A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

Hi, it's Julia.

I returned from dusk and somehow defeated Shelley, becoming a Class 1 vs. Mage. Yeah... it's kind of light. Though I'm starting to feel a little confident that my abilities have survived that twilight world... what a shame I am.

I got a room in the dorm and I was looking forward to my life from the next day. By the way, somehow in the dorm next to Shelley. Said that the room was only available there. The corner of the dormitory is a bit distressing... But tomorrow, a bright school life begins...! Yes, I thought so...

"Well, thank you. This is Julia Curtis. He's been transferred from the Third World City. Thank you!

I lowered my head in a cloudy manner. So far so good.

"So, do you guys have any questions for him?

"Yes, yes! Shitsumun!

"Well then, Sofia, please...."

You're sure that's what the class teacher, Delia, says, Mr. Sofia? will ask me questions. [M]

"It's true you've been living for two years at dusk?

"... no, that's a lie. I came to this city because of some circumstances."

"What's the truth about the rumor that you beat Sherry?

"As Shelley is the dean's daughter, I ran into her when I continued with the paperwork. I didn't win, I didn't lose, I didn't fight."

"Hee, I knew it was a lie...."

I am told to keep yesterday's game secret in advance. [M] That's why I've been thinking about it in advance, and I've got answers. By the way, I don't want to talk about the First Class versus the Mage. You may find out otherwise, but I don't want to take an unnecessary distance to get used to everyone for a while.

"... chi!

When I glanced at it, Shelley, who was in the same class by chance, slapped her tongue and looked at me with a disgusting expression.

Hey!? Would that look weird to you!?

I wanted to say that, but through with a casual face. If they find out that I've been living for two years in the evening, I want to secretly welcome you to graduation because it's annoying... and so on, the questions will fly again.

"Can I ask that difficult question?

"It's fine, but is it? Mr. Sofia."

Don't tell me you're going to pursue dusk even further? The next question was in the direction of tomorrow and later.

"Who's Julia? What is it?

"Nh... what do you mean?

"I wonder if it's that transgender. Rumor has it she lives in a dormitory. This is for sure, right? Her name looks like a girl."

"... um... it looks like this... it's a man... I'm sorry... there's no room in the dormitory, so I have to... but I'm from the corner, so I won't bother you!

At that moment, I felt that the class was annoying.

"The rumors about the dormitory were true!

"Looking like such a girl, maybe carnivorous?

"The guy who looks like him? It's better!"

"Hey... did somebody wake up?

Well, it's not impossible. I haven't cut my hair since I got back. I wanted to keep my thoughts at dusk as a warning, and it stayed the same after all. I'm putting it together as a ponytail now, but I don't know how much of a woman's face it is... but when I went into the men's toilet in the morning, I was relieved... no, it must be because of my hair! Yeah! Yeah!

"Yes, yes. Silence. Then Yulia is in the seat behind Shelley."

"I see...."

That's how I get to Mr Shelley's back seat. Just around the corner by the window. I felt strangely calm about whether the corner was my home position. [M]

Nice to meet you, Shelly.

"... nice to meet you"

When I saw her, I thought I might have done too much yesterday...

◇

The anti-magic academy system in the border cities is different from ordinary schools. The regular school has a curriculum, but the Antimagic Academy has basic classes in the morning. It has been an elective class since the afternoon. Basic classes are basic anti-magician knowledge. And Basic Health, Basic Magic and Combat Techniques. However, because people are unfit and not good at it, in the afternoon, they are in elective classes with the aim of developing their areas of expertise.

Now, while I'm thinking about what elective class to take from this afternoon... the morning is over. It's lunch break. By the way, there was never a crowd around me during the break. Everyone is talking to Hisohiso for a moment.

But that might be helpless. In the first place, it is almost impossible to systematically shift into borderline cities. There is a way to travel between bordering cities, but it requires the accompaniment of a Class 1 vs. Mage or a Class 2 vs. Mage. Moreover, the reason for traveling is that it is almost impossible in today's marginal cities, and there are interactive games and tournaments several times a year.

Besides, you live in a dormitory like a girl, a top-secret superior versus a magician who won over Sherry, a first-class versus magician who lived for two years at dusk. Rumors are spreading throughout the academy. It seems that some people have come to see me not only from other classes, but also from the grades.

"... are you free?

"I'm free, but...."

Follow me.

"Eh... hey!?

After Sherry said that, I followed him reluctantly. [M]

"Yes, this is... rice"

"Oh... onigiri! Thank you! Hey... it's been a long time since I've had a cultural meal..."

Rooftop. We were both on the roof. Nothing seems to be open to the public, but Shelley, the dean's daughter, has the key. It's an abuse of authority, but it's not an abuse, so it seems reasonable to say that it's safe...

"Sherry's handmade?

"Is that right!? Bad!?"

"Hey... it's been two years since I've cooked rice... hah... thank you"

"Um... can I ask you something outside?

"Mogging... hmm? I hope so."

"How was dinner?

"Hmm. Basically, I was eating monsters. I wonder if he liked snakes, spiders, bees and things with a lot of protein. Sometimes I ate fat, fat bugs. Well, basically local sourcing? I wonder if you've been eating all the nutrients you need while being careful not to be biased because they're protein, sugars, and lipids... ah, but sometimes you don't eat them for a week. Just connect it with water. Ah, this is strictly confidential... but there's actually a magical piece of wood out there that can hold water... and I used to replace it with a water bottle... fufufu, I'll show it to Shelley next time. I'm taking it home... fufufu"

"... I don't know what to say, it's such a vitality. It's hardly survival."

"No, it's not."

Huh?

"Almost. Everything was survival. Literally, I did everything I could to live. Kill, steal, rinse the mud, spit out blood and live."

"Why... why are you outside the world?

I was hesitant to say it. That event is a trauma to me. An abominable incident in which I saw a dark part of a human being. I don't know if you hate them enough to kill them... at the moment. It's been two years, and I'm back satisfied with my five bodies. But I thought I could talk to Shelley.

"Does the academy have a system for partying and hunting in a safe zone?

"Hmm... I see."

"But one time, the leader went to the danger zone."

"I can't believe it...."

"So I got caught trying to get the other three out. Please be careful not to come back."

"Such a thing... such a murderer!!

"That's right. And from there, my life began at dusk, and I still am...."

"Don't you regret it?

"Hmm... I kind of lost that idea. Walking through that wide, terrifying world of dusk makes it seem like it doesn't matter."

"You're strong....."

"No way. Two years ago, I was a Class Five Warlock. Besides, it's the lowest grade in the school year. Mostly, we don't have combat skills."

"Eh... with all that technology, at the bottom?

"It was all worn at dusk. It's a technique I've learned to live with."

"... literally, you're not ready. I understand your strength a little bit."

"But because you want to get stronger, you don't want to go to dusk... do you?

"Hmm..." "A picture star. Anyway, you were going to go to the danger zone tomorrow, right?

"You know...."

"That face is in a hurry. You look just like me two years ago. That's why I'm telling you, Sherry will die now."

"... isn't it enough?

"Not enough. I have some basic skills, but I am still no match for the Twilight Monster, the Demon Clan. Especially, the easter you go, the stronger the monster gets. I was lucky and I only had the power by chance. [M] You should stop going there from yourself."

"Really....."

Shun, Shelly gets depressed. I thought it was a bit pathetic and kind of bullying. There must be some special reason for wanting to be so strong.

"I...."

Huh?

"You can practice with me. If Shelley's good, but..."

"Really!? Actually, I've been meaning to say that all day!

"Oh... oh"

I am surprised because it comes all the way here to the taste. In a moment, a fluffy scent unique to a girl tickles her nasal cavity.

"After school! After school, I promise! Absolutely!"

"Uh-huh...."

"Honestly, I'm lucky that you're as good as or better than a Premium vs. Mage... and that you can teach me a lesson!

"Hey, your character's changed."

"It's okay, it's okay! Ah, I'm looking forward to it!

Ahahaha

And for a while, we were able to bloom properly in this place for a chat. Peaceful days aren't bad, I thought so.
