55 – First Day of sses


    Trantor: Saitama-sensei Editor:Ryunakama


    The day afterpleting Arti’s sword, in other words, the first day of academy sses.


    After sending Saria and RunRun to the nursery, I head towards the ssroom together with Shiro and Fluffy.


    Basically, I wanted to skip sses today.


    However, during the guidance at the entrance ceremony, we were told to attend the first week of homeroom.


    And today was the very first day of sses and also the first week of homeroom.


    「Good morning, Will! The sses begin today」


    「Yeah, are you looking forward to it, Rosetta?」


    「Yes, I am! Are you not looking forward to it, Will?」


    「Well, I’m not really sure」


    It is quite difficult to tell Rosetta, who is super motivated, that I was trying to skip sses.


    「I am looking forward to it!」Tina said.


    「Yea, me too」Rosetta agreed.


    「Yes!」


    Rosetta and Tina were smiling.


    Both of them seemed to be diligent in taking the sses.


    「Rosetta, which sses are you nning to take?」


    「Let’s see, I n on the close quarterbat ssー」


    Rosetta and Tina were discussing about that.


    They might be hoping to take the same ss.


    The two have been reading through the avable sybus table all week long, apparently.


    I, on the other hand, had even forgotten about the existence of the sybus table.


    「Which sses do you n to take, Will?」


    I can’t just tell them I wanted to skip sses.


    However, it doesn’t really matter. They would find out soon enough anyways.


    I have no other choice but to tell the truth.


    「…I n to take the end-of-semester exam properly」


    「…I see, as expected of Will」


    「I see, if it’s Will, you can get through with that alone」


    Tina and Rosetta seemed to have understood.


    A short whileter, the homeroom began.


    The homeroom today simply conveyed basic important points.


    Once the homeroom ends, everyone headed towards their own sses.


    By the way, Arti had already skipped the very first homeroom itself.


    I headed back to my dorm room without taking the sses, in order to create weapons.


    「I should… focus on armours too」


    Armour requires much more materials than weapons.


    There are also many other aspects to be considered when creating armour.


    It should not inhibit movements, and has to guarantee solid defence.


    「Enhancing armours bought from a store would suffice for now」


    For now, let’s focus on creating weapons.


    While thinking that, I continued with weapon creation.


    Since I had already created a short sword, I decided to create a one-handed long sword.


    Afterpleting the one-handed long sword, I also wish to create a two-handed sword, axe,nce, bow and such.


    I am specialized in handling all sorts of weapons. It is only limited by my imagination.


    If I could make fine weapons, I would like to give them to Rosetta and Tina too.


    Weapon production might be something thates naturally to me.


    After defeating the Beast of Cmity, I would like to cease being a mage, and take on cksmithing.


    While thinking about that, Ipleted the core of the one-handed sword.


    「Guess I’ll take a break before making the sword de」


    My short sword and Arti’s sword; creating these two swords, has improved my manufacturing skills considerably.


    I did not use up all my energy creating the core of the one-handed sword, like I did on the first day.


    After taking a little break, I can still maintain my concentration and create the sword de on the same day itself.


    I returned to the living room where Fluffy and Shiro were.


    「MeeeMee」


    Shiro rushed towards me joyfully.


    Shiro seemed to have been ying with Fluffy, while I was still working in the weapon manufacturing room.


    「Shiro, thanks for being a good boy. Fluffy too, thank you for ying with Shiro」


    「Mee」「Pigii」


    As I held up Shiro, a voice rang out from the Transceiver Bracelet.


    1


    『Is this a good time?』


    It was Xenovia’s voice.


    She must be taking into consideration the possibility of someone else being around me. Therefore, she does not use honorifics.


    「Yes, it is okay」「Meeee」


    Shiro cried out happily after hearing Xenovia’s voice.


    『…Come to the President Office asap』


    Xenovia only said that much and ended the call.


    「Did she see through the fact that I was skipping ss?」


    Nevertheless, that doesn’t warrant getting angry over.


    「Mee?」


    Shiro was looking at me as though wanting to ask「What happened?」.


    「Xenovia wants me to go to her ce. It might be something important since she even used the Transceiver Bracelet」


    「Mee!」


    I lowered Shiro on to the floor, and started moving towards the Presidents Office.


    Shiro happily ran after me, as I trotted along.


    Fluffy on the other hand, skilfully hopped around following after me.


    Fluffy’s movement speed might be on par with Shiro.


    We arrived in front of the Presidents Office in no time.


    Xenovia should be aware that I had reached her room.


    However, unlikest time, she didn’t open the door.


    In other words, there were people other than Xenovia in the room.


    Therefore, I politely knocked on the door.


    ーーKnockKnock


    「This is Will Wolms」


    「You can enter」


    「Excuse me」


    I slowly opened the door.


    I conducted myself with polite behaviour as an ordinary student would.


    However……


    「MeeeeMeeeeMeeee」


    As soon as I opened the door, Shiro vigorously rushed into the President Office.


    He ran up to Xenovia who was sitting on the couch, while crying out happily and energetically.


    And then, Shiro hopped on to Xenovia’sp.
