-Pop!
The sound of water drops? How can I hear it so clearly? Why can't I see anything? Why can't I move?
-Hey ... you ... don't remember?
Huh? Who? Why can't I open my mouth?
-Pop!
I can see it, but still can't move or speak.
The white light makes it possible to see clearly around me. I'm standing on the water right now, this place is like an ocean stretching to infinity.
-Hao!
Suddenly a great roar sounded, I knew very well that this roar, yes, it was Surtunbear's.
The moon is now dyed red, the seawater has also turned into blood.
What the hell is going on?
Ever since, two red eyes appeared in front of me and the moon started "bleeding" into it and formed that huge monster.
I have to run, have to move.
But in vain.
Why!? Why my legs can't move.
-Hao!
-Clush!
-Aaaa!
I gasped, and then stroked my body to make sure my body was still there.
-That's so good, it's just a nightmare.
-Cup Cup!
-Who!?
The knock on the door startled me and fell off the bed.
-Pain...
-Well ... it's me, Yumi. Well ... everyone ... do you want to have breakfast with us?
When and how to repay them for taking care of me like this? I sighed, opening the door of the room.
-Okay?
-Y ... um.
-So, thank you. Shall we go?
-Yes.
Our breakfast was simple, two pancakes per person, but Mika's idea of putting honey on it made it several times better. And of course, I don't forget what I do best, ask for information. And this time it's about what Kaito dragged me into, school life.
Their school, and soon there will probably be me in it, is called "North Surima". Its name is also easy to understand, located in the north of the kingdom, is one of the kingdom's four large schools that train students in magic and how to fight. The school has fifteen classes, divided into three school years and each school year will have five classes. Kaito and his group are first-year students, class 1-A.
In addition, on the opposite side of the school building is the dormitory for students, they will live there for all three years of school and usually only go home during holidays.
One thing that surprised me a lot was that Yumi, she was one year younger than everyone but because her intelligence was no less than her brother Rin's and her talent for quick magic study, she was able to study with them.
-Well, and let you know, our class gathered the best people of that first year.
Kaito patted his chest, looking very proud of this.
-Huh, saying that, he always stood up in class, but he also pretended.
-Huh!? At least I have the best stamina in class.
-Yeah that's right, so often handicapped people.
-What ... Shit! At least not as effeminate, soft as grandma. Going out to the battlefield will definitely curl the tail to run first.
-What ...? Who did you say is weak ... HELL THIS !?
-Hey, wait, Mika ... wait ... Aaaa !!
After being beaten up for a fight, Kaito was stuck with tape by Mika and stuck on his mouth. I myself feel sorry for him, but it is best not to interfere, because of that "granny".
-Huh?
As if reading my mind, Mika's glare made my hair stand up.
- Meet me outside, alone.
What's wrong, I wonder. Putting down the apple cask, I followed Rin into a small alley near the inn. He leaned against the wall and looked at me with cold eyes that made me feel scared.
-So ... what happened when you called me out?
-First, I want to thank you for saving me.
-That's dry ...
-However!
Interrupting my words, Rin's eyes are now filled with killing intent, like a predator looking at her prey, and the prey here is me.
-A person with a memory loss who could fight like that might be instinctive, but where did the kid of our age group get so much of his combat experience to become that instinct? Or maybe you're cheating on us and you don't really lose your memory. Either way, I just need to find out that I won't mind getting my hands dirty.
Those threatening words made me chill, even after saying that and Rin was gone, I still had a feeling of fear that I could not move my feet.
Just like that time.
After heaping loads into the car, we started our journey to the kingdom. It was early spring, so the weather was very warm, so we stopped at a field full of flowers. The sight of hundreds of vibrant flowers swaying in the wind captivated my soul. They gave me a strange feeling, a very familiar feeling that I could not remember, was it from my past?
And someone, I watched the same flower.
-Please stop there.
-Screeched!
Signaling for us to stop was a young man in armor and a long sword at his waist. He seems to be a guard at this huge 8m high gate.
-Oh, so it's Rin.
-Hi, Mr. Futara.
-What's your holiday, much harvest?
Upon hearing Futara's words, Kaito was eager and poked his head out.
-I guess I have to have hundreds of them.
-Who taught you so gossip?
-Hi, I'm right.
-Haha. You guys are really good.
Futara smiled awkwardly, maybe he also wanted to hunt monsters like adventurers.
-Hey Futara, come here for a second.
-Buy right here! So guys go, I have work, see you again.
Just like what I saw up there, not only was it vast, it was crowded with people. The scene of traders coming from all over here buying and selling with a horse-drawn cart filled with bags and boxes made me curious, wondering what it was.
-Here it is! Welcome to the kingdom's best bakery, Numeroun.
After Mika's "introduction", we entered this small bakery shop. The doorbell rang and ran out to be a woman about 1m70 tall, with a slender body with black hair tied neatly, she wore a plain apron outside her casual clothes. Her gentle smile makes me feel secure when I'm around.
-A, Mika, Kaito! Long time no see, you two are too big. And you guys are ...
-We are friends of Kaito and Mika.
Rin bowed low, his solemnity confused him.
-Well, you don't need to respect such a ritual, feel free to do so.
-Yes.
As expected, as Mika said, her shop is very crowded. From friendly locals to majestic adventurers, this place is just as lively as the street markets. Part of the reason there are so many people is because Uncle Yuuki once made cakes for the king to eat and was praised by the king.
After finishing the meal, we were invited by Uncle Yuuki to eat cakes as a dessert.
Delicious!
As if there was a miracle that made my tongue even more sensitive, the cream cake melting slowly in my mouth stimulated the taste of the sweetness of my tongue to make me feel like I could eat ten similar cakes. then it is satisfied.
-Goodbye, stop by when you have some free time.
-Yes!
-Kaito.
-What's it, Rin?
- His job, you have to be responsible, you have to talk to Leo.
Climb? If I'm not mistaken, last night I heard Mr. Gaido mention this name, maybe it was also their teacher. But maybe I should ask to better understand.
- Leo ... who is that?
-Well, that's the principal of the school, and above all ... Kaito's father.
This really made me gasp, and now I feel like I'm surrounded by "descendants".
-Did you have to say it, Mika?
-Hi, I like that.
-Well! If you want me to talk to that old man, everyone has to follow.
"North Surima Sorcery Academy", a large sign hung in front of the gate and there was a lion roar on top. The place was as big as a castle, behind it was a large grass field the size of a building and another building was sealed so that the students could practice magic freely without damaging the building. or outside.
Opening the door, we entered the principal's room, and I suddenly felt a little heavy and scared. Perhaps it was because the room's décor was so solemn, and because the windows were half-open, the room was just a little dim. He turned to us, because the room was too dark for me to see the face of the man across from me.
-He old man ...
-You do not have to say. I already know about that, Gaido told me. And I will accept it ...
Although all were surprised by Mr. Leo, I was happy that I had been accepted, but probably minus Rin.
-...with one condition.
-Heh !? What is it?
-A week...
Sir Leo points to me, which makes me creepy.
-... I give you a week to prepare for the test to see if it is worth being a student here.
-Test? Check what?
- By then you will know. You should also help that kid learn and practice fighting.
-...Yes.
-Now go.
Fortunately, there is an empty room. I dropped on the comfy bed at the student dormitory. Now that I have become a student, no, it will be decided in a week. I sighed, staring at the ceiling and when did I disappear.
