8. Midterm – 02

Altina von Rudel Serias sometimes feels that a man named Jin is really strange.

As far as Altina knows, the known native ingredient of Jin is a commoner.

It is also a commoner who realized the paranormal ability latent in himself one day and luckily entered Nineveh.

In fact, the tone he used on a daily basis was really cheap, and the words and actions he showed on a daily basis were often enough to make Altina, who was born and raised as an aristocrat, frown.

On such a subject, it was quite strange that he knew how to behave and act reminiscent of a high-ranking aristocrat very occasionally, but it was not surprising since the fact that he was able to enter Nineveh in the first place suggests that Jin was related to a certain ‘nobility’. I can do it.

No, in fact, Altina only had doubts about whether Jin was really from a commoner.

Even if his usual words and actions were different, the martial arts he built up were absolutely not those of an ordinary human being.

Wu is not simply a concept of violence that harms others. Wu (武) is the experience and belief itself that a person has accumulated throughout his life.

Since ancient times, humans have dedicated their lives to polishing and polishing the martial arts that make up them, and passing them on to their descendants.

Over many years, passing through the hands of countless people, martial arts gradually progress towards completion.

And, judging by Altina, the swordsmanship released from Jin’s fingertips was never something based on his talent or supernatural ability.

It must be clear that the swordsmanship he mastered must be a world-class swordsmanship refined after painstaking training under the help of a master.

Whether it was Jinba’s martial arts skills or swordsmanship, Altina couldn’t possibly regard a man named Jin as a simple commoner.

Where is that? Occasionally, but there were many times when he showed a maturity that was incomparable to that of a boy his age.

Of course, it was very rare, and there were more times when he showed an immature and pathetic appearance befitting his age than when he showed it like that-

At times, it seemed that a man named Jin was not at all her age.

He was so mature, grown-up, and serious that I couldn’t help but stare at his back without even realizing it.

In terms of appearance, behavior, and appearance, he was a man who was really nothing special, but at the same time, he was a strange man who couldn’t be considered a simple commoner.

That person was a man named Jin.

“…..”

However, apart from the strangeness that Altina felt, she couldn’t help but feel the fact that Jin was a human being who really built a wall against academic knowledge.

In Altina’s eyes, basically, the person called Jin was not very friendly with studies.

Although it is difficult to notice because it is hidden by the cheap tone he likes to use, the vocabulary and words he usually uses are of a fairly high level, and judging from the fact that his words and actions are quite sophisticated, it is assumed that he received a considerable education as a child. –

When it was time for class, instead of focusing on the blackboard, Altina seemed to be on fire from inside when she looked at her blankly looking out the window as if she had no interest in studying.

No, really, how is that person showing such carefree appearance to deal with later?

The place called Nineveh is a school. It is a place where you come to study. There is no need to mention the old-fashioned words about studying or whatnot about the student’s duty. Basically, in Nineveh, students are differentiated according to their grades and the rights they can enjoy are distributed differently.

Actually, that is unavoidable.

Because most of the students in Nineveh are aristocrats, and even if they don’t study at Nineveh, there’s nothing wrong with inheriting a family estate or title. because it won’t

Altina thought that Jin, who had just entered Nineveh, would not know about this situation, and even if he did, the situation would not be much different.

Even if Altina thought about it, it was absolutely absurd for Altina to think that a scoundrel who slammed into a noble family head-on just because she didn’t like the subject, who was a commoner, would at least be obsessed with test scores and tremble.

However, even though Jin didn’t care, Altina did care about his grades.

To say that Jin’s place in Nineveh right now is really subtle is an understatement.

Jin overwhelmingly defeated Hugo in a duel evaluation not too long ago, and the reason is unknown, but strange rumors circulate that Jin is the hidden illegitimate son of a certain noble family, so the number of people directly arguing with him has decreased significantly.

However, in return, the undesirable gaze at him also increased significantly.

Previously, there was just one weird and cheeky commoner in Class A. He had only this level of recognition, but now, in Nineveh, people who don’t know his face and reputation have become a rare celebrity.

Now, curiosity and displeasure toward him coexist exquisitely, so no one dared to touch him, but if he gets even the lowest grade in class A, there might be a fight against him again.

Of course, all of this could just be her whim.

Jin’s status known to the outside world is none other than a commoner.

It is very natural that commoner students lack common sense and culture compared to aristocratic students.

The grades he received are far more likely to be quickly forgotten in the minds of others without even being a light affair for aristocratic students.

… However, the fact that he might be ridiculed by other students, and the fact that he might be disadvantaged, in itself, made Altina uncomfortable.

It’s really not a big deal, but that trivial thing really bothers Altina.

because he… because he is his master

Because he is a benefactor, teacher, and precious friend who has led him to the level of a Master.

Other than that… There would be no reason other than that. no, i don’t think

At least, Altina herself thought so.

So, Altina made a proposal to Jin.

Are you thinking of studying together? I will teach you to study by hand. If you study alone, it’s boring, but if you study together, wouldn’t it be a little better?

It was almost certain that Jin wouldn’t study if he just gave advice, so it was a proposal he made with the determination that things would get better if he kept watching and studying together.

At first, I thought about studying together in the library, but I didn’t like it for some reason.

I hated studying in a place where other people came and went countless times, and I hated that people passing by might stare at the two of them.

More than anything, I hated the fact that we couldn’t talk to each other because we had to study quietly in the library.

So, I called him to his room.

If she studied with him in her room, no one would disturb her, no one would find it strange that they were together, and, crucially, they would be able to talk to each other freely.

However, Altina’s plan went awry from the beginning.

“Well… I don’t quite understand this issue.”

“What problem? Ah, the problem with the geometric series of figures. It is a problem that does not need to draw auxiliary lines like other problems. It can be said that it is efficient to derive an answer quickly by substituting a formula through already given information rather than drawing an auxiliary line.”

“Oh, I see. Certainly, the answer comes quickly because it is solved this way.”

“Originally, teachers in Nineveh prefer questions that emphasize creativity and solving skills rather than memorizing formulas to derive answers. got it?”

“…..”

Altina was watching Jin and Claire study together with a dazed face, talking in a loud voice.

The original plan was never like this. No, it was unexpected that someone other than Jin was present in his room in the first place.

But it was unavoidable. Just before leading Jin into her room, she faced Claire in the lobby, and after hearing everything, Claire also expressed her intention to participate in today’s study.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with it. No, in a way, it’s actually a very good thing.

Claire Delphine Mascarena was the student who boasted the best grades among the freshmen, if only theoretically.

Claire is a wizard. And, of course, the wizard is a job that belongs to a job that cannot be done because of bad brains.

In the eyes of others, it seems that wizards can create magic by just memorizing spells, but if you dig into the reality, it means that formula calculations that ordinary people can’t even imagine are being calculated in their brains.

And Claire is a woman who is evaluated as having the greatest talent among all the students in Nineveh.

It was impossible for such a Claire to be at a loss for studying at the high school level, and it was something that should not happen.

It’s just that the grade evaluation at Nineveh goes through the process of summing up the practical and theoretical aspects, so it’s just that Claire, who can be said to be weak in terms of physical strength, doesn’t rank first in the grade.

On the other hand, if it was pure ‘theory’, it would mean that there is no student who can surpass Claire in Nineveh.

In fact, rather than saying that Claire was studying with Jin and Altina, she was busy teaching them what they didn’t know.

… Yeah, again, this is a very good thing, objectively.

As Claire joined today’s study, Jin, who had been worried about Altina, also began to study hard, and Altina was also smoothly progressing by retracing what she didn’t know.

“Hey, by the way, Jin, you seem to have learned something like this before? No matter how you look at it, you don’t seem to have the skills to see this kind of problem for the first time.”

“What are you learning? It’s just that I’m smart enough to absorb water like cotton absorbs water.”

“Wow, really unlucky. Where do you go and if you say that, everyone else will point at you?”

“Anyway, I don’t want to hear that from you. To be honest, things like this don’t feel worse than the multiplication table that children in the junior high school learn.”

“Not that far… roughly elementary school? Or maybe it’s up to the middle school level… .”

“Look, you’re much more unlucky than I am.”

“is it? lol.”

It’s been a long time since this space has already become a space only for the two of them, Jin and Claire.

Obviously, this was Altina’s room, but at the same time, there was no place for Altina in this place.

Jin and Claire were only looking at each other’s faces. In particular, Jin doesn’t pay attention to Altina, only looking at Claire, making eye contact with Claire, and talking only to Claire.

In fact, it is natural. Because Claire was currently taking on the role of teacher here.

In the first place, the purpose of Jin and Claire’s coming to Altina’s room is to study for the exam. So, this situation where you can study smoothly… Altina must be greeted.

But why do I feel so bad? Why do I feel so uncomfortable?

He is my teacher, my benefactor, and my friend at the same time. I decided to think that there was no relationship other than that and I shouldn’t want more than that.

Why am I feeling so confused right now? why.

Even after that, Jin and Claire were able to study for the exam smoothly together.

However, Altina was unable to concentrate on her studies that day.
