Bastard.

...****************...

...Specialty Schools of War Training -...

...Year Two....

...「Happy Host has completed one year of training. What does Host already get during training?」...

Nothing, Chae Rin. I mean, if that means I'm being away like I always am and then getting some sort of playful treatment together by making me fall over while everyone else is laughing at me, maybe that's what I can say.

We haven't even learned to use a rifle! We just kept training stamina, warming up by swinging the sword and playing the spear. Keep it that way, they say in the second and third years will start using rifles and training duels between students. At least it's worth waiting for.

However, looking at the types of people who were in my training class. The zeal to run this training instantly disappeared. Ryder's been increasing her herd to almost 19 people, which means everything, it's kind of hate me and I don't think I deserve to be everywhere.

Sometimes, they doodle my bedroom door, don't let me into the bathroom because all the shower cubicles are used, steal my uniform, remove my shoes, take my shoes off, I don't even have a finger to count all the bad things they did to me.

What did I really do until they were like that ?

...「Nothing?」...

Well that's it, that's the cause. Because I didn't do anything. If I kill them all, then they can't do anything to me anymore.

...「Relax, Host」...

"All present, sir!" ryder's voice on Ryvern broke my daydream. Old coach Ryvern snorted loudly before nodding his head. His eyes noticed one by one the children aka small soldiers who were ready to hold a small rifle.

"Alright, the lesson you've been waiting for has finally arrived! Today, we will learn how to use this rifle with the basic wind magic that you already have. This, a bullet made of iron and can penetrate the skin to the flesh of monsters as well as us. As a first try, the bullets we're going to use are those made of paper."

Ryvern began handing out one by one a pack of bullets and when he gave them to me, he whispered, "Review if there's any more trouble."

See it? I didn't do anything and just breathing was getting a threat. What happens if I ally with the Demon Queen? At least I'd be happy to see them all being attacked by an army of monsters...

"Every sir, there won't be any problems sir."

I heard laughter being held behind me after I said that.

Hm, this time what else are they going to do? Are they gonna shoot me with that rifle?

After I re-entered the line, Ryvern set up five targets that were arranged horizontally but the distance between the first target and the last one was different. The fifth target is the target that has the farthest distance as far as the eye can see a target.

The first person to try the target, of course Ryder. He stands at the limit provided by Ryvern, calmly trying to tell Ryder the firing ordinance while concentrating on concentrating the wind magic into the rifle in order to pull the trigger, the bullet will fly towards the target. Not to mention that both hands must determine which direction the bullet will be fired and must read the movement of the wind so that the bullet is hit right at the target.

Ohh, this is all very challenging for a guy with a shrimp brain like me !

DORR

One shot drifted from Ryder and looked right on target but did not fit in the middle but was in the corner of the target. Everyone immediately clapped (of course I included ) and Ryder nodded her head before walking to the front of the second target which was a considerable distance away from the first target.

DORR

The second shot hit the bottom center of the target almost once towards the middle.

DORR

The third shot hit the third target in the right center area of the main target with a diminishing distance.

DORR

Fourth shot, hitting the fourth target in the upper middle area.

DORR

The fifth shot is further away from the fourth target, a bullet that Ryder fired did not hit the target at all but was seen there was a puff of sand next to the target which means the bullet knew the ground below the target. Ryder put the gun back on and everyone clapped back, and I clapped.

After Ryder sat down before glancing at me, Ryvern immediately pointed at one by one people trying the rifle according to the line. Several bullets were fired and none of them worked as well as Ryder. How is this Chae Rin? Am I trying as much as I can or pretending like I always am?

...「Up」...

Well, I'm trying so hard that my hands are itchy. Can I try it later in a quiet place instead of here? Buthe

"Alright, Kyle. Your turn," said Ryvern, breaking my daydream. I nodded my head and stood in front of the first target. Lifting the rifle parallel to the shoulder and thinking quite hard and fast.

All right, let's do it

DORR

Focusing my attention on the bullets that had been pushed using wind magic from behind the rifle and directing it was quite difficult as well, but in the end the bullets I fired hit the target right in the middle. The atmosphere was silent, so I directly walked to the second target.

DORR

The second shot now remains in the center of the target but now the hole from the bullet effect starts to be bigger than before.

Ah, I used too much mana on my wind magic. Thinking of that I walked towards the front of the third target who was quite far away. Hm, it is quite difficult also to pretend to wear a little mana.

DOORRRR

The third target has a 5 cm diameter hole right in the center of the target. Oh, now I can concentrate and control mana on my wind magic better and not too much so that the impact is not too great for others.

Except for coach Ryvern who starts frowning when he feels like I'm playing with what I have. Like, the example at first seen where from the person suddenly a little and then became suddenly collected a lot without using items or potions. But he wouldn't have expected it because he thought I was ordinary.

DOORRRS

The fourth target, the hole from the right bullet in the center of the target is getting smaller to only 2.5 cm. Feeling that I knew as much as what I could use to shoot well without being caught having a lot of mana beyond the normal word, I started walking to the fifth target. At the same time as I was about to pull the trigger, I saw Ryder suddenly stand up and was about to shoot me in the back.

DORR

DOORR

BRAKKK

Two bullets were fired and several children curled up as Ryder pulled the trigger at me. The bullet he shot towards me didn't hit me of course, instead by 'intentionally' I bounced towards the side of Ryvern's shocked ear. My shot hit the midpoint of the fifth target which even collapsed immediately because the hole from my bullet was more than 50 cm.

The atmosphere was silent as usual except for Ryvern's heavy breath and Ryder's pale face. I smiled at Ryvern, "How about sir? Can I get back in line?" Ryvern could not say anything and Ryder ran straight out of his row and hit me until I fell to the ground.

BRUISES

"You! I saw you accidentally throw that bullet at my uncle, right?!" Ryder pulled my collar as she stood on top of my body that had fallen on the ground. All the children were watching us but no one dared to break us up. Ryvern just silently watched the two of us and I could feel some seniors who were walking around the field watching.

I saw Ryder who although she was grasping my collar, her hands were shaking and cold sweat was flowing from her forehead. It seems he was afraid that he was the one who actually misfired his uncle but he tried to make me the perpetrator for his actions.

"Whatchu mean? I obviously shot that target. Different from someone trying to shoot someone else in the back. Tell me, did you see me point that rifle at Coach Ryvern? Tell me!" I replied with a sharp look and approached her face before whispering with a smile on my face.

"It's the result if you keep bothering me. Next time, it's not just your uncle's head that's ruined. Your head will also be cut off and I'll sell to the black market."

I don't know if there's a black market here, but I'll just tell him he's freaking out.

Frightened and deathly pale, Ryder tried to hold back her expression from her face so she immediately pushed me back to fall to the ground while removing her hand from my already pitiful collar. He walked up to Coach Ryvern and said, "Sir, excuse my mistake, just now my rifle lost control and I don't know what to do but pull the trigger."

Ryvern smiled before snorting as he patted Ryder's move, "No problem, Private Ryder. Everyone has their own faults."

Then the class resumed.

No one cared about me still lying on the ground, some seniors helped Ryvern replace the new target board. As they approached the destroyed and already collapsed fifth target board, their faces frowned and occasionally glanced at me who started to stand up while patting my clothes and pants exposed to the sand and dry ground.

Though I was pushed to the ground, no one cared enough to say anything or the actions of coach Ryvern himself who did not rebuke his nephew at all. Grumbling inwardly, I walked back into the line, as I glanced at the other children, everyone was trying to avoid his gaze from me.

Well, it's good now that I've been able to control mana and use it better than before. When will the Dark Soul Slasher V2 move open?

The hell-like days in the War Training Special School continued. I rarely see Myles. I deliberately tried to avoid meeting him all of a sudden. Although sometimes, when meeting Myles who was my senior to rule or just demonstrate a duel, he was worried when he accidentally saw Ryder suddenly push me or throw sand at me 'Not Intentionally.'

As Myles was about to act or walk towards us, I shook my head and smiled. He looked increasingly wrong and would blame himself but he ended up smiling back at me.

The outcome of the duel will be chosen through the level the individual is at. The stronger he will enter class A and the weakest or lowest class is class E.

When all individuals have their own class, the next is the formation of groups. A group of five people divided from each class has one person. The leader of the group was certainly from the A class student. There were 20 students under Ryvern's coach. If you are not lucky then it seems that one group will contain many weak people and few strong ones.

After explaining that to us, the dueling draw began. In pairs, other children begin to fight each other, until some children have entered the category of classes A, B and C. No one was in E class as far as my eyes looked at those duels.

The part I didn't wait for came too. I picked up a raffle paper that was deliberately filled only by Ryder's name. Of course I know that and I'm quiet. No one would care if I spoke. What if this time I let him do whatever he wants in this duel? Going to class E is no problem either. Good idea, maybe if they knew I was weak, they wouldn't bother me anymore?

Showing Ryder's name on the paper I picked up on Ryvern, I walked towards the field weighing in to choose to look weak. Although they will most likely act even more arbitrarily, this is worth a try...

All right, Chae Rin? Help me later while using healing magic, okay?

...「It's up to Hosts only」...

No problem, I will be a good boy today and accept all his anger. I hope that after this Ryder will not bother me anymore and choose to improve her abilities or anything like that. After all, I was so lazy to see her status that I didn't see her.

I just want to see what I want to see. The Hachiman novel. Those words are absolutely right. I just want to see the status I deserve to see.

Ryder grinned in front of me and I looked back at her. Ryvern held his hand up high and shouted, "Duel starts!!!!"

WUUNGGS

BUAKKKKKK

Ryder immediately dashed towards me and swung her fist right at my right cheek, her fists throwing me a few meters back.

Everyone was heard holding their breath and Ryder looked at her own reddened fist. He could not believe that he had such power. But before long he immediately smiled and approached me who was still on the ground.

Ah, the view from the bottom to the top of the sky is quite beautiful huh? Next time, I'll take Nina and Raven to see the ceiling. If there is Bianca it will also be very interesting to listen to the current language. Of course for you Chae Rin, you've seen her first with me now, haha.

I looked at Ryder who was already on top of my body and swung her fist at my face again.

BUKKK

BUKKKKK

BUUUUKKKK

Constantly, his fists continued to drift until I could see many white stars in my eyes. Ryder muttered as she continued pointing with a grin on her face, she didn't care that many people saw her like that, "Ahahaha, look at your pathetic bastard! It's all your fault so Sharence hates me now! I'm gonna tear your ugly face off! Feel this! This is!! I'll kill you, you bastard!"

CROCODILES

The longer, he punched me harder until a notification suddenly appeared,

...《 Host's body consciousness is thinning! Time left until can make a complete recovery 00:05 》...

...《 Time left until you can make a complete recovery 00:04 》...

Chae Rin, I did ask for your help but it was just a blank statement, you don't need to bother like this, I will be able to recover my own body with my own magic. Ehe.

BUAKKKK

Nothing seems to stop Ryder, I thought.

...《 Time left until can make a complete recovery 00:02 》...

Ryder raised her fist again while taking her breath. "This is for you who've tried to scare me!" he yelled and hit his fist straight into the middle of my nose

...《 Time left until can make a complete recovery 00:00 》...

my whole vision went dark.

...****************...

Chilly.

I woke up with a different ceiling from my room. The mattress also feels softer and warmer. Is this a health room or something? Who me? Where am I ?

Do I have to ask that question to Myles who seemed to be sleeping soundly beside this bed?

...「The recovery of the Host's body is completely completed. It's been half an hour Host passed out and Myles ran here before crying when he saw Host」...

For the first time, Chae Rin explained the situation around me and I immediately thanked her before turning my attention around the room that turned out to be quiet. Looking at Myles who was still sleeping quite soundly, I lay back down and used clairvoyance to see the current state.

Ah, I found Ryder talking to Ryvern. Why are their faces both so grim? Shouldn't they be happy to have toppled me and finally left me alone?

Lazy to open and listen to their conversation with Telepathy, I closed my eyes again and eventually fell asleep.

The next day, seeing me recover, the class resumed. The group selection was done when I passed out yesterday and I also entered E class.

My group of four other people were Ryder's loyal followers and one of them acted as the leader of this group. They were all trying not to care about me knowing Ryder had gotten into trouble after knocking me unconscious and battered like that.

Yesterday, when I woke up again and received Myles' cries and hugs, she told me that someone had complained to the Heart Kingdom about what happened to me so that coach Ryvern and Ryder were put under suspicion.

Who told them to Dad? There's nothing I know well or even nothing I've talked to here other than Chae Rin.

Did Mr Dylan do it?

Hmm, what Mr. Dylan did was very good, but he seemed to be throwing hot oil on the burning fire on the surface of my skin.

It doesn't matter, despite my gut feeling bad about this expedition. It's also good for me to find out about the curse that is on the body of Raven and Queen Elena because the Dark Forest was a place to spawn monsters. Maybe the curse came from a rare monster? because I haven't found anything related to the curse since I've been traveling around Heart Kingdom and Heart city.

Filled with thoughts that kept bearing fruit inside my head, this expedition finally began. Each group one by one into a portal that has been prepared, the task of this expedition is very easy. Shooting down one by one the other group members until there was only one group left as the victors, the entire army as well as seniors would be given some kind of protective magic so that if they were shot, they would be shot, automatically their bodies will immediately move back into the school.

That sounds so easy.

Senior says we soldiers can avoid monsters without killing them because the Dark Forest is actually a place to die. There is no living creature there except shady trees that appear by themselves.

The statement was quite suspicious and creepy but in the end my group went inside the portal and we arrived in the middle of a dense forest.

I took out my rifle and looked around, completely Dark Forest because the atmosphere here was quite gloomy and grim.

The four children started walking and I followed them from the very back. I doubt they will leave me if I walk in the front so that my position is very profitable

"What if you walk in front? You are the weakest, so if someone shoots you, you will fall but give us time to hide and attack the enemy" the chief, finally conveying a very reasonable excuse. Everyone gave their gazes to me coldly. Sure, sure.

For the safety of all of you, why not? In age, I'm actually the oldest one here...

I nodded my head and walked to the front. We traced the forest and I finally saw them suddenly disappear just like that. It seemed like they were wearing some sort of item where if they were to mark a place, they could return to that place by using that item.

Like a crystal for teleportation. I also wanted to run but I didn't really remember where they were marked. I opened the map and there was only a big X in the middle of the transparent window screen.

Chae Rin's? Chae Rin's? The system?

Wait, Chae Rin didn't tell me? I can still see my status and everything is still high and the same, but why the cheat section is even a Null that can not be suppressed at all. I remembered something and immediately reached into my pocket and clothes.

Ah, I forgot to ask for an item that has been given protective magic so that I can return to the Wait School, I have teleportation right

...〈Teleportation cannot be activated〉...

...〈Teleportation cannot be activated〉...

...〈Teleportation cannot be activated〉...

I kept trying and finally the last notification came up.

...《 Teleportation cannot be used because Dark Forest's range is unknown 》...

Um, did I end up really getting into real trouble ?
