Book 2: Chapter 4: Part 1
This is the chapter today, enjoy~
Part 1
Im too excited
The next day. I was reflecting on it a bit as I headed to school. Yesterday, I continued to use magic for as long as I could, until I ran out of time and imagination, but in the end, I had caused a phenomenon called magic depletion.
From what I read in sage-sans book, I heard that magic depletion could be recovered over time, but its not a very complimentary thing. Thats because when I run out of magic, my body becomes sluggish all at once. Its already so uncommon. Im so physically lazy that its almost impossible to stand up, and its horrible. If this happened in the middle of a battle, I would be killed in an instant.
There was something else that bothered me as well. It was a word written at the end of the book
Now, since what Ive told you up to this point is the result of my research, you should not think that this is widespread, and think carefully about where to use the knowledge youve gained.
Apparently, this magic theory is sage-sans original one. From the feeling I get from reading this sentence, the content of the book left by sage-san must be uncommon. I was by no means, thinking that, but its heresy! It would be troublesome if I told this to an otherworlder, so lets be careful.
So far, there were more dangerous things or that I had to be careful about, but it wasnt all bad. It turns out that one of the effects of the rare drop item, the Portable Open-air Bath Set, is that it can also produce a hot spring that has the effect of restoring magic power!
Yaaah, that drop item is a great hit! I cant do anything without it now! And the toothbrush is just as effective, its amazing how fresh my mouth is, and its transformed into really clean white teeth. And it felt super lovely to brush with it.
I was thinking about that as I headed to school, and before I realized it, I had arrived at school. It seems that Kaori and Kaede had just arrived at school as well, and when they saw me, they smiled and greeted me.
Ah, Yuuya-kun! Good morning!
Good morning, Yuuya-san.
Good morning, you two.
When I returned the greeting as well, I suddenly realized something. Kaori and Kaede look strangely happy. Is something wrong?
You look like youre having fun. Whats going on?
Eh? They were surprised and looked at each other at my words.
Now, as stated in the annual event schedule, we have a field trip next week Are you all done with the preparations?
Huh?
Yes! On the contrary, everyone answered in unison.
After the morning exchange, the homeroom teacher, Sawada-sensei, said that in the H.R. session.

Field trip? What? Ive never heard of this.
Thats good. Youll be in a position to be called an elite in the future. In fact, all the graduates of this Ousei Gakuen are active in various industries. We want you to experience the harshness of nature so that you will be able to survive the rough seas of society. Were trying to get you to develop the mental capacity to endure any kind of hardship.
When I was confused by the sudden words, Yukine, who was sitting next to me, told me.
Well, the teacher says that, but the point is that were just going to camp to get used to a new environment. Well, its going to be a valuable experience and will help us grow. Its just a night and two days, and Im sure theyll give you a sheet of paper with a list of things youll need to prepare, so you can use that as a guide. I think.
I see
Come to think of it, I got textbooks and stuff like that, but I didnt get a yearly schedule of events. To be honest, Im not bothered by it, or how should I say it, until now, I hated school so much that I didnt really care about the events. But Oh, I see. Kaori and the others knew that this explanation was going to be given today, so they seemed to be enjoying themselves oddly.
As I thought back to the two of them in the morning, Sawada-sensei said:
However, we cant start preparing or anything else without deciding on a group. Thats why sensei will decide it appropriately.
Eeh~
When Sawada-sensei said this, many students voiced their dissatisfaction.
Sensei! Why dont you just let us manage the group ourselves?
Thats right!
Thats a tyranny!
Yes, yes, be quiet. Stop criticizing me at once. Do you want me to give you more homework?
Everyone was silenced as sensei used homework as a way to make a deal. Looking at these students, the teacher lets out a sigh.
As I said before, although the content is a camp, its still an outdoor learning experience. The purpose of this is to deepen the friendships among the students. But if you just make a group with your friends, it wont help you build new relationships. This is the time to widen your circle of friends. Do you all understand?
Yes.
In other words, the division of students into groups by the teacher this time is a clear intention on the school side. I have yet to speak to any of the students except Ryo and Shingo-kun, so Im grateful for this event. But Im also troubled by this.
What should I do with Night during this field trip? The best thing is to use magic to get back and forth to my house but as of yesterday, I still couldnt use any magic like instant travel or anything like that; its hard to visualize it. So what should I do?
I was holding my head because the problem of not being able to use movement-type magic came up in unexpected situations. Then Sawada-sensei wrote the result of the group division on the blackboard.
This is the division of the groups this time. The number assigned to each of you is your group number, and now, you will be moving to your groups accordingly. Okay, start moving.
I looked at the blackboard, and I was in group 5. I move to the position where the members of that group are sticking together. And there were two familiar faces there.
Ah, Kaede.
Yuuya-kun! Were in the same group. Please treat me well!
Thats right; Im in the same group as Kaede. And the other familiar face is
Hey, Yuuya-kun! Were in the same group!
Uhm, Akira-kun. Best regards.
It feels so distant to call me with an honorific! You can call me Akira! Or maybe young noble.
Youre too long! Get out of my way!
Thats cruel!
Im also in the same group with Akira, the one who made a mistake at the time when playing soccer. However, the one who pushed Akira away and came over was a girl I had never been involved with before. A tall, slender, beautiful girl with long black hair, shes tall for a girl. Her face also seems to show her strength of character somehow.
Im Rin Kanzaki. I dont mind if you call me by my name too. Please treat me well from now on, Yuuya.
Yes, likewise, Rin.
I didnt really like getting involved with new people before, but now I like it because its exciting. Thats why I smiled spontaneously, but Rin looked at my face intently and nodded.
I see there are just so many rumors going around.
Eh?
No, Im talking about that. If that idiot over there keeps his mouth shut, I can understand if hes called [Young Noble].
Eh, really? Id love it if you call me that! said Akira.
Although at this rate, I doubt youll get that chance forever.
Why!
Im already having fun with this group. When I thought about that, Kaede called out to me.
For now, it seems that were a group of four, so it seems well be working with these members this time. Im looking forward to it.
Me too. I dont get many chances to do this.
I couldnt even go on a school trip in junior high school because I didnt have any money. No, even if I had, whether I would have enjoyed it or not is another matter.
Sawada-sensei opened her mouth as each group finished confirming its members.
Alright, I think were done with the group confirmation. Ill give you a brief overview of the event, and then Ill hand out a sheet of paper that summarizes what youll need for the day.
In response to her voice, the students turned their attention to the teacher.
First of all, the destination. Theres a vast land owned by this school, and its surrounded by nature, so dont think theres a convenience store or anything convenient like that! And as for the activities, well thats for you to look forward to when you get there. Well, good luck with that!
I thought she said she was going to give us an overview, but shes keeping the important part secret?I wonder what kind of things were going to do Yukine said it was camping Or rather, I was lightly drifting off, but what is this vast land owned by the school? That such a thing exists? This school is more and more out of the norm.
It seems that the teachers explanation is really only that much, and this time around, a paper was handed out with things to bring or something written on it.
Lets see
Its obvious, isnt it? If its not the person themselves, whos going to go?
Dont suddenly return to normal. I cant keep up with my emotions. And suddenly, its something I dont have. I mean, I couldnt even afford to travel before, so I dont have a backpack or any such travel bag in my house.
My grandpa loved to travel, so maybe he has a bag if I search carefully, but huh? Come to think of it; I dont think Ive ever seen my grandpa on a trip with a bag? Its a mystery.
Well, now that I have a bit of money to spare, Ill buy it. I dont really need it because I have an item box, but it would be an uproar if I used it in this world. And when I read on, I found out that I just need something like a change of clothes and a P.E. uniform. Theres nothing that I especially need to buy, except for the bag. It was a bit of a relief. But Kaede and the others seemed to be different.
Hey, hey, what do you want to bring?
As expected, we need to bring playing cards or something like that, right?
Youre right. What about you, Akira-kun?
If you guys are in charge of the games, I think Ill bring the snacks!
Eh? Eh? Cards? Snacks? Can you bring something like that?
I was surprised and asked that involuntarily, but Kaede and the others are also surprised and looked at me.
Yeah? We need some things to play with since were camping.
Thats right. I mean, that kind of thing is also allowed in middle school, isnt it?
What is it, Yuuya? Are you a beginner at camping? In that case, this [Young Noble of The Camp] will
You shut up.
Why dont you let me talk?
It seems my perception is wrong. No, I thought it was a school event and games were not allowed but is that what camping is all about?
The difference in perceptions troubled me again, but in the end, since I didnt seem to have any particular items to prepare, I just referred to the paper that was handed out to prepare what I needed to bring for myself.
