chapter 3
Episode 3. Ah~ should I?
“What, what… ….”
“Is it really that the student woke up and ran away?”
Beanz panics as if he heard something wrong.
But Seine didn’t care what I was doing and pointed her hand at her broken window.
Beans belatedly regained her senses and answered.
“Yes, yes. That’s right. It was caused by Dale Enverton, who ranked first in the entrance exam among the freshmen of this quarter.”
“Senior?”
“He’s a chief from commoners.”
Beanz emphasizes the word commoner.
If she was a teacher at this academy, she thought she would understand immediately what she meant.
As there is a saying that a seat makes a person, even if you are a senior, if a commoner gets into an accident, he will immediately understand without further investigation.
“… Would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”
But are there any doubts left?
After gesturing to her students to open her way, she stepped out through the window next to the broken window.
After several minutes of touching it with your hand and examining it.
“That’s strange. The features are working fine.”
“Yes? It’s a function what… ….”
“Get out of the way.”
She rolled up her sleeves and lifted her own hand.
What is revealed is her left hand wrapped in her bandages.
-Ugh.
As soon as I put my strength into it, a haze began to form around me.
Mana. Intangible energy that is the basis for using magic.
The characteristic haze and vibrating sound were the main phenomena caused by the distorted light and air around the formless energy.
-Quaang!!!
Her fist, loaded with such mana, hit the window.
The roar that erupted along with him made everyone’s skin itch.
“…As expected.”
If it was stone, it would be smashed, and if it was iron, it would have been crushed.
However, the window that the fist touched remained intact.
She said, kicking her tsk her tongue and pouring it down her window, quietly withdrawing her hand, and turning to her freshmen.
“Guys, I ask you one more time. Is it true that the kid who was here just before broke this window and ran away?”
“… ….”
***
After she was hired as a health teacher, there was a story she heard while taking over.
The huge water vein located right under this academy…
To be precise, the fact that there is a place where vast amount of mana is concentrated enough to borrow such an expression.
‘That’s why the facilities in this academy can function properly without human hands getting burned. In particular, in the case of glass that has undergone a special process, even if you are in a place with the water vein, you can naturally receive mana and guarantee enormous durability.’
In short, within this academy, the windows become nothing more than a very solid defense.
As much as it can block quite a bit of offensive magic, it will not break unless the student is determined and unleashes magic.
So you broke that window with your bare body?
This is nonsense.
“I found it, kid.”
Fortunately, there wasn’t much difficulty in tracking.
It’s not difficult to track down grass, broken branches, etc., That the runaway student didn’t pay attention to.
“Everyone is too much….I just wanted to make friends…”
The place we arrived at was a tall tree about 10 meters tall.
A girl curled up in a thick branch at the top of the tree sobbing.
No, if you look at the school uniform, it’s not a girl, but a boy.
Whatever it is, I’m glad I didn’t get wrecked in the middle of this wide forest.
“Still, I can’t leave it like this, so I’ll have to take it.”
Let’s see, how much power should I give for 10m?
Recently, I’ve only seen Seomu, so I rarely use my body, so I don’t think I’ll be able to control my strength…….
No. Just hit it by feel.
-Pain!
A leap that occurs when the mana gathered in your feet explodes.
Right after the breezy sound of air rang out, everything around it became an afterimage.
Arriving at the edge of the tall tree really happened in an instant.
“Hello little boy.”
“Keee!!”
Hey, your voice is booming.
Nothing. At this time of year, kids should know how to scream coolly.
I left my body to gravity while still holding on to the kid’s collar.
Now, a powerful shout for 3 seconds in front!
“Keee!!”
Thump!
A roaring sound echoed from my body as it landed on the ground.
As if the shock had been transmitted a little, the blond little boy in my arms cried out trembling.
“Thump, boom! I just thumped!!”
“Oh my gosh!?”
“I’m not kidding!! Uh, are you okay? You hurt your leg…….”
“It’s okay, so please follow me calmly.”
With the little boy on his side, he answered indifferently and headed toward the campus.
His gait was as normal as usual……. No, my legs are a little numb.
The impact of falling from the tree was transmitted to the body even though it was obviously protected by collecting mana in the legs.
Breaking the window, after all, is there something about this kid?
“Wait a minute sir! Let go!”
But the child in his arms didn’t seem to have that awareness.
I was just going to run away, so I gave a little more strength, and the boy panicked and started to have seizures.
“Be still.”
“Boobs!! My chest is touching!!”
“I’m sorry. Not big enough to please a man.”
The small thing is because of Ami-nyeon’s genes.
Anyway, that b*tch doesn’t help my life.
“Oh, no. It’s not…….”
“If my chest is dissatisfied, should I show you my stomach?”
Still, can I just ignore this insignificant body?
As I slowly pulled off the sweater to show the inside, the kid who saw his abs hurriedly hid his eyes.
“Hey! You can’t do that!!”
A boy trembling with his face reddened.
At the same time, the riots that had been happening before had subsided.
“…Hmm?”
You’re so ashamed that you showed off your stomach.
I wondered if it was a girl wearing only a boy’s uniform, but looking at this reaction, it seemed like a boy.
“Oh my gosh~”
So what?
You should try using that as well.
“Did you have a strange thought when you saw the teacher’s belly?”
“That, that’s not it…”
A nervous little boy who is sweating cold.
I whispered in the little boy’s ear.
“Maybe we’ll see something even bigger if we run a little further here.”
“Awesome, amazing…?”
“Do you want to see it?”
As I said that, I put strength into my fingers with the momentum to raise the sweater I had taken off.
With the momentum to show beyond the abs.
“That, stop! I’ll stay calm!!”
But my little boy didn’t seem to have the courage to go that far.
Anyway, there is something to see in such a body full of small muscles.
“Huhu, you are a good kid who listens well.”
But whatever it is, cooperation is a good thing.
After stroking the little boy’s head, I continued walking down the hallway.
***
Take the little boy to the principal’s office.
I continued my explanation to the old principal, Makarov, looking around at the list of freshmen kept there.
“My name is Dale Enburton. 14 Years old. As a freshman of this quarter and the top of the entrance exam……. My hometown is Leninslive.”
“Leninsleeve is located near the kingdom of Toros… ….”
“Yes, it is called Garbage Town.”
A large-scale crustal shift caused by direct damage from war.
As a result, the place where all the garbage from all over the continent came, ironically, it was not even interfered with by each country or government.
In fact, it is a lawless zone that is good for not only garbage but also human garbage.
This was the place where the ‘Chief of the Entrance Examination’ who committed the incident was from.
“… Is this what dragons spawned from the stream?”
No, maybe it’s not a dragon, but a monster.
Considering that the tingling sensation from jumping down from the tree was still there, I couldn’t help but see this kid as a kid.
“Um, over there… ….”
After that, it was a while to talk about this and that with the principal.
The girl sitting on the sofa looked at me with dangerous eyes.
No… It was a boy, not a girl.
For a person from a lawless zone, he was very handsome and timid, but he didn’t really care because it was an individual difference and he could just move on.
It’s surprising that the chief came out of the Lawless Zone in the first place, so should we be surprised by that?
“Would you like some more snacks?”
“Oh, yes.”
Dale listened to me and took the refreshment that was served in front of me with both hands and chewed it… No. If you look closely, you can see that she is biting off the tip of the snack with her front teeth alone.
It’s like a squirrel eating an acorn…
…Ah, looking at it makes my heart tickle for nothing.
It’s good to eat calmly, but isn’t it too harmful to the heart?
“But, I can’t believe it. That kid broke the window with his bare body.”
On the other hand, the old principal looks at Dale with stiff eyes.
As much as I know what kind of existence Maris’ window is, I sympathize with that evaluation to some extent.
But how big the world is, can we just be surprised at every detail?
“It’s surprising to me too, but it’s not very improbable. Do you know that I am a person with abnormal abilities?”
“Abnormal abilities, that child?”
A person with abnormal abilities.
This is a concept that existed even in games, and to put it simply, it refers to those who have powers whose causes cannot be explained even with modern technology and theories.
It’s just that the number is so rare, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
“Honestly, that alone is enough reason for me to take up the role at this academy, regardless of grades. If left alone, they may fall into a dangerous path, but on the contrary, if nurtured well, there is a possibility that they will bloom greatly.”
“…Well, Seine-sensei’s judgment must be correct. You’re the one who came to this academy on the recommendation of none other than the president.”
Heh heh. If you just believe it, you believe it. Do I have to give it a parachute?
Anyway, the rough story is over. I immediately turned my back from my seat and took a seat on the other side of the sofa where the boy was sitting.
At that moment, the boy was startled and swallowed the candy in his mouth.
After that, he looked up at me with a face that looked like he was going to cry at any moment and asked.
“Well, how am I going to be now?”
“Before I explain that, I want to ask you something first.”
After that, he asked while putting the roster of freshmen he had in his hand on the table.
“Dale, have you ever been taught by anyone?”
“…… A teaching?”
“Usually, all the kids who enter this academy have one or two teachers.”
Not all academies are like that, but at Maris Academy, most of the best kids on the continent gather.
Because it goes beyond simple social parties and international exchanges.
Since it is such an important event, many children who have received early education gather, so the current question can be said to be valid.
But.
“Self-taught… ….”
“Self-taught?”
“Yes, I was self-taught. Reading the books I picked up in my hometown and alone…….”
“… ….”
“Is this strange?”
“No what. Things like that happen, too.”
In the first place, there would be no human beings who could be called teachers in the lawless zone… No, rather, it would be dangerous if there were teachers there.
There’s no way that a scholar who drifted into the lawless zone was a proper human being.
“Haven’t you ever used magic before?”
“Yes, eh… …. I tried to do it, but mana didn’t accumulate at all.”
But this is a bit problematic.
Once you learn the theory, anyone can do mana management even if you don’t know magic, but the chief of the entrance exam learned the theory, but mana management itself doesn’t work?
“I get it roughly.”
What abilities does this kid have?
Sigh, I burst into laughter and lifted the refreshment from the table and presented it to Dale.
“…… Teacher?”
“Ah~”
“Yes?”
“Ah, should I?”
Dale is at a loss for what I said.
After that, as if to encourage him, he offered a snack, and Dale reluctantly opened his mouth and took a big bite into the snack.
It’s not like eating like before, but making a crunching sound.
“You are a good boy.”
The boy smiled at me, and the boy blushed and shrank himself.
It’s good that he’s fresh, too, I thought, leaning back on the back of the sofa and bringing the snack to my mouth.
“Well then, I guess I should explain. Along with the current question and answer, what did I find out while bringing you here?”
Dale swallows the sweets in a gulp.
I met his nervous face and told him what I had found out.
