Shinwa Jidai no Saikyou Kenja
Lesson 1: Healing Braves, Remembering Everything
"Guuuuuuu...!
I got kicked in the ass, and I got blown up to the wall of a school building 30 meters away.
Maybe it's broken somewhere. My whole body was screaming.
"Huhahahahaha! That's what I'm talking about! Your efforts were all in vain!
Curse, who kicked me in the ass, seemed to enjoy himself from the bottom of his heart.
The facial expressions of the college students visiting are dark.
I force a worn out body.
It's not weird when you lose your mind. I manage to keep it with my strength and guts.
—— I was taking a graduation exam from the Middle School of Magic.
I have no magic talent, no sword talent. But I didn't neglect my efforts alone.
I repeated my magic practice every day until my magic ran out and kept waving my sword until the sun went down. Still, the only thing I could do was crawl around in critical condition of advancement.
Until now, it has been a college life that I have managed with my efforts, but the graduation exams may not be the only thing I can do. I have come to the Special Graduation Exam for failing a regular exam.
The special graduation exam is supposed to pass if you play a mock battle with a middle school magic school instructor and are recognized as "capable of graduation".
The instructors who acknowledged my efforts quickly put me through a special exam to rescue me.
But not all instructors were favored.
"Are we done yet? Don't you feel sorry for the people who moved for you?
"No... not yet!
Curse, the magic instructor, is looking down on me.
A native of the elite, he seemed to hate me for lack of talent from the beginning of school. I was deliberately disgraced in front of everyone or even given a job that I didn't need.
I couldn't stand Curse's jokes without complaining. Apparently the attitude was appreciated by other students and instructors.
To Curse, I didn't seem to like that......
"You don't have to use magic! Mmm!"
Curse comes close to me fluttering with his fists.
"Dr. Curse! Please don't do this anymore! Are you going to kill kite!?
"What, are you trying to interfere with the exam, Meena Linzer?"
"Well, that's... yeah. Kite is more important than exams."
Meena, a familiar child and president of the school year, ate down on Curse. Beautiful girls competing for first or second place in the school year somehow didn't let go of me for the fall.
"Don't stop me, I'll fight until the instructor... admits it..."
"What are you talking about!? He's not going to admit to graduation!
"Turn to the instructor. What is he? I'm not a ghost either. If you can defeat me, I'll admit to graduation. If you're willing to die, you can handle it, right? Well, I don't know."
…… I knew you weren't going to let me pass from the beginning! There's no way a junior high school magic student can beat a teacher! Dr. Ares, who was supposed to be in charge, was suddenly injured... and I guess that doesn't have anything to do with it. "
Originally, the graduation exam was to be dealt with by Dr. Ares, who was my instructor. Somehow, he was attacked and injured by someone this morning. Because of that, Curse became the target.
Needless to say, if Curse is the killer, it's a crime, but it's not like we have proof.
"Thanks, Meena. But that's okay. Even Dr. Curse can't have an exam he can't complete. Dr. Curse is right. If you're willing to die, you can handle it."
By the way, when you say "willing to die" by Curse, you mean literally. There are occasional deaths in interpersonal matches, not just graduation exams. I'm really fighting for my life.
It is the rule of the graduation exam to surrender or to fight until you are incapable of fighting. Even if you surrender, you can pass if your abilities are recognized from previous battles.... but Curse won't admit it.
"Kite... but if Kite dies, I..."
When Remilia was about to say something.
"If that instructor does anything to Kite, Meena will smash him to death. So don't worry about Remilia. Whoa."
Remilia's twin sister —— Meena -- thumbed up by pounding Remilia's shoulder.
Meena is a beautiful girl in the next seat of the school year. Stronger than Remilia in a one-on-one battle.
He's more talented than I am. He's a promising future wizard. Meena might be able to defeat Curse, a real instructor.
"Stop talking in a shitty atmosphere... we're not done fighting yet, are we?
"That's... yeah, but... yeah"
"Talk about Kate fitting round if she beats Curse. But just in case."
Oh, boy, I worry too much. No matter how much, there's no way a teacher can kill a student. The instructor should be magically good, noble, and personable.
It would also be convenient for me to be inspired to die.
Then what I need to do--
I squeezed my sword.
"You kept me waiting. I win, and Dr. Curse will admit it!
Squeeze your strength and kick the ground. And waved his sword sideways.
My body is worn out. But I can still move!
Now the blow is the best today!
But Curse gently avoids my sword and turns right back. It didn't take long to breathe, and it activated magic. Ice spears are made one after another in the universe. That number -- 30 bottles.
"I hate that about you —— whoa? You've got a bigger output than I thought due to a failed magic activation--a lot!
Curse's attack magic is activated in a tone that is not a failed breeze at all.
"Huhahahahaha! If you don't take this number and die, you pass. Aaaaaa!
So many spears that I just think you're willing to kill me.
Not long before we took the distance, massive spears poured down.
Bullshit............ Ro?
Whatever it was, I didn't expect it to kill me. Plus, it enhances just before it activates magic. You're totally gonna kill me. Make it look like an accident.
But we don't have time to protest anymore.
Kin! Kin! Kin!
Successfully intercepted three spears in the matter.
But...
"--Ah... Oh..."
One on the chest. One on your left arm. One on your right arm. One on the knee.
A total of four spears dictated my body.
Fatal injuries were a blow to the chest.
A direct blow to the heart seemed to have escaped, but the feeling of blood dripping through the arteries.
No way, I didn't expect to aim as far as the steeple...
Hot.
I no longer feel too much pain, but I only know that my body is screaming.
Oh, I wonder if I'm going to die like this.
Consciousness goes far. I can't see anything with my sight wrapped around it. I kept trying to disappear from this world.
————————
The moment I was accepting nature and death. Suddenly, something poured in that wasn't me.
No, it's not 'something not me'. Clearly 'myself'.
I don't even know what you're talking about for a second. But that's what I felt.
Me and me sticking together, becoming one.
And I remembered everything.
