TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 4
Iris' POV
"...
Uh~"
In
a pitch-black field of vision, I regained consciousness and groaned.
"This
is, the infirmary?"
When
I opened my heavy eyelids and looked around, it was the infirmary of Solminati
Academy. I was laid down on a bed of pure white sheets, my long black hair
thrown over the sheets.
My
uniform coat had been taken off, and it was hung on the clothes rack next to
me. Maybe it was a hindrance to the medical examination.
"Are
you awake? Irisdina-kun"
"Norn-sensei
..."
It
was Norn Altina, the teacher in charge of the infirmary, who called out to me
when I woke up.
"You
had a match against Lisa in a mock battle in practical lessons, and
simultaneously attacked and knocked each
other, so you were brought
here."
I
finally remembered why I am here.
(Yeah,
I fought Lisa, talked to her, and my rapier was blown away by her rage...)
Touching
my waist gently caused a throbbing pain.
"You
received a blow on your waist, but there is no
abnormality in your bone. It's a little swollen now, but I think it will get
better soon. But if the pain persists, go to the doctor. "
"……Okay"
Norn-sensei
told me the result of the examination, but I was in a daze.
I
wanted to know him. I wanted to help him.
So
I approached Lisa, but in the end, I couldn't do anything.
“…………….”
I
felt depressed and my face naturally turned downwards. I was sad that I
couldn't get in between Nozomu and her.
"...But,
just as Anri said, Nozomu is starting to change."
"Eh?"
"Until
last year, he didn't even try to talk to anyone at school. Anri said he was
always alone, and once class was over, he went home and trained in the
forest."
I
knew he wasn't very well-liked by the people at the school, but I didn't know
he didn't even have someone to talk to.
"It's
dangerous to enter the forest alone, so Anri was very worried about him, but he
didn't seem to want to stop.
However, Nozomu's behavior had changed since the end of last year."
(Surely
at that time ...)
It
was around the time when he could release his Ability Suppression.
I
thought Norn-sensei knew something, so I listened to her words.
"Especially
since the beginning of this year, He started laughing at school too."
(...he
starts laughing...)
Those
words warmed my heart a little. I'm happy to think that I was able to help him
even a little.
"Hmm?
Should I clear the rumors?"
"Eh?"
When
I was surprised at Norn-sensei's words, the door of the infirmary opened and
people came in.
""Excuse
me""
"Sorry
for cutting in~~"
"Nozomu,
Tima, Mars, and even Somia too..."
