"What do you think?"
"Well, it's okay."
"So lukewarm!"
"Even if I am just awoken, it isn't like I don't know about the mage-knight schools, you know? I am not ignorant."
"I see..."
Somehow, Kurono could imagine that Isao forced himself to learn many things to stay alive, which somehow made her sad. "Anyway, it doesn't matter! Let's go to your room now!"
"Now?"
"Yup." Kurono nodded and said, "You don't have a place to go, right?"
"Well..." Isao had a place to go, but somehow, he decided not to say anything. "I got a room right away?"
"Don't underestimate me. Preparing two or three rooms is nothing for him. In this school, I have the highest authority."
"Is this so-called abuse of your authority?"
"As long as there is a benefit, why not, right?"
"You are right."
"Anyway, come in." Kurono smiled softly and said, "To be honest, it is usually impossible for one to stay in a single room alone since it is intended for two people, but you are a special case, and you have arrived at this school quite late."
"Thanks?"
"Don't thank me so early." Kurono looked at Isao and said, "I want you to show me the result. I have used my authority to let you join the school match to determine the participants of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. In that match, I want you to win.
"Win with an overwhelming power so that no one will say anything to you, okay? Show everyone that I am not wrong with my decision."
"I will." Isao nodded. "But don't forget to support me."
"I will." Kurono nodded and said, "If you want to, you can replicate everyone's ability in this school."
"Is that fine?"
"...."
Kurono blinked her eyes and asked, "Can you do that?"
"It should be easy for me."
"....."
Kurono blinked her eyes, then nodded. "Then, do that." If Isao could become stronger, then why not? Still, suddenly, she thought of a figure of her rival and said, "There is one more powerful Blazer in this school, but she is on a mission now. I will call you when she returns so you can replicate her Device."
"Thanks."
"No problem." Kurono shook her head softly since her purpose wasn't that of kindness either, as she wished for him to bring achievement to her school.
Hagun Academy was among several of the Mage Knight schools in the country.
At the same time, this school was also her alumnus and was also the reason why she became a director at a young age, especially when most directors were in their late 40s or early 50s.
When compared to those old farts, she was young.
Nevertheless, even though Isao appeared calm, he had to say that this school was massive, considering its location was in Tokyo, where all the land was premium. With its size comparable to ten Tokyo Domes, this place must have used a lot of money to create.
Yet, when Isao thought that it was used to teach the future generation of Blazers, who were also a country's core power on the international stage, the price was low.
Like in the world of "Mahouka," where the existence of a strong magician was necessary to become a deterrent, in this world was the same, the existence of a strong Blazer was necessary to become a deterrent to other countries and stop any terrorists that wanted to wreck a country and its people.
Frankly, this country was probably the most peaceful country in the world, as most countries, especially the developed ones, were tortured by many Blazers who became small kings in various areas of the world.
At the same time, Isao also knew how tense the relationship between countries in this world was, and it wouldn't be weird for a world war to happen once again.
If there was a reason why it didn't happen, it was because there was one strong Blazer who created an evil organization that made the two strongest factions in this world be in peace and work together to take down this character.
Rebellion.
This was the name of the organization, and frankly, the terrorist he had met previously was also part of this organization.
The goal of this organization was to destroy the society that thought Blazers should protect humans and to create their own paradise where the "chosen breed" (Blazers) would rule over the "inferior breed" (non-Blazers).
Frankly, if there was no such an organization, Isao could imagine that the Blazers would be treated as a weapon, a tool, like those magicians in the world of "Mahouka."
It was ironic, but if there was a reason why everyone could live in peace, it was all due to this terrorist organization.
Or rather, even if the leader of this terrorist organization passed away, Isao could imagine that many leaders of strong countries would join up together and control this organization from the dark so that peace could go on forever.
If it was before, a war might be able to bring something to the leader of many kingdoms, countries, empires, or many types of nations, but now, it is different. Technology has changed everything, and the safety of those leaders can't be guaranteed. Everyone could die, and even at the same time, the existence of Blazer, especially the strong one, couldn't be controlled by the weak.
Not everyone could be like Kurono, who decided to marry early and retire, making her own family, and then took a job as the director of the mage-knight school. The majority of strong Blazers would rob others, whether it was wealth or women; they would take everything until they were stopped.
Still, as he came to this world, he thought about doing something about the current situation, but he knew that this world's situation wasn't his priority. Instead, he should focus on getting stronger, especially when many worlds still needed his help.
Well, many might say that he was strong enough, but he knew that his strength wasn't enough.
How strong was his aim?
If possible, he wanted to become the universe's ruler.
Still, the problem of the world and his aspiration aside, Isao should focus on Kurono more as he had to say she had done a good job of helping him with many things. Not only did she help him to get out of prison, erasing all of his crimes, but she also prepared a place to live and many others for him.
'Now, I can rest.'
Isao then looked at the takeout foods the waitress had given him and was glad he had taken them. Still, if he wished to, he should be able to use the "Online Shopping" ability, but well, it didn't matter.
As it was a night, the school was quiet, and everyone should have gotten rest tonight, considering how late it was.
"Come in."
Nevertheless, Kurono welcomed him to his new place and even opened the door for him.
"Thanks."
Isao nodded and thanked Kurono sincerely, but when he entered, Kurono closed the door.
"Hmm?"
Isao looked at Kurono strangely and asked, "Aren't you going home?" He thought that she would leave him after he entered, but why the hell did this woman enter his place, too?
"I am not." Kurono shook her head and said with a mischievous smile, "I will stay here with you so you won't be lonely."
"....."
Isao tried to become a good person by not touching any married women anymore, but the world didn't allow him.

To be honest, I like this world since most of the chapters are about 1,200 words and are easy to write.
