It has been three days since I, Francesca Barton, returned to the Albana Magic Academy.
My journey with Renji Yamada-sama. He taught me the basics of journeying and even helped me with completing my task.
The journey had only lasted 2 weeks but these 2 weeks were definitely the most shocking time of my life.
Hero. One of the 13 summoned from another world to kill the Demon God. The God Slayers.
I still can’t believe how social, and easy to talk to he was.
I always thought that he’d be more formal and strict type of person.
And also, he was very strong. Let alone Goblins, he wasn’t afraid of even more than 10 Orcs. I still remember his back as he faced them bravely.
The moment when Renji-sama killed the Orc that could use magic, he really felt like a hero from the fairy tales.
Black Flames that seemed like they could burn up even the soul. I, who had been captured by the Orc. And Renji-sama stood in the way of those flames to protect me.
In his hands was the jade green Divine sword of the Goddess, [Ermenhilde]. He had obliterated that magic with simply the magical energy being released from him.
I had travelled with that Renji-sama and had completed my test.
……..and there was a slight change in my school life.
“Good morning.”
Giving a greeting, I entered the classroom.
Ancient and honourable school is good and all but the old-fashioned sliding door really makes a loud sound on being opened.
Due to that, the classmates talking in loud voices suddenly focused towards me.
“Go, good morning……”
Getting a bit surprised, I gave a greeting once again.
My cramped voice…….didn’t really come out properly. My heartbeat grew faster a bit I think.
While I wondered if someone would say something, everyone’s gazes soon turned away from me.
Breathing a sigh in relief, I entered the classroom.
Some of my close classmates greeted me and I greeted them back.
“Say, Francesca-san.”
“What is it?”
As I sat on my seat, one of my close classmates called to me.
Yesterday I hadn’t been able to answer properly due to muscular pains but I have calmed down a bit today.
Some parts of my body still hurt here and there but I answered with a smile.
“That…..the test this time, is it true that you took it along with Yamada-sama?”
“Eh, ah, yes.”
The change in the gazes of my classmates.
That change was because of the fact that I had travelled with Renji Yamada-sama, one of Heroes.
