"Kai, Fouche, are you ready? Alright, Don!"
We started solving math problems all at once with everyone who wanted to be a civilian. This is a problem that even elementary school students can solve.
It's more difficult than before because it's for civil servant applicants, but even with 50 questions, it doesn't take much time.
Next are 50 questions about translating foreign language words into imperial language. However, the foreign language is English for some reason.
It seems that the letters are also based on Roman letters, and I had an advantage over everyone around me because I had some knowledge from school classes in my previous life.
However, learning the imperial language was difficult.
I'm used to spoken language since I was a baby because it's the same language used by everyone around me, but when it comes to written language, there are always characters that make me wonder, "What country's characters are these in?"
Imperial Japanese didn't have a verb that corresponded to the English word "have," and I really couldn't understand the translation.
I started to understand the rules and was finally able to write letters and sentences to a certain extent.
I personally think that he is a strange child who can speak a foreign language even though he is in the Empire.
...I feel like it's somewhat similar to Cyrillic letters.
I had researched the characters that marked turning points in history, so I kind of understand them.
It's impossible to pronounce or hear...
"Phew, it's finally over."
"Hurry!?"
"...ch"
"Kai is the best after all, I can't do it."
He receives trouble from his classmates who are taking classroom lessons. She is a nuisance whose jealousy is stronger than her envy.
It's true that I have learned things in the world before them, so I have an advantage, so this result is possible.
...As always, I feel apologetic.
If it was just envy, it might still make me feel better.
At least it's a relief that it hasn't turned into a grudge yet.
Bullying is not a problem at this school, but it is commonplace in this world for students to be hit with too many sticks.
The heroes of the past have taught us this.
That's why I don't want to be arrogant, and I want to overcome my weak areas rather than improving my grades in class.
After a while, it seems that Irene and Fouché finished in that order.
"It's my loss again."
"I will definitely win before I graduate from this school."
"Well, for now I'm the one who's winning, but the two of us might overtake us one day. I'll do my best to prevent that from happening."
After saying that, I started walking towards the teacher.
"If you're going to make an effort, then try to improve your grades in class as much as possible!"
"He's the one who made fun of people everywhere."
The usual jeers come from behind me, but I ignore them.
This is necessary in order to not further improve your classroom performance.
...stand in front of the sleeping teacher.
"Sensei, I finished the problems I had to solve today, so I would like to train in Taijutsu."
"..."
"Excuse me"
I turned my attention to the sleeping teacher and started walking toward the schoolyard.
The teacher is mostly just sleeping.
They are the ones who start moving when school ends, declare the end of classes, and finish their duties for the day.
I don't respect him, but I think he is a person who lives a peaceful life.
I don't go out on the battlefield. There is no need to work diligently for the king. A being who works hard just by sleeping.
It may not be good for children's education, but it won't harm them either.
When I started going to school, I thought for a moment what an ideal way of life, but if I were you, I would probably get bored of this way of life in a day.
It doesn't suit my nature to just lie still.
This is because I don't feel at ease unless I take some kind of action.
When I speculate that this teacher, a slightly tired man in his mid-thirties, has spent about half of his life like this, I am faced with the threat of having to make him a teacher. .
Gathering myself up and threateningly approaching him, I followed Haiku out into the schoolyard.
...Yes, in order to fight against Taijutsu, which I'm not good at.
One of the three soldiers stationed in this village acts as a teacher for the physical arts and horsemanship classes.
This person can be trusted!
This is because he stays with me all the time and watches how everyone is doing in class.
It's more comfortable than a classroom.
It makes me think that the personality of the person standing above is really important.
Above all, your motivation will change. His enthusiasm for devoting himself to class is on a whole other level.
...Well, let's do our best today too!
──※──※──※──
I'm dancing in the air.
My body leaves the ground and floats up for a few seconds.
At the moment of impact with the ground, a shock due to gravity runs through the body, and the pain sensation is hypersensitivity.
"…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
It's not just taijutsu training.
Taijutsu in this country is a competitive sport similar to Japan's judo club.
I was able to cleanly execute Haiku's splendid throwing technique, leave the ground, float in the air, and touch the ground again.
However, it was a reunion accompanied by intense pain...
"Kai is really weak. Even though he's smart, he's bad at martial arts.
"It's okay... I want to... train... even a little... with this..."
While gasping for breath, I managed to return a reply to Haiku.
"I don't know. If I study a lot from now on, I think I'll be able to become a good official."
"Maybe so...maybe. But...maybe not...maybe not."
"What does it mean?"
"It's just... if you can study... it's not enough... sometimes you have to... protect yourself."
"You want to be a diplomat. Then you'll have a strong officer as an escort, so you don't have to train yourself, right? Besides, I'll be strong enough to protect you and Irene, so don't worry."
Saying that, Haiku smiled and stretched out his hand toward me, who was lying on the ground.
To be honest... I still feel like I want to become one with the ground, but I reach out to the hand that was outstretched, trembling.
"Huh... That's right. At that time, like now... if you can force the enemy to fall to the ground... I would appreciate it."
"Ah, I promise. I'll hit you as hard as I can without hesitation, and I'll hit you very rarely."
He promised me that he would perform a beating action that was no longer learned in Taijutsu training.
Reassured that it would be okay for such a hike, I also looked at my face.break grabbed Haiku's hand.
