Oh, yes!　Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, but I'm pressed for time. That's all!'

Maxwell, who had been dragging on and on up to that point, cuts the conversation very easily.

　The students who had been listening to him earnestly also opened their mouths in shock.

'All right, Lyell. The students who were seriously listening to the conversation were also open-mouthed. Would you like a drink?'

'No, there's no way I'm free. I'm going to go and have a drink with Nicole'.

"'What, you'd take your daughter over your former comrade?

"Course I'd rather have a drink with Nicole!"

　The old bastard gets excited by the appearance of his drinking buddy. Come to think of it, I wasn't very strong in my previous life either, so I couldn't join Maxwell for his evening drinks.

So that old man was always pulling out the Gadlus or Lyell.

　Whatever it was, my parents' appearance stirred up the entrance ceremony into a shambles.

　And I feel like my face has been wasted on them.

　I was very anxious about my future school life because of this situation right from the start.
