In the middle of the conversation, I coincidentally look at the clock.
The hand on the clock, it showed that meal time was to be over soon.
「Uah, after meal time, there’s class then recess….and the most troublesome, magic class.」
「But doesn’t an adventurer need magic as well? If this isn’t learned now, then you unexpectedly regret it.」
「I understand~a. Therefore I’ll do my best even though it’s troublesome.」
In truth, Shido is working hard.
Although the mouth isn’t good, head isn’t that good, the effort expended towards an aim is fantastic.
This will lead to a more successful future. Dreaming of acquiring good equipment, Shido’s mouth slightly warped.
「Shido-kun, do your best~.
Slava-kun, do you have anything you want to do your best in?
You want to become the strongest in Martial Arts right?」
While directing a bright smile towards Shido who was depressed, Seria set her eyes on me.
….If I say it honestly, recently 「Motivation」opportunities have been dropping.
「There have been some circumstances and now there are some travel restrictions.
….But, the thought of wanting to become strong, I don’t intend to be overtaken.」
Although there was no malice, I laughed at the painful words that were hard to listen to, and balled up my fist.
The fist that was balled up was strongly held and let out a creaking noise. Really, the thought of wanting to become strong, I won’t lose to anyone.
Now that 30 years have passed after the previous ‘I’ died, I wonder how the Martial Arts world has changed. (TLN: Murim, Jiang Hu, whatever you want to call it.)
After graduating from the Academy, it would be a good idea to take a look.
I realized my ultimate goal, looking at my packed fist, with my canines exposed. (TLN: Dafuq, Slava is a beastman??!?!)
The world is vast. Surely if a fool like Chester can enter, then I can as well. There’s no fun in it if all I do is think of it.
When the travel restrictions disappear──thinking about the bright future, I cannot help but break into a smile.
….But, this smile was easily wiped off my face.
「Ahaha~, is that so.
….Un. I’m sorry, Slava-kun.」
With an embarrassed face for some reason, Seria laughs.
──It was that moment.
「I got to hear Slava’s dream!」
The double door at the entrance of the classroom opens vigorously.
Excitedly pushing the doors open with both hands, it was an elf with long blue hair──it was Alma.
I’m sorry, were the words of Seria.
I understood it instantly.
「Iya~a, sensei forced it Slava. I didn’t think you thoughts about become strong.」
With a huge smile that encompassed her whole face, Alma compromises slowly.
──It was planned….!
Looking innocent, without changing expressions, Seria fully decieved me.
Lurking in the shadows of that question, I didn’t even dream that Alma laid hidden.
Certainly her aim of being an actor was valid. If one was at this age and could give such a performance, then one should go polish this ability.
….After speaking those words once, it’s very hard to retract them.
Getting an understanding over a long time, or using money or power──to take something back, there isn’t just sloppy methods.
Naturally, I was unable to use both methods. There is power, this is just like that──particularly Alma’s show wasn’t the good kind.
Alma who had compromised slowly walks to me, keeping me within her range.
