“So Mom’s fighting someone right now?” asked Touma as he followed Subaru towards the Combat Training Simulator.
“I really am sorry for letting things get out of hand,” said the Corporal in apology. “I couldn’t have imagined why she picked a fight with First Lieutenant Signum.”
“This Signum… is she really strong?”
She nodded once as memories flew back of that graduation duel between the Forwards and their seniors. “Oh, yes. She’s really good at dishing out a lot of damage and enduring anything that comes at her.”
“Ah, cool. I’m glad that Mom’s able to finally go all out on someone.” Upon noticing the somewhat odd look from his escort, the boy went on to explain. “There’s no way she would be able to get a proper workout if I’m her sparring partner. I’m not good enough yet.”
‘She’s finally able to go all out? Just how strong is that woman…?’ Subaru never really paid too much attention to history. All she remembered from her elementary school history lessons was that the Sankt Kaiser’s strength had virtually no equal.
“Subaru?”
The familiar voice of her idol snapped Subaru out of her thoughts. “Nanoha-san? What are you doing here? I thought you were still with your class!”
“We finished early since they worked extra hard so I have a little bit of spare time on my hands and when I heard that Hayate-chan was running some sort of combat test in the Simulator next door, I wanted to take a look!” The tactical instructor then noticed the child. “Who’s that boy with you?”
“Um… I’m Touma Avenir.”
“Ooh, aren’t you a cute one? I’m Nanoha Takamachi.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Takamachi,” replied the boy politely.
Nanoha had to bury the urge to pinch his cheeks or ruffle his head and instead focused back on her former subordinate. “So where did he come from?”
“Administrated World 3: Vaizen. He’s just moved to the city with his mother,” answered Subaru.
“Where is she now?”
“She’s in one of the Combat Training Simulators with-”
Now that caught Nanoha’s attention very quickly. “She’s one of the participants in Hayate-chan’s combat test? How good is she?”
“She’s gonna kick that Sig… that Siggy person’s butt!” declared Touma proudly.
“So she’s facing Signum?” Upon seeing Subaru nod in confirmation, the other woman lowered herself so that she was eye to eye with the boy’s face. “Touma-kun, can you tell me how strong she is and how she fights?”
“Nanoha-san, what are you doing?”
“Nyahaha… there’s nothing wrong with getting a little bit of information on a future student~!”
Subaru could only ponder just how those plans would change when Nanoha found out who the boy’s mother really was.
“It’s hard to believe that second grade is almost over! We had so much fun over the school year,” exclaimed Vivio as she headed to the school gates after the end of another school day at St. Hilde Academy of Magic.
“That’s true,” replied Corona Timil who walked beside her. “Did you decide what you wanted to do?”
“Hm?”
“For your sorcery classes next year! I’ve gotten an idea of what I want to try but I wanted to know if you have something yet.”
Vivio paused for a moment as she considered it. “I’m not sure what I want to do or what can I do. I want to try so many different things…” She trailed off as she saw her Saint Church escort for the day, a person with short brown hair and dressed in a butler uniform, waiting for her at the gate.
“Greetings, Your Majesty. Miss Corona.”
Vivio’s cheeks puffed out. “Isn’t there anyway I can get you to stop calling me ‘Your Majesty’, Otto?”
“Unless another member of your bloodline appears, then no,” replied the cross-dressing Number with a small smile.
“Then I wish someone like that could appear so that I can be a normal elementary school student!” shouted the young Takamachi with a fist pumped into the air for dramatic emphasis.
Otto carefully masked her amusement. “Are you done? We have to head back to your mother’s office and it’s going to be a long trip.”
“Ah, yes! Mama’s promised that we’ll go out for dinner today after she finishes work!” Vivio went up ahead before waving goodbye to her friend. “I’ll see you at school tomorrow, Corona!”
“Take care! See you tomorrow!”
