“…… Are you serious?”
“Huh? Would I be lying then?”
Compared to when we first met, Eve had definitely grown.
Of course, people naturally grow as time passes, but in Eve’s case, the degree was severe.
In just a few months, she had gone through many experiences, so it was natural.
Still, no matter what, the person themselves don’t change.
Even if the mind grows, the body is honest, so it doesn’t change.
“You said you wanted to do well in the practical exam this time.”
“Didn’t you spend the whole vacation making only this?”
“We did say that, but……”
Tana and Eve were extremely annoyed as they looked at the upcoming exercise schedule.
“I made it considering your stamina, so it won’t be too difficult when you actually try it.”
“Sigh! Okay. Let’s do it!”
“I’ll have to think of it as being dead.”
‘Hmm?’
Actually, I had thought of compromising by reducing the number of exercises a bit after a few more squabbles, but the two of them just accepted it.
Rather, I couldn’t help but be flustered, but Hayun, who had been watching us from behind, approached and whispered in my ear.
“The two of them were subtly concerned that they weren’t of much help in this incident.”
“Oh my.”
They were worrying about something trivial.
In fact, I had crushed the Tudog organization, which was a group of elites who had planned to conquer the Demon Realm Forest, all by myself.
There was no way ordinary students could fight against them.
Even if I wanted to tell them that girls like Rin, Sen, and Elise were abnormal, the two of them seemed to have made up their minds and were steeling their resolve.
‘I’ll have to buy them something delicious later.’
Of course, I should only feed them to the extent that they don’t gain weight.
“I don’t mind it.”
Sen, who had been glancing at the exercise chart I was holding from the side said.
Since she no longer needed to do the training given by the Chokugen Faction, she was doing personal training, and she also asked for my help.
In the end, the exercise party that consisted of me, Tana, and Eve had now grown to five members, including Hayun and Sen.
Personally, I saw it as a very encouraging achievement.
In the case of Hayun and Sen, they could directly complement their practical skills by sparring with each other.
“Well then, let’s start.”
Today’s exercise began with a smile.
***
“Tsk.”
“Yawn, May. Are you still watching them?”
On the rooftop of the academy, May, who had been biting on candy since early morning, was with her friends.
Actually, she had no intention of eating candy at this hour, but seeing Daniel with other girls made her mouth feel bitter, so she had no choice but to tear it open.
“Look at those eyes rolling in joy, saying he’ll exercise with them.”
After all, they say people addicted to exercise are similar to drug addicts, and Daniel was just like that.
‘So that’s why he’s so strong?’
May tilted her head and sighed.
In fact, the reason she was forcibly keeping her sleepy eyes open and staying on the rooftop was quite compulsory.
“These damn seniors called us to come, so why aren’t they coming?”
“Yeah, I’m here.”
The door opened with a rough sound.
The man in front had his hands in his pockets, as if he had kicked the door open, and he looked like he could definitely throw a punch just by looking at him.
“Senior Talois, you’re here?”
Before May was called the Empress of the Back Alleys, the Fist King who had dominated Aios Academy.
As he became a 5th-year student and left for practical training, Aios Academy literally saw the rise of numerous heroes of troubled times, and the one who settled it all was none other than May, who had Daniel on her back.
‘Why is this guy, who’s about to graduate, doing this now?’
May thought that he wouldn’t be causing trouble in vain now that he was about to graduate, but her judgment was completely off the mark.
“Leiros died, and this bitch is succeeding me? A fox has entered the tiger’s den?”
The 4th and 5th-year seniors who followed from behind raised their voices and mocked her.
May sighed, wondering if they had called her at this early hour to do this kind of thing.
“Will you still attend the academy even after graduating? Why don’t you just quietly look for a job now? It seems like you won’t even be able to join the security forces, from what I see.”
“What?”
“Am I wrong? Your grades are a mess, and your life is a mess. Do you have nothing to do after graduating, so you’re burning your present more passionately?”
This time, when May laughed back, the 3rd-year students behind her also laughed, not wanting to lose.
“These bastards! I need to discipline them today. You know, I was going to stay quiet now that I’m a 5th-year…… but today, you guys woke me up.”
“He’s talking nonsense, really. You were the one who desperately asked to be woken up.”
May bit the candy in her mouth with a crunching sound and put her hands in her pockets, glaring at Talois.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if you just graduated, thinking that the golden age of your life was your school days?”
“Then what do you think you can do after graduating? Why? Are you being cheeky because you trust the dean’s connections?”
“No? I’m being cheeky because I trust my husband?”
“…… What?”
“But why is your tongue so long!”
With May’s punches, a normal day at Aios Academy began.
***
“…… What happened to your face?”
After finishing all the exercise.
The other kids had left to wash up and go to class, so I was also finishing up my cool-down exercise and heading back when I saw May sitting at a cafe table in front of the dormitory with her chin resting on it.
She had a few wounds on her face.
“Some bastard did this to me.”
For a moment, my emotions surged up, so I clenched my fist and asked May, but she rather pinched my cheek slightly and said,
“Oh my, how pretty.”
“Don’t joke around.”
“It’s pretty that you’re worried about me, that’s why.”
May grinned and got up, brushing her butt.
“Don’t worry. A 5th-year senior picked a fight with me, but I cleaned it up neatly.”
“I told you to call me first if something like this happens.”
Recently, I thought there wouldn’t be incidents like this since May had a tight grip on the delinquents.
‘A 5th-year is about to graduate, but they’re doing this kind of thing?’
I thought there was an unexpectedly stupid person.
“By the way, the dean was looking for you. He said to come see him after all the lectures are over today?”
“He told you that?”
“I went to see him for a bit yesterday.”
“Well, okay.”
He told me to come? What’s the matter?
***
“That is, expulsion…… Daniel.”
“……”
I looked at the dean, who was fidgeting in front of me, with a dumbfounded expression.
He was saying the exact same lines I had heard when I first regressed, so I crossed my arms.
“It’s not funny, you know?”
“I, I didn’t want to say this to you either!”
“What’s going on?”
I didn’t think he would say this without any reason, but the dean made a tearful face and handed me a document.
“Look at your attendance rate since the 2nd semester.”
“Ah……”
The number of times I was absent was much higher than the number of times I attended.
I had gone to the Demon Realm Forest at the end of the vacation to get Michelle Portren’s medicine, and then I spent quite a bit of time going to the Dragon’s Boundary to treat my sister.
Before I knew it, two months had passed since the end of the vacation, and my attendance was almost blank.
“The professors are talking a lot. They’re asking if there’s a need to keep a student like this. It even reached the parents, and I got scolded trying to calm them down.”
“…… You had a hard time.”
I scratched the back of my head, feeling really sorry, and the dean’s expression softened a bit as he came out confidently.
“Still, you’re able to hold on because you showed strengths in practical skills, but there’s a lot of talk among the professors about whether you can properly keep up with demonology, which you weren’t good at even in the 1st semester.”
“……”
“So Daniel, you need to prove yourself now.”
“Prove myself?”
The dean answered as if it was no big deal.
“What’s a student’s duty? Studying, of course. If you don’t pass the tests given by the professors, they will view the disciplinary action against you negatively.”
My original age is 28.
One of the top predators who lived in the Demon Realm Forest.
I had also single-handedly entered the land of the dragonkin and turned it into a mess.
The witches of the Black Forest bowed their heads in fear.
I single-handedly annihilated the Tudog organization, a group of sinners hidden in secrets that even troubled the kingdom.
But now, I was feeling a sense of crisis more than ever before.
***
Talois, the 5th-year student who had been beaten by May Plov this morning like a dog on a hot day, was seething with anger despite putting ice on his wounds.
He lost.
He was completely defeated.
The 4th and 5th-years had ganged up on them, but they lost to mere 3rd-years.
Moreover, he, who had been called the Fist King of Aios, had lost to that small girl in a fistfight.
It seemed like she had used mana to strengthen her body, but it was so meticulous and solid that it couldn’t be seen as something a mere student could do.
“It’s because you 4th-years can’t manage properly!”
He shouted at the 4th-years who were slumped in front of him, but it had little effect.
Because in the end, they had lost and got beaten up just the same.
Talois sighed and began to rack his brain.
“I can’t lose like this.”
The reason he was able to dominate Aios Academy was not only because he was good at using his fists but also because he didn’t shy away from doing dirty things.
“May Plov. I’m going to mess that bitch up.”
Talois clenched his fist, his eyes shining with humiliation.

“I’m being cheeky because i trust my husband”
