32 – Can’t see the front (1)

“Everyone go that far, everyone sit down.”

As I was chatting about open classes with Adele and Karina, Professor Javert came in before I knew it and pulled us apart.

You must have been in the classroom from the beginning. I didn’t say hello

I got goosebumps at the sudden disturbing thought, but there was nothing I could do about it because it was already in the past.

‘Don’t worry, I just came in.’

“······Really?”

‘You don’t believe me?’

No, well… If you say that, there’s nothing else to say.

I was speechless and decided to go to my seat and sit down.

‘There is a desk in front of it. Go away.’

“······This way?”

Careful! If you go like that, you will collide!’

FYI, even the act of going to my seat and sitting down was a very difficult task for me, like eating rice cake while standing on my hands.

I would have done it with my eyes closed if it was normal. It made me realize that the simple things I want to do are never easy because I’m really blind.

“······· Haa.”

Until now, I could only sigh at the valuable experience that money could not buy, which taught me that I may have lived a happier life than I thought.

My head ached at the thought that this valuable experience would last for quite some time.

“······How long does this condition last?”

‘I’ve said it before, but it’s unpredictable. There is nothing wrong with the contractor’s body and magical power itself.’

“Why is my eyesight like this when my physical condition is fine?”

‘······That I have no way of knowing…’

“···”

What would be the point of arguing with Ifrit? It was my karma for ignoring Ifrit’s words that stopped me and ignorantly using the 6th circle magic.

Anyway, with the help of Ifrit, I barely managed to get into my seat (I forgot to say anything, but the staff suddenly disappeared when I entered the classroom), when I heard Professor Javert talking in front.

“······We talked about it yesterday, but because of this incident, our Selenium Academy has lost the trust of parents.”

Maybe I was saying it again for myself who didn’t hear it because I was lying down all day in the health room yesterday.

I think it was worth losing trust… It’s like an attempt to kill all the students at the academy that teaches students who should be the safest in the world. Even if I were in the position of a parent, I would not have tried to send my child back home right away.

Even if it was done by just one academy professor alone.

‘In a way, it’s the academy’s fault for not being able to manage the academy professor who acted so arbitrarily.’

I wonder if the academy is at fault for failing to take responsibility and select proper professors.

That was my opinion.

“So, to restore the collapsed trust, the academy is planning to hold an ‘open class’ in which students’ classes are open to the public for the first time since the establishment, and the target will be you, the first class who went through the incident.”

I already knew about it thanks to what I had heard from Karina and Adele earlier, but there was a clear difference between hearing it from a student and hearing it directly from a professor.

If I heard it like a rumor when I heard it from Karina and Adele, should I say it sounded like a serious announcement when I heard it from Professor Javert? No matter which way I listened to it, there was no difference.

“Open classes are scheduled to start tomorrow, Wednesday, and will be held for a total of three days from Wednesday to Friday.”

The fact that open classes will be held for 3 days, and “Parents who will be watching your classes will also arrive in the capital from this evening at the earliest.” Let’s listen to Professor Javert’s words.

‘······· Haa.’

Of course I sighed deeply.

There was no way the Count and Countess would attend public classes just to see something like me. Or maybe you’ll die in the woods. It’s a pity,’ you might be thinking.

‘I can’t believe it’s that much.’

“······I think it’s worth it.”

Ifrit asked me as if it were a nonsense idea, but I thought it was a possibility.

Because before I regained my memories, ‘I’ was a guy who couldn’t even hear such thoughts or sounds.

Maybe that’s why, in one part of my heart, I thought that it was a good thing. If the count came here, there was a high probability that he would spit bitter words at me, but if other students witnessed it, it was clear that my trashy image would fall into even more mud.

In that case, it was a good thing for both of us not to participate in public classes, at least for the sake of my academy life and the precious time the count couple had.

‘······My heart hurts.’

Ifrit thinks that I didn’t fall down, he left a low word.

“······It’s my karma.”

I, realizing that everything that happened like this was my karma, also muttered quietly.

Because all of this happened because of ‘me’ before I regained my memories. No matter what kind of comparison I faced in my childhood, it was entirely my responsibility to be crooked.

It was only natural that I had to go through this because I did something off-topic on a mere extra-topic.

Lack of sight? Having a disease that you shouldn’t have suffered from? Taking classes alone in an open class where everyone else’s parents attend?

It was an ordeal I had to endure as I dared to hurt the main character and important characters.

Even if it was unfair.

***

As I was in the midst of self-abasement, the words that would sound like thunder to the students came out of Professor Javert’s mouth.

“With this enough, I’ve conveyed everything I need to convey to you, now take out the books.”

“Ah…”

At Professor Javert’s words to start class, complaints from students came out from all sides, but Professor Javert didn’t seem to have any intention of giving up his will.

“Learning is much more important after an incident like this. So stop talking and get out the book.”

“Ah…”

Professor Javert didn’t say anything wrong, so even though everyone didn’t like it, he seemed to nod and take out the book.

“······Show me what book to get out, Ifrit?”

Indeed, I was engrossed in worrying about what book to bring out without even complaining.

There were many books caught in the bag, but there was no way to know which one was which.

As usual, I would have just checked which book Professor Javert had taken out and then taken out the book. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the eyesight to see what book Professor Javert had pulled out.

So I asked Ifrit with a small mutter.

‘······Something seems to have taken out a blue book.’

I asked Ifrit, who had never experienced a class like this before, but it didn’t help much.

A person who has been through that situation for the first time… No, if you ask the spirit, how much help can you get?

As I was wandering around not knowing which book to take out, I heard Professor Javert’s voice speaking directly to me from the front.

“······Lian Kindred? Why aren’t you pulling out any books?”

I will.

I want to take it out quickly, too. What if i can’t see

I thought I wanted to say that, but it was like a chimney.

– You can’t see your eyes…? Could it be because of me…?

I couldn’t help thinking of Adele, who would be shocked to learn that I had lost her eyesight.

When I felt other students staring at me even though I didn’t see it that way, and thinking I had to say something, I put my hand in the drawer of the empty desk and rummaged through it.

Teouk-

“······· Huh?”

I grabbed something that felt like a book in a drawer where there was nothing there until now.

Just in case, I picked up the book and put it on the desk.

“Okay, now you’ve got your books out. Looks like everyone is ready, so let’s start class.”

I heard Professor Javert’s voice sounding satisfied.

“·······What?”

It’s obviously a drawer that had nothing on it until just now. All of a sudden, a book came into existence, exactly the grimoire I thought I needed?

“Ifri…”

I wondered if Ifrit felt anything in this unknown situation, but I tried to get rid of my luck.

‘I didn’t feel anything either.’

Ifrit seemed to be unaware of the situation as well.

“······It has been resolved, so is it okay?”

Thinking that good is good, I tried my best to overcome this completely incomprehensible situation.

Yes, as you live, you may suddenly find a book you need in your desk drawer. Well, it’s not uncommon.

‘It seems to be a very rare occurrence.’

I opened the book in my hand, ignoring the spirit’s bitter voice that always pierced my ears whenever I said useless things.

“Oh.”

And as I opened the book, a thought passed through my head.

“······How do I read books?”

“···”
