In the morning Naoki was woken up by the nurse stating it's time for him to go to school
Naoki realizing this immediately jump out of the bed and use his torn uniform and goes to class
After awhile he arrives at his class the teacher begin to scold at him and one student spoke
"As expected of the weakest student of our class , Hahahaha!" The student said
Naoki then look who that was and saw who it was a tanned red haired guy wearing an expensive uniform named Miguel Avarice the son of the count that contributed on the great war against the elves 20 years ago
"To add more you're wearing ragged uniform offending our great academy! " Miguel yelled
"How can you even show your face to others you're a disgrace to us nobles!" Miguel added
After that his teacher immediately scold Miguel for what he said , Naoki walk to the lecture hall and sit
Just besides him is his one and only friend a blond haired beauty named Angela she specialized in divine magic and is a candidate to be the next saintess.
"Naoki what happened to you? You're all bruised up and your uniform is torn up." Angela said as she began healing him
"I just encountered some minor inconvenience while going home."
"Wait are you one of the students who were saved from the Ent attack yesterday, I'm so glad you're save"Angela said while happily smiling
"Yeah yeah but can you please stop that you're hurting my eyes" Naoki said getting blinded by Angela's radiance.
"Quiet up there!" The teacher yelled
"Anyways today were now gonna talk about the 7 Journals that the {Hero of Light} created".
"For our topic today were gonna talk about the {Armor Journal}".
'Wait that's what Elvin mentioned to me' Naoki muttered
"According to scholars and archeologist it's a journal that can give the user any armor that is written on it and with that armor it makes the user almost indestructible. But some says there's another function, when the user is in danger the journal will automatically pick the best armor suitable to defeat it's foe."
The teacher keep talking until a few hours pass by and the bell rang signaling it's lunch time
*Ding* *Ding*
"That's the bell alright everyone that's it for today make sure you pass you'r homework on Monday" After the teacher said that she immediately teleported
" Hey Naoki wanna grab lunch with me?" Angela asked
Naoki is about answer he was then interrupted by Miguel
"Hey I'm not done with you yet, you sorry excuse of a noble."
Miguel start insulting Naoki mocking him in every way
"Stop that!" Angela yelled
"Or what?"
Angela starts to channel her magic as her insignia shaped with wing shines but was immediately stop by Naoki
"Miguel let's just do this for another time you're only making a fool of yourself." Naoki said
"Tsk" Miguel then goes outside of the classroom and leave
"Come on let's grab lunch" Naoki said to Angela
The two were walking through the hallway,while they are walking Naoki heard so many people talking about the Ent attack yesterday especially the mysterious armoured man that save the students
"What they are saying is true an armoured man appears out of thin air and helped the adventurers and the students after that they just vanished."
"Do you know anything about it Naoki since you were there?"Angela questioned
Naoki is about to answer but he remembered a conversation he had with Elvin
************
"You shouldn't reveal that Naoki"Elvin said
"Huh? But why?"
"Obviously because that journal is capable of turning someone into a powerful being, they will use everything to get that journal on their hands"
"But the two of you already know it" Naoki rebutted
"Fine let's just do this" he then show his Insignia on his shoulder with a shape of a magic circle
"Let's do an Insignia pact, I pick the {Path of Enlightenment} and I am on the 3rd path so I can cast a powerful pact. With this if you tell anyone this power you will be punished for ruining the pact same goes for me but let's have an example"
Elvin then look around to find anything as an example then Fannar entered the room holding fruits. Elvin smirk and called Fannar
"Fannar help me real quick"
Fannar put the fruits down on the table and goes to Elvin. He quickly told Fannar about the situation.
"Alright let's do it" Fannar said
"Let's do a pact where you can't lie" Elvin smirk
Their Insignia started to shine as both parties agreed on the condition
"Now go on say something to me" Elvin said with a smirk on his face
"You are very annoying"
*Silent*
"Keep going just lie"
"You're useless on the battle because most of the time you just sit back and make me do the work, you have no manners on the table, you look like an armadillo when you sleep.
*Silent*
Elvin was devastated with it and then sat at the corner looking gloomy
Fannar then ask Elvin a question about his hometown
*Boom*
Elvin was struck by lightning and laid flat on the ground looking charred
"Yep knew it, Elvin really hates to talk about his hometown anyways let's do this pact ok?" Fannar smiled
"O-ok.." Naoki answered
*************
"Oh uhh no sorry,I also don't about the armoured man"Naoki Answered
'I want to tell her it's me but I don't want to get struck by lightning'
"Oh bummer" Angela muttered
After walking they now arrived at the cafeteria
"Hmmm what to pick what to pick."Angela muttered to herself
'I just want to eat I don't care what fo-.. is that Curry?! it's curry day!!!' Naoki said smiling
Angela then look in confusion still with a smile on her face
After they ate their lunch they go to their next class for practical training
"Alright everyone our lesson today is {Mana Enhancement}. It is done by covering a part of your body for example a fist with mana then use this mana to exert force on something while protecting your body."
The teacher said as he then demonstrate it on a huge boulder
*Hmph*
*Crack*
The boulder shattered into many pieces while the teacher continue to explain that it can also work in vice versa.
"You guys try it"
Students begin to use it on log when
*Boom*
Miguel successfully did {Mana Enchantments} in his first try
"Woah as expected of Miguel!"
"He did on his first try!"
The students cheered at Miguel then he looks at Naoki
*Boom*
Naoki already used to this kind of training and effortlessly did it on his first try
"Wow I didn't know Naoki is that strong?"
"Yeah, never knew he has that talent"
"Tsk, tough luck" Miguel said and return to train
'After that fight I feel much stronger is it because of the journal? No I can only do it with if I have the armor on. Am I stronger than I thought' Naoki muttered to himself
A few moments pass by
*Ding* *Ding*
"Everyone time to leave also the ones who can't do it you must learn it by Monday because we're gonna use it for another practice" The instructor said
"Lets go Naoki" Angela said
"Alright alright"
-----------
"Man it's to hard to learn that"
"I know right like we're not even gonna use it in the future because we're already rich"
The students still complaining then a fist came flying and punch one of the students
*Thuds*
"Ow! Miguel What was that for!?!" The student yelled
"You useless trash and you call yourself a noble you think just because your ancestors achieves nobility you think you can just laze around,you have no right to be called a noble. Do you know the hardship they suffered only to realize their descendents are a wuss and complain about training!" Miguel yelled
"*Sigh* you're useless I hate to say it even Naoki the noble with low mana capacity is much better than you"
----------
Naoki return to his home and gets greeted by one of their maids
"Welcome home young master." A pink haired with a short haircut girl wearing a maid outfit appeared and Naoki felt fear from her gazes
"Oh uh hello Dawn"
"Young Master if I may ask where were you yesterday..."
*Gulp*
"The Madam is worried sick about you..."
Just as Dawn is scolding Naoki a woman with a brown hair wearing a green dress came crying while running at him
"Oh my baby what happened to you I heard from your teacher you got caught on the Ent attack yesterday."
"Don't worry Mom it's alright I'm fine now" Naoki explained everything to her mother excluding the part about the journal
"Alright then let's go eat and get you ready for bed
After they all ate Naoki wash himself in the bath and returned to his room to do his homework
"So many things happened in just two days."
"Wait why don't I try out for the adventurer tomorrow, since it's a weekend and I have nothing to do. Alright let's finish this homework and sleep it will be a big day tomorrow!"
