“Ehh ….. Senpai …… Senpai ……”
The rays of sunlight passed through the windows in the morning, at that time a student was asleep.
“If you don’t get up, we will be late …… Today is a very important day, today is the first practice of combat training ……”
She had big eyes, her cheeks were pink. Her brown hair was well groomed and divided into small pigtails. She may have a strong temperament, but this time she seemed like a shy puppy.
When the adorable girl with a weak voice spoke, a red-haired young man was lying on his bed, he seemed to be still asleep, only his snoring could be heard.
“…..Okay then.”
No matter how much she screamed, the young man didn’t seem to wake up, so the girl brought her hands to her chest. Then she went looking for something funnel-shaped somewhere, she had some kind of plan, then placed one end of the funnel in the boy’s mouth.
And so–
“The beautiful water in the atmosphere, let’s get together!”
[Heraldic Words] engraved. In response to the girl’s [Spiritual Power], a blue pattern that resembled water emerged from nothingness.
“Heraldic Arts”
All objects in this world are composed of “Elemental”.
Large amounts of water begin to emerge from empty air.
Borrowing the power of an Elemental Spirit (Undine), water that evaporates starts to collect in the air. This is the first level [Create Water] art. The funnel begins to be filled with water.
Fluid began to flow into the young man’s mouth.
* Gulp * Gulp * Gulp * Gulp… ..!
“Cough … Cough … Cough … I almost died ….. Cough! ”
Large amounts of water flowed suddenly through the young man’s mouth. The red-haired young man, Huntis Harmilion, after coughing a few times, finally woke up.
“G-Good morning ……”
After nearly drowning, Huntis looked towards the bedside.
There is a girl there. Her name is Maron Mamado.
She is first year. In the same class as Huntis, both of them are in the 29th Knight Order unit.
“Ah, ‘Good morning’, your ass ……! Why are you suddenly trying to kill me !? ”
Maron quickly shook his head.
“I didn’t want to kill you! I-It’s just that Senpai didn’t want to wake up …… So I thought it would be better to wake him up with some water ……”
“But you must throw the water at him, not drown him!”
“B-But, Senpai is awake …”
“Of course, I nearly died after all…”
“S-sorry … But I’ve heard that drinking water after sleeping will make your day better …”
“What you do is torture!”
Huntis said it in a very rude tone, Maron with fear shrugged his body. Her two little pigtails were moving, she looked like a scared dog. Because she looked so scared, Huntis couldn’t help but admit his mistakes.
“…… Why do you care about me? I mean, you have other things to do right?”
No matter what he said, she simply replied.
“W-Well …… t-that’s …… because …… Well, we are, after all, a team, aren’t we?”
Maron panicked, Huntis stared at her.
“You know that other people don’t care about me, do you?”
Lazy repeater Huntis, who became a first year for the second time about a month ago, has rarely attended classes since. Therefore, the team that he had is no longer with him.
Maron is the only one who still supports him.
“I-do … B-but, I, I think it’s bad to leave you alone… So….”
“……”
“H-Ehh …… Senpai …… Did something happen ……?”
Maron tilted his head slightly and asked shyly.
Huntis with a serious look did not answer. Then he lowered his gaze and sighed.
“It’s all wet ……”
“I’ll help you clean it … ……”
Maron took out a handkerchief and approached with the intention of drying Huntis’s wet clothes.
“No, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, it will dry up soon.”
“But I …… want to help you ……”
Maron said in a low voice, insisting that she wanted to dry Huntis’ wet body. But the wettest part is his lower body, so this can cause a misunderstanding.
(They are big.)
Huntis’s gaze accidentally falls on certain body part.
Maron’s breasts are not in accordance with her body, since her breasts are big, but her body is small. The buttons on his uniform looked like it was going to burst. Huntis kept seeing them.
“S-Senpai ……?”
Due to the nature of man, Huntis cannot help but see Maron’s breasts.
At that moment, the wind with incredible speed struck Huntis’s forehead severely.
“Aw, it hurts.”
“Gosh, it’s still early morning and you’re doing something like that, Huntis Harmilion.”
Despite the pain in his head, Huntis could see that a beautiful woman dressed in the instructor’s outfit had come to his room.
Her age is around twenty. Her body is slim, she has big breasts and her hips are compact, it can be said that she is an outstanding figure. In addition, her legs are attractive, since she is using a skirt.
Any man will be attracted to that body. Even though her temperament is bad … Huntis thought … no, now is not the time for that.
As if to prove his speculation, Instructor Pascali Paretto, who had been with Huntis since a year ago, looked at him sharply.
“You bastard, don’t you realize what a disgusting face you are making now?”
“Ah, sorry. I’m not dirty minded. By the way, you look beautiful as usual, sensei. ”
“Tsk, forget it.”
Despite knowing that Huntis was only teasing her, Instructor Paretto softened her attitude and snorted.
“Anyway, I remember that today is your first combat training day, right? Change your clothes, I’ll wait for you at the training camp. One more thing, you will be the captain. ”
“I know this question is a bit late, but why should I be the captain, sensei?”
“Because you’ve held back a year, of course.”
“I refuse if due to personal factors.”
“That is not true. Now get up quickly. ”
The attitude of the Instructor Paretto did not change. But Huntis deliberately coughed, and pointed at the wet bed.
“Cough-cough … I’m sorry, Sensei. Looks like I’m not feeling well today. Can’t you see how much water there is? I nearly died. ”
Again, a gust of wind hit Huntis’ forehead.
“Fool. What kind of excuse is that? ”
“It is true.”
“Are you kidding?”
Instructor Paretto frowned. After a time it returned to its original expression.
“… I see, you still wet yourself at this age.”
“No, that’s not it.”
“S-senpai … A couple years ago I also wet my bed. ”
“I didn’t say that. Anyway, you are the one who poured this water, didn’t you? ”
Huntis looked at Maron who looked shy.
“But this is not possible. Huntis Harmilion is absent from training by reason of bedwetting. ”
The instructor took notes from his pocket.
“Y-yes. Even I’m ashamed if I miss class because I wet my bed … ”
As Huntis quickly stood up, Instructor Paretto made a disgusted expression.
“Stay away. I don’t want you to stain me with your urine.”
“Please don’t get me wrong, Sensei.”
Instructor Paretto sighed heavily.
“Enough of the joke. I’ll wait for you. But if you don’t come, the whole academy will know that you wet your bed. Come on Maron Mamado. ”
“Y-yes….”
After Instrctor Paretto threatened him, together with Maron they left the room.
Shortly before leaving, Maron turned around and said:
“S-senpai … I will wait for you outside the dormitory …”
(Ahh ~~~~ The trouble is finally gone.)
Seeing the two of them leave, Huntis murmured. Reluctantly he made his bed. Then he washed his face and combed his hair, put on his uniform, and ate the bread he had bought before then drank milk.
Doing all of that only took him five minutes, Huntis then looked at his right hand.
“……”
As he stared at the bottom of his palm, a red pattern began to appear, it looked like a flame——
But in his mind this was a failure, then the pattern turned into a mist and then disappeared.
“I can not do it.”
Huntis wailed and coldly whispered.
Then he picked up the sword leaning against the wall, and left the room.
Heraldic Art is a spell used to summon the elementals that make up this world –– “Elemental Spirits”.
Fire, water, wind, stone, sun, crystallization from the sun and ice.
The design of the Heraldic symbol can have a variety of patterns – that is why “Enchantment” is very dependent on the technique used.
For example, by borrowing the power of the spirit of the [Salamander], the Fire Spell can be used in heating or cooking. If its power is based on light, it can be used as a light at night. If the strength is based on iron or stone, it can be used as building construction.
And if its strength is based on life, it can be used to treat wounds and heal diseases.
In addition, Heraldic Art is also used in the military.
That is why, the Heraldic Knights were formed to protect the peace and government of the Holy Karurona Empire.
The chanting of the early spells is not difficult to learn. But the higher the level of the spell, the more complicated it becomes to execute. Therefore, regular Knights must study the Chanting Spell during their two year training. For this purpose the Knight of Materia Academy was established.
“Ah….”
Leaving the room, with a bored expression, he then headed for the Academy.
Chirculus, the place where the Academi Knight of Materia was located, was the third largest city in the empire. The campus covers three of the seven total district and has a large area.
Of course, due to its vast area, people are often misunderstood as the residence of the nobles because there are many luxurious buildings and gardens.
Regardless of identity and social status, anyone can become an Heraldic Knight.
However, “Knight” is a title that is only pinned to nobles who obtain military achievements. As a result, most cadets are nobles. Therefore the Academy is full of noble children from all over the empire, and the campus is intentionally designed with an environment that suits them.
“S-senpai, you should be more punctual….”
Maron followed Huntis. Unexpectedly, she was really waiting outside the dormitory for him.
Ater entering the basement of the building, the landscape becomes different, and although this is rather monotonous. Many students gather here.
Students in the academy are required to form “units” consisting of five to six people. In combat training or other operations, they will move together in the team. After completing their monster hunting mission, each of them will get points personally.
Today’s combat training is scheduled to involve the 26th to 30th units with a limit of five team members per unit.
“Oh, Maron-chan! Good morning ~~! ”
A girl cheerfully waved her hand.
Her stature was slim, her skin color is somewhat tanned, her eyes sparkle like a child, and you can see fang sticking out of her mouth. Compared to Maron’s shy attitude, this girl gave a cheerful impression. Because of her long hair that was tied back, it fluttered like a tail when running.
The girl’s name is Mina Miklan.
She belongs to the 29th unit along with Huntis and Maron.
Maron sighed “Ah!” when Mina suddenly hugs her from behind, playing her breasts without warning.
“Nyahaha! This part just makes me jealous. ”
Mina deliberately played her breasts, squeezing them from top to bottom, left to right …
“B-stop!”
Even though Maron had tears in his eyes while trying to escape from Mina’s fad, she didn’t let her go.
“Nyahahaa ~ Fine, fine ~~ Owaa!”
Another girl from behind hit Mina’s cheek and pushed her aside.
“Are you okay, Maron?”
She immediately approached Maron, a young girl with shoulder-length silver hair that was bright like a mirror. She has beautiful face features with emerald green eyes, she is like a doll.
“Ohh … S-good morning, Shisu-can. I am fine….”
Maron weakly answered.
“Are you really all right? Your breasts, are your breasts okay? ”
“I-I’m fine … But … Please don’t touch it. ”
“I won’t know if it’s really alright if I don’t touch it.”
It is unknown why she insisted on touching Maron’s breasts. The girl is Shinsurine Shirubelsto. He is also a member of the 29th unit.
Suddenly her cheek was beaten, Mina complained.
“Uuuu ~~~~ It hurts, Shisu-chan, if you leave my face damaged, I won’t be able to get married.”
“I don’t allow it. I will not forgive anyone who touches Maron’s breasts. ”
“Aren’t you also touching her breasts now?”
“No problem, because Maron’s breasts are mine!”
Mina pouted after hearing that. After all, Shinsui said something inconsistent.
“Eh ~ Why can’t I touch Maron-chan’s breasts?”
“Like I said. Maron’s breasts are only mine. ”
“You have to share it!”
“S-stop you two!”
Seeing his two friends fight, Maron broke up in a voice almost crying. No, she actually cried.
“Huh ~~?”
Suddenly, Mina’s gaze was fixed on Huntis.
“Hun-chan! What a surprise, it turns out you’re still alive! ”
Mina excitedly started jumping up and down with a smile.
Then, the silver-haired girl Shisurine gave him a look of disgust.
“So you’re still alive … it looks like Maron failed.”
“What a friendly greeting, so you who taught her that kind of water trick?”
Huntis snapped, Shinsurine with a flat face pretending to be innocent.
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand, don’t make such a scary face. ”
“Are you mocking me?”
“Hah? Are you deaf? If you feel unwell, I suggest you go see a doctor. ”
“No need.”
“So. Then I’ll take you to the grave digger instead. ”
“Don’t treat me like a corpse.”
“I will take this opportunity to be frank–– ”
No matter how hard the reproach that Huntis made, Shinsurine was always able to respond casually.
“Honestly, the boys at the Academy are very annoying, especially you’re the worst, you always sleep and have no motivation, you’re just trash. If you continue like this, you will never become a Knight, it would be better if you just die. ”
She said lightly.
“If you don’t change, I won’t forgive you … For the sake of Maron and myself … ”
He paused for a moment.
“Don’t you understand? For the sake of Maron and me … ” After a quick glance, her face turned red. But then she shook her head and her face returned to her usual cold expression.
“No, this is a secret between the two of us. I can’t tell you. ”
“I-Is that so …”
Huntis had a hunch that if he asked further, something bad would happen.
“Stop stop! Why did you leave me alone? Chat with girls like that! ”
Suddenly someone interrupted in, a slender young man with military haircut and an oval-shaped face.
He is also a member of the 29th unit.
“… Who is he?”
“Ah?! I’m Dank! .. Dank Defrik! ”
Feeling unnoticed, Dank mentioned his name out loudh.
“Oh, I remember. Sorry, I almost forgot. You’re very noisy after all. ”
“Because I’m noisy, you forgot my name! Normal people on the contrary. I once experienced this when I met a girl I liked when I was a child: ‘Ah ~~ Dank, I remember you, you were very talkative in the past.’ I’m not sad when she said that, really! But she seems to change. Unlike before, she was very cute, like an angel. Arghh !! Time is really cruel … Wait, why am I saying this to you! ”
“… Hey, you say it yourself!”
This person is very noisy.
“Shut up! Can’t you be a little polite to a senior who is one year older than you? You may held back for one year, but I’m two years! ”
Seeing Dank, who proudly revealed his past, Huntis gave him a sympathetic face.
“I see, because of the stress you’re experiencing, it’s only natural for you to become bald. I’m sorry…”
“I’m not bald! This is a military style short cut. And the girls will surely admire me. Don’t underestimate me! ”
“Military-style haircut … oh, I see.”
Indeed, if you look closely he is not completely bald. The top of his hair sticks out like a thorn.
“But unfortunately, I’m not interested in being praised by men. But if it’s Paretto-onee-san, I’ll be happy to be praised by her! No, it’s more appropriate to say that I want to lick her! ”
Behind Dank an incredible killing aura could be felt.
“I see … You want to lick me. If you want, lick me then! But first you have to lick my fist first! ”
“Poof …”
Instructor Paretto hit Dank right in the face.
“Not allowed to call me nee-san, call me instructor!”
She looked at Dank who was lying on the ground coldly, and then gave an announcement to all the students present.
Note:
1. Lick in Japanese
“As I said last time, today you have to sneak into the underground labyrinth and use monsters as opponents for actual combat training. If you were still half-hearted, then you will find a miserable fate …… Form your teams and follow me”
Instructor Paretto made the preamble, all the students were left with a nervous look.
In the middle of the basement is a staircase leading down to the underground labyrinth.
Originally, the vestiges of an ancient civilization -Yureshia- were discovered during the construction of this academy. When the investigation began, a group of monsters were already living here.
“Even though this is a low risk labyrinth, it is still difficult to predict what will happen. Don’t let your guard down!”
Instructor Paretto severely reminded the students.
Inside it was so dark, it was more appropriate to call it a cave than a labyrinth. The sound of footsteps could be heard as the crowd walked in darkness.
Finally, they came to a more open area.
“The training area is here. Each time monsters appeared, each group would fight it one by one. Now starting with unit 26! ”
This combat training went smoothly.
Although a group of monsters appeared, as expected from the students who passed in entrance exam, the first two groups succeeded in defeating the monsters without difficulty. And now it’s the 28th unit turn in battle.
Everyone with a serious expression, watched attentively at the fighting of other groups ……
Everyone except Unit 29.
“Maron, wake me up when it’s our turn.”
“S-senpai … you can’t sleep in a place like this …”
“Maron, forget about that guy. Come with me, let’s keep increasing our love..”
“Em ~~ Mina is little hungry … ..”
“The place I was beaten by Neesan was really painful… But this pain can remind me at that happy moment. Hahahaha.”
It was time when voice of Instructor Paretto came.
“Hey! Unit 29. Get ready!”
It seems that Unit 28 has also finished their training. Huntis and the others prepared.
“I-I’m nervous….”
Maron’s body was stiff with nerves, it also happened when she tried to walk and her face seemed also uncomfortable.
“Don’t be nervous Maron. Take it easy. ”
“Yeah, take it easy. And you will become a monster food. ”
In response to Huntis’ suggestion, Shisurine commented on scary things.
“… .. It’s okay, Maron. I will protect you. ”
“Shisu-chan….”
Maron brought her hands to her chest, Shisurine had given her confidence with her gaze.
“… On the contrary, you also have to protect me until you die.”
“Shisu-chan?”
Shisurine had changed her gaze as she spoke these words. It made Maron look scared.
On the other hand, Dank arrogantly swung his sword.
“No matter what kind of monster you are, come on! I’ll beat you all at once !! ”
“Uwaaaaa!!”
He suddenly screamed. It looks like he accidentally hit his calf.
“Ugh ~~ it looks like it’s broken ~~~ but as long as Nee-san gently touches it and says “Pain pain go away!!~~ ♥️♥️” then it will surely be healed soon.”
“What kind of fools break their own leg? I’ll just spit on you and keep you going.”
Instructor Paretto calmly refused. But he didn’t give up easily.
“Please spit on me, Nee-san …”
“If you really want to be spit on, then Mina will be happy to help. Bah* Bah* Bah*.”
“Uwaa, what are you doing? Don’t spit it onto my face! ”
“Dank~, you look better!”
“Stop joking! Look, monsters are coming!”
Right after Instructor Paretto shouted, some shadows emerged from the darkness.
They are Shadow Bats.
Its length did not exceed 30 centimeters, it is a small monster. Despite that their fast movements, but as long as you are calm, even without using a Heraldic Art you can defeat them. Although if you are bitten, it will cause a little pain, because its teeth are very small, but it will not cause serious injuries.
Huntis is the captain of the group, so he had to direct the plan.
“Our goal is to eliminate all monsters.”
“It’s classic plan! But I didn’t expect anything from you from beginning.”
Although Dank blatantly insulted him, he still rushed out to the front lines.
But others did not go after him.
“Wait, why didn’t you guys follow me?” Dank was surprised.
“I am the captain, important role like me must stay behind.” Huntis said.
“My job is only to protect Maron.” Said Shisurine.
“Uwooooo !?”
Five bats began to attack Dank.
“Wait, I’m not ready yet! I said wait! ”
Dank desperately shouted, but of course the monsters did not stop. They keep biting, so he runs away.
“Are you cowards? Five against one !? Do you think that’s fair? ”
“Mina will help you ~~”
The only one who helped Dank was Mina. In her hands she has a pair of iron fist, blue and white electric sparks spread from the gloves.
This is the application of the Heraldic Art called “Armanent.” Turning spirits into weapons that wrap hands, this type of technique is very difficult to do.
Depending on the user’s level of expertise, its power can reach an unimaginable level.
…… Only if the attack manage to hit the enemy.
“Uryaaaaaa!”
She shouted, but as a result the monsters moved quickly … So the attack was only passed through the air.
“Doryaaaaa! Doryaaaaa! Doryaaaa! ”
She screamed every time she punched. The routine is: Punching, shouting. The bats move away. Punching, screaming. The bats move away. Punching, screaming. The bats move away.
“Mina Miklan, don’t shout every time you attack!”
Instructor Paretto gave her advice, but …
“This makes me more comfortable when screaming! Apart from that it looks cool! ”
“Then hit the enemy!”
“Ah, ah, ah … I, what should I do …?”
As Mina and Instructor Paretto were talking, Maron panicked in fear.
“Maron Mamado! Don’t worry, calm down! ”
“Kyaaa …!”
One of the bats chasing Dank suddenly changes its target and attacks Maron. Fortunately, she immediately duck down and the bat just passed over her head.
Shades of anger suddenly appeared in Shisurine’s eyes.
“Bastard! I will give you a painful death!”
In response to the chanting of the spell, the air turned silver.
The ice spirit that was summoned by Heraldic Art showed its power.
It was the second level of Heraldic Art [Freezing].
Cold air spread throughout the area. The bat immediately froze and fell to the ground.
“You ugly and dirty bat, how dare you attack my cute Maron!”
Shisurine did not immediately kill the bat. She trampled the bat cruelly. Then chant the Heraldic Art to summon the sword and use it to pierce the bat’s wings.
“Kii ~ Kii ~ Ki ~~” The monster groaned in pain.
“Fuu, fuu. Enjoy the pain. I will torture you slowly until you die!” She laughed like crazy.
“What are you doing, Shisurine Shirubelsto?”
Her behavior was too strange, even Instructor Paretto was surprised.
At that moment, laughter burst out from crowd around.
“Uh, what is this? … It stinks! This is urine! ”
It seemed that Dank was soaked by bat urine.
“Darkness please come! Take away his vision and hope!”
Dank cast a spell, Heraldic Spirit of Dark showed its power.
As a result, dark mist appeared in the air.
Everyone’s vision turned black. This is the first level Heraldic Art, [Blackout].
However…
“It hurts! What happens to these bats? Why did you can still see me !? Are you super monsters?”
“Dank! [Blackout] doesn’t work on bats! ”
“Is that so! I just, you know, ugh … Damn it! ”
Dank was bitten by a herd of bats and screamed in pain.
“Dank-san …!”
Maron wants to help Dank.
“Uhm, sword … sharp wind sword, cut everything!”
Heraldic Art second level of the wind element [Wind Blade]. Maron frantically recited her spell.
But wind she summoned did not hit the bats, but shaved all of Dank’s hair instead.
The laugh burst louder than before.
“My military style hair, arghh …!”
“Nyahahaha, bald, bald! That suits you better!”
Dank shouted in exasperation, on the other hand Mina clapped her hands while mocking him.
“What the hell are you doing?!”
“S-sorry!”
Maron looked glum, angry Dank kept holding his head.
Suddenly scream echoed through the area.
“It is enough!”
Instructor Paretto shouted in a loud voice. She swung her spear and all the bats immediately fell to the ground. Everyone who saw the Instructor, they could tell that she was very angry.
“Unit 29!”
She destroyed all the monsters in that place. The labyrinth echoes every time she screams.
“Enough!! You assholes, go with the others!!””
Instructor Paretto expression was very fierce, Unit 29 quickly obeyed her order.
…
“It’s the first time I’ve seen such a mess in training. This is no place to be a comedian!”
After class ended, Unit 29 remained at the practice site. Instructor Paretto was giving them a hard scolding. Several veins could be seen on her beautiful face.
“Hehehe, we’re not that great ~~”
Mina saying this, she scratched her head.
“This is not a compliment, Mina Miklan. Eliminate your ridiculous nature, do not make vain movements. Training is not a game. Be more serious!”
Instructor Paretto replied angrily. The girl dropped her shoulders in frustration after being scolded.
The Instructor then direct her anger at the person next to Mina, Dank. Then recite Heraldic Art [Life] to restore his hair.
“Dank Defrik!”
“Yes, Nee-san!”
A fist hit Dank’s jaw violently at high speed.
“I told you not to call me Nee-san!”
Instructor Paretto glared at him and pulled her fist.
“Attacking as a group is coward? Fair fight? Such concepts do not exist in the brains of monsters. And also you use [Blackout] on bats, that’s a very stupid thing … Hey, why are you trembling? ”
“Please keep on scolding me, Nee-san!”
Instructor Paretto then kicked Dank in the stomach and he fell on the ground.
Next was the girl who was curled up while holding her head.
“Maron Mamado. You’re always scared in battle. Fortunately the enemy is not strong. If you want to use strong Heraldic Art, make sure you don’t attack your teammates next time. ”
“O-okay …”
Instructor then looked at the silver-haired girl.
“Shisurine Shirubelsto. What are you really thinking? Why did you torture the bat? ”
“That’s my revenge.”
Shisurine only justified her actions. So this only gives Instructor Paretto a headache.
“Don’t let your personal feelings affect your actions, Shisurine Shirubelsto. On the battlefield, it is a most despicable act. Do you think you can be better next time? ”
“Yes.”
“Now, Huntis Harmillion!”
Huntis is the last. Instructor Paretto changed her tone of voice. Her tone of voice seemed as if she gave up on that guy.
Huntis has known Instructor Paretto since a year ago. And also used to listening her nagging. He also understood that Instructor Paretto were always hard on students. Therefore, he also intends to deal with it as usual.
“… You, if you don’t want to do this, why are you still in the academy now?”
However, what came this time was a low voice, indicating how disappointed she was. This time, Huntis also did not know how to answer.
“If you don’t want to change, you can pack your bags and go back to your hometown.”
Then, unexpectedly Instructor Paretto said something poisonous.
“…”
Huntis can only be silent.
“I’m done.”
After saying that, Instructor Paretto left the training building.
“The instructor said it’s not unreasonable.”
In the corner of the Cafeteria table, Huntis ate his lunch.
He was bored to put stir-fried vegetables in his mouth.
“Ehh … S-senpai …”
Suddenly someone called him, looking up, he found Maron. She was holding a plate with dishes, and looked interactively at face of Huntis and empty seat in front of her.
Huntis saw her intention and said in bored attitude.
“You don’t want to sit?”
“T-thank you.”
Maron thanked him and carefully sat in front of Huntis.
Huntis continued his lunch in silence. He secretly squinted at Maron and found that she didn’t move the food in front of her. Because it was very strange, Huntis looked over to her. As a result, when their eyes meet, Maron’s face turned red, she quickly turned around and began to eat her lunch.
“It-tadakimasu..!”
“That’s not a fork.”
“Huh … Is this a knife?”
“You can’t eat stir-fry with a knife right?”
“Auuu …”
Maron bowed her head, her twin pigtails twitching.
“Maron, you are not mistaken. You can use the knife to stab animal in front of you. Come on! Don’t hesitate to stab him.”
“Don’t say such terrible things.”
Huntis turned to the source of the voice, then found Shisurine with a fierce look.
“Are you okay, Maron? Did this animal do something to you? “
“Uh, um, not yet …”
“Not yet? What do you mean I will to do something to you? “
“It’s possible, maybe you poisoned her lunch without his knowledge.”
“Can you be quiet?”
“S-sorry …”
“No, I’m not talking to you …”
Huntis began to feel a headache.
At that time, a black-haired girl passed by Huntis
Huntis looked at her like a stranger.
In his heart he mocked himself.
(I’m really stupid, if she were here surely they would also come here.)
“S-senpai …?”
“… I am fine.”
Maron looked at Huntis curiously, but he answered in coldy manner.
“Hey, why does this academy accept Yamatai people?”
Shortly after the black-haired girl passed, the cruel sentence came from nowhere.
“Damn it. Taking classes with slaves made me uncomfortable. They don’t deserve to be called knights. “
The words came from two people sitting nearby. The black haired girl bit her lower lip.
Discrimination against the Yamatai has become commonplace in this Knight Academy, with most of the students being noble children.
Because of the massive slaves rebellion that broke out decades ago, the empire has banned slavery.
However, even if the current status of slaves is gone, the inherent discrimination cannot be eliminated. Yamatai nation, who spearheaded this rebellion, have killed many nobles. As a result, the public – especially from the aristocracy – showed strong discrimination against them.
This serious situation also occurred at the Academy of Knights. To avoid conflict, the Academy allowed the Yamatai to register.
“Even though you’re noble, you don’t have the right to say that …”
“Ah?”
“Hey, you! What did you just say…”
The ears of the duo were very sharp, they could hear Huntis murmuring and immediately flashed hostility toward him.
“… No, I’m just muttering to myself.”
“Ah, senpai …”
While not staring at the two of them, Huntis stood up and left Cafeteria, spending only half of his lunch.
“Ehh ….. Senpai …… Senpai ……”
The rays of sunlight passed through the windows in the morning, at that time a student was asleep.
“If you don’t get up, we will be late …… Today is a very important day, today is the first practice of combat training ……”
She had big eyes, her cheeks were pink. Her brown hair was well groomed and divided into small pigtails. She may have a strong temperament, but this time she seemed like a shy puppy.
When the adorable girl with a weak voice spoke, a red-haired young man was lying on his bed, he seemed to be still asleep, only his snoring could be heard.
“…..Okay then.”
No matter how much she screamed, the young man didn’t seem to wake up, so the girl brought her hands to her chest. Then she went looking for something funnel-shaped somewhere, she had some kind of plan, then placed one end of the funnel in the boy’s mouth.
And so–
“The beautiful water in the atmosphere, let’s get together!”
[Heraldic Words] engraved. In response to the girl’s [Spiritual Power], a blue pattern that resembled water emerged from nothingness.
“Heraldic Arts”
All objects in this world are composed of “Elemental”.
Large amounts of water begin to emerge from empty air.
Borrowing the power of an Elemental Spirit (Undine), water that evaporates starts to collect in the air. This is the first level [Create Water] art. The funnel begins to be filled with water.
Fluid began to flow into the young man’s mouth.
* Gulp * Gulp * Gulp * Gulp… ..!
“Cough … Cough … Cough … I almost died ….. Cough! ”
Large amounts of water flowed suddenly through the young man’s mouth. The red-haired young man, Huntis Harmilion, after coughing a few times, finally woke up.
“G-Good morning ……”
After nearly drowning, Huntis looked towards the bedside.
There is a girl there. Her name is Maron Mamado.
She is first year. In the same class as Huntis, both of them are in the 29th Knight Order unit.
“Ah, ‘Good morning’, your ass ……! Why are you suddenly trying to kill me !? ”
Maron quickly shook his head.
“I didn’t want to kill you! I-It’s just that Senpai didn’t want to wake up …… So I thought it would be better to wake him up with some water ……”
“But you must throw the water at him, not drown him!”
“B-But, Senpai is awake …”
“Of course, I nearly died after all…”
“S-sorry … But I’ve heard that drinking water after sleeping will make your day better …”
“What you do is torture!”
Huntis said it in a very rude tone, Maron with fear shrugged his body. Her two little pigtails were moving, she looked like a scared dog. Because she looked so scared, Huntis couldn’t help but admit his mistakes.
“…… Why do you care about me? I mean, you have other things to do right?”
No matter what he said, she simply replied.
“W-Well …… t-that’s …… because …… Well, we are, after all, a team, aren’t we?”
Maron panicked, Huntis stared at her.
“You know that other people don’t care about me, do you?”
Lazy repeater Huntis, who became a first year for the second time about a month ago, has rarely attended classes since. Therefore, the team that he had is no longer with him.
Maron is the only one who still supports him.
“I-do … B-but, I, I think it’s bad to leave you alone… So….”
“……”
“H-Ehh …… Senpai …… Did something happen ……?”
Maron tilted his head slightly and asked shyly.
Huntis with a serious look did not answer. Then he lowered his gaze and sighed.
“It’s all wet ……”
“I’ll help you clean it … ……”
Maron took out a handkerchief and approached with the intention of drying Huntis’s wet clothes.
“No, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, it will dry up soon.”
“But I …… want to help you ……”
Maron said in a low voice, insisting that she wanted to dry Huntis’ wet body. But the wettest part is his lower body, so this can cause a misunderstanding.
(They are big.)
Huntis’s gaze accidentally falls on certain body part.
Maron’s breasts are not in accordance with her body, since her breasts are big, but her body is small. The buttons on his uniform looked like it was going to burst. Huntis kept seeing them.
“S-Senpai ……?”
Due to the nature of man, Huntis cannot help but see Maron’s breasts.
At that moment, the wind with incredible speed struck Huntis’s forehead severely.
“Aw, it hurts.”
“Gosh, it’s still early morning and you’re doing something like that, Huntis Harmilion.”
Despite the pain in his head, Huntis could see that a beautiful woman dressed in the instructor’s outfit had come to his room.
Her age is around twenty. Her body is slim, she has big breasts and her hips are compact, it can be said that she is an outstanding figure. In addition, her legs are attractive, since she is using a skirt.
Any man will be attracted to that body. Even though her temperament is bad … Huntis thought … no, now is not the time for that.
As if to prove his speculation, Instructor Pascali Paretto, who had been with Huntis since a year ago, looked at him sharply.
“You bastard, don’t you realize what a disgusting face you are making now?”
“Ah, sorry. I’m not dirty minded. By the way, you look beautiful as usual, sensei. ”
“Tsk, forget it.”
Despite knowing that Huntis was only teasing her, Instructor Paretto softened her attitude and snorted.
“Anyway, I remember that today is your first combat training day, right? Change your clothes, I’ll wait for you at the training camp. One more thing, you will be the captain. ”
“I know this question is a bit late, but why should I be the captain, sensei?”
“Because you’ve held back a year, of course.”
“I refuse if due to personal factors.”
“That is not true. Now get up quickly. ”
The attitude of the Instructor Paretto did not change. But Huntis deliberately coughed, and pointed at the wet bed.
“Cough-cough … I’m sorry, Sensei. Looks like I’m not feeling well today. Can’t you see how much water there is? I nearly died. ”
Again, a gust of wind hit Huntis’ forehead.
“Fool. What kind of excuse is that? ”
“It is true.”
“Are you kidding?”
Instructor Paretto frowned. After a time it returned to its original expression.
“… I see, you still wet yourself at this age.”
“No, that’s not it.”
“S-senpai … A couple years ago I also wet my bed. ”
“I didn’t say that. Anyway, you are the one who poured this water, didn’t you? ”
Huntis looked at Maron who looked shy.
“But this is not possible. Huntis Harmilion is absent from training by reason of bedwetting. ”
The instructor took notes from his pocket.
“Y-yes. Even I’m ashamed if I miss class because I wet my bed … ”
As Huntis quickly stood up, Instructor Paretto made a disgusted expression.
“Stay away. I don’t want you to stain me with your urine.”
“Please don’t get me wrong, Sensei.”
Instructor Paretto sighed heavily.
“Enough of the joke. I’ll wait for you. But if you don’t come, the whole academy will know that you wet your bed. Come on Maron Mamado. ”
“Y-yes….”
After Instrctor Paretto threatened him, together with Maron they left the room.
Shortly before leaving, Maron turned around and said:
“S-senpai … I will wait for you outside the dormitory …”
(Ahh ~~~~ The trouble is finally gone.)
Seeing the two of them leave, Huntis murmured. Reluctantly he made his bed. Then he washed his face and combed his hair, put on his uniform, and ate the bread he had bought before then drank milk.
Doing all of that only took him five minutes, Huntis then looked at his right hand.
“……”
As he stared at the bottom of his palm, a red pattern began to appear, it looked like a flame——
But in his mind this was a failure, then the pattern turned into a mist and then disappeared.
“I can not do it.”
Huntis wailed and coldly whispered.
Then he picked up the sword leaning against the wall, and left the room.
Heraldic Art is a spell used to summon the elementals that make up this world –– “Elemental Spirits”.
Fire, water, wind, stone, sun, crystallization from the sun and ice.
The design of the Heraldic symbol can have a variety of patterns – that is why “Enchantment” is very dependent on the technique used.
For example, by borrowing the power of the spirit of the [Salamander], the Fire Spell can be used in heating or cooking. If its power is based on light, it can be used as a light at night. If the strength is based on iron or stone, it can be used as building construction.
And if its strength is based on life, it can be used to treat wounds and heal diseases.
In addition, Heraldic Art is also used in the military.
That is why, the Heraldic Knights were formed to protect the peace and government of the Holy Karurona Empire.
The chanting of the early spells is not difficult to learn. But the higher the level of the spell, the more complicated it becomes to execute. Therefore, regular Knights must study the Chanting Spell during their two year training. For this purpose the Knight of Materia Academy was established.
“Ah….”
Leaving the room, with a bored expression, he then headed for the Academy.
Chirculus, the place where the Academi Knight of Materia was located, was the third largest city in the empire. The campus covers three of the seven total district and has a large area.
Of course, due to its vast area, people are often misunderstood as the residence of the nobles because there are many luxurious buildings and gardens.
Regardless of identity and social status, anyone can become an Heraldic Knight.
However, “Knight” is a title that is only pinned to nobles who obtain military achievements. As a result, most cadets are nobles. Therefore the Academy is full of noble children from all over the empire, and the campus is intentionally designed with an environment that suits them.
“S-senpai, you should be more punctual….”
Maron followed Huntis. Unexpectedly, she was really waiting outside the dormitory for him.
Ater entering the basement of the building, the landscape becomes different, and although this is rather monotonous. Many students gather here.
Students in the academy are required to form “units” consisting of five to six people. In combat training or other operations, they will move together in the team. After completing their monster hunting mission, each of them will get points personally.
Today’s combat training is scheduled to involve the 26th to 30th units with a limit of five team members per unit.
“Oh, Maron-chan! Good morning ~~! ”
A girl cheerfully waved her hand.
Her stature was slim, her skin color is somewhat tanned, her eyes sparkle like a child, and you can see fang sticking out of her mouth. Compared to Maron’s shy attitude, this girl gave a cheerful impression. Because of her long hair that was tied back, it fluttered like a tail when running.
The girl’s name is Mina Miklan.
She belongs to the 29th unit along with Huntis and Maron.
Maron sighed “Ah!” when Mina suddenly hugs her from behind, playing her breasts without warning.
“Nyahaha! This part just makes me jealous. ”
Mina deliberately played her breasts, squeezing them from top to bottom, left to right …
“B-stop!”
Even though Maron had tears in his eyes while trying to escape from Mina’s fad, she didn’t let her go.
“Nyahahaa ~ Fine, fine ~~ Owaa!”
Another girl from behind hit Mina’s cheek and pushed her aside.
“Are you okay, Maron?”
She immediately approached Maron, a young girl with shoulder-length silver hair that was bright like a mirror. She has beautiful face features with emerald green eyes, she is like a doll.
“Ohh … S-good morning, Shisu-can. I am fine….”
Maron weakly answered.
“Are you really all right? Your breasts, are your breasts okay? ”
“I-I’m fine … But … Please don’t touch it. ”
“I won’t know if it’s really alright if I don’t touch it.”
It is unknown why she insisted on touching Maron’s breasts. The girl is Shinsurine Shirubelsto. He is also a member of the 29th unit.
Suddenly her cheek was beaten, Mina complained.
“Uuuu ~~~~ It hurts, Shisu-chan, if you leave my face damaged, I won’t be able to get married.”
“I don’t allow it. I will not forgive anyone who touches Maron’s breasts. ”
“Aren’t you also touching her breasts now?”
“No problem, because Maron’s breasts are mine!”
Mina pouted after hearing that. After all, Shinsui said something inconsistent.
“Eh ~ Why can’t I touch Maron-chan’s breasts?”
“Like I said. Maron’s breasts are only mine. ”
“You have to share it!”
“S-stop you two!”
Seeing his two friends fight, Maron broke up in a voice almost crying. No, she actually cried.
“Huh ~~?”
Suddenly, Mina’s gaze was fixed on Huntis.
“Hun-chan! What a surprise, it turns out you’re still alive! ”
Mina excitedly started jumping up and down with a smile.
Then, the silver-haired girl Shisurine gave him a look of disgust.
“So you’re still alive … it looks like Maron failed.”
“What a friendly greeting, so you who taught her that kind of water trick?”
Huntis snapped, Shinsurine with a flat face pretending to be innocent.
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand, don’t make such a scary face. ”
“Are you mocking me?”
“Hah? Are you deaf? If you feel unwell, I suggest you go see a doctor. ”
“No need.”
“So. Then I’ll take you to the grave digger instead. ”
“Don’t treat me like a corpse.”
“I will take this opportunity to be frank–– ”
No matter how hard the reproach that Huntis made, Shinsurine was always able to respond casually.
“Honestly, the boys at the Academy are very annoying, especially you’re the worst, you always sleep and have no motivation, you’re just trash. If you continue like this, you will never become a Knight, it would be better if you just die. ”
She said lightly.
“If you don’t change, I won’t forgive you … For the sake of Maron and myself … ”
He paused for a moment.
“Don’t you understand? For the sake of Maron and me … ” After a quick glance, her face turned red. But then she shook her head and her face returned to her usual cold expression.
“No, this is a secret between the two of us. I can’t tell you. ”
“I-Is that so …”
Huntis had a hunch that if he asked further, something bad would happen.
“Stop stop! Why did you leave me alone? Chat with girls like that! ”
Suddenly someone interrupted in, a slender young man with military haircut and an oval-shaped face.
He is also a member of the 29th unit.
“… Who is he?”
“Ah?! I’m Dank! .. Dank Defrik! ”
Feeling unnoticed, Dank mentioned his name out loudh.
“Oh, I remember. Sorry, I almost forgot. You’re very noisy after all. ”
“Because I’m noisy, you forgot my name! Normal people on the contrary. I once experienced this when I met a girl I liked when I was a child: ‘Ah ~~ Dank, I remember you, you were very talkative in the past.’ I’m not sad when she said that, really! But she seems to change. Unlike before, she was very cute, like an angel. Arghh !! Time is really cruel … Wait, why am I saying this to you! ”
“… Hey, you say it yourself!”
This person is very noisy.
“Shut up! Can’t you be a little polite to a senior who is one year older than you? You may held back for one year, but I’m two years! ”
Seeing Dank, who proudly revealed his past, Huntis gave him a sympathetic face.
“I see, because of the stress you’re experiencing, it’s only natural for you to become bald. I’m sorry…”
“I’m not bald! This is a military style short cut. And the girls will surely admire me. Don’t underestimate me! ”
“Military-style haircut … oh, I see.”
Indeed, if you look closely he is not completely bald. The top of his hair sticks out like a thorn.
“But unfortunately, I’m not interested in being praised by men. But if it’s Paretto-onee-san, I’ll be happy to be praised by her! No, it’s more appropriate to say that I want to lick her! ”
Behind Dank an incredible killing aura could be felt.
“I see … You want to lick me. If you want, lick me then! But first you have to lick my fist first! ”
“Poof …”
Instructor Paretto hit Dank right in the face.
“Not allowed to call me nee-san, call me instructor!”
She looked at Dank who was lying on the ground coldly, and then gave an announcement to all the students present.
Note:
1. Lick in Japanese
“As I said last time, today you have to sneak into the underground labyrinth and use monsters as opponents for actual combat training. If you were still half-hearted, then you will find a miserable fate …… Form your teams and follow me”
Instructor Paretto made the preamble, all the students were left with a nervous look.
In the middle of the basement is a staircase leading down to the underground labyrinth.
Originally, the vestiges of an ancient civilization -Yureshia- were discovered during the construction of this academy. When the investigation began, a group of monsters were already living here.
“Even though this is a low risk labyrinth, it is still difficult to predict what will happen. Don’t let your guard down!”
Instructor Paretto severely reminded the students.
Inside it was so dark, it was more appropriate to call it a cave than a labyrinth. The sound of footsteps could be heard as the crowd walked in darkness.
Finally, they came to a more open area.
“The training area is here. Each time monsters appeared, each group would fight it one by one. Now starting with unit 26! ”
This combat training went smoothly.
Although a group of monsters appeared, as expected from the students who passed in entrance exam, the first two groups succeeded in defeating the monsters without difficulty. And now it’s the 28th unit turn in battle.
Everyone with a serious expression, watched attentively at the fighting of other groups ……
Everyone except Unit 29.
“Maron, wake me up when it’s our turn.”
“S-senpai … you can’t sleep in a place like this …”
“Maron, forget about that guy. Come with me, let’s keep increasing our love..”
“Em ~~ Mina is little hungry … ..”
“The place I was beaten by Neesan was really painful… But this pain can remind me at that happy moment. Hahahaha.”
It was time when voice of Instructor Paretto came.
“Hey! Unit 29. Get ready!”
It seems that Unit 28 has also finished their training. Huntis and the others prepared.
“I-I’m nervous….”
Maron’s body was stiff with nerves, it also happened when she tried to walk and her face seemed also uncomfortable.
“Don’t be nervous Maron. Take it easy. ”
“Yeah, take it easy. And you will become a monster food. ”
In response to Huntis’ suggestion, Shisurine commented on scary things.
“… .. It’s okay, Maron. I will protect you. ”
“Shisu-chan….”
Maron brought her hands to her chest, Shisurine had given her confidence with her gaze.
“… On the contrary, you also have to protect me until you die.”
“Shisu-chan?”
Shisurine had changed her gaze as she spoke these words. It made Maron look scared.
On the other hand, Dank arrogantly swung his sword.
“No matter what kind of monster you are, come on! I’ll beat you all at once !! ”
“Uwaaaaa!!”
He suddenly screamed. It looks like he accidentally hit his calf.
“Ugh ~~ it looks like it’s broken ~~~ but as long as Nee-san gently touches it and says “Pain pain go away!!~~ ♥️♥️” then it will surely be healed soon.”
“What kind of fools break their own leg? I’ll just spit on you and keep you going.”
Instructor Paretto calmly refused. But he didn’t give up easily.
“Please spit on me, Nee-san …”
“If you really want to be spit on, then Mina will be happy to help. Bah* Bah* Bah*.”
“Uwaa, what are you doing? Don’t spit it onto my face! ”
“Dank~, you look better!”
“Stop joking! Look, monsters are coming!”
Right after Instructor Paretto shouted, some shadows emerged from the darkness.
They are Shadow Bats.
Its length did not exceed 30 centimeters, it is a small monster. Despite that their fast movements, but as long as you are calm, even without using a Heraldic Art you can defeat them. Although if you are bitten, it will cause a little pain, because its teeth are very small, but it will not cause serious injuries.
Huntis is the captain of the group, so he had to direct the plan.
“Our goal is to eliminate all monsters.”
“It’s classic plan! But I didn’t expect anything from you from beginning.”
Although Dank blatantly insulted him, he still rushed out to the front lines.
But others did not go after him.
“Wait, why didn’t you guys follow me?” Dank was surprised.
“I am the captain, important role like me must stay behind.” Huntis said.
“My job is only to protect Maron.” Said Shisurine.
“Uwooooo !?”
Five bats began to attack Dank.
“Wait, I’m not ready yet! I said wait! ”
Dank desperately shouted, but of course the monsters did not stop. They keep biting, so he runs away.
“Are you cowards? Five against one !? Do you think that’s fair? ”
“Mina will help you ~~”
The only one who helped Dank was Mina. In her hands she has a pair of iron fist, blue and white electric sparks spread from the gloves.
This is the application of the Heraldic Art called “Armanent.” Turning spirits into weapons that wrap hands, this type of technique is very difficult to do.
Depending on the user’s level of expertise, its power can reach an unimaginable level.
…… Only if the attack manage to hit the enemy.
“Uryaaaaaa!”
She shouted, but as a result the monsters moved quickly … So the attack was only passed through the air.
“Doryaaaaa! Doryaaaaa! Doryaaaa! ”
She screamed every time she punched. The routine is: Punching, shouting. The bats move away. Punching, screaming. The bats move away. Punching, screaming. The bats move away.
“Mina Miklan, don’t shout every time you attack!”
Instructor Paretto gave her advice, but …
“This makes me more comfortable when screaming! Apart from that it looks cool! ”
“Then hit the enemy!”
“Ah, ah, ah … I, what should I do …?”
As Mina and Instructor Paretto were talking, Maron panicked in fear.
“Maron Mamado! Don’t worry, calm down! ”
“Kyaaa …!”
One of the bats chasing Dank suddenly changes its target and attacks Maron. Fortunately, she immediately duck down and the bat just passed over her head.
Shades of anger suddenly appeared in Shisurine’s eyes.
“Bastard! I will give you a painful death!”
In response to the chanting of the spell, the air turned silver.
The ice spirit that was summoned by Heraldic Art showed its power.
It was the second level of Heraldic Art [Freezing].
Cold air spread throughout the area. The bat immediately froze and fell to the ground.
“You ugly and dirty bat, how dare you attack my cute Maron!”
Shisurine did not immediately kill the bat. She trampled the bat cruelly. Then chant the Heraldic Art to summon the sword and use it to pierce the bat’s wings.
“Kii ~ Kii ~ Ki ~~” The monster groaned in pain.
“Fuu, fuu. Enjoy the pain. I will torture you slowly until you die!” She laughed like crazy.
“What are you doing, Shisurine Shirubelsto?”
Her behavior was too strange, even Instructor Paretto was surprised.
At that moment, laughter burst out from crowd around.
“Uh, what is this? … It stinks! This is urine! ”
It seemed that Dank was soaked by bat urine.
“Darkness please come! Take away his vision and hope!”
Dank cast a spell, Heraldic Spirit of Dark showed its power.
As a result, dark mist appeared in the air.
Everyone’s vision turned black. This is the first level Heraldic Art, [Blackout].
However…
“It hurts! What happens to these bats? Why did you can still see me !? Are you super monsters?”
“Dank! [Blackout] doesn’t work on bats! ”
“Is that so! I just, you know, ugh … Damn it! ”
Dank was bitten by a herd of bats and screamed in pain.
“Dank-san …!”
Maron wants to help Dank.
“Uhm, sword … sharp wind sword, cut everything!”
Heraldic Art second level of the wind element [Wind Blade]. Maron frantically recited her spell.
But wind she summoned did not hit the bats, but shaved all of Dank’s hair instead.
The laugh burst louder than before.
“My military style hair, arghh …!”
“Nyahahaha, bald, bald! That suits you better!”
Dank shouted in exasperation, on the other hand Mina clapped her hands while mocking him.
“What the hell are you doing?!”
“S-sorry!”
Maron looked glum, angry Dank kept holding his head.
Suddenly scream echoed through the area.
“It is enough!”
Instructor Paretto shouted in a loud voice. She swung her spear and all the bats immediately fell to the ground. Everyone who saw the Instructor, they could tell that she was very angry.
“Unit 29!”
She destroyed all the monsters in that place. The labyrinth echoes every time she screams.
“Enough!! You assholes, go with the others!!””
Instructor Paretto expression was very fierce, Unit 29 quickly obeyed her order.
…
“It’s the first time I’ve seen such a mess in training. This is no place to be a comedian!”
After class ended, Unit 29 remained at the practice site. Instructor Paretto was giving them a hard scolding. Several veins could be seen on her beautiful face.
“Hehehe, we’re not that great ~~”
Mina saying this, she scratched her head.
“This is not a compliment, Mina Miklan. Eliminate your ridiculous nature, do not make vain movements. Training is not a game. Be more serious!”
Instructor Paretto replied angrily. The girl dropped her shoulders in frustration after being scolded.
The Instructor then direct her anger at the person next to Mina, Dank. Then recite Heraldic Art [Life] to restore his hair.
“Dank Defrik!”
“Yes, Nee-san!”
A fist hit Dank’s jaw violently at high speed.
“I told you not to call me Nee-san!”
Instructor Paretto glared at him and pulled her fist.
“Attacking as a group is coward? Fair fight? Such concepts do not exist in the brains of monsters. And also you use [Blackout] on bats, that’s a very stupid thing … Hey, why are you trembling? ”
“Please keep on scolding me, Nee-san!”
Instructor Paretto then kicked Dank in the stomach and he fell on the ground.
Next was the girl who was curled up while holding her head.
“Maron Mamado. You’re always scared in battle. Fortunately the enemy is not strong. If you want to use strong Heraldic Art, make sure you don’t attack your teammates next time. ”
“O-okay …”
Instructor then looked at the silver-haired girl.
“Shisurine Shirubelsto. What are you really thinking? Why did you torture the bat? ”
“That’s my revenge.”
Shisurine only justified her actions. So this only gives Instructor Paretto a headache.
“Don’t let your personal feelings affect your actions, Shisurine Shirubelsto. On the battlefield, it is a most despicable act. Do you think you can be better next time? ”
“Yes.”
“Now, Huntis Harmillion!”
Huntis is the last. Instructor Paretto changed her tone of voice. Her tone of voice seemed as if she gave up on that guy.
Huntis has known Instructor Paretto since a year ago. And also used to listening her nagging. He also understood that Instructor Paretto were always hard on students. Therefore, he also intends to deal with it as usual.
“… You, if you don’t want to do this, why are you still in the academy now?”
However, what came this time was a low voice, indicating how disappointed she was. This time, Huntis also did not know how to answer.
“If you don’t want to change, you can pack your bags and go back to your hometown.”
Then, unexpectedly Instructor Paretto said something poisonous.
“…”
Huntis can only be silent.
“I’m done.”
After saying that, Instructor Paretto left the training building.
“The instructor said it’s not unreasonable.”
In the corner of the Cafeteria table, Huntis ate his lunch.
He was bored to put stir-fried vegetables in his mouth.
“Ehh … S-senpai …”
Suddenly someone called him, looking up, he found Maron. She was holding a plate with dishes, and looked interactively at face of Huntis and empty seat in front of her.
Huntis saw her intention and said in bored attitude.
“You don’t want to sit?”
“T-thank you.”
Maron thanked him and carefully sat in front of Huntis.
Huntis continued his lunch in silence. He secretly squinted at Maron and found that she didn’t move the food in front of her. Because it was very strange, Huntis looked over to her. As a result, when their eyes meet, Maron’s face turned red, she quickly turned around and began to eat her lunch.
“It-tadakimasu..!”
“That’s not a fork.”
“Huh … Is this a knife?”
“You can’t eat stir-fry with a knife right?”
“Auuu …”
Maron bowed her head, her twin pigtails twitching.
“Maron, you are not mistaken. You can use the knife to stab animal in front of you. Come on! Don’t hesitate to stab him.”
“Don’t say such terrible things.”
Huntis turned to the source of the voice, then found Shisurine with a fierce look.
“Are you okay, Maron? Did this animal do something to you? “
“Uh, um, not yet …”
“Not yet? What do you mean I will to do something to you? “
“It’s possible, maybe you poisoned her lunch without his knowledge.”
“Can you be quiet?”
“S-sorry …”
“No, I’m not talking to you …”
Huntis began to feel a headache.
At that time, a black-haired girl passed by Huntis
Huntis looked at her like a stranger.
In his heart he mocked himself.
(I’m really stupid, if she were here surely they would also come here.)
“S-senpai …?”
“… I am fine.”
Maron looked at Huntis curiously, but he answered in coldy manner.
“Hey, why does this academy accept Yamatai people?”
Shortly after the black-haired girl passed, the cruel sentence came from nowhere.
“Damn it. Taking classes with slaves made me uncomfortable. They don’t deserve to be called knights. “
The words came from two people sitting nearby. The black haired girl bit her lower lip.
Discrimination against the Yamatai has become commonplace in this Knight Academy, with most of the students being noble children.
Because of the massive slaves rebellion that broke out decades ago, the empire has banned slavery.
However, even if the current status of slaves is gone, the inherent discrimination cannot be eliminated. Yamatai nation, who spearheaded this rebellion, have killed many nobles. As a result, the public – especially from the aristocracy – showed strong discrimination against them.
This serious situation also occurred at the Academy of Knights. To avoid conflict, the Academy allowed the Yamatai to register.
“Even though you’re noble, you don’t have the right to say that …”
“Ah?”
“Hey, you! What did you just say…”
The ears of the duo were very sharp, they could hear Huntis murmuring and immediately flashed hostility toward him.
“… No, I’m just muttering to myself.”
“Ah, senpai …”
While not staring at the two of them, Huntis stood up and left Cafeteria, spending only half of his lunch.
