Entering the Game with a Cheat Physique

Reason (2)

Reason (2)

This just doesn’t make any sense.

A student from the knight department, the magic department’s rival.

He’s saying he wants to attend a magic department lecture.

…What is going on, seriously?

“Are you out of your mind?”

A pretty harsh phrase slipped out before I knew it.

But it was the truth.

I’m not saying this because the Knight Department is my sworn enemy.

Truly, attending a class from another department at Olympia Academy is extremely dangerous.

“You know the academy’s vibe, right? Taking a class from another department is like—”

“Yeah. It’s basically suicide, just like you said.”

Sybil nodded, as if she understood what I meant.

Right.

Olympia Academy is an educational institution, so it has regulations for attending classes from other departments.

Supposedly, it’s for the sake of exchange and harmony between the two departments.

And that’s not all.

If you want, you can even transfer.

Even if you first entered the Magic Department, you can transfer to the Knight Department if you don’t like it.

But not a single student has ever used it.

Not a single one.

The reason is one.

‘You’d get targeted by your own department for doing that.’

It’s obvious.

Between two departments that are constantly at each other’s throats, trying to devour each other.

Let’s say a student shows up to take classes in the other department.

It’s obvious what will happen.

‘They’ll get the crap beaten out of them or get openly ostracized.’

Even the other department doesn’t like it.

It’s a loss for the student in every way.

The same goes for transfers.

If someone who used to be in the other department transfers to their department, they will absolutely not look at them favorably.

They’d probably just get openly ostracized in a different environment than before.

…Looking at it like this, you get the feeling that Olympia Academy has quite a few problems.

Anyway, Sybil’s decision is extremely dangerous.

“But… why?”

“…I learned a lot from our last fight.”

“What?”

I ask back, dumbfounded.

No, what the hell did you learn?

All I did was pummel you with my fists, right?

But Sybil shakes his head, as if he doesn’t see it that way.

“It was a long time. Days of constantly running errands under Apollo Simon. A hell I wanted to escape, but couldn’t.”

“……”

“I told myself I couldn’t, shut myself off from the start. But then a guy showed up, someone who broke that with his own power.”

“You’re saying that’s me?”

“Yes.”

Sybil’s eyes are sincere.

Seriously, he’s saying I became his guiding light.

“Apollo was a scion of a marquis family. His skills were top-notch too. An evil that no one could approach.”

“……”

“But you overcame it. You bled all over, yet still won. …Seeing that, I felt a lot.”

So he wants to learn from me.

He’s saying things like the Knight department or Magic department aren’t important.

He’s saying he’s interested in the individual, Herak Leonhardt. That’s what Sybil is telling me.

“……”

After listening to the story and thinking deeply, this was the answer I spat out.

“You gay?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Okay, good.”

I scratch the back of my head.

I don’t really like it, but if he’s made up his mind, I can’t really stop him.

He’s the one who will bear the responsibility, and all I have to do is teach with all my heart.

‘Well, I don’t know what he’ll learn from me though…’

If that guy admires me.

It wasn’t such a bad feeling, either.

“Alright. I’ll accept it.”

“Thanks.”

Sibil bows deeply again.

That made me feel awkwardly self-conscious.

*

The unexpected applicants, who I’d thought would end with Sibil, didn’t stop there.

“No… isn’t this a little much for you guys to be listening to?”

Red twin-tails.

Silvery ponytail.

The two heroines of ＜Sword and Magic Song＞, Irina and Isolet, had come to find me.

“Hmph. Got a problem with that?”

Irina grumbled.

She looked like she wasn’t exactly thrilled about taking my lecture, but her hand naturally held a pen and paper.

“They say the founder who created a new magic school is giving the lecture himself. Of course, we have to attend.”

“You’re a first-year.”

“Oh my, didn’t you hear? This new lecture is open to anyone regardless of their year.”

“……”

‘Who decided that?’

My head throbbed.

It was probably the director’s doing.

With her personality, she’d want to use every possible measure.

I understand being desperate, but even so, removing the grade restrictions like that…

“And what about you, Isolet?”

I turned my fire.

Isolet, who had been gracefully writing just like Irina, raised her head?

Her gentle smile belied a firm will.

There was no way this one would back down.

“Well, is there a problem with that?”

“Of course there is? You’re a first year and in the knight’s department. Taking my lectures is a poor choice.”

“Ah, if that’s what you’re worried about, don’t be. We’re already handling it fine.”

“What?”

What the hell is she talking about.

My eyes demanded an explanation, and Irina, with a smug look, opened her mouth.

“Hmph. Isolt and I are already marked. We’ve heard all kinds of crap about us being friendly with the other department.”

“Huh.”

“It’s been ages since we were on good terms with our own department, so taking one class won’t change a thing. Got it?”

…Something feels different though?

In the original story, the male and female leads did get entangled a lot, but they didn’t become friends this quickly.

They were of opposite s*xes, so it was harder for them to open up to each other.

But right now, Irina and Isolt are way too close.

Like there’s nothing holding them back, they’re always hanging out together.

I guess it’s because they’re both girls, but…

‘Isn’t it a bit much?’

These two aren’t, like, lesbians, are they…?

“So. You’ll accept us, right?”

“Tsk. Fine, do what you want.”

Well, there’s nothing I can do.

They’re so eager to take the class, it’d be cruel to reject them.

I accepted their applications.

I just hope no more troublesome students show up.

*

…Unfortunately, my wish was not granted.

Because Seris and Natalia, the top students of the 3rd and 4th years from the Magic Department, also came to apply.

‘Why the hell are upperclassmen taking my class?’

Shouldn’t you guys be thinking about getting jobs instead of taking this kind of thing?…

Anyway, after collecting all the applications.

I left the instructor’s office and stepped outside.

My footsteps felt light.

Since I defeated the Nemean Lion before.

After receiving the 【Lion’s Heart】 from Athena, my body was healthier than it had ever been.

‘Is this goodbye to magic insensitivity, then?’

A trait that had been dogging me ever since I first possessed this body.

But now it’s meaningless.

Not that I could learn swordsmanship or magic, but it was healed enough not to hinder my life.

“…….”

My steps had stopped before I knew it.

I’d arrived at the magic stone tower in the center of the Olympia Academy.

A newly placed magic stone was gleaming there.

Gazing at it, I was suddenly swept into a recollection of the past.

‘So the first act is over, huh.’

A lot of time had passed since my first possession.

The sudden possession, immediately facing Jackson’s gang.

I’d beaten them with the body’s cheat, then met the vice principal.

I’d heard the news about being expelled and prepared for the inter-grade exchange to prevent it.

After that, it was like a straight shot.

I defeated Jackson, I defeated Apollo, and I defeated the Nemean Lion.

In that process, I’d met various heroines and experienced many incidents.

And now I was about to stand on the podium again.

“Haha.”

Maybe I’m destined to be a teacher wherever I go.

But the feeling wasn’t bad, not at all.

I’d always thought it was my calling, but also because I had lingering attachments from my past life.

─Teacher. I, I’m scared.

One night.

That kid who came to me, trembling with anxiety.

The kid who’d asked for my help, worried that the students would fight.

“…….”

I couldn’t act then.

I feared that if I intervened rashly, things might escalate even further.

So, right now, we wait, watch until a better chance comes along.

Back then, I’d only just stepped into society.

I figured I couldn’t handle it fully on my own yet, so I held back.

That’s how I soothed and sent the girl student away, but.

“…after that, the shit hit the fan.”

A fight between the guy and the girl student.

The conflict escalated, someone got hurt, and in the end, she couldn’t go to the competition.

It was bitter.

If only I’d been a little bolder.

If only I hadn’t thought I was still clueless, that I needed to be more careful.

If I’d just trusted my own gut, and jumped in…

“What’s the point now.”

I shake my head.

It’s useless.

What’s past is gone.

I can’t even go back to the me from my previous life.

“But…it’s different now.”

This world is different.

After being possessed by Herac Leonhardt, I created the concept of a battle mage.

A new sacred force to shake up this academy, stained by the conflict between the knight and magic departments.

A talent handpicked by Dean Athena herself.

“Let’s do it.”

So.

Let’s try to solve that homework I couldn’t do in my past life.

That’s the resolve I solidified within.

Feeling like I’d finally found the reason I was possessed into this world.
