......

"Then it's settled. From today onward, you're my student."

"Yes, Sensei!" Ais responded earnestly.

"That's all for today. Come find me in a couple of days when you're free. I've been quite idle lately."

"Understood!"

With that, Ais bowed excitedly and then left.

"A Student, huh!"

Watching Ais's departing figure, Mika's face was filled with a smile.

"Oh, seems like you really like having disciples, Mika!" Mellie, who had been watching the conversation between Mika and Ais from start to finish, suddenly leaned on Mika's back and whispered, "How about I play the role of 'Student' tonight?"

"Huh?" Mika, who had been immersed in the camaraderie between teacher and student, snapped back to reality upon hearing Mellie's words.

Seeing Mellie's mischievous eyes filled with amusement, Mika said helplessly, "Please don't ruin the pure relationship between teacher and student, okay?"

"Oh? So do you want it or not?" Mellie asked with a sly smile.

"...I guess I do," Mika replied softly.

...

"Ais!"

When Ais returned to where she had been before after leaving Mika, she heard Riveria calling out to her.

"Riveria, what are you doing here?" Ais asked curiously.

Earlier, because Ais had been focused on Mellie, Riveria, knowing Ais's thoughts, had found an excuse to leave.

As for why Riveria was here now, naturally it was for Ais.

In her view, Ais was destined to return empty-handed from this trip.

So Riveria planned to comfort her.

"I was waiting..."

But before Riveria could finish speaking, Ais stepped forward and hugged her.

Recalling that Mika had agreed to teach her because of Riveria's favor, Ais was filled with gratitude towards Riveria.

"Thank you, Riveria!" Ais said earnestly.

"Thank me? Thank me for what?" Riveria asked, puzzled as she looked at Ais hugging her tightly.

Although she didn't understand what had happened, Riveria still reached out to hug Ais, comforting her, "Don't be sad. Even if you can't learn Mika's special techniques, you can still grow to become one of Orario's strongest. We all believe in you!"

Riveria wasn't lying.

She genuinely believed that Ais was not inferior to Mika and the others.

Even if Mika and his companions were progressing faster than Ais.

"Huh? But Mika-senpai has already agreed to take me as his Student!"

"No, I should call him Mika-sensei!"

Just as Riveria was thinking about how to continue comforting Ais, Ais's words snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Did you say Mika accepted you as his Student?"

"Yes!"

Ais nodded earnestly.

"Ah!"

Receiving a positive answer, Riveria's expression became dazed.
