CH 44

Carrying Zest in her cane form, I returned to the (Cat’s Ear Inn) with an exaggerated expression.

Ruina and Iris where outside awaiting my return.

I was reflexively overwhelmed with emotion and rushed towards them with tears in my eyes.

“(Bind)”

I was caught by Ruina’s magic.

My momentum died down as Iris gently caught me in a tender hug.

Though my face only was towards Ruina, I asked her a question.

“Why did you suddenly do this. . . .?”

“Welcome back, Nagi-chan. No,Because Nagi-chan is drenched with Linde-chan’s odor. It will dilute us.”

“That, Didn’t you accept my relationship with Linde allow this though?”

“That’s a different story~. A little while ago, jealousy has been growing inside me and I’ve been quite angry. So please help me vent it.”

“Noooooo!”

I was then brought onto a bed in the Inn, and was kept being bullied by Ruina and Iris all day. I seriously thought I was going to die. No, seriously.

I don’t think I will ever forget, Lucis’s with pity on her face and Zest’s face with her smirk.

—1 month later.

“Eh~~, For that reason. . .”

Today’s third period class is “Magical Enchantments” being taught by Mure-sensei.

Mure-sensei is a specialist in physical strengthening magic. Also her class is very popular among students, as it is an easy to understand class with practice.

“Alright, Then Nagi. Trying doing what I told you.”

“Okay.”

Mure-sesei grabbed my right hand and told me to concentrate magical power there only.

Then only that part of my hand was enveloped in something like an aura.

“Do you guys see now? This enchantment gives a part of your body magical power.If you use this enchantment, you will be able to fight in hand to hand combat, even if you are wizard. Your summer homework is to ingrain this spell into your mind.”

And with Mure-sensei’s talk, the class erupted with “Ehhh~~~!” complaint.

I made it look easy, but a high skill is needed. As it is a high technique. Ruina said it took her 40 days to get it down.

Incidentally, the physical strengthening enhancement is not a spell that needs a chant, but its own special technique which reinforces the body with magical power.

With this technique,even a girl’s soft hand can be used to destroy things like rock.Can also be used for protection purposes.

Wizards are usually bad at close quarters combat.Which is the reason for this technique. Of course warrior mains are a step above this though.

However in the case of Mure-sensei being a body strengthening specialist,It increases your melee fighting skill to a level at which even an ordinary warrior is no match, and people start to doubt that you’re a mage (according to Ruina)..(並大抵の戦士では相手にならないほどに肉弾戦を得意としておりもはや魔法使いであることを疑うレベルである(ルイーナ談)。)(TN:Meh cleaned.)

Now let’s return to the story.

“Nagi, you can return to your seat now.”

When Mure-sensei told me that, I was going to return to my seat. . . But then I felt a strong murder intent from the back of the classroom.

“(Fireball)”

And a quick fire arrow was unleashed towards me.

I quickly caught it with my right hand that was just strengthened.

“To react and catch it so quickly. . .  This may not be as easy as I thought.”

“(((Who did is there!?!)))”

When Mure-sesei,Lucis, and I looked at who shot the fire ball we saw a Lucis . . . But with pink hair, just silently standing there.
