"The Undying Magic Swordsman”
After the match, it seemed like I was going to be forced into the infirmary, so I hid and fled.
Almost any.
If someone finds out I'm not hurt in the slightest, how can I explain it? I almost hurt myself.
I walked out through the attendee's special door, then walked in the deserted passageway.
It seems like the remaining 33 techniques should be saved for next year. I hope there is a chance to use it before then.
“U-, um ..”
“Nn?”
Suddenly, a student I didn't know called me.
She is a pretty girl with pink hair who is wearing a school uniform. I seem to have seen it before. Or maybe not? I don't know.
“Your wounds ... are you okay?”
“S-, it looks like ... nothing severe.. I guess?”.
I nonchalantly took the pose of pressing the wound on my chest.
“Thank God. Um, I saw your match.”
“Oh, So.”
“I don't watch games often, but the way you keep bouncing back, I think it's very cool.”
“Erm, it's cool ..?”
“Iya..”
He nodded with a slight blush.
She's a strange girl because she thinks the mob is ‘keren’. Well, there are indeed a lot of people in the audience, so I don't think it would be strange for one or two people to have such an oddity.
“So, um, this ..”
The girl timidly held out a small package.
“This is?”
“I bake cake... in return..”.
Is this like a reward for a good match?
“Thank you.”
Since he had taken pains to make it, so could he.
The girl smiled happily.
“J-, if you don't mind, can we start as friends?”
“Friends? Sure.”
Aside from certain exceptions, I usually live by the principle of not making girls shy.
“Oh Yes! Foster father, we became friends.”
Foster father?
The girl looked towards a middle-aged man with a back combed hairstyle who was walking towards us.
It seems like this skinny guy, I know him.
“Vice Principal Ruslan ..”
He is the vice principal of this academy, and also used to be the main fighter who ever won the championship at the ‘God of War’ Festival.
And if this girl calls him ‘adopted father’, then it must be him is…!
“Sherry Barnett ..!”
“Iya ?”
According to my own observations, he could be said to be the greatest character in the Scholar Academy.
Because I will most likely never fight directly with Scholar Academy students, so to be honest I don't think too much about them.
“So you are Sid Kagenou-kun.”
The Vice Principal stood beside Sherry.
“Iya sir.”
“Is your wound okay?”
“K-, because of some miracle ... Ohhhh, she must have held back against me?”
He rubbed his chin while contemplating.
“Fumu, it is true that Rose-kun will not be able to misregulate his strength. But you should still check yourself properly on the doctor.”
“Iya of course.”
‘Of course’ I won't do it.
Ruslan nodded, then placed his hand on Sherry's shoulder.
“This girl only knows doing research, and does not have many friends.”
“Dad lift!”
Ruslan laughed cheerfully before continuing.
“Now he can laugh as you can see, but he has also been through a lot. Please be a good friend to Sherry. This is my hope as a father.”
Ruslan's face was completely solemn, and Sherry smiled shyly next to him.
‘That's impossible because I'm a mob and he's not ..’ ... is not something I can say in a situation like this.
“...Yes sir.”
“Alright, I'll leave the rest to you two.”
After giving a pat on my shoulder, the Vice Principal left.
“Umm, thank you in advance.”
“Iya.”
“So what should we do?”
He tilted his head …
“Oh, right, doctor! You need to go to the doctor first! I'm sorry for forgetting, I was too excited.”
… Then smile with an apology.
“No, it's okay.”
“Eh, but ..?”
“Don't worry about doctor, I'll go later. I'll definitely go. So let's have tea together.”
“Umm, are you sure?”
“It's okay, it's okay.”
“Magic Swordsmen is amazing, not.”
“iya, right?”
This beauty that is far beyond the league of a mob who smiles brilliantly at me.
After that, we ate his tea and cake together and chatted lightly. I realized that she was actually a normal girl, but she had recently received a request from some knights to research an important artifact. Wow, that's so impressive, I told him. By the way, the cake is simple but quite delicious.
Well, he's far from what can be considered as ‘friends of mob’, but with the size of the academy, we might never meet again, so it's fine.
The next day, in order not to arouse suspicion, I requested a 5-day leave, under the pretext of recovering from my injuries.
When I returned to school, my classmates looked a little softer than before.
