It's been a month since I first arrived in this world. A new universe that is entirely distinct from my old one, in which fantasy elements such as mana and magic become reality.
I can't deny that it's difficult. I mean, why shouldn't it be?
The nights had become my training section and the class time had become my sleeping section.
It's not like I could understand a word they said. Well, that had turned into a pretty good time for me to get some sleep, and I have no complaints. However, things have recently become more challenging. Unlike before Jane is taking most of the classes so it's taking quite a toll on my body.
I can't just practice my sword art in a wide-open space when everyone is able to watch. Now things are moving at a rapid pace so more and more students are visiting the training grounds regularly which is in contrast to the beginning.
If I wanted to practice my sword art in my room, well that turned out to be a very bad idea. I had completed the basic training of my sword art as of now I'm able to use a little amount of sword ki but it turns out bad when I practiced in the room. It left a huge bit of sword mark on the wall. Fortunately, the impact had no effect on the connected rooms, and I was able to avoid the situation.
The situation would have been significantly worse if there had been an incident, and I would not have been able to finance the repairs.
So, to prevent getting caught in anyone's gaze, I've been practicing late at night after everyone has retired to their rooms.
I'm not missing anything in class because I couldn't understand a single word they said. What can I do if I don't even have a basic grasp of them, despite the fact that they look to be advanced technology?
It felt as if I were hearing Latin for the first time. It may appear appealing, but you will struggle to comprehend most of it if you do not speak the language.
However, this is a huge concern because I'll be taking theoretical exams that I'll need to pass in order to advance to the second year.
The actual training, as well as the story's numerous twists and turns, will begin here. All of the major events will take place in the second year.
I'll miss out on critical events that will lay the foundation for the future if I don't do well.
Missing such an event means passing up the chance to use the university's top-of-the-line facilities as well as gain valuable experience while fighting the villains.
I really need to do something about this, or else it'll be really difficult.
"Guys, that brings us to the conclusion of the lesson. It is strongly suggested that you all read it. Training is important, but the theory is equally important. Don't lose sight of that. You will have a difficult time passing your tests if you do not study. I'm just letting you know."
Jane then began packing her possessions.
I couldn't help but admire her mature beauty as I stood there watching her walk away. I'm not sure what's making me feel this way; perhaps it's my age. I'm around 17-18 years old, but the person inside me is around 33 years old. Perhaps this is why I gravitate toward older women.
I'm reminded of the dark elf I met a few days ago when I see her stroll. She, too, has a fantastic physique. There are a lot of gorgeous women in the world.
I'll never be able to match their beauty, therefore there's no harm in admiring them.
"..."
'Fuck'
She abruptly swung her head around and met my line of sight as I was admiring her. This is the exact opposite of what you wanted to happen.
My body grew drowsy all of a sudden. Perhaps it's fear.
-BANG!
It wasn't until the door shut behind me that I was able to break free from that stare.
'Come on, man,' I said. Is it wrong to admire beauty? If you're attractive, all eyes will naturally be drawn to you.'
Sigh. This isn't the first time I've done something like this. Let's act as if nothing has happened.
"Take a look at this guy who got caught staring at Professor Jane with his lustful eyes."
"Haha, how pathetic."
"I don't like how these low-class maggots think they are worthy of sitting in the same class with us. Tsk."
Whoa, What the hell is going on here?
Is it possible that those ominous curses were aimed at me or someone else?
I turned around to see if they were hurling those words at someone else, but no one was there behind me.
"You fucker, I'm talking to you."
Huh?
"Me?"
"Ya, you. You fucker."
What exactly is going on? Why are they suddenly focusing their attention on me?
Normally, they would make a caustic remark and then walk away, but this time it felt as though they were purposely approaching me more aggressively.
So, are these Jane Doherty's fan club members?
She is a stunning woman, therefore she will have a devoted following. They might have been offended when I stared at Jane.
Okay, just keep quiet and walk away. We can't dispute with fans since that will just exacerbate the situation.
I ignored them and began packing my belongings.
I gathered my belongings and prepared to depart.
But I was stopped by a member of that group.
"You bitch who told you that you can leave from here."
Huh? This is definitely out of place. I was walking away silently without saying anything, but they appeared to be trying to provoke me into a fight.
"Is it possible that you're deaf? You jerk, say something."
"You have no right to gaze at the professor with your ugly eyes because you are from a lower background. We need to teach this scumbag a lesson."
There's no reason to consider it. Without a doubt, they are attempting to pick a fight with me on purpose. Why was it the only thing I needed to know? They couldn't have acted this way just because I looked at Jane. There's certainly something there. Someone must be pulling the strings.
So, I just remained silent. I'm just used to howlings like these. It will be noisy if you say anything, so be calm and they will bark all they want and leave.
So I remained silent.
"What? I'm not sure what got into your mouth. Say something, you fucker."
"Perhaps he became terrified and unable to speak, hehe..."
"Maybe that's true, haha. What a knucklehead."
So, whatever you want to say, just say it. I'm sorry, but I don't have the time.
So I waited for a while, hoping that they would be satisfied.
After that, I packed my belongings and was about to depart when they stopped me again.
I was particularly irritated this time. They were simply squandering my time. In the meantime, I would have gotten a good slumber.
"This scumbag. What kind of person do you believe you are, ha? Did we tell you to get out of here?"
"Where do think you are going while ignoring us?"
"This guy is just begging to be thrashed."
Now I'm reaching the end of my patience. I've made it this far, but it's all starting to fade away.
"What's up with that look, you bitch? Do you want to get into a fight?"
Relax and take it easy. Relax and take it easy. There's no way these people are pulling the strings in this fashion, but there is someone behind it.
I didn't offend anyone in this class, so I'm not sure who has such hatred against me.
Wait,
Trina Mason.
No, she would never do something like that. This is something she despises.
Sigh.
"I'm not sure why you're all ganging up on me, but I've already wasted too much time here. So get moving."
That's what I said as I walked away.
"You bastard, who do you think you are to order us?"
"All he wants is to get thrashed."
Hmm. I really wanted to thrash them, but that would draw unwelcome attention to myself, so I just sat in my seat and rested my head on the bench. Perhaps I'll just sleep here.
"You?"
Maybe he's the group's leader, and he's trembling with rage. Even if he is enraged, there is nothing he can do about it because fighting is forbidden. If this rule is broken, the student may be expelled from the university.
So, even if they were enraged, they wouldn't be able to do anything here.
So, as it had become my bed in recent days, I rested pleasantly on the bench.
They became enraged when they saw me ignore them.
"How dare such a wretched person have such audacity?"
"You're going to pay for this, you jerk."
'I've seen so many of these kids, just get moving already,'
While resting on the bench, I was smirking at them.
"Y-You..?"
A stern voice interrupted them just as he was about to erupt.
"I believe we've gone far enough. Let's leave it at that. So, how about it?"
The group came to a standstill in front of me and had a look around.
"Who is that fuc...ah, T-Thomas?"
Right behind them, Thomas Gray was standing. Among the first years in the Horizon, ranked top.
It's no surprise that they began to shudder as they stared at him.
That is practically how the world works. Respect will always follow you if you are strong.
Their hearts race when they see Thomas Gray standing there.
'Cowards'
While glancing at them, I gave a brief grin.
"Y-You.."
"How about we just leave it here?"
Then they simply walked away, nodding their heads and not expressing any concerns.
I approached him after they had left and thanked him.
"Thank you for your assistance."
I expressed my gratitude to Thomas Gray. This is my very first encounter with the MC. Not bad, ha.
He nodded his head in acknowledgment.
After that, I dashed out of the classroom.
