Chapter 74

Using the provided glossary, here’s the translated text:

After using the teleportation magic circle, we arrived in the industrial district. Once we exited the building, we went down the hill heading toward Klaus’ workshop.

“Does Ilmera know Klaus as well?”

“He’s someone who’s helped me out too. Remember I mentioned catching a wild boar? He’s the one who bought it from me back then.”

It seems like Ilmera and the German faction get along really well.

In contrast, France…

“I can imagine him telling us to bring all the bears at once next time.”

“Yeah, he probably would. But this time it’s safe since I was the one who caught it… Ah, this is it, here.”

When we arrived at the same building as before, Ilmera knocked on the door. A moment later, the door creaked open.

“Huh? Is that young miss from Henselht? And Tsukasa too, isn’t it? And then… who’s this other person?”

Klaus looked us all over.

“Hiya! Glad to see you’re doing well. This is Yuika, a classmate of mine.”

“Hello.”

Yuika gave a little bow and greeted him.

“Yes, hello. Is there something you need? Ah, Tsukasa, let’s hold off on the bear for a bit. I’ve finally found somewhere to sell it, you see.”

Klaus greeted Yuika politely like a teacher then turned to look at me.

“Understood. It’s not urgent, so whenever is fine.”

“Alrighty. So what’s the matter? I thought you came about that, but it’s something else, right?”

“Sorry, but we need to add one more bear.”

“Huh? You caught another one already?”

Klaus looked dumbfounded.

“Not me. Her.”

I pointed to Ilmera, who smirked proudly.

“You… it was a Grizzly Bear, right?”

“Yep. It didn’t stand a chance.”

It really was one-sided, now that I think about it. The bear had almost escaped in the end…

“Okay. So you’re asking me to sell it?”

“Please do. You said you found somewhere to sell it, right? Could you mention we also have another one?”

“Maaaybe… fine, just bring it in then.”

Klaus let us in.

“Sorry for the trouble.”

I apologized just in case.

“Eh, it’s no big deal since my part is just to put in a word. Still, I didn’t expect you to bring another bear within a week.”

“That’s because Ilmera heard about us hunting and decided to take action. Guess you could say we’re just here to assist today.”

“Competition, eh… Alright, let’s see it then.”

Encouraged by Klaus, Ilmerra brought out the bear she had caught.

“Yeah, it’s a Grizzly Bear… fatal blow right to the head, huh?”

Klaus began inspecting it.

“I hit it with my spear when it tried to run away during the battle.”

“Got it. Nice work! Still, it should sell no problem. I’ll put in a word for you, and I’ll let you know once it’s arranged.”

“Thank you! Alright, let’s head back!”

With our task complete, we left Klaus’ workshop and made our way back to the academy. After returning to the academy through the transfer magic circle, we approached the split leading to the boys’ and girls’ dormitories.

“Thanks for today. That was quite the date, wasn’t it?”

Not really what I’d call a romantic date…

“I didn’t do anything.”

After all, it was Ilmera who caught the bear, and Yuika who took down the wolves. I guess you could say we were just strolling through the forest.

“Want to head over to the training grounds now?”

“Hold up. Isn’t class still in session?”

“That’s right…”

“You guys seem pretty satisfied, huh? That’s good.”

Though I don’t understand this thing about the magnetic pull of magic, it appears we achieved our objective.

“Hmm… there’s probably someone who’s bound to complain.”

“Yeah, Toko would definitely have something to say. Actually, she might lose her temper, wouldn’t she?”

Toko…

She was saying something yesterday, wasn’t she? I think she was alright with it after some money changed hands though…

“I’m calling it a day. I’ve got plans this weekend anyway.”

I’ve got the study session and herb-collecting with Sharl.

More to the point, I already told Toko I wouldn’t be tagging along.

“Should we keep her company?”

“Makes sense, doesn’t it? Toko usually acts like a proper young lady, but once she’s in battle, she drops a ton of foul language, right? She clearly loves combat.”

Besides, that’s who she truly is. Once in a fight, her inner nature takes over and she fully gets into it.

“She’s definitely a combat-oriented type of wizard… Remember that time during practice I tried dodging Toko’s attacks, and she kept clicking her tongue in frustration?”

That girl’s got a temper, alright…

“Toko… could she still be sulking after losing to the president?”

“Is she not trying for a rematch?”

“She wouldn’t. Actually, the president would outright reject a rematch. Based on the last duel, Toko would definitely win the next time.”

Nope, she flat-out said she wouldn’t fight anymore.

“Still, the president’s limit was clear. Toko excels both in magic and martial arts, so she can adapt and respond.”

“Speaking of which, could you beat the president?”

“Not if she uses that special skill…”

“Oh, I see.”

Please, stop asking about how to beat Sharl….

“All this is a bit confusing, but could you maybe go with La Folle to the woods on Saturday?”

“Seems that way, huh?”

“Maybe it’d be best not to tell anyone that Ilmera caught the bear?”

True…

Even I could just not say anything when I get home too.

“Impossible. With how eager she is to brag, there’s no way to stop her. This feeling—it’s uncontrollable…!”

Ilmera clutched her chest as if regretful.

“Ah, right…”

Sedric sure has a great eye for people…

“I understand how she feels, but… I think it’s fine. So, I’m going to go back and read some manga now.”

“I think I’ll go to bed… I guess.”

“I’ll wait outside Toko’s room.”

Geez…

Pretty high probability I’ll be accosted at my room by Toko…

“See you tomorrow then.”

“Yeah. See ya!”

“Indeed. Thank you for today.”

After saying goodbye to the two of them, I headed up to the boys’ dormitory. Once I got home, I read manga and passed the time till evening.

Of course, Toko showed up at my room and complained as expected.

Thank you very much for reading.

Status: Ongoing Type: Author: , Released: 2024 Native Language: Japanese
Nagase Tsukasa, born into a prestigious family of modern-day wizards, had immense magic power from birth but could only use magic to strengthen his physical abilities. Resigned to the fact that he couldn’t become a proper wizard, Tsukasa decided to live an ordinary life as a regular person. However, Tsukasa wasn’t particularly bright. When applying for high school he aimed low and took the entrance exam for a backup school, but he slacked off and played around too much, resulting in him failing the exam and becoming a NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). As Tsukasa awkwardly navigated his way through the new school year, he accidentally ended up wearing a cursed bracelet that would kill him if left alone. The curse was so powerful that even his mother, a skilled curse breaker, couldn’t lift it. To remove the bracelet he had two options; cut off his arm, or use his immense magic power to break the curse. Thus Tsukasa enrolled in a modern magic academy in a parallel world to learn the curse-breaking magic he needed. And so began Tsukasa’s carefree school life, where his only talents were his magic power and martial arts skills.
