The next day, classes at the magic academy were to begin.
　But.........

''It's boring.''

　I can't help but miss it.

　The classroom lessons were too low level.
　And the teacher's teaching style is not very good.
　For example.

''First of all ... let's memorize the chanting grammar of the ice ball.''

　And so on.
　After all, in this world, chanting magic is the standard, so it's such an inefficient class.
　Everyone is staring at the blackboard with bloodshot eyes and taking notes intently.

''No........sleepy.......''

　I'm in the very back seat by the window, so the sun's rays are warm and crisp.
　I couldn't hold back my sleepiness and before I knew it, I was asleep.

　◆ ◆

　And the last class before lunch.
　All of the "First" classes were gathered in the school grounds, and the "Practical" class was held.

''Oh...!　Finally an interesting class.
Kurt. You're really into this.

　Lara spoke to me.

　No wonder.
　Magic research.........I don't dislike it, but it still suits my s*x better if I'm moving my body and defeating a demon god or something.

''What kind of class is this?''

　Mindlessly, Marise's voice sounded a bit upbeat, too.
　A short while later, an unexpected figure appeared in the schoolyard and everyone rolled their eyes.


'Gahaha!　Do you guys do any strength training?


Mr. Desmond?

　To my surprise, the one who showed up in the schoolyard was the old man I fought in the entrance exam - Desmond, a former S-ranked adventurer or so he said.

''Why are you here?''

　Maryse takes a step forward and asks Desmond a question.

I've been assigned to this school as a teacher this year. I'm mainly in charge of the practical skills class. I'm going to be nice. Don't worry!　Gahahaha!

　Desmond put his hands on his hips and laughed vigorously.

　I see.........
　As I recall, the entrance exam, Desmond's companion said something like "Today is supposed to be just a visit" or something like that.
　I wondered why they came to the magic academy, but.......I didn't know it was like this.


''De, Desmond-san's class.......I didn't expect to be taught by a legendary adventurer!
'Idiot!　You know the guy who was also known as the demon Desmond?　
But Mr. Desmond... or rather, Mr. Desmond can't do magic?


　I could hear the expectant, anxious words from those around me.

'This should be fun,'

　In the midst of all this, I mutter honestly.

　In this world, I'm the guy who was able to cope with my physical enhancement magic.
　My heart leaps at the lessons that are going to be interesting.

I'm sure you're right. It's true that I can't use magic.

　And Desmond's eyes sharpened.

'But wizards shouldn't be using magic all the time either, you know?　You have to have physical strength. Therefore, my class will be for basic physical fitness and bodywork!

　Hmm.
　I feel the same way.

　No matter how much of a wizard you are, you have to move around on the battlefield.
　I have enough magic and energy but "I'm too tired to move" is useless.

　When I was nodding in admiration


Why does a wizard need physical strength?
''I'm just casting magic in the rearguard, so I shouldn't need my strength...''


　And the people around me were missing the point.
　But.

'Hmm, looking at Kurt, is that not wrong too?'
'I agree with Lara. Because watching Kurt fight, it seems to me that he's very weak as a wizard just standing back and waiting.

　Lara and Marise were understanding.
　Since I'm teaching them magic, they must have learned to think naturally.

''Okay let's work on our endurance first. Fifty laps around the school grounds!''
Fifty rounds?　That's absurd!

　A scream goes up from around me.

'Yuck!　By the way, during this class there will be a punishment for those that fail to run 50 laps within the hour. You guys are going to have to brace yourselves.
What's the penalty for...?
Lunchtime. It's a fun punishment game where you just run to your next class.
Oh, an ogre!

　50 laps.
　Just the thing to warm you up.

So let's begin.



　I'll just say the results.
　There was only one person who could complete 50 laps in class time.

　I'm talking about me, of course.

"Hey, this is a tough one...
'Why is Kurt the only one... haha, haha... looking unconcerned?

　Lara and Marise are on their butts on the ground, gasping for breath.
　No wonder.

''If you get tired of this stuff, you won't even be able to conquer the hundred levels of the labyrinth in a day, will you?
That's just your common sense...................ha, ha, ha.

　Out of breath, Marise tsked.

　By the way, I don't use physical strengthening in a marathon.
　If I did that, I could achieve 50 laps in an instant, but it's because of the main purpose of training my physical strength.


You remember me?
Of course.

　Desmond looked surprised.

'Honestly I didn't think there was anyone who could complete 50 laps in the first class. You.........are you also a monster with physical strength?
Hi.

　Even before he came to the Magic Academy, he had incorporated marathons into his daily training routine.
　Even with this, he still hasn't reached the heyday of a thousand years ago.

''And one thing ... can I ask you something?''
Yeah, what is it?
Now that you're done with your prep work, what are you going to do?


　Khan--Kahn--.


　When I asked a question, I heard the bell ringing to signal the end of the class.

It's a shame. I guess class is over.
...even I'm shuddering at the thought of you doing all this and claiming it's a warm-up exercise.

　It looks like the practical skills class will be tomorrow, so we'll see what happens next time.
