Two months had passed since the battle with the high orc.
After that, a survey team was sent to see if there were any other High-Orcs in the forest, but it seems that only that one High-Orc was found.
What we encountered was just a stray high orc.
It was just bad luck.
Since the battle with the high orc, I had been spending my time without any problems.
Playing with Natalie, talking with Emilia, getting tangled up with Dominic, seeing Berg surrounded by girls, and so on.
These ordinary days were good, right?
Then, today, Natalie, I and Berg were called by Chris-sensei.
Chris-sensei was waiting for us in the office.
“Hey, you’re here.”
“Sensei, what can we do for you?”
I asked her quickly.
“There’s a social event next week and I want you three to go.”
A social event at ……?
“Every year, we have an exchange meeting with Central Academy. The purpose is to understand each other’s current situation. This time, the other side is hosting the event, so we’re going to limit the number of students from Sanzar Academy. That’s why I chose you three from the first year.”
“Why us?”
Chris answered Berg’s question.
“In order of merit. You’ve all done well in the martial arts competition. You will be representing Sanzar Academy. You are going to represent Sanzar Academy, so please be aware of that. Now, prepare your luggage, as you will be staying here for four days.”
We expressed our understanding, and Chris-sensei nodded in satisfaction.

The day came for us to go to Central Academy.
We put our luggage in the carriage and waited near the school gate.
The total number of students and teachers going to Central Academy was twenty.
By the way, Chris-sensei was going with us and shei was in charge of leading the group.
It seems that another teacher will be watching class A while we’re gone.
Five students had been selected for each of the elementary, middle, and high schools.
Most of the middle and high school students are selected from the highest grade, while only three students from the first grade are selected for the elementary class.
“Mr. Kaisaf. Are you sure it was the right choice for us?
I asked Kaizahu, who was standing next to me.
Kaizahu was also supposed to represent the elementary school.
“It is a rule that those with the highest ability participate in the exchange. It’s a fair assessment, and it’s good to see that you first-year students are so talented. We can expect more from you.”
I felt bad for the seniors, but I was also excited about the exchange event.
I was going as a representative of the school, so I had to brace myself.
