A Fresh Start Part 1

Eaten, chewed, dismembered, and burned.

Arcazam engulfed in flames. In his nightmares, Nozomu fought against the giant dragon and kept getting killed. Death that arrives easily, repeatedly falling into intense pain, weakness, and emptiness.

"Ugh......!"

There is no point in thinking about the difference in power. But still, at the very least, he won't give up his heart and soul.

With that in mind, he resists the feeling of emptiness that envelops his entire being every time he dies.

And when he comes to his senses, the figure of a giant dragon appears before his eyes once again.

The dragon looks down at Nozomu with a loathsome expression, and then attacks again. Facing a one-sided battle that could end at any moment, he still raised his sword in an attempt to fight back......

[Oi Nozomu, what are you doing!?]

A strong, loud voice echoed in his mind. Immediately after, he felt as if he were being pulled out of the water and was illuminated by a dazzling light. In the blinding light, Arcazam, which was engulfed in flames, disappeared along with the giant dragon.

His consciousness rapidly awakens. What was seen beyond the light was .......

"Uwaaaa!"

Nozomu suddenly regained consciousness accompanied by a scream that echoed in his ears.

In front of him was a boy clad in the uniform of the Soluminati Academy who fell on his butt. There is a threat looming toward him with a large, gooey, unnerving mouth spread wide.

It is a demonic beast called a Blob, whose mucus-like body is lifted up and attacks him as though trying to engulf him. Basically, it is an aquatic creature that grows on nutrients in the water, but larger ones come to land to seek higher nutritional value. This included large creatures, including humans.

Nozomu reflexively jumped in front of the boy and unsheathed his beloved katana, [Mumei], which he carried at his waist.

With a single, precise strike, he cleaved the Blob in two with the very nucleus inside its body.

After the nucleus was severed, the Blob trembled and then collapsed with a splashing sound.

"Phew......."

He exhaled and looked around the dimly lit surroundings. The torch flames and magical lights illuminated the waterway, which had an arched ceiling. They are in the underground canal of Arcazam. The time is early in the morning.

"Nozomu, are you okay?"

Irisdina rushed to Nozomu's side after he defeated the Blob.

Behind her, her best friend, Tima, and Mars, who is in the same class as Nozomu, were following her.

"Yeah, sorry Iris, I was spacing out."

"That doesn't sound like you. What's wrong?"

"That guy, was bothering me a little......."

Hearing Nozomu's implied words, her expression turned grim for a moment, followed by a melancholy one.

Tiamat, the Dragon King.

An extraordinarily great calamity that Nozomu has been forced to face. If released, it is an existence that could bring fatal disasters not only to Arcazam, but also to the entire continent of Arkmel.

"......Are you, alright?"

"Hm? Yeah, it's all good now."

Irisdina's expression remained stiff in contrast to Nozomu, who sheathed his katana in a nonchalant manner. Because she knew that in such situations, he often left out the words [for now].

At the same time, she bit her lip slightly, feeling frustrated and helpless.

Even if she knew what was going on, Irisdina had no way to solve Nozomu's problem.

Her frustration and anxiety stirred in her heart.

"Yeah, I would have said more if you hadn't."

Tima smiled back at the apologetic Irisdina, and Mars waved his hand placidly.

"But, Mars-kun, you could have said it a little nicer."

"Aa? No way. If they, who only just arrived this year, are doing too well, it's about time things would get to their heads......"

"But there should be a better way to say it ...... right?"

Tima smiled and intimidated Mars, who had no intention of correcting his misleading use of words.

Mars broke out in a cold sweat and replied in a trembling voice, "I-I'll be more careful.......". They have been training together often since the Rugato incident, and recently they seem to be getting even closer.

Irisdina's mouth relaxed a little upon seeing them, but her expression immediately stiffened and she peeked at Nozomu, who was standing beside her. Seeing the glint of worry in her eyes, he smiled wryly.

"You don't have to worry about me either...... but well, thanks for getting mad for my sake, Iris."

She was indeed a bit excessive, but her words were made out of consideration for Nozomu.

Nozomu himself understands this. That's why he is so grateful. Irisdina, who had been glancing at Nozomu's face, was finally relieved when she heard those words.

"......Thank goodness. Well then, let's proceed."

The group then began to go deeper into the waterway to continue their investigation.
