???: Hey, you!
Jessica: ♪~♪~
???: Are you kid...
???: Hey! Can't you hear me?!
Jessica: Hmm? Who are you?
A hasty shade of gold sweeps past her.
The next moment, something bumps into her.
Jessica: Whoa!
Matilda: Ah, ahem... so you...you are new here.
Jessica: Yes, I'm "studying" here.
Jessica: Are you a new friend? I've never seen you before. You must have come here after me.
Matilda: Ha, as if Ms. Bouanich would be the junior to a little deer!
Matilda: But... You are the person that Sonetto keeps coming back to visit. You! What's so special about you...
Jessica: I know Sonetto, but she never mentioned a friend like you.
Matilda: What?!
Matilda: Listen! I'm Matilda Bouanich, the Top 3 student in school, the monitor assistant, and the speaker of graceful French.
Jessica: Okay, Matilda.
Jessica: Are you also here to listen to the stories told by those smileless people?
Matilda: Stories? No! How is it possible that I would be locked in here with you people!
Matilda: As a matter of fact, I have come to instruct you.
Matilda: Ahem, listen!
Matilda: The best student could only be me. I will definitely …
Jessica: Oh! So you're my new friend then!
Matilda: Friend?! No way ... whoa!!
Matilda: Let, let me down! Gosh, I'm not used to this height! Put me down, now!!
Invite 2
Matilda: You! What is wrong with you?!
Matilda: "Arcanists mostly harness their gnosis through Squirrel 3"?!
A piece of exam paper is almost scrunched up and disappears in Matilda's grip.
Matilda: How can you fail at such a simple question...
Jessica: Hmm? Anything wrong?
Jessica: Squirrel 3 is an outgoing boy. I'm sure it can always help with whatever I need.
Matilda: ...
Jessica: Matilda? Is something wrong with your stomach? You look pale.
Matilda: Urgh... Don't look at me like this with your puppy-dog eyes!
Matilda: Oh, we are so at a dead end... Introduction to Arcane Skills is nothing but a bound volume of chewable papers for you... Not to mention Ethics, oh, Ethics...
The book with indigo cover is suddenly opened rudely.
Matilda: Jessica, listen, what would you do if someone offered you help?
Jessica: Well ... I'll invite them to my cave and get them the softest bed!
Jessica: Then I'll shut the stone gate closed so they won't run away. If I still have time after that, I'll tie their hands and legs, but of course I'll be careful in case I break their bones ...
Matilda: No! It could have been simple! Just say thanks!
Matilda: I can't believe this... Then, what if, what if someone took something away from you?
Jessica: Hmm ... I'll just give it to them and invite them to my cave ...
Matilda: ...
Matilda: Why? Why on earth will you do that?!
Matilda: Why do you have to keep people in your cave?!
Jessica: Hmm? What's wrong about that?
Matilda: Sighs
Matilda: I can see it now. You are making fun of me.
Matilda: They told you to make fun of me, right?!
Jessica: Your voice is too loud, Matilda. My smileless friend said you won't get the canteen's soup if you don't keep it down.
Jessica: Soup is a kind of delicious food. You must have never had it, huh? Shall I get you some later?
Jessica: Hmm? Do you have a fever, Matilda? Your face is blushing.
Jessica: Matilda?
Matilda: I, I...
Matilda: You can figure this all out by yourself! I'm out.
Jessica: ...?
Invite 3
Matilda: Aggrieved sobs She doesn't understand anything...
Matilda: Even if ... even if it has been clearly stated in her file that she has never been educated, and her mind is almost like a child's mind... She shouldn't have made fun of me! I'm done with her!
Her leather shoes stomp on the floor, absolutely and strongly, like the owner's determination.
Matilda: Perhaps I was a bit impulsive ... but I wasn't wrong! She is stupid enough to get herself into this ...
Matilda: Hmph, that stupid girl ... She's gonna be in great trouble without Ms. Bouanich's help!
Matilda: ...
Matilda: How forgiving I am! Putting away the grudges so quickly!
Matilda: This is ... not some apolog... She's the one who should apologize!
Jessica: Fabulous! You're here again! I thought you were not coming today.
Matilda: Ahem... I, I'm here to accept your apology.
Jessica: Apology?
Jessica: What is an apology?
Matilda: You! Hmph ... just say ... hmm...
Matilda: Just bow to me and say it out loud! "I'm sorry, please accept my apology and forgive me, gracious Ms. Bouanich"!
Eyes shut, face blushing, Matilda shouts out the words with considerable intensity.
Jessica: Hmm?
Jessica: Is this ... a game?
Matilda: Hmph, I knew you wouldn't do as I said. In this case, I can still show my tolerance…
Jessica: I-I'm sorry.
Matilda: ...!
Jessica: My bad. The graceful Ms. Bouanich. Forgive me.
Matilda: You!
Matilda: How come ... you won't be embarrassed... This sounds more embarrassing than I thought...
Jessica: ...? Did I say it wrong? It's "gracious Ms. Bouanich," right?
Matilda: Whoaaa!
Matilda: Sto...stop saying that!
Jessica: Hmm?
Jessica: You are weird. I said it right but you don't seem to be comfortable with it at all. Why?
Invite 4
Matilda: Jessica, I have prepared you a test, don't worr...
Matilda: !!!
Matilda freezes, processing what she is looking at with great effort.
Matilda: You!
Matilda: Sonetto?! What are you doing here?
“Sonetto”: ...
Matilda: Wait, wait, wait!
Matilda: Sonetto, what...what are you going to do?
Matilda: It's too close.
“Sonetto”: Matilda.
Matilda: Yes, I am!
Matilda: No, why would I say that...
Matilda: Stop, don't get any closer!
Matilda: Whoaaa...!
“Sonetto”: Matilda, why are you so nervous today?
“Sonetto”: You mentioned her a lot...
“Sonetto”: So I thought you would be happy to see Sonetto.
Matilda: Emm... I... I...
“Sonetto”: But you don't seem happy.
“Sonetto”: Wow, your ears are so red. Are you ill?
Matilda: Stop making fun of me, Sonetto!
“Sonetto”: Ah ...!
Jessica: Hmm ... She got even more weird today ...
Jessica: What's this?
The pile of books brought by Matilda has been kicked down and scattered around on the floor. In the ruins, a stack of paper shows itself.
Jessica: Matilda dropped it ...
Jessica: Quiz Answers ...?
Invite 5
Matilda: Now I know what happened the other day. Don't pull a prank on the instructor again! Understand?
Matilda: Ahem... Let's put that aside. Now it is time for us to see how well I ... YOU have been doing in class!
Matilda: This is the quiz I have prepared for you! The questions are all from Societal Level Preliminary Test A-001 (revised ed.), which means you will find the questions designed from different angles in here, and they could be challenging!
Jessica: Oh! I've seen these sentences before!
Matilda: Really?
Matilda: This is terrific! But of course you would memorize all these with the help from the great genius Matilda!
Matilda: I will give you 15 ... no, 45 minutes to finish all the questions! Let's find out what a great instructor I have been!
Matilda: Ohhh!
Matilda: This is my girl... Passing the exam with flying colors!
Matilda: Ha... Matilda can do everything perfectly, including teaching! This has better proven that I was just unlucky to lose 3 points to Sonetto in that exam back then!
She complacently pats on the red ticks on the exam paper.
Jessica: Back then?
Matilda: Oh, that was an exam on A Brief Introduction to Strategy. I got one multiple-choice question wrong...
Matilda: How did Sonetto manage to get full marks in every exam?
Matilda: I even prayed to that "Man in Books" in the library... Turns out it was just a scam!
Matilda: One boring, stupid mirror! "Pray, then you can pass the exam with full marks"—that kind of thing ... It was just a mirror filled with cheat sheets!
Matilda: Hmph. But I have also put my full marks exam paper into that dumb mirror...
Matilda: I'm a much better model than some random rumors!
Jessica: Oh, that's what happened!
