Capítulo 22: Training
The next Monday, they finally came back to school. Shirotsuka Sanae was explaining about the roles. She chose to do this because it would be better for them to experience it themselves first before she explained it.
After all, without knowing how it works in real life, it would be hard for them to picture it in their heads with her explanation.
"When you're in the outside world, you'll usually go with a group of five. Each of you will have a role in the group: Vanguard, scout, support, and attackers.
"As a vanguard, do not think about taking the magical beasts' attacks alone. You can dodge the magical beasts' attacks, and you shouldn't spend much energy when fighting a magical beast. And if possible, you should also attack the magical beasts.
"As for scouts, although your main responsibility is to search for magical beasts nearby, there are two other jobs for you to do. Firstly, you need to scout for other monsters nearby. After all, if your group were to attract another group of magical beasts to your position, things may turn to the worst.
"So you need to keep track of your position, your team, and other magical beasts. The other thing you need to do is make an ambush toward the magical beasts that your group is currently fighting. You should not let your position get found out easily.
"As for supports… I don't have much to say. You should know that as a support, you need to support your entire team. You are the one who needs to have the perfect timing the most. Helping the vanguard in dealing with the magical beasts' attacks and assisting your team's attackers so the magical beasts wouldn't be able to block their attacks are a few examples of your duties.
"And lastly, attackers… All you need to do is to attack. Make sure you kill the magical beasts as soon as possible. And if possible, you shouldn't make a big move from the very beginning, as it might give away your group position and attract the magical beasts," Shirotsuka Sanae explained.
Everyone was taking notes. With all these categories, Ayaka glanced at Kai. He had performed everything, from vanguard, scout, to attacker. She then tried to recall how she fought, and it turned out that she only performed the role of attacker and support. Even her support role was only because of Kai's orders.
She began to contemplate. She was thinking, if she were to take that role, how would she do it? She might be able to pass with flying colors as an attacker, but for the other roles, she realized that she was pretty lacking.
She could fly if she had to scout the area, but she would most likely get spotted by the magical beasts since she pretty much had to be in the open when she did that.
She could act as a vanguard with her fire armor, but it was also pretty hard for her to do that. Fortunately, she might be able to become a support as she would only need to practice her timing.
Shirotsuka Sanae glanced at Kai when she was explaining all of this. Kai was an enigma. She couldn't understand him nor his actions. But she had a nostalgic feeling when she looked at him. She didn't know why, but this guy had a deep secret.
The class continued that way, and obviously, Katsuragi Takaki was glancing toward Ayaka and Kai from time to time. Kai didn't pay any attention to him.
A few more days of the theoretical class passed, and they once again arrived at the end of Thursday. They knew they would have a practical class once again.
"For tomorrow's practical class, we're not going to kill monsters again," Sanae told.
Everyone was astonished to hear that. They thought they were going to challenge those monsters again, and the students were pretty eager for their comebacks.
"For tomorrow, we'll still come to the gym. But instead of using the practice tubes, we'll train your physical bodies. Your bodies aren't developed yet, and when you fight in the outside world, you'll fight with your real bodies.
"Even if your minds are capable of killing the magical beasts, it would be a shame if your bodies can't keep up with you. So you will all train your bodies tomorrow. And we will do this every month. So every month, you will use practical tubes, then the second week, you will train your bodies. And the third week, you will use the practical tubes, while you will experience the outside world in the fourth week."
And finally, when Friday came, the youths also bloomed. Inside the gym, the women were wearing bloomers, which became a very pleasing sight for the guys.
Shirotsuka Sanae immediately explained it again, "Today, you'll partner up with your previous partner again. Although you won't need a group for today, it might be better to deepen your relationships with your partners since they'll be your partner for a year. All right, start with stretching. Ask your partner to help you with stretching."
When Katsuragi Takaki heard that, he couldn't believe it. He thought that he would be able to have some time together with Ayaka. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to get it because she would be too occupied with Kai.
Kai helped her do her warm-ups. Seeing the two perfect peaks under the pure white 'snow' and the bloomers that enhanced her attractiveness by several levels, Kai only looked at her with a casual face.
And she also helped him do his warm-ups. There were too many 'skinship' in these warm-ups, making Ayaka's face flush red.
Well, he wasn't a perverted guy who wanted to experience that kind of 'blessing', nor was he someone like Katsuragi Takaki, who was obsessed with her.
Kai treated her like a friend… maybe a closer one after that experience inside the practice tube.
"This will be our menu for today," Shirotsuka Sanae said while manipulating the wind with her magic. She used her wind magic to make a banner float in mid-air.
100-kilometer run
500 push-ups
500 sit-ups
500 pull-ups
5-kilometer run (With weight and without magic)
2 hours of continuous usage of magic
When everyone saw that, they were dumbfounded. They were wondering if this teacher wanted to kill them.
Looking at their dumbfounded looks, Sanae immediately explained. "You can use your magic power to help you with the runs, so I'm sure you'll be able to finish it within two or three hours. The time limit is four hours. You can rest if you manage to do it before the time limit is up.
"And those push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups will finish before you know it. After that, you'll run with a weight and without the support of your magic power. So, in this course, you need to rely on your physical abilities. Don't worry, I'll be lenient and let you off with twenty kilograms of weight.
"Back in my days, we needed to run with a fifty-kilogram weight. Since all of your bodies have yet to develop, I'll let you off with twenty kilograms. You should normally be able to finish this in one hour.
"And lastly, you'll need to use your magic for two consecutive hours. Don't worry, this training menu was made considering your ages and bodies. This isn't torture, but training to let you develop your ability.
"If you manage to do it every month… I won't give you a spoiler, so you can work hard to anticipate the result."
They facepalmed when they heard about the result. They cursed the teacher because of her explanation.
Ayaka looked at Kai and asked, "Should we compe-"
But before she finished her words, she suddenly remembered what she had promised to herself. She quickly corrected herself, "I mean, should we finish it together? It might improve our teamwork for next week."
Kai thought for a bit and nodded his head.
But suddenly, Katsuragi Takaki came once again. "Well, how about we compete in this class?"
He thought Ayaka would come once again and accepted it. With that, he would have a chance to have some time with Ayaka. Unfortunately, his expectation was betrayed.
After experiencing that harsh world, Ayaka had matured a bit. She didn't reply like how she did a week ago. Instead, she replied, "Competing is good, but too much competition is bad. The purpose of this class is for us to train our bodies, not to compete."
He was shocked by Ayaka's reply. He immediately tried to come up with a reason, "But a little competition like this might improve our motivation."
"Our motivation is good enough. If we're too eager to see who'll win or lose, we might end up doing too much and it will affect the result of the training. This training menu must have been made after a lot of considerations, so it wouldn't be good to do more," Ayaka replied.
"Wha-!" He couldn't believe what he heard. Ayaka kept denying his claims. He gritted his teeth while looking at Kai hatefully.
He wanted to taunt him, but he knew that it was a bad idea for him to do that. After all, it might affect Tasha Carter's impression of him.
He went away with rage. He didn't show it on his face, though. Shirotsuka Sanae glanced at Kai before looking at everyone, and announced out loud, "All right. We are starting now. First, a 100-kilometer run. You only need to run around the school for twenty times and come back to this place. Now, GO!"
With that signal, the class started running outside the gym. Ayaka looked at Kai and said, "Let's go."
Kai nodded, and both of them started running together.
Capítulo 23: Another Problem?
Kai and Ayaka started running. It was a pretty normal run until Kai felt something wrong. He was someone who didn't want to have much exposure, and that trained his skills to feel others' gazes on him. And at this time, he felt as though someone was watching him.
Kai suddenly took his headphones off.
"Kai?" Ayaka was confused by his action. It was abnormal to have Kai remove his headphones. She didn't know why, but she also felt something wrong when Kai took his headphones off.
Kai didn't answer her as he tried to focus on listening to his surroundings while running. And not long after, he suddenly picked up something.
"I see. So that is the guy I need to cripple. He doesn't seem like it, but he surely feels dangerous. I can't act now since the girl beside him is the Kudo Group's princess. I'll blow up his leg with this sniper after he finishes school," A guy on top of a huge tower said while using his binoculars to observe Kai and Ayaka.
Beside him was a huge sniper rifle powered by magic power. It also had a suppressor. It was a well-known weapon for assassination.
Kai immediately frowned when he heard that. Of course, he didn't notice the sniper rifle as the weapon didn't make a sound.
"Kai? For you to frown like this, did something happen?" Ayaka asked worriedly.
Kai shook his head. It seemed that this guy wasn't going to do something when Kai was completing the task from Shirotsuka Sanae. So until school was over, he would be fine. But he wouldn't put his headphones back.
"It's fine," Kai assured her while contemplating. He had no idea as to who wanted to cripple him. He was thinking about calling his sister, Tasha Carter, for help. He would request her to take him to that building with her space magic.
He was sure that Tasha would immediately be enraged if she heard this. But for safety reasons, he would still need her help. So, he was thinking about how to calm her down later.
Ayaka was looking at him with a worried expression this entire time. Looking at him, she knew there must be something wrong. After all, Kai didn't put his headphones back on.
They continued running with their magic power. Kai and Ayaka were running at 40 km/h. As a magician, they could run faster than that, but it still wouldn't exceed 60 km/h. But that alone made them pretty powerful compared to normal people.
They chose not to run that fast because they wanted to conserve energy. And around two hours later, they finally finished their long run. Some students finished earlier, but they were tired as hell.
They thought they could rest longer if they finished as soon as possible. But it was actually a bad idea, as they became like this after they finished. They were not sure whether they could fully recover before the time limit.
On the other hand, Kai and Ayaka just used their optimal speed to conserve their energy. When they arrived, Ayaka pulled him to the side.
"Kai, tell me honestly. There's something wrong, isn't there?" Ayaka asked.
"It's fine. You don't need to worry about it." Kai tried to assure her, but to no avail. Ayaka kept pressing him, and eventually, he sighed.
"There's a guy that seems to want to blow up my legs. I don't know who he is and why he wants to do this," Kai finally told her.
Ayaka was startled when she heard that. She never expected something like this as she asked, "Why? Do you have someone who wants your life or something?"
"Well, he just wants to cripple me, and not take my life. I don't know what he's planning, but I'm going to find out," Kai said.
"I'll ask my grandfather for help," Ayaka said. At first, she wanted to help him, but she knew that if there were to be even a single misstep, their lives would be in danger. She wasn't foolish enough to let Kai or herself die, even if it meant that she needed to rely on her grandfather. After all, it was more logical to ask for help in this situation.
But it was different for Kai. He didn't want to receive help from that geezer. Not because he was a fool, but because he couldn't afford to owe him a favor. After all, he knew Kai was Tasha Carter's younger brother. That alone made him think twice before owing someone a favor.
After all, they might use it for something unexpected. Of course, they could also ignore it, but if they did, they might also be targeted by those people. After all, with such a reputation, they would only get scorn from other people.
So, the best solution to this problem was to ask his sister for help. She could teleport them to that person and ambush him.
"But-!" Ayaka wanted to protest, but to no avail. She thought about calling her grandfather in secret, but she was afraid that Kai would hate her for that. After all, no matter what secret conversation they would have, Kai would be able to hear it since he took off his headphones.
She shook her head helplessly. She chose to believe in him. "Fine. I'll believe in you. But you can't get injured, all right? After all, we're part… partners," Ayaka voiced, blushing when she said the word 'partner'. She didn't know why, but it felt weird when she said that.
"Thanks." Kai nodded his head.
And finally, the time limit for the run had ended. They would need to do some more exercise. First, push-ups… The guys in the class started looking right and left, trying to behold a 'glorious' sight.
When they moved to the sit-ups, the guys who had a female partner looked at them with perverted eyes. After all, it came up and down right in front of them as they needed to hold their legs to help them.
When Ayaka looked at them, especially their perverted eyes, she twitched her eyebrows. She looked at Kai, whose eyes didn't have any trace of perverted thoughts. She also twitched her eyebrows at this.
She didn't know if she should be happy or not about Kai not having perverted thoughts on her. She was wondering if she didn't have a good figure or wasn't beautiful enough. But with her 82-58-79 body, she thought it wasn't that bad.
She somewhat hurt when Kai treated her like this. Even when she was helping him stretch, there was a lot of 'skinship,' but Kai just acted as he usually did.
"Kai, do you think I'm bea-" She suddenly stopped before she finished her words. She almost blurted out her thoughts.
No matter what other people said, she almost asked him whether she was beautiful or not. From others' perspectives, it was the same as flirting. She suddenly became too embarrassed to speak as her face suddenly became as red as a tomato.
Kai didn't understand her. But when he asked her, she glared at him. Once again, he couldn't understand her.
They finished their exercises and finally moved into the run with weight. It was a hard run. Surprisingly, Kai didn't break a sweat despite having that twenty-kilogram weight on him while running. He even asked her if she wanted him to take the weight.
Ayaka only rebuked him by asking, "Are you a monster?"
Kai then didn't ask her anymore and continued running. And after the session of two hours of continuously using magic, they were utterly exhausted.
Even though they were exhausted, Kai moved his body to find his sister, leaving Ayaka alone. He thought that if they delayed it even a little bit, they would be in a dangerous position.
Not long after, he found his sister. Well, they usually went back together, so they would meet sooner or later. But to see Kai suddenly come to her on his initiative, she was overwhelmed by emotions. After all, Kai had never done anything like this.
"Kai finally knows my efforts, and he's coming to me on his own initiative." She jumped toward him, trying to hug him. Unfortunately, Kai avoided her as usual, letting her pass him and fall to the ground.
"This isn't the time for that. I heard someone say he wants to blow up my legs," he said.
"What?" Tasha was baffled. But Kai wasn't someone who liked to joke with something like that, so she immediately became furious. "Who is he?"
"I need your help." Kai asked her to follow him. They were completely covered by the building, so the sniper wouldn't be able to spot them. He pointed his finger toward one of the tallest buildings. "You see that building? He is at the top of that building."
"Then it'll be easy. Let's go immediately." Tasha said.
Kai nodded, and they teleported to their target.
The sniper was trying to search for Kai's position since they should have finished the class and would leave the school at this time. But then, he suddenly felt killing intent from behind him.
"!!!"
He turned around, but it was too late.
"Argh!"
Kai cut his two legs while Tasha immediately destroyed his sniper.
"You, how did you come to this place?" the sniper asked with great difficulty as he was trying to hold back the pain.
"And why do you want to blow up my leg?" Kai asked with killing intent.
He was surprised to see killing intent like this from a student. He immediately recognized this particular killing intent as he felt that this Kai must have killed someone.
"How do you know?"
"If you don't even know how I know about it, then you're not qualified to ask me. Just answer my question," Kai asked casually.
"You won't be able to get anything from me."
Kai looked at his sister. She nodded her head and put her hand on the man's head.
"Argh!" the sniper suddenly screamed.
Tasha was using her lightning magic to torture him a little bit, but it seemed that her effort was futile.
The sniper only smiled and said, "You won't be able to get anything from me. ACTIVATE!"
When he said that, a magic circle appeared on the position of his heart. He suddenly spat out some blood and died.
