Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume3 Chapter1 (section)

===Part 2===

Areishia Spirit Academy.

It was a development school that trained noble girls, who were gathered from all over the empire, into fully fledged elementalists.

The school building was like a fortress, furnished with solid ramparts. This academy, which included the continent's largest Spirit Forest and Mine Town within its vast territory, was just like a small independent country.

"...Sigh, he doesn't change, that lad."

As she looked down at the boy's appearance of fluttering in midair from the second floor of the dormitory—

The Academy's headmistress, Greyworth Ciel Mais, made a small sigh.

<!--31-->
Her ash-blonde hair was gently waving. Her grey pupils extolled sharp discernment.

She definitely could only be seen as a bewitchingly beautiful lady from her outward appearance, but she was once the head knight of the {{Furigana|twelve-knight-commanders|Numbers|margin=12}} that were boasted as the empire's strongest.

During the Ranbal war, she was the legendary elementalist, the Dusk Witch that both friends and foes feared.

"Even though there's only a few weeks till the opening of the Blade Dance, how carefree."

They seemed to have added the former second princess, Fianna, into their team and were gradually raising their ranking, but— they still had not gathered five teammates.

"Nevertheless—"

The figure of a person appeared from Greyworth's shadow.

"Calamity Queen's sister with former second princess who lost her Queen qualification. Even within my superior problem child gathering class, they are a very peculiar group."

It was a woman with black hair and a white robe put over her suit.

Elementalist—Freya Grandol. Raven Class' teacher-in-charge.

"Headmistress, you seem to be pretty attached to him."

"That's right, after all, he's the one and only male elementalist in the continent."

Freya turned a strict gaze towards Greyworth, who shrugged her shoulders to dodge the question.

"Kazehaya Kamito... Who on earth is he?"

"Oh, did you also fall in love with that lad?"

"Sorry, but I do not have an interest in younger ones."

Freya shook her head, and Greyworth smiled, seemingly happy.

"Hmm... So, what information do you have for me?"

"We caught hold of information that the traders of {{Furigana|Corpse Federation|Murders|margin=12}} sneaked into Academy Town. They're probably trying to sell curse-binding seals to students just before the Blade Dance."

"What an annoying bunch. Order Ellis' Sylphid Knights to reinforce the security."

"Yes, there's another thing—"

"Uh?"

"Velsaria Eva has returned to the academy."

Greyworth slightly raised up her eyebrows.

"Haa, she completed the subjugation quest of a archdemon-class spirit in just a few weeks. As expected."

"Yea, she is without a doubt the ''academy's strongest elementalist'' at this point in time— So far, she had been doing the quests completely without assembling a team, but she would also have to recruit members to participate in the Blade Dance. She seems to be someone who would be at the top amongst the three participating."

"Well, I wonder about that?"

Greyworth smiled, seemingly amused, as she glanced towards the outside of the window.

Kamito was over there, being chased by Ellis' demon wind spirit and was frantically running from place to place.
