"My back, it hurts!" these are the first words I said this morning.
Last night I slept outside using a tree trunk as a backrest for my body. It is indeed better than sleeping on the ground, but still makes my back stiff and back pain. This, this reminds me of the early days of being the Admin of Wibu All Nusantara when I sat too long sitting in front of a computer desk. It was very painful for my back.
*chring!*
Using Shukufuku Maho, I healed myself with the added effect of yellowish light emitting from my body. It felt very comfortable and my back pain subsided. It is not in vain to redeem this magic as a recovery technique.
Alright. Maybe it was time for me to observe what they were doing inside the academy. Just go ahead, let's go there!
By the way, I got something out of this translucent function. I can choose what I want to see and touch what I want to touch. But when I touch, I can't affect it too much, like not being able to push a door or write something using a pen. When I enter participant mode and engage in the mission, then return to observer mode, the object I touch at that time will be transparent in observer mode and will return when I am in participant mode.

Keith was inside the academy and saw many things inside there. This time is an hour of rest with many schoolgirls going to the cafeteria or so for lunch. The mission was relatively peaceful. There are no big problems and they do not have to rush what they do. After all, being too hasty would only lead to a map.
'Miko and Rikka were in the cafeteria with several other noble daughters. I'm glad they can be friends. But, where is Kino?'
Looking for Kino, Keith went to one room after another that was there. Long enough to find the location of Kino from the many rooms in there. But Keith knew that he did not need to go to all the rooms there and only needed to go to a place where the previous group members had visited, including the principal room, the classroom, and the classroom, and their dormitories.
Keith finally found Kino in the principal's room. He is negotiating with Greyworth to discuss more about the previous agreement, which was about the blueprints of Kino's weapons.
"You work fast too, yeah. I'm happy with the work you're doing. Some earth spirit or mineral users might be able to make things similar to this." Greyworth smiled slightly as she received three blueprints and a book.
The blueprint contains the procedure for making a rifle, while the book is about the procedure for making gunpowder properly and correctly. It was a book that Keith had bought from inside the mission store earlier. It was good that the blueprint was accepted so that the three of them were not expelled out of the academy.
"Either. I'm also happy to work with you" replied Kino slightly smiling. "Can I go?"
"Of course, you can leave after answering a few questions from me." Greyworth's smile looks dangerous and annoying when you say it.
Kino can sense danger when Greyworth says something about it. He still kept his face that had a small smile as a sign of courtesy and hospitality, but in his heart was quite resentful of Greyworth even more so when the questions might have been annoying.
Greyworth's countenance turned serious as she said, "Your friend has caused a lot of commotion due to having three spirit contracts. Tell me about everything you know about my friend."
"Even if you tell me to open my mouth about him, there's not much I know about him. I was a wanderer before and had only met him a few days ago before we went to this academy to increase our fighting prowess in the use of spirits. There's nothing I can tell you about him" replied Kino.
"So, it's a pity that I can't know its origin. I also didn't want to put too much pressure on him and make him leave. Making him contract with three spirits at once is not very common in here." Greyworth closed her eyes for a while before opening her eyes again, and asked, "Then I wonder, are you a man?"
Although Kino was a female, Kino's body did indeed look like a brat. Not to mention her completely un-feminine clothes added to the impression that she was a brat. It is not strange that some of them consider Kino as a boy.
"No, I'm a girl."
Kino himself was not too concerned about himself being considered a boy. One of the things in question, is if he can not take a bath while in a country in his wandering. It seems that she still has a feminine side after all.
"Oh, sorry to ask that. You can go. Also if you want to, you can tell Ellis to give you after the crossroad just like the others."
"Thank you." With those words, Kino turned around and found Keith standing behind him. Regardless of this person, Kino headed straight for the door and exited.

Phew, it's a good thing this negotiation is going well. The three of them could go to school and I continued to relax. If they fail they will not get a penalty or penalty, but it will hurt me for not earning an income and instead become a loss. Well, it doesn't matter either because the rest of the missions can be completed without having to be inside the academy. It's just that it will be harder to do when it's not within the scope of this academy
Kino suddenly stopped, and asked, "So, what's up to you?"
We are currently walking in the hallways of the academy without any other students here. I can't believe he dared to tell me in a public place. I mean, if anyone heard this they'd assume that Kino was talking to himself.
"There's nothing important. I just want to look at your progress in carrying out the mission. It seems, there is nothing for me to worry about what you are doing," I replied with a friendly smile.
"Hmm. like that, yeah." He looks flat now. "I don't care about what you're doing either, but I'm still curious. Do you have a job in this world?"
"...."
"My main job as a supervisor is to watch over you on missions. The rest, I'm unemployed and practicing Ki's control techniques."
Kino's eyes were slightly excited with a difference that could barely be seen. "Teach me."
"By pleasure."
