I Didn't Even Want To Live, But God Forced Me To Reincarnate! Chapter 125: School Day 3!

At dinner after my second day of school, I told my parents on how I planned to visit my friends' dorm room and they didn't mind at all.

It seemed like Alt-nii often went over to Harvey's room, so he was also fine with it.

…As for the trip to the Capicastle with my friends, in which we were going to compare the two treasure chests… I need to work on that plan a bit more before bringing it up.

That night, I hardly could sleep, thinking about the two exciting lessons we were having the next day!

Magic and Physical Combat… Finally, I'd be able to take both of the cla.s.ses! The magic cla.s.s sounds exciting, and as for physical combat cla.s.s…

I need to be careful and pay close attention to what I'm going to be taught—I need to adopt the stances taught, rather than letting my style remain similar to Grabberton's.

After rolling about on the bed for a while, I finally fell asleep.

With the chirping sound of the birds and the warmth of the sunlight on my skin, I started my day the next morning.

Even if I tried to stay calm, people could still see the excitement in my eyes. They even teased me—and praised me for being so enthusiastic about school!

…which is perfectly fine, considering that I'm just a small child!! Being a child sure has its own benefits!!

I have to treasure each moment and make full use of the advantages of being a child before I'm a child no more. It's not like you'll be able to experience a second childhood!

Correction, this is my second childhood, though…

The moment cla.s.s started, Morgan-sensei instructed us to submit our choices through the holographic device provided.

Afterward, Morgan-sensei instructed us to separate into two groups: Group One was for those who selected either Physical Combat or Magic—or both, while Group Two is reserved for those who were only taking Elective.

For those who picked the combination of combat and elective—they were directed to Group One first.

Hence—I was separated from Iris.

Luca picked both Physical Combat and Magic just like me, while Kiri only chose Physical Combat, and Carbuncle—surprisingly, only chose Magic.

"If it's only physical combat, I could beat everyone with bare hands, so there is no need for me to learn it!" Carbuncle laughed, "but I will be there to observe the cla.s.s! I'll also go over to check on Little Sheep from time to time~"

That explains why she didn't choose physical combat… that's right, a dragon's raw strength far exceeds our own.

As for Kiri…

"My magic capability isn't that good. Besides, Father would want me to follow in his footsteps, so I'll just focus on my swordsmans.h.i.+p."

Actually, his line of thought isn't all that unreasonable, so I didn't question him—but for some reason, when I asked Carbuncle about her cla.s.s choice, Kiri suddenly stated his reason as soon as Carbuncle finished speaking.

Did he think I'd not think that through and would ask him? Oh well…

"Iris… will you be okay? n.o.body in our peer group is taking Elective other than you…"

I s.h.i.+fted my gaze towards Iris who timidly looked at us before starting to walk to Group Two.

"I will feel lonely, but it can't be helped…," Iris answered dejectedly.

My heart ached from seeing her lonely face, but it's true that it can't be helped…

Perhaps noticing my worried gaze, Iris quickly shook her head and forced herself to smile, "There are some of our other cla.s.smates in the Elective course, so I'm sure that I can get along well with them! Don't worry about me, Lyra! As the older one, I'll be embarra.s.sed if I make you worried for this reason."

…I forgot that Iris is one year older than me…

And since Iris went through the trouble of putting on such an act, I'd pretend that I'm not worried anymore.

We went our separate ways as Iris and the rest of Group Two went first—then Morgan-sensei returned to escort the members of Group One to a building that resembled the Colosseum where my brother had fought against Carbuncle.

However, this other colosseum seemed to be specialized for cla.s.ses—as there were several floors—or layers of fighting grounds—that could be used simultaneously. Yup, it wasn't an open arena with the audience area like the Colosseum.

Since this is our first time here, everyone (including me) couldn't help but look up, down, left, and right—admiring the building's structure.

We walked up the stairs by two levels before Morgan-sensei led us to the fighting grounds. There, I saw two familiar figures… but could I have mistaken?

My eyes blinked several times at the two familiar figures in front of me.

By then, Morgan-sensei had said several words to the two figures and bid us farewell.

After coming close to these two figures, it seemed that my eyes didn't fail me!

The two figures—they really were Keith-sensei and Normsensei!!

A musclehead and a magic-addict teacher… what a bad match… that's why I didn't believe my eyes at first.

"Welcome, future warriors!"

"Welcome, future magicians!"

The two extended their hands in a sync—oh hey, so my initial thought of them bickering like cats and dogs might be wrong!

"You may have known us from the entrance exam the other day, but let us reintroduce ourselves. I'm Keith, and I will be in charge of the special cla.s.s students' physical combat lessons. For those who practice swordsmans.h.i.+p or fencing, you're automatically under my wings. For other weapons, do not worry—there are specialized tutors here who will train you in your preferred weapon of choice!"

Keith-sensei opened the speech and introduced the physical combat lesson's know-how. In other words, Keith-sensei must be the "overseer" for all physical combat training, right?

I guess it won't be good for him who only understand swordsmans.h.i.+p and fencing to be instructing archery, too. Physical combat training is quite complicated in how there are so many weapon choices.

"I'm Norma, and I will be in charge of the special cla.s.s students' magic lessons. My strongest magic attributes are [Fire] and [Earth], but I will be able to tutor you in different styles of magic just fine. However, my style focuses on aggressive attacking, so those with offensive style will be able to benefit more from my examples. There will be other tutors just in case, so there is no need to worry. I'm looking forward to seeing your unpolished gems turn into beautiful jewels!"

Miss Norma seems to in charge of the magic lessons here.

I'm not sure if I should just change the way I address her to be "Normsensei" or not, but I guess I will just say whichever crosses my mind. It doesn't really make any difference, I think!

"As for the theoretical side of things, you will also learn them as a part of this training," Miss Norma added.

I just realized how the two of them mentioned that they are in charge of the special cla.s.ses' lessons—in other words, all of the special cla.s.ses—from S1 to S4—will encounter them?

It just so happens that the cla.s.ses are held on different days—that's how they're able to manage the schedule, huh?

I guess special cla.s.s is indeed "special".

As we listened to their explanations—we were told how we'd be able to take all three lessons today.

To put it simply, there are different batches for different periods of time, and it's only mandatory for us to partic.i.p.ate in a single batch—for the rest of the time, we're free to decide.

So, I can take the magic lesson first and then physical combat lesson later on.

Some allocated their time to taste each lesson—physical combat first, then the magic lesson, and lastly, take one elective!

I'm not sure if they just want to acquire average skills in each one of the lessons, or if they're overly ambitious…

There are also some who decided to take only one lesson for the whole day—in other words, practice magic all day. Practice makes perfect, I guess they all have that kind of mindset.

As for me, I decided to take the magic lesson first, and then physical combat later.

I feel bad for not accompanying Iris even though I can—but honestly, I'm not that interested in any of the Elective choices.

I also don't want to force myself to learn something that I'm not interested in, if I have a say in deciding it. That's how I'm determined to spend this second life.

"Before we separate the cla.s.s into two factions here—Keith, are you ready?"

"Haha, that should be my line! I bet I'm going to beat you!"

…Just now, I sensed a bit of hostility between the two of them—it was really surprising, as I was just beginning to think they were on good terms with each other.

...And just what were they going to do??
