Yuri Drewes, personal magic tutor, at your service.

Wait, you're going to teach me magic, Grand Magus Drewes?

Would you rather it be someone else?

No, that's not what I meant.

It's just that I need to learn the most basic of basics.

Surely you're too busy to spend time teaching me that.

You needn't worry about that.

I wouldn't entrust this task to anyone but myself.

Why's that?

The Kingdom deems all knowledge of the Saint's abilities as state secrets.

As such, the Kingdom wants as few people as possible to know of her abilities.

But that's not the only reason.

I would like to do my own research into your magic power.

Though the "research" I speak of can be conducted while observing your casts,

so I won't need you to do anything special or out of the ordinary.

Are you willing to help me in that regard?

Sure, if that's all you need.

I look forward to learning all I can!

You're the Saint's personal magic tutor?

Why the-- Why you, Grand Magus?

Well, this will give me more time with her, yes?

I'm so very interested in learning more about her mysterious powers.

No need to glare at me so.

I'm just going to have her cast some spells for me, that's all.

Yuri Drewes: greatest mage in all the Kingdom and magical researcher.

He spends little time on that which doesn't hold his interest,

but the moment something does interest him,

he devotes himself entirely to learning everything about it.

No harm will come to her, you have my word.

I know you and your brother would have my hide if I did,

not to mention the rest of the Kingdom.

If only I trusted those words.

Now, then,

I'm sure you're tired of learning theory,

so let's do some practical exercises.

I hear you've received magic power from another caster before, yes?

Yes, one time at the Institute.

Then today, I'd like you to transfer power to me.

Could he back off?

Is something the matter?

N-No, sorry!

Transfer power from my hand...

Excellent. You've done it.

Could you please transfer a bit more now?

Huh? Okay, I-I'll try.

Right. I can do that.

Wow.

S-Ser Drewes?!

Oh, forgive me! Your power is so fascinating, that's all.

Huh?

What was with that weird grin?

As I'd expected, your magic power is quite unusual.

While it's aligned with the holy affinity,

it's also aligned with something completely different.

Do you think that "something" is the reason why my potions are so powerful?

I don't know enough to say yet.

But we'll figure it out as we go-- together.

If you get better at manipulating your magic power,

you will be able to cast much more quickly.

Let's do that again.

Okay!

Heal!

Could you do it a bit faster?

Um, I don't think I can do it as fast as you do at this stage, Ser.

You should be able to do it if you cast it exactly as instructed.

Why's he putting me through the wringer when I just learned how to do this?

I think I know why...

I'm already casting a bit slower than usual.

After I started getting lessons from the Grand Magus...

Every now and then, I'd stumble across a worrying scene...

The Grand Magus' training is apparently so intense,

even the Assembly's best and brightest admit defeat after a day's work.

So I'm sure he means it when he says he's going easy on me.

He must really believe that I can do it if I try.

Yet I still can't seem to do it right. C'mon, me!

I'm just gonna have to practice harder!

Yes?

Hello. It's been too long.

Y-Yes, it has been quite a while.

His smile is blindingly bright!

Come in. Johan has filled me in on all the details.

You'd like to practice your magic during our drills, I hear?

Yes.

I've only been healing myself in my lessons,

so I thought maybe I should practice casting in more practical situations.

I see.

We'd be honored to help you.

Thank you so much!

Have you lost weight?

Huh? O-Oh, no! At least, I don't think so!

H-H-He's touching me!

Grand Magus Drewes' lessons must be quite intense.

I do hope you aren't pushing yourself past your limits.

D-Don't worry, I'm not!

You're kinda pushing the limits of my heart right now, though!

Commander Hawke?

My apologies. I'm just happy to see you after your long absence.

Starting today, a healer will be assisting with our training exercises.

Think of it as a way to make our mock exercises even more realistic.

Lady Sei here will be providing the healing spells.

Many of you already know her from our past expedition or the hospital.

Those who don't, I can assure you of her prowess.

That is all! Begin the exercise!

Yes, sir!

Heal!

Excellent! You've made such progress.

Thank you, Ser!

You've improved far faster than I had previously anticipated.

Have you been practicing outside of our lessons?

J-Just a little.

What personal goals are you hoping to achieve?

Personal goals?

Well, I think I'm supposed to eventually accompany the Knights on expeditions.

Right?

You intend to join the Knights on expeditions, Lady Sei?

Wait, wasn't that why I've been doing all this practical training?

Was that not it?

That certainly wasn't my intent.

Th-Then why have you been training me so hard?!

One reason my lessons have aimed to develop your practical skills

is that I believe every mage should develop good control over their casts.

The other reason, as I mentioned before,

is because I wish to study your abilities and magic power.

Really!?

I mean, yeah, he did say that, but still!

Still, you're right, you may be asked to assist with expeditions in the future.

The Assembly has a few mages who can cast holy-attribute magic,

but none are as skilled with it as you, Lady Sei.

I can cast it as well,

but when I join expeditions, I assist with primarily offensive magic.

I expect the next expedition will take the Knights to the Western Woods.

Huh?

Don't worry.

I would accompany you on that expedition.

I'll ensure that no harm comes to you.

I will keep you safe.

Oh, geez. If he were any other guy, my heart would start racing.

But I know that sentence is missing "because I want to study you more."

I gotta get up...

Today is a "Lady Day."

Well, that's just what I call it, anyway.

On Lady Days, I spent the day learning about things like etiquette and dancing.

Good morning, Lady Sei.

"Lady"

All right, here we go.

Hang in there a little while longer.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

I've been wondering this for a while now,

but why do I have to get all dressed up for these lessons?

It's important that you get accustomed to wearing gowns like these.

One, two, three; one, two, three...

Keep that back straight!

My apologies. I didn't realize you hadn't finished.

My, Commander Hawke, how do you do?

Can we assist you with anything?

No, I just came to see how she's doing. Is it all right if I watch?

Of course! In fact, would you like to join us?

Huh?

It's good to practice with other partners every now and then.

Well, yes, but...

All right.

May I?

Okay.

Excellent dancing, both of you.

That will be all for today's lesson.

May I sit with you, Sei?

O-Of course!

I heard you've only been taking these lessons since the day you arrived here.

Yes, that's right.

That's incredible.

I couldn't dance half as well when I'd first begun learning.

I think my teacher rushed my lessons because it's nearly the social season.

That makes sense. There will be plenty of formal dinners in the Capital soon,

and I'm sure you'll be invited to a handful.

I'm not too fond of those social occasions, either.

Sei.

If you do choose to attend,

then I would like to join you as your date.

That sweet, sultry tone should be illegal!

They will invite me, though...

I don't really want to go, but there are probably a few I'll have to go to.

Sei?

Y-Yes?

Are you all right?

Sorry, I was lost in thought.

If you wouldn't mind joining me, then I'd love to have you as my date.

It would be my honor.

A tea party?

Indeed.

Your etiquette assignment for today shall be to attend that tea party.

There's no name on the envelope.

Miss Marie, whose crest is this?

That would be the crest of Marquis Ashley. His house is quite prominent.

And his daughter is engaged to Crown Prince Kyle.

Prince Kyle?

But why would someone so high-ranking invite me to a tea party?

Lady Sei, your guest awaits.

Liz?!

Thank you for coming to my tea party!

I didn't know you were the daughter of a Marquis!

Did I not tell you?

Oh, yeah, her last name's Ashley, isn't it...

You haven't been coming to the library at all as of late.

So when I heard from my teacher they were planning an assignment for you,

I was only too happy to help!

It smells wonderful!

I'm glad you like it!

So, I've been hearing many tales about the Lady Saint as of late.

The Lady Saint, you say?

Yes! She's quite adept at healing magic,

and she's saved the lives of quite a few of our knights.

O-Oh, wow, that's neat.

I also hear the knights regard her in such high esteem as to call her "goddess"!

Wow.

My, Sei, I didn't know you were so talented at magic.

You've only just learned to use magic since coming to our world, right?

That's right. We don't have magic where I'm from.

Wait, how long have you known that I was summoned here from another world?

From the very beginning.

I heard what hair and eye color the woman who was Summoned possessed,

and when I met you, it was easy to put two and two together.

That is how I identified the other girl Summoned, too.

You've met her?

Yes, she also attends the Royal Academy.

Is she in your class?

No, she's in the year above mine.

Oh.

I hope she's doing all right.

I suppose she is.

She doesn't seem to be of ill health, at the very least.

Do you remember why that classmate of mine from a while back was so troubled?

Right, there was that new student drawing the attention of her fianc�.

Wait, is that new student Aira?

We've tried to address the situation, but nothing's come of it.

Oh.

Has something occurred to you, Sei?

Well, the country that Aira and I are from--it's called Japan--

doesn't have the same customs as you have here.

Japan is a lot more socially relaxed.

For example, you remember how I used to use my skirt to fan my legs?

You got so upset with me.

In the same vein, she probably doesn't know

that making friends with young "taken" men isn't "proper."

Plus, having a fianc� when you're that young isn't normal in Japan, either.

I suppose you're right.

But you helped teach me what was acceptable.

Maybe if some of those boys explained the problem to her--

--I doubt they would. --Huh?

If there truly were such a gentleman in her midst,

then this wouldn't be a problem at all.

Wait... is your fianc� among those admirers?

Yes.

So that means your fianc� is...

Yes.

Prince Kyle.

Aw, man...

I hear he was terribly rude to you.

Sei, please allow me to apologize for his behavior towards you.

You don't have to apologize to me, Liz.

Yes, but still...

It's fine.

What he did wasn't your fault.

Sei...

Thank you.

So, tell me more about the Royal Academy! What are you learning there?
