Chapter 82 Friendship
In the end, we went back to the classroom after that incident.
The reason was that Agnos and the rest of the class still wanted to hide the fact that they had beco able to use magic from class S. On top of that, they had just learnt how to use magic, so they still couldn’t use it proficiently. Back then, I was fired up and wanted to take revenge. However, as ti passed by, I cooled down. Once we reached the classroom, I pretty much no longer held any interest in class S. Of course, I still wouldn’t forgive them for making fun of Beatrice-san.
But that wasn’t sothing I should do, but sothing for Agnos and the rest to take care of. Rather than I, who only t them a few days ago, this issue should be resolved by people who have been under her care for a long ti. I only hoped that Agnos and the rest would be seen as equals by other people since they could use magic now and all. The ones who would struggle in the upstage are Agnos and the rest, but I was planning to do my best to support them. It’s just, I never expected I’d see all of the heroes at once in that situation.
Maybe it was luck on my side, but the only one who recognized was Kannazuki-senpai whom I had t beforehand; Shota and the rest didn’t appear to recognize . Well, that should be expected. I’m not fat and my face was hidden by the hood. Despite that, Kannazuki-senpai could recognize .
Yabai (She is truly the dangerous one)
As I was thinking about it, Beatrice-san ca back to the classroom.
By the way, I was the one who went to the infirmary and told Beatrice-san that we were going back to the class. However, when I was in the infirmary, Leon still hadn’t woken up.
「I’ve co back.」
「Ah, Beatrice-san.」
「Beatrice-neesan! Is Leon okay?」
After Agnos asked, Beatrice-san turned her head with a sad expression.
「He has woken up, but he wants to be alone for the rest of the day…」
「I see…」
At least he had woken up. Really, what’s wrong with Leon? I hope there’s sothing we can do for him, but….
「…Well, if he wants to be alone, then let’s leave him be for today. Then, about what we are going to do from now on … Beatrice-san, what about it?」
「Yes, it’s okay. To level up the students, it’ll be great if we have outdoor activities.」
「I see! That’s great!」
Actually, when I visited Beatrice-san, I seized the opportunity to inquire about a place other than the stadium to train. And then the conversation escalated to the topic of letting the students face monsters outside the academy, for which I also got her permission.
「Co on, shall we go outside at once.」
「Ah, Big bro, please wait for a second! Before leaving the campus, can we check on Leon ?」
「Eh? That’s … will it be okay?」
Just a mont ago, Beatrice-san said that Leon wanted to be alone…..
I didn’t know the exact situation, so I asked Beatrice-san.
「Indeed, he said he wanted to be alone, but so ti has passed since then. Therefore, I think it should be okay to see him briefly. And above all else, it’ll be more aningful if everyone who visits him rather than us.」
「That’s what she said. Well then, let’s stop by the infirmary before we go outside.」
「Thanks!」
Thus, we were to stop by the infirmary before heading outside.
◆◇◆
I――Leon Hardy was frightened. Because I’m keeping a secret from the rest of Class F.
That I am able to use magic.
People from class F were supposedly those who were the outcasts of society and outcasts were people who couldn’t use magic. Magic is an exceptional power that could defeat many people with trendous force without using swords or spears. Of course, magic is not everything, there are also incomparably strong people who wield swords or spears, but they’re only a handful. That’s precisely why it is so valuable to have people who could use magic, which allows an ordinary person to defeat their enemies in various countries. Perhaps, they are highly valued because the world is still embroiled in conflict.
anwhile, I who was born as the second son of Hardy household was able to manipulate all five attributes of magic for a long ti ago. My parents, who knew that I was the rarest five attribute wielder, were ecstatic. I was glad I could make my parents happy, so I studied magic a lot.
However, the foolish wasn’t aware of the danger that lood over And that is the existence of my twin elder brother. Despite my brother being able to manipulate two attributes, due to my presence, my older brother was always compared to .
As the next successor of the Hardy household, my older brother was always imrsed in studies and martial arts. However, with my existence, there were voices within the Hardy Household who believed that the next successor of Hardy Household should be .
And thus, my hellish days began.
The days where I had a specialized item to seal my magic placed on and got bullied under the pretext of training. For who couldn’t stand swords or spears, I could only back down. Under the pretext of Magic Training, I was tied up and used as a lab rat for receiving magic attacks.
Every day was filled with my bones being broken, my innards being torn, and my blood being spilled. And when I was about to die, the followers and mbers of the family loyal to him would heal my injuries and tornt once again. No matter how many apologies I uttered to him, it never reached my big brother’s ears.
Rather, he broke into a nasty smile and enjoyed my broken figure. It’s because I could use magic that I tasted that hell. I lost the hope to fight with magic, it’s just, I kept loathing my own self that could use magic better than most people.
And, in the end――I lost the ability to use magic completely.
Magic is, in essence, imagination. Magic is converting imagination into a shape, then realizing it into reality. To aid in the realization of magic into reality, there are interdiaries such as Aria, items. However, in the past, I could execute magic just by calling out the magic’s na. And soon, I beca afraid of it.
If I tried to use Magic, the hellish days would co to surface again…thinking thus, I couldn’t even muster my imagination to use magic. Magic is terrifying. That feeling had been engraved in my heart, leading to not being able to use magic.
「If I was there, Onii-san would … because I’m alive, I’ll destroy myself…」
As I’m drowning in my own dark thoughts, wishing I could just vanish――it was then while I was deep in thought.
「Ououououoo! You OK!? Leon!」
「You an idiot? This is an infirmary. Be quiet.」
「Are you okay?」
「Are you alright~?」
「For the ti being, I’m glad you have woken up.」
「’Coz you collapsed so suddenly, we all got shocked you know!」
「…Well, he looks fine for now.」
As soon as the infirmary door was opened, Agnos-kun and the rest…every mber of class F ca over to .
「W, why…」
「Why, you ask…We’re worried, so we ca to see.」
They went to such lengths to visit soone like .
「T, that’s … no need to care for soone like .」
「Ye idiot! Don’t say 『Soone like 』! There’s only one you, you know?」
「…」
「…I won’t say what happened. So? We’re going to go out of the academy for training…You coming, Leon?」
「O, outside the academy?」
As I tilted my neck in wonder, since we were training in the stadium just a mont ago, Bead-kun told so.
「I’m sure you saw it too, Leon, but we all beca able to use magic. At that ti, those class S folks ca…since we want to hide our cards, we’ll hold a training session outside while Seiichi-sensei watches us.」
「Those hateful fuckers were making fun of Beatrice-neesan, you know?! That’s why we’ll slap our power right into their face during the In-School Tournant.」
Apparently, sothing happened when I lost consciousness.
「I’m sure you know it, the In-School tournant is separated into boys team and girls team, 1 vs 1, and the team that has three wins cos out as the winner. However, because Saria and the rest enrolled, we now have enough mbers for the girls’ team, but we’re lacking a mber for boys’ team. Of course, we could participate with only four people, but it is a big risk. It’s fine as long as we get three wins, but…as shitty as our opponents might be, they’re still class S. We can’t fool ourselves.」
「That’s why, I hope you will participate too, Leon! Please! Lend us your power!」
「T, that’s! D, don’t lower your head to a person like !」
Not only Agnos, Blood, and even Bead, they bowed to .
「We want to pay those bastards back. I want them to know just how great our horoom teacher is. That’s why…please!」
「…」
To Agnos who pleaded to with his everything, I――.
「I, I … I can’t …! I, I can’t fight…!」
I refused him. Hearing such words from , Agnos-kun――.
「――I see. Well, can’t be helped! We only have to take all the wins! Don’t worry about it!」
Agnos-kun, smiled brilliantly to . Even though, even though I had refused to fight for the class――.
「Why … why, for soone like …」
「As.I.Said! Don’t get ek every ti!」
「Mugh!?」
Suddenly, Agnos-kun grabbed both of my arms with his hands and made gaze into his eyes.
「Look at my eyes! Then smile! Do you think we’ll ever lose!?」
「T, that’s…」
「Then don’t make a face as though we’re about to die! Listen, okay? Just watch over us!」
「!」
「Don’t give a shit about other people! Rather than them, just look at my cool figure and burn it into your mind!」
Agnos-kun said so to .
And then Blood-kun, looking troubled, opened his mouth.
「Hn. Well, you’ll laugh if you see Agnos. He’s an idiot after all.」
「The fuck you say!?」
『Leon, you only need to relax and watch our fight.』
Bead-kun too told that. There are people who care about a person like . Because I beca unable to use magic, even my parents pushed aside. That’s why they shouldn’t care for soone like . However, Agnos-kun and the others acknowledged . That’s why, look at us, they said.
Even so, the current couldn’t use magic. Even for soone like , there are people who properly watch over….
Having realized that, I couldn’t help but shed a tear.
「I’m glad~」
「Boys sure get heated over weird things」
「How envious. I want that kind of friendship too.」
「This should be what they call the beauty of n’s friendship. Wouldn’t it be too hard for us girls? That being said, this beautiful that exceeded the beauty of n’s friendship is…!」
It’s just, hearing the girls’ impression who overheard us made laugh unknowingly.
