Chapter 57: Practice

“Good morning…”

“Good morning”

“Mm”

I was awakened by Sophie and brought to school. I don’t mind getting up early to hunt monsters, but it’s hard to get up to study.

“Then I will start the class.”

And the four days of school life were about to begin again.

“Today’s class ends here”

“””Thank you very much”””

And today, all the lessons of the day are over, and after school has arrived.

“Then let’s go Claudia”

“Yes!”

And since classes such as magic class have started today, the practice area can be used. Today’s magic lesson was as simple as hitting targets in the same way as in the exam.

“Miss Claudia, please relax more.”

“Yes!”

“Collect magical power here.”

“Yes!”

“She doesn’t need us, right?” (Zeros)

“Mm…”

We were teaching magic to Claudia at the shooting range. At first, I and Shana were also teaching, but I couldn’t put into words what I wanted to convey, and Shana doesn’t speak much from beginning so had a hard time teaching.  Sophie was too good at teaching. That’s why she’s mostly teaching her alone.

“Zero ni-san! Let’s go get a practice sword”

“Okay”

After interrupting the teaching, Sophie went to get a practice sword with me. I can go get a practice sword by myself, right?

“Zero ni-san, please stand over there for a moment.”

“Around here?”

“Yes, It’s okay there”

I walked to the place where Sophie pointed her finger. It’s about 10 meters away from Sophie.

“Then, Miss Claudia, just as I taught you, please treat Zero as the target and release the magic.”

“Eh!? It’s dangerous!”

“For my brother it’s okay. Look. Fire Arrow.”

“Whoa! Hey!”

Sophie suddenly cast a spell on me. I was a little surprised, but I slashed them all with the practice sword and erased them. It was a bit hard because there were 5 of them.

“Sophie! What are you doing suddenly!”

“I wanted a target to cast magic.”

“Huh! Then you can make it with magic!”

“I wanted a target that would move like in the exam.”

“Hmm!”

It’s hard to complain because it’s logical. And since I was interested in the silent Claudia from a while ago, I looked at her.

“Eh …? Why … he slashed magic … Eh ??”

Claudia was in turmoil. Well, it’s certainly insane …

“If it’s Zero ni-san he’ll have no problems with your magic, so feel free to go wild.”

“Yes, I understand …”

She let go of her confusion and began.

“Fireball”

“Wind ball”

“Stone ball”

“Water ball”

And I just kept moving and slashing at the magic as it came out. At first I complained to Sophie, but this was actually good practice for me. Whenever I do something like this with Sophie, she always shoots her magic at the place I don’t want it the most, at the time I don’t want it the most., but Claudia casts with just the right amount of variation.

“Already … my limit …”

And after tens of minutes, Claudia seems to have run out of MP.

“Thank you for your hard work” (Sophie)

“Good job” (Zeros)

“Hmm”

“Oh, thank you”

“The accuracy and power of your magic is getting better and better.” (Zeros)

“Really!?”

“Yes”

And by receiving the magic directly, I became able to understand what was wrong and what was good and was able to give advice. Sophie acted as an interpreter to tell her what I couldn’t put into words. Did Sophie read this far and tell me to take on her magic?

“Let’s end here today”

“I’m really thankful to you”

“No problem” (Zeros)

“Let’s go home” (Sophie)

“Oh, I’ll return the practice sword first.” (Zeros)

“I’ll go with you.”

“I’m fine”

“No, I’ll go with you”

“Wind enchantment”

“Ah”

I had to use the wind enchantment to shake off Sophie. I’m always with Sophie except when I sleep, in the bathroom and in the bath. Sophie should be separated from her brother for a while, so I went to return the simulated sword alone. However, when shopping with Wallace and others, she was obediently separated, but what was the reason? If she knew the reason, would Sophie be closer to leaving her brother?”

“Fu …”

” Adolfo-kun”

“Yes?”

“You taught Claudia magic.”

“Oh, yes”

“Thank you”

“No”

Then when I returned the practice sword to its original place, the deputy school director spoke to me.

“It’s true that we teachers should be the ones teaching …”

“Huh?”

“No, nothing. Please continue to grow with your friends.”

“Um, I understand …”

“Then go home safely”

“Good bye…”

What was that all about? But this was not the time to think about it. If I was even a little late, Sophie would get angry. So I hurriedly left the training ground.

“Zero ni-san, you’re late”

“Sorry”

“Let’s go home”

“Yeah”

Then I went home with Sophie, who was waiting in front of the school gate.
