Chapter 12 (1/2)
Two Months Pass, Ti!
For the twocontinued In Martial Arts, everyone passed the long distance running and practice swings, and finallybasic forh all of the practice swings now, there were a bunch of ti load’s increased any ain
In Tathrough to Ruu and Li to take shape Ruu’s so strong that it’s dangerous, so I’etss for itself as it fights
As for Foreign Studies, I’ about detailed information and the histories of each country Apparently, the History class studies the history of the Kingdom in detail Guess it’s like the difference between “World History” and “japanese History”
In Magic, we’ve been divided into Offense, Recovery and Support to endeavor in our studies The proportion appears to be Offense = Recovery >>> Support, because the people who are studying Support ic are considerably fewer I was able to ain shown the unfortunate circuic Next tis huh As I had read before, the classification of Supportlike after deciding what systeic you want to learn, you have the teacher teach you The number of students is small, but the drawback is that the number of teachers is small too
In Survival, it see exercise will be held soon Noif you can’t use it in real life, so we’ll be doing a survival exercise in an inland forest a little further away froets too dangerous, it’s best for that not to happen Gotta make sure to review Looks like otta maintain my sword
“A training ca it in a place where monsters come out after all, eh” [Tsuchio]
“I guess so But they say they’ll lead us just in case, so I don’t think any big problems will happen…” [Lucas]
“They’ll definitely , but it’ll be tough in a forest” [Tsuchio]
“She can’t fly, huh What about Li?” [Lucas]
“That un’s still inexperienced It’s got coht in the woods near the town y’know When’s it gonna be announced, where we’re going for training? ” [Tsuchio]
“…I think it’ll be soon, but…us students need time to prepare too” [Lucas]
As we practice swinging our swords, Lucas and I chat about the hands-on training After swinging our swords for two rained into our bodies Well, we’ll still have to practice h I don’t have the skill, I to want to be able to fight to some extent
“S’not good enough to just swing your sword! Ya gotta think as ya practice!”
so the teacher says I look at the teacher’s for, but…
“Sighh, I want to train ic Besides that, I’ve gotta research different s too…” [Tsuchio]
“I think that’s better than being bored, though Oh right, could you teach et some of it” [Lucas]
“All right, let’s shoot for after lunch” [Tsuchio]
“Mkay!” [Lucas]
After finishi+ng the Martial Arts class and lunch, I head towards the bestiary Ruu probably hasn’t come back yet, so maybe I’ll practice a little bit of martial arts with Lime
The day after I asked for Ruu to bring back hu merman-like s growing out of theh, it looks uess
After feeding Lies have occurred Lier, and its hands and legs have gotten longer Its shape has gotten closer to a humanIts color has also becoic It can only create balls of water now, but I can get excited about the future I increased the solvent’s concentration further, so the ability to produce soable to turn the surfaces of its body hard It’s also learned how to sharpen its nails, which have strengthened its claw attacks Eventually though, I’d want it to be able to harden its complete body
It looks like Ruu’s been working hard without erShe’s been strong frorowth has been slower, but she is steadily building up experience and ht close quarters, but if she trains her strengthening erHowever, for now it doesn’t look like she’ll be turning huet experience in one go through y’know…
“Yo, ho, hah!”
“…!” purupuru!
Lies my wooden sword and comes at me with both hands I parry the its bloith my sword, and fro “When I’et better without training, and you can’t use just practice swings by theht Those forms too, I can’t easily do them with my arms
Up until recently I’ve just been taking Lirowth, I’ve started to throw outpretty into a pretty good shape with close quarters combat Man, that means I can’t sit on my ass anymore
“Soiya!”
“…” purun!
I pretend to s instead, and brandish ed to win huh I’ve never done ree Only works with those weaker than h
“Li me’s only a matter of time”
“…” nod nod
“It’s sad that you agree with that…”
Well, can’t be helped if it’s true I draater with a ladle froulp Hydration’s important
“…” purupuru
“Lime you wanna drink too?”
“…” nod
In the blink of an eye, the water I pour on it disappears Not enough with only that huh; it’s jumped directly into the bucket to drink
“…” purupuru
“You wanna eatsome over”
As though its sto for metal to eat I wonder if the fact that water by itself isn’t satisfying enough is because its appetite has increased Was it because it ate the Goblin or Merestures have beco closer Really want them to evolve quickly
I bring out several failed swords froetfor more andso much is a worry
“Here, I brought it over”
“…” slap slap
Liround as if it’s saying it’s not enough…Have I been spoiling it a bit too much?
“Ruu’s gonna coonna do if you can’t finish her souvenir”
“…” furufuru
It’s shaking its head as if to say “Not gonna happen” This is just like that, huh, when kids say they’ll ht before Even if you try to scold theet hh, oh well
“Fine, I’ll bring ive you snacks anymore”
“…” Puru
Jeez, what a, I feel like I’ve co a parent…
Afterwards, Ruu brought back a giant squid, which Lime ate in one bite
A few days later, as everyone gathered in the classrooave us the schedule for our hands-on training exercise
“The practical training exercise will be held in three days time! Finish your preparations toht after breakfast, so don’t stuff yerselves!”
The sudden announcement of three days’ time causes a stir in the classroom Yeah, that’s a pretty rushed announcement Couldn’t you have told us sooner?
“Also, group up for the activity by the end of today! Four people one party, alright!”
At those words, the stir takes a turn louderWell, there are lots of things to think about when roupOn top of that within the day; Hope there isn’t anyone left out…Me? No problem After all,
“Tsuchio-kun, let’s partner up~”
“Tsuchio-dono, we are partnering-dearimasu!”
I have two friends ill call out to me like so Especially for Lucas, the fellas behind ht about to call out to him but have frozen Man, this kid sure is popular with the boys He should probably have a little bit more self-awareness about his looks
“Sure, but what should we do about the last person? Anyone have an idea?”
“Mmm, everyone’s already pretty roup yet?”
“My friends too, they’ve already solidified their own groups-dearimasu, so I don’t think there are any people not partied up-dearimasu”
“Yeah, true Alright well, please ask around to see if there’s anyone without a group I’ll also ask people I know”
After saying that, we part ways momentarily Technically, I have acquaintances that I take classes with but… Apparently, it seeroup My leads collapsed all at once…
In less than a minute, I’m back to where I started Of course, the other two haven’t coathered up and having a blast, I’m the only one all alone How sad
“Excuse meee… Is it possible you’re not paired up yet?”
“Nna?”
As I was staring off into space, someone calls out to me When I looked to the direction of the voice, a sot short reddish hair, with an aura that screams “I love exercise!” And then there are the round, black ears hanging on top his head…Bear ears?
“Well, umm”
“Ah, ahh We’ve only got three people right now”
“Really!? Uroup!”
His bear ears are twitching I would wonder about bear ears on a man, but they’re sure cute on a little boy…I’m not a shotacon, y’know?
