Chapter 1.3

Chapter


1 Part 3


Nozomu is attending school as usual.


Upon


entering the classroom, a student who had already arrived saw him but


immediately gave him a stupid look. Slandering is written on his desk, and


the surroundings giggle as Nozomu cleans it up.


This


school, whose basic policy is a thorough meritocracy,


distinguishes winners and losers very clearly. Students in this


class, 10th class, are undoubtedly the latter and are treated as the


lowest in the grade. Such losers usually find someone even weaker


than themselves and throw their dissatisfaction on him.


He is


treated as a tumor in this class and they ignore him thoroughly when he


speaks to them. The only person who talks to him is Anri Sensei, who


is the teacher in charge, or Mars, who is a problem child. However, Mars


is only thinking about abusing him thoroughly.


"That’s


right ~ That woman has a great body ……"


A trio


of Mars and his two friends came while conversing stupid story. When Mars


notices me, he comes with a grin. Mars is tall and has a good physique.


His


face isn't bad, but his ridiculous expression ruined everything.


"Hey,


Drop Out. Did you come to the school to do something useless? I think it's


better to clean the toilet anyway because it's still good for us."


"Hey


Mars, stop it. No one will use toilet cleaned by this guy."


"Well,


what about our training dolls? It will help you to test your weapons."


Nozomu


says nothing. It was the usual mockery, the usual ridicule, and


the beginning of the usual daily life.


==============================================


Today


is a magic class in the morning. The instructor is Norn-sensei, a health


doctor.


"As


you know, magic is a technology that brings forth the energy (Qi) in


the body by using mental power and technique to manifests various


phenomena, the energy to be brought forth is not only from its own body


but also the outside world, that is, energy in the atmosphere.


When


using large-scale magic, you almost always use magic elements from the


outside world. This is called ceremonial magic, and it originated from


the Shinto ritual, praying to spirits and gods. Many people pray in the


same way, which is also the basis of modern chanting. That is ………… ”


She


goes on with the lessons without wasting time. Anri-sensei's class has


a relaxed atmosphere due to her trait, but Norn-sensei's class has a quiet


and tense atmosphere.


I took


notes of what the teacher said. The written test is a lifeline for me, who


cannot get the point of practical skill as expected due to the


Ability Suppression. In the practical skill-oriented exam of the end-of-year


exam at the end of the first year, I managed to advance due to the written


exam added to the supplementary exam. A written test will be added to


the practical test, so it will be an additional blow for ordinary


students, but it is the last line for me.


With a


chime at the end of the lesson, class time ends and practice time begins.


The


whole class moves to the training ground with the call from Norn-sensei.


Arriving


at the training ground and watching everyone use their own magic,


I just


absorbed in the training of my beginner magic, that is I could only


do, just feeling the magical power inside me and manipulating it.


The


humans of this continent have considerable magical power, but my magical


power is very low. It wasn't too low at first, but after the manifestation


of my Ability Suppression, even beginner magic couldn't be used.


That's


why I only repeat beginner training and increase my control.


Seeing


that, the students around me started laughing again. Mars influenced by


the students, came to me and started cursing at me.


"What's


this, still training the first-year lesson? Soo low. I think there's


a baby walker here. Hahahaha."


I


Ignore those ridicule and immerse myself in training. In the first place,


I couldn't hear their voice at this time.


If you


concentrate on training, you will not be able to see your surroundings.


This


was especially noticeable during basic training and was in this state when


I met Shishō.


“………… Hey,


what are you ignoring?”


Perhaps


He is frustrated because I didn't listen, Mars's atmosphere suddenly


became dangerous.


Originally


he is a person with a strong desire to show his power.


He


probably thought he was ridiculed by me, the lowest. Still, I can't


hear him. I was completely trapped in my own world.


Suddenly,


I was shocked from the side and was blown away. Mars blew me away with


wind magic. The magic released is a type of "air burst"


style magic that blows away the opponent with a shock wave when


the compressed wind is released.


It's


not settled yet, Mars continues to try to release magic. But before


that, Norn Sensei's magic went through Mars's feet.


"That's


enough, any more than this, I will take the necessary measure as


a teacher."


The


magic released is "Air Arrow". Although it is a beginner wind magic,


the casting speed is faster than Mars, and the accuracy and power


are comparable to single intermediate magic. It was clear that her


air arrows were better than Mars's air bursts.


"Oh,


I understand."


Mars


left as if throwing away the rope, and the surrounding students returned to


practice.


"Are


you alright"


Norn


Sensei called me.


"No


problem"


I


answered immediately. I've always been blown away by Shishō, so my defense


has improved a lot. This is one of my few special skills.


Immediately


resume the training. This is the usual thing. That's why,


"That


kind of guy can be a hassle. Anri is also worried about you. Come and talk


to me whenever you need to."


I


couldn't receive the words head-on and could only give a vague reply.


=============================================


The


next day, the school closes for the day, and the students spend


their short vacation in their minds.


Nozomu


came to a part-time job in a commercial district today after accepting a


job from the Adventurer's Guild. The Adventurer's Guild has jobs in


various cities, and this city is no exception. If his rank is high, he


can conditionally subdue weak monsters, but his rank is low, so he can


only receive chores. His job is to carry simple luggage. Since a


lot of cargo arrives in the commercial area from each country, it


is better to have as many carriers as possible.


When he


arrives at the collection point where he collects items, He greets his


Boss and receives the items he has to bring with him. Place the


received load on the carriage and bring it to the destination with his


companion.


Today's


cargo is a tool shop in the commercial district and a doctor in


the craftsman's district. It seems that they buy things to use at the


store in bulk, and there is a lot of loads, but since there


are only few destinations, it will end early.


"By


the way, Nozomu. Do you have a girlfriend?"


Nozomu


instinctively gets stuck in the answer to the sudden question and


its contents.


"Well


......... I don't. What happened suddenly?"


The


color of the eyes of the other party changes whether he got


some confidence in the situation.

"No,


somehow. I wonder if there are people who like you, whether she


exists or not. Tell me."


My


companion is bright and not bad, but on the contrary, he is


ignoring other people's feelings, and he asking these kinds of


stories persistently.


==================================================


Nozomu's


POV


Whenever


I hear the word "loved ones", her shadow flashes by and


it becomes painful.


I was


often asked about this kind of thing, but no one questioning


my circumstances any further.


"


Na naa naa, tell me whether it's a beautiful woman or a cute girl."


"…………


I will go"


Nozomu


immediately advances the horse. My companion asks persistently but


I ignore it. On the surface, he was pardoning his companion


asking questions throughout his work, but his expression was clearly


tense.


When it


is over, I received a salary from Boss and immediately


returned home. Since my parents are ordinary farmers, so I cannot


expect the remittance of my parents, so this is indispensable for my life.


The


tuition fees at Solminati Academy are reasonable compared to the size of


the school, thanks to the support of each country. Securing


human resources lost in the great invasion 10 years ago is a matter of


life and death in each country, and it can be seen that each country


expects and supports this school.


How


good human resources can be secured at this school will be a major factor


in determining the superiority and inferiority of each nation in


the future.


Therefore,


each country is eager to attract excellent human resources to their own


countries and comes to scouts with various favorable conditions.


Especially


in my grade, there are so many excellent students that I have never seen


before. Five students have set foot in rank A. Rank A is a rank owned


by top adventurers and knights of the guards, and if you think


that students in their late teens have reached this rank, you can


understand their excellence.


On the


way home, familiar people walked from the front. Ken Notice and Lisa


Hounds. My former lover and my childhood friend. The two


are probably in the middle of a date. Ken laughs happily, and I


can understand that Lisa looks very happy.


When


Ken looks at me and notices me, he raises his hand. Lisa also notices me,


but she is frowning and looks gloomy.


"Hi


Nozomu, this is weird."


Ken


spoke openly. I couldn't see his disgusted expression. Ken talked to


me openly even after I broke up with Lisa. It's complicated to see him


dating Lisa, but I'm a little relieved that he treats me like


before.


"Oh,


that's right. How long has it been?"


"It's


been about 3 months. Didn't have the right time."


"It


can't be helped. Unlike me, there's a lot of work to do right."


"Yeah,


I asked Jihad Sensei to practice before, and I got a fever."


Ken


talks with a bitter smile.


If you


are a first-class student, the expectations of the school are high,


and you will be treated accordingly. Besides, Ken is a student who


has reached A rank, which is rare in the school. Therefore, He


can get personal guidance from the famous continental personage.


When I


was talking to Ken, Lisa, who was next to him, interrupted


the conversation.


"Ken,


let's go"


When


she says so, she takes Ken's hand and starts walking. She doesn't want to


see my face, She doesn't even try to.


"Ah"


I try


to stop her, but her face clearly rejects me.


After


all, I couldn't say anything to her, who pulled Ken's hand and left, and I


just petrified.


When I


got home, my heart didn't calm down. Why she started rejecting me.


I still


don't know the reason, and my feelings remain dangling.


It's


not usually that much, but when I find Lisa at school, I want to ask about


her feelings. As I thought, I still did not get away from my


self-consciousness.


I


remember when she dumped me. She looks at me with cold eyes. She turns her


back, saying "goodbye". She left in front of me. Without telling


me the reason.


Since


then, my feelings have stopped.
