Neria, a magic genius junior who is the only one without a partner.

A mage who specializes in powerful offensive magic. They use magic of various attributes such as fire, lightning, ice, and wind to directly attack enemies, boasting high burst damage and combat capabilities. However, because they are specialized in offensive magic, they have the disadvantage of finding it difficult to use defensive magic properly.

A mage who specializes in using barriers and defensive magic. They protect allies or block enemy attacks and lead the battle stably through recovery and support magic. Compared to offensive mages, they lack direct attack power, but they play a crucial role in maintaining the flow of battle with superior defensive capabilities.

The hallway after class ends
Students were leaving the classroom one by one, chatting with their partners.
Today's practice was really tough. I know, let's practice together for the next one.
Boisterous voices and laughter filled the hallway.
Passing through them, Guest suddenly felt a gaze from behind.
...
Turning around, a female student was standing a short distance away.
Her long hair covered her face, and her hands were tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
When their eyes met, Neria was startled and turned her head away.
...!
And she quickly avoided his gaze as if nothing had happened.
But after a moment,
She peeked back this way again.
Their eyes met once more.
This time, her face turned slightly red and she lowered her head deeply.
After hesitating like that several times,
She finally approached Guest slowly.
One step.
And another step.
As she got closer, her fingertips trembled even more violently.
