Good morning, .Abel."

　When I enter the classroom, Mireia greets me with a smile.

　Yesterday, she looked scary  all the time.

"Which one is the real you?""

　I couldn't help but ask her.

"Well, what are you talking about?""

　Mireya says, and casually kicks me in the shin.

　It hurts.

　When I protested with my eyes, Mireia glared back at me. I'm sure she's trying to tell me not to talk about unnecessary things.

"I'd like to talk to you about something, Abel, about the team competition."

"Oh, I remember something like that."

　I was so busy thinking about heresy that I honestly forgot that there was such a thing.

"I approached the two of them in the morning, but they weren't cooperating.

"To be frank, if you fight alone, you won't lose, will you?"

　There's no one in this academy who can match the power that she ws shown one day ago .

"Abel-, if you say something more strange, I will get angry.

　The smile was gone from Mireia's face.

　I'm not going to say that she is already angry, because that would be uncalled for. It's just a thought that came out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry."

"Please becareful."

　I'm not sure if she forgave me or not, but Mireia returned to her cheerful smile.

"So what can I do to get you to cooperate?"

"Is it hardball?"

What do you mean?"

　Lunch break.

　First, I headed towards the long-haired man.

　I thought it would be easier to attack him this way.

"What's this guy's name?"

"Victor Fornese, ."

　Mireia told me.

　Oh, I remember that name.

　When Victor noticed my presence, he clucked his tongue at me.

　I guess I'm not welcome here.

"I know you're not happy, but if we're going to work as a team, we need to be able to communicate at least a little bit."

　When I said that, Viktor's eyebrows twitched.

　It seems that he can hear what I'm saying.

　But what should we do?　If the other person remains silent, nothing will happen.

　A person who had attended school and cultivated communication skills might be able to improve the situation by negotiating well, but unfortunately I'm a former recluse.

　I can't think of a better way.

　Okay, I'll take a hard line.

"If you feel like it, we can   do it here too."

"Abel, what are you doing?"

 

Mireia gives me an uneasy look.

"Fierro Lanza, Spear of Ice."

I mercilessly unleashed  mymagic at Viktor.

"Wait, what are you doing?

Mireia's scream echoed, but I didn't care.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing ......?"

It must have been a direct hit from the Ice Spear Fiero Lanza. Viktor bites down while holding his left arm, which is covered in blood.

"It's a good thing you finally opened your mouth."

"I'm going to kill you."

"I'll deal with you."

"Wait a minute, please!"

Mireia shouted, as if to put a damper on her motivation.

"You'll have to explain more about what you're up to!"

"If  he don't listen , I have to twist  him around and make him listen to . It's a basic principle of negotiation.

"I've never heard of such a thing!"

　Mireia seemed to be unhappy with something and protested.

"You tried to kill me yesterday, so why are you playing nice right now?

　I said this in a low voice so that no one around me could hear.

　As soon as I said that, Mireia's bloodshot eyes widened and she looked scared for a moment. I don't know if she thought I had a point, or if she decided that she would be digging her own grave if she protested further.

"I don't mind doing it, but let's at least do it outside."

　When I looked, I saw that all the students in the classroom were staring at us.

　Surely, it would be better to do it outside.
