Here's a bonus chapter :)

***

The events of the lunch break spread throughout the school like an avalanche. A male student invited to a meal by a beautiful girl who everyone in the school knows. Moreover, the male student is a student who can't keep up in school since school started.

After the lunch break, Nozomu returned to the classroom and was greeted by the countless gazes of his classmates.

"I think we have already learned that in addition to the abilities that are manifested in individuals, there are abilities that are manifested by races, but depending on the race, the effects of these abilities are also known that there are superiority and inferiority in the acquisition of skills such as magic. "

Jirojiro ………………. (TL : sfx for Stare)

The eyes of the students are full of jealousy and hostility, and they are not favorable at all.

"During the great invasion 10 years ago, because a single race, the elf country "Nebra", which stands out from other races in terms of protection, was destroyed before the invasion of the demon beast. It became clear that a single race could not counter this invasion. That is why this school was founded, and the familiarity and cooperation of various races ...... "

By the way, the content of the lesson is history. It is a class about the history of the continent before and after the great invasion.

As expected, no student was involved with Nozomu during the lesson, but that was just the story during the class. When it's time for a break ...

"Damn, what is that ..."

"Why is he ........."

"…………kill"

He can hear voices of resentment.

"... If you have something to say, come from the front."

Mars complained, but Nozomu had no choice but to laugh bitterly.

"Mars, the teacher is calling."

"What's with that?"

One male student tells him that the teacher who was teaching earlier is calling.

"Isn't it better to hurry Mars? That teacher will make a fuss if you are late."

"I know. I'll go for a bit."

When Mars left his seat and disappeared from the side of Nozomu, the surrounding malicious gossips became blatantly louder.

(Well ... this is, it can't be helped)

Nozomu knows enough about what the students at this school think of him. He has been cursed and despised for nearly two years. It was particularly terrible during the first year, and before the rumors with Lisa went down, he was assaulted by lynching.

He was summoned to the back of the school building and beaten, kicked, and sometimes attacked with magic by multiple students.

His belongings were hidden and shattered with abusive words.

Because of those treatments, the pain that ran in his mind and body, the days when he was emptying his heart and spending time like a doll ………….

"Hey, drop out"

When Nozomu's thoughts were reminiscing about the past, Nozomu noticed a voice calling him.

Classmate boys are gathering around Nozomu's desk. The number is about 10. The one who talked to him is a student who used to be around Mars.

"Come for a bit!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Male students grabbed Nozomu's chest and took Nozomu out of the classroom by force.

Mars is called by the teacher and he is not in the classroom. Perhaps the schoolboys were aiming for a time when Mars would leave Nozomu.

The other students didn't seem to help. Nozomu resisted but couldn't compete with their strength, and he has been taken out of the classroom while being dragged away.

***

Mars is in the instructor's office when Nozomu has taken out of the classroom.

"What is it? errand?"

Mars asks the teacher in charge of the lesson about the matter, but his attitude is not very nice toward the teacher.

"? ... do you need something?"

"Haa? You probably asked the students for a message to me that I had something to do."

"? I don't remember doing that."

"…………what!"

What does this mean? Surely, I heard that I had something to do and that Nozomu heard that too. However, he says he has no business.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, but what's with your attitude? You have no attitude toward the elders. In the first place ..."

…………Wait. Why was it a message in the first place? At that time, it was just after the class was over. He doesn't have to ask for a message, he can say it himself. ………… Maybe the purpose is not me ………….

"Are you listening! Why are you so"

"It’s bad! I should do something !!

"Oi, come back here! "

***

Nozomu was taken to the back of the school building. The students block the path of his retreat so that Nozomu cannot escape.

The students who surrounded the area uniformly glared at Nozomu and struck killing gazes.

"Hey, spill it out already! What on earth did you do!"

"Why are you with Irisdina-san!"

And the one-sided questioning begins. They only think that Nozomu has deceived or threatened Irisdina.

For students, Irisdina is a longing existence. She is a girl of the same age as them and has reached the rank of A, which is a first-class standing.

Moreover, her appearance is so beautiful that she seems to be a goddess. They may have different feelings towards her, but no one would think that a man like Nozomu, who is said to be a dropout is suitable for her.

"This bastard, it's decided that the black-haired princess will be victimized this time, like when he was with the red-haired princess. It's necessary to re-educate him well before it becomes something like a year ago... "

The classmate who brought up the rumors with Lisa. They grinned and approached Nozomu.

Recalling about Lisa, Nozomu's chest squeaked and Nozomu's face is slightly distorted.

"Keep quiet. We're not demons, and we'll finish it right away."

"Ku!"

When the student who was around Mars said so, Nozomu was suddenly hit. Nozomu squeezes the fist approaching his face with one hand.

Perhaps he is frustrated by being parried by Nozomu, the male student hit him continuously but since the previous movement was completely comprehended, Nozomu continues to avoid it unharmed. Now Nozomu can exchange punches with Mars if he concentrates. It is unlikely that he will be hit by the fist of a 10th class student on a one-on-one basis.

"Chi, Wait, don't move !!"

Perhaps he is frustrated that his fist keeps being avoided, the movement of the other party becomes even more sloppy. Nozomu moves forward, at the same time straight aiming at his face, he put the center of gravity of the opponent on the waist and pulled the opponent's arm that stretched out at once.

He turns forward the other male student with the same momentum, the male student's back is slammed on the ground and moaned like a crushed frog, "Gue!".

"This guy!"

"I'll torture you till death"

Nozomu's unexpected resistance hits the students around him. Nozomu moves around in the same way as the group battles so far and handles while moving so as not to deal with multiple people at once. Surrounded from the beginning, the back of the school building is not very large, and it is not possible to maintain one-on-one at all times, so it is a fairly close balance.

The situation makes the boys even more frustrated. For them, Nozomu is nothing more than a scarecrow to relieve their irritation.

They were also always looked down upon by other classes as the lower class humans of the 10th class. So far, they had vented their anger on Nozomu, who was the lowest in their bottom class.

The resistance of Nozomu was unexpected for them. When they used to persecute Nozomu, Nozomu was almost not resisting. However, now Nozomu is directly resisting the boys who are hitting him. Moreover……

"Fu~!"

In the gap where he evaded the big hook, he strengthens his fist with Qi and strikes the opponent's solar plexus, and a male student who was struck at a vital point faints in agony and collapses.

Until now, Nozomu was not very aggressive about attacks, but gradually he became more aggressive.

Nozomu was frustrated when he remembered the mock battle with Mars at the beginning of the third year, but now he has come to use his own skills to the extent that there is no problem in some cases.

However, his technique is still very deadly, so it's still difficult to use .......

That was the growth of Nozomu.

He has been running away, stopping with his dreams as an excuse, and looking away from his surroundings.

He realized that he is still running away, and he couldn't move forward, but when he got a friend and used his power in public, it is proof that he started to move, albeit a little. 

(Ku! As I thought, there are too many!)

However, no matter how good Nozomu's skill is, many people are out of his control. Moreover, his katana is left in the classroom. He also has a bad place to fight. The back of the school building is small and difficult to move around. Although he managed to handle it, Nozomu, who had a handicap in physical ability and did not have any advantage, had no way to overcome it.

(Anyway, I should get out of this place one way or another)

"Goun!"

(Wh, what !?)

He was wondering how to get through this place, but suddenly he felt a vibration of magical power, and when he looked in the direction, one male student was trying to activate his magic.

"This damn guy! I'll kill you !!"

The boy who was trying to use magic was the student who had been beaten by Nozomu and was in agony. His eyes were bleeding and apparently lost his composure.

"What!"

"Damn! Do you want to get us involved!"

The magic was activated at the same time as the other students surrounding Nozomu left the side of Nozomu all at once.

The magic directed at Nozomu is the *Earth-Snake Whip*.

The soil of the earth rolled up, and multiple whips were constructed from the soil, and those whips attacked all at once.

"Dangerous!!"

Nozomu jumps out of the spot. Immediately afterward, the earth-whips passed by Nozomu, literally rampaging like snakes.

"Crush him! Garbage waste bastard !!"

However, it is not over yet. The snakes that passed by Nozomu shook themselves and attacked Nozomu again.

However, due to the instability of the caster's mind, the movement of the earth snake is indiscriminate. There is no mercy in each blow, and every time the whip hits the ground, the soil rolls up and pebbles pop around. Nevertheless, it's not justifiable to strike Nozomu, whose effect of the Qi technique is weak.

"Kuh, this, uwa!"

Nozomu dodges a group of unorthodox whips with full strength and physical handling, but the earth snake's movement itself is faster, and finally, he is surrounded.

"It's the end!!"

Along with that voice, the earth snakes flooded Nozomu all at once. The orbit of the whip urges Nozomu to be swept away from four directions: front, top, left, and right. There are no gaps to dodge, and there is no advantage, so he can't overcome them.

"Still not enough!" 

Nozomu still resists. If there is no gap to dodge, then he will make it!

Nozomu rushes towards the front whip. Accelerate at a stretch with the Qi technique "Instant Move", send Qi to his left arm with full power, and extremely compress it.

He attaches his right hand to his left arm and sticks it forward, sliding the earth whip that attacks from the front.

"Guu~u~u~u~u!"

An earth weapon that can easily beat a person, scrapes off the skin of his left arm, but the whip slides over his extremely compressed left arm, diverting its trajectory and passing over Nozomu's head. Nozomu rushes towards the student who was using the magic.

"Wha, no way !!"

"Uoooooooo!"

The opponent did not think that Nozomu would avoid his magic and was completely defenseless. Moreover, the magic of this kind of system rendered the caster immovable while still using the magic.

Nozomu tries to hit him with his right hand while keeping the momentum of the rush, but...... 

"Don't become conceited! Drop out !!"

Suddenly, magic bullet attacks from the side. Nozomu turns around and dodges, but more magic attacks him.

He couldn't dodge and was blown away and slammed against the wall of the school building.

"Gua!"

It was the other students who used the magic, students who were evacuated because they were about to get caught up in the "Earth-Snake Whip".

"What are you going to do, drop out ..."

"It's bad ..."

When the boys who pulled Nozomu confirmed each other, they see Nozomu blown away. Nozomu managed to get up, but he was obviously injured and his movement to get up was awkward.

"I'm having a hard time."

When the male student who was about to be defeated by Nozomu complains, he shoots a magic bullet. Nozomu avoids it by rolling on the ground, but the classmates who saw it fired magic bullets at Nozomu one after another.

"Look. That awkward appearance!"

"It's dirty, can you avoid it a little more decently?"

"Hahahaha! How long can you avoid it?"

As if the appearance of Nozomu desperately avoiding was very interesting, the students fired magic while sneering.

Although it is not a beautiful way to avoid it, Nozomu keeps avoiding and resisting.

(Not yet, I can't just give up because of something like this!)

What drives the current Nozomu is the intention to "resist". It was pure anger at the unreasonable treatment.

However, his limit is coming. Being hit by an inevitable magic bullet causes his posture to collapse, and a swarm of magic bullets approaches. The power of each one is low, but there are many, and if they hit him properly, he will be seriously injured.

Still, Nozomu didn't give up. He has seen something even more incredible than something like this.

Tiamat's giant flame. Shino's skill. Rugato's multiple magic.

Knowing that the magic bullets approaching him were a threat, did not cause him to look away.

The moment when the magic that was approaching in front of Nozomu seemed to hit him. An arrow ran through Nozomu's eyes and swept away the swarm of magic bullets. 

"What!"

"Who! Who disturbed us!!"

When the classmates shouted and looked in the direction of the arrow flying, a maiden is holding a bow.

"What did you do? What are you doing in such a place?"

A bell-like voice echoed around.

The maiden has long, bluish straight hair fluttering, and her bangs fastened with a black cloth headband ...

"I'll ask you again. What were you doing here?"

Above all, her long ears were visible through her hair.
