Chapter 9 (1/2)
“Man, I’ht! It’s been a while since I’ve seen a student act so boldly in front of the Headmaster”
Mazelan spoke as they exited the room He ruffled the hair on Isaac’s head with much enthusiasm
“Is he really that scary?”
Isaac pushed Mazelan’s hand off He er than he was from his memories of his past It didn’t feel nice to be treated like a child by soer than him
“Of course! He is the Headmaster of the Campus! Most students freeze on the spot or shake so badly they can’t even utter a proper sentence”
“Well, I guess the life-or-death situation I went through had dulled my nerves”
IsaacHe was a e in direct conflict with his superiors if things went sour between the to him
“Is that why your dream is so weird?”
“What do youafter all”
“I assuoal of that dream is to be successful?”
“Uh, yes?”
“Is it a successful life if you becoe fiefdom as your own?”
“For the most part, yes”
“And in order to achieve that successful life, you will need to fight both physically and ers If you lose, that’s the end of the dreaht other challengers off to keep that success, right?”
“That’s right”
“The point of going through all of this is to live an easy and coht?”
“…Maybe?”
“That’s why I’ve decided to achievethe process Sure I will lose out on the amount of riches I’d make but that’s a loss I can deal with”
“I, is that so?”
Although confused at first, Mazelan quickly saw through Isaac’s misconception He smirked and messed with Isaac’s hair a second time
“And where did you learn to speak like that? I almost fell for it”
Just as everyone has their own views and perspectives, everyone has their own personal drea life wasn’t the only type of success in the world
“Well that’s the successful life I dream of This is what happens when you’re tired of all the schemes and plots you’ve dealt with since childhood”
“No I think you’re wrong on that part”
Mazelan was sure of it Those who had been isolated and reeance or disappear after failing miserably Not nore and stay away from it all He was indeed special, and it ave hiot in the car to head out of the Caan to explain ritten on the docu’s first I’ll let you knohat position you’re in”
“Please do”
“Your existence is a nuisance for the people in Campus”
“… Do people ever tell you that you’re a bit too straightforith your words?”
Isaac knew that fact deep inside him, but it still hurt to hear it from someone else
“Hm? My friends do say that sometimes”
“Continue”
“It’s not that we don’t receive new students who are as old as you But those students are usually transferred here froreat prowess or talent in their field of expertise You, however, entered the Campus without any education purely because you are a noble”
“Sounds like I’ht The commoners will hate you because you bypassed all the pain and effort they went through to get in the Cae nobles also won’t like you, as theythe reputation of the nobles in the Campus as a whole The professors and lecturers are proud of teaching the finest andminds in the E standard for a specific uneducated individual”
“This may sound harsh, but do you have any friends?”
“Huh? How did you know? I’ve been trying to become friends with everyone, but they all tend to avoid me But I still have a few close friends”
What heroic souls they have
The people who have acclimated to this man’s direct way of words must not be ordinary Isaac replied with his heartfelt expression
“I don’t knoho they are, but they are your truest of friends Treat them well”
At first Mazelan was confused when Isaac spoke his words of wisdoan to shake Isaac’s head
“And who do you think you are giving advices like that? You’re still too young to give life lessons to !”
