Volumen 07 Capítulo 69 - Fitts-senpai

1ª Parte

Ha pasado ya casi una semana desde que empecé mi etapa en la Universidad, y he de decir que mi vida aquí es bastante monótona.

Mi día a día es el siguiente:

Al levantarme cada mañana, lo primero que hago es comenzar mi entrenamiento diario. Según un manga que leí en mi vida anterior, un hombre una vez hizo diariamente 100 flexiones, 100 abdominales, 100 sentadillas y 10 kilómetros corriendo; y tras sacrificar su pelo, se convirtió en el ser más poderoso del mundo.

Personalmente no hago un entrenamiento tan duro porque no quiero quedarme calvo, pero añado unos cuantos movimientos con la espada para compensar. Aunque no noto especial mejoría en ese campo.

Tras eso, regreso a mi habitación y hago un ligero entrenamiento mágico; y es que, aunque haga tiempo que lo dejé abandonado, he vuelto a crear figuritas con magia. El motivo es que Zanoba no deja de decirme todos los días que le enseñe, así que antes de eso, decidí comenzar mi propia rehabilitación.

Aunque en este campo tampoco noto especial mejoría.

Pasado un tiempo, Zanoba se acerca a mi habitación y me invita a desayunar con él; aunque parece ser que en el dormitorio el orden de uso del comedor depende de tu año académico, aunque yendo con Zanoba, no parece que a nadie le importe que yo me salte este orden.

Pero básicamente, las mañanas son bastante entretenidas.

Cuando termino de desayunar, me despido de Zanoba y me acerco a la biblioteca para continuar mi investigación en la Catástrofe Mágica, que es bastante interesante.

Cuando suena la campana del mediodía, vuelvo a quedar con Zanoba para ir a comer juntos. Me intereso en sus clases y veo lo mucho que se está esforzando, ayudándole con los puntos que no comprende; que como son cosas que comprendo mejor que él, se las explico tan bien como soy capaz.

Por lo que sé, Zanoba tan solo asiste a las clases sobre magia de Tierra... aunque claro, no creo que haya problema si se esfuerza en aquello que le gusta.

Cabe destacar, que he estado comiendo con Zanoba casi siempre en el exterior, en la mesa que creé el primer día; y de vez en cuando alguien nos mira extrañado, pero no parece que nadie se haya molestado por esto. Y de vez en cuando a Elinalise le da por unírsenos, aunque Zanoba no parece ni notar su presencia cuando lo hace, y a ella parece que tampoco le ha atraído el príncipe, por lo que de la misma forma que aparece, desaparece.

Por lo general, Elinalise está casi siempre en el primer o el segundo piso del comedor de caza, y por la noche, como no puede llevar a sus presas al dormitorio femenino por la regla que tan amablemente me comentaron en mi primer día, suele aprovecharlo para disfrutar del clima nocturno en algún terreno con césped del campus a altas horas de la noche.

Esta chica está siempre ocupada, tanto de día como de noche... no sé como es capaz de aguantar el ritmo.

Otro detalle que me gustaría explicar es que en el comedor sirven diferentes tipos de platos, de los cuales varios satisfacen mi paladar a diario. Los que por lo general suelo degustar a mediodía es un plato de pollo frito al estilo Nanahoshi, o una sopa de curry, que aunque diferente, es una grata imitación del Curry que tantas veces he comido en mi anterior mundo.

Como no era mi plato favorito en mi antiguo mundo, con encontrarme una copia similar aunque no al mismo nivel es suficiente para saciar mi ansia.

Por la tarde, asisto a unas clases del curso principal en las que dan la base de hechizos de Protección y Exorcismo.

Por lo que he ido aprendiendo, los hechizos de exorcismo son especialmente efectivos contra monstruos espirituales y entes similares. Su aplicación es muy similar al hechizo Ran Ma de Orsted, que se basa en lanzar maná puro aplicándole un efecto.

Pero el maná en ese estado no aplica ningún tipo de daño, por lo que debe de haber algún efecto concreto que haga que estos hechizos afecten a estos seres... pero no soy capaz de comprenderlo; quizás si hubiera sido un espiritualista o un Exorcista como el demonio ese con rabo y espada demoniaca hubiera llegado a entender como funcionaba, pero no es el caso.

Pero aunque no comprenda el concepto detrás del funcionamiento de los conjuros, sigo aprendiendo la asignatura a base de memorizar uno por uno todos los conjuros que posee esa rama de la magia. Y es que, por lo visto, es necesario realizar pequeñas alteraciones según el tipo de enemigo que sea para que surta efecto.

Por este motivo, si quisiera centrarme en este tipo de magia divina, es importante conocer un hechizo por cada enemigo que fuera a enfrentar. No me supone ningún problema, ya que tampoco tenía intención de convertirme ahora en un Santo de Exorcismo.

Y por cierto, parece ser que los mejores espadachines son capaces de pelear y acabar contra fantasmas.

La magia de Protección tiene ese nombre porque literalmente es utilizada para proteger a personas con barreras mágicas. Requiere conocer las bases en círculos mágicos, y es hasta posible hacer uso de ellas con los conjuros más sencillos.

Un hechizo que aprendí en la clase de nivel Básico de esta escuela de magia es Escudo Mágico, que es algo así como colocar una pared de maná frente a mí para detener ataques. Los usos principales de este tipo de hechizos son reducir el daño de efectos de área como frío y fuego. Además, he descubierto que se utilizan ladrillos con un círculo mágico que se aprovechan de estas propiedades para aislar los hoteles de mayor categoría.

Pero además de proteger contra magia, también existen barreras físicas, ¿no? Me refiero, la barrera en la que me encerraron en Shirone repelía hasta ataques físicos. Me pregunto cuándo las enseñaran en clase.

Con esta duda en mente, me acerqué a preguntarle al profesor, y su respuesta fue que las escuelas de Exorcismo y Protección solo se enseñan en el seno de la Iglesia Milis, ya que es ilegal enseñar niveles a partir del Iniciado en esos campos. La Universidad solo tiene permitido enseñar el nivel Básico tras llegar a acuerdo con ellos. Por este motivo, las barreras físicas no se pueden enseñar en este centro, ya que son de nivel Intermedio.

El profesor conoce los conjuros, pero enseñárselos a otras personas sería una violación de las leyes, y el castigo por ello es ser excomulgado de la Iglesia Milis y podría incluso ser juzgado por herejía.

Por lo que me ha contado, incluso el nivel Básico estaba prohibido en estas materias, pero hace 2 años, tras llegar a una serie de acuerdos y condiciones, se permitió la enseñanza del nivel más bajo en esas escuelas de magia. Debido a estas limitaciones, las clases se centran más en la rotura de estas barreras mágicas o como evitarlas.

Según el profesor, las propiedades que pueden poseer estas barreras son principalmente anti-física y anti-mágica; pero que una persona de nivel Santo o superior es capaz de combinar estas propiedades en una única barrera. Otro aspecto importante que he aprendido es que las barreras tienen otras funciones además de protegerse a uno mismo, como proteger a otros o encerrar personas o cosas en su interior.

Roxy la verdad es que no me contó mucho sobre esta escuela de magia en su día, y como además no comprendía mucho a lo que se refería con ellas, supongo que tampoco presté demasiada atención. Por este motivo, más que recordar lo que ya sabía y ampliar conocimientos, estoy estudiando esta escuela desde 0.

Cuando la clase termina, vuelvo a la biblioteca a continuar estudiando la Catástrofe Mágica hasta la hora de la cena, tras la que me vuelvo al dormitorio a seguir haciendo figurillas un rato antes de acostarme.

Supongo que una vez establezca el ciclo de vida aquí, puede ir surgiendo flexibilidad aquí y allá... pero el Fuego Nocturno de mi alma continúa Extinguido por el Impertinente Bombero que me acecha y no me deja en paz...

Básicamente, no hay ninguna mejoría con mi D.E.

2ª Parte

Fue entonces cuando un evento ocurrió un día cualquiera.

Me encontraba esa tarde en la biblioteca estudiando casos de la Catástrofe Mágica cuando Fitts-senpai apareció, con su ya constantes pelo blanco y gafas de sol, un manto genial sobre su uniforme escolar, unas gruesas botas y unos guantes blancos y ajustados.

Le he visto varias veces, pero da la impresión de que Fitts-senpai siempre va vestido igual.

"Ludeus-kun, ¿te importa si te molesto?"

"No es necesario tanta formalidad por su parte, Fitts-senpai. Pero tome, he calentado un asiento para usted, siéntese y entre en calor."

"Ajaja.... Siento causarte molestias."

Le entregué mi asiento y Fitts-senpai se sentó intentando que no se notara su vergüenza. Yo por mi parte cogí una silla diferente, me senté a su lado y continué con mi lectura.

"¿Has hecho algún progreso en tu investigación?"

Fitts takes a look through what books I have at hand.

It's been a week since then.

I have come here everyday hunting documents related to metastasis.

[I have come to understand that similar cases to what happened to Fedoa Territory also have happened in the past.]

Fitts-senpai asked to hear all about what I had researched so far.

[Nothing as large scale as what happened in Fedoa Territory surely, but there are cases of someone just going out one day and disappearing, then suddenly one day they are back again. These stories seem to mostly fit that criteria.]

The so called spiriting-away.

One person suddenly disappears by themselves, they appear somewhere else, then just as suddenly they reappear back in the same place.

Things such as this are relatively frequent in this world... though it is a rare occurrence.

[So, then, you are saying what happened to Fedoa Territory is like the same thing?]

[I am wondering about that...]

Casually, I happened to look at what Fitts had in his hand, it was a book on metastasis as well.

[Perhaps, you would be willing to give me a hand with this?]

When he heard that, he shook his head.

[I don't think so. I also am just examining the metastasis event normally.]

[Oh is that so? Is there a special reason for that? Perhaps a command from Princess Ariel?]

[It's nothing like that...]

Fitts-senpai moves his hand to his jaw, and seemed to consider something for a little while, then the edges of his mouth crooked and he laughed.

He was laughing at himself.

[To tell you the truth, an acquaintance of mine also became missing because of the metastasis event.]

[That is, umm, what can I say? That's not good...]

I remembered the list of fatalities at the refugee camp.

The number of fatalities was vast.

And it's been five years since it happened.

It's already been considered too late to find any other survivors.

Surely, even an acquaintance of Fitts-senpai wouldn't be alive still.

I, who had every member of his family still alive, was immeasurably lucky.

[Actually, I recently came into the knowledge that they somehow are still alive.]

[Eh? Ah, is that so?]

[Yeah. But, up until that point I had been studying everything I could about Metastasis... Like for instance, I hoped to be able to discern a pattern where one could potentially occur in the future. I thought something like that would be easy to locate, so I searched and searched!]

Is there a trend in the appearance of the metastasis events?

Indeed, I hadn't even considered such an idea.

[As expected of senpai! How very insightful.]

[Nah, it's nothing like that... Besides, I wasn't able to come to any kind of conclusion with all that I had found in the end.]

Fitts-senpai said so, his jaw slackened, and he seemed to be looking depressed.

According to the story I heard, it was one year after the metastasis event that the Princess was overthrown.

Naturally, there may have been signs before the overthrowing, but at that time Fitts-senpai was a guard. He would have had his hands full with work.

[Sometimes it just can't be helped.]

There is a thing called a viewpoint.

To give up the search when there is no longer any more reason to keep on participating.

Rather, using the position of the guard, this school's library could be used to check matters concerning the case from different angles.

Having been found, the information gathering was being done.

With that much alone, it can be said that it was enough.

[Past aside, let's consider this matter from here on, for the time being senpai, can you tell me about what information you've manage to find in your search?]

[Sure, I'll bring you the consolidated information tomorrow... However, I don't want you to hold too many expectations. Because I don't think I was skillful at researching it, Rudeus-kun may find too many things wrong with it immediately after looking at it.]

Fitts-senpai seems to have no confidence.

Isn't he currently a 4th year student?

Is it like what I heard a few days ago: that Fitts mostly guarded Princess Ariel to and from classes, and then did whatever routine and miscellaneous duties?

Also, didn't you later say that you belonged to the student council?

And in the middle of all of that, still had time to do research on this little by little.

Not escaping from all that hectic work even with a so called reason.

He's an amazing person.

[Just let me borrow some of your time, senpai.]

Anyhow, all morning is assigned to research.

Having seen the situation, and having my previous life's knowledge, I more or less came up with a prediction.

[Umm, that is... Rudeus-kun. Can I consult with you on this matter?]

Abruptly scratching the back of his ear, Fitts-senpai cast his eyes downward and muttered a bit.

I tilt my head to the side in puzzlement.

[Isn't it alright?]

There is the matter of thanking you for helping me the other day.

I'll gladly listen to anything you have to say.

[In researching the Metastasis events, I'd like to lend you a hand with it.]

I felt deeply grateful in hearing those words.

[No, rather you would be the one lending me a hand. I've only just started researching a few days ago, so the amount of information I've gotten so far is minimal.]

[But, I cannot give you very much time. Most likely I imagine Rudeus-kun would be doing all the research alone by himself. Wouldn't you hate it? Someone who just takes advantage of a partner and when he comes, is likely just a nuisance?]

I would disapprove of a guy who only sometimes shows up for something like a research project and leaves it to the other person to do all the work alone.

When hearing it like that, it certainly sounds disagreeable.

Possibly, Fitts isn't one of those types who will do something in vain.

I know that I am not a very bright person.

If it's true Fitts-senpai is considered a genius, if he was to check my findings, it's possible he might be able to find something useful.

[It's not that disagreeable of a thing. I look forward to working with you.]

[Right, I also look forward to working with you.]

When I said so and shook his hand, Fitts became shy and laughed.

With his small face, and soft hand.

My heart throbs.

A male partner...

...no, couldn't be.

It might be my mind playing tricks on me.

Part 3

Afterwards, when I had finished performing my share of the researching, we parted ways.

By the time we came out of the library, it was becoming dark.

On the way back to the dorms, I have a leisurely chat with Fitts.

He appears to have lots of guard work and miscellaneous duties after all, however, it seems that once every 10 days he has free time.

[Come to think of it, Rudeus-kun. I saw you at lunchtime today. It was impressive.]

Though he said lunchtime, I put on a puzzled expression.

Now what was I doing at lunchtime?

[It's actually surprising to see how that Zanoba Shirone has taken to you like a puppy.]

[...Haa]

So by lunchtime, he means the time when I was eating a meal at the impromptu café terrasse I created outside with Zanoba and was being watched by everyone.

[You might not already know this, but from the moment he enrolled here, he only ever got into fights, and was nothing but a hooligan and problem child.]

Hearing that he was nothing but a "problem child", I smiled wryly.

Even if you go and say it like that...

That makes it seem that he wasn't a victim of bullying.

You know, a person who can easily rip someone's head off might not be so easily bullied after all.

[After all, Rinia and Pursena were said to be... Misbehaving too when they were controlling the students, before they were made to be docile.]

Well, it seems that Rinia and Pursena happen to be the school banchou.

The new student who was raging challenged them to a fight, and was defeated.

Two against one.

I won't say it was cowardly.

Then Zanoba seems to have been treated as an underling of those two.

I haven't seen much of that kind of scene though.

[Please be careful around Rinia and Pursena, since they may decide to pick a fight with you soon.]

[I get the feeling I'll be fine...]

I have already shown submission to them.

I don't need to show my face anywhere near them.

While I don't know where the delinquents gather, I rarely see them in the dining hall.

[Umm, That is... I think that they don't want to meet me again]

[And why is that?]

[During the time I was a first year, in order to mess with Ariel, they picked a fight, and I ended up defeating them.]

[The two of them against you?]

[Yes, however that is... I think they might still be holding some resentment towards me.]

Indeed.

However if that's the case, it's definitely decided that Fitts-senpai is strong.

Fitts senpai took out Rinia and Pursena's 2v1 and Zanoba lost to their 2v1.

Since I beat Fitts, does that mean I am the strongest?

No way, right?

There would be an issue of affinity.

Good affinity as to whether or not he also could use the chantless incantation Disturb Magic now that I had used it on him.

But it could also be that it was just a surprise attack too.

[However if it's Rudeus-kun I think you'll be alright.]

[Now then, why's that?]

[Because there is no one in this school who can defeat me one-on-one. And even though I may appear this way, I had never lost until you.]

Although Fitts praises me by saying that, I would rather commend Fitts-senpai's disposition.

An undefeated person was defeated for the first time.

And to top it off he doesn't carry a grudge.

Are there no feelings of regret?

[That magic, was... called Disturb Magic? It was incredible! Teach me it next time.]

[Eh? Sure thing!]

I cheerfully consented.

If Fitts masters the Disturb Magic, it may become impossible to defeat him.

Even though I think that, I don't have the thought to decline teaching him.

[Ah, but since it's like that, take care of yourself.

Because some of those [Special Student]-types are rather eccentric...

The one called Cliff is quick to start a fight, and even Silent also caused a number of problems back when they were admitted. Furthermore, I even heard that there was a strange Elf adventurer who became a first year student. She has been attacking boys.]

Although I am not properly acquainted yet with the first two people mentioned, I am with the third person, though the meaning of "attacking” is a bit different.

[I'm the kind of person who will try and walk away if I can, instead of getting into a fight..]

While I was talking, we came to a fork in the road.

If I continue straight ahead, I will be at the women's dormitory.

Though it is not completely dark yet, I have never again had the nerve to walk down this road.

[Ah, I have errands from Ariel-sama that still need to be done.]

[Right. Thanks for your hard work today. Let's do it again sometime.]

[I don't have much time tomorrow, but I'll try and drop in at the library anyway.]

Fitts said that as he started walking towards the woman's dorm.

Free to come from and go to that garden of women... I don't really feel jealous,

Maybe it's because I still have the memories of Muscle-bomber-san from the other day.

...Or else.

Just maybe.

Is putting my trust in Fitts-senpai who can enter that garden of women the key to the ultimate reason I have entered this school for?

As of yet, I still cannot see the intention of Hitogami's advice.

Part 4

It has been decided that I will cooperate with Fitts-senpai in the matter of the metastasis research.

I think that he has become friendlier toward me.

Though I feel that it is something a bit more than just "Friendly."

I was glad that I was still able to build good relations with him.

He seems to be very mysterious.

[If I might ask, why does Senpai wear sunglasses?]

[Sunglasses...ah, you mean these glasses?]

Fitts-senpai has never taken off those sunglasses.

Certainly, never, however when do they come off?

[Well, there is a certain reason for it, however I cannot say what it is, I'm sorry.]

[It's fine.]

There was a certain part of his real face I wanted to see.

However, I didn't want there to be any ill feeling of me trying to forcibly see what he had a reason to hide.

[So, what floor of the dormitory does senpai live on?

I have never seen you there when it's time to eat.]

[Well, for the time being, when it comes to staying at the woman's dormitory, I am there only as a guard to Ariel-sama.]

So, does a problem never happen then?

However I remembered that if permission is received, one can bring a slave into the dormitory.

Though not a slave, because of matters of Royalty and Nobility, there is a little flexibility that can be requested.

There is a Noble with a maid in the boy's dormitory after all.

And naturally, it's because if the maid or servant causes a problem, the responsibility falls to the master.

Though Fitts-senpai handles the students, Ariel however has her charisma and the Asura Royal Family's power.

In addition, there is also the matter that Fitts-senpai himself is said to be trusted.

It was the girl named Goria-de-san... or was it Big Bang Vader -san, who also acknowledged Fitts-senpai's capability.

And, according to Elinalize's gossip, it seems that Fitts-senpai seems to be considerably popular among the girls.

The calls Luke gets of Kya~kya~ make him seem like a new guy trying to be trendy. When it comes to the Master, Fitts's listless face causes my heart to become completely twisted up.

Though when I talk to him, I get the feeling that he's not listless at all.

However I know what I want to say to him.

[Come to think of it, Senpai talks rather normally with me.]

[...?]

[I've heard you are a really reticent person though.]

[I, that is... I am really quite shy of people.]

Comparatively, I felt that he spoke to me as if he was myself.

Despite not being connected, could you call it 'being on the same wavelength'?

Anyway, as far as when it comes to common knowledge of the school, it's that Fitts says surprisingly next to nothing.

Coupled with the fact he can use chantless magic, he was given the name Fitts of the [Silence].

Or the [Silent Magician].

[Fitts-senpai's family name isn't "Raibakku" by any chance is it?]

[Eh? "Raibakku"... I think maybe the 2nd Generation North God has a name similar to that maybe? Perhaps it's different. Anyway I don't carry such a thing as a family name, since I am not a noble.]

[You're kidding! You wouldn't happen to consider cooking as one of your strong points?]

[Umm, I am able to cook... but what's that got to do with a family name...?]

My joke wasn't caught.

However was something funny? Fitts-senpai seemed to chuckle.

A man of many mysteries, Fitts-senpai.

Even why he is cooperative with me is a mystery.

But I have no particular plans to expose those mysteries.

The person in question is also clearly intending to keep it hidden.

And if that's the intention, then there is a reason for it.

To help the person hiding it, to expose it forcibly, I would never do such an ungrateful action.

Of course, it would be a lie to say I am not interested.

However, there is also Hitogami's advice.

And moving in accordance to Hitogami's advice, I have met Fitts-senpai.

From experience up until now, whenever I do something pertaining to Hitogami's advice, it seems to always affect some greater conclusion to an extent.

In other words, as long as I stay close to Fitts-senpai, a clue pertaining to my medical treatment will eventually be within reach.

I need not be in a hurry.

So I thought.
