When I returned to the room, I saw Shenli's back as she gazed out the window.

"Is something wrong?"

When I asked, Shenli turned around. Her eyes were filled with tears.

"Mr. Aoi, I... I have to go home."

She whispered this with a trembling voice, tears streaming down her face.

"Go home...?"

"Yes... My family, the Rosenstiel family, was ennobled because they produced a holy maiden in the past. Since then, they have consistently produced top-tier healing mages. However, I don't have the talent for healing magic."

As she said this, Shenli averted her gaze.

"…After entering the magic academy, even after more than two years, I couldn't use healing magic. To avoid disgracing the Rosenstiel family, I was transferred to the Fidic Academy. Even though I was once abandoned and transferred to Fidic, I suddenly received a message telling me to come home... They even seemed to know that I was at the Holy Capital Magic Academy."

"…It sounds like you're being treated as if not being able to use healing magic makes you a failure."

When I expressed my thoughts on Shenli's story, she turned back with a smile that I had never seen before, a hollow one.

"That's how it is in the Rosenstiel family. Even though we are viscounts, our territory is not large, and we are not wealthy. Therefore, we need the most highly regarded healing mages in Mapleleaf."

At her words, I tilted my head and opened my mouth to speak.

"…Do you know the standards for transferring to Fidic Academy?"

When I asked, Shenli blinked.

"I, I don't know."

I nodded at her honest answer and replied.

"If a student from Mapleleaf wants to transfer to Fidic Academy, I asked the principal if it would be allowed. The principal said that the minimum requirement is to be able to handle the level of classes at Fidic Academy. For the elementary division, it means being able to use at least two basic magic spells, for the middle division, at least one intermediate magic spell, and for the high division, at least two intermediate magic spells."

Incidentally, in other academies, intermediate magic is something students learn in the high division. If a student understands magic quickly, they might learn two or three intermediate spells, or even advanced magic, but this is rare.

In contrast, at Fidic Academy, most students learn advanced magic by the time they graduate. Even if they can't, they need to be able to use intermediate magic to a level that is considered sufficient for a mage, or to create original magic.

The difference between Fidic and other academies is quite significant.

In such a situation, Shenli transferred to the middle division and then advanced to the high division a year early, which means she skipped a grade. She consistently achieved excellent grades in the middle division and was respected by other students.

In the high division, she stood out so much that she was bullied, but that was also because of her talent in magic.

Shenli was never a failure.

"If you were in a country other than Mapleleaf… no, even in a family other than the Rosenstiel family, you would have been recognized as an excellent mage."

When I told her this, Shenli clasped her hands in front of her chest and smiled wistfully.

"…Thank you. I'm glad I met Mr. Aoi… But, I have to go home."

Seeing Shenli say this with a sad expression, I decided to change my plans.

"…I understand. As a noble's child and a daughter, I can understand the feeling of not being able to go against your parents' wishes. Then, I will try to persuade your parents."

"Eh? A, are you going to my house…?"

At my words, Shenli blinked and her expression turned anxious.

"Don't worry. No matter how stubborn your parents are, they will understand if I persuade them sincerely. Leave it to me."

I answered and clenched my fists in front of my chest, a gesture of determination.

However, Shenli's brows furrowed even more in worry, and her mouth opened and closed several times.
