Izumi and Shun, who washed in the stream, start to get dressed again. Shun is wearing more luxurious and black clothes compared to Izumi. Izumi, on the other hand, has put on her clothes that match her dark ember-toned hair that she dusted off, and put her gold bag in her pocket.
So you really don't remember anything? That's meaningless. Izumi nods in confirmation. Does your family know about this situation?Maybe they know the reason. Izumi looks at the ground and thinks. My family? Shun smiles slightly but doesn't answer.
After a while of silence, Shun suddenly speaks. Oh right! We have to reach the academy in an hour. Izumi asks in confusion. The academy? Shun is not used to Izumi's lost memory, so he forgot to explain it.
The academy is a school or a place like the military where we warriors train. We have a few friends there too, but you forgot of course. Shun starts to walk towards the ironblood and waits for Izumi to follow him.
Izumi follows him and they start walking side by side in silence. They pass through the town, Izumi looks around with hope that maybe he will remember. The mud ground has started to harden and turn into stone as it progresses.
Finally, we have arrived. When Izumi raises her head up, she sees a building that is wide but not very tall. Come on, let's go inside, we have 10 minutes! Shun, who holds Izumi's hand, drags her directly inside and takes him to one of the rooms.
Izumi starts to examine the room she entered. The room looks like a classroom and the tables are for two people. The class is not very big. Come on, this is our seat! Izumi sits in the back left corner with Shun. Now that you don't remember, I will have to introduce everyone to you again.
Shun points to a boy with long black hair sitting in the front with his finger. The boy with his hair tied up there is Miyata. You can say that he is a swordsman at his age. He only gets along well with his classmate Toshio. Shun points to a boy with orange hair and a strange style of clothing sitting next to Miyata.
Toshio is more polite and easy to get along with compared to Miyata. It's safe to say that there's no one in the class who doesn't like him. When Toshio hears the sound of his own name, he looks towards where the sound is coming from. His eyes are focused on Izumi's eyes. Then he lets out a slight smile and continues talking to Miyata.
The person sitting next to us is Akari. He's good at martial arts and is one of the strongest in the class. In fact, since we're the only ones left, we can all be said to be strong. Shun ends his sentence with a funny chuckle, and a boy with blue hair and blue eyes sitting in front of them looks at Izumi with cold eyes.
Izumi feels uncomfortable. Ehm... Did I do something wrong...? Shun's expression turns serious for a moment, but he regains his composure. The people sitting in front of us are Natsuki and Aiko. Natsuki, maybe because of her blue hair, has always been number one in ice mana since she started the academy. Aiko, on the other hand, can use weak-level fire mana, but she is stronger than she looks.
Despite hearing their names from Shun's voice, Natsuki and Aiko do not make an effort to meet. Hm... It seems like there are only two people left. Izumi widens her eyes. Only two? Why are there so few of us despite the class being so big? Shun smiles gently. I said we are the only ones left. Izumi tilts his head to the side with a surprised expression. The rest are dead.
Izumi's eyes widen a little more. This warrior role she had chosen back in the day was more dangerous than it seemed. He was only 11 years old. If it was really such a dangerous profession, how many more years would she be able to live? I see. Everyone stopped chatting with each other when a tall man with neat black hair entered.
Izumi approaches Shun to ask something by whispering in his ear. Is this man our teacher? Shun answers without turning to Izumi. Yes. Our temporary teacher is Sawako Sensei. He is not very good at using mana so he has been giving us weapons training for about a year. Akari who fights without weapons is of course not very happy about this situation. Sawako Sensei clears his throat to prepare to speak.
Good morning today-. Sawako's voice is cut off by the knock on the door. Come in. Two girls enter, one with black hair and blue eyes, the other with brown hair and green eyes. Sorry sensei, we're late. When the black-haired girl apologizes, Sawako scolds them and sends them to their tables. Anyways now... Today is Wednesday, so we will be doing mana studies with you. For this, I brought Enma Sensei with me again.
A dark-skinned, red-haired woman enters. Her physique is quite attractive and her lips are pink.
Hey everyone! Sawako has handed over the class to me so that I can do mana studies with you today. Can I take everyone out for this? Everyone in the class stands up to go out.
Shun quickly goes first and Izumi slowly gets up from the row. As he approaches the door to leave the classroom, Sawako Sensei puts his arm in front of Izumi, preventing her from passing. Izumi. Didn't you hear what Enma Sensei said? This class is only for those who can transform mana into matter. Izumi is left immobilized by Sawako's words.
