Classes in mock warfare, the first day ended.
The worn out students are aligned with a sad face. It just seemed to seep remorse in its face anyway.
I didn't know I could still do this face because I was shown the difference in desperate power... They had more guts than I imagined.
”Now we're finishing today's mock warfare class! Make sure you do the equipment and other maintenance well!
”” ”Yes!
”And Carona.”
”Yes, what is it?
”Show Lord Fran to the dressing room for the students.”
”Okay, I get it.”
I'm glad Carona is in this class. If you're another student, you're scared for sure.
No, even Carona is a little freaked out. I was just as hungry as the rest of the students, and I busted them with sword moves.
It's just that I've had some conversations, and I guess it's a big deal that I know I'm the one who can talk to if it's not in battle.
”Well, I'll show you.”
”Mm-hmm. Thanks.”
Led by Carona, Fran starts walking.
But there was no conversation between the two, and silence continued. Because Fran is as always, and Carona is nervous.
It was Carona who broke that silence.
”Um...”
”Hmm? What?
”Well, how were we?
That's an out-of-the-box question. Maybe it was a question that I accidentally uttered, not withstanding the silence. Fran is also tilting his neck.
”What do you say?
”I know it doesn't extend to Fran -”
”Hey.”
”Yes?
”Dear, I don't need it”
”Huh?”
”Not Lady Fran, just Fran”
Fran blocked my words and gave me an anxious look, Carona, but soon she looked horrible. Instead, I got confused.
”But Master Fran...”
”It's the same class, so reciprocity. Weena Lane said. Nobility, the displaced, the strong and the weak, it doesn't matter if they're in the same class.”
As a matter of fact, that's what I was told when I was given a mild description of the college by Wiener Lane.
This college is a pretty special place. The students are equal under the Spirit, regardless of their outside status, honor, etc. It is unacceptable for nobles to wear power and behave tyrannically, or for strong men to threaten others with violence.
On the contrary, although it is also unacceptable for the weak to be lazy on the grounds of their position and weakness, or for civilians to clear their daily depression of the nobility.
This meant that Fran and Carona had nothing to do with each other's strength or position and are now reciprocal.
Fran, I'm great when I'm a teacher. When you are a student, you are in the same position as the student. I guess that's the perception.
”So, Fran?
”Mmm.”
”Are we weak?
That's a tough question. From the franc, it's weak. But I'd say they're quite strong in the world. Each had the strength of a Rank E Adventurer and was able to collaborate.
I would have won without a problem if it was around Auga. This time the other guy was too bad.
But Carona doesn't seem that way. The confidence I had seemed to have shattered to pieces of wood.
”We aspired to a special warfare class with the goal of making battle a business. I'm looking to be an adventurer.”
”Mmm.”
”But I didn't get my hands or feet in this mock fight. I didn't think I could win, but in the end I couldn't even return a blow...... With this kind of body, can you really be an adventurer or something?
