Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"...Wow! I didn't expect that we could get in so easily. We are so lucky! Don't you think so, Shinji..."

Shirou entered the academy area and happily talked with Shinji. He had been thinking about calling Rin over to explain, but unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to avoid the guards at the door!

"Yeah...it's really easy..."

Shinji replied in a subtle tone.

"So... do you want me to show you around here?"

“That’s not necessary.”

After all, for places you have already seen, the novelty has long faded.

For him now, a world without magic, without battles everywhere, and without any supernatural powers would feel fresh to him.

And this is nothing more than a magic school.

"No? Then let's go and meet up with Rin and the others! They should be..."

"No... I want to see this place by myself, so Shirou, go find Rin and the others first, I'll follow later."

"Eh!? Wait a minute..."

Shirou looked at Shinji in surprise, but before he could continue, the other party jumped away and disappeared.

"..."

This guy moves too fast...

"Oh! Never mind. If it's Shinji, there shouldn't be any danger. I can call them even if I get lost."

It looked like he had to go find Rin alone.

......

Just as Shinji and Shirou flew away, Rin and Sakura, who had already arrived on the other side, met another unexpected person.

"..."

"..."

Toosaka Rin, who had let go of her crutches, and Luvia, who was wearing invisible gauze, met again at the corner of the corridor.

As the saying goes, enemies are jealous of each other when they meet. The two of them were also enemies. They had just had a fight today, but they met again in the evening.

"...Oh my~ Isn't this Miss Toosaka? What's that thing on your face? I didn't hit you, did I?"

When she heard the sarcastic voice in her ears, Toosaka Rin frowned. She didn't expect that she would meet this guy at this time.

She secretly clenched her fists behind her back. Although the other party's naughty look made her want to beat him up, she was in a really bad state today.

So the wisest decision at the moment is to temporarily avoid it...

Thinking of this, Rin pulled Sakura back directly, but what she didn't expect was that Luvia was sticking to them like a dog-skin plaster!

"Don't be so anxious to leave. Rin, don't you want to introduce this new classmate next to me?"

"There's nothing to introduce... It's impossible for someone like you to find friends anyway."

"..."

After she finished speaking, the expression on Luvia's face froze for a moment. The joy she originally felt because the gauze under her clothes was not discovered by the other party was now shattered by the other party's direct words.

You have to know that she has always appeared in public as a perfect young lady. Whether in terms of talent, appearance or the way she does things, she is the best in the family.

With her elegant manners, graceful words and phrases, and swan-like beauty, she was a flawless person—until Toosaka Rin appeared in front of her...

This disguise was ruthlessly torn apart.

Luvia and Toosaka Rin, the two eldest daughters of the family.

Not only do they both have a pride that won't tolerate failure, they both use gem magic and are studying under the monarch El-Melloi II at the same time.

The many similarities between the two destined them to be competitors. It was after Luvia met Toosaka Rin that she began to gradually reveal the side of herself that was hidden beneath the perfect young lady.

Being mean, vicious...even directly fighting without any courtesy in front of others, all these happened after they met each other.

So in her heart, Rin is also a very special existence, which makes her want to tease him as soon as she meets him, and she enjoys it...

So what Lin said was not wrong about having no friends. As someone who wore a mask all the time, she naturally wouldn't have any close friends, although she didn't care about it.

But if these words were spoken by Rin, and if she was with Sakura, who seemed to be very close to her, then the damage to her pride would be even greater...

"...Hehe, it turns out that Ms. Tousaka, who has a head full of muscles, also has friends. But I don't think I've heard that there are people from the Matou family in the Clock Tower?"

"...!"

Hearing this, Toosaka Rin turned around and looked at the other person alertly...

How could it be exposed so quickly?

Maybe other people noticed it too...

"What are you talking about? She is just a follower who came with me. There is no rule that prohibits bringing more followers."

"Oh? Really? If he's really a follower, then it's fine. But if not... then he's helping an alien magician sneak into the Clock Tower, which is no small matter..."

"Tsk! What on earth do you want to do?"

Seeing the emotion on Rin's face, Luvia immediately became happy again, raised her hand to throw her golden curly hair behind her, and said casually:

"I just wanted to make up for the missed classes today because of you, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this. It's too bad..."

"..."

Toosaka Rin's eyes became fierce, and from her tone, it seemed that she had clearly confirmed the identities of Sakura and the others before she said that.

As for the delayed classes? No one would believe it!

Luvia looked at Lin's ugly face with great joy. Anyway, the more unhappy the other person was, the happier she would be!

As for what she said just now, it is of course not true. It was just an excuse of hers.

Her real purpose was to meet the head of the Matou family... The fact that Rin, such a proud girl, agreed to live in the mansion made her curious about what kind of magic power he had...

"How did you know this..."

"you guess!"

"..."

"Hahahaha! You're really like a little kid. You get angry at the slightest provocation."

"Tsk! If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Anyway, you have no evidence to prove that Sakura and the others are foreign magicians, and we have no intention of causing trouble..."

"Sakura, let's go."

"and many more!"

When Rin was pulling Sakura up and preparing to leave, Luvia suddenly stopped her and told her how she knew the truth:

"I know about this thanks to you. You actually brought outsiders into my house. Do you really think I don't know anything?"

Hmm? Is that so?

Lin was stunned...it seemed that she was overthinking.
