Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

Over the years, the Rescue Core has expanded its scope to include sea and mountain rescue, and has now grown to shoulder part of the work of the fire and police departments.

As the name suggests, the Academy of Disaster Rescue training is an educational institution that aims to train highly-skilled personnel for the "Disaster Rescue Team", also known as Rescue Core. Its position is close to that of the National Defense Academy.

However, unlike the National Defense Academy, it is rare for high school students to go on there to study magic. While magicians also play an active role in rescue activities, in the event of a disaster, at Rescue Academy, they practice rescue activities that do not rely on magic skills, utilizing technological tools. And being able to use magic gives no advantage in the entrance exams.

Leo originally thought of the mountain guard as a career path. It was also because of this career aspiration that he joined the mountain club. He didn't intend to go on to higher education, but to join the police directly.

However, when he started to consider taking the entrance exam for a magical college, he looked at various other places to go to besides the magical college. As a result, he decided on Rescue Academy as his first choice.

The fact that magic couldn't be used in the entrance exam was not a problem for Leo at all. Even now, he is not good at magic other than hardening magic. The fact that the parameters of the entrance exam at the University of Rescue consisted of physical testing and athletic skills, was very advantageous for Leo.

"For some reason, you have a different procedure from us?"

Leo was immensely curious on what on earth was the business the manager had to call Tatsuya upon,

"I don't know the details."

Tatsuya replied with a blunt response.

"And, the last time they called you up wasn't the principal. It was the vice principal."

Then he adds.

"It's not much different."

Leo says so, but the call from the principal, who is the final decision maker, and the guidance of the vice principal have very different implications. In particular, the vice principal's business the other day was to receive a request from the magic university to hear what Tatsuya wanted to learn. It is quite different in nature from the so-called "call".

When he was about to object to Leo, they were in front of class F.

"Well, I'll see you later."

"Yeah."
