Chapter 8: Investigation
It seemed that classes were held at fairly consistent times for everyone, and this week followed the same schedule as before.
Although I haven’t been working much, I’ll make up for it by conducting research and submitting results to the academy. It would be a shame not to use the research lab I’ve been assigned. However, to return to Japan, I need to gain new knowledge and experiment, so that will have to wait for another opportunity.… Read more
“May I have this one?”
“It’s a small sword, but is that okay? Well, from what I can see of Shigeto-san, it doesn’t seem to be a problem.”
“Hmm. Does it look that way?”
“The children before also asked for swords, but watching them handle them, they didn’t seem experienced.”
“Ah… But their grip is suited for swords, so if they continue training…”
“That’s true.”
Well, if I’m accepted as an intellectual, I probably won’t need to fight, so a weapon might not be that important.… Read more
“Hm? Felter?”
“Yeah.”
As I read the name and tilted my head, Felter appeared, opening the door. While I blinked in surprise, Felter boldly walked past me and sat in the front row by the window.
“…This isn’t just about physical enhancement, you know?”
“I know.”
Felter snorted in response to my words. His attitude was brazen, but somewhat cute. Perhaps this was Felter’s true self, befitting his age.
I could feel the tension in my shoulders easing.… Read more
“In this world where the younger you are, the greater the benefits, you’re the youngest. Don’t sell yourself short.”
…Eventually, alone in the cafeteria, I stared at my finished dishes.
“sensei…”
I turned towards the voice to see Sakuragi peering in from the cafeteria entrance.
“Don’t be too discouraged. Everyone’s a bit on edge, suddenly finding themselves in this world.”
“…Don’t worry. I’m fine. You were training today too, right, Sakuragi?… Read more
Chapter 7: Bad Rumors?
A month had passed since I came to the academy.
Having attended most of the classes and observed various teachers’ methods, I was told it might be time for me to try teaching on my own.
“Would you prefer something practical? Or should we focus on magical concepts and knowledge?”
When I asked this, Glen pondered.
His face contorted as if he had tasted dried plums for the first time, and finally he replied.… Read more
“Yes. All transfers to this world are assigned a spirit guardian. Some natives of this world have guardians while others don’t, but having a guardian allows you to fully receive the blessings of that spirit, which is beneficial.”
I nodded. Somehow, I was starting to feel more confident.
“The people who came with you this time were assigned quite good guardians.”
“Are there good and bad spirits?”
“Yes. There’s a hierarchy of spirits called Spirit Rank.… Read more
Two meters remaining.
When I said this at about that distance, Felter bared his teeth and raised both hands, bringing them down towards my head.
I discarded my wooden sword to receive this attack.
It was an attack where Felter put his whole body and soul into simply striking down, without stance or martial technique. It must have tremendous power.
My magic reflected it.
“Physical Reflection Material Reflect”
I whispered softly as I caught Felter’s attack with both palms.… Read more
“…It’s starting.”
At that moment, Strauss informed us that the battle was about to begin.
As if on cue, both sides started chanting their magic. Eliza walked backwards while chanting, while Felter chanted quietly on the spot.
Realizing she couldn’t afford to lose in chanting speed, Eliza activated her magic first.
“Sand Wall!”
As Eliza shouted, a wall of sand formed between her and Felter.
She then began chanting a new spell.… Read more
“Are there many people like us who cross over to this world?”
“Well, it happens several times a year.”
“Th-That many? Then are there lots of Japanese people in the lower world?”
“No, the entrance from one world only connects to the same shrine. People from Japan come through the ‘Yodo Shrine,’ but I’ve heard it opened for the first time in over a decade.”
It seems there are still some Japanese people in this world.… Read more
Chapter 6: Felter-Cain
Shenley blinked, repeatedly confirming the scene before her eyes.
No, it wasn’t just Shenley.
The surrounding students, and even Eliza, who was supposed to be the teacher, froze in the middle of the lesson, staring blankly at a single point.
Meanwhile, Rocks, who was the center of everyone’s attention, just sat silently in his chair, looking straight ahead.
When class began and his name was called, he responded. However, there was a lack of energy about him.… Read more
