The next day,
Akira wanted to go back to the Dungeon and enter the 9th floor, but was followed by someone, Aya.
Aya asked the principal for permission to complete a mission and accepted a mission at the Adventurer's Guild with other adventurers to fight monsters in the Level 90 Forest.
While going to the Adventurer's Guild, Aya saw Akira walking somewhere. Aya followed him, as he had already skipped school for two days, even though he was a freshman. Aya became suspicious of him.
Aya asked Akira, "Akira, where have you been? You haven't been to school for two days." Akira, "I'm sick, hiding my illness, but I went to the Dungeon to level up and become a strong adventurer."
Aya said, "Hmm, he's sick. No wonder he looked sick during the exam, which tested his magical energy ability using the ball of light."
Aya wondered why he couldn't go to school. "Aya, what are you going to do now, Akira? I'm going shopping to buy ingredients to practice cooking." I won't be going to school today, hehe. I'm still a little sick, so please keep this a secret, Aya.
"Okay, Aya, I'll keep it a secret. I'll go first, see you later," Akira said with a sweet smile. Akira's face flushed with embarrassment because Aya was so attentive to him. Akira decided to just shop and not go to the Dungeon and enter the 9th floor.
"Yosh, it's morning, time to go to the Dungeon and enter the 9th floor," Akira said.
"Hmm... I think someone's following me from behind, and it turns out it's Aya," Akira thought to himself.
"Akira's expression is shocked and scared, asking me I haven't been to school for two days. Is she going to be mad at me?" Akira said, afraid of being found out.
"So it's you, Aya, following me again. It just surprised me."
"Hehe, sorry, I didn't follow you on purpose. I was curious why you weren't at school," Aya said.
"Eh, I've been feeling dizzy lately," Akira said, explaining that she couldn't go to school because she was sick.
"Oh, so that's how it is," Aya said.
"May I ask, Aya? Why aren't you in school?" Akira said.
"I asked the principal for permission to complete a mission and accepted a mission at the Adventurer's Guild to fight a level 90 monster in the Forest," Aya said.
"When I went to the Adventurer's Guild, I happened to see you walking somewhere. I followed you around, wondering why you hadn't been to school for two days."
"You're a new student at this Magic Academy," Aya said, her expression slightly annoyed.
"My expression is a little annoyed now, because Akira has only been at the Magic Academy for a few days and is already skipping school." Aya thought to herself.
"So I'm suspicious of you, Akira, you idiot!" Aya said.
"I wanted to ask you, where have you been since you weren't at school?"
"Hmm, so that's how it is. Eeee... I've been feeling dizzy, that's why I haven't been to school," Akira said.
"I actually went to the Dungeon to level up and become a strong adventurer," Akira thought to himself.
"I thought he looked sick during the light ball magic energy test," Aya thought to herself.
"Hey, you're sick. I want you to heal me with my Healing Light skill so you can get better quickly and go back to school tomorrow. Hmmm!" Aya said, her face turning red with embarrassment.
"Hmm... no need, Aya. I'm feeling a little better now. Thank you for your offer. I'm feeling a little dizzy today, but I'll be fine by tomorrow, and I'll definitely go to school tomorrow," Akira said.
"Let me ask you one more thing: what are you doing today?" Aya said.
"I'm going shopping to buy ingredients for my cooking lesson," Akira said.
"I'm not going to school today, hehe. I'm still a little sick, so please keep this a secret, Aya," Akira said.
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret, because you've been special to me since we first met. I'm going now, see you later, A Ki Ra-kun," Aya said, her sweet smile staring at Akira's face, causing Akira to blush in embarrassment.
"Eeee hehe, he's so attentive to me, I'm embarrassed," Akira said to himself.
"Bye, Aya!! Good luck!! You can definitely defeat that monster!" Akira said.
Akira encouraged Aya, and she returned it with a sweet smile of her own. Aya also felt embarrassed hearing Akira's encouragement.
"Yosh, I decided to go shopping instead of going to the dungeon and entering the 9th floor," Akira said.
"A few minutes later, after shopping,"
Akira returned home and cooked a delicious meal popular in Japan. He studied a magic book for a while. I stayed home all day, eating onigiri: rice balls filled with various fish, meat, or vegetables, wrapped in seaweed.
Akira also studied a level 100 magic book. He found it on the 8th floor after defeating the Griffon monster. This magic book is called Celestial Grimoire and contains the strongest skill, Divine Light Blast: a powerful attack that uses divine light to destroy enemies. This skill can also cause death.
Without realizing it, it was almost nighttime. I stayed home all day, learning new skills so I could use them later, hehe. It was time for bed.
"Good night."
