Longing
Pursuit

It was as if the core
of my body had been pierced. The way he ran around the raging arena, fearlessly
challenging a powerful enemy wielding a giant sword.
No matter how great
the gap in power between the two was, no matter how badly he was cornered, he
never gave up.
I couldn't take my
eyes off his eyes, which held a strong light.
And before I knew it,
I found myself pursuing that person's figure like this.
"Aaah~~.
Nozomu-senpai is so cool after all..."
Now, after school, the
senior I have been looking for is doing independent training with
Irisdina-senpai.
I took out a thick
notebook from my pocket as I watched them train with a quiet demeanor.
"Nozomu Bountis.
Born in Oire Village, Principality of Handora. In his freshman year, his
Ability Suppression manifested, leading his practical performance to stagnate.
After that, he became a regular for remedial and supplementary examinations,
but he still advanced to the third year. After his Ability Suppression manifested,
for some reason, he began using Eastern swordsmanship. In contrast to his
practical skills, he excelled in written examinations and placed among the top
students in his grade. After advancing to the third year, he rapidly stood out
and led the 10th class, the lowest class in the grade, to sixth place in the
overall ranking in the Special Comprehensive Exercise. The swordsmanship he has
acquired is one of the most famous schools in the East, the Mikagura style. His
skill is comparable to that of Jihad-sensei. It is confirmed that he is one of
the best swordsmen on this continent. He has a good personality to the point of
rescuing juniors who had cursed at him. I wonder... what does he like and
dislike...?"
On the left page of
the notebook, there is a lot of information about the senpai I've been
researching. On the right page, there is an illustration of the senpai posing
with a katana with a dignified expression. It's my masterpiece, which depicts
his battle against Jihad-sensei! But the real senpai is much more wonderful
than the illustration! Aa~, I want to be next to Nozomu-senpai! But I can't
talk to him because he's with Irisdina-senpai right now! Irisdina-senpai is so
unfair! I want to talk to Nozomu-senpai too! Ah, but the two of them look so
good together, and there's not a single gap for me to enter! It's dazzling! My
eyes are going blind!
"Nozomu-senpai,
could you please shake my hand again...?"
At that moment, senpai
turned his head toward me. A tingling sensation, just like the one I felt at that
time, ran down my spine. The gaze directed at me and the fact that I was being
noticed caused heat to spread throughout my body. This is... it's boiling! I
can work hard for another month with just this! My blood boils, I feel a
stinging sensation in my nose, and red blood spurts out!
"I-I can't. I'm
getting too excited..."
I couldn't show senpai
such an unsightly appearance! I left the place in a hurry. On the other hand, I
wondered how senpai who were watching me from afar fared ................
"Nozomu, what's
wrong?"
"No, actually,
there's a junior who's been watching me ever since we started training, and I
felt a little chill from her gaze. It's strange, I don't think she's the kind
of person who would be hostile..."
"Are you close
with her?"
"We only shook
hands once. I don't even know her name. I wonder if she needed something. Iris,
what do you think?"
"...What? What do
you want me to say?"
"Aren't you kinda
in a bad mood?"
"...Don't ask
me."
That's the kind of
conversation that took place...or so I heard.
