red hair.

The bright red three white eyes in the sharply raised eyes.

Even the unhealthy attire that has been shortened to the point where I wonder if it fits the school uniform.

My partner, Rachel, was a bastard girl with a bad impression no matter who looked at it. The actual personality was not significantly different. In the original story, it is said that he has a rough mouth and a soft heart, but honestly, it didn’t come to me very well.

“hi.”

Bright red eyes staring at me as I politely greeted her as she requested.

Then, with a small sneeze, he lay down on the desk and heard a small murmur.

“huh. No fun bastard.”

What the hell did he want me to do?

I asked him to say hello and he said that it wasn’t fun, so I don’t know what to do.

[It’s really not funny.]

‘Who is the Goddess on your side?’

[Well, of course I’m not on your side.]

It doesn’t look like that, but I decided to skip it for now.

By the way, does he want to go to sleep as soon as he sits down? Rachel was lying on her desk, observing quietly. A regular, low-pitched breathing sound.

I really started sleeping. He even snores a little while sleeping. I don’t think it’s been a minute since I fell on my face, but that’s probably the level of a novelty.

I decided not to wake him up. Anyway, it was obvious that I was going to sleep again, and if I had woken up for nothing, I would have only heard the noise again. I’ll wake up later when it’s time for class.

“Okay then, let’s start today’s class. First open the book…”

It was my mistake. She showed no sign of waking up when the class bell rang and the teacher came in.

The problem is that the teacher didn’t even wake Rachel like that and started the class.

Did you not see it? Or are you deliberately ignoring it?

Whatever the case, the class has started, and if this is the case, Rachel will skip the whole class and will not be able to keep up.

The academy is no ordinary school. It is a world of weak and strong food where you have to fight fiercely every day to get even a little better grades.

Of course, it’s her own choice, so it’s okay to pay a price for it, but it’d be better to wake her up if possible. It’s not that I didn’t fall asleep during class, I might have fallen asleep too deep and didn’t hear the class bell.

“Rachel. class started wake up.”

“Ummm…. Hmmm?”

Rachel frowned while muttering sleep talk. Reluctantly, I grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her slightly to wake her up.

“Yes···?”

“Woke up?”

“what. Why is Jinta in a dream…”

I’m still awake, so I’m muttering nonsense. Even that is not enough, it even touches my cheeks.

“yes?”

“there···. Will you stop?”

blinking eyes. The staring gaze was burdensome, so I tried to avoid it.

[Fufu. You are shy.]

‘Isn’t it strange to be okay with this situation?’

That was then. Perhaps it was only now that he realized that this was reality, Rachel’s expression hardened and her mouth twitched. And after that.

“Hey!!”

screamed. Like a slender girl who doesn’t fit her image.

Everyone in the class turned to this direction. The teacher, who was conducting the class, did not hide the discomfort, but coughed and pointed out.

“There are two people. If you talk about it one more time, I will ask you to leave immediately.”

“···sorry.”

why me? I didn’t do anything? I’m sorry…!

I looked to the side with a slight squint. Seeing Rachel in a state of embarrassment with her face flushing red, she sighed.

***

Fortunately, nothing special has happened since then.

In the afternoon after lunch, a short break before the next class begins.

Rachel, who was sitting next to me, looked at me and asked.

“hey. loser.”

“yes?”

“What is the next class?”

No, if I turn around right away, the timetable is wrong, so why are you asking me that?

I didn’t want to bother you, so I calmly answered.

“It’s Dalian.”

“Five. Honey.”

Rachel’s expression brightens immediately whether she liked the next class.

On the other hand, it was a class I didn’t like very much.

When it comes to the subject of ‘Dalian’, it is literally a practical class that confronts Dalian.

The whole class is to pair up two by one and conduct a match through magic on a one-on-one basis.

Time to fight legally with each other, not with boring theories. It was, of course, one of the best-rated classes for many students.

But for me it was different.

As I said before, the character ‘Crow Morris’ I possessed is an extra, and his combat power is also on the weak side.

If I simply do not use the power of the Goddess, I can safely say that I am the weakest in the class. No matter how I fight, it would be strange for me to like Dalian, where I almost lost.

But what do you do? It’s impossible to miss class, so you can only fight and lose like you normally do.

***

The Academy has a separate space called the Dalian Room.

We gathered there and listened to Dr. Robert, the teacher in charge of Dalian.

“As I said before, you should never get hurt during a fight. However, if such a situation arises, immediately stop the match and check the condition of your friend. Do you understand?”

“yes.”

After the clichés that seemed somewhat obvious were over, the teacher added an extra word, unlike usual.

“And starting today, you can use your personality magic in Dalian.”

“Wow!!”

Immediately, the bored children turned and cheered.

Personality magic is a very simple concept. Literally, it means magic that corresponds to the unique personality of a wizard.

In this worldview, magicians have a magic circuit. Magical circuits, like fingerprints, have different shapes and properties for each individual. Therefore, each wizard has its own unique magic that is best handled.

The opposite concept is called general magic, and it means magic that anyone can learn without any special restrictions.

As you can easily guess, my personality magic is ‘magic’. Cheating magic, such as flying pigeons or playing cards. Of course, it’s a magic that doesn’t really help in battle.

So, if I change to be able to use personality magic in Dalian, there is almost no benefit to me.

[Isn’t that too humble? You are an excellent wizard too.]

‘It’s about when the Goddess has the power. It’s not even night now.’

[Be a little more confident. Hey.]

Well. It seems to me that the Goddess trusts me too much. It’s only natural to be inexperienced in magic when it’s only been a month since you first became possessed.

“Next is Cro Morris.”

“uh?”

After thinking for a while, it was my turn. so fast?

“The opponent is layered.”

“yes.”

A boy who walks forward as soon as his name is called.

It’s a big deal. Why, after all, is it that guy?

A boy with brown hair and unusually holding a wooden sword.

He is the protagonist of this cartoon. His personality strengthens the body. In a world where everyone fights with magic, a classic yet attractive concept that cuts through enemies with a sword. Just looking at his abilities, he’s a guy that can’t be compared to the main character.

Unlike anyone who does magic or flirt.

It was like fighting the main character without moving. Even on the first day that personality magic was allowed.

At first glance, this is a cliché to be used as a combat power meter and thrown away.

[Be strong. This body is supporting you.]

‘Thank you for that.’

okay. Even if you’re the main character, you don’t get the support of the goddess, right?

I’m going to try my best to fight. I’d say it’s an extra’s delightful rebellion. It’s good if you win, and even if you lose, it’s the main battle. It’s the main character of the world, isn’t it strange to lose?

I went ahead and we stood facing each other.

“Cro. Please.”

“yes. I will try my best.”

A layered character with a good personality like the main character. After shaking hands in the spirit of fair play, the match began under the teacher’s judgment.

“Are you both ready? Then it begins.”

Beep! Dalian started with the sound of a whistle.

Layered immediately used magic to strengthen his body. Of course, I didn’t just stand still. First, he flew a trump card as a check, but it was immediately blocked by a swinging wooden sword.

But it’s used to distract attention.

I swung the rope and tied the opponent’s body.

“Suck!”

A layer that cuts the rope without difficulty. How do you cut it so cleanly with a wooden sword? I wonder if that’s too much

The guy jumped right in and approached whether he was going to have a quick match. And then the tip of the knife is pointed straight at my neck.

“This is it.”

“Is that so?”

“···What?”

slurp.

My figure disappears like a mirage. Layered in the sudden situation seemed to be embarrassed for a moment.

I took advantage of that gap and tried to attack from behind.

Ting!

It was blindly blocked.

In the end, the match ended as everyone expected.

“It is a victory for the layered.”

He sighed at the teacher’s blunt declaration.

phew. It’s not easy either.

I’ve tried my best, but it seems like it’s still too much.

[Still, wasn’t this pretty good? Cheer up.]

‘It is true.’

In the last move, I was thrilled for a moment, wondering if I would really win.

When he returned to his seat, he sat down and tried to recover the mana he had run out of.

Layered strode towards me.

‘yes? Are you trying to comfort me because I’m afraid?’

If that’s the case, then there’s no need to worry too much. It wasn’t unusual because the main character’s personality was so kind.

But contrary to my expectations, Layered’s expression was hardened.

As if planting is very uncomfortable. I couldn’t figure out what the heck it was.

“Why did you do that?”

“yes? What do you mean?”

“You don’t need to take the shichimi off. It’s not like I was watching you on purpose.”

[Oh my goodness.]

What the hell is this?
