TEASER
Volume 4 Chapter 3.3
Rampage at the Martial Arts Garden Part 3
After the morning
classes and lunch, Nozomu headed to the training ground with Mars, Jin, and the
others. He was already familiar with Jin and the others, not only because they
had worked together during the Special Comprehensive Exercise, but also because
of the incident in the classroom this morning.
However, when Nozomu
and the others arrived at the training ground, they all tilted their heads in
puzzlement.
The instructor was not
in the training ground where the practical training class was scheduled to take
place, but instead a large sign was standing in his place.
"Hmm, what's
this? A notice of change of location for the joint class?"
"Let's see......
the location is, Martial Arts Garden? Why there?"
Nozomu and the others
tilted their heads when they saw the notice.
The Martial Arts
Garden is the largest training facility at Solminati Academy. It is a huge oval
coliseum, with enough space in the central arena for all the students of one
grade to gather.
In addition, the arena
is surrounded by staircase-like spectator seating that can accommodate several
thousand spectators.
This is because the
Martial Arts Garden was built as a place for students to showcase their martial
arts and magic demonstrations to guests not only from outside the school but
also from outside the city. Therefore, this facility is used only when the
academy makes a big campaign. It is not a facility that is normally used for
practical classes with other classes.
"Well, all we can
do is go there for now, right?"
Nozomu and the others
nodded at Mars' words, and they all moved together to the Martial Arts Garden.
When they arrived, many students had already gathered. The number of students
gathered in the central arena was several hundred.
"Oi-oi, look, it
seems that all three grades have gathered here."
"We just finished
a Special Comprehensive Exercise, and they're already holding an event
involving the entire school year?"
"Also, look at
the spectator's seats."
The third graders were
not the only ones in the Martial Arts Garden. In the spectator's seats sat
first and second graders, who were juniors, and fourth graders, who were
seniors. The students of Ecross, an affiliated school, were also there. In
addition, there were about 30 people dressed in various, but extravagant,
outfits.
"Why are there
underclassmen here? Are they here to show off?"
"No, then it's a
little strange to have outsiders here. And judging by the way Anri-sensei is
behaving, it doesn't seem that way......."
Nozomu pointed to the
other side of the Martial Arts Garden, right across from the center, as he said
this to Deck and the others who were voicing their concerns. There, Anri, the
10th-class homeroom teacher, was waving her hand with a big smile on her face.
Beside her were Jihad, the school's principal, and Inda, his assistant.
Anri is a
student-oriented person who treats the lowest class, Nozomu and the others,
with kindness and equality. Looking at her, there is no sign of aversion or
avoidance toward this training.
This is just a teaser.
