Everything felt fresh living at the dormitory.
First, my roommate was fresh.
Melissa-sempai was from the Magic Race.
My grandmother said that the Magic Race were evil.
I was taught that the Magic Race were existences that should be rejected, and an evil that must be destroyed.
If I had not met Ruijerd-san, I would definitely have thought so up to now.
That's why, when I met Melissa-sempai, I understood that I should have a courteous attitude towards her.
To me who was able to greet her properly, Melissa-sempai welcomed me.
She warmly received me, who had entered in the middle of the term, and helped me with many things.
Things like how to eat our meals, how to use the restrooms, what the dorm rules were.
Everything was taught by Melissa-sempai.
The Senpai from the vigilante corps said that everybody living in the dorm was family and that we should all get along.
She was a person from a scary looking race, but had a strong sense of responsibility.
My heart leapt in joy at this lifestyle I will have from now on.
While it's a pain to have to show my face at my brother's house every ten days,
My brother wasn't going to ask in detail about my school life, so I felt relieved.
My life at the dorm began.
First, the classes were difficult.
I think it was because the way of teaching was different than the school in Milis.
While it may have been different if I learnt things from the beginning, since I came in the middle, there were many things that I didn't understand.
Although there were religious classes in Milis, Ranoa had none, and instead it had magic classes.
Since this class also wasn't from the beginning, I was not very good at it.
If my grades were bad, I would perhaps be forced to move back into the house.
Thinking that, I studied even harder to stay in the dorms.
For parts that I was at a loss with and couldn't understand, Melissa-senpai kindly taught me.
Then for the first time I began to understand the parts of the classes that I had missed.
Surely my little sister would have understood immediately.
I was fed up with my lack of power of comprehension.
The school grounds were big as well, and I got lost many times.
Especially for physical and magical classes that the Milis schools don't have, I was perplexed as to where the classrooms were.
Each time a person from class would come search for me, or a senpai or teacher I don't know will assist me.
I also saw my brother once.
At that time, being seen with my brother who was the greatest person at the school, I felt ashamed.
My brother was feared in the school.
It seemed he would take along six of his henchmen and do whatever he liked.
Among them were two people that acted pridefully in the dorms.
Even Melissa-senpai warned me that I was better off not to defy them.
It seems that my brother used those two to gather panties from cute girls.
Does my brother's wife know about this?
She may not know.
Although I don't know what he planned on doing with those panties he gathered, even though my father was suffering at this time, my brother was playing around like this.
I was filled with hatred.
I disdained him.
However, even though he does these things, despite my expectations, my brother's reputation was good.
He isn't violent towards regular students, and even though he did what he liked, it seems he did not make anybody unhappy.
On the contrary, it seems he told the school's delinquents not to bully the weak.
The scary child in my class was talking proudly about my brother.
He was better at magic than anybody, and his teaching methods were great.
And it seems that he taught someone much smaller than me as well.
My classmates, Melissa-senpai, even my teacher.
They all said to become like my brother.
That I should aim to become like him.
I didn't understand what they were thinking.
To become like my brother that I feared, hated, and scorned.
I didn't want to be like him.
But, more than that, I was frustrated.
My brother, like my little sister, was above me in everything.
He was an existence that I could not hope to reach no matter how much effort I put in.
Even though I hated him.
Even though I disdained him.
But,I was an existence that was lower than even him.
