Okay, here's the translation:

"By the way."

"This time, Latia took a gamble."

"Her friends couldn't help but be amazed by Latia's gambling spirit."

"Failure would mean losing the bet as is."

"Yet, the target Latia chose was..."

"Damn it. Damn it. Damn it..."

"Dennis Fionn, the mental magic training assistant."

"Liber, who had just made a monkey do a somersault, approached Davian and Luna."

"Do you think Latia can do it? She hasn't slept all week, it seems."

"Luna nodded."

"I've never seen Latia so haggard. But she's still pretty..."

"As Liber and Luna said."

"Latia was focusing on casting her mental magic with hollow eyes."

"Davian stared intently at Latia."

"'Is she actually going to succeed?'"

"No matter how fast Latia's growth has been this time around."

"There are only a few people throughout the entire academy who can cast mental magic on humans."

"Of course, Liber Specular is one of those few."

"'Let's say Liber is a special case. If Latia succeeds with this too, then you're really...'"

"A determined one."

"Latia had been poring over books without sleep even before the bet with Karin was made."

"She must have already recognized Karin as a rival in her heart."

"Some days, she even showed up to morning classes with sleep crust in her eyes, as if she hadn't even washed her face."

"Of course, a small sleep crust couldn't hide Latia's beauty."

"Then."

"Thump."

"Dennis Fionn took a step forward."

"Thump."

"This time, he turned to the right."

"Thump."

"He moved jerkily like an improperly assembled skeleton."

"But he was moving according to Latia's will."

"Liber grabbed Davian's shoulder and jumped up and down."

"Woah! Latia! You did it!"

"Luna also clapped her hands and rejoiced."

"Amazing! Latia!"

"Thump."

"On the side Dennis was walking towards, jerkily."

"Karin Ovelia was standing with a blank look."

"Thump."

"Dennis's right arm, having approached Karin, rose jerkily."

"He made an effort to fold each finger to make a fist."

"Then, he slowly unfolded his index finger again."

"The index finger pointed directly at Karin Ovelia."

"Dennis Fionn's mouth slowly opened."

"A monotonous voice flowed out."

"I...have...lost..."

"Thud."

"The secret project of the Royal Magic Department."

"Karin Ovelia collapsed on the spot."

"Liber and Luna jumped up and down excitedly."

"Latia, whose fatigue had reached its peak, closed her eyes and dropped her head while standing."

"Davian shook his head."

"'She's a determined one.'"


"A few days later."

"Elton Academy's Grand Auditorium."

"President Hugo, along with all the academy's professors, were sitting on the platform."

"Below the platform, students from all grades were lined up by grade."

"The announcer's voice echoed throughout the Grand Auditorium."

"―Davian Naone from the first year. Come forward."

"Davian, who was standing at the front of the first-year line, slowly went up to the platform."

"President Hugo Molton came out and stood facing Davian."

"The announcer's voice echoed again."

"―Award Certificate. The student above has played a leading role in preventing the Behemoth raid and has also made a significant contribution to exposing the spy sent by the Marino Empire, therefore, we present this award certificate. Elton Academy President. Hugo Molton."

"President Hugo personally handed over the award certificate."

"Ting."

"A notification sound only Davian could hear."

"====="

"[Item: Location Tracking Scroll]"

"―Rarity: ★★"

"―Tearing the scroll will send the user's location to Hugo Molton."

"====="

"'What, this isn't just an award certificate?'"

"Hugo Molton offered a handshake."

"Always carry this award certificate with you. If you encounter spies you can't handle, tear it immediately."

"'So that's what he meant.'"

"Davian bowed and answered."

"Yes."

"You didn't even ask what it was for."

"I think I have a rough idea."

"Indeed. You're smart, Davian Naone."

"Clap clap clap clap!"

"Thunderous applause erupted from the first-year line."

"Bellum, Liber, and Nubes were whistling and making a fuss."

"The second and third years only pretended to clap."

"The upperclassmen openly showed their discomfort."

"President's Award."

"You could tell the weight of the occasion just from the fact that everyone in the entire academy was gathered, as most events at Elton Academy were grade-specific."

"Gathering all the way up to the 7th-year seniors in the Grand Auditorium just to give an award to Davian."

"Of course, the upperclassmen weren't just showing their discomfort because they were annoyed by having to gather."

"The President's Award is given when someone has made a significant contribution to the academy's development or security."

"It's an award that's rarely given, only once every few decades. The last recipient before Davian was a 7th-year student who submitted a paper 27 years ago on 'The Correlation Between Magic Power and Inner Strength', which stirred up the academic world."

"They're giving the President's Award just for catching a few Behemoths?"

"I heard he didn't even catch them all by himself."

"There's a rumor that the President gave him some personal guidance too."

"What is it? Does he have some kind of connection?"

"President Hugo, who had given the award to Davian, stood on the lectern."

"This year's first year is having a more difficult year than any other class. When they went on an exploration to the northern ice plains, the Gray Witch awakened and they were almost wiped out. There was a bomb attack during the first-year performance at the festival. The friendly match with the Kanzar Academy also ended with scars left by President Probito's dark magic. And during this Summoning Exam, twelve Behemoths attacked through a pre-prepared large-scale magic circle."

"President Hugo looked around at all the students and then pointed to Davian."

"And here, Davian Naone, took the lead in protecting the safety of his classmates in all those incidents. If it weren't for Davian Naone. There might only be half, no, half of half of the first-year students left in this place."

"President Hugo's gaze returned to the front."

"And. Except for the Kanzar Academy incident I just mentioned."

"Inner force was loaded into President Hugo's voice, creating a strong resonance."

"It has been revealed that all of it was done by a spy group from the Marino Empire."

"Murmuring could be heard here and there."

"But the murmuring didn't last long."

"President Hugo's voice became even more powerful."

"Some of the magic students who lacked inner force and were weak-hearted stumbled backward or collapsed on the spot."

"Therefore. Our Elton Academy hereby declares war on the Marino Empire's spy group. Our academy's faculty will not hesitate to use any means to expose the spies. And. I swear in this place."

"As if for the spies in attendance to hear."

"A voice filled with ferocity echoed through the hall."

"If there is another attempt to harm the academy's students, I, Hugo Molton, will single-handedly charge into the Marino Empire's mainland and uproot the spy organization."

"A clear warning."

"Continental Swordmaster Hugo Molton's warning not to touch Elton Academy again."

"Only then did the upperclassmen understand why the entire academy had been gathered today."

"Not only the students from all grades, but all the professors and teaching assistants were gathered here."

"Hugo Molton had gathered all the academy's personnel in one place under the pretext of awarding the President's Award and then issued a warning."

"'If you're a spy. Either run away immediately or do nothing and stay still.'"

"And."

"They also understood how Davian had received the President's Award."

"If that first-year student standing there had stopped all the spy organization's operations in the midst of so many incidents."

"He deserved to receive the award."


"Saturday."

"Davian's Lodging."

"As usual on weekends, the Gray Bear Exploration Team was all gathered."

"I envy you, Davian. The President's Award."

"Isn't your career path completely guaranteed with just this one thing?"

"When you graduate, you'll be able to go wherever you want, whether it's the Magic Tower or the Guards. And with top-notch treatment."

"I'm jealous, Davian."

"Davian himself wasn't that interested in awards."

"Davian's head was full of other thoughts."

"'How will the main story change?'"

"Something that had never happened in the previous timeline."

"President Hugo Molton had personally declared war on the spy organization."

"'It seems they won't be able to move carelessly now.'"

"Or maybe the opposite."

"'Maybe they'll do something even bigger at once.'"

"Davian roughly organized his thoughts around that point."

"The main story would proceed anyway."

"Major quests that had appeared once would definitely appear again, either transformed into something else or at a different time."

"'No matter what happens to the story or the quests.'"

"All I have to do is develop the skills to overcome them."

"Davian himself had become stronger than ever before."

"And he would become even stronger in the future."

"Reliable friends he could trust his back to."

"Glacier Life Insurance."

"A marquisate and a count's family were desperate to help Davian."

"Then."

"Ding-dong."

"The doorbell rang."

"I'll go see."

"Mons walked over and opened the front door."

"A beautiful woman was standing outside the door."

"Mons! Long time no see!"

"Who...are you?"

"The woman stepped into the house without hesitation."

"Mons didn't even think to stop her because of her confident attitude."

"The woman patted Mons's arm."

"It's me, it's me. Sophie."

"Sophie?"

"Yeah! You really can't recognize me, can you?"

"Sophie laughed and spread her arms, spinning in place."

"How is it? I look like a completely different person, right?"

"Did you get everything redone?"

"Yeah! Do you know how much money it cost? I didn't know the wizards at the Royal Medical Center were so greedy. But they're really skilled."

"You do look like a completely different person."

"How is it? Did I get prettier?"

"I, I don't really know."

"Sophie stood on her tiptoes and brought her face closer to Mons."

"What do you mean you don't know! Look closely!"

"Mons pushed Sophie away."

"Go say hello to the young master."

"Tch, you're no fun."

"The next target was Davian."

"How is it? Davian? Did I get a lot prettier?"

"I don't know."

"Was it better before?"

"I don't know that either."

"What? How much money did I spend? Hey you! Big guy! How is it? Did your sister get prettier?"

"Nubes, who was staring blankly at Sophie, nodded."

"Yes! You are beautiful."

"Sophie laughed and sat down in an empty seat."

"That's right. How do I look to you, Teobury?"

"You're pretty, Sophie."

"Right? I guess it was worth spending the money."

"Davian asked."

"But why did it take so long?"

"Ah. I had to find the money I had hidden here and there. And make up a story. I was late because they don't let you have plastic surgery without a story."

"You must have framed an innocent person as a pimp and got them locked up in jail."

"What are you talking about! I framed someone who was really a pimp. Of course, I tempted him by giving his family enough money to live on for the rest of their lives."

"So. What's the plan for the future?"

"What plan?"

"You got your face redone. What kind of life are you going to live now?"

"What are you talking about? I told you everything before. I'm going to be a maid here."

"So why bother. You should live freely or plan revenge on your family."

"That's why I'm staying here."

"Sophie leaned her upper body towards Davian."

"Davian."

"Why."

"Those guys, they never let go of a target they've set their sights on. Failure in that organization means death. If they leave you alone like this, those who were involved in killing you will be as good as dead."

"Is that so?"

"Come to think of it."

"In the last timeline too."

"The spies from the Marino Empire were really persistent in tormenting Davian and the academy."

"Yes. So if I'm here, I'll keep running into them anyway. And someday I'll see their weaknesses."

"Was that the reason."

"If I get the chance. I'll make Obsess put as many magic bombs as possible into the mouth of the guy who burned down our village and took my family hostage..."

"Sophie's gaze went to the door leading to the backyard."

"I'm going to blow him up without a trace. With the magic bomb manufacturing technology he coveted so much. I don't mind if I get blown away with him."
