"Geroizen. Don't bother with that trash."

Just as Grazio was about to take the hand of the brownish-black-haired attendant and get up, Miriette used a levitation spell and floated out of the carriage and stopped him.

"Young lady Espine! It's n honor to see you."

Geroizen immediately stepped away from the red-haired boy and greeted the dark-haired girl with a deep bow...

...leaving Grazio in an even more embarrassing position...

"As for the long-awaited answer, Trashy-pest... I despise you like a piece of manure that stuck to the sole of my shoe because I simply know that you had to do with the disappearance of my attendant-to-be."

Then Miriette passed him, sparing him a single indifferent glance on her way to the dormitory's entrance,

"Not to mention that you have the guts to speak to me about an engagement that I have not accepted which honestly makes me want to kill you on the spot."

"B-but our families... HIIIIIH...!"

Young lady Espine explained her reasoning gracefully but young lord Victureo seemed keen to remind her of the circumstances they were in – a mistake that he soon regretted as he looked up at his supposed fiancee's face and almost pissed himself in fear when he saw her hair bristled like a forest of swords.

"Don't worry about that, I am aware of the rules and etiquette Trashy-pest. Therefore I will make your life so miserable that you will BEG your parents to officially break that foolish engagement before the year ends." *crack*

"!!!"

Miriette declared activating her enchantments and causing one of the crystal beads on her choker-like necklace to burst, making Grazio shiver in fear.

"Hmph."

The dark-haired girl scoffed and faced forward as if unable to look at the boy who was supposed to be her fiancee any longer and walked towards the door.

"Lady Burushi, I have to bother you for healing and detoxification."

On her way there, Miriette passed the dual attribute magician and her outrage that could have entered the dormitory a long time ago but very clearly waited for her to go there first, showing a lot of respect which was acknowledged by the request from the noble girl whose hair was slowly settling down.

"Of course, my lady..."

"Do not touch it, it was polluted by coming in contact with Trashy-pest's shirt."

Burushi immediately bowed and reached out her hand towards the index finger that Miriette was keeping straight and away from her body but the dark-haired girl shook her head and informed her about the reason for that.

"Hyper heal."

Without any additional questions, Burushi spread open her palm and cast a spell that caused the air around her and her patient to tremble and vibrate as if in a heatwave.

"It already disinfected your skin but if you want to get rid f the feel then I suggest..."

Burushi's voice was dry and matter-of-fact not suggesting that the girls knew each other before entering the Aspakeony Academy... in the previous timeline...

"Here, my lady."

Then, someone who actually didn't remember a thing joined the conversation – the white-as-snow Metavicero offered Miriette her handkerchief while bowing her head.

"Thank you, lady Metavicero. See you all in tomorrow's class."

Miriette took the handkerchief gracefully and immediately began wiping her index finger while walking away.

"Haaah... she is even scarier when she acts calm..."

After the door closed behind the dark-haired girl's back Burushi breathed out in relief and turned towards the red-haired boy who already stood up and was dusting off his clothes trying to keep a composed expression despite his face burning in shame.

Usually, the members of six great families liked to make a show during their first entrance to the Aspaekony Academy but for Grazio that turned out to be a shitshow instead of an actual display of grace and nobility.

He even got a public declaration that the girl he was engaged with him wanted the cancelation of their relationship. Funnily enough, the way she phrased it wasn't just random or fueled by anger.

She specifically said that she will make Grazio the one to beg his parents to break off the engagement.historical

It was a slap in Victureos face – they will regret making a decision.

In terms of the showy entrance, young lady Espine did one of the most memorable ones in the Academy's history and undoubtedly a lot of wind magicians present would be very busy reporting what they witnessed back to their families.

"Everyone, you probably don't know me, my name is Burushi Kallerontte."

All of a sudden, when the students that gathered to watch the newest arrivals were making a lot of noise exchanging comments, and either pitying or laughing at young lord Victureo's shame, the bond-haired girl turned towards the majority of the crowd and curtsied while introducing herself politely.

"Since today I am a first-year student but I will also work part-time in the nurse's office, so if anyone will feel unwell or hurts themselves during practice or training you will find me there after my lectures. I hope you will take good care of me as I will do my utmost best to do the same to you."

Burushi tilted her head and presented everyone with the most perfect heroine-like smile she ever managed to do, and complacent with the immediate effect that it caused she turned around to finally enter the dormitory building.

Geroizen, Metavicero, and Hachiko all followed her but the whole group was then held back because someone was exiting the building at the perfectly wrong moment.

...and judging who showed up, it might not be either bad luck or an accident...

Two short brown-haired girls walked out and stood in Burushi's way.

The girl on the left was wearing a female school uniform and the girl on the right was wearing a male school uniform. Both of them had a silver badge of a half-opened flower halfway to bloom, a mark of the second-year students in the Aspakeony Academy.

"..."

"..."

Both of them openly glared unfriendly at Burushi as if there was no one else there.
