Editing Failing Witch:Volume1 Episode3 (section)

How long had it been?

Myousou Yagoro stared up into the night sky from the window of Carraway Cs Prep School’s structure building.

He could see an occasional flash of light from the windows of the old meal center, forming a towering diagonal fan shape up above. The witches searching the interior were probably using magic.

“How long are you going to stay by the window? This is going to be a long night. I mean, they’re supposed to collect four numbers? Even if they can totally fly at supersonic speed, finding just four numbers in that giant labyrinth has to be hell. That’s like clam digging over a space of 10km or more.”

“Now this is a surprise, don’tcha think, Schanze? You don’t normally wait for your students to return.”

“Don’t be stupid. Prep school instructors are totally required to be rescue personnel in case of emergency.”

Which meant she was paid for this part. And as long as she was getting paid, it was just like Schanze to actually obey that responsibility no matter how dangerous it got.

“And this is only a practice exam. The real exam is ''so much worse'', isn’t it?”

“Yeah.”

What was going on in there? There had to be a lot of things wandering that abandoned building and the students could try to sabotage each other as well. Their task was to collect four numbers. There would be baseless misinformation going around and some girls might try writing fake numbers on the wall.

Their lives were at risk.

Even if the witch responsible only saw it as a harmless bit of sabotage, it could lead to a serious injury.

“So it has finally begun,” said an old man with a bald head and bushy white beard who had appeared at some point.

Even Yagoro had failed to notice his arrival.

He wore the thick robe that was seen as a symbol of the educated class in this world, but he was a man. It seemed strange for a man to be headmaster of a witch school, but this was a prep school. Running one of those required business acumen more than magical knowledge and skills.

Plus, everyone was focused out the window at the moment.

“I so wish I could do this for her,” said Yagoro.

“Same. Assuming they would totally pay me extra of course☆”
