「Well ....」

Yu was frowning at this point, so as not to distance himself from the goddess Elsa. Yu began desperately trying to recall in his mind what happened three hundred years ago.

  "The war between the Seventh Apostle and humans? I seem to remember that there was such a thing."

  Although his memory was a bit fuzzy, Yu vaguely recalled the time when the Seventh Apostle Selenia came running to complain to him.

.....

『Humans are getting more and more arrogant now! How dare you steal my ring and threaten me with it!!! Hey, Youlman, are you listening to me? They threatened me with my ring! Can't you help me out?』

「It's just a ring, isn't it? What's all the fuss about, you're not hurt. If you're okay then get out of here and don't get in my way of studying literature.」

......

  Yu's mind recalled the exasperated expression of the Seventh Apostle Selenia at that time. At that time, because Yu was obsessed with reading human novels, he didn't even bother to listen to her.

「Well.... I seem to remember that someone stole Selenia's ring.」

  After Yu said it, the whole class froze at this moment.

  The students froze for two reasons. the first reason was that Yu had called the name of the Seventh Apostle quite casually. Generally speaking the Seventh Apostle's name is not to be spoken freely. And it is said that the one war with the Seventh Apostle was because someone called her by her name casually to her face.

  And the second reason was that this answer from Yu was very unbelievable that the thing about human stealing the Apostle's ring could turn the tide. The authenticity of this thing in the textbook simply can not find the source. No matter who he was, the students present firmly believed that Yu tried to give up his promising future deliberately. 

However, when the students turned their heads to look at Professor Gale at the podium, they found Gale's expression as surprised as they were.

  Originally, Gale's answer was that the great human inventor, Aesir, had created a magical conduction device that could output magical energy at high power, and that was what made the Seventh Apostle realize how serious things were, thus turning from war to peace talks.

  This was also the answer that the average student should answer. Although the question was comparatively complex, any student who always studies hard could think of this answer.

  But not so for Yu, he gave an answer that was even more correct than the correct answer. In other words, Yu directly explained why the war has won. The reason why that device was able to emit a huge amount of energy was the Apostle ring which was full of magic. If Aesir hadn't stolen that ring, it would have been impossible to invent that very threatening weapon.

  After a moment of silence, Gale, who was stunned for a while, finally opened his mouth:

『What is your name?』

Professor Gale walked up to Yu and took a good look at the student in the ordinary uniform in front of him with a very appreciative gaze.

「A single word, Yu.」

『Very well, Yu, you can sit down. Let’s continue the lesson.'

Professor Gale's words certainly sent the class into amazement.

『Professor Gale! Why wasn't he thrown out by you?!』

  The one who raised the question on everyone's behalf was the blonde classmate who ostensibly saved Elsa yesterday.

  In his mind, he was the one who saved Elsa, and a beautiful woman like Elsa should come to him and give him a hug. However, what he didn't expect was that Elsa was not only groped by this guy, Yu, in front of him , but also grew closer to him.

 For a man, he can't take it.

  So now this blond guy was the one in the class who wanted to see Yu get kicked out the most.

『If I remember correctly your name is Kyle, right? You are one of the most capable students in this Ace Class. I've been told about you by that little girl Kerr. But I hope you can read more about history, which will help you to understand the apostles and understand magic.

Gale turned to look at a confused Kyle, who was even more frozen by the comment.

『Maybe you guys don't quite understand what Yu is talking about. It's not surprising, as textbooks don't usually contain this much detail. I think only someone who spends a lot of time in the library and studies history seriously would give this answer. This answer is also the most accurate one. I will tell you the details of this soon. But before that, I hope you will dare to call the apostles by their names, as Yu did. We should not be afraid of them, but we should understand them, and even defeat them! Only then will humanity continue to progress.』

「.....」

At this point, Yu thought about his position and the goal he was pursuing, and his face immediately showed great embarrassment.

  But unlike Yu, Gale walked up to the podium with a relieved face and then began to fill the class in on a story not often mentioned in history books.
