I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 554: Uniform

It was the day after she had decided to transfer to the school as a student while working as an instructor at the Academy of Magic.

Fran and Urushi were walking towards the Academy of Magic.

『You didn’t feel any sign of the spirit after that, huh?』

「Nn」

Perhaps the contact in the dining room had satisfied the spirits. And Fran was able to sleep soundly last night without waking up at all.

『Is it easy for you to move around with that uniform?』

「No problem」

『But even so, its impact was so dangerously destructive… Fran, do you like the uniform?』

「Nn? Its defense power is low, but it’s quite easy to move in. But I don’t think its destructive power is better」

『Aah―, I didn’t mean it like that. What I mean is about its cuteness or something like that』

「?」

It was no good trying to explain it to her, huh? Well, I can’t imagine Fran wearing girly clothes and being happy that she was called cute though.

Right now, Fran was wearing the uniform of the Academy of Magic. Aside from combat training, she was required to wear the uniform during classroom lessons.

This was to show the student’s classes and grades clearly. In such a large academy, with a huge number of students, it would be more convenient to be able to tell by sight.

As a mammoth academy (Note: giant academy), the academy store had uniforms of all sizes available for purchase on the spot. Oh, and in Fran’s case, she got it for free.

The uniform of the Special Battle Class was a navy-blue blazer with the emblem of the Academy of Magic sewn on the shoulders and chest, a tie with white lines on a red background and a navy blue and white checked skirt.

She chose a white shirt, a gray vest sweater, navy blue socks, and black loafers because she was allowed to choose whatever she wanted for the rest of the outfit.

Eh? What do you mean? It’s to my liking too though. Some cloaks and robes could be worn over the head to make her look more fantasy-like… But I purposely asked her to wear a school-like uniform, because, with that, Fran’s prettiness would stand out even more!

『Now all you need is a high twin tail and you’ll be perfect…』

But there was a big problem with that.

Her cat ears would get in the way if she tried to make twin tails. I just realized that the supreme cat ears would clash with the supreme hairstyle!

So, she had no choice but to tie her hair into a low knot twin tail. Well, it looks great too.

「Master」

『Hmm? What’s wrong, Fran?』

「Why has Master become small?」

『Well, it would be weird if you were carrying me on your back in this outfit, wouldn’t it?』

「??」

She was wearing a blazer, but it would be ruined if she was carrying a large sword so I transformed into the size of a dagger and hid on the inside of her blazer.

For now, I could maintain this state for a long time if it was just a resize. At the very least, I could maintain it on our time when we’re at the academy

It would be perfect if we had a school bag, but I guess it can’t be helped. As long as we have the Dimensional Storage, that would only be a hindrance. However, her looks would be complete with that! Should I have Fran bring it with her? No, however―

「Master… You’ve become strange again」

She gave me the same deadpan look she had given me yesterday when I was picking her uniform at the store. Were my thoughts leaking out?

『A-ahaha. It isn’t weird, is it? What was the weird part about it?』

「I knew it, it was weird after all」

『Ugh… W-well. More importantly, the main entrance is already in sight』

「…Nn」

Phew, did I manage to cover it up? No, let’s just say that I managed to cover it up.

『You must show them your ID card, okay?』

「Okay」

We were supposed to be able to get in by showing the guard her teacher’s ID card, but…

「Hold on a second, young miss!」

「Nn?」

「Woof?」

A guard uncle stopped Fran when she tried to go straight through the main gate after presenting her teacher’s ID card.

He looked like a former adventurer with a stern appearance not like the calm and collected uncle at the back entrance. And there was a hint of confusion on his face.

「Aah, young miss, you’re a student, right?」

「Nn」

「But what you presented to us was a teacher’s ID card, you know?」

「Nn」

「Eeh?」

「Nn?」

They were wondering why Fran, who was dressed as a student, had presented them with a teacher’s ID card.

「However, the spirit is not responding to her… Aah, could it be! The one with cat ears and brought a wolf with her is… Umm, can you tell me your name?」

「Fran」

「I see. I’m sorry for stopping you. I’ve heard the story about you, but I just wanted to confirm it myself」

「Nn」

「Woof」

We were told that we could get in as long as she presented her teacher’s or student’s ID card. But as expected, she should have shown her ID card a little more clearly for the first time. Or rather, she should have used the student’s ID card instead.

「I know you just got hired yesterday, but do you know the academy’s layout?」

「No problem」

She had already confirmed the location of the classroom she was going to today.

Fran then said goodbye to the guard and continued to walk again.

However, she immediately tilted her head in confusion.

「??」

『Fran, what’s wrong?』

「I felt like I was being watched」

As Fran muttered so, the eyes of the surrounding students were focused on her. I wondered if perhaps they were the victim of yesterday’s incident, but there was no fear or fright in their gazes.

They looked at her not without ill-feeling, but also jealousy and irritation which seemed to be the main ones.

「Who is that pretty girl?」

「Sh-she’s cute…!」

「Hey wait, where do you think you’re lookin’ at!」

It seems that she had attracted attention as a mysterious pretty girl. Well, it couldn’t be helped that our cute little Fran had acquired a different kind of cuteness with her uniform.

She was probably going to have to become accustomed to the hostility and contempt from the adventurers by now, but this kind of attention was rare, so it has even bothered her.

『Let’s ignore it for now. It might stay like this for as long as we’re in this academy, and once you get used to it, it won’t bother you anymore』

「Understood」

You guys with a delirious face just now, I’ve memorized your faces, so be prepared!
