The day before the start of school (2)
Thanks to the faithful early education of my parents, who raised me with love since I was young, I have developed a constitution that causes my back to tighten and blood flow to accelerate when I hear the word ‘guarantee’.
But actually, that’s just my story.
Still, in any case, the ugliness of a human being cornered is more burdensome than one can imagine.
“After being excommunicated from my family, I was left completely penniless, so I need a lot of money urgently.”
It’s just a burden to suddenly hear something like this from a classmate you’re not even close with. I don’t know that. Rather, I do it because I know it.
“Or can you lend me some money?”
As if to show off, he asked the spirit priest girl for money.
“I see…!”
However, Yenika’s friendliness was greater than I imagined, and I thought,
“It must have been difficult…!”
I couldn’t help but hold my tongue in response to the series of events leading up to ’empathy’.
“There must have been a lot of hard times that I don’t know about… I’m not sure what to cheer you on… I hope you cheer up!”
Even his cheerful appearance without any malice arouses suspicion. Do you really know someone named Ed Rothtaylor?
He must have been a person who could not be liked even with empty words. However, Yenica’s naughty actions are only a few levels higher.
“But… I’m not in a very wealthy position either… I would definitely help if I could, but my family’s situation isn’t that good…”
Yenika is the daughter of a small rancher in the Sparde region in the eastern part of the kingdom. . Not from a very wealthy background. Rather, he is a person who grew up playing in the plains in a commoner’s environment.
Therefore, the reason she was able to attend an academy with such an aristocratic environment was probably thanks to her superior spirit sensitivity. Because I have the ability, I get good grades and receive a scholarship.
“Still, cheer up! I’ll cheer you on!”
A bright smile is her trademark. It has a knack for making your heart feel warm when you look at it.
However, as someone who knew what she said, it wasn’t very pleasant.

This is where Ed Rosstaylor left.
There, a girl sat quietly and stretched out her hand in the air.
“It’s just as you said, Merylda. You’re such an amazing person.”
There are only three people at Sylvania Academy whose spirit sensitivity is so good that they can see the appearance of Merilda, the high-ranking spirit of the wind.
Sophomore senior Yenika Palover.
‘Lazy Lucy’, who has extraordinary talent in all fields of magic,
and Melina, a senior professor of elemental studies.
“It didn’t feel like this last year.”
A swirling wind blew through the girl’s hands outstretched in the air. Before I knew it, there was a wolf with a huge figure wrapped in the wind.
It opened its maw, which seemed intimidating even at first glance, and made a small noise before hitting its face against the girl’s hand.
Yenika smiled as she touched the lower jaw of a wolf that was dozens of times bigger than her.
“I hope I can sign a contract with you someday, Merylda.”
Although they were close like family, Yenica’s magical power was still too weak to make a spirit contract with Merilda. Although he had recently succeeded in making a contract with the high-ranking fire spirit Tarkan, he had to lie down for ten days and nights afterwards and suffer from a high fever.
“But you’re a wolf… You seem like the owner of the forest now.”
The appearance of the high-ranking wind spirit Merilda changed every time we met. Sometimes it’s a giant eagle, sometimes it’s a creepy crocodile, sometimes it’s a rugged wild boar.
Merilda appeared in the form of various animals, but this was the first time she took the form of a wolf.
Jenica buried her face in Merilda’s soft fur for a moment and nuzzled her face.
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t seem to see you.”
Jenica thought as she buried her face in Merilda’s body.
I was thinking about a classmate who had been excommunicated for something dishonorable. He was not a person with particularly great abilities or magical powers.
Nevertheless, there were occasionally words that bothered me.
– ‘Even such a huge, rugged wolf seems to have a soft heart.’
He definitely said that.
Yenika was also talking about Merilda’s wolf form, which she saw for the first time after returning to the forest after vacation, as if it were natural.
“What is it?”
And the intention of the following words was clear.
He said that he was desperate to lend him some money, but his tone and tone were calm. There was nothing like the desperation typical of those who were cornered.
Even though Yenika looks like she’s good-natured and just smiles, she’s as perceptive as anyone else.
He indirectly rebuffed Yenika’s approach by telling her not to approach him.
“Well, there are people like that… but I’m still human…”
He took out his anger by kicking Merilda’s fur. Of course, there was no way the girl’s few charming kicks would leave even a scratch on Merilda’s leather, which was as hard as steel.
“I tried my best to be kind to you, but if you slap me away like that, it hurts me too. Ugh.”
I didn’t really have any feelings or confessed anything, but I felt like I was being dumped for no reason, so I was grumpy.
“Well, we’ll continue to see each other face to face from now on, so things will get better.”
Jenica smiled as she hugged Merilda tightly, who was rubbing her face.
After all, the relationship between people is something you may not know even if you know it. I thought I met so many of my classmates last year and became close friends, but now that I’m here this year, there are so many amazing and interesting people.
Among them, Ed Rosstaylor was unusual. Merilda even commented on him as a ‘funny person.’
Ed Rosstaylor knew Merilda’s wolf form, and despite Jenica’s bright smile, he pushed her away.
To Jenica, the world was always kind and was like a flower field that always smelled like flowers.
No matter who it was, if she greeted her with a bright smile, her heart would soften and she would smile along with her.
No matter how kind-hearted a person is, there is always a little darkness in the back of his heart. It’s not that Merilda doesn’t understand that.
Nevertheless, I had no doubt that smiling brightly would open my heart.
“School starts tomorrow. I have to study hard again.”
I have a classmate I’m interested in. Even that fact was a joy to Jenica.

“If this is enough, you’ll stop paying attention to me, right?”
I sat in front of the bonfire and tidied up my clothes for the last time. Struggling to achieve a neat yet discreet style.
First, I slicked back my golden hair as much as possible, neatly organized it, and removed all unnecessary accessories from my clothes. He also trimmed his beard neatly, which completely changed his appearance.
After this semester, the tuition problem becomes a reality. If I don’t get a scholarship, I have to leave this school right away.
What I am saying is that I need to discipline myself as much as possible during this one semester grace period.
The Ministry of Magic’s curriculum may be more extensive than I expected, but it will still constantly eat up my time.
There has been considerable progress in mana sensitivity and direct elemental magic proficiency. From the beginning, I was able to master it repeatedly to some extent by constantly using it for survival, such as cutting down trees in the forest or starting a fire.
[Magic ability details]
Grade: Crude Magician Specialty: Elemental Common Magic: Fast Casting Lv 2 Mana Detection Lv 5 Fire Elemental Magic: Combustion Lv 5 Wind Elemental Magic: Wind Blade Lv 4 The mastery level of major magics was quite high. Originally, it was said that the skill level rose to level 10 easily, but it was still quite fast.
There are limits to the study of magic itself that can be taught on one’s own. Once the curriculum begins, the magic used will become quite diverse.
Lifestyle skill proficiency will also naturally increase, which will have a significant impact on talent stats.
The problem is combat ability. Stamina and strength are hopelessly low.
Although I’ve been doing physical labor for the past few days, my stats haven’t changed. This cursed body did not seem to have any physical talent whatsoever.
However, it’s not my personality to just sit there and do nothing.
“There’s nothing like aerobic exercise for physical fitness.”
At this point, when every day is a series of aerobic exercise, it may be nonsense to make time to exercise.
But the environment is the environment. This northern forest, which is now my home, is quite far from Haksak-dong in the southeast of Aken Island.
The day I was excommunicated, I was walking aimlessly and it took me about half a day to reach this forest. At that time, I walked thoughtfully, taking breaks in between, and walking here and there in random directions.
Still, the distance to Haksak-dong cannot be said to be close. They even have to go to school together every day. It’s like running at a canter to the distant Haksak-dong every morning.
‘You should think of it as physical training.’
Physical strength is the basis of all actions. No matter how technically excellent you are or how well you have trained your magical powers, in the end, your physical strength must support you.
It is said that students in the combat club basically do this kind of walking every morning, so there is nothing I can do. I’m a student at the Ministry of Magic, not the Combat Club, but is it time to talk about that?
They canter to school every morning and develop their abilities in the field of combat through various survival activities such as hunting and woodworking.
Also, you should not forget to train your magical abilities by continuously repeating magic sensitivity training and mastering basic elemental magic.
At the same time, they create various environments necessary for survival and take care of training their living skills. The constantly accumulating talent stats and various production skills will be of great help in the future.
And about pension skills… I’m not sure yet. There are no magic tools or alchemy supplies that are useful right now.
“Anyway, I have to focus solely on my training this semester.”
I hope there is no needless attention or aggro. There’s still so much to do.
please..
