Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy

It was because of Karl’s kindness that I was able to start proper training.

Without knowing anything, just moving my body recklessly like I did in the game, Karl was the one who first reached out to me.

If it hadn’t been for him, I would have kept training alone until I entered the academy.

And only when it was time for the academy entrance exam would I have realized the gap between the game and reality.

That swinging a weapon with a mouse click is nothing like actually fighting in person.

If it hadn’t been for Karl, if he hadn’t been the one to reach out first, no one would have thought to help Lucy Allen. They wouldn’t have believed that Lucy was trying to change.

Now, holding my shield and mace, I survey my surroundings, feeling a certain emptiness from the lack of something that should have been there.

The gazes of the knights watching me and Karl are filled with curiosity, expectation, and envy.

When I had just been bestowed with memories from another world, there wasn’t even a trace of goodwill in the knights’ gazes.

Back then, I had recklessly poured all my sorrow onto those around me.

Who would have liked someone like that? A person who would hurl verbal abuse at anyone whose gaze met theirs. For someone to reach out to me, it must have taken a lot of courage.

Just that single act of courage made Karl worthy of being called my benefactor.@@novelbin@@

“Ready?”

When I asked, Karl nodded and wrapped his aura around his sword.

The colored aura clearly told me that he wasn’t planning on going easy on me. That was only natural.

The situation between us had been reversed.
