Adventurers' Academy Opening Ceremony
"Next is a message from the Adventurers' Academy Guild Master, Ms. Mira Lightfall."
...Clap!...Clap!...Clap!...
As the master of ceremony introduces the name of the Guild Master of the Adventurers' Academy, a slender female Elf with long golden blonde hair walks toward the center of the stage to give her speech.
The female Elf Guild Master stands at the podium wearing an elegant blue and gray themed Mage robe outfit that highlights her beautiful look or, what I say, aesthetic beauty.
She surely has the look that is admired not only by men but also by women.
The same look that I'm destined to have once I grow up...
"Mifumi-sama. Vier is doing another weird face."
"Hmm... I wonder what kind of face it is, Felin-chan. It's her usual smug face but something is different... Hmm... Perhaps it's Vier-chan's delusional face."
"It's not a delusion or make-believe, Felin, Mifumi-sama. I indeed will become an elegant lady like the Guild Master once I grow up... Fufufu..."
"Should I slap Vier to wake her up, Mifumi-sama?"
"It's fine, Felin-chan. Just let Vier-chan daydream all she wants for now."
"Mhm!..."
"Fufufu... I'm an elegant lady... Fufufu..."

***Two days before the current event.***
"Argh!... My head hurts... What happened?... Argh!..."
"You're finally awake... How are you feeling, Vier-chan?"
"Here's your bucket, Vier."
I woke up with the worst headache that I ever had in my entire life.
I was lying down at the top of aligned chairs while Mifumi-sama was sitting beside me, and Felin was crouching down in front of me while holding a bucket.
I tried to stand up, but as soon as I tried to move and raise my head, my vision began to spin around.
"Just lie down for now, Vier-chan. You don't have to move."
"Mhm!... Here's your bucket if you need to throw up, Vier."
"Argh!... What happened?... Where are we?... Mifumi-sama, Felin... Ugh!"
The last thing I remember was being teleported back to the Adventurers' Academy Teleportation room. But after observing my still spinning surroundings, I'm convinced that this place is not the Teleportation room anymore.
"You passed out after throwing up earlier, Vier-chan."
"Mhm!... You throw up a lot, Vier!"
"Ugh!... Please don't say it like that, Felin... It's embarrassing or more rather, disgusting."
That's right... I remember now.
After we got teleported and arrived at the Teleportation room, I suddenly felt a harsh feeling of nausea.
It's a feeling like the mouth-drying, jawbreaking, almost expired food that I ate came alive while being digested in my stomach and forced its way up to escape from my mouth.
Scary and disgusting at the same time.
Then, after saving the last of my dignity by at least managing not to throw up on the floor but instead, in the bucket provided by Mifumi-sama, my consciousness slowly faded, and I passed out.
If I knew that the Teleportation spell would have a freaking effect like this, then I would rather choose to travel back inside the Concrete_Jungle Dungeon for another week... Nope!... I'm not really sure what will be my choice. Both options are a real hassle after all.
"After you pass out along with other Adventurers examinees, we were instructed to move into a different location here at one of the Auditorium."
"Mhm!... I carried Vier in my back!"
"Thanks, Mifumi-sama, Felin... But what are we doing here now?"
"Everyone else is resting while waiting for the announcement from the Guild's staff."
.
.
.
After resting for another hour, I finally managed to recover from my spinning vision and sit up properly in the chair. I still can't stand but I was able to observe my surroundings.
Other Adventurers examinees are still lying down on the floor or some aligned chairs. They're the ones who probably share the same fate as me and throw up due to the harsh nausea.
I just hope that, like me, they have managed to save their dignity by not throwing up on the floor.
Aside from the knockdown examinees, few are resting due to injuries while waiting for their turn to be healed by the Guild's staff Healers.
It might look like those with injuries are the ones in the worst state. But there is actually another group who are suffering much worse compared to harsh nausea or painful injuries.
That group of examinees has their eyes already look like a dead fish's eyes.
They're the group of examinees who are about to pass out due to hunger.
..."""FOOD!!!... GIVE US REAL FOOD!!!"""....
Then, after waiting for another hour as every injured examinee was healed by the Guild's staff Healers, all of us were finally allowed to leave and go back to our homes.
..."""LET'S GO EAT SOME REAL FOOD!!!... YEAH!!!"""...
Everyone was so hyped, thinking that they could finally have proper food after eating nothing but that mouth-drying, jawbreaking, almost expired food given to everyone as provisions during the entrance exam.
I also want to eat first, but my headache and nausea are making me want to lie down on a proper bed rather than eat proper food.
As everyone is leaving, Felin carries me on her back, and then the three of us head to our home back at the Black_Storm Lounge.
"Thanks, Mifumi-sama, Felin."
""It's all right, Vier / Vier-chan. Just rest for now.""
"Mhm!..."

***Back to the current event.***
Two days have passed since the end of the Adventurers' Academy Entrance Exam. And today marks the opening ceremony to welcome the new batch of Adventure students.
"To the 70 Adventurers who successfully passed this year's entrance exam, I welcome all of you as the batch 0201."
...Clap!...Clap!...Clap!...
The elegant lady Elf Guild Master continued her speech as she stood dignified at the center of the stage for everyone to see and admire her charm.
She is truly a display of what my future self will look like once I grow up.
"Vier-chan, enough with your daydream face."
"Mhm!... Wake up, Vier.*
"Fufufu... I'm an elegant lady... Fufufu..."
"It's useless, Felin-chan. Vier-chan won't wake up from her daydream. Let's just listen to the true elegant lady."
"Mhm!... The true elegant lady!"
"Are you talking about me, Felin, Mifumi-sama... Fufufu..."
""No we're not, Vier / Vier-chan!""
