***After the test was over, they met with the principal again to hear the results. Masaki announced with happiness that Kazuki was accepted as a new student at the school. Kazuki felt relieved and Shiori was happy for him. Subconsciously, Shiori hugged Kazuki tightly.Masaki was surprised by Shiori's action and, unable to contain his curiosity, he asked Shiori who Kazuki was to her. "Shiori-san, I was quite curious earlier. If I may ask, why is your attitude so different when you're with Kazuki?"Shiori replied with a happy smile, "Kazuki is my boyfriend!" Those words made Masaki a little surprised. Even though he had already had his own guess, he never expected that his guess would come true, but he immediately congratulated the two of them. "Ohh, I see... Congratulations to both of you...!"After that, Kazuki asked Masaki sensei, "When can I start school?"Turning towards Kazuki, Masaki sensei answered him lightly, "You will start your studies tomorrow, but for now, you may join th
After his introduction, Kazuki bowed slightly in respect. His enthusiastic introduction had made the students feel more at ease and fond of him."Nice to meet you, Igarashi-san~!" some of the students called out."We'll take good care of you~!" another group added.Hearing the welcoming calls from various corners of the classroom, Kazuki smiled back at them. The teacher, who noticed Kazuki's amiability and adaptability, was pleased to see this."Alright, kids, introductions are over! Igarashi-san will be in this class until graduation, so befriend him. He's a talented and athletic student, so you might learn a thing or two from him," the teacher announced, joking with the students.After assigning Kazuki to class 3-A, the students were surprised and overjoyed, especially Shiori, who was thrilled to be in the same class as Kazuki."Yeah! This is great news for our class~!!" one student exclaimed."We should invite him to do something fun!" another suggested.As they spoke, the girls in
*** At this time, when Kazuki was packing up some new books that he got when he entered this school before, Shiori suddenly came up to him. Kazuki who knew about it immediately turned towards the girl. Turned… Staring at her eyes that were looking at him as well, Kazuki also gave a thin smile that looked genuinely happy. Clenching her hands behind her body, Shiori asked Kazuki softly, “How was your first day activity, was it fun enough?” He who was putting all his books in then answered calmly, “It's quite fun, although there are some idiots who bother me, but they are just a bunch of weird bugs, I don't really think about it. Or I should say, this situation is much more enjoyable with some added emotion, which makes it full of joyful meaning.” Hearing those words, Shiori lowered her head while smiling with a blushing face, "I see... it's a good thing that you weren't bothered by that." “Are you worried about that?” "Right, I was worried about you." “Don't worry, I've experie
Shendo asked in a very threatening tone.Hearing that question, Kazuki remained calm and answered by stating all the facts, “It seems you already know that, huh? It may be true that I have tarnished your daughter, but you should know that it was your daughter who forced herself on me and not the other way around. So, correct your perception of it and understand it from a different perspective.”Kazuki wasn't surprised by this. He had thought about the consequences of what he did, even to the extent that maybe his relationship with Shiori was known by her father. If that happened, he had already prepared a counterattack to defend himself.He used the same method as when he confronted Sir Dawson, who asked him about it.The room was filled with tension as Shendo's threatening question hung in the air. Kazuki's response was calm, measured, and factual, but it only served to increase the tension in the room. Shendo's eyes narrowed as he listened to Kazuki's explanation, his expression gro
Stabilizing his emotions, he stared at Kazuki's face, and Shendo saw the confident expression of this young man. He recognized a similar expression from someone he knew very well...Shendo then asked, "...Can you really take responsibility for what you just said?"Kazuki calmly nodded with confidence. He already had some plans in mind.After a few moments of silence, Shendo sighed and nodded in understanding. "Hahhhh... If you say so, then it's fine. But all responsibility lies with you. You can't blame me for any consequences in the future.""No problem. We'll discuss this further over the phone," said Kazuki as he provided his phone number."...Okay..." Shendo was quite amazed at how the conversation had turned out.They finally came to the expected conclusion, although little did Shendo know that this would change his life forever.While Shendo pondered this, Kazuki heard footsteps approaching from outside the office.Kazuki also decided to return to his seat and sat there as if th
***Sruuptt~Cracks…Throw….Kazuki, who was casually walking home, was drinking a bottle of coffee while carrying several plastic bags of groceries.Earlier, after leaving the company building owned by the Shirasaki Group, he stopped by a nearby convenience store.Buying some groceries and a few bottles of coffee, he enjoyed his drink while leisurely walking towards the station across the wide river.As he drank his coffee, Kazuki pondered on the ways to help Shendo.“…Do I need to kill the opposing owner of the Shirasaki company?” he muttered.[…In my opinion, killing him can only be used as an option, and not the main option.]"I know that, that's why I'm thinking of a way."It was true that killing him would be easier for Kazuki, but it would only raise unnecessary suspicions and complicate the existing problem.Even if he could erase the traces of the murder, it would be difficult to eliminate the connection with him once he had declared that he would help Shendo save Shiori from
Ryuto, who heard that, looked at the sky quietly and replied, "Maybe you will laugh when you hear this. My dissertation was rejected by many of the best universities in the world because they said it didn't make sense. Even if they wanted to research it further, we would most likely make a breakthrough in existing technology. The reason I wanted to kill myself was...have you ever heard of reincarnation? Going to another world? Playing with swords and magic? That's my goal. I want to go there and get the power I've been looking for, namely magic."The young man who was sipping his drink immediately spit out all of his drink when he heard that explanation.“Pftttt~!! Hahahahahaha!! What's with that ambition of yours…” Kazuki laughed out loud when he heard those words for a few seconds before he returned to putting on a calm face.Perhaps for everyone else, the ambition pursued by Ryuto was sheer stupidity, but for Kazuki, who was a youth that could use magic power, the ambition possesse
*** At this moment, the political world of the Arthia Empire was in a state of terrifying turmoil within its capital city. Nivaria, the name of the Arthia Imperial Capital, was a magnificent city located in the center of the mainland, between the prairie and the coast with towering mountains nearby. The city was surrounded by a formidable wall, making it safe from enemy attacks, but it was in a state of crisis due to the ongoing war. With a total area of approximately 5000 square kilometers, the city was separated into many districts, with the central district being the main district that sustained the majority of the political, economic, and military power of the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Palace was also located in the central district. The city was famous for its beautiful and luxurious architecture, with magnificent buildings towering into the sky. Large parks and squares were scattered throughout the city, providing places for people to gather and socialize. However, the st
