Tensei Reijou wa Shomin no Aji ni Uete Iru

n a magician’s robes beside him… eh, Teacher Marlen!?
While I was stunned, Teacher Marlen grinned as if the prank had succeeded and proceeded to the podium, poking Teacher Neil with his cane, and saying, “Come on, hurry up.”
We hurriedly took our seats, straightened our postures, and looked at the podium.
What were Teacher Neil and Teacher Marlen doing here?

“Well, starting today, you guys, as new students, were assigned to different classes…”

Teacher Neil scratched his head as he continued.

“I, Neil, will be in charge of this special class, together with Teacher Marlen, who is an authority on magic.
Thank you for your cooperation.”

As soon as Teacher Neil said that, there was a rattling sound from the seat behind us as he stood up.

“Te, Teacher Marlen will!? I had given up on becoming his student when I heard that he had retired a few years ago and had no plans to come back…!”

When I turned toward the voice, I saw a boy with dark blue, soft, cat-like hair wearing bottle bottom glasses, his cheeks flushed, and he was staring forward with a pleased look on his face.

“Ah~ ehrm… this is just fine, let’s start the introductions with you, shall we?”

When he realized that he was the center of attention because of Teacher Neil’s words, his face instantly turned blank and… he blurted out, “Ronnie Willard.
I’m here to study magic and magic tools.” That was all he said, and after he was seated, he stared forward with sparkles in his eyes, or rather, he was staring at Teacher Marlen.
He’s… kind of a strange boy, isn’t he?
Speaking of the Count Willard’s family, they must be a family that produced many powerful magic users.
I guess he must have been excited to see Teacher Marlen, an authority on magic, whom he admired.
It must be my imagination that I felt like he had the same air as Teacher Neil, I’m sure.

“Good, next one…”

Teacher Neil was not concerned about what Ronnie-sama was doing.
He was looking around to see who should introduce themselves next.
… I wonder if it’s the kind of thing that doesn’t bother him because he feels like they are the same kind of people?
