An opportunity?

"What in the hell is happening here…?"

Vaan blinked a few times as he glanced at the scene in front of him.

"Sir Vaan!"

"Young Master Vaan!"

"Please choose me, Sir Vaan!!"

"Hey! Why are you even here!? Do you think a 2nd Circle Mage like you deserves to enter the Ancient Ruins!?"

"Haah!? You aren't even a Mage, what the hell are you talking about!? Why would Young Master Vaan choose a Swordsman over a Mage? Go away! Make some space so that I can stand!"

"Why? Is your body too weak to stand here in this crowd? Are you worried that you might somewhat clash with some 'swordsmen' like me and might break some of your bones?"

"No, I am worried that I would get too annoyed and cast a spell and harm other students. I don't want to go to the Disciplinary Hall when the Academy just started."

"Heh, and you think others would just let you do that? Don't you think you would have your bones broken the moment you try gathering mana?"
