"Ugh... Ugh..."
Wake up.
Then it was the ceiling that came into view. When I recognize that, I check my current situation.
I was lying in bed, with a comfortable sunset plugged in through the window.
"Ray, are you awake?
"... Master? Is this...?
"It's the infirmary in school. For once, Abby seemed to be doing all the allowances."
On the left side of the bed was a master sitting in a wheelchair. Behind it was Mr. Carla holding back, and next door was Mr. Abby.
"Looks like you used it."
"I'm sorry. On that occasion, I thought that was the best solution..."
"No, I don't mind. If I were in your shoes, I would have done the same thing."
"If you say so, I'm afraid..."
"And don't worry about the magic realm rampage Overheat. I let it go this time, but I don't have a problem with that amount of time. If we continue to cure it, we will no longer need to fix the clock" Chronoslock "in the body one day."
"Really..."
Phew, and exhale.
That battle. I was pulling out my performance to a pretty critical point, but I'm glad it didn't leave any particular sequelae, etc.
"Speaking of which, is everyone...?
"We're all safe. I was just suffering from a mild deficiency. Rest a little and you'll recover. Well done, Ray."
"Yes, thank you, Master"
I get lightly slapped in the head with a pom pom.
It's been a really long time since they've done this.
"So how many hours have passed since then? And what about the Gray teaching?
"Let me explain that to you."
Suddenly, it was Mr. Abby who came forward. The master looks at it sideways, says something, and seems to keep his mouth shut.
"A day has passed since Ray fell. And Helena Grady got it. I've had a hard time melting your balls."
"Sorry for the inconvenience..."
"No, it helped that I didn't kill him. We need to keep pulling information from him."
"Wasn't she an imperial spy?
"Ah. My affiliation was with Eugenics, an eugenic institution that had no relations with countries. Rather than that, the eugenic institution Eusenix itself has come to the conclusion that there is no connection with the country…. Apparently the institution is completely independent of the country and pulls out good researchers and magicians... but I haven't got the whole thing yet"
"I see... is that right"
Right... that's about it for me to get out.
Later processing should be entrusted to a specialist.
Look out in chills. Is it evening already or the burning bright red sunset light plugging into the room? Seeing that, again, I thought it was over...
In that fight, I did what I had to do. That sense of reality still did remain in this hand.
"Now it's time to go. Lydia."
"Right. Abby is right, and then to the young... Ray, face it. I'll see you then."
"? What's that?
That said, Mr. Abby left the room and even the master left in the form of having Mr. Carla push the wheelchair.
And at the same time, I could see just one room of hair coming out of the side of the door. It had a bright red color and was familiar.
"Guys..."
There were three of them who came indoors.
Amelia, Evi, Elisa. Everyone has a strangely worrying look.
"Ray! Are you okay? Huh!!?
"Evi, thank you for worrying. They say there's nothing particularly wrong with the status quo. I don't feel uncomfortable myself."
"Well... well, good for you..."
Even if I know. Sometimes what Evie would like to hear is about my health, except for the real thing. I knew that well from the look on Amelia's face and Elisa's face.
"Ray... you're really..."
"Amelia. From there on, I'll tell you."
I slammed my posture slightly on the three of them and lowered my head first.
"I'm sorry. I was fooling you. No... I wasn't trying to work something bad... but still, I was lying."
"Ray-kun... that's..."
"Ah. I think you already know that I am one of the seven greatest magicians in the world, the Ice Sword Mage."
"Yes... I knew you would..."
Amelia looked strangely convinced. Evi and Elisa did the same.
You can talk to these three. My past is an abominable memory. If it's something you can forget, I want to forget it. But I've shown my abilities as an ice sword magician... and I wanted to be honest with this unhooked alumni.
That's why I never opened my mouth.
"A little... let's talk about the past. I was born in a small village to the east. That's why there were no magicians or anything. My parents and everyone else were the average person, Ordinary. But... we got caught up in the Far East battle..."
Far East Battle. That was the first war in which witchcraft was fully introduced.
That's what made magic so indispensable to improve quality of life, infrastructure... but that's just one side.
Man is, by all means, a creature in contention. Then it was only a matter of time before we began using magic as a means of doing so. Magic is also useful as a tool for killing people because it was obvious to everyone's eyes.
"And I lost everyone in the village. I became a war orphan. So the first thing that was picked up was the organization that manages the juvenile soldiers. I honed the art of killing people there. To live...... of course, I still remember killing with this hand. But our organization was driven to ruin by the armies of the kingdom... where I met my master"
"As for the master...... he was sitting in a wheelchair earlier, is he a beauty?
Evie asks me if I was wrong just now.
"Ah. Exactly. And for what cause, my talent as a magician blossomed on the occasion of being picked up by my master. There was originally a single scale, but I decided to polish it. My master and other military men said I should keep it in my home country, but at the time the war was worse than I could afford to. So I... decided to fight with him in my master's unit at my will. I wasn't forced or anything. Just looking for a place to die, I was wandering the battlefield. Nothing, I thought I could die anytime. Full participation in the war was not scary... just somewhere... I kept asking for a place where I could get to..."
With eyes that stare into the void somewhere, I speak of the past.
That's a memory I can remember like I did yesterday. That anger, that scream, it all feels like it's stuck in your brain. With that in mind, I spin more words.
"But I was welcomed by my master and others... and gradually regained the hearts of others. At the same time, my talent as a mage grew explosively. That, I'm sure, may have been made to do by the environment of war. But in my final battle, the moment my master was shot through my lower body... I exploded my emotions. And I... caused the enchantment realm rampage, Overheat. I don't remember much from there, but by the time I woke up, the Far East battle was over and my master was stuck with his lower body..."
The three of you are listening to me in silence. I'll keep talking.
"Then first of all, I still had the ability to say that I had an enchantment realm rampage, Overheated. And I decided to take over the seat of Mage of the Ice Sword. The master didn't look good, but he still accepted. The rest was introduced by the master, who was to spend time as an adopted son at the master's sister's house in the countryside of the kingdom. The army was also discharged and I was spending some time there to do something about the enchantment realm rampage Overheating... One day my master told me that it was not good not to use enchantment at all, and I was recommended to enroll in the college. It's my sorcery that's controlling the magic realm rampage Overheat. And the master wants me to have a year-to-year experience... yes, he said. I didn't know the words very well at first... but this is how I got into school and I still do."
Only Big Muscle, but I talked about my past. My magic realm rampage, Overheating, is still going on. For this reason, magic cannot be used satisfactorily. Even if you can, it can only be freed temporarily. It is now I who am forced to control it by applying deceleration and fixation, the essence of the Ice Sword mage.
But there's nothing special about it. I'm just saying that a war-torn boy survived and started attending college.
Sometimes I've taken over the position of a magician of the Ice Sword, but still, I never took that past personally.
I tried my best. Not by chance, not by necessity.
It's just there, but I'm just accepting it. So... there was no such thing as pessimism about it.
"Well... Ray, you have such a past..."
"Ray......"
"Ray-kun..."
Would you despise it? Maybe I was still afraid somewhere in my heart. Being made aware of my past.
Like singing about student life in college, it doesn't get away with what I've done. Because the fact that we have been layering the killings on top of each other certainly remains in these two hands.
And when I look up in a chill, Amelia suddenly hugs me.
"Ugh......!!
"Ray is... awesome... really, really..."
Evie and Elisa are staring at me. There was no fear or fright in that gaze. It was more like enveloping everything, such... kind eyes.
"But I... have many lives... with these hands..."
"I only know Ray now. Whatever the past may be, you're no different. And we all know you're sweet."
"That's right! I knew Ray was a great guy, so... I knew exactly what my best dick was! Did you think you could do something about it now? Well, then you can't break your hot friendship with me! Let's keep muscling together!
"Wah... me too...! I will always want to be with Ray-kun......! Your friend is... he's no different...!
When I heard the words, I felt a single tear fall from my eyes naturally.
"Oh... well... that's what happened..."
He lost loved ones in the village, and also loved ones in the war.
Some I could protect, but some I lost at the same time. Every time I regretted it and moaned.
But I wasn't allowed to stop. I don't have time to mourn the death of my people. Because if you had that time, you would have had to kill your enemies for that.
So I kept going, wandering, wandering... I got to this college.
At first my master told me, so I felt stronger about rehabbing and then even students. A little tourist, if you say so. My heart danced to my first school, but that's only superficial.
Darkness in the depths of this heart never cleared.
But I was blessed with such a dear friend, and I never thought of disclosing my emotions in this way.
But, Master, I understand. Why did you advise me to go to this college? I'm sure you knew because you meant your master.
I have... a dear friend, too. And that's what heals my heart. However, not only will I regain my abilities as a magician, but the way I am as a person...... here I will learn again.
I have been, and will continue to be, with my dear companions.

"Hmm......! Hmm......!
"Ooh! Nice, Ray! You're in the mood!!
"Oh! You're already in perfect physical condition!
A few days after that.
I was completely back where I was, and I've been playing muscle tread with Evie since the early morning. There was still a good cut today and the bulk was never fading.
"Now it's time to head to the classroom"
"Oops!!
This is how a new routine was about to begin.
……
When I get to class, I do my reading in my own seat. These few moments in the morning are truly fantastic.
I'm going to the Environmental Research Department after school today, and I'm taking a trip to the Horticulture Department tomorrow. It's time to grow some new flowers.
I found out. That life in this college is never in vain.
I'm sure it'll be something I can't change for my life. Is that why we should sing in full? with my dear alumni.
"Did you hear that?
"Yeah. Doctor, you stopped because of all the circumstances."
"So I hear someone new is coming..."
That's what students in the classroom rumor about.
There is no more Gray teaching. Then it is self-evident that another teacher will come. I want to have a good relationship with that person. Nothing. Student life is not just between students. I also think it is important to have a relationship with teachers......
The moment I thought, I'd drop the book.
"Ah... he..."
I know.
To the outfit with a flashy open chest, above all noteworthy...... its peachy flashy hair. Looks like it's wrapped beautifully and slowly vertically. And I'm crying under my right eye.
Instead of beauty, you should describe her as cute... I know.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! I'm in charge of this new class, Carol-Caroline. Feel free to call me Dr. Caro, or Caro ~, or Dr. Caro Capi "
Batin, and winks so much that you're likely to hear a noise...
Carol-Caroline.
Someone I know... but that should do the same.
Because he's one of the seven magicians, the Mage of Illusion.
How could he be here when he is the most open of the Seven Mages...
That my student life is still going to be a turbulent one...
─ ─ I thought so.
