The Female Soldier Has Been Told to Infiltrate the Imperial Magic Academy

Chapter 16: Biology is a Compulsory Subject

Once the class started, time went by quickly. After she finished her classes for the first week, Razé went on an outing to the Fiza Shopping District with Carna and Folia on their first weekend. This is the youth I’m looking for, thought Razé as she enjoyed the girls-only gathering like a normal teenager. Along the way, they bumped into Adis and his fangirls. But considering that Razé managed to become friend with Carna because of him, she didn’t say anything to criticize his behavior.

Carna: “Razé-san, it seems like you’re thoroughly enjoying your meal.”

They were having lunch at the dining hall located near the school building. Razé munched her food as she made a bewildered expression.

Razé: “Am I?”

Carna: “Yes. When I’m eating with you, the food tasted better.”

Razé swallowed her food and looked at Carna. Carna gave her a gentle smile. She ate her omelet rice, thinking that if Folia was an angel, then Carna would be a goddess.

Folia: “I think so too. By the way, I want to go to the library after class is over. Do you two wants come with me?”

Folia now could converse normally with Carna as she was no longer nervous being with her. After spending a few days together, she had learned that no one would scold her as long as she practiced good manner.

Razé: “That sounds great. I want to go too.”

Carna nodded her head too and said, “If I’m not mistaken, the building near the clock tower is the library. It looks pretty huge.”

Folia: “Then we have to be careful, try not to get lost inside the library!”

Razé laughed when she heard Folia’s cute remark. This kind of heartwarming daily life was so different from her previous routine. It made her let her guard down. In fact, she kind of had a feeling that the day when she needed to make a move as a soldier would never come.

After lunch break, they had a biology class. Their biology teacher was Nigel Mira Dietier-sensei. He always wore a lab coat and usually stayed in his lab whenever he had no classes to teach.

Dietier: “In this world, there are creatures called ‘beasts’ [1] and ‘monsters’ that threaten humans. Is there anyone who can explain the difference between these two?”

Since she had to act like a scholarship student, Razé quietly put up her hand.

Dietier: “Mortens.”

Carna: “Yes.”

The teacher chose Carna. She was a diligent student and very enthusiastic about learning. Her aura was different from Razé. She always got chosen to answer in the class.

Razé was not really that eager to answer. Putting up her hand was enough to show her motivation as a scholarship student. But sometimes the teachers wouldn’t even noticed her, so she wondered if she didn’t have much of a presence.

Carna: “First, the creatures that live in Baruda are called monsters. The stone on their forehead is the magic stone we are using. On the other hand, beasts refer to the red-eyed animal that live in Ordiana. The main difference is that beasts do not have magic stones.”

Dietier: “That’s right. Anyone else who can give more details?”

Razé put up her hand to test if Dietier would notice her.

Dietier: “Granoli.”

Oh. He chose me. My existence has been acknowledged.

Perhaps there was no other student who put up their hands, so the teacher had noticed her.
