So the first day of studying at Surima Academy has begun. On that morning, when I opened the door of my room, I saw a box and a letter on it. Outside the letter was a lion-shaped symbol and a line saying: "To Kazuto". This symbol looks very similar to the symbol placed at the academy gate so this is probably a letter from there. "This is our school's uniform, please wear it, unless you want to be kicked out." At the end of the letter was signed by Mr. Gaido. Then I opened the box and took out my uniform. It was a white shirt with the academy's symbol as a lion roaring with some other pattern on the right side of the chest, accompanied by a black pair of pants and a black jacket with a red border, the The jacket also has that symbol. After I finished wearing the uniform I left the room when I saw Kaito walking out of the next room, until now I realized it was his room, probably because yesterday I was too focused on cleaning the room. should not have noticed.
-Good morning! Are you going to the academy now? Want to come with me? - he greeted the moment he saw me
-Of course! By the way ..... are you going to wear that to the academy? - I pointed at Kaito's clothes, he didn't wear a uniform.
-Huh? What do you mean? - looking at my finger, he only looked down at his clothes and realized he had forgotten to wear his uniform - Oh die! You wait for me, I have to change in these clothes.- After saying that, Kaito rushed into the room and slammed the door.
-A! Kazuto! Good morning! - A voice suddenly came from behind me
I turned around and realized it was Mika and Yumi who was coming towards me.
-Hello 2 of you! Are you both going to the academy?
-Right! But why are you standing here?
-Well ...
- It's you two, good morning Yumi, good morning "granny" .- I didn't say anything before Kaito came out in full uniform, the greeting he told Mika made me have a bad feeling.
- Good morning! - Yumi greeted Kaito
-Hoh! Interesting greeting, Kaitooooooooo! {Cop} - and as I thought, Mika got angry and rushed to knock Kaito on the head with a thump.
-Pain! I just greeted her.
-What is that like? Do you like me to add one more !?
-Hicc! Well, forgive me.
-Huh! Because I didn't want to be late, I pardoned him. Then let's go! - Mika turned to tell me and Yumi
Later we were in the classroom. Our class is on the 2nd floor of the academy, which is class 1-A. After I entered I met Gaido-sensei and he introduced me to the whole class.
-This is Kazuto. From now on he will study in our class.
- Pleased to make your acquaintance. - I said and bowed to other people
-Kazuto? Don't you have a last name? A voice made the whole classroom stir
-I ...- Just like what he said, I don't even know what my last name is and it makes me confused whether to tell them about my own story.
--I was asked to keep Kazuto's last name, so you guys don't care what to do. - Gaido's teacher "saved" me at that time - now it's time for class. Kazuto! That's your place. Take your seat. "Mr. Gaido pointed to an empty seat at the end of the classroom near the window.
Above my seat is Kaito's place and my right side is Yumi. So the first lesson at Surima Academy started. As I thought, we mainly learned magic, the weirdest thing that I kept thinking about myself that day was that I could understand and write words even though I lost my memory, which It made me curious, "Do I really forget everything? Is there anything that I know without realizing? ..." Such questions kept repeating in my mind without any solution. Aside from that, that day I also got to know the other students in the class, all of them were very good and knowledgeable about magic, everyone was the complete opposite of me, who almost did not know. nothing about magic except the one that Kaito briefly said. That afternoon Gaido-sensei told us to go to the sealed training room that I had been told by Kaito the day before. Inside the place is almost empty, only a few chairs near the wall and a shelf containing wooden weapons.
-This is Miss Misuko from Class 2-C teacher, Miss Misuko will assist us in this practice session. Today we will practice about speed and balance.
- Nice to meet you all, "Miss Misuko said, her voice sounding soft
After saying that, Mr. Gaido motioned for Misuko to cast a spell on the floor in front of her and made it freeze.
-Because we have new students so the number is 21 now so we will divide into 7 teams, each team has 3 people. Two will make horses to carry the other to the finish line, the other will be given a stick to beat the opponent, the team will be fined to stay on the toilet for 1 week. . Note that magic is not allowed, is it clear?
-Real-all shout
Everyone then eagerly paired up with the players who were close to them. Mika is paired for Yumi, they were lacking one person at the time, so I was about to ask if I could join the team, but Kaito came to them and volunteered to participate even though Mika refused at first. As for Rin, she still leaned on the corner of the wall to read.
"What are you reading?" I approached Rin and asked him
"Is that you?" Rin glanced at me once and answered, "This is a book about demons and their strengths and weaknesses."
-So that's interesting book. But why don't you team up with someone?
-I'm not interested in this silly practice.
-But if you don't do it, you'll be punished. Since I haven't joined any teams yet, do you want to team up with me?
-Okay, but just because I don't want to be punished- Rin accepted my proposal reluctantly
-Hey 2-shortly after that we saw another person coming to us, his name is Sinki- can you join me, everyone team up already.
- Alright! - I answered - So we have enough people already.
After that all the teams entered the starting position, as for our team, Sinki and I made horses and Rin would be the stickman because he was the best spear user in the school.
-Now you guys are ready, I'll give you a list of teams. Team 1 consists of Haruma, Fuki and Shintaro. Team 2 consists of Maryu, Rei and Aiko. Team 3 consists of Okiha, Yoshiro and Takashi. Team 4 consists of Mio, Wataru and Habuto. Team 5 consists of Kaito, Mika and Yumi. Team 6 has Hidai, Fukumi and Hakiru. And finally, the 7th team consisted of Rin, Sinki and Kazuto. - Teacher Gaido said- Okay, listen to my orders and start. 3 ... 2 .... 1 .... comes from.
Then they all sprinted to the finish line. Although it is said to run, but with this ice rink, keeping balance is very difficult already, let alone 2 people carrying 1 person and running. Right from the start all teams are very difficult to keep balance, there are teams falling right from the start and we are no exception. As soon as I stepped on the ice floor, I slipped, causing the whole team to lose balance, causing Rin to knock the sinki on the head with our hands and our team fell down.
-Sauuu! - Sinki rubbed her forehead and said
-Sorry Sinki, I'm so clumsy- I said
-It's okay! Walking on an ice floor like this is easy to fall over. Let's go on.
Sinki's optimism makes me both feel relieved and more confident. Shortly thereafter all 3 of us stood up and continued onward. When we were able to walk a little bit, we met up with the No. 4 team, as soon as Rin hit the swinging club and hit Wataru on the back of the door, but he stood still, not giving Rin a chance to take a stance, Habuto immediately. angered the staff at Rin, but due to the last hit on Wataru, Habuto missed a beat so Rin still dodged. Using that chance, Rin turned the stick and hit Wataru's hand, causing him to slip and Habuto fell. After a while we were halfway through, a team was about to finish. But now the real challenge that Gaido Sensei has for us all just started.
-That's enough for the kids to play, the practice has just begun.
Immediately after that, Gaido-sensei chanted a spell to create a green magic circle right in front of the target, followed by strong winds coming from that circle. It makes all teams fall and pushed back to the starting line.
-It's hard to get there, Gaido-sensei!? - everyone shouted
-If you are pushed all the way to the starting line, you will be penalized. And now that I think about it, I will punish the entire garden of the dormitory.
-Hosh !!!
Hearing Gaido say that, all of them tried to hold on and stand up. Because of the wind, all the sticks were blown off the field, but that didn't matter. Every time we stood up and piggybacked the other person, Gaido-sensei added more magic spells to the right or to the left to give everyone a chance to stabilize the lineup, not to mention going to the finish line.
-Haizz! You will be too long, if you do not go forward, you will be punished, "said Mr. Gaido
Hearing that, everyone used all their strength to stand up and move forward, the piggybacked person bent without falling down. Although very tired and difficult, but everyone perseveres and tries. In the end, we all reached the finish line, everyone was exhausted and had to lie on the floor as soon as we reached the finish line, but everyone was happy to have completed the practice. Soon after, Gaido-sensei stopped his spell and Miss Misuko thawed the floor. Gaido-sensei then spoke up.
-You guys did well, the ending was very close. We will now announce the results to see which children will be punished. The first team to finish first was the 3rd team consisting of Okiha, Yoshiro and Takashi, the three of them did well, almost leaving the rest of the team behind.
It's true that from the beginning I noticed that they coordinated very smoothly, without any redundant movements so they finished quickly. Before that, I had heard that they were close friends since childhood, so they got along well in every situation.
-The remaining team is number 7 consisting of Sinki, Rin and Kazuto. After school is over, the three of you will have to clean the dormitory's garden, don't think about it hide and chase because we will watch it. Now, let's dismiss the class and go back to the classroom. - Gaido-sensei finished talking and I got frustrated because another exhausting cleanup was done.
-Haizz! - I sighed
"What's wrong?" Sinki asked me
-Nothing. I just feel a little tired.
-So, I thought you would be sad because you lost.
- Speaking of sadness, I have to mention Rin, he has been so upset with his face up till now.
-That's right, his family is a very prestigious family, his parents are also very famous former adventurer. Of course Rin won't want to disappoint them, but this is yet another failure.
-So? - When I heard from Sinki, I suddenly remembered that Yumi talked about being forced to go home for a year by the family.
-Right!
Since Gaido-sensei's announced the results up till now, Rin hasn't said a single word even when we cleaned the garden. And he stays like that until the end of the day.
