The lower-class party, having driven Heinrich off with Queen Victoria’s plan.
They were walking toward the classroom at last, to hold their first class.

“Class~! I’m looking forward to it~!!”

“Lady Ulrika~, please wai~t!”

With the first class before her, Lady Ulrika was wildly excited.

“Ulrika-chan, if you run so much you’ll trip.”

“It’s all right. I’m the Demon King! If I trip I’ll only injure the world!!”

“Injure the world!? You mustn’t, Lady Ulrika~!”

Lady Ulrika frolicked even more energetically.
Chasing her, Olivia ended up soaked in sweat from head to toe.
Meanwhile the party arrived at their destination.

“Now, we’ve arrived… haven’t we…”

Before the classroom that was their destination, Queen Victoria stopped.
She stayed locked in place, staring at the classroom.

“Mother? What’s the matter?”

“This is a bit… a more wrecked hut than I imagined…”

Yes. What stood before them was the wreck of a hut they had been told was the lower-class classroom.

The matter of cancelled classes had been solved somehow by Queen Victoria’s plan.
The collapse of the classroom, however, they had of course been unable to do anything about.

And so they had come as far as the classroom… in name, a wreck of a hut.

“W… well then, shall we go inside.”

Queen Victoria opened the door.
Giiie… an unpleasant sound rang in the ear.

The students went in.
With every step, an uneasy creak came from the floor.

At the rear, Olivia shut the door.
A draft, however, whistled in through gaps in the walls.

It was a state worthy of being called a wreck, exactly.

“This is awful… we really can’t hold class like this…”

“What’s that? We can’t hold class?”

Queen Victoria smiled and reassured the uneasy Lady Ulrika.

“Don’t worry, Ulrika-chan. I only said we can’t as it is. If we clean it up properly, we can hold class.”

“But Mother, even if you say clean it up… will this become clean?”

“Hmm… well…”

Queen Victoria looked over the hut and thought, head down.
After a while she suddenly clapped her hands and lifted her face.

“Henry!”

“Yes, what is it?”

“May I hear Heinrich’s words once more?”

“Yes, I don’t mind.”

Henry drew a breath, “suu…,” and opened his mouth.

“‘From today, this is your classroom.’ ‘I have no obligation to explain to the likes of the lower class.’ ‘The classroom is right here. This should be enough for the lower class.’ ‘All lower-class classes have been cancelled. There will be no classes from the academy at all. You may spend your time here as you like.’ ‘This year no teacher will be assigned to the lower class. If you want a teacher, find one yourselves.’ ‘If you don’t like it, you can just quit.’ ‘Restrain yourself. I am the student council president.’ ‘Called the Angel of the Sun and getting carried away, are we. But your popularity won’t work in the academy.’ ‘Anyway, lower-class classes are cancelled. This is your classroom.’ ‘And don’t you dare get in the way of the advanced class or the general class. That is all.'”

Henry read it off, flat, in one go, perfectly.

“Amazing! Henry’s memory is the real thing!”

“Yes, it really is amazing. That’s talent!”

“No, it’s nothing much.”

“””””……”””””

At the too-amazing memory, the five besides Lady Ulrika and Queen Victoria were left stunned.

“And… fufu. I’ve thought of something good.”

“Something good? What is it?”

“For now, everyone outside.”

So saying, Queen Victoria led them all out of the hut.
She lined everyone up in front of it and announced in a large voice.

“We will now begin our first class!”

“What’s that! Is it true, Victoria!!”

At the unexpected announcement, Lady Ulrika bounced with joy.

“What will we do? What kind of class? Will we do it outside? I’m so excited!”

“Don’t rush, Ulrika-chan.”

Settling Lady Ulrika, Queen Victoria explained the class.

“Today is this class’s first lesson, isn’t it? And the first time all the classmates have gathered, isn’t it?”

“That’s right! I’ve been looking forward to it so much!!”

“Yes. You want to take class soon, don’t you. But actually, you see, when a class first gathers, there’s something you should do first.”

“What! What in the world is that?”

“That is…”

Queen Victoria broke her words as if teasing.
She clapped her hands and announced the answer.

“First of all, everyone getting along!”

Hearing Queen Victoria’s answer, Lady Ulrika’s face lit with a full smile.

“I see. That’s very important! I want to get along with everyone more!!”

“And so! For the first class, we’ll have a class for everyone to get along!”

“Yes, I say!”

Lady Ulrika clapped big, clap clap clap.

“What will we do? I want you to tell us quickly!”

“The content of the class is…”

Queen Victoria put on a suggestive smile.
Then she pointed toward the wreck of a hut.

“Together, we’ll remodel this hut… the classroom!”

“””””””Remodel!?”””””””

And so the lower class’s first lesson began.
