Chapter 62 - Somebody please answer me.

Editor: imsara

I got a great idea.

See? Don’t tell me I’m losing.

I stayed up until midnight to think about my practical skills class, which I was worried about, in order to make it to the next day’s class, and I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I had an idea.

After all, you can’t come up with a good idea if you don’t sleep well.

That’s how the “Magic Shooting (Precision Class)” class came about.

It’s a highly difficult class where you have to shoot accurately at a distant target with a certain amount of power.

I tried to play the clunker in this first class, but unfortunately I was interrupted by a crow-like bird. My power was wrecked, and I missed the target beautifully, but my remote control of the stone crushers was highly praised.

I promised myself that I wouldn’t make the same mistake, and I’ve been slowly and painstakingly fumbling my way through it since then, but not today. I have a secret plan.

Ta-da! The magic gun is the one I pulled out.

I’m not going to be the only one who can do this. Why do you use it today?

Grandpa-sensei looked at the magic gun sullenly. I usually let my copy of Haruto C. carry it, and I myself had never used it in class.

”I felt my magic power was limited…”

I gathered my anguish to my brow (I acted like it).

“No, no, you have a rare skill that allows you to control magic remotely. Your power and accuracy will improve with rigorous training in this class.”

”No, no, my magic level is 2. There’s no way I can do anything more than that.”

“No, no, don’t despise yourself so much. You are young. There’s plenty of potential left for you.”

“No, no, my magic level hasn’t changed since I was born. I can’t overturn the laws of the world with effort.”

“No, no, no, no, no”

“Anyway!　This is the hidden treasure of our Zenphis family. With this, even I, a magic level 2, will be able to keep up with this class.”

Forcing me to terminate it, I waved my magic gun confidently.

Hmmm. The moment I woke up after a good night’s sleep, I came up with a brilliant plan.

It was simply “I’ve got a great tool, I’m not great, but I’m awesome! Operation.”

If I’m good enough that I don’t have to go to class, it’s because the tool is awesome, not me. But, since I’m the only one who can use that amazing tool (let’s call it that), it makes me feel like I’m still special and don’t need to attend class.

I’m about to show off my magic gun to the students.

I’m going to show you the performance of my magic gun. I’m sure you’ve never heard of such a treasure in the Zenith frontier county.

A neat-faced, silver-haired male student came up to me. Who is it?

“We haven’t spoken a word to each other before. My name is Alexei Guberg. Fourth year, nice to meet you.”

I didn’t recognize the handsome man, who was smiling but not smiling in his eyes, but I did recognize his low-pitched, good-looking voice.

The guy from ‘1’!

He was the most important man in the mysterious masked student group “Numbers”. From the looks of it, he’s a handsome man who is soft-spoken and exudes a grave intimidation. He must be very popular. And yet he’s so dignified in such a wacky group. It’s a shame…..

”Do you mind if I show you that magic tool?”

“Oh, yes. Hai.”

Alexei-san, aka the man from “1”, received the magic gun and looked at it sullenly from above and below and from the side.

“Hmm. Hmmm… I see that when you push your finger in here, magic is shot from inside the tube.”

Right after I mumbled that.

”Guberg-kun, what!”

Grandpa-sensei tried to stop him in a hurry, but he pointed the gun at me and pulled the trigger.

Scene.

Nothing happens. Well, of course. That’s because it’s only for me (and Haruto C) to use.

“Is there a trick to using it?”

Alexei asks sullenly. He doesn’t take offense.

“It’s just that it’s a contract that only I can use.”

“What?　Only contractors can use it… it’s just like the ‘Supreme Seven Holy Armor’.”

“hmmm.”

He grinned, and I smiled back with a meaningful smile. This is what you do when you don’t know what’s going on, a knowledge I learned from the internet in a past life.

Grandpa-sensei interrupted him.

“No way!　The Seven Sacred Armor is not just a kingdom, but a world treasure. I don’t mean to be rude, but entrusting it to a student is not an acceptable thing to do.”

”However, two of the seven are legendary weapons that don’t even know their shape. It’s possible that they are unknowingly lying dormant. Isn’t that what he meant when he didn’t confirm or deny it?”

“Grandpa sensei. Mmmmmm.”

Is this story going in a good direction or a bad one?　I’m sure it’s a good direction. I believe in the collective wisdom of the internet.

“I would love to see the power of this wizardry. Don’t you?　Hart-san, would you like to compete with me?”

“Huh?　No, but this class isn’t anti-personnel combat, is it?”

“Of course we wouldn’t do anything to each other. It’s just for fun. I wouldn’t bet anything on it.”

I thought for a moment that it would be nice if there was no danger, but I’ll think about it.

I don’t know the details, but I think this guy is pretty good at what he does. And yet he’s a serious guy who goes to class properly. What will people think of him if he’s a bit more than he is?

“You’re ditching class because of that when your ‘1’ is in class?　Oh, really? You’re an aristocrat, aren’t you?” (Sarcastic glance)

“No, I’m a nobleman. I’m more of a prince.”

Anyway, as far as I can assume, I just have a feeling that it’s going to be difficult to skip class.

I’m going to show you the amazingness of my magic gun without any comparison, and then say with gusto, ‘I don’t need to take classes, just give me the credits. It’s better to show them that you don’t need to have a class, so just give me a credit.

I’ll say no.

I’m not going to be able to tell you why.

“Sumima—”

“Go for it, Hart. Isn’t this a good time to show people what you can do?”

My voice was interrupted by Rias.

“What the hell are you looking at?”

They look at me like I’m saying something unnecessary.

The other students are also chortling. See, you can’t retreat anymore.

So, unfortunately, we have to play the game.

“Then, I will explain the rules. There are five targets, and the winner is determined by the time it takes to hit them all.”

It’s a simple rule, really. But, this one’s pretty hard.

It’s not about hitting the target.

My objective is to “get an excuse to skip class legally”. In order to do that, what is needed in this game is not just a win, but an overwhelming victory.

There are five targets.

It only takes a moment to pull off five shots at once. However, there was no way Alexei, who decided the rules, could not destroy them all at the same time.

That would only be an even assessment.

Think, Haruto. You’ve got to have some idea of how to penetrate the rules. Something … something … something … geez.

I fell asleep for a second. I had a late night yesterday.

But, now I have a flash of inspiration!

An outstanding idea for a gap in the rules.

The plan is this.

In addition to the five bullets I need to hit the target, I’m going to shoot down Alexei’s attacks … as well as his magic.

The winner is the one who shoots all the targets first. So, you just have to make sure your opponent miss the target.

“Hmmm, you got caught up in your schemes, Alexei-san,” I sneered, but he only responded with a cool smile.

Huh?　Don’t tell me he’s going to do the same thing to me?　It’s possible. No, it’s the only way. Considering that confident smile and the fact that he seems to be the leader of a mysterious organization, he must be quite sharp.

What should we do?　What do we do?

While I was still trying to figure it out.

“Are you ready?　Then, you may begin when I raise my hand.”

Grandpa takes care of the referees instead of the class.

“Get ready ……start!”

A wrinkled hand lifted.

Alexei-san seemed to have chanted beforehand, and five magic circles unfolded in front of him.

Don’t be fooled.

Just because there are five of them doesn’t mean it’s five shots. It’s clear that something that shoots down my magic is definitely going to be released from there.

I have my magic gun up.

But, I can’t come up with a countermeasure against him.

I was in a hurry to find out what to do, and at the same time, I created countless small invisible wards.

Zugagaagaagaaga–!

The muzzle of the gun seemed to burst into flames as it fired a suppressive shot that destroyed all the targets. The momentum was so great that even the embankment beyond the targets disappeared without a trace.

“Fuhahahaha!　Hmmm. I destroyed your bull’s-eye first. I guess that’s a win, right?　No?　What are the rules?”

I looked at the teacher, grasping at straws.

“Hahaha…….”

He opened his big mouth, his eyes were wide open, and he was shaking with a pout. I couldn’t speak to him.

Then, he looked at Alexei this time. Do you complain?

“Whaaahhh…”

Huh?　I’m shaking with my mouth open, too.

In retrospect, students all felt the same way.

So, am I not going to have to go to class from now on?　Do I have to?　DOCCHI!

There’s no one to answer my question, Charlotte–.
