Ryuu Kusari No Orishin No Naka No Kokoro
Chapter 1 Part 3

Nozomu went to school as usual.

Upon entering the classroom, a student who had already come saw him, but instantly gave him a stupid look. Slander was written on his desk, and the surroundings giggled as Nozomu cleaned them up.

This school, whose basic policy is a thorough meritocracy, distinguishes winners and losers very clearly. Students in this class, grade 10, are undoubtedly the last and are treated as the lowest in the class. Such losers usually find someone even weaker than themselves and throw their dissatisfaction at him.

She was treated as a tumor in this class and they ignored her completely as she spoke to them. The only person who spoke to her was Anri Sensei, who was the teacher in charge, or Mars, who was a troubled child. However, Mars only thought of harassing him thoroughly.

"That's right ~ That woman has a nice body ……"

The trio of Mars and his two friends came over while talking about a stupid story. When Mars noticed me, he came smiling. Mars is tall and has a good physique.

His face was not bad, but his silly expression ruined everything.

"Hey, Drop Out. Did you come to school to do something useless? I think it's better to clean the toilet because it's still good for us."

"Hey Mars, stop it. Nobody's gonna use the toilet this guy cleaned."

"Well, what about our practice doll? This will help you test your weapon."

Nozomu didn't say anything. It was the usual mockery, the usual mockery, and the beginning of ordinary everyday life.

Today is magic class in the morning. The instructor is Norn-sensei, a health doctor.

"As you know, magic is a technology that brings out energy (Qi) in the body by using mental powers and techniques to manifest various phenomena, such as, the energy that would be expended was not only from his own body but also from the outside world, that is, the energy in the atmosphere.

When using large-scale magic, you almost always use magic elements from the outside world. This is called ceremonial magic, and it comes from Shinto rituals, praying to spirits and gods. Many people pray the same way, which is also the basis of modern singing. That is ………… "

He continued the lesson without wasting any time. Anri-sensei's class has a relaxed atmosphere due to its nature, but Norn-sensei's class has a calm and tense atmosphere.

I recorded what the teacher said. The written test was a lifesaver for me, who couldn't get practical skill points as expected due to the Emphasis of Ability. In the practical skills-oriented end-of-year exams at the end of the first year, I managed to advance because the written exams were added to the additional exams. The written test would be added to the practice test, so it would be an additional blow to ordinary students, but it was the last line for me.

With the bells ringing at the end of the lesson, class time is over and practice time begins.

The entire class moved to the training ground with a call from Norn-sensei.

Arriving at the training ground and seeing everyone using their own magic,

I had just been absorbed in my beginner magic training, which only I could do, just feel the magical power within me and manipulate it.

The humans on this continent have considerable magic power, but my magic power is very low. It wasn't too low at first, but after the manifestation of my Suppression Ability, even beginner magic couldn't be used.

That's why I'm just repeating my beginner training and improving my control.

Seeing that, the students around me started laughing again. Mars was influenced by the students, came up to me and started cursing at me.

"What is this, still practicing first year lessons? Very low.I think there's a baby walker here. Haha."

I ignored the taunts and immersed myself in the training. First of all, I can't hear their voice at the moment.

If you concentrate on training, you will not be able to look around you.

This was especially noticeable during basic training and in this condition when I met Shish.

“............ Hey, what are you ignoring?”

Maybe he's frustrated because I'm not listening, the Martian atmosphere suddenly becomes dangerous.

Originally he was a person with a strong desire to show his strength.

He probably thought he was being teased by me, the lowest. Still, I can't hear it. I am really trapped in my own world.

Suddenly, I was shocked from the side and fascinated. Mars blew me with wind magic. The magic that is released is a type of "air burst" style magic that blows away the opponent with shock waves as the suppressed wind is released.

Not yet finished, Mars continues to try to unleash magic. But before that, Norn Sensei's magic penetrated Mars' feet.

"Enough, more than this, I will take the necessary actions as a teacher."

The magic that was released was "Air Land". Although this was beginner wind magic, its casting speed was faster than Mars, and its accuracy and power were comparable to a single intermediate magic. It's clear that the air arrows are better than the Martian air explosions.

"Oh I understand."

Mars left as if throwing a rope, and the surrounding disciples went back to training.

"Are you okay"

Norn Sensei called me.

"No problem"

I immediately replied.I have always been fascinated by Shisho, so my defense has improved greatly. This is one of my special skills.

Continue the training immediately. This is a common thing. That's why,

"A guy like that can be troublesome. Anri is worried about you too. Come and talk to me whenever you want."

I could not accept those words directly and could only give an unclear answer.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Nozomu came to a part-time job in the commercial district today after receiving a job from the Adventurer Guild. Adventurer Guilds had jobs in various cities, and this city was no exception. If his rank was high, he could conditionally subdue weak monsters, but his rank was low, so he could only accept the task. His job was to carry simple luggage. Since a lot of cargo arrives in the commercial area of each country, it is better to have as many carriers as possible.

The moment he arrived at the item gathering place, He greeted his Boss and received the item he had to carry. Place the received cargo on the train and take it to the destination with his friend.

Today's cargo is a hardware store in the commercial district and a doctor in the craftsman district. It seemed that they were buying items for use in the store in bulk, and there were many items, but since there was only a small amount of purpose, it would end early.

"By the way, Nozomu. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Nozomu was instinctively caught up in the answers to his sudden questions and contents.

"Well. What happened all of a sudden?"

The other party's eye color changed whether he was confident in the situation.

"No, somehow. I wonder if anyone likes you, whether he is there or not. Tell me."

My colleague was smart and not bad, but instead, she ignored the feelings of others, and she was constantly asking this kind of story.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Nozomu POV

Every time I hear the word "beloved", the shadow passes and it becomes painful.

I was often asked about this sort of thing, but no one questioned my circumstances further.

"Na naa naa, tell me if it's a pretty woman or a cute girl."

"………… "

Nozomu immediately advanced his horse. My partner kept asking but I ignored him. On the surface, she forgave her friend who asked questions throughout her work, but her expression was clearly tense.

After I finished, I received a salary from the Boss and went straight home. Because my parents are ordinary farmers, so I can't expect money from my parents, so this is very necessary for my life.

The tuition fees in Solminati Academy are reasonable compared to the size of the school, thanks to the support of each country. Securing the human resources lost in the great invasion 10 years ago is a matter of life and death in every country, and it can be seen that every country expects and supports this school.

How good human resources can be secured in this school will be a major factor in determining the superiority and inferiority of each nation in the future.

Therefore, each country is eager to attract superior human resources to their respective countries and come to scouts with various favorable conditions.

Especially in my class, there were so many outstanding students that I had never seen before. Five students had set foot in A rank. A rank is a rank that top-tier adventurers and guard knights have, and if you think that students in their late teens have reached this rank, you can understand their superiority.

On the way home, people are known to walk from the front. Ken Notis and Lisa Hounds. My ex-boyfriend and my childhood friend. The two are probably dating. Ken laughs happily, and I can understand that Lisa looks very happy.

When Ken looked at me and noticed me, he raised his hand. Lisa also noticed me, but she frowned and looked grim.

"Hi Nozomu, this is weird."

Ken spoke openly. I can't see his disgusted expression. Ken talked to me openly even after I broke up with Lisa. It's hard to see her dating Lisa, but I'm a little relieved that she treated me the way she used to.

"Oh, right. How long has it been?"

"It's been about 3 months. Don't have a good time."

"You know how else. Unlike me, there's a lot of work to be done right."

"Yes, I asked Jihad Sensei to train earlier, and I had a fever."

Ken spoke with a bitter smile.

If you are a first-grader, high school expectations, and you will be treated accordingly. In addition, Ken is a student who has achieved A rank, a rare thing in school. Therefore, He could get personal guidance from famous continental figures.

While I was talking to Ken, Lisa who was next to him interrupted the conversation.

"Ken, let's go"

When he said so, he grabbed Ken's hand and started walking. He didn't want to see my face, he didn't even try.

"Aah"

I tried to stop him, but his face obviously rejected me.

Anyway, I couldn't tell her anything, which pulled Ken's hand and left, and I was just scared.

When I got home, my heart was not calm. Why did he start rejecting me.

I still don't know the reason, and my feelings hang.

It's usually not that much, but when I found Lisa at school, I wanted to ask her about her feelings. As I thought, I still could not escape my self-awareness.

I remember when he dumped me. He looked at me with cold eyes. He turned his back, saying "goodbye". He went in front of me. Without telling me why.

From that moment on, my feelings stopped.
