It happened suddenly.
Gerhard, who became responsible for the commercial expedition, applied for field training and left the academy a few days early for preparation.
Naturally, he didn't attend classes, which meant Luina had lost her partner for the time being.
"..."
This time, since Gerhard had explained the entire situation, she wasn't feeling upset or angry like before.
However, it did make classes a bit difficult.
Given the academy's characteristic of having perfectly matched numbers, finding a temporary partner when one disappeared was an impossible task.
"Aron."
"Yes, Professor."
At the call of Professor Rosalia, who was in charge of "Combat, War, and Magic," an assistant affiliated with her research lab stepped forward.
Messy brown hair that half-covered his eyes, gloomy eyes, and slumped shoulders. Not exactly a great first impression.
"You'll be Luina Berchef's partner for the time being."
"Me?"
"Just match your level appropriately to a second-year standard."
