Chapter 43: The Golden Guidance

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Introducing heirs of powerful noble families, providing rare beauty potions, or offering guys an erotic tour. Would that really motivate people?

“Hey, hey… I’m being serious here. If you think throwing around money like that would motivate anyone, nobody would ever struggle—”

““““Wait, hold on!!!””””

As I scoffed, my classmates suddenly leaned forward in a frenzy. What the hell?

“U-Um, Habiri-kun… Like, uh… Y’know?”

“Yeah?”

“Uh…”

All of them suddenly blushed, fidgeting while eyeing me cautiously. Then, Yaruimannu, who’d started this whole thing, blinked in surprise…

“Uh~ So, Habiri-kun~ I was kinda joking just now, but… Are you for real?”

“Huh?”

“I mean~ What I just said was our wild delusion… I mean, I guess if we’re as rich as you, those are just something that money can buy, huh?”

What? But, you just said…

“But you know… Like, introducing noble heirs? Upper-class nobles throw parties like that every week, even with other countries. I could just bring you guys along, right? It’s not like you’re regular commoners. You’re promising Magic Academy students, so it’d be easy to bring you along…”

““““!!??””””

“And that rare beauty potion? It’s just scarce in other countries, isn’t it? If I talk to the merchant my father sponsors, I could probably…”

““““!!??””””

“And for the guys, an erotic tour? That’s like… Basically a secret party where you wear butterfly masks to hide your identity, gather hot ladies for a banquet or games and soak in hot springs together, right? There might be legal issues, but with hush money, it’s probably doable. (Last time, some idiot nobles invited me to something like that. I didn’t go since I was satisfied with taming Sword and Magina.)”

So to be told such ordinary things were considered as rewards for them…

““““So, like, how hard do we have to work for Habiri-kun to acknowledge us!? Will you give us rewards!?””””

“W-Weh, w-what!?”

But, unbelievably, everyone leaned in with gleaming eyes. Their gazes were dead serious. Why?

“Bocchama… There are other fairly wealthy or noble kids in this Magic Academy, but someone like Bocchama, practically royalty, is on a whole other level. What’s ‘no big deal’ to you is like a dream to them.”

Sword whispered in my ear. Huh, really? This would make them work harder? Even if they pushed harder, I didn’t think they’d get strong enough in a week or two, but it was better than nothing…

“Ugh, fine! Alright, look! Nemeth beat an imperial knight in a mock battle during the entrance exam, right? Get that strong, and I’ll make your wishes come true!”

““““Oooooh!!!””””

“And, like, if we end up fighting the Demon Lord’s army, maybe taking down one enemy could count too!”

““““Wooooh!!!””””

Unbelievably enough, everyone roared in unison, brimming with fervor.

“No way?! Going to a party Habiri-kun introduces us to? What kind of nobles would be there? Maybe even dukes or royalty!?”

“I’ve always wanted that rumored beauty potion!”

“E-Erotic tour!”

“Hell yeah, I’m pumped now!”

“Yeah, we gotta get stronger! I’m fired up!”

“Me too!”

Was this okay? Really okay?

“Ugh… But, like~ Fighting the Demon Lord’s army is a rare chance, so let’s set that aside. Beating an active knight is, like, super tough, isn’t it? That’s graduation-level stuff… We’re only second-years, so it’s kinda…”

““““Ah…””””

Their excitement peaked, then deflated. Of course. Normally, with regular effort or talent, beating an imperial knight—elite warriors of this country—was basically impossible. Then…

“Ufufu, Senpai-tachi, don’t let a challenge like that discourage you. After all, me, Sword-san, and the others have to beat a Six Star Demon General to get a reward, right?”

““““Weh, that’s impossible for us!!””””

Nemeth, giggling, said this to the class, and everyone paled.  No, but even if it might seem impossible, we needed them to try. And I had to find some way to keep their motivation up… But the regular Magic Academy curriculum or self-training wouldn’t cut it…

“Ugh, then, Sword… Could you train these guys, and me too…? Or is that impossible?”

“Huh? Me?”

I half-jokingly tossed the idea to Sword, hoping for something good.

“…Hmph, if it’s an order, I’ll do the bare minimum… But as a woman, if one of them achieves the challenge and Bocchama gives me a reward beyond defeating a Six Star, I’ll train them in combat techniques not taught at the Magic Academy, forging them into elite fighters in a short time.”

“Huh… No way you can do that, right?”

“Oh? That’s harsh, Bocchama. I can do it. I’d never lie to you about practical matters.”

“Huh?”

“““““Huh…!?”””””

I was shocked, and so was everyone else.

“W-Wait, Sword… So, if there’s a reward… You can really do that?”

“Huh?! Bocchama… A reward… You’d really give me one? And Bocchama as well! I will train you- I mean, I will guide you too…”

Wait, Sword’s eyes turned deadly serious… Huh? With Sword’s training, could everyone level up in a short time? Then…

“I’ve heard your conversation.”

““““Waah!!? W-Who!?””””

“Magina!?”

“Ngh, Magina, why are you here!?”

“Magina-san!?”

Out of nowhere, without warning, Magina suddenly appeared in the classroom. How? She was supposed to be at home!

“Fufufu, after Goshujin-sama’s escape the other day, I secretly set up eavesdropping magic and a teleportation circle to come anytime… But anyway!”

Don’t just brush that off!? 

As she casually mentioned such a bombshell, Magina continued…

“I’ve heard everything, everyone. And Goshujin-sama. If there’s a reward for me too… I, Magina, will provide you all with the ultimate magic training!”

It was an unexpected training declaration.

“W-Wait, Magina, you sneaky bitch! I won’t let you steal the spotlight! Oi, you lot, follow me! I’ll make you stronger than you can imagine in a week! Behold! My Magical Bootcamp!”

And then Sword jumped in… Somehow, things were getting weird…?
