chapter 5
First Night (illustration added)
“It’s pretty cold.”
The wind at night time running towards dawn was very chilly.
With nothing supported underneath, only a thin shirt and a jacket were draped over it.
Of course, the jacket wasn’t that thick either.
“Still, it wasn’t that there was no harvest…isn’t it bad?”
It wasn’t a good thing to walk around the premises during the night when everyone else was sleeping, but I was able to walk towards the dormitory with satisfaction as it was not easy.
“I have registered for the weight room… I have to prepare for classes starting tomorrow… I have a lot of things to do.”
The exercise facilities provided in the academy are B+.
There are facilities that can help even B+ who have the talent to become SSS.
At least A- to A+ exercise equipment that can grow.
Of course, that is a number that can only be achieved if talent is supported, but at least when discussing talent in the field of strength, it was convenient to think that it was not.
“No matter where you look in the world, there is no way you can find SSS-level talent.”
Even S alone is considered to be a prime number beyond a rare one, and SS can be counted with one hand beyond a prime number.
SSS, if you say two things, your mouth hurts.
So, I arrived in front of the dormitory, excited and happy, and in front of me stood a woman with white hair fluttering in the cold wind of the night air.
“Hey~!~!”
“…Wow! Natasha?”
As soon as she saw me, it was Natasha who ran a distance of several tens of meters from a distance and rushed into my arms.
A moderately heavy shock started from the chest and spread to the whole body, but the needlessly strong body did not sway to that extent.
I asked with a bewildered face while gently hugging Natasha, who ran away.
“What are you doing here at this hour? How far is the female dormitory?”
Of course, the distance between the male dormitory and the female dormitory is quite large.
It must be the Academy’s guidelines that we can’t see young men and women in their growing years getting tangled up.
Furthermore, during the night, the security of the wall blocking the dormitory is strengthened.
‘I can’t deceive the security guard at any level, but…well, is it weird to block the kid in front of me?’
Natasha.

Just like me because she is a commoner, like Heize, the original owner of this body, she is just Natasha without a last name.
Contrary to her common name, Natasha’s talent is that of a warrior.
It’s an all-rounder-hyung’s talent that can be said to be the real thing among the real ones.
Of course, it wouldn’t be too strange to deceive the attention of someone who was only a security guard for the academy, and even entered the grounds of the men’s dormitory.
“I came to see my friend~”
“…are you going to see me tomorrow?”
“still! When I think of what my one and only friend went through today… I can’t help but worry, right?”
“…that’s right.”
I feel like my back hurts when I hear that.
Following the beating of the back of the head by the princess’s limbs, meeting with Walpurgis, etc.
Considering what had happened throughout the day, it was only natural for Natasha to do that.
Of course, Natasha doesn’t know anything about Walpurgis.
“It’s cold, are you waiting here?”
“yes? No, wait in the room… No no no. Yes, I’ve been waiting here.”
“It must be cold… I saw your face, so go back. Will you see me tomorrow?”
“…hehe, huh!”
Natasha’s dark eyes gleamed like obsidian as she smiled and smiled brightly as if the natural saying of seeing tomorrow is so good.
His long gray hair, which shook dizzyingly every time he nodded, was mysterious as if he contained everything.
As if possessed by my eyes and head, I suddenly came to my senses.
ugh-
I took off my jacket and held it in Natasha’s hand, gently pushing Natasha, who was smiling brightly in my arms.
Natasha, who took turns looking at my jacket and me, tilted her head.
“….This?”
“It’s a jacket. can you see I’m going up now… Natasha You have to run again, right? The night air was very cold. Give it back tomorrow morning.”
“…Yes, thank you, Heize. Giving you a gift like this.”
It’s not a gift, but if I don’t have it, I have to go to the academy tomorrow wearing only a t-shirt?
Natasha, who seemed to have accepted something strange, grabbed my jacket and punched her in the face.
Seeing Natasha blushing while breathing in and exhaling, I felt a strange feeling for some reason, so I blushed and saw Natasha off.
“…let’s go now. Darker, before it gets colder.”
“Hehe, Heize is not good enough.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Of course. Heize has been like this since she was a child… So I will protect Heize.”
“What?”
protects
That said, there isn’t much of a case in Ardian Academy.
‘…Is it an invasion event? No, that must have been a long time ago, right?’
One of the trials for the main character to become stronger was the invasion event towards the academy.
However, as we just entered the second semester of our freshman year, it wasn’t something that would happen, and even if it happened, Natasha would never know.
So when I asked, Natasha asked if she really didn’t know.
“You really don’t know?”
“….I don’t know.”
“It’s Heize too~”
….I feel really bad.
As expected, the word Heize- was kind of stupid, and he seemed to think he didn’t know, so I wanted to say something, but I had to keep my mouth shut.
“There was such a flashy riot today, can’t we just leave Heize alone from tomorrow, right?”
“….ah.”
There was a splendid riot – the moment I heard those words, I remembered my first memory today.
The first moment of waking up from fainting with memories of the past.
It was the first moment I entered the game ‘Shinma Wars’, so there was no way I couldn’t remember it.
And based on past memories, etc., I really realized that I was a gem.
“…I must be hating all three of the Academy’s top powers?”
“yes! I haven’t been any more stupid though!”
“Thank you.”
“Hey, no words!”
Leaving behind the now-accustomed foolish treatment, I frowned slightly.
Three of the best academy factions I have turned into enemies.
commoners, aristocrats, and imperialists.
After joining the common people group with excellent muscle strength, he fell for the trick to make him a nobleman and betrayed him to the noble class, realizing that he was useless, and was used as a scrapping board to scratch the pride of the imperial class.
‘…that’s me, Heize.’
He hated all three of the Academy’s representative factions, so it was clear what the academy life would be like in the future.
As Natasha said, you should be worried about tomorrow.
But Natasha, holding her jacket in front of me, clenched her fists with a determined face.
“Heize trusts me. I’ll protect Heize.”
“…Yes, thank you, Natasha. It’s late, so hurry up.”
“Would you like to see Heize go in?”
“…Then see you tomorrow.”
That stubborn, but I can’t hate you.
Natasha, whom I only saw on the monitor, caring for me and giving me for myself.
It was really nice to see.
Anyway, knowing that my stubbornness would never go as long as I was here, I shook my head and waved into the dormitory.
bum bum-
After passing through the dark hallways and stairs, I arrived at my room on the 4th floor.
Due to the nature of the dormitory, which decreases by one floor every time a grade goes up, I, a first-year student, was assigned a room on the 4th floor, which is the top.
thud-
Opening the magical dorm door, entering the room and closing the door, I frowned at the cold wind.
“…it’s cold. Didn’t you close the window?”
A cold wind blows through the wide open window.
The room was very cold, as if it had been a refrigerator.
“heater.”
Whoops-
Turn on the heater magic that makes the room warm.
Kick- Clap!
After closing the window, I put a latch on it so it wouldn’t open.
“Whoa, it’s getting warmer now.”
The room was warmed by the heater magic, and when even the windows that let in cold air were closed, the cold room became warm in an instant.
“….tired.”
Being dragged into the world of the game is not enough. From the first day, he meets the Great Witch and makes a deal, and from tomorrow onwards, he has to spend until the 4th grade with the entire academy as an enemy.
Thinking of that fact already gave me goosebumps, but now it was time to sleep.
A one-room dormitory room with only a bed, a desk, and a chair.
Considering that it gets bigger as you get better or your grades go up, and the number of furniture increases, it could be said that it was the lowest class room, but now it was better than any luxury hotel suite.
Looking at the neat desk with nothing on it, I threw myself onto the bed as it was.
full-
As I felt the softness of the mattress gently sucking me in, I felt Suma rushing in.
“…Let’s worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.”
The fatigue of the day experienced as a young 15-year-old made it impossible to hold on to my mind any longer.
That’s how the first day of the game ‘Shinma War’ came to an end.
*
“one two three four. The fire is out.”
Natasha, who was counting the floors of the dormitory while tapping her fingers in rhythm, smiled brightly.
It was because the light in the room on the 4th floor, which was the only one that had been turned on, had gone out.
“Hey, you are sleeping.”
Hayes.
He couldn’t think of anything other than Heize who had just entered.
No, precisely.
“Because that’s Heize’s room.”
It was only because Natasha knew well that it was Heize’s room.
“…Heize’s handkerchief. It’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!”
An ordinary handkerchief in her hand.
It was already dry, but it was the same handkerchief that Heize had wiped off the cold sweat.
Natasha’s face, blushing as she buried her face in the handkerchief soaked with Heize’s scent, was a little bit maddened.
But for a while.
“From the jacket to the handkerchief. It’s sad today, but I’m happy~”
When he heard that a senior member of the Imperial Family had hit Heize in the back of the head, it was Natasha who even thought of wiping them out.
But Natasha, who barely knew her own shortcomings, barely erased it, but felt all her anger and irritation vanish when she got the handkerchief and the jacket attached to it.
Natasha, who was giggling and smiling all over the place, looked like a girl suitable for her age.
Quiet- Quiet-
Hearing the rustling of leaves in the cool night wind, Natasha moved on.
“Handkerchief, jacket, handkerchief, jacket, handkerchief, jacket.”
Natasha, who was walking towards the dormitory while rubbing her face against the handkerchief and jacket, muttering incomprehensible words, stopped right in place and looked straight at Heize’s room.
“… it smelled like Mr. Peña.”
The smell he smelled during the day that had permeated Heize’s body until late at night.
Natasha, who did not hide her displeasure at him, once again buried her face in the handkerchief and jacket.
“The bad smell should be erased with the haze smell. Let’s not doubt Hayes. Let’s not doubt Hayes.”
Natasha, who had her face buried in her handkerchief and jacket for a long time as if trying to dye the smell of Peña she smelled with that of Heize, turned her head to look at the Academy Main Building in the distance.
The main building of the Academy, which is large but so far away, only looks blurry.
Natasha, who looked at it as if she was looking at it right in front of her, muttered with a cold face.
“…I will protect Heize. If it touches anyone, don’t leave it alone. I’ll write it all down. When I get stronger… I will pay you back.”
Natasha ran towards the women’s dormitory with the intention of stopping everyone who was bothering Heize, who would suffer in the second semester, which will begin in earnest from tomorrow, and writing down everything if they were strong.
Naturally, the security guard who was watching between the men’s and women’s dormitories did not know what had passed.
So the first night of the second semester at Ardian Academy was over.
