Chapter 13: The Destination of the Test Units

Noticing the shadow that had suddenly cut off his sunlight, Ernie looked up out of the window. A cloud was encroaching on his view of the clear blue sky, its white gradually gradating into gray. Ernie turned to the notebook he had on hand as he tried to work out both his physical and mental knots, which had built up from exhaustion. Then he looked back at the endlessly wide sky, which was occupied by a dark, thick cloud. The cloud, which was like gauze covering what was beyond, didn’t seem like it would need much time to grow even darker. That was what Ernie absentmindedly thought as he looked out at it.

“I can’t say I approve of you clearly not paying attention to the class like that, Ernesti.”

A voice called out to Ernie, bringing him back to reality as he sunk into the vast recesses of his mind, probably because he’d lost interest in the lesson. Ernie immediately apologized to the somewhat stiff-faced teacher before turning back to the blackboard. The teacher then resumed the lesson, jotting down words with chalk as he lectured on Fremmevilla’s history. The surrounding students shot Ernie a look as if they’d just seen something unusual, but they quickly returned their attention to the lesson.

Oh shoot, that was close. I shouldn’t relax just because I’m tired. Let’s get back to the class... Ernie chided himself before looking down at his notes. Sadly, while the other students were taking the class seriously, Ernie’s notebook was filled with notes on things other than what was going on in the classroom—specifically, there was a strangely shaped silhouette knight drawn on the page along with many lines of description on it.

With the Tellestarle done, I’ve finally solidified my base. Now, in order to add to that and totally blow the king away, I need one more surprise at the very least...for now I’ll just keep making plans.

Ernie was thinking of things clearly unrelated to the class he was taking, but since he periodically looked at the blackboard and was writing things in his notebook, no one suspected a thing. In the first place, no normal twelve-year-old would be able to put up such a convincing act, so in a bad sense this was a product of his unusually abundant experience. No one was suspicious of his conduct in class, and so the lesson proceeded without incident. Well, actually, there were people who could have figured out what was going on.

Hmm...the wire anchor was fun. I should try it next time too. He said operating it was a pain, but well, it’ll probably work out.

Oh I know! I should take Ernie out to eat today! Training too much will just have the opposite effect, after all.

However, both of them were also not paying attention to class, so it didn’t become a problem. As an aside, all three of them put out decent grades even outside of magic and martial arts lessons.

The ground gradually got darker as it was shaded by clouds.
