Chapter 111: Masamune’s class

I.am Nito.

Im going to teach you the truth!

I said with my arms spread wide, but none of them seemed to understand. Robert had a serious expression on his face.

Magic is not given to everyone who wants it! Villagers cant even get a spellbook, but most of you here are aristocrats right? You lived a sheltered life, thats why you dont know.

Naturally they are all confused, they have no idea what Im talking about.

Thats why, Im going to teach you!

Everyone was quiet and listening.

As Bell and the principal said, once you get used to the abyss your existence will grow, at this point the students cant ignore me.

Do you know why countries and aristocrats continue to invest large sums of money in this academy?

I stared at Robert.

Robert? Do you know?

But Robert seemed to have lost the ability to think due to my intimidation.

Thats because they want excellent mages like yourselves. But why, why do they want that?

None of them answered, not the principal or the teachers, but it has nothing to do with those who work here.

Because they want your lives.

I didnt give the students a chance to think as it still seems that they dont understand. It seems like most of them just wanted to live comfortable lives after getting good jobs.

You still dont get it? But I think you probably have noticed. What about the country of Greyberg? What about you Robert, do know about that country?

Yeah, I know it.

You do right? So do you know how many excellent mages they had, and what happened to them?

When I asked that I no longer saw fear in him. It seems that maybe he hadnt realized it yet.

I know that too! They were attacked by dragons heart! But isnt that rare!? Im not there so it has nothing to do with me!

I see, nothing to do with you huh.. but Im going to teach you the reality, assuming youve understood at least some of what I said.

Some of them have already begun to notice.

Reality?

Robert asked.

Yes. Why is it that nations and aristocrats want magic?

I turned back and removed some of the useless white arms from the two empire soldiers. They were still firmly fixed in place so it was fine.

You said it had nothing to do with you right? Then how do you explain this situation? I wasnt the cause was I? Theres a possibility of this happening wherever you go, even more so if you work for a country or the aristocrats. As an adventurer Ive been to several countries, but Ive never once been able to leave without incident.

Well, twice..

This time you were unreasonably involved in the empires attack. Do you get that? Your opinion doesnt matter! The world is always unreasonable! In this world the words this has nothing to do with me are like thin pieces of paper.

I put my hand on the snakemans right arm.

This! You said this has nothing to do with you? This is the truth of those words! Phantom pain

As a reward for hurting Toa, this one gets to die.

Guaaaaaaaah!

Pain attacked the Snakemans body eliciting screams of pain, he arched his back and his face contorted in pain.

This man, touched my companion! As such hes being rewarded for that right now! Look, arent you interested? Magic isnt a way to fulfill your worldly desires, its a weapon to kill with!

Youre wrong!

He was shaking but he looked confident.

Fuuu, are you courageous or just an idiot? What am I wrong about?

Robert stared at me Dumbledore.

Magic is used to save people, its not just for killing.

I had no choice but to ridicule him.

Delete

Guoooooo!

I responded with action, the snakemans right arm disappeared into particles of light.

Guh!

Blood began flowing from the snake mans shoulder.

Heal

So I healed his wound.

Certainly, magic is not just about killing people.

Robert look scared. But all I did was exactly as he said. I took the snake mans arm then healed him.

Its just like you said, it can be used to save people as well, we saw thst just now right?

Stop it, thats enough! You promised not to use it anymore right!?

The principal interjected.

Could you shut your mouth? When it comes to the abyss Im the interest party. I dont have any use for ignorant sermons.

Then Patrick appeared with Yui and Sarah.

Nito.nothings going to come of this.

..

Sarah and Yui were glaring at me.

Patrick, arent you over exaggerating? This is just some advice.

Sarah was staring at the mask as if she wanted to say something, she then opened her mouth.

That eye..half of you is stained but this magic I see, so you were originally

Stop snooping, I hate being looked at objectively.

I ignored Patrick and resumed class.

This is perfect, Patrick is from Razhousen. The empire attacked Razhousen but I happened to be there and stopped it. But what would you do in that situation? If the country you worked for was attacked by the empire and you were ordered to respond, could you still say that it has nothing to do with you?

I looked at their facial expressions.

This isnt an extreme story, this actually happened! In the past the empire waged war across the entire continent right? And now, in recent years it turns out that the empire has been acting in secret! They came here to attack didnt they? It seems strange doesnt it?

I took out the executioners axe from my storage and swung it down on the snakemans other arm.

Uwaaaaaaaah!

I used my cleaning skill to get the blood of my body, but when I turned around everyones faces were cramped. They all looked like they were going to vomit.

You think thats cruel? You know you might have to do the same thing one day right? What happens if dragon heart comes to the country you work for? Theyd kill everyone involved wouldnt they?

I cut the snake mans legs off.

Hmm?

It seems like the snakeman forgot to scream, was my magic too effective at first?

After graduation you guys will be going down your own career paths. Those of you who become teachers might have it a little better. Its different if you have power, but if you dont, one day you will die.

Then the woman exploded.

Kill him! If you want to kill him then do it! Why are you torturing him! Kill him!

I turned around slowly.

Shut up, losers dont have the right to decide when they die. All they can do is just wait patiently for death.

It was a good idea to send Toa and the others back after all.

This woman is ready to die. Shes so scared that shes seeking death. Do you understand? This is reality.

I pointed to the snake man and spoke more clearly.

You never know whats going to happen! Peace will not last for ever! Most countries already expect the empire to make a move! In fact, some countries have already asked me to help them destroy the empire!

I looked at the woman.

Shall I torture you and have you tell me what the empires aim is? .Im joking.

They probably dont know anything anyway. If the empire was up to something then I dont think theyd send anyone here who knew about it.

You grew up in peace, sheltered, so you havent noticed. What do you think youre practicing for? Some school competition? No, this is a scouting session for countries. And its already begun!

Its not exactly true but let them think that. Well showing them is the quickest way.

They came here to kill my companion, but they dont know why do they? Or what they were up against. They were just disposable pawns. You might be the same someday. Because if the number of people decreases they can always just invest more in the academy.

Should I say more?

Youre the same as the meat we eat everyday. Youre placed into the system to die, you become mages to die.

Thats not true!

Sabrina screamed.

Hhhh, what is it this time principal?

Shes annoying.

Thats just your prejudice.

Its the truth, thats what magic is! Thats why you have restricted magic right principal? Because magic thats too strong can start a war.

No, they arent pawns! They are students at this school! You are too, Nito..

She tries to convince me but, Ive been hurt by human deception before. But I dont feel this from herdo I believe her?

Blind faith is stupid very human.

I ignored the principal and ended class.

Godesses blood tears

Tears poured onto the snake man.
