"Oh, Lexley. We are the prestigious Lexley. Lexley, always the top. Lexley, with brilliant students. Lexley, excels in every way. Lexley, outstanding Lexley in the spirit of the Lexley Mountains. Oh, Lexley. Our Lexley."

I didn't realise it when I sang it alone, but singing the school anthem together in the main auditorium was almost a thrill. The freshmen who sang had various facial expressions.
"Wow! I can't believe we're really going to attend Lexley! The school anthem is cool too! Everything is awesome!"

"What? Isn't the lyrics of the anthem so lame?"

One half of the students were embarrassed by the song that blatantly praised Lexley, while the other half felt proud. Of course, I was on the latter side, and unfortunately, Leto and Senior Jimbo were leaning more on the former side.

Unlike me, who was singing passionately, the two didn't even show any signs of opening their mouths. It just looked like they wanted to get away from the sound of the song that echoed in the auditorium.

"Then, we will wrap up the academy orientation. Welcome, new students!"

The orientation proceeded similarly to what it was a year ago. After giving a brief introduction about the academy, we gathered as a group and walked to the forest located behind the building. After a short walk into the forest, you will find each department's villa. As expected of the Magics Department, the roof was decorated with several wands and brooms used by wizards of the past.

"It's been so long!"

How my heart swelled a year ago when I saw this villa! I vividly remember that feeling, and I got excited without realising it.

When we all gathered at the villa, the seniors gave out advice. I stayed quiet as I didn't have any advice to give, but they had a lot of questions for Leto and Senior Jimbo, who were the winners of the cricket competition. Everyone knew Lexley Cricket's reputation, and so they were very interested.

Even if it wasn't about the cricket tournament, the freshmen had their eyes set on Leto and Senior Jimbo. Leto ranked first in last year's first year examination. Similarly, Senior Jimbo took the top spot for the second year examination, which the cricket captain had mentioned to the freshmen. He told them he was the winner of the cricket tournament and the top student.

'Wow. I wonder if this was how an abandoned loner felt.'

Because of that, I was left out and left behind far away. Then, I noticed a huge container of liquor stacked on top of each other.

Of course, they couldn't leave out the alcohol.

'How was last year's orientation, again?'

I became drunk because it was my first time drinking and Leto......He said his mother had come. I didn't know the details, but the atmosphere was cold and he became the talk of the students afterwards. That he was the hated daughter of the Arsene.

"Senior Leah! Can I ask you one more question?"

"......What is it?"

Leto had become completely different now than he was a year ago. Not only was he surrounded by students, but his expression was also lively.
