Become A Human In Another World
ACT 2: Chapter 44 - A Little Preparation
"against me. That way, you'll be forgiven." Continue with a sadistic smile.
"Excuse me?!"
"Yes! Whatever happens, you'll be forgiven. So, if you want to be forgiven, then fight me in the arena! If you don't come, then we'll look for you until we can. After that, I don't know what we'll do. Just pray that your family is not involved!" He answered while laughing loudly.
"Rian, you're so smart!" The guy named "Doys" clapped his hands softly. Her unpleasant face was also looking at me.
While I glanced at Aina. He looks like the provoked one. Besides, I could see a slight tinge of a smile on his face. Oi oi! What are you thinking, Aina?!
"Then, this we will be waiting for you in arena 3. Come or your family is involved!" Doys and his entourage are gone.
I sat down, breathing a long breath. In my heart I feel happy, right. I'm very happy. Because with this, it will be a stepping stone so that humans are no longer underestimated. I'm so happy!
"Sister. Is my brother going to do it?" Aina asked me. Even so, his eyes asked me to do it.
But it's true. I'm so happy! I didn't think the opportunity would come so soon.
And I never thought this opportunity would come to myself.
"Okay, this is very troublesome, huh?

"Suzu!" One of the two braided disciples greeted Suzu and approached her. He is one of Suzu's closest friends at the Academy.
Suzu was a famous person in this Academy. Because he could be said to be a person who could surpass some teachers in the Academy. His potential to become the successor of the strongest mage of the Kin kingdom was wide open.
He was known to be able to control all elements, even special elements like ice and fog. But still, he could not use the elements of light and darkness.
Actually, there was a certain reason why Suzu could use all the elements.
"You know? My brother and sister came today! How's yours?" This student named Dyas came forward to Suzu who had just been silent.
"Ah, yes it is. There's gonna be my brother here, so I've tidied up the room as best I can." Suzu answered, still looking confused.
"Hmm, your brother's a human, isn't he? But he looks handsome! Especially with her white hair and her smile! Really dream, isn't it?" Dyas said while holding his cheek and slightly shouted.
"Stop! He already has a fiancee, you know!" Suzu answered Dyas quickly.
"Ah, me first, huh?" Dyas looks sad about it.
Suzu smiled, looking at the innocence of her friend.
Suzu chose to move to Furyuun because she felt left behind by the others. Since then, she has cut her hair short. He said it would make it easier for him in training.
Although at first he was a bit lonely, but having a friend like Dyas made him feel happy.
Spending the day practicing, and sometimes playing and chatting with friends, is a habit at the Academy.
But, there was something unusual going on that afternoon.
Several students, both male and female, were seen running down the aisle, passing Suzu and Dyas one by one. They look happy on their faces.
"What's up? They run like that? Can't you run down the aisle?" Dyas also looked astonished.
Suzu thought, just looking at it won't help either. Quickly he moved.
"Ah, pardon. May I ask why everyone seems to be in such a hurry?" Suzu stopped one of the women who was running.
"Did? You don't know? There is a human coming to this Academy, and soon will be invited to a duel by Rian you know! Know it? Rian was the strongest in close combat, even some of the bodyguards lost to him!" Shouted the student happy.
There was a sense of surprise that came to Suzu's mind. It made him remember something.
"Hmm, isn't that dangerous? Such a human was against the Beast race." Dyas hesitated to hear it.
But the student just did not listen to her, and instead quickly left. It seems like he really wants to see it.
"Oi Suzu's. It's not what I imagined, is it? Isn't the human in the Academy today your only brother? What if what happens." Dyas immediately understood what was happening.
Dyas says what Suzu's thoughts are now. But what appeared was not worry, but a smile on his face.
"No. Even so, the brother was very strong. He's also very smart. Maybe he's getting better at being trained by Ruly's brother." Suzu remembered.
("If it's not wrong, Brother Ruly did not leave for the Advanced Academy huh? He must've trained Ren.") Inner Suzu.
But Dyas didn't give him time to daydream. Dyas immediately pulls Suzu's hand, resuscitating her.
"Suzu Hoi! If you want to see it, let's see it!" Dyas said as he continued to pull on Suzu's arm. Suzu also complied, because she really wanted to watch it.

Ren looked for Kurls who had just entered the Academy gate. It seemed like Kurls had even guessed that Ren went to the Academy alone.
"Hi, uncle Kurls. Can you help me for a second?" Ren and Aina finally waited in front of the stables.
A little overwhelmed, Kurls came to Ren's front while slightly arranging his clothes. It looks a little messy. And Ren easily knew, Kurls had just prepared to be ready!
"Oh yeah oh yeah? Don't you let Uncle Kurls fuck over drunk last night? Is that true? Therefore now uncle is less neat?" Ren tried to tease Kurls for a while.
"A-Ahh, that's not what I mean sir! Sorry about the big one!" Kurls immediately shouted and lowered her head.
Meanwhile, Ren looked laughing happily at that.
"Yahh, don't think about it. I'll get straight to the topic. Can I leave Aina to uncle to watch a game at Arena 3?" now Ren turned his face into a serious one.
Kurls even knows that this is not a good time to joke.
"Alright, Ren. If you could figure out what you'd do?" Kurls should at least know what's going to happen, and what he should do.
"Ahh, don't worry. I just play a little. You can see it from the arena. It'll be fun." Ren smiled in writing. A smile that people of his age should not have.
Hearing that, Kurls only sighed, then nodded and took Aina in her arms, leading her towards the spectator bench in arena 3.
"alright. Now I'm gonna play too?" whispered Ren slowly.
Now Ren was preparing in the waiting room of one of the arenas in the academy. There were several wooden swords and shields, ranging in size from a blade to one as big as a human body, all there.
"Guhums. Looks like I have to measure my strength compared to those academy people, huh?" Ren spoke to himself, as he sat down with a wooden sword with a 1 meter long blade beside him.
"Ahh, it would be great if he was a famous person. But, I also hope to be able to win this match."
"Because usually in the story there's a fight that one can't win, right?" Ren smiled remembering her like the novel he had read.
But he has his own intentions. He intended to make this quarrel as his jumping stone. With this fight, it will be seen the true strength of humans. And that way, people will be more respected.
That's what Ren thought.
("I'll have to apologize to Suzu later. Maybe this caused him some trouble.") Ren lowered his head and smiled, shaking his head.
The sound of the doorknob rang out, and from there came a female teacher who might be the match supervisor.
"Hey, are you ready?" She had a motherly face, and of course a stern countenance.
Had seen a face a little pity, worry, and sadness seen on the face of the supervisor. Ren could even tell without his [Observer(Mimic)] skill.
"You can think about it again to back off. He is a Beast race! Moreover, he was the best in the Academy when it came to melee combat!" He continued with concern to persuade Ren.
Ren could only smile kindly with it.
"can't. If I retreat, the Larvest family's good name will be tarnished. And also, I've been training a lot! I won't lose." Ren laughed while forming a muscle pose.
"What?! You're from the Larvest family? Then, you are the older brother of Suzu?" The teacher started to get a little hysterical and with sparkling eyes looked at Ren.
It's kind of scary, indeed.
And apparently, the family name Larvest is already very famous here.
"A-ah, right. What's up?" Ren was a little scared and backed off.
"Hmm, that's right. Suzu Larvest is the best student of the entire generation that exists today. If you back off, it'll affect his name." The teacher understood.
Ren's eyes rounded instantly upon hearing that. He's getting excited.
("Suzu is the strongest in this academy?") Ren is small. He remembered when the two of them had fought together. Indeed, Suzu's magic ability at that time was very good, but the one who won the match was Ren.
Ren still could not believe it, but he got out of the room, then went out into the battle arena.
