"Jane, you are my happiness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Ah...... Really, that's great. ”

The courageous confession received an expected response, but it was not an answer. Such an outcome is not a certainty, and certainly not a negative.

"Is this what I want to protect?"

He couldn't help but ask himself, and—

"That's right. ”

A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it was rare that he did not slump lazily on the table as usual, but Stardiri, who was sitting precariously, stared at the girl not far away, and couldn't help but be a little stupid.

That's right, the girl's quiet and gentle smile, and the calm, peaceful and stable life without waves, passion, and breakthroughs represented by this precious smile are what he really wants.

Once, when he was young, he once regarded "getting ahead" as the biggest and only goal in his life to pursue, and he could do whatever it took to do so. But the result was tragic, in the face of even more powerful forces, the boy who had slaughtered countless lives before slowly climbing up from ordinary soldiers finally lost everything and became nothing.

I almost lost my life, which was the carrier of all this.

After this tragic loss, the heart of the man named Stardiri died. Devoid of pursuits, deprived of faith, and with nothing but his life and unforgivable power, Stardiri easily accepted the "invitation" of the culprit who had brought him to where he was now, and in rags, he trekked half of Southover to the School of Magic in the Republic of Gloriland, the land he had once dreamed of conquering.

By the way, this was not his original destination, the man had hoped that he would go to the capital of the Northwater Empire, the "Sunset City", but he had deflected this goal ninety degrees to another land that was equally unfamiliar to him.

It's a miracle that Stardiri was able to reach the School of Magic, and the "initiator" behind it is also very relieved, maybe he didn't really want this person to be "accidental" by himself from the beginning What value can the implicated young soldier create for him in the vast grasslands of Northwater, so, after learning about Stardiri's coming to the vicinity of the Magic Academy with the help of one of the best intelligence networks on the continent, the man didn't make much effort to create a new identity for him that would not be suspected, and helped him enter the Academy and arranged a mission called "undercover" for him.

He hoped that Stardiri would be able to confirm with his own eyes what was happening in the School of Magic, and pass it on to him as information.

The fact is that that person already has more than a dozen "Hidden Stakes" in the Magic Academy, and any of these people have better intelligence gathering skills than Stardiri, who has just stepped into the Magic Academy empty-handed.

Then, as it turned out, the day after he learned about his new assignment, Stardiri had completely forgotten about it.

"Hmm...... Would you like some tea, some food?"

"Not necessarily. As always, I'm just sitting here, just looking at you. ”

The voice of the girl named "Jane" echoing in his ears brought Stardiri back to reality a little bit from the not-so-lengthy memories of the past, and looking at the unpretentious country girl's smiling cheeks and seductive dimples, he couldn't help but want to continue to immerse himself in the good memories "after".

This is one of the 12 training areas of the Magic Academy"Village Area",As an experience area,The biggest difference between this and the remaining 11 areas is that there are nameless villages scattered here as literally described.,That is, there are settlements where humans inhabit and survive.。

It is worth noting that these village settlements actually existed long before the establishment of the School of Magic and the completion of the Great Barrier of the School Capital, and "Mr. Headmaster" "generously" included these villages in the protection of the Great Barrier. Although there are monsters in the "village area", these monsters do not actively attack humans like other low-level areas, and there is no powerful and violent "lord", so, objectively speaking, these villages are indeed far away from thieves and wars under the protection of the magic school, and the livelihood of the villagers is also guaranteed and improved by selling vegetables and other crops directly to the school.

Simplicity is the inhabitants of these villages. In her innocent opinion, those students who have talent, or can wield swords, or can drive lightning and lightning, are not only not unattainable big people, but also close to the existence of family, so whenever there are tired students in the village area, it is too late to rush back to the school area and must stay here, Jane will warmly invite them to spend the night in their rooms.

Her parents came late to have daughters, and both died when Jane was fourteen years old, so she was the only one living in the "simple" but "simple" house like her name, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little lonely.

And for an ordinary girl who is too small compared to the strength of the cadet, it is really not a wise and safe decision to invite strangers into her room. So, one day, what should have happened happened, and whether it should be said misfortune or luck, that day Stardiri happened to come to the village area.

What kind of idea was that? Maybe he didn't think about anything. But he knew it was definitely a life-changing decision.

That night, Stardiri, who is also a stranger, hears the commotion and drives away the misbehaving who wants to force Jane to do something "good", and befriends Jane in the process.

To be precise, it was because of this that I saw the whole of the girl.

But that wasn't the reason why Stardiri began to stay more and more in the village, and sometimes he wondered what it was about the girl that he had been touched by and changed, but the answer he came up with was never satisfactory to him.

In the end, it was the same person who solved his doubts, the "weird guy" who made him lose everything and said that he would give him a "new life", and he did so.

"In the past, you only knew how to destroy and plunder, and everything you had when you grew up in that environment was too fragile, which is why they were so easily taken by me. Darkly, there is a deep emotion in your heart that wants to change all this, and the fact that you saved the girl that night is the so-called 'opportunity' - that you learn to protect and experience what it is like to be there. Yes, it doesn't matter if it's a whim. ”

"Your words are so hard to understand. ”

At that time, Stardiri responded to the big merchant named "Leon Shutain" with these six simple words.
