Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

“Let’s do our best together.”

He said, placing his hand on my shoulder. After a moment of surprise, Jonas rubbed his moist eyes and smiled.

“You know how excellent I am.”

Jonas directed his gaze towards Lily.

“Watch, Lily-san! I’ll become stronger and make sure to become a man you’ll acknowledge! I’ll overcome any obstacle! I won’t lose to these people or the old man in the garden!”

So, stop.

Lily seemed to have missed it in the strange excitement, but attacking the academy director would render all efforts in vain.

Well, let’s make him take responsibility for his own actions. Frankly, I can’t be bothered to look after him that much.

After that, the simulated battle with Gemma, which I had completely forgotten about, took place.

There was no reason for a simulated battle, but Gemma wasn’t satisfied, and Jonas, having just decided to become stronger, was enthusiastic.

Compared to the battle with Ted, Jonas seemed more relaxed.

His movements improved, and his magic control was solid.

Still, he couldn’t break through the defense and was overwhelmed by a sudden fierce attack.

That marked his 2nd consecutive defeat, but in a real battle, it’s questionable if he could have held his defense.

Gemma seemed to understand this and, without the joy of victory, called Jonas, Ted, and Gemma to ask for their opinions.

What I find remarkable about these guys is their lack of wishful thinking.

Especially Ted and Gemma. Lily exhibits a strong tendency as well.

Perhaps it’s because they’ve seen life and death up close.

Jonas explained the power and range of Bolt spells, and Ted and the others listened attentively, asking questions.

They seemed so familiar despite having met not long ago.

The way Ted and the others conduct themselves could be a good influence on Jonas.

Even though they demanded a simulated battle, they didn’t celebrate victory. They aim beyond immediate success.

“Alter-sama, there’s something I forgot to mention.”

Watching that scene, Elliot stood next to me.

“Our party name is decided. It’s Lanain.”

“That was quick. What’s the origin?”

Adventurer party names vary. Some are borrowed from ancient heroes or myths, while others are named after hometowns, rivers, or even their own symbols like the Battle Axe of Destruction.

“My father used to be a guard for the trading company, and there was a former adventurer among them. We took the name of the party he led.”

“Did you get his permission?”

“Yes. My father passed away from illness about three years ago, but before that, he promised to pass on the name.”

“I see. You better live up to it.”

“Yes, I’m prepared. Of course, the 2 as well.”

Elliot glanced at Nails and Jonas.

The exchange of opinions seemed to be over, and now they were drawing lots to decide the next opponent. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

These guys are really lively.

“I apologize for intruding earlier.”

“No problem, it helped. I was really struggling with how to persuade him.”

“You could have convinced him. He understands himself well. He just tends to let his emotions run wild a bit.”

“Exactly. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so intense, though.”

Elliot chuckled wryly.

He had a strong attachment to magic, and it seemed he had been through a lot since childhood.

And after the lottery, the next match was decided: Nails against Jonas.

Even though they had just fought, Ted and Jema were frustrated.

“By the way, what does Serade mean?”

I had forgotten to ask when Yabushou was there.

“It’s Selen and Reedwald.”

“Why Reedwald again?”

“It’s a wish to connect two towns. Ted suggested it, and it was unanimously approved.”

Connect, huh. With Lily around, I don’t think they can come to Leadvard so easily.

“We’re greatly indebted to you, Alter-sama. Not just Ted and the others, but me too. If we can act in Leadvard, it might be a bit of repayment.”

Strong individuals are welcome, but it’s tough. The Reknod Forest is even more challenging than Selen, and even goblins are several steps above Selen. We need at least a mid-tier D-rank, preferably a lower-tier C-rank strength.

“Well, we’ll have to train more.”

Elliot laughed happily and turned his gaze forward.

The simulated battle between Nails and Jonas had begun.

Perhaps due to the severe magic conditions, Jonas refrained from using magic and challenged in close combat.

On the other hand, Nails, with a sling in hand, tried to keep a distance.

Seeing the sling, it seemed he thought it was easier to deal with than Ted and Jema, but he frequently jumped into close combat with melee opponents.

Those are the traits suitable for adventurers.

While watching, Nils approached hesitantly this time.

“If you don’t mind—could you guide me?”

“Sure, why not? It’s rare, so I’ll spar with you as a magic swordsman.”

Ted and Jema wouldn’t miss that.

Reacting to the excited duo, even Nails joined in, and he took a direct hit from the staff.

What’s he doing? Utterly ridiculous. With a sigh, I took out the wooden scimitar from the storage.

“Nils, get ready.”

“Yes!”

That day, I had simulated battles with everyone, and as a finishing touch, I fought against Serade and Lanain.

Nils and Jonas seemed to have experienced more rigor than they had imagined, and by the time they left, they were exhausted.

In contrast, Ted and the others were still energetic.

Even with knowledge and talent at the academy, there seems to be something genuine about being an adventurer.

Lanain was just born. Let’s hope for their growth in the future.
