Chapter 60

Packing

Yes, itโ€™s the morning of the day for practical training.

A cold winter morningโ€ฆ?!

Kuhuhu!

We were in a room at the academy, spreading out our luggage.

โ€œHonestlyโ€ฆ you always bring the strangest thingsโ€ฆโ€

The one stroking his long chin beard is old man Kuruges.

Heโ€™s an elderly man, over eighty years old, with a body as thin as a withered branch and a white beard that resembles dried leaves.

From beneath his unkempt, helmet-like hair, his eyes gleamed sharply for a moment.

Kuruges looked at the luggage Iโ€™d spread out and groaned bitterly.

โ€œWhat is this?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s a magic-powered two-wheeler. If you straddle it and turn the handle, it can go up to three times the speed of a horse.โ€

โ€œAnd this?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s a magic stove. If you turn this knob, fire comes out, and you can adjust it.โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s this box?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s a portable magic refrigerator. It keeps things cool, so you can store food. Itโ€™s filled with meat and fish.โ€

โ€œAnd this cloth?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s a foldable tent. Itโ€™s made from a special magical material that expands and can shelter up to ten people with a single touch.โ€

I answered each of his questions with a beaming smile.

Kuruges pinched the bridge of his nose and said,

โ€œโ€ฆ What exactly are you going for?โ€

โ€œA vacation!โ€

I gave him my biggest smile yet.

We were told that we could only bring what we could carry, so I decided to use the self-driving mode of the magic-powered two-wheeler to transport my gear. Itโ€™s a futuristic bike with wide tires, so thereโ€™s no worry about it tipping over.

I packed all kinds of fun things into a large hiking backpack. I also loaded as much as possible into the bikeโ€™s internal storage and seats.

I packed Adaโ€™s luggage according to my instructions.

Francisโ€ฆ oh, as expected, sheโ€™s used to this. From preserved foods to everything else, sheโ€™s got it all perfectly organized.

Yukiโ€ฆ seems fully ready for survival, wearing light gear and armed with knives and a bow. Looks like she plans on gathering food locally.

Grace, on the other hand, seemed unfamiliar with this kind of thing and got thoroughly criticized by Kuruges. However, she earned points for bringing insect repellant and medicines.

Half of the other students were a mess. Some of the idiots even tried to bring game consoles.

From what I saw, some people were in pretty dire straits.

There were those stuffing their bags with perishable food, some showing off expensive knives, and others going light because their luggage was too heavyโ€ฆ

Well, itโ€™s not my concern.

They can all make fools of themselves for all I care.

I enjoy knocking down those who act all high and mighty, so I donโ€™t plan on messing with the regular students much.

Itโ€™s only fun to say โ€œnoโ€ to people who think theyโ€™re strong. Bullying the weak isnโ€™t interesting.

โ€œAlright, letโ€™s get moving. Everyone, start walking!โ€

The old man Kuruges gave the signal, and the foolish kids started walking lazily.

The capable teams are different, you can tell from their walking style.

It might seem like just walking, but those with shallow thinking would never know that walking in a way that doesnโ€™t strain your legs and back takes practice.

Me?

Iโ€™m capable.

Thatโ€™s because I come from a good familyโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s the difference in cultural capital.

Since I was young, I experienced things like hiking and mountain climbing, so Iโ€™m naturally good at physical activities.

My fatherโ€ฆ no, not my jerk of a father in this life, I mean my previous lifeโ€™s father. He was an outdoorsman.

I was made to do all sorts of things, from Boy Scouts to bushcraftโ€ฆ

As I walk, I teach survival magic to my team members.

While at it, I teach Grace how to walk more comfortably.

โ€œPut some strength around here like thisโ€ฆโ€

โ€œHyaah?!โ€

โ€œHmm? You didnโ€™t even do any taping? Alright, stop, stop!โ€

Seriouslyโ€ฆ you wonโ€™t survive like this.

I wrapped tape around everyoneโ€™s legs except for Drill.

โ€œThis isโ€ฆ like shin guards?โ€ Yuki asked.

As expected, she knows her stuff.

โ€œThis is to protect your knees, but yeah, youโ€™ll also be wearing shin guards.โ€

โ€œBy the way, why do shin guards reduce fatigue?โ€

โ€œAh, it prevents blood congestion.โ€

โ€œBlood congestion?โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆ if you walk too much, the blood concentrates in your legs. If too much gathers in one spot, it can rot, so you need to be careful.โ€

โ€œHmmโ€ฆ then why doesnโ€™t the heart rot?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s because~โ€ฆโ€

As I explain, I massage the girlsโ€™ legs.

Hmm, nice legs.

I canโ€™t help but press my cheek against Graceโ€™s leg.

โ€œN-Noโ€ฆ this is wrongโ€ฆโ™กโ€

She says no, but her blushing cheeks say otherwise.

Ahh, forget class, letโ€™s just start hereโ€ฆ

โ€œStop fooling around.โ€

Tch, that old man Kurugesโ€ฆ

โ€œWhat do you want?โ€

โ€œIf I take my eyes off you, youโ€™ll definitely cheat.โ€

โ€œI wonโ€™t.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll be the judge of that.โ€

Well, heโ€™s got a point.

โ€œAnd, since sheโ€™s part of your group, you better treat the princess the same way. If even one member drops out, youโ€™ll all be held accountable.โ€

โ€œHuh? You shouldโ€™ve said that beforehand.โ€

โ€œIdiot. If I gave you all the evaluation criteria, that would be the same as giving you the answers. Consider it a kindness that I even mentioned shared responsibility!โ€

Heโ€™s annoyingly right about that.

We resume moving.

โ€œDonโ€™t rush your pace. If you feel any discomfort, like blisters, report it immediately.โ€

As I say that, I shoot a magic arrow without chanting, piercing the head of a wolf hiding in the grass along the road.

Without even a death cry, the wolf crumbles in one hit.

Thereโ€™s a small hole about the size of a penny in its forehead, allowing me to see the scenery through the back of its head. The air flows right through it, something this country could take notes on.

Now thenโ€ฆ

When Iโ€™m outdoors by myself, I enjoy thinking deeply or emptying my mind.

But right now, Iโ€™m surrounded by beautiful girls, so I might as well enjoy some conversation.

โ€œAda.โ€

โ€œYes?โ€

โ€œHowโ€™s your studies going?โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve mostly understood the M language.โ€

โ€œSo, you fully understand it? Could it be the Dunning-Kruger effect?โ€

โ€œNoโ€ฆ Iโ€™d say mostly. As long as the requirements are clearly defined, I think I can help with the downstream processes.โ€

โ€œHm. Canโ€™t handle the upstream yet?โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t have enough experience yetโ€ฆโ€

Well, that makes senseโ€ฆ

โ€œIโ€™ll keep an eye on your progress, so come see me regularly.โ€

โ€œOutside of our scheduled meetings?โ€

โ€œYeah. Besides coming at night to be held by me, feel free to come anytime to ask for guidance.โ€

โ€œThank you! That makes me so happy!โ€

โ€œAlan and Betty are catching up quickly. Donโ€™t lose to them, okay?โ€

โ€œYes, sir!โ€

A story in which the heroine begs for the enemy's life

Reincarnated into another world! A programmer who died on Earth wakes up to find himself a baby in a fantasy world! Though it may seem like a fantasy world, magic is processed in a computer-program-like manner for some reason! Being an Earth programmer, he can manipulate spells to wield powerful magic! It's cheating! Totally OP! I see, it's a common setup. ...But there's one problem. This guy is fatally unsuited to be the protagonist.
