I was slumped over the table, my head resting on my right hand, observing the room.
The silence was clear, the sound of chalk, conversations in a low tone.
It was relaxing and very peaceful.
But my head was a mess, the only thing I needed to do, I did it wrong.
Why did I behave so impulsively? Why did I behave so impulsively? I had never acted that way in my life. I had never acted that way in my life.
... All of this is giving me a headache. (Whisper)
At that moment, someone spoke to me in the seat next to mine, it was Javier.
I moved my head to the opposite side without moving any other part of my body.
(Javier) Noah (Whisper)
...Tell me (Whisper)
(Javier) I heard you got into trouble with Lucian. (Whisper)
...Do rumors spread that quickly, huh? (Whisper)
(Javier) What surprises me more is that you have the guts to act the way you did. (Whisper)
Javier must have had the image of Noah as someone who would never do anything wrong.
But I also am not capable of controlling myself properly.
...It was because he said something unpleasant to me. (Whisper)
(Javier) Well, if it's something like that, I won't ask. (Whisper)
...Thank you. (Whisper)
(Javier) Now that I think about it, I also heard something about Lucian and Clarise's relationship. (Whisper)
…What!!
I got up in an instant.
Again! Will this emotional impulse ever leave me alone?!
(Javier)… Noah
… What's happening? What's happening?
Javier was pointing ahead with a worried expression.
At that moment, I felt everyone's gaze, and there was one that was frightening; it was that of Professor "Selene." Despite her age, her well-groomed appearance made her look young and beautiful.
(Selene) Mr. Noah, refrain from doing that again, it annoys your classmates... Or do you think the control class is a joke?
Did he call me "sir" with sarcasm, didn't he?
...I- I'm sorry, professor.
When the teacher returned with her explanation, I sat down in my seat.
(Javier) Sorry, I shouldn't have said that (whisper)
… Don't worry, it's my fault. Don't worry, it's my fault.
I knew that Javier didn't intend to make me angry, but.
For some reason, I remembered something.
...a question, Javier, why are you here?
It was indeed strange that Javier was in this class, because he is ranked among the S ranks in the academy, thanks to his skills. So he should be in even more advanced courses, so why is he in this C-rank class?
(Javier) Hehe, I escaped.
Of everything I thought, I would be lying if I said that
I deduced that possibility.
... ...Come back.

In the VIP dining hall of the academy
Lucian was sitting, drinking a cup of tea.
While placing the cup on the table without letting go of it, I looked ahead.
(¿??) Hello Lucian, I heard about your little fight with Noah.
This guy again, what's his problem with me now?
(Lucian) Tch, Don't bother Aron, it just surprised me, okay?
(Aron) If it had surprised you, you wouldn't have let it go.
Lucian always has the attitude of a respectable nobleman in front of others of his same stature, so naturally, like most, he hated the commoners.
And knowing that one had put him in a complex situation only made him more furious than usual, especially having to keep hearing the same thing.
Lucian, who wouldn't let go of the cup even on the table, but gripped its handle tighter.
(Lucian) I am a noble, if I wanted to, I would ruin your life!
(Aron) What's stopping you?
Lucian saw Aron's face; he had a small smile that could be categorized as disturbing.
(Lucian) …
(Aron) How did you think about it, Lucian, being controlled by a woman, how does it feel?
The moment Aron finished speaking, Lucian stood up.
He had an expression of total anger, emanating a red aura; if someone saw him from afar, they would think he was ready to kill someone.
The place where he was was rapidly distorting, the cup he was holding shattered into pieces.
(Aron) …
Aron was unable to speak, he could only cover himself with his two arms.
Lucian approached slowly.
(Lucian) What did you say?
He had a terrifying look.
(Aron) …
Aron was trembling, he couldn't even look directly at Lucian.
(Lucian) Ha ha ha.
Lucian's laughter terrified those around him, except for a few who only looked on seriously.
(Lucian) Well, Aron, do something.
Aron, unable to move, could only watch as Lucian walked away. It was obvious, that hurt his pride.
(Aron) Damn Lucian (whisper)

...Why does this academy have enormous hallways!
Well, it's normal, considering that the size of the Eldoria academy is like a small country.
But still, why place the courses so far apart from each other!
The truth is, running was the thing I liked the least.
When I finished the control classes (knife control), I thought going to eat would be a good idea.
But when I went out to find the next class, I couldn't find it. So I asked someone.
And now I find myself running through these long hallways.
Seriously.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to use a sword well, so if I see a better option, I won't hesitate to switch.
Because according to the Eldoria Academy, the subject can be changed at any time, but an exam will have to be taken.
I feel like it will be difficult for me because I don't even know how to use magic. And usually, changes in subjects rarely happen at this academy.
While running desperately.
At a nearby entrance, a female figure appeared. But the problem is that I couldn't stop easily.
...Watch out!
¡Crash!
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
I lifted my torso off the floor, slowly opened my eyes due to the pain I felt from the impact.
In front of me was Clarise, I thought she was someone arrogant just like Lucian.
But she looked at me with eyes as if she were angry and with small tears.
He was adorable.
But a part of me felt pain
Again.
Clarise didn't say anything, she just got up and started picking up her things.
I decided to help. On the floor, there were leaves and some bottles of Alchemy?
So, Clarise is an alchemist? , well, thinking about it, it does make sense for her to be one.
I heard that Clarise is the daughter of "Regis Valtieri," a prestigious family of alchemists in the country.
I'm sorry.
I handed him the bottles.
My mind considered the idea of leaving, but I couldn't, I would dishonor myself by escaping the situation.
(Clarise) Go away (in a low voice)
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
(Clarise) Get lost!
I walked past her. And keep running.
From a distance, it was clear that she wasn't moving.
It was no use worrying, it seemed like she didn't even want to see me.
(Clarise)…
Clarise shed tears that rolled down her face silently.
It seems like you haven't provided any text to translate. Could you please provide the text you want translated?
When I arrived at my next class. I was tired from running.
But thanks to that, I managed to arrive on time.
I entered the room, and for some reason, those who were present me
they looked, it seemed as if they were worried.
I felt a chill.
...
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
I decided to sit in a corner.
Why was everyone looking at me a moment ago?
I don't understand! (Scratching his head)
I put my face on the table, thinking about the possibilities and the reason for this potential problem.
Hello everyone.
The person I spoke to a moment ago was the teacher.
He looked like an energetic person, with some wounds on his face and arms.
_I'll introduce myself, I'm Rolan, the practice instructor. Everyone will know what my class is about, practice is the most important aspect for a swordsman, studying is fine, but if you don't put your skills to the test, it means nothing.
So this is another sword lover, just like Javier.
Today we won't do much, we'll meet at the training field in 15, let's go!
Everyone got up and started moving. Of course, I joined them too so I wouldn't get lost on the way.
When we left the hall, I felt an unsettling gaze, but even though I looked everywhere, I didn't know where it was coming from.
In the darkness, although it was hard to see, someone was hiding.
___
The training field was absurdly large, like two international football pitches.
everyone positioned themselves vertically in a single line.
We were approximately 120 students, somewhat excessive.
But I suppose it must be because this course is complicated.
Train as best as you can and make an effort because in two weeks there will be a test, this will include students from other subjects!
I can't believe I'm a teacher.
I looked at the others and most were trembling, some were praying. All in silence.
That just made me think the worst.
The professor left, some students went away, and others went to a room.
So it must be a practice room. Maybe it's a good idea to watch how they train.
In the training room
A student was carrying a stone, it was a mana stone, which he then placed on the chest of a wooden doll, and it began to move.
…!!!
So, they train like Haci? The student was fighting with the wooden dummy. I was surprised by the skills of both sides.
Yes, it was exciting.
I don't have a mana stone, so I won't be able to train with one of those.
I went outside and sat under the tree.
I must find a way to use magic. Although swordsmen use aura as their primary source of power, leaving magic as secondary.
I decided to use magic as my main focus, to be more versatile in other subjects.
And even though I don't know how magic feels, I can rely on my extensive experience with manhwas.
So I can assume it will be a warm sensation when I feel it. And the control teacher, Selene, said that to feel the magic, you must search for it within your body and then manifest it in your arms.
The best way was to focus and look for her.
I sat down, grabbed a branch. I held it with both hands and began the procedure to uncover Noah's magic.
Even though it's difficult, taking the first step is enough.
I closed my eyes, I could only see darkness, I calmed my mind, and I felt a light breeze...
Crack!
I opened my eyes and saw the branch I was holding. It had broken in two.
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
I smiled happily.
[Pulse] skill unlocked!
I saw the panel that appeared in front of me.
Even if I saw it, it didn't seem strange to me. But touching the panel, yes. How would I express it?
How to touch a cold and resistant slab. While I was contemplating the panel, I felt a presence in front of me.
I closed the panel.
… Hello? Hello? How can I help you?
(Lucian)…
…Lucian-
(Lucian) Shut up, tomorrow you and I in the afternoon, training room three.
… …What? ... Hey, hey wait!
Lucian, who was leaving, didn't stop even though he raised his voice.
Damn it.
__
Getting home wasn't that easy. Those who were in A and S ranks at the academy enjoyed the luxury of a room in the dormitories.
Except for others, like us, the humble people.
Others were awaited by their parents in a small wooden carriage. In my case, I was going on foot.
Because only 4 kilometers away was the Eldrion Empire.
But that doesn't mean Noah lives in the empire; rather, he lives in a small nearby town. And since it was one of the main trade routes, merchant carriages were always seen, and if one was kind, they would take you.
_young man, where are you going?
While I was returning, a middle-aged woman spoke to me. She was accompanied by her husband riding the horse and her son. In their carriage, there were several boxes of fruit.
...I'm going to the village, next to the empire.
Let's go, climb up, we'll pull you up there.
...Thank you.
Sitting in a corner, while the carriage moved, the woman and her son were talking and laughing behind.
A smile escaped me. I turned my gaze outside.
You could see the great ocean, sailboats in the distance, with
the sun halfway hidden, it was simply a beautiful sunset.
___
...! Thank you very much! Thank you very much!
_! It's nothing, I hope you have a good night! (raising his hand from afar, with a farewell gesture)
I smiled a little.
What a beautiful family.
I opened the door to the house. I left the backpack next to the bed where I threw myself.
I had many to think about. Noah's true feelings, which subject to switch to, or the strange case of Lucian.
...I don't have the time or the will to worry about that.
I opened the panel which was now easier to open. And look at the skill I achieved.
[Pulse][any of your limbs can propel themselves]
… … Pulse!
Boom! Crash!
The moment I said it, I regretted it. I had ended up in the other corner of the house.
