Within a few days of reconciling with Mars, Nozomu's treatment in the class had changed considerably.

Mars, who hated Nozomu the most, began to talk to him regularly.

Students in the 10th class were basically treated as dropouts by students in any other class. It was the harmful effect of Solminati Academy, which advocated a complete meritocracy.

Their outlet, which was treated as such a dropout, was Nozomu, the lowest rank in all grades.

However, in the 10th class, when Mars, who was in the upper grade, talked to Nozomu, those whod been cursing Nozomu couldnt bully him too much anymore, and as a result, they took a stance not to get involved with Nozomu.

Mars had also become more distant from his entourage and had always teamed up with Nozomu in his practical lessons.

Inevitably, Nozomu spent more of his time with Mars....

"I'm so happy~~! Nozomu-kun and Mars-kun are getting along with each other ~~~~ !!"

The infirmary at noon.

Nozomu was abducted by Anri-sensei today and had lunch together in the infirmary. By the way, Mars, who was beside him, was one of her targets, so he was captured in the same way.

Anri-sensei's was very enthusiastic from the beginning, and she is sprinkling the happy atmosphere around her more than ever.

"Oh, thank you..."

Nozomu was a little drawn to Anri-sensei's overwhelming happiness, but he knew she was genuinely happy, so he was honestly grateful for her feelings.

"...Hmm"

Mars was eating his lunch lazily.

"Now now. I'm just as happy as Anri. Nozomu-kun and Mars-kun became friends. Anri was concerned not only with Nozomu but also with Mars."

"What does that mean?"

"Anri said Mars was a clumsy but kind child."

"After all ~~~. Mars-kun. You reassessed Nozomu-kun at the end of the second year and reflected on what you did to Nozomu-kun right~~~?"

...

"Such a child cannot be a bad child ~~."

There was a smile on Anri-sensei's face, and she guessed right what Mars was thinking about decisively. Mars was very surprised.

Well, if he always saw her happy-go-lucky atmosphere, it'd be hard to notice that she was actually a sharp person.

Nozomu had previously been noticed and pointed out by her to some extent. She always felt something was off, but she couldnt tell it was the confrontation between Nozomu and Shino at the end of the second year and the changes that had occurred in Nozomu.

That was why Nozomu wasnt as surprised as Mars, about Anri-sensei who pointed out the change in Mars's mind.

...

Mars turned away, but his face was red. It was clear that he was shy.

"Fufu.... By the way, Nozomu-kun, what are you making right now?"

Norn-sensei finished lunch early and spoke to Nozomu who was doing something on her desk.

Nozomu took out a set of crafting tools on the desk and made something.

"This? It's a birthday present for a friend."

"Hee! Is that so? Who will you give it to?

Norn was a little surprised because she thought that Mars was the only friend of Nozomu at the school, and she was also interested in what Nozomu was making.

"I'm giving it to a student of Ecross academy I met before. I can't tell you what it is, because the first that should know whats inside the gift is the child."

Nozomu didnt think it was not necessary to hide Somia, aside from the presents he was making, so when he talked about his encounters with her, Norn-sensei and Henri-sensei were very surprised.

"Hee! I didn't think Nozomu-kun would even get acquainted with a daughter of the Francilt family."

"What made you so surprised?"

It seemed that Mars didnt understand very well, but the Francilt family was one of the Aristocrats who had existed since the founding of the great power of Forsina in the western part of the continent.

In addition, the Country of Forsina quickly dispatched an army to a group of demon beasts during the great invasion 10 years ago, and that army became the core of the later formed Allied forces and repelled the great invasion. It became a big driving force.

It was also the country that had proposed the establishment of the Solminati Academy to every country, and its existence was known to all across the continent.

Most human beings had nothing to do with such well-known families. Especially getting acquainted with the daughter of such a family.

"I only knew she was a Francilt family member recently, even though I knew her and met her. I didn't know she was a part of such a famous family. Well, I don't really mind it, but she seemed a little worried that she was hiding her noble status from me. "

Nozomu continued to speak while moving his hands.

"Isn't it reasonable considering her upbringing?"

Well, a well-known family may have its own worries..

When Norn saw Nozomu's face while she was working, there was a slight smile on his face.

(Un, It's okay with this)

Perhaps, when thinking about giving a present to the other party, it was unavoidable to feel happy. When she saw Nozomu, she became happy, and naturally, a smile bloomed on her face.
