Excursion Begin
Abduction. A mountain before they know it. Pyjamas sleep-wear. Just the clothes on their back. Here, where. Now, what time. Various things are going through the back of the students’ heads, but because there are all too many, it seems they can’t say anything.
And then, Lily, who, if it was always, would protest to the ill-natured Magician like a raging fire, is blinking her dark green eyes, looking terribly sleepy. She, who goes to bed punctually, down to the second, is weak at waking up unexpectedly, and she’s still blank now, the gears in her head unmoving.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Asch starts his explanation to the students.
“Now then, it’s not interesting if there’s not some kind of objective? Worry not, I have it prepared. Fufu……fufufufu……”
Nobody is worried about something like that. However, because Lily, who snaps onto it right away at times like this, is in a daze, the students are all unable to dampen the spirit of the ill-natured Magician whose tension is mysteriously high.
Mira, she took out a single encyclopaedia, from her enormous bag.
“Pietra Grass. It is a Magic Grass that grows in this Sirisasa Mountain; it is rare, and its price is extraordinarily high. If you sell it, you can build an extravagant mansion in the Capital Jezemaksiria”
The competent butler explains while holding up the encyclopaedia.
“Of course, I shall provide the same amount of reward if you find it. How is it? Everybody, are you motivated now?”
The ill-natured Magician, he spreads his arms out flamboyantly and proposes.
“Asch-sensei! Isn’t that, rude to us?” “Yeah. Do you think we will be tempted by money!?” “We are nobles, you know, do you understand that!?”
A barrage of opinions from the students altogether. ‘Don’t make a fool out of us’. ‘We’re not that vulgar’.
“……then, you don’t need――”Everybody! But, we can get an extremely valuable experience if you think about it, rightt”
The honour student young girl, Jispa, desperately interrupts the ill-natured Magician’s words. By the way, she’s the daughter of a low-class noble, and her family’s finances are extraordinarily unreliable.
“Well, it’s true that this place is a treasure cove of rare Magic Beasts and plants”
Miranda, who agrees prudently, is actually not a noble. She is of a commoner’s descent like Asch. Naturally, she’s living an extremely impoverished life, and she’s secretly working on the side and sending money to her parents’ home.
“……it’s true that it might be more enjoyable if there’s an objective like Sensei said. Isn’t that right!”
Dan, who shouted that, recently got a girlfriend. A necklace. A high-class necklace. A pearl necklace that suits her. A lovey-dovey boyfriend who wants that no matter what, he is.
Besides them, ten people who wavered at Asch’s proposal nestle to the three who carefully read the room and cast affirmative votes. And then, an atmosphere like it can’t be helped brewed from 20 people who somehow read the room.
In the middle of all that, what’s being focused on is Lily＝Schwarz’s course of action. The eyes of all the students focus on the can’t-take-a-hint beautiful young girl who can stand up to Asch face to face.
“Li-, Lily. Everybody, is looking over here”
Cis, who’s sitting beside her, shakes her.
“……nnn. As I……thought……Cis’ breasts are sof-……”
“Wai-……Lily……what are you……ah, don’t spread ther-……”
She clings to the agonising Cis and goes to sleep. The sleepyhead beautiful young girl, who loves her fluffy pillow, buries her face in the cleavage of her soft breasts in a blissful trance. ‘I found, a nice pillow’. An excursion-loving beautiful young girl who’s too excited and didn’t manage to have a good night’s sleep these three days. Her sleep is tremendously deep.
Asch, he plus 10 points to her grade, at Lily’s actions.
And then it’ll go according to how a portion of the greedy student intend if she, who leads the mass, isn’t around; it’ll be decided by voting. It was the start of the Pietra Grass search mission that the Dark Magician planned.
“Now then, it’s inefficient to search in this bunch, so we’ll form groups……me and Mira. Now then, line up in front of who you’d like”

Asch 0
Mira 40
“……”
A Dark Magician who still hasn’t gotten a grasp of his own lack of popularity and lack of trust, he is.
“Fuu……you people. You don’t get it. I’m the one who gives you your grades, you know? Of course, this excursion is subjected to it as well”
Hearing Asch’s scummy words, there were immediately movements in one person. Jispa it is. A diligent honour student young girl who wants to achieve good grades in this Hogner Magic Academy and get onto the path of the elite no matter what.
“Ooh……you huh. As I thought, I wouldn’t expect any less greed from the daughter of a low-class noble. Money, power. You’re going after it hard, aren’t you”
“……”
Humiliated, the diligent honour student young girl who’s about to slide right back to Mira’s side.
“Wa-, wait! I’m complimenting you. I’m complimenting you, you know! I’m complimenting you to the skies!”
Desperate.
An unpopular Magician, who desperately craves, for his impure one vote.
1 minute later
Asch 1
Mira 39
The crowd isn’t moving, at all. A Dark Magician who has acquired impregnable unpopularity, he is.
“……now then, we’ll leave the jokes at this. Well then, I’ll divide out the members”
“Eh! Aren’t the students choosi-……”
Jispa who jumped the boat to Asch’s side flusters. ‘Don’t mess with me’. ‘What did I endure the humiliation for’. ‘It’s meaningless, isn’t it’.
“……”
Because Jispa is an honour student, she doesn’t say anything. She doesn’t say anything, but she thinks.
‘Go to hell, you ill-natured worst teacher’
She didn’t bully Cis for many years for nothing. A young girl who harbours wicked thoughts in the shadows, she is.
“Well, don’t worry. You’re in my group. After that……the ones who had spoken out just now, Miranda-kun. Dan-kun. It’s because I commend your proactiveness. You guys are over on this side”
“……”
‘I didn’t want you to commend me’……was the strong feelings of the two.
“After that……Cis. You too”
“Me, me too!?”
“Of course. You’re my favourite after all”
“……”
The thoughts of the students, and then Mira, synced up.
‘Loli pervert teacher’
“Now then, how about we get moving while the noisy girl still isn’t awake. Well then, Mira. I’m counting on you”
“Understood”
“Well, it’s the first day after all. Let’s first go exploring variously, shall we”
The group of the Dark Magician, who says an all too inauspicious sentence to the students even though it should be a day trip excursion, disappeared deep into the woods.
