One day on the way to school—
"Rigel-kun! Good morning!"
"Oh, Testarossa. Morning."
Rigel returned the greeting.
There stood a single boyish beautiful girl.
It was Testarossa, belonging to first-year S-Class.
"You're energetic today too."
"Yeah! Rigel-kun, you look kind of sleepy?"
"Yeah… a bit sleep-deprived…"
Rigel answered while suppressing a yawn.
Looking at his state, Testarossa grinned.
"What were you doing? Studying? Or… secret special training?"
"Special training? What's that?"
"Isn't it? Because Rigel-kun… you registered for the Academy Martial Arts Tournament, right?"
"Ah, now that you mention it…"
Rigel nodded while recalling the academy event.
The Academy Martial Arts Tournament was… a school event held once a year.
"Academy Martial Arts Tournament, huh…"
The rules were very simple.
A one-on-one tournament.
The winner obtained luxurious prizes and tremendous fame.
Those placing high also obtained something close to that.
