Seirei Tsukai to Shinjuu Tsukai no Shounen v1c1

In that kind of pleasant weather, Akito was walking inside the forest alone.

“Fuu, I shouldn’t walk too far ”

After he wipe his sweat with the sleeve of his uniform, he stretch myself.

A lot of spirits live here. This place is called “Spirit Forest”.

The characteristic of this forest is that a lot of spirit lives there, wild boars and birds can be seen a lot too.

However, the spirits who live in this forest aren’t only this kind of wonderful spirit. Among the spirits, there are also many dangerous spirits specialize in combat live here too. Of course, there are some that indiscriminately attacked people.

Because while he is an existence that can be said as a spirit user, he doesn’t have any contracted spirit. Without the power of spirit, there is no way he will be able to fight the spirit.

His aim is the beautiful lake inside “Spirit Forest”, “Spirit Lake”. In there it is said that there are spirits that is relatively easy to communicate.

Most of the students, make a short trip there to make the contract immediately after entrance ceremony, making the contract after communicating with the spirit. But last year, he wasn’t able to make any contract with those spirits.

Thanks to that, he is the lowest ranked person in the academy. He was immediately branded as “The Dunce”, he was very frustrated.

Until the spirit comes by itself, He won’t approach it forcefully. That’s the basic of the ironclad rule when communicating with spirits. Akito follows that, keep looking at it,and waiting for it to come.

“Kyuru?”

Finally, the spirit draws close to his foot and then he hold the spirit in his arms. He was relieved… That the spirit didn’t get scared.

“Let’s see… Water element spirit. Rank D. And it’s cute!”

By the way, the rank he just said is the rank of the spirit. The criteria for evaluation are not known, but it’s said to be its combat capabilities.

Then the rank of the spirit is said to be related to the growth of the contractor, it is said that it will rise as they grow together. Actually the spirits that live here are mostly rank D, but there are upperclassmen in the academy that had raised it to a strong rank A too.

Spirit Armament : Undeployable

Spirit Magic Amount : Unmeasurable (Estimated more than A)

Overall Evaluation : E (Proximity Type)

It’s like that. Spirit magic is a magic that uses the power of spirit, without having contracted spirit, of course he can’t use it. Spirit armament is out of question, you can’t use it unless you are genuinely communicating with the spirits.

“Kyu? Kyuru!”

“Kyuru!”

After he saw the water spirit nodded again, he decided to be ready. Then he held up his left hand towards the water spirit, He chanted the incantation of the contract ceremony that is used in a spirit contract.

— Protecting the beautiful water, O water spirit which nurtures the source of life! Now, answer my thought, that power ———

However, his incantation didn’t continue until the end. An intense light suddenly surged from the back of his right hand, he stopped the incantation.

“Kyu… Kyuru!?”

Afraid of the light, the water spirit ran away. Then, The many spirits inside the lake also hid themselves.

“What is that…. jeez!”

Akito slammed the ground with his fist, and looked at the back of his right hand irritatedly.

Because I don’t have anything to do, I daydream while looking to the outside. Akito’s seat is especially pleasant as it’s by the window. From here, school’s battlefield can be seen well.

I overcame the teachers that asked me to withdraw from the tournament, I remembered my pitiful defeat without able to do anything. When I realized it, I was gritting my teeth.

(I wonder if I should quit school…)

While thinking that seriously, I let out a sigh. When I entered this academy, my chest was filled with hope, but it’s just despair everyday now. Of course, I don’t have any regrets.

Although it’s said that I have talent, I’m the lowest leftover in the academy… Eh? When I thought about that, tears had come out.

“Small fry should act like a small fry, and be quiet”

A harsh voice can be heard. When I look at the corridor feeling anxious, my classmate had fell down in front of 2 men. From his uniform, a smoldering and light burning smell can be smelt.

“Huh? Bastard, what did you say with your disgusting face? Just quickly apologize, trash”

“I will absolutely kill you”

As expected, the man is enraged, finally raised his right hand. And then

“Burn you trash! Scorching fire bullet!!!”

Suddenly a flame bullet appears in the man’s palm. This is bad… This is

“Take this!!”

The fire bullet is emitted together with a shout. No matter how much his martial arts surpassed him, he can’t guard against this. Moreover, now he is in a narrow corridor. He has to avoid it…

But, that fireball doesn’t reach him.

(Wh, What what!?)

Akito opened his eyes while being puzzled. Then, there was the thing he wished just now, the spirit magic water wall was protecting him.

“What are you doing? Jeez”

When Akito looks back, there is a girl. The girl with light blue hair is walking while sweeping softly their shoulder with her hand. In that hand, spirit armament in the form of bow is being held.

(Asha Anlayhaim[1]…)

Akito gulps. That girl is without a doubt, one of the few A-ranked spirit users in this grade.

(If I remember correctly, it’s her spirit armament “Shower Tempest”….)

Akito naturally directed his sight there. The light blue bow that she carried, should be her B-rank spirit’s transformation.[2]

It seems that the man is also surprised by her talent. Well, the number of A-rank spirit user is also not many in number, if it can be said of course, then of course…

“Chi, here comes the honor student-sama. What’?”

Rather, she was just looking at the man’s direction unfazedly…. Thinking that, Akito laughed.

“Ha! Doesn’t Honor student-sama also used her spirit magic too. Moreover even deploying a spirit armament”

“He is the one that started it, right?”

Even while his heart was beating fast from this, he tried to answer calmly.

“My classmate, he was bullied by that person”

When Akito said that, she let out a sigh “Haa…”. Because it’s known that Akito is the dunce who doesn’t have contracted spirit.

“…as you said”

Asha said while being amazed, Akito wanted to cry. Or rather, the tears had already come out.

“Well, This time please end it here just with this injury. Next time, I will personally accompany you, ok?”

She said that while lowering her bow. Then immediately “Paaa!”, it started disappearing.

“…Chi …You should watch out next time! Dunce”

While making a big clicking sound with his tongue, he dragged his friend, and left. It ended peacefully, Akito felt relieved.

“Thanks. I was saved.”

Akito deeply bowed to Asha. Then she rubbed her slightly blushed cheek.

“Well, you also be careful! There are also bad spirit users.”

She left while waving her hand. Towards her, he shouted “Thanks!” and waving his hand for a while, I saw her off until I can’t see her figure.

Halfway to the infirmary, Akito let out a sigh while having that kind of though.
