A huge bulletin board was set up near the main entrance of the school building.
The bulletin board is filled with papers with various recruitment flyers on it. There are three classes from A to C.
There are three classes, from A to C, and I’m sure I’ll have the most to do with this class for the next three years.
We look through it and find our names.
“Um, ……–Oh, we’re all in class A?”
“Oh! I was worried that I might be in a different class, but it was good to see ……!”
“Good! It’s good to see you, Noah!”
“Yeah. me too.”
The class didn’t matter to me, but, well, it’s not bad to have someone I know.
The names of the other students are written in the book, of course, but I don’t know who they are.
— but I find only two names that I know.
In the same A class, Clarice Rutherford.
And in class B next door was the name of Rufus Andesta, the commoner hater.
“Mr. Rufus is in Class B……”
“That’s another class. Well, maybe it’s for the best.”
“Yeah. It’s weird to be called Mr. after I defeated that guy for so long.”
“You’re serious about that request……”
“Well, I’m only half-joking. I’m just kidding. …… I should let him know a little bit about that. He’s got to pick and choose.”
“…………”
I feel Arthur gasp slightly at that statement from me.
”-I’m joking. Well, you’ll find out in the evening. Tomorrow, he’ll be quiet.”
“I hope so……”
The first day was only the entrance ceremony, and the students had their own free time.
The Reglas Magic Academy has a dormitory on the premises, and it is a complete dormitory system.
The tall building at the back of the school building is it, and inside it is divided into boys’ and girls’ dorms.
We split up and went back to our respective rooms to sort out our own.
The dorms are quite large, with enough room for about 270 students in the entire school.
The upper floor is for the upperclassmen and the lower floor is for the lowerclassmen.
It’s big enough to live in – but even so, it seems that it’s not possible to have one …… room for everyone, the rooms were shared.
I cleaned up my personal belongings that I brought from Lowood, greeted my roommate appropriately (also a new student, but in a different class), and passed the time by strolling around the dormitory in a random way.
–And then the night.
I went to the training grounds.
I didn’t expect to visit the training grounds first before classes started.
The training grounds were dimly lit, and it seemed that there was already someone inside. Probably Rufus. Good preparation.
“Mr. Noah.”
“Noah!”
I heard someone called me and turned around seeing Arthur and Nina standing there.
“You came all the way here?”
“Of course I do! I know you’re going to win, Noah, but I’m so worried about you that I can’t sleep, indeed. ……”
“I was worried about it too, but …… rather the opposite. If Nina is really right about Noah’s power surpassing the Marquis de Andesta’s little boy, then there’s no way to miss it.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
“…… Yeah, right. Well, it’s okay, isn’t it? That Rufus guy is going to be overwhelmed anyway, the audience is welcome.”
“Maybe. Noah, give him a shot!”
With that, Arthur shuffles and thrusts his fist forward.
“Yes. Why not?”
“Here, at last, commoner. –And this nameless man and highness. If you’d told me, I’d have come for you.”
With that, Rufus smiles wryly and bows to show them.
”Mr. Rufus, …… I don’t think we need to fight this unnecessary battle. It’s not too late, can’t we stop hating the commoners and compromise ……?”
“What do you mean, sir, a man of the duke’s house? Yes, yes, of course, that’s true. I’d like to come closer if I could–but the commoner there insults me, a nobleman, and cheats on the exam! The shallowness of taking advantage of the weak status of a commoner when you have no power whatsoever! There is no mercy for such a lowly being.”
“Noah, I know he’s not the kind of person who…”
“Oh, well, …… it seems that Lady Nina has been brainwashed by the commoner scum there ……. As a nobleman – no, as the person who will be supporting this country from now on, I must save this place – I must save it. This garbage is still unnecessary, after all. …… Rest assured. In the name of my clan, I will expel the commoners there tonight off campus.”
Saying that, Rufus stands in the middle of the training ground and looks at me.
Nina, who looks a little sad, looks back at me.
“…… Looks like you have to fight after all.”
“It’s all right. I’ve seen a lot of noblemen with such a fixed mindset. It’s not a surprise to me. But it’s interesting to know that there are some weirdos like Nina.”
“Wow, I don’t think I’m that weird……”
“Anyway. You don’t understand what you’re saying, you have to make him understand. They want a fight, okay? They’re just waiting for a goddamn fight.”
Then Nina sighs briefly as if lamenting.
“I can’t help it. And I can’t forgive myself for insulting you, Noah. If this is the case, go ahead and give me a …… shot already!”
“Yeah, I’m on it.”
I walk over to Rufus.
Of course, I’m confident I’ll win.
But you never know what’s going to happen in a fight. I won’t let my guard down. Underestimating your opponent and letting them scoop up your feet is not what a strong man does. That’s what Shelah has taught me. This is probably not only true for the monsters, but also for the magicians.
I’m going to firmly assess my opponent’s attitude and abilities, and show them what I’m capable of. That’s all.
”Are you sure, commoner?”
“What?”
“This is the last time you’ll be able to show off in front of Nina. You are about to be stripped down to your bare skin. ‘You’re about to be flayed, and in a few seconds, you’ll be overturned, looking up at the ceiling. Are you sure you’re ready for such a feckless display?’ that what I asked.”
Saying this, Rufus let out a wry smile.
”What’s that all about? It doesn’t matter, we’ll find out who wins in the fight.”
”Ha, I only praise you for still being able to put up that bravado on the part of a commoner. If you’d become a swindler, you could have played an active role.”
“You’re right. …… Now, let’s get on with it, shall we? Don’t tell me you’re stalling to start a fight because you’re afraid of losing?”
At those words, Rufus instantly gets a grim look on his face.
He twitches his nose with a twitch and wrinkles his brow.
”You insulted this me as a commoner over and over again. ……! I will cripple you right now, as you wish! It’s going to carve so much fear into your body that you’ll be hesitant to use magic ever again!”
“Enough with the front talk, Rufus. Show me you’re one of a kind, unlike me.”
“I hear you want to die quickly. ……! All right. The moment this coin touches the ground, the fight begins. Let’s go!”
With that, Rufus flicks the coin off with his fingers and flies it into the air.
The coin spins around, drifts through the air, and slowly descends in a mountainous trajectory.
–Then it bounces on the ground with a clink.
“It’s a start! It’s too late to regret it! Fear the difference in power between the commoners and the nobility!”
Rufus thrusts his right hand towards me.
“He’ll skewer me in an instant! ‘Ice Edge!'”
The magic circle that appeared in front of Rufus’ eyes reacted and the ice skewers attacked me with great force.
”You can’t avoid it anyway! You’ve never seen such extensive magic before!”
Ice magic or …….
When you come to decide on the first move and the wide range magic you confidently put out is this level ……, there are only one or two more magic techniques if any.
It was warm compared to Fenrir’s ice attack that he encountered once during the A-class quest and faced relative to it.
”–“Flash.”
“Hahaha! You don’t have time to bring out the magic! If you don’t want to die, just surrender quickly —– ugh!”
A moment later, wham! and Rufus let out a short groan.
Rufus rolls on the spot beautifully and falls onto his back on the ground.
Rufus stared at the ceiling, stunned as if he had no idea what had happened.
”Hey, what’s ……”
“A few seconds later you’re flipping over and looking up at the ceiling…… was it? That’s funny because it looks like you’re the one looking up at the ceiling. Did you prepare yourself properly?”
“Heh, the commoner……!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
