I Became an Academy Overpowered Dual Swordsman

44 – Field Trips



Time flies, and today is the day to go on a field trip. All first graders are out and waiting for the magic bus in the playground.

This time, both the teachers and the students seemed excited, as befits a real play day. And I stand at the front of my class line and become the teacher’s talk partner.

“Did the class president bring any snacks?”

The bag the teacher is currently carrying is about to explode.

“I didn’t bring it.”

“The class president should lead by example! Didn’t you bring a lunchbox?”

No, our homeroom teacher always tried to keep these things strictly. Follow the rules well

But there is another reason. The reason why I didn’t bring snacks and lunches, it’s such a waste to fill my stomach with these. Because there is Magical Fried Chicken in Lana Village.

When I told her that, the teacher nodded her head in sympathy.

“Ah… That’s right! It’s so popular. I wonder what it tastes like.”

“What should I say. A bit of a pungent taste?”

Anyway, it was remarkably different from the taste I had eaten in the real world, and it was a taste that I kept thinking about.

“Have you eaten the class president?”

“No. I saw it on New Tube.”

Ugh-

At that time, a bus slowly began to descend from the sky. It’s a landscape that you just can’t get used to.

At first, I thought the magic bus was the magic science Song Da-eun was looking for.

However, the two were distinctly different. Putting magic on the car you made is a magic bus, and magic science harmonizes magic and science… I don’t know what the difference is while explaining.

Anyway, since they say it’s different, I guess I should. Has the original author conflicted with the settings once or twice?

After a while, in front of Lana Village, buses line up and park their cars in the parking lot. The last time I came, the village that seemed like a wasteland had all gone and turned into a noisy market.

“Isn’t there a slime forest in front of the village?”

I know there was even a warning attached to it to warn that monsters appear, but it disappeared without a trace.

“Ahahahaha. News from our class president is slow.”

“Yes?”

“They say slimes haven’t appeared in the forest since the SS caught the ancient devil slimes.”

There was such a story. In addition to that, it was quite different from the Lana village I had been to before, so it took some getting used to.

The entrance to the village, a statue modeled after the ancient devil slime. And at the beginning of the introduction below it, [Thanks to the unknown wizard SS.] Was written.

“hahahaha.”

This is really embarrassing, so I don’t know what to do. While waiting in line at the entrance of the village, the village chief appeared. The manager immediately approached him and shook his hand.

“You must be busy with the town tourism business… Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to do so.”

“No. The Delaon Academy, which is called #1…”

He looked at me in the lead and grinned. He was bandaged up from last time he injured his head. It seems to have been completely cured now.

“If it was another academy, I might have turned it down, but this place is special.”

It was as if the words were written with me in mind. The director thanked him once more and looked at the first-year students who were standing in line.

“Did you hear that? As a student at the prestigious academy, don’t do anything to embarrass them! Don’t go out of town.”

At that time, a curious-looking student raised his hand and said this.

“Can’t I enter the ruins where the Ancient Devil Slime was?!”

The general manager answered him very simply.

“If you go in, you will die.”

“…”

“When you say this, it sounds like I’m killing you.”

“Wasn’t it…?”

It was said that there is a trap magic circle that has not yet been removed, and that the Witchbeast Association is responsible for managing it because they do not know what monsters may be lurking in the ruins.

“For that reason, ordinary people cannot enter.”

“I see. How did the SS get through that and catch the slime?”

I went back and forth with a sword. I had to do it unexpectedly. Next, another student raised his hand.

“Who is SS?”

Everybody only asks about SS how big the ripple effect is. However, the chief shook his head and replied:

“Unfortunately, I can’t talk about him because I cast a very powerful silence spell.”

“Well, it won’t be so easy to find out.”

On the other hand, the manager scolded the student who asked such a question and added the following.

“Didn’t I tell you not to embarrass the villagers? Don’t bother asking each and every villager who the SS is. Chief, if there are any students who do such a thing, please tell me.”

“Heh heh. I see.”

The field trip learning routine was very simple. You just have to roam around the town freely until 4pm. I take care of my own lunch, and if something happens, I call my homeroom teacher.

Where should I go first? I heard there is a museum, shall we go there?

When I was deep in thought, Sohee and Harin approached me. Harin greeted me first.

“Where is the class president going?”

“Hmm. I’d like to go to the museum first.”

“That’s great. Let’s go together!”

That’s how we arrived at the Rana Village Museum.

I looked for something, and there were slime trophies, ice bombs used to catch them, etc. On display.

“Look at this, Sohee. She threw an ice bomb and froze the slime because she couldn’t use ice magic.”

“It’s pretty primitive, but it must have been effective.”

“Poop.”

Well, it would be more strange not to think of Sohee as primitive in her personality.

“Why, why are you laughing, class president?”

“No. I just want to think that my weapons are also primitive.”

“Whoa, it’s primitive… But at the same time it’s special.”

“But how do you catch slimes with a sword?”

Harin attended the conversation out of pure curiosity.

“I need to freeze it and then cut it.”

“Even if it’s not a sword, ice is essential for slime, so you must wear an ice wizard.”

“I see. So, did the SS use ice magic to catch the Ancient Devil Slime?”

“Perhaps.”

Sohee thought deeply and suddenly made an expression of realization. And then he looked into my eyes.

“…Isn’t it?”

“What?”

“No.”

Maybe what you’re thinking is right. Sohee. Meanwhile, I heard a familiar voice and looked up to find Song Da-eun talking to a museum official.

“Ice bombs… Can’t you take them out?”

“Yes.”

“It’s a pity. Can’t you try to explode it?”

“…Yes.”

If you show the ice bomb, it will be of great help to Song Da-eun’s research. Besides the museum, there’s always someone to show you the ice bomb.

Lunch time, Magical Fried Chicken Hope main store.

I heard that the business was so good that it had expanded to the 5th store without realizing it.

“Whoops…”

The daughter of a chicken restaurant I haven’t seen in a long time. She looked at me with a strange smile.

“The school uniform really suits you.”

“Thank you.”

Harin noticed her smile and asked if she knew her. Come to think of it, she doesn’t have to pretend to be a stranger. You can just hide the fact that you are SS and just say that you met on another occasion.

“Yes. I have been to this village before. How is Aunt Yewon?”

Immediately she answered her words.

“Then~ I’ll be coming to see you soon?”

“Whoops.”

Good. You don’t have to go looking for me. Let’s wait slowly while eating chicken.

What to eat…

Fries are essential…

“Wow, but there are a lot of really new menu items.”

“I order a lot of what I want to eat. I saw my teeth and face today, but they don’t take money!”

She shouted loudly in front of the counter.

“Students of Delaon Academy! Eat as much as you want for free, everyone. I’m closing my business today!!!”

Amidst the cheers of the students, the voice of the homeroom teacher was heard.

“Teachers are not free…”

“…Will do.”

“Whoa!”

Since you’re a new teacher, it’s still in the middle of nowhere. There was an empty seat and I sat there.

“Oh yeah! Thanks to the class president, we got to eat free chicken? Come to think of it, thanks to the class president, we skipped class and decorated the commendation last time. Oh, of course, Sohee was also present at that time.”

Meanwhile, she found Song Da-eun standing stiffly in the chicken house.

“There’s only one table left here. Can I have you eat with me?”

“Does class president Song Da-eun know?”

“It’s the same club as me and Sohee.”

“Oh right. It was the Magic Research Club… I fell there.”

Harin laughs awkwardly.

“Anyway, Sohee should be more nervous.”

“My, why am I nervous?!”

When I had Da-eun sit in her empty seat, I nodded and said thank you.

“With this, everyone has gathered! The 2nd, 22nd, 122nd, and 222nd places in the entire school have all gathered.”

“…”

I feel like I’m missing a few things, but I decided to skip it.

“What were you doing at the museum earlier?”

“Ah…I wanted to dissect the ice bomb in detail, but they said it would be difficult. It’s dangerous…”

It was as expected.

He would do us a favor. When are you coming Ye-won appeared at the chicken restaurant saying that even a tiger would come if he told me.

I looked around as if looking for me and finally found me. I know that I have already heard the story from the daughter of the chicken restaurant, but SS didn’t seem to mention it.

“Hey! Kid. Long time no see.”

He shook her hand and greeted her.

“It’s been a while. Aunt Yewon.”

“Your aunt? Your mother-in-law. You should call her older sister.”

I brought a chair and sat next to me. Seeing that there were only female students around me, he looked at me with a strange smile.

“Damn it. He was a good kid.”

“This is a misunderstanding.”

“The chicken is here~. Eat a lot.”

We got to the point while eating chicken legs like that.

“Ice bombs? Ah. I have plenty of them in my arsenal as well as in the museum. But why?”

Somehow things seem to be going well. I pointed to Song Da-eun and told her about magic science.

“Magical Science…? Does that really work?”

Besides Yewon, Sohee and Harin next to each other were making quite curious faces.

“Wasn’t that science fiction? It’s often in movies.”

“As Harin said, they say it’s impossible in reality. But…”

Sohee looked at Daeun with a smile.

“I don’t laugh anymore.”

“…Thank you.”

“Kyaa. Is this friendship between high school students? I didn’t go to high school so I don’t know.”

We just met to call it friendship. Anyway, I didn’t have to say that for fear of breaking the atmosphere.

And Sohee and Daeun. It’s a combination I haven’t seen in the original, but it seemed to work surprisingly well.

“Okay! Eat all the chicken and follow me. I’ll show you the ice bomb.”
