3. Nineveh – 04

The next morning, Jin’s first schedule in Nineveh was no different than being taken to the teachers’ room and having a consultation with the homeroom teacher in charge of Class A.

“Jin, are you a transfer student who will be in class A from today?”

Class A’s homeroom teacher, Ethan Raven.

On the outside, he was very hard, cold, and cold-hearted, and he is said to have such a personality in reality.

If you look at it well, it’s a thorough personality that distinguishes between public and private, but in reality, it seemed like you could just think of it as a ruthless human being.

“I heard the story from the president. I was admitted to Nineveh using the privilege of special admission.”

“Yeah.”

“Judging by the fact that his last name is not written, he must be a commoner. Am I right?”

“Yes, but.”

It wasn’t something to hide, so Jin quietly nodded. Above all, it was a hundred times better to be misunderstood as a commoner than to be accused of being a spy.

But why are you suddenly asking me if I’m a commoner? Could it be that he was trying to say something like, “Did you dare to crawl into Nineveh without even knowing what was going on with a commoner like a worm?”

“Nineveh is an educational institution established by the Seven Heroes to fight against the end that will come one day. Since it was established with such a lofty purpose and ideology, Nineveh does not place any conditions or restrictions on students who wish to enter.”

So what? Even though he looked at him with an expression of ‘Ethan’, Mr. Ethan was just looking at him with a calm expression.

From the beginning to the end, there was not a slight movement in the eyebrows, so Jin was deeply impressed by the look.

If this person had gambled at a casino instead of being a teacher, he would have made a name for himself as a tajja.

“However, from a realistic point of view, it is almost impossible for all people to enter Nineveh using their talents without being bound by their status or other restrictions. This is because Nineveh requires an astronomical amount of money for admission and tuition to prevent rogues from entering the school.”

“Yes, what.”

“Of course, Nineveh has established several programs, such as scholarships, for gifted but financially limited students. However, as you well know, only a very small number of students can benefit from such a system, so the majority of Nineveh’s members are inevitably wealthy or noble students.”

Although the story has been twisted around a bit, I get a rough idea of what this man is trying to say.

So, Ethan-sensei is no different now-

“In other words, it is rare to find a commoner student like you in Nineveh. In particular, Class A, which you will be a part of, is made up entirely of aristocratic students. Probably, I think you will have a hard time blending into the class with a high probability.”

Rather than thinking of Jin as a commoner and ignoring Jin, he was worried about Jin and tried to help.

“Especially, if they find out that you were admitted as a descendant of the Seven Heroes and special admissions, their antipathy towards you will grow. No matter how talented you are, and no matter how rigorous your education has been since birth, you are still just an immature student.”

“Furthermore, Nineveh basically takes the position of non-interference in affairs between students. Even if all the students in the class banded together to reject you, the faculty and staff couldn’t take any action. This is an educational institution, but at the same time, there is no time to take on the role of nanny for the students.”

Saying so, Ethan-sensei put down a piece of paper in front of Jin-ui. It was nothing other than a letter of hope to transfer Ban to another place with Jin’s consent.

“If you don’t mind, I think it’s a good idea to transfer from class A, which is full of students from aristocrats, to a class with a lot of commoners. Jin, this is my presumptuous idea, but there is no need to walk down a path full of thorns. Of course, there is nothing you can gain from remaining in Class A, but on the other hand, the damage you may receive is too great.”

His words were always with Jin in mind, and his words were not coercion, but invitations.

He wasn’t ignoring him because he was a student, and his will to leave everything to Jin’s choice was clearly shown.

Well, his words were not meaningless. Jin also hated the situation where the kids couldn’t cover their poo and pee and quarreled with him.

Considering that he avoids poop not because he is afraid of it, but because it is dirty, it will help him to have a comfortable and comfortable school life if he does not attract the attention of the nobles by moving his class.

but.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that offer.”

That’s why Jin rejected Teacher Ethan’s proposal.

“I see, is that your answer?”

Surprisingly, Sensei Ethan didn’t feel bad or offended that Jin had rejected his proposal head-on. I just ask the reason with a grave face.

“Why? Can you tell me why?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just that I thought it would be a bit cumbersome to move classes from now on. And-“

“And?”

“… No, nothing.”

And since Jin hadn’t entered Nineveh in the first place to study or make friends, it didn’t matter if he had no friends or ate alone.

Furthermore, isn’t Class A the class that Jin is aiming for, Erekaya? In such a situation, it would be absurd for mere children to run away to another class just because they are scared.

“If you are, there is nothing you can do. i get it. If so, I will pretend that there was no previous case.”

Jjiik-

Saying that, Ethan-sensei tore the former and hope book in half in front of Jin.

That’s true, he’s a noble man with an exciting behavior.

“There are still about 30 minutes left before class A’s common class begins. You’d better go back to class now.”

“All right.”

“Oh, and one more thing. According to the chairman’s special order, you are not a specially admitted student externally, but a regular student who entered the school about 3 weeks late due to a problem with the admission process. So, when you go somewhere and make fun of your mouth, make fun of it carefully.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Even at that, Jin nodded his head without any complaint. Well, the situation was somewhat different from the original plan of trying to attract Erekaya’s attention by claiming that he was a descendant of the Seven Heroes, but that didn’t mean there was any problem.

In fact, I even liked Jin a little. It’s like a powerful play that usually hides one’s identity but reveals it at a decisive moment.

****

Jin continued his steps and headed for Class A’s classroom. To be honest, he didn’t know much about the geography of this place, but he had a talking navigation in his head, so there was no way he would forget the way.

When Jin opens the door and enters Class A’s classroom, the classroom, which was filled with noise just before, instantly becomes quiet as if it had been muted. And like a scene from a horror movie, the students stare at him standing in front of the door.

“…..”

“…..”

What is this? did i do something wrong? I didn’t expect applause or a warm welcome, but isn’t this a bit much?

Just when Jin, who had disappeared, was looking around the classroom looking for an empty seat, a muscle pig with a rough and stern face who was sitting in the back suddenly stood up and approached Jin.

No matter how you look at it, he didn’t seem to be a guy full of volunteerism who stepped forward to help Jin, who was standing awkwardly in front of the classroom unable to find his place.

“Hey, I heard that you are also a member of Class A, but you entered the school late for some reason? What is your name?”

A muscle pig who talks without hesitation in the first meeting. He’s a guy with a stern face, but he even looks like a gangster.

However, since ancient times, you shouldn’t judge everything by looking at your friend’s appearance.

Jin decided to treat the guy with such a vile face with sincerity.

“jin.”

“jin? don’t you have a last name? So you’re saying you’re a commoner?”

“uh.”

“By the way, are you short? Because you are a commoner.”

“I heard that in Nineveh, it’s a rule to use informal language among classmates.”

“Oh, that? that’s not the rule By the way, that’s just a rule, not a school-level rule. So, if you want, it’s okay to use short language or honorific language.”

“yes? Then I write half words. Because I don’t want to use honorifics for people my age.”

In fact, it’s not even about the same age, no matter how small it is, he’s a hundred years older. It’s just that I don’t follow genealogy because I want to live as young as possible.

“No, I mean, I know you’re a commoner, so take care of-“

“friend.”

Jin sighed as he looked at the pig in front of him.

Jin gets annoyed every time he sees a foolish pig in front of him.

As soon as he entered the academy, he was an asshole who talked about being a commoner and started a fight. Isn’t it a cliché to the extent that it is said that it is rather novel when it is used now, as it was eaten by worrying about the bones of the bones in the past?

If I had the same old personality, I would have turned that idiot into a pig, but after rejecting the homeroom teacher’s offer and entering Class A, it’s not even been a minute since I’ve already had an accident, isn’t it?

So, solve it as quietly as possible. In a very peaceful way that everyone can be happy.

“Can you turn it back a bit? I can’t go to my seat because you’re so big that you’re blocking the road. therefore-“

“Move.”

Jin’s words were very low and quiet. To the point where I couldn’t hear what he was saying unless I paid close attention.

but.

“… uh?”

The next moment, standing in front of Jin, he felt short of breath.

vision is distorted All objects in my field of vision turn achromatic. The air is so heavy, it feels like it weighs everything down.

I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe I involuntarily took a deep breath. This is not it. Something went wrong. Just when he thought so and opened his mouth to say something.

“Look, it’s nice to be friends. yes?”

Suddenly, he took a step to the side. As he had just said, as if he had cleared the way to his place.

“My friend, are we going to get along well in the future? right?”

Saying that, Jin tapped the boy on the chin. I also slapped him on the cheek in case he would be upset if I hit him on the chin.

“Hey? don’t you answer? If you act like that, it’s like I’m threatening you. Right or not?”

“Uh, uh, yeah… .”

As expected, home appliances and people are supposed to listen well when you hit them.

Satisfied with the satisfaction of fixing a person today, Jin went to the empty desk with a hearty smile and sat down quietly.

Of course, he didn’t care about the reaction of the people around him.

‘You’re lucky. I can’t believe I’ve already made a friend like this.’

– Anyway, it’s like a bully.

And she didn’t pay much attention to Erekaya’s chatter in her head.

For some reason, I had a feeling that I would be able to spend a pleasant school life in the future.

Of course, no one else but Jin could agree with that idea.
