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.
"Thats
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 Shish.
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
