From No Body To Hero
Episode 41
Everyone moved home the next morning. Bern and Lewis are going straight to their dorm. Alastair and Althea as well as the blue dragon had definitely followed Bern. Steven had to follow Kleio considering he was Kleio's bodyguard.
Anton invites Bern to his home considering Bern is more served like a child than him. But Bern refused to remember they did not have a blood relationship.
The elf that Felix sent also just arrived. As an elf, a girl anyway, she was indeed worthy of being called a natural beauty.
He will also follow Kleio. With an elf-like bomb with Kleio, the second and third princes would be a little more wary. Elves were not the type to look for trouble, but when their race was hurt, they would not be silent.
["Well.... We need to start moving like ghosts again.."] Alastair complained a little.
"certainly. You think there are others who can accept demons other than Bern easily?" Lewis replied when he was in the same horse carriage.
Because it is unidirectional, why use another horse carriage?
{But you guys received it well!} Althea spoke dissatisfied even though Lewis could not hear her. The blue dragon nodded its head hearing Althea.
"Miss Althea, I can't see and hear you." Lewis said with a smile.
["She said you guys accepted me well."] Alastair.
"Huh? If it wasn't for Bern, we would be like that too. We know Bern won't keep things that could harm others." Lewis said and everyone nodded in agreement.
Bern who was the subject of the conversation fell asleep while leaning against the wall of the carriage.
"What did Bern do last night? He looks tired." Ask Lewis.
["Ah, Althea says it's the effect of using too much mana."] Reply Alastair.
Lewis also knew Bern was overwhelmed by the civil war in the city of Sebasta, also running out of mana for assembling his broomstick.

"Hahhhhh! For some reason, I miss the scent of the academy." Lewis said as he inhaled the air voraciously.
"Because we're gonna miss this place after we graduate." Bern replied when he went to his room.

When it was done, Bern walked alone to the library.
When one is better than the other, it is bound to cause envy.
All those young masters started to whisper and demonize Bern. Well, of course there are some who become fans like Zion.
Bern of course ignored them like ghosts.
Tusk's!
Bern heard the sound of an arrow piercing the target and went towards the training center.
Bern could see Lewis running around with his arrow.
Arrow training center is not like just standing and shooting, it is a spacious place with various features that make yourself feel archery in a difficult scope.
The most annoying effects are earthquakes and snow storms. And the easiest of course is the flat road.
"You practiced after arriving? You're getting better." Tegur Bern's.
Lewis who heard Bern's voice smiled as he wiped the sweat with his sleeves.
"Yes! It was thanks to my experience too!" Lewis looks excited.
Bern smiled and conjured up an arc of white light made from which.
"Experience is important, but good posture also adapts to each situation is paramount. At the very least, it can make you survive alone if separated from your group." Said Bern and started running starting training.
The normal ground suddenly became mud and a strong wind blew. This is another challenge from archers. A strong wind is so annoying.
But Bern released his mana arrow which was made exactly like a regular arrow. It swerved in the wind, but still hit the target.
Reading the wind direction is important for those who use long-range attacks.
All were on target even though Bern didn't control the arrow.
"Huh.... Easier than I thought." Bern said allowing his hair to fall apart due to the wind.
Lewis was already gaping and wanted to faint when Bern said it was easy. Mana Bern doesn't control that arrow anymore.
"As an archer, use the environment as a friend, not an enemy. What if I help you practice? Try to shoot me. If you can even hit the end of my clothes, you win." Bern smiled a little.
Lewis' eyes twinkled and nodded rapidly.

.
Lewis was lying on the ground after 2 hours. Her clothes were dirty, her face was muddy and even her hair had twigs in it.
Other than messy hair, Bern did not have a few pounds of dirt on his body. He's not even sweating!
"Damn! I can't even get to the end of your clothes!" Complain Lewis.
'Use this posture in this situation.' Lewis remembers Bern even briefly teaching him in the snowstorm feature.
Tusk's!
'You're too slow. In an environment like this, speed is everything.'
He also recalled the white arrow almost hitting his head in the heavy rain situation. And the sad thing is that Bern didn't even use his mana to control his arrow!
'Your hand strength is good, but your legs are weak. If you meet an assassin class, then you're done.'
Lewis also recalls Bern being able to fire an arrow right behind his head on a flat road feature.
'When it's dark, count on your hearing. Otherwise, you will die without knowing how. It's also good if you use too much mana and attributes to become temporarily blind.'
Lewis also recalled when the features were dark, Bern could even hold his neck as easily as he already knew where he was.
"Am I training with monsters?" Lewis murmured at the thought that all his mistakes could be detected by Bern as if he were a veteran archer.
Bern removed his arrow and looked at Lewis who was like he had just rolled in the mud.
"In conclusion, you must strengthen the strength of your feet and hearing." Bern said calmly justifying his hair while looking at the water.
But he felt strange when Bern from earlier confirmed his hair. As witches, they love to defend long hair. So it was no wonder Bern's hair had already reached his elbow.
"You keep on justifying your hair, are you starting to narcissize?" Lewis said jokingly.
Bern still remembers his hair only as long as his shoulders. Now it was longer than he expected.
"Do I have to cut it? Long hair is very disturbing. Ahhe... This sucks." Bern muttered while continuing to justify his hair.
Lewis looked at Bern strangely. If you want to cut, cut it. It was not that no witch had short hair.
"So, cut it." Reply Lewis.
Bern complained for a while and pulled a strand of his hair. His brown hair suddenly turned white.
"There is healing power in my hair. I am a saint and Althea is a holy spirit. The healing power when swallowing my hair was the same as receiving healing from a saint or stronger. If people find this, won't I be hunted?" Bern and Lewis were silent.
Lewis looked around to make sure no one was around.
"I've been putting up barriers since the beginning of our practice." Bern's words made Lewis relieved.
"What about your hair falling out?" Ask Lewis curious.
"My hair won't fall with the power of Althea." Bern reply succinctly.
Lewis nodded in understanding.
"I also feel like your hair is too long. What's more your front bangs that look like they'll cover your eyes." Lewis and Bern agreed.
Lewis looked at Bern a little strangely.
"Bern, you're pretty much talking today." Bern often uses the word simple. But he did talk a lot today.
"What's wrong with being more open? Most of us are in school, not a battlefield where ordinary speech can become information for the opponent." Bern's reply made Lewis silent again.
Bern looked at his hair in the mirror, and complained short.
"I'll cut it myself. I'm back now. You also rest." Bern waved his hand and left.
Lewis's a little scared to know how Bern's hair is tomorrow. But what can he do? It would be dangerous if his hair was known to others.
He meets Steven and Anton. Bern is now alone. He got his own room with Kleio's help.
Anton shares a room with Steven. Ailen and her room.
He recounted the incident, then Zion and Uen heard it too. And of course, Zion went to complain to Kleio who was talking about the Narda city case with Ailen.
They hope Bern's haircut is okay. They could not expect Alastair or Althea. They, as demons and holy spirits, do not lengthen hair! Alastair hair is the same as fur, which is only a certain level before it stops growing. Althea will not change because she is a spirit.
Blue dragons don't ask.

The next day, the 2nd grade begins, and all of Bern's friends await Bern's presence.
Bern who always comes early, does not look where the pound even though the class already wants to start.
And finally Bern walked in while yawning. He stopped when everyone looked at him.
"What's wrong?" Bern asked to see them all staring at him.
No, seeing Bern look that lazy, weird. Bern was so diligent that he would be the first one in the class.
Not to mention, he's someone who doesn't care about his appearance, until he looks cool. Well, Bern who used to be in debt so will not have time to take care of himself.
Bern's clothes were not only open enough to show a bit of his chest, his short arms looked like a delinquent, his muscles were also his black snake bracelet. Bern's ever-wearing black coat covers his head until it is obscurely connected to a chain of blue gems, making him look charming and charismatic.
Also his hair that slightly exceeds the shoulders, not straight as always, it was a little curly memamirikan beauty of Bern's face that used to look ordinary.
Her clothes were also seen to be made of silk and there were some jewels made of gems and gold.
"Why do you, look too fancy!?" Anton asked in surprise.
Bern was confused, and saw himself shocked as well.
'It looks like I'm too mamai and this happened. Let it be, just a day.' Think Bern. He used to work at a hair clipper shop as a part-time job, so he could cut his hair well. Her clothes, well, she's always in style when she does something when she's busy. That's habituation.
"My habits when momai. Just ignore it." Bern said as if nothing was strange.
They all couldn't believe it, there were people who could look really good when they were mamai.
"What makes you so sleepy?" Zion asked worriedly.
"Nothing, just lazy." Bern.
If a woman has a period every month, Bern has a time when she just wants to be lazy every month. Because he did not really know this world, he abandoned this nature. But now, he had gotten to know the world enough and the laziness of each month returned.
All his friends looked at him with strange and confused looks.
["Where it is now safe and peaceful, Bern says that she has time like a period woman, yet it is lazy."]
Alastair who followed Bern while not being seen whispering to them.
Everyone nodded in understanding. Maybe this is the way someone who diligently schedules their laziness.
Pat, Pat, Pat.
They heard someone applauding and looking towards the voice.
"Okay, is everyone here? Let's start the class. I'll pick the person you're going to fight. Each group has 12 people, if you can beat 3 of your friends, you can go to class."
The teacher looked at everyone sharply. Of course, the one who chose was the crown prince himself in order to help his friend quickly get to class.
..."Okay, let's start our class."...
