YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 473: The Royal Academy, Again

"Hey, how many goblins did you slay this time?"

"I got about 7... You...?"

"Hahaha. I just hit a new record! I got 10 of them!"

"Ohh! That's great! At this rate, you'll soon reach F-rank!"

Excited and cheerful voices. Such noises were adrift in the air, students from ages 15 to 20 parading around the Academy grounds, trusty weapons by their side and armor attached on their body, amulets and accessories as well.

It was the middle of the afternoon, and after some difficult training, everyone was now resting themselves by the training grounds, sitting on the stone slabs by the stairs and telling one another stories about their recent practical training.

Everyone was lively and well, some still eager to work harder and improve their skills. After all, the Royal Academy was a meritocracy. No matter what one's status is, as long as they have the skills, they can succeed in whatever they want.

"Fufufu! What do you think, Grey? Does it suit me?" ［Yuna］

"Everything suits you, My Dear." ［Grey］

"Mou... That answer again... At least put a little effort in your compliments. I tried hard to dress and pretty myself up, you know?" ［Yuna］

"Well, that's because everything really suits you. That's just how pretty my fiancée is. No matter what you wear, I'm sure I'll be head over heels for you." ［Grey］

"... Hmph! What a sleek tongue you have!" ［Yuna］

The young lady was pouty and puffy after hearing Grey's half-baked compliment, but after hearing more of his words, she couldn't help but feel flustered. She tried to play it off, but there's no way she can hide it. Her ears were red and flapping excitedly.

Grey and Yuna are now in front of the Royal Academy, and unlike most of their day, they have now changed into some new clothing. It was the Royal Academy uniforms Grey and Yuna once received when they were temporary instructors.

They never had the chance nor reason to use it, but now that they want to go inside the Royal Academy, along with their illusion magic, there was no better disguise. As for the reason to go inside... They just want to go sightseeing and to have some fun.

"Well, let's continue with our date, shall we?" ［Yuna］

"A date... I don't think people normally do this on dates..." ［Grey］

"Fufufu! Don't sweat the small stuff～!" ［Yuna］

A bright smile blooming on her face, Yuna then headed towards the gate, grabbing Grey by the hand and holding him close to her. They lined up after the students and verified their identities with their ID cards.

Of course, Grey and Yuna don't have student ID cards, however, they do have their usual guild and privilege cards. The guards were a little surprised to see some unfamiliar faces, but after seeing their cards up close...

"Y-Your Higー"

... They were quickly taken by surprise. The honorable Heroes of Alfrione suddenly appeared before them, wearing the school uniform and disguising themselves like normal students of the academy. Who wouldn't be surprised?

Thankfully, Grey and Yuna were able to erect a small sound-isolating barrier before things got out of hand. Yuna also placed her index finger before her lips, making sure to ask the guards to keep quiet about it, which they did ever so obediently.

"Sorry for the sudden intrusion, but can we head inside now?" ［Grey］

"O-Of course, but if it isn't too rude to ask... Could I please hear the reason for your visit? We weren't exactly informed that you will be arriving today."
