Chapter 35 – 34. Aren’t You a Complete Idiot?
-The period during which negative emotions are amplified isOne month, If you can last that long, you might win.
Yeah. One month goes by quickly, right.? If Aris holds up well… The remaining period is…
“Huh.!”
“Arthur!! Are you okay?”
I feel like I had a strange dream. Is it because of my mood? I think it was important…
“How is it? Do you think sleep therapy is effective?”
Oh… That’s right, you were currently undergoing sleep therapy, right? Did you say that something called a magic tool can stimulate the brain and bring back forgotten memories?
“… I don’t know, I think something comes to mind…”
“Really? Then why don’t you come and get it every day? “You might suddenly remember everything.”
If I really do this, will I be able to regain my memories? They keep not telling me the test results, and they keep telling me to do these things…
“No. I just don’t want to do it. It’s kind of unpleasant and uncomfortable.”
“Ah. I can’t help it. Then let’s find another way.”
Sorry, Arthur. Still, just in case… I want to try everything I can.
In fact, I didn’t tell Arthur, but the test results Aris heard from the doctor were not good. This is because the doctor said that Arthur’s brain waves responded as if he was hearing something related to magic for the ‘first time’.
-This is the first time something like this has happened… It’s almost like I can believe it, even if someone erased my memories… And I don’t think the memories will come back just because time passes…
Aris fell into despair after hearing the doctor’s opinion that she did not want to believe.
It’s safe to say that Arthur has studied magic all his life, but he’s forgotten everything about magic… At the moment, he doesn’t seem to be too stressed because he can’t even remember what he forgot… But if he finds out later, he’ll be able to handle it. Can I?
Probably can’t do it.
“We had a hard time today, so let’s stop and go to the library together. “You have to study in advance to be able to take classes.”
“I don’t want to go.”
Originally, she would have lived in the library, but perhaps because she lost her memory, she showed no interest in reading books.
“Still, you can’t get a lesson. Then, how about we read just one book today?”
“… “
Arthur resisted, showing her dislike, but Aris had no choice but to drag her to the library for the sake of Arthur’s future.
…
Time passed quickly, and the academy began to return to normal.
Huh… I’m nervous, I can do well, right?
Okay! I read a lot of books… Of course, I’m not sure about the content, but I memorized it… It’ll be okay!
“Arthur? Did you come early today? But why are you sitting so far back? “Let’s sit in the front with me.”
The owner of the voice heard was Fabian.
“I understand.”
Fabian is next to me, so if you come up with something you don’t know, let’s ask! And just in case, the class might be easier than you think?
Arthur’s tension began to rise, overcome by an unknown confidence.
But Arthur had completely forgotten. This was a classroom filled with the top 300 students on the continent, and there was no way he would be able to follow the class just because he had memorized a few books.
After a while, Professor Serena came in and started teaching, and Arthur’s expression got worse as the class progressed due to the difficulty level being much more difficult than expected.
I don’t understand any of the class content. What should I do?
But Arthur’s misfortune did not end there. This is because, 30 minutes before the end of class, Professor Serena had all students take a written test.
“I was unable to properly evaluate the last assignment due to demons, so I will replace the last assignment with this paper test.”
“… “
Of course, Arthur thought she could solve one or two problems, but unfortunately, her academy level was not that low.
Transform the magic circle to reduce mana consumption…? How do you do that? Explain logically why ice magic and water magic are structurally similar… I’ve never seen anything like this in the books I’ve read…
Arthur looked at the problems carefully to solve at least one problem, but unfortunately, there was not a single problem that she could solve.
Let’s write down everything we know little by little! You might even be able to get partial credit.!
Arthur started scribbling down something diligently, and when she heard the bell signaling the end of her class, she went out with the answer sheet and submitted it. In the process, Professor Serena’s expression looked strange when she saw Arthur’s answer sheet, but Arthur thought it was her fault and returned to his seat.
“Arthur, did you do well on the memo test? Is it because of the demon incident? Only basic issues came up this time?”
“Huh.? It was a basic problem, right? Ha. Ha.”
“Yeah, I guess the professor just told me to give you a grade. It seems like if you get even one thing wrong, your grade will go down a lot.”
As Fabian continued, Arthur’s mood gradually plummeted.
I couldn’t solve a single problem… And it’s embarrassing to tell the truth…
“I guess morning classes are over now. Would you like to have lunch together?”
“… I’m sorry, I decided to eat with my girlfriend.”
“Ah. That’s right, I’m kind of envious of you. You’re dating comfortably.”
Since Fabian was a duke, free love seemed difficult. I think she probably has a fiancé.
“Don’t you have a fiancé? “If you eat with that person…”
“We don’t really get along, so let’s not talk about this.”
“Yes! See you in the afternoon then.”
Arthur, who felt Fabian’s voice becoming increasingly sharp, quickly said hello and headed to the restaurant to have lunch.
…
“Arthur, here! Here!!”
As she received the food and looked around, she heard Aris’ voice calling to her near her.
“Mum mutter. So how was today’s class?”
Aris, who expected that Arthur’s condition would make it difficult for her to adjust, immediately asked how her class was.
“It’s just. It was worth listening to. But it was harder than I thought.”
Actually, I didn’t understand a single thing, Aris. I guess I’m a fool…
“Still, I’m glad. The magic department classes are famous for being difficult, right? “You’re a genius, so you’ll be able to catch up quickly.”
Aris wanted to boost Arthur’s self-esteem, so she continued to praise him, but instead, Arthur’s self-esteem began to decline.
ㅡTap!
“I’ve eaten everything, so I’ll go first.”
“Arthur.?”
Arthur, who was offended by her, left the cafeteria, leaving Aris behind, and she went to attend her class in the afternoon.
Now that I think about it… I don’t even remember what magic I’m using… I’ll have to go see Professor Adele first.
Arthur, who decided that she would not be able to receive a proper class, went to Adele’s professor’s office to ask for the professor’s understanding.
ㅡKnock.
“Please come in.”
ㅡRattle.
“Hello.”
“Uh? Are you Arthur? Why did you come here? There’s still a little bit left before class starts.”
“Well. I don’t think I’ll be able to take class because I lost my memory of magic.”
Arthur handed a piece of paper to Adele with her words, and Adele, who received the paper, began to read the contents slowly.
“Hmm. I see. Furthermore, I’m embarrassed because it’s my first time experiencing something like this. “You really don’t remember a thing?”
“Yes.”
“So… Can you tell me what kind of magic I usually use?”
“.? I guess I really don’t remember. Arthur, you have too little mana to use magic. So you used a sword, remember that?”
I have a sword…? I don’t remember ever using it… Could there be some mistake?
“I used a sword.? “I am not from the Department of Knights, but from the Department of Magic… And I have never used a sword in my life.”
“Huh? What are you talking about? You have incredible swordsmanship skills that amaze even me.”
“Me?”
“… “
As they could not communicate with each other, silence fell for a moment in the professor’s office, and Adele was the first to speak again.
“Arthur, I think you’ve lost not only your magic but also your memory of the sword.”
“Then did I originally use the sword?”
At Arthur’s question, Adele nodded her head.
“Hmm. The paper says that he was found unconscious in the library. At that time, a demon invaded the direction of the library. Do you have any memories of being captured by a demon or something like that?”
Demons.? That day, I was at the library…
“… Sorry. I don’t remember anything that happened back then… And if I had met a demon, wouldn’t I have died? “Seeing as his body is fine, I think he probably hasn’t met.”
“Hmm. Is that so.? It’s strange… Something is so artificial, it keeps bothering me.”
“Well, I understand for now. Then, I will process your attendance for a while, so come when you have calmed down to a certain extent.”
“Yes! Thank you.”
After thanking Adele and leaving her professor’s office, Arthur headed to her own dorm room, his thoughts not stopping as he went.
I guess she knew I could use a sword… Aris didn’t seem to know this either… But if she said that she didn’t even remember using a sword, I think it would only make her more worried…
Phew… Now that I think about it, what can I do? I used to know magic well, and if you listen to Professor Adele, it seems like you were good at using a sword… But now I don’t remember anything about magic, and I don’t even know how to swing a sword…?
“Huh. Ugh…”
In the end, Arthur burst into tears when she realized that she had become completely incapable.
Just this time… Let’s cry… And tomorrow we’ll start again from the beginning… Since Aris is by our side, we can do it…!
Arthur’s tears were only able to stop once he arrived at his dormitory room. It was early, before dinnertime, but Arthur fell asleep early and did not wake up until the next morning.
…
Meanwhile, during Adele’s class, some students expressed doubts about Arthur not being seen, and Adele thoughtlessly told them about Arthur’s condition.
“Arthur has lost her memory and can’t properly attend her classes, so you guys need to take care of him on a regular basis?”
Of course, Adele was speaking purely out of hope that other students would help Arthur, but what she didn’t know was that there were more students who were jealous of Arthur than she thought, and because of this, she had no idea what Arthur would go through. I didn’t know
-Is it real.? She lost her memory. Does that make sense?
-That’s right. I usually didn’t like her, but it would be fun if it were real?
-Aren’t you a total idiot if you can’t even attend class?
“Arthur…”
Fabian also couldn’t help but feel a little betrayed when he remembered Arthur not telling him anything even though they had taken class together in the morning.
