Around one week had passed.
School life is monotonous.
My day goes as follows:
When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is start my daily training regimen.
In accordance with this one manga I had read in my former life, a certain man did 100 push-ups, sit-ups, squats and then ran 10 kilometers a day and by sacrificing his hair, he achieved something like the world's strongest power. [1]
I came back to my room, and did a little bit of magic training as well.
Though it had been a while, I resumed creating figurines.
Because Zanoba wouldn't stop with the [Please teach me Shishou!], I began my own difficult rehabilitation.
However I am unable to progress much here.
After a short while, Zanoba comes and invites me to go eat breakfast.
The order in which students of the dormitory eat is decided by what year of schooling they are in and their social position.
That's more or less how things went.
It's a rather hectic morning.
After breakfast ends, I part from Zanoba, and head towards the library.
Doing my investigation on Metastasis has recently become interesting.
When the noon bell rings, I rendezvous with Zanoba and we eat lunch together.
He is also doing his best. The parts of his lessons he doesn't understand from class, I inquire about.
If it's something I understand, I try and explain it to the best of my ability.
It seems Zanoba only takes classes involving earth magic.
Well, I think it's fine for him to do what he likes.
By the way, I've been eating meals with Zanoba almost entirely outside.
Occasionally, I get a strange look, but no one seems to have a problem with it.
Once in a while Elinalise pops in, Zanoba doesn't ever seem to catch her considering eye, then she just suddenly leaves for somewhere else.
Her hangout is roughly the first and second floors of the dining hall.
The reason being that she cannot bring a boy inside the girl's dormitory, when the reason for why is made clear, they instead go "parking"[2] late at night off the side of the road in the neighborhood.
Busy by day, busy by night, what a tough person.
Incidentally, the dining hall has many different cuisines that satisfy my palate.
Usually the meal will be made with the Karaage-style Nanahoshi Grilling method, or Curry Soup, which is another different but good imitation of the Curry I once knew.
While it hasn't made it to being one of my favorite foods, I am satisfied enough just because something similar to it came out.
In the afternoon, I head for a class in the Main school building.
The lessons I learn are the foundations of divine-attack and barrier magic.
Divine-attack magic's principles are said to be particularly effective for dealing with things like Ghost-like entities or monsters that are gaseous in nature.
It's probably closest in theory to [Disturb Magic].
That's the image I have now of just throwing magic out like that.
However, just throwing magic power out will not give damage, there is some special action needed, but I don't understand what it is.
If I was perhaps a Master Exorcist[3] in my previous life, I might have some understanding in this area.
But, since I'm just learning the theories behind it, I am going to be memorizing each chant one by one.
It seems that minor changes need to be done to the technique per-enemy basis, depending on the characteristics or type.
If I wanted to excel in divine-attack magic, it's important that I’ll be able to assess my opponent.
Not a big deal since I wasn't planning to limit myself to divine-attack magic anyway.
Incidentally, it seems that a first-class swordsman can even strike down a ghost...
