"Greetings, Instructor. My name is Voss Adel, and I'm here for the Familiar Recognition Test."

"…Oh my."

Tammy covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes wide with surprise.

Why such a reaction?

My curiosity didn't last long.

As I narrowed my eyes, Tammy began to murmur,

"I heard there was a student who managed to tame Instructor Azgoth's bird…"

"That's never happened."

"Ah, my mistake. Just a slip of the tongue."
