Episode 55. Link (1)
“Ha!”
The smell of sweat was strong and the spirit was loud.
This is the academy’s proud physical training center.
This is a place where students receive physical and sword training, as well as personal instruction from guardian knights.
As it is an academy that places importance on physical and mental training, the facilities for students’ personal training were of the highest quality.
Of course, I didn’t come to train.
I came to train our foolish squire, who is not only outstanding, but also foolish.
“Huh… … .”
Brian, who had completed the target count, sprawled out on the floor.
“All done, master!”
“Rest for 30 seconds and then do the next exercise.”
“… … .”
He looked like he wanted me to kill him, but he couldn’t seem to bring himself to say anything.
Brian, who had decided to cry and eat mustard, immediately started doing push-ups.
“Is it difficult?”
“Yeah, right… … Oh, no, it’s okay!”
The sincerity leaked out of the guy’s mouth for a moment.
“Later, it will all become your bones and flesh. If you’re having a hard time, tell me right now. “I said you’d like me to run an errand for snacks.”
“Oh, no, master! “I will do my best to give you this opportunity!”
Brian resumed training with great enthusiasm.
No matter what you start with, the foundation is always important.
Because physical strength is the most basic means of performing all physical activities,
Only when you have this can you train the next step, whether it be swordsmanship or martial arts.
Well, it looks like Belias didn’t post an official article in the form of an official article.
I don’t know how they raised the livestock in their fiefdom, but they had a certain amount of physical strength.
In fact, simple physical training can be done even in the dormitory.
As someone who doesn’t want to be in crowded places, it’s also more convenient.
So there is only one reason why I brought Brian here.
To let you see.
Direct training is good, but watching others practice is also very helpful.
If you look everywhere, you can often see not only students, but also their guardian knights and knights within the academy training.
Of course, it won’t be of any help to me, but it will be a very good textbook for Brian.
“Ugh, ahhh, ugh!”
Whether he knew how I felt or not, Brian was making unidentifiable moans, showing his white teeth along with his veins.
“draft… … ?”
Meanwhile, I turned my head when I heard a familiar voice calling me.
Princess Arin, smiling quite happily, was approaching me.
“You can see everything from here? “Are you here to train with the Guardian Knight?”
“Oh, yes, that’s right.”
I’m here to help train Brian.
“Is the princess also here to train?”
“huh! I come to training in physical strength and swordsmanship with Resimus every weekend. “I’m learning a lot from Resimus!”
Behind the princess were five guardian knights, including Resimus.
Somehow it feels like there are more of them than usual.
“There are more knights?”
“hmm? Ah, well… … . “I think I should be careful because of the recent incident.”
Resimus, who was behind him, flinched at the mention of a recent incident.
Nothing special.
Academy freshman Barrett Louis Mill was found in front of the healing center early in the morning.
The bone in one of his ankles was broken, and his entire body suffered serious internal injuries, making it a hopeless result that even proper mana generation would be difficult in the future.
Even though I kept asking who the culprit was, he rarely opened his mouth… … .
Well, it’s not that I didn’t do it exactly, but I probably didn’t do it.
Even if it’s not a compliment, I think he’s doing a good job.
If you keep your mouth shut like that, at least you won’t have any more conflicts with me.
“Who on earth was it? They said he wasn’t a very good person, but to mess with the restraint of a high-ranking noble family within the academy… … .”
That’s right.
I wonder what kind of evil friend is like that, I want to see his face.
Is it because of my mood that my ears feel itchy for no reason?
“Anyway, Sian, be careful too. “The thing about people is that they don’t know what’s going on.”
“I will listen to the engraving.”
I don’t know who is worried about whom, but for now, I took in the nuances of what I heard.
Well, I guess I have to acknowledge that strong spirit.
From what I heard, I was considered an honor student even in those boring theory classes, but it wasn’t easy to train like this without taking a break even on the weekends.
I don’t know if she still wants to make me her own person, but if she continues to grow like this, I think the chances of her being called the princess of misfortune will at least decrease.
At least if you build your own faction properly.
“Do, do, master… … ?”
Suddenly, Brian called me with a noise that sounded like a mosquito crawling.

When I turned my head after hearing that sound, I saw him sweating like he was on the verge of pooping.
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
“Well, well, there now… … !”
Brian’s anxious eyes were directed somewhere beyond the training grounds.
The moment I turned my head, wanting something,
“… … !”
hmm? what? Did I see something wrong just now?
Beyond the stream surrounding the outskirts of the fitness center,
A familiar being standing on a grassy field.
weird.
This is a dazed feeling, like being hit on the head with a hammer.
In my own way, I can say that it is a feeling I have felt for the first time in a very long time.
Why? Why?
Why on earth is this little boy who should be taking a nap in his room!?
A bold little boy leisurely walking around the center of the academy, wearing the magic training hood issued by the academy.
The moment I saw those bright, shining pure eyes, that little boy made me break into a cold sweat without even realizing it!
It was Nana.
* * *
Arin had been visiting the training center every weekend since the academy began.
In the meantime, I have continued to train with Resimus and have made meaningful improvements, and I have worked hard to develop myself further without being conceited.
Only for one person, Sian Bert.
He showed up at a training center he had never met before.
Since we rarely showed up in class, there weren’t many moments where we could see each other even though we were in the same grade.
As it was the first time they had seen each other, Arin felt that she wanted to spend more time with Sian, so she mustered up the courage to say it.
“Ho, if it’s okay with you, would you like to train with us? I think if you look at it, it might develop into something better… … .”
“… … .”
However, Xian was not even paying attention to Arin.
Arin tilted her head at the embarrassed face that was rarely seen.
“draft… … ?”
“I’m sorry, princess. “Something urgent suddenly came up, so I’ll go first.”
In the end, Xian suddenly left the training center with his guardian knight.
As the situation unfolded so quickly, Arin was unable to say anything for about 10 seconds.
“Oh, Arin? Are you okay?”
Resimus approached and asked cautiously.
At this, Arin’s face suddenly turned red.
“what! While someone is talking, they just walk away! “I don’t even care about this?”
The feelings from before were gone, and jealousy and anger towards Xian exploded.
“You’re really unlucky! How good do you think you are? it’s okay! “I don’t want to train with you either!”
Even if I tried to vent my anger, the person involved had already left.
Arin stamped her feet into the empty air, but still sighed.
“Looks like we still have a long way to go… … .”
Is it still not enough to catch his eye?
I am putting in effort every day to keep the resolution I made a year ago.
In fact, I felt drained by the fact that the person in question didn’t show any interest at all.
“Let’s start training, Resimus.”
Finally, as if she had gained insight, Arin began to relax.
He told me to make my body tired and forget about it when my mind is busy.
The moment I took off my outer clothes and stretched out my arms forward to warm up,
“… … ?”
Her body, which had been flexing its muscles, stopped.
Clear and bright eyes that seem to contain morning dew.
As I looked into those eyes, the irritation that had been rising just a moment ago subsided in an instant.
It feels like seeing a fairy in a forest full of curiosity.
“Uh, child?”
Four or five years old? A young girl who looked like she had just started speaking was sitting in front of her.
He was wearing a red magic cloak that covered his entire body but was still dragging on the ground.
“… … ?”
The child was also looking intently at Arin’s face.
It was clearly a child who had not been seen when Sian left.
Arin, forgetting any thoughts of training, bent down and was at eye level with her.
“Hey, kid, how did you get here?”
The child just tilted his head in silence.
“Why is there such a young child at the academy?”
“Aren’t you a kid who lives in the city? Or the child of an academy official… … .”
The Guardian Knights, including Resimus, were equally surprised.
I was surprised that it was a child, but once everyone left, it was so cute.
With pink hair that you’d never seen anywhere else, and a small body wrapped tightly in a hood, it was so adorable that anyone would want to hug it.
“Can you tell me what your name is? “My sister’s name is Arin.”
When asked his name, his tightly closed mouth opened wide.
“… … Nana.”
It was a cute name that was reasonably easy to call.
“Nana? What a cute name! “How did you get here?”
“I came looking for Papa!”
In other words, she was a lost child looking for her family.
“It looks like you lost your parents? “So, is this the instructor’s child?”
“Wouldn’t that be highly likely? It’s not uncommon for the families of those involved to visit… … .”
Due to the circumstances of most of the people involved in providing room and board within the academy, visits by family members on their behalf were routine.
Arin and Resimus naturally thought that this child would be one of those visitors.
“Then do you want to go with me? If you go to my sister’s room, there are a lot of delicious things there. “You and my parents will definitely find it!”
“Yes, good!”
Nana smiled and held Arin’s hand.
At this, Arin’s face turned red again.
Putting aside thoughts about Xian and growing up for a moment, Arin took Nana to her dormitory.
* * *
The door was locked just as tightly as when I left.
Just in case, a small magic barrier was installed when leaving, so it was virtually impossible to open this door and leave.
However, looking between the curtains blowing in the wind and the wide open window, I could see everything.
So, our little boy, who must have been out of the egg for about a month now, has not only crawled, walked, and talked, but is now even able to fly?
Moreover, this place was two stories high.
I’m so happy that this thing is growing so fast.
From the point where I found Nana, I scanned the entire 200m radius, but I couldn’t even see where she had disappeared to.
I rushed over to see if he had used his homing instinct and returned to the dormitory, but all that remained was the amazing scene of his escape.
“Couldn’t someone have already found it and taken it with them?”
Who discovered it?
Then from that moment on, we will enter the worst situation.
Fortunately, out of all the misfortune, she was wearing a magic cloak that I had thrown away somewhere when I first found her.
As long as no one takes it off or blows it away in the wind, he can still look like an ordinary little boy.
But it won’t last long.
If even a little bit of it is peeled off and other hidden parts are revealed… … .
I don’t know, but incredibly annoying things will come to me.
Now that this was happening, there was no need to delay any more time.
I gently closed my eyes and immediately cast the secret technique of mist.
“Ammu Type 4: Life Detection!”
Along with the spell, the mist that seeped out from between the collars entered my eyes.
It is a secret technique that uses the power of fog to detect life around it, but it does not necessarily detect only life.
To begin with, Nana is half-human and half-dragon, so she must also possess the divine powers of a dragon.
I don’t think we’ve gone far yet, so if we start from the dormitory and gradually expand the detection area… … ?
“hmm?”
When I opened my eyes for a moment, the surrounding fog suddenly disappeared.
what? Why are you there?
“Are you looking for your car?
“Follow me, Brian!”
I kicked out the door with Brian and headed to the 3rd floor of the Royal Building.
I know who lives there, but I’ve never been there before.
As I climbed the stairs and stepped into the hallway, I saw three unfamiliar faces at the end.
Nana is smiling with a bright face.
And between them, two women holding her hands.
I’m really going crazy.
In the end, they seemed to have discovered me as well, and were looking at me in complete surprise.
“draft?”
