Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

Several days have passed since the beginning of my third year at the academy.

The lecture on general education ended, and everyone left the room simultaneously to head to the next lecture, the library, or back to the dormitory.

I stood up to go to the training ground, then stopped.

That’s right. It’s become quite a habit.

“After the next lecture—Oh, you’re leaving, aren’t you?”

“An invitation to train?”

“Yes, but let’s do it tomorrow. I don’t want to keep you waiting.”

Lambert waved lightly and left the room with Felix.

I felt a little lonely watching them leave.

In my third year, I quit the military science lectures.

The reason was that I felt the time spent was not worth the content learned.

Originally, skills were not easily acquired, and by the second year, I felt no change in the lecture content.

Also, with the sensible Deschind as the instructor, the knowledge and skills gained were less compared to alchemy and magical studies.

This year, I’ve been even busier.

To graduate, you need to complete three subjects, so alchemy and magical studies, which are almost certain, along with the essential general education, are sufficient.

I decided to quit military science outright.

Leaving the academy early, I headed to the Larsen Trading Company while browsing the street stalls.

Because I frequently used the Kousai Sword and the stiletto for a road restoration request, I asked the trading company to have Ister maintain them as soon as I got back. They should be done by now.

Speaking of the restoration request, the high-quality magic stones presented by the Magic Guild were from four types: ogre, cackle, ashig cat, and hill giant.

Cackle is a bird monster similar to an ostrich, and Ashig Cat is a cat monster that prefers warm climates. Of these four, the Ashig Cat is rare, and the hill giant is the most expensive.

However, predicting the effects of [Magic Tool Creation 4] is difficult, making it a gamble no matter which one is chosen.

After much consideration, I chose the hill giant for safety.

Arriving at the Larsen Trading Company, I entered while glancing at the shop window.

As if noticing my visit, Lauri appeared from the back.

It’s been a while since I saw him, as he was away when I requested the maintenance.

Lauri approached directly, holding the sword of Kousai and the stiletto, and bowed deeply in front of me.

“Welcome, Alter-sama. The sword of Kousai and the stiletto you requested have been repaired without any issues.”

Thanking him, I received the sword of Kousai and the stiletto.

“And this as well.”

Lauri handed me a package.

Opening it, I found a scroll and a book inside.

“What’s this?”

“A token of our gratitude.”

The magic book was [Concentration Up], and the scroll was [Light Healing].

It seems he was aware of the incident at the barracks, not just Raymon.

Healing scrolls—ah, I might have looked at them longingly before.

“Alter-sama, thank you for your patronage. Please continue to favor the Larsen Trading Company.”

“Understood. I’ll gladly accept this.”

I accepted it without hesitation.

The magic book is worth at least ten gold coins, and its rarity exceeds that.

Even though the scroll is reasonable, healing magic is as valuable as the magic book.

Normally, I wouldn’t accept something so valuable.

However, Raymon had done something that warranted this.

Even though I didn’t use my real name and Lauri didn’t reveal my identity, he indeed tried to use violence against the second son of a baron. It’s a significant offense.

If it weren’t me, Holger and the others would have captured him, beaten him, and confined him until he proved his identity. Even then, Holger might suggest silencing him.

Naturally, Brent from the guard and the guild receptionist would testify. The Larsen Trading Company would be finished.

With the Kousai Sword and the stiletto at my waist and the package on my back, I said,

“I’ll ask for the maintenance of my sword again.”

“We look forward to serving you.”

Lauri said with a relieved expression.
