Chapter 22

22.) Lets Go For It! The ProtagonistsEvent!

It has been a week since we came back to Kurushu Magic Academy.

Rokomoko sensei told me that the headmaster wantsto meetmetonight in his office, his office is located at the topmost floor of the staffs building.

[Buhi, buhhi]

Inside that building each teacher has their own roomfortheirpersonaluse. They canleisurely read some books,researchnew magic, or they are doing some research I dont really understand.

And the headmasters room isinthe topmost of that building.

[Buhhi Bufuu]

Tonight will be a great night!

Charlotte will make dinner basedonwhat she learned from The Brown Morning inn! Uooo, I can feelthepower to run more!

[Bufu bufu]

While my heartispounding so hard for theupcomingevent with the headmaster and alsoforthe dinner made by Charlotte, I continue my daily routine.

[BuuBuu]

[Slow-sama! Lets do our best to run around the research building for another week!]

I onlyrealizedit recently, but it seems I reallysaythat buhi-buhi unconsciously whenever I talk. Even now while Im running, Deppa that runsbesides mekeeps hearingme say buhi-buhi.

It seems I got this breathing when I was a dark piggy duke, I think it went from [Fuu fuuu] to [Buhiii Buhii] at that time.

I was feeling really perplexed about it the first time I realized itWell, not really. I feel rather calm, its one of the thing that makes me,me after all. There are still a lot of things to think about rather than that!

[Slow-sama! Just a little bit more!]

Uooo, last spurt! Thisarent theheavy stepsof a pig anymore! See my true form of running now! How is it!? There is not eventhe minor disturbanceindicatingthat Iwilllose my fighting spirit for this! I will raise my speed one more gear!

[Bubububu]

[Wah! Please wait for me!]

Get out of my way you spirits!

White piggy duke-samaiscomingthrough!

[Slow-sama! You sure can run fast now! And you seems more fearless than before! Awesome!]

Fuh, fuh, fuh.

Itsonly just a week since I drank that weight reducing medicine. Even thoughthis uniformit is still the biggest size, but what Im wearing now is the mass production one.

Good bye special order uniform! Thank you eating competition! Thank you KanibasamiCorp for making that event!

Well then, I will go back to the dorm after this run while Deppa will continue his training.

[Not at all, you are more awesome compared to me. I was a failure and a pig before, I just became decent recently. But you, you train this hardevery daysince before coming here, passing the difficult test to enter this academy even though you are a commoner, and finally you can use magicnow!]

I dont know is it because I dont want to lose to him, but I have this strong burning spirit inside me.

He wantsto be better in magic, on top of that he always trainshis martial arts to the extreme, and every morning he always runsalongside me with that kind of passion. If it was just me running alone, I think I wouldhave beenreally frustrated while doing it.

[N-No way! Except for my martial arts Im not good at all, and also it was thanks to you I can use earth magic now! Icouldntuse it before no matter how

many times sensei taught me! The reason I can try this hard to learnmoreis because of Slow-sama after all! If I can write it down it will be SRSLY!]

Kurushu Magic Academy was famous for its magic, but most of the commoner studentsareonlyableto learn sword techniquesor any other knowledge, and even when they learn about magic here,its not rareto seethatthey cant use any of it even after they graduate. Those studentsyearn to use magic themselves, thats why most of the commonersin here see the nobility that can easily use magic with envy.

[Everyone is jealousofme now! Theyarealways wondering why I canusemagicnow! If youallowit,can I say that I can because you taught me?]

[Ng? Ah, no problem]

[Uwaa, thank you very much! Slow-sama!Lets keep training together!]

And after saying that, Deppa showsme a very dazzling smile.

Geez, you really are a nice guy arent you?

You are also my friend you know, lets try our best!

I silently enter the class and letthatuninteresting time passon. I cant calm myself down if I think about the event to come.

[]

And I now I look up at this huge staffs building, those who came in and out from this buildingareonly those teachersor their assistants,who arethe third yearswho hold quite a skill.

Is it because my rehab rumor is not reaching the third years? They look at me suspiciously since I came here.

While Isteelmy heart, I move my feet toward the staffs building. I ignored allthatsuspicious stuff or that suspicious explosion just now and go straight up the stairsuntil I finallyarrive atthe top most floor of this building.

It was my first time to talk directly with the headmaster of this Kurushu Magic Academy.

With the dim light lighting the entire corridor I walk through it and stopped in front of that majestic looking door while taking a breath.

I straighten my back and lift my face. I am no longer the old me. I am no longer that gloomydarkpiggy duke, Iamalready a white piggy duke now.

I knock that door lightly.

I wait for a bit while sharpening my hearing, I wont let even the tiniest sound escape me now.

[Who is it?]

I can hear a small voice from inside. It was a strict voice but still soundsgentle.

[It is me Dening, headmaster]

[Which Dening?]

[Slow Dening]

[Good answer. Enter now Slow Dening, the wind child of wonder. I have been waiting for you]

Without hesitation I open the door in front of me.

From inside the room, the blinding light fillsthe corridor with warm lightwho also erased the gloom of thecorridor all at once.
