73. gymnasium

“One point obliterated.”

The starter word ‘Erasing one point’ shouted along with the outstretched fist.

The fire that spread out in a straight line went straight and pierced the training doll.

As it was, he reached the wall where the defense magic was applied.

Quaang!!

The entire large gymnasium of the academy where I was was shaking and a roar rang out.

At that moment, I thought I had broken through the wall, so I was worried about what to do to fix it, but

After the rising black smoke cleared, I looked and luckily there was no problem with the wall.

‘… If I made a mistake, I could have punched a hole through the entire wall.’

The protective shield composed of defensive magic crackled and burned black, but

Fortunately, I could see that it was recovering little by little.

I looked at my fist with new eyes.

“At this rate, Ryan’s one-point expungement is almost reached.”

I learned two things from Ryan.

A breathing method that is easy to handle mana… That is, mental

It was her unique skill, ‘Erase one point’.

There was nothing difficult because it was enough to learn the Simbeop, but the problem was ‘Erasing one point’.

Because of the tremendous need for energy, it always failed because the total amount of energy was insufficient.

Even when I was at the auction house, I couldn’t even imitate one point erasure without Miho’s help.

Just a few days later, I was able to perfectly handle ‘Erase One Point’ without her.

[What do you like? It’s not the achievement you made with your efforts, it’s because of the fantasy I told you to take.]

‘… that’s true Are you lighting a candle while you’re happy?’

When Miho intervened, the joy in my heart completely subsided.

What was infuriating was that her tackle was not wrong.

The day he got out of the auction house with Hannah’s help.

I gave her a huge promise to grant her wish, but Hannah never came to see me after that.

With Miho’s help, I ingested pills in the dormitory.

‘Phantom’ was a kind of elixir that Miho had told her to steal from the storage room of the auction house.

I don’t know the exact principle, but I think it’s the kind that comes out in martial arts.

After eating, the total amount of energy almost doubled.

However, as in the original work, there was a problem with some side effects that occurred after ingestion.

[Why are you standing still and smiling sinisterly? More than that, did you know that your jacket was completely burned?]

‘When do you think I laughed evilly… what.’

When I came to my senses at Miho’s words and looked at my body, it was indeed after my upper clothes had been burned without a trace.

Is it because the one-point erasure proficiency is still insufficient, or is it because of using Miho’s flame?

I don’t know why, but how can I go back to the dormitory from the training ground if my upper body is naked?

[It’s perfect to be misunderstood as a pervert. He had two daughters on either side of him and made fun of them, and they looked good.]

‘… I’m not a jerk, what are you talking about?’

[I don’t know if it’s a fly or a fly, but rumors are spreading that there is a crazy exhibitionist who wanders around the school with his top uncovered.]

At this point, I looked at the bag I had brought while half ignoring Miho who was teasing me.

… I don’t remember putting it in, but maybe there’s something like a T-shirt inside.

As I approached the bag, I heard a knock at the gymnasium door.

-It seems like there is a loud noise. What is going on?

Judging by Haoche’s unique way of speaking and voice, the person outside was… 100% Koyono.

Why the hell is she at the gym at this time?

The time to worry couldn’t last long.

“Oh, nothing happened. You can just die.”

Even so, it was a bit embarrassing to show her the upper body naked.

I deliberately covered my nose and tried to send her away with a snoring noise.

No sound could be heard from outside, as if my efforts had worked.

– Ball Schmitz? Sounds like Lord Schmitz’s voice. Why is your voice like that? What’s wrong?

How did know.

No, I don’t know how…

Rather, unlike usual, it seems that the nose-maeng-maeng sound is buying a bigger misunderstanding.

The moment I hurriedly covered my nose again and tried to say it was okay.

jump!

“I think the door was open. Miss Schmitz, what… ?”

At that moment, Koyono opened the gymnasium door and came in.

She carefully looked at her naked upper body, unkempt suit pants,

And now that I have captured the strange scenery with one hand covering my nose…

[It’s a truly staggering and stuffy landscape. ha ha ha!]

Only Miho’s laughter echoed in my head.

* * *

“… Uh, so you mean that only your upper clothes burned down while you were training fire-attribute attacks?”

“That’s right.”

Koyono and I were sitting facing each other on the floor of the gymnasium, talking.

At first, Koyono tried to run away screaming while blushing, so I barely caught him.

The gymnasium is quite soundproofed, so I closed the door.

… Thanks to that, I spent quite a bit of time explaining it.

“I guess that’s why I brought extra clothes.”

“… That’s right.”

I was wearing a white t-shirt.

What really bothered me was that an extra T-shirt was in my bag.

If Koyono had come in just one minute later, this wouldn’t have happened…

[It was an interesting sight. Thank you.]

‘Please be quiet.’

Ignoring Miho’s still giggling words, he looked at Koyono’s face.

I was a little worried that he might be looking at me with strange eyes.

… However, Koyono’s condition was a little strange.

It’s not that he’s looking at my face, but that his gaze is slightly down.

Should I say that he is staring at my chest area with blank eyes?

“… Mr. Koyono?”

“Ha, ah, be careful anyway! Because we will train together in the future.”

“What do you mean by training?”

What does it mean to train together?

As I expressed my doubts, Koyono continued.

“Have you not heard from Professor Ryan yet? From today, I received a request from the professor to accompany Prince Schmitz in his training.”

Koyono’s explanation was as follows.

I wonder if they looked at me favorably as I am training hard these days?

That Ryan himself asked Koyono to help me with my training.

At the point where Koyono had mastered her sword, in a one-on-one hand-to-hand combat, there was no one in the lower class to deal with her.

I also wanted to fight with her.

It’s just that I’m a little reluctant to suggest it.

“… So, since they are members of the same party, he said that if we train together, we can deepen our understanding of each other.”

“okay. I’ll have to thank Professor Ryan later. Thank you, Koyono-dono, for coming here for me.”

After Koyono’s explanation was finished, I nodded.

He was a true teacher who took care of delinquent students like me who did nothing in class and didn’t listen properly.

… Of course, her Spartan upbringing still hasn’t adjusted well.

“I don’t mind. Rather, I’m worried that the girl will interfere with Lord Schmitz’s training.”

“How am I going to defeat Koyono-san with the sword?”

“Of course, now I can somehow win…” From Professor Ryan, I heard that you practice cutting bones every day.”

“It is difficult, but… I have to work hard because I am lacking.”

Did Professor Ryan say that?

As Koyono said, being taught by Professor Ryan made every day like hell.

I’m just enduring it while chanting ‘Eralmam’ in my heart.

Koyono, as if reading my mind, said that out of the blue.

“… Why are you working so hard After all, isn’t it to protect the Duke of Arlot?”

“… So, I am just doing my duty as a servant.”

“It’s not the time to admit it. No servant is as devoted to his master as Lord Schmitz.”

Looking at Koyono’s serious eyes, I shut my mouth.

She wasn’t wrong.

What kind of butler or maid would work so hard and devote themselves to their master?

In the past, I would have said to myself that it was because she was my favorite.

‘… I do not know.’

Even I wasn’t quite sure right now.

Was it simply because she was my favorite?

Is it because she draws the younger sister from her previous life?

If that’s not the case…

“Okay. I’ll beat you up and teach you, so hurry up and come in.”

Koyono abruptly stood up from her seat and drew her sword.

Until she snapped her fingers and made cute provocations.

“Then, I would like to ask for a favor.”

It’s not polite to remain silent at this level of provocation.

After thinking about it, I got up and started sparring with Koyono.

… Without imagining that the training that started like that would lead to a pretty big misunderstanding.
