Then Liebe fell into the water.
Yuna said, "Let's go," and Liebe just went to the boat. After landing on the boat, Yuna said, "I was right to make you my successor."
Liebe said, "Yeah, you are. In a long time, I had to fight. It was my fault to hold back."
Yuna said, "If you gave it your 100%, I doubt there was any chance to win."
Meanwhile, Licht said, "Hey, fortune teller, looks like foresight failed."
The girl said, "It seems my assumption was mistaken," then she just walked away.
Alysa said, "Well, she is weird."
Licht said, "Yeah, but based on her magic, how did she see the future?"
Alysa said, "Well, she's weird — acting like a fortune teller despite just having a guess."
Licht said, "No, she really saw the future."
Alysa asked, "How could it be? Her foresight failed."
Licht said, "This battle has 3 outcomes — either victory, defeat, or a tie. Either way, we could have assumed it was a guess, but she said Liebe will win and the battle will last 5 minutes and 12 seconds. But her foresight was the exact opposite, and I checked — the battle lasted exactly 5 minutes and 15 seconds."
Alysa said, "So both her foresights failed?"
Licht said, "It's obvious. She gave us the hint — she really can see the future."
Alysa asked, "Why would she do that?"
Licht said, "She's warning us. It's a check and a warning. She might just be a tactician worth comparing to Liebe."
Alysa said, "Why are you so stuck on the 5 minutes 12 seconds? I know their magic powers — if someone said their battle would have lasted 10 days, it wouldn't be impossible. If someone said it would have ended in seconds, I wouldn't have disagreed. In between, there were at maximum about 863,999 guesses for how long the match would last — and her guess was correct. The chances for that are roughly 0.00036%."
Alysa said, "What makes you so sure then that she has future sight?"
Licht said, "I don't. I have 3 guesses for sure — either she has incredible luck, or she has partial future sight where she can see glimpses into the future, or she has perfect future sight where she can see perfectly into the future."
Alysa asked, "How does it affect us?"
Licht said, "If she is an ally, good. But if not, she will be a threat — and that's what she is telling us."
Alysa said, "Should we really be concerned?"
Licht said, "Yes."
Alysa said, "You really are his sword, huh?"
Licht said, "Yes, and I will tear down every weakness. And as his shield, it's your job to protect him from those same weaknesses."
Liebe returned and said, "So, how are you all doing?"
Licht said, "K, I guess."
Liebe said, "So, how was our little friend's future sight going?"
Licht said, "What, you knew?"
Liebe said, "For a pretty while. That day when we talked, she seemed a bit odd, so I did a bit of digging, and in the knighthood entrance exam, I was a bit suspicious."
Licht said, "Let me guess — in every field she got perfect grades where she just passed and weren't high?"
Liebe said, "Yes. Nothing too special — it's normal, a bit too normal. And after a bit of digging around, she is normal, yet everything about her is a mess. All her records — everything just enough to pass on the mark — and it's obvious her identity is forged."
Licht said, "So that's our opponent?"
Liebe said, "Yes. One who is obviously brought to kill me. She has Holy Light Magic, future sight — the perfect assassin — M. Grinberryal."
Alysa said, "How do you know so much?"
Liebe said, "I did a background check on her thoroughly."
Alysa said, "Wait, aren't you skipping a few steps?"
Liebe said, "No, I don't think so. Am I, Licht?"
Licht said, "You are slightly ahead, but not too far."
Liebe said, "Yeah, I'm on the right track."
Alysa said, "How are you so fast?"
Liebe said, "You read way too many light novels for your own good."
Licht said, "Yeah, stop reading so many erotic ones — it's rotting your brain. That's why you are a bit below the code."
Liebe said, "Seems about right."
Alysa said, "Not my fault you two check like psychopaths."
Liebe said, "Anyways, well, let's go to class — we are getting late."
Alysa said, "Oh yeah, our first class is with… well, Professor Obsidian."
Liebe said, "Niceeee. And unfortunately, for well-known planned, cheated, and foul-played circumstances, I and our mystery girl M. Grinberryal are in the same class, and our first class is with Mrs. Serena, and our class teacher is Mr. Obsidian himself."
Licht said, "Are you sure you are going to be ok without us — your sword and shield?"
Liebe said, "Yeah, no worries."
Licht said, "And our class teacher is Mrs. Sarena."
