chapter 109
109 – Homecoming (4)
Entering the academy?
The brain refuses to understand unexpected sounds.
You said you were going to join the academy just after watching that fight?
How many times do you ignore me before you start talking nonsense like that?
I’m so shocked that I can’t speak.
The remarks that followed were even more shocking.
“If you became this strong by entering the academy, I can become incredibly strong if I enter, right?”
He glanced at me at first,
I asked Kana in a voice full of ambition that I would soon surpass me.
But Kana could not easily answer that question.
It is true that when I entered school, I almost got into class C by doing pull-ups.
However, due to encountering the peculiarity of the characteristics and the Abyss Prison,
I was able to become as strong as I am now.
How foolish is Lin, who just dismisses this as admission to the academy?
“Hmm, that might be a bit difficult.”
“Yes?”
Instead of protecting Rin’s vain dreams, Kana
The cruel reality was revealed.
“Ron, how much time do you usually spend training?”
“Hmm, roughly ten hours?”
“Woah, ten hours!?”
If I focused solely on training without doing any sub-quests, I could do it for up to 12 hours.
Except for the time spent sleeping and eating,
It is no exaggeration to say that I poured a lot of effort into training.
In short, what I am today is not something I achieved through education at the academy alone.
Rather, since I didn’t take any classes, I guess you could say it’s a skill I achieved through hard work.
“It’s a joke, right? Yes?”
“I don’t know anything else, but I don’t play with life.”
No matter how much I hate her, in the end, Rin is her family.
Her younger brother’s life is at stake,
Why am I joking around?
“Considering what I just showed you, Class D must be difficult.”
“And the academy’s written exam is famous for being difficult.”
“No, written exam!”
Ah, that’s right.
Rin hated it because she always got cramps in her head when she studied.
Just looking at her simple calculations reminds her of young Rin who ran away because she was tired of it.
So, Rin took the entrance exam for her academy.
Even if she dies and wakes up, it is a dream that will not come true.
She shouted excitedly at first, but as she listened to our explanation, she gradually lost energy.
Cana was embarrassed by her appearance and comforted her to cheer her up.
“Well, the academy is a relative evaluation, so if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to get in.”
“Really?”
“Of course! “They say we had a hard time because we were called the golden generation.”
… This is the first time I’ve heard of the golden generation.
Definitely the hero Lily or a line equivalent to her.
Those two alone are great, but there are countless other students who are equally talented.
Perhaps if Rin entered school with me,
It would have fallen right away before even passing the threshold.
Then, as if she suddenly had a question, Rin, who was looking at me with her suspicious eyes, asked again.
“Then how did this person enter the school? “You definitely said it was the golden generation and all.”
“Unlike you, I have a good head.”
At the time, my written test score was perfect.
Even if I got the worst results in the practical exam, I was sure I would pass.
But there is no way that stupid Rin would get a perfect score like me.
“Then shall I at least tell you how to enroll unconditionally?”
“Is that true? “You can enroll unconditionally?”
“Of course. “I can’t tell you for free.”
Where in the world can there be anything free?
If you want something, it is the law of the world to give something in return.
Rin, startled by my words, cautiously opened her mouth with a slightly frightened look on her face.
“… “What can I give you?”
“It’s simple. Just say, ‘Please let me know, brother,’ and I will let you know.”
“… “Wow.”
I didn’t really vomit, but I guess I didn’t want to do it because it was that disgusting.
To be honest, I didn’t say this because I wanted to see Rin’s cuteness.
I just want Rin to see her hateful face.
Now, take your pick.
Pride or admission?
“Ah….”
“Hmm?”
“Oh, please tell me, brother.”
Yes, this is it! I wanted to see this.
Rin looks like she’s going to kill him with a blushing face.
I burst out laughing at the exquisite sight of shame and anger mixed together.
“Foot! Phew!”
“Stop laughing and tell me quickly! Right Now!”
“Ah, okay. My brother will tell you. Fuhuhuhu!”
For the time being, there was something to make fun of Rin for.
This alone was enough to return to her hometown after a long time.
She barely managed to control her emotions and whispered to Rin, who was glaring at her as if she were going to kill her, and told her the secret to getting into school.
“Listen carefully, the way to get into the academy with a 100% chance is….”
“The method.”
“You just need to transfer everything in the book into your head.”
“… “After all, isn’t that what you’re saying is to study?”
That’s the correct answer!
In the end, there was no shortcut to entering the academy.
From the beginning, there was no other way than just studying.
When she belatedly realized that she had been caught, her already bright red face became even redder.
“What’s wrong? “Maybe your brother can help you?”
“Get out of here, you crazy! “Do you think I will ever believe you again?”
In the end, out of shame, Lin ran home without looking back.
This is why I can’t stop bothering Rin.
It’s this much fun, so what else can catch your eye?
“Ron, you really….”
“It’s okay. “It’s not like I lied anyway.”
I think I’ll be able to sleep well for a while.
Or it’s so funny that I can’t sleep.

“Did you just see it? Ron uses magic….”
“Yes, I saw it too.”
The two people who saw Ron and Cana sparring were shocked.
He is a son who naturally uses magic, which he had never been taught.
Ordinary parents would think the academy is amazing,
The two people’s reactions seemed like they couldn’t believe reality.
That’s because Ron is the son of a woman without magic and a man who was damaged by magic.

“What did you just say?”
When she returned home, she left Rin behind, who had locked herself in her room.
The moment we were about to enter my room, her mother stopped us.
“So, your room is already being used as a storage room, so it’s hard to get in.”
As my mother explained, I opened the door that used to be my room and saw a pile of luggage packed in there.
About three months have passed since I left the village.
In that short period of time, she erased all traces of her son and used it as a warehouse.
An unbearable sense of betrayal slowly rises from deep within my heart.
“I’m sorry. “If only I had received the letter properly, this wouldn’t have happened.”
As she said that, her mother glared at her father with her fierce eyes.
My father, whose shoulders shrank at the look in his eyes, slightly averted his gaze,
He quietly drank his drink and ignored reality.
“Still, Rin’s room is spacious, so if we sleep together…” .”
“No!”
Quaang!
Rin peeked her face out through the crack in the door as if she had overheard the story and shouted loudly.
She closed the door again.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have teased it appropriately.
Even if I could have used my room in the first place, it was so small that only Zero and Kana would have been able to enter it.
“Would you like to give us a room first? “We can sleep in the living room.”
“… “I decline.”
I know this because I have been imbued with the spirit of an adult since I was young.
My parents are still as hot as newlyweds.
There is a high probability that they had s*x the day before we arrived.
Growing up in the room where my parents’ love affairs took place, what punishment is there?
I wonder if her mother thought she didn’t say it herself,
Her face blushed and she agreed with me.
“Master, how about we sleep in the living room?”
“Well, that’s…” .”
I don’t mind sleeping in the living room.
Instead, the problem is what Kanawa Zero will think.
First of all, since Zero suggested it first, it would be okay for Zero as well.
When Kana noticed my gaze,
She nodded, saying it didn’t matter to her.
When everyone agreed to sleep in the living room, their mother suddenly intervened and stopped them.
“That is absolutely not possible! “She let her guests sleep in the living room.”
“No, then where do you sleep?”
It’s not that I can’t understand my mother’s feelings, but
I ended up sleeping outside like this, but I guess the living room is good enough.
“So, um…. Ah!”
My mother, who was trying her best to think, must have remembered something.
She opened her mouth with a bright face and uttered a short word.
“Then, how about being indebted to the village chief? “There would be a room there.”
“It’s the village chief’s house…” .”
The largest house in Fuji Village.
That place is the home of the chief of Fuji Village.
We have even prepared a guest room in case guests visit, so we will definitely be happy to lend it to you.
He’s such a generous person that he won’t even show it.
However, the reason I am reluctant to accept my mother’s suggestion is not because I do not want to be indebted to the village chief.
‘If it were the village chief’s house, he would be there.’
The guy I hated the most in the village after I possessed him.
Geum Tae-yang was a villain with the title of son of the village chief.
I can’t let a guy like that meet Zero and Cana.
I would rather bury that guy in the ground before I owe him anything.
No, no matter how much of a bastard he is, he is the village chief’s only son.
He will definitely be sad the moment he disappears.
In that case, should he be sent somewhere far away?
It must be difficult as expected.
Can you suddenly send someone far away without preparing in advance?
‘What should I do?’
No matter how much I think about it, there is no conclusion.
Meanwhile, time continues to pass and night approaches.
“Ron, is there anything on your mind?”
Are you worried about me worrying?
He looked at me worriedly with a face like a wet cat.
“Master, I don’t know what you’re worried about. Please remember that I am always on your side.”
“That’s right. If you have a hard time, I will help you too!”
‘… I definitely have faith, but why am I so anxious?’
For some reason, I feel anxious, but
Since these two people say this, there is no need to worry.
“Okay, this time, let’s go take a moment to be indebted to the village chief.”
I’m only staying for a few days, so I wonder if there will be any problems.
But I don’t think something terrible will happen due to my complacent judgment.
I couldn’t even imagine it now.
