Until I, A Fallen Nobleman, Was Called the Great Sage With My Hazure Skill “Super Jack-of-All-Trades

“I’m glad she was fooled. I want to be quiet at least until I get into the academy.”

I was relieved and headed to the academy to pick up my brother.

The Oblivion Academy that my brother goes to is a famous academy, and since some of the students come from far away, it is a great academy with a fully equipped dormitory.

Basically, the wealthy class called nobles go to the [Illuminate] academy, which is the royal capital of this country, but there is a very strict screening process, so admission itself is difficult. That’s why many parents bring their children here. There is other academy in other towns, though, so there won’t be any punctures, it seems.

“Oh, brother!”

“Lars, you’re here?”

And if you look closely, there’s someone standing beside him.

“Hello.”

“You’re here too, Nord?”

“Yeah, I only see him on my way home.”

It was Nord. Unlike at the entrance ceremony, she was wearing her usual overstuffed clothes, scratching her head and laughing, while my brother walked out holding her hand. Her bangs were cut so I could see her face clearly. I wonder if her mother was a beauty, while I felt jealous behind.

Well, no matter how many times I regret it, I can’t help but call out to my brother.　

“How was your day?”

“The same as usual. Lars is stronger in swordsmanship than my classmates, and magic is no more difficult than what Verna-sensei taught us. But it’s fun to learn new things.”

“You like books, don’t you, brother?”

“Yeah.”

“I want to get a good job so I can make life easier for Dad and Mom. I’ve been eating a lot more food lately, so maybe they’re selling more vegetables.”

Hmmm, so that’s what my brother was thinking too. He may not show it, but brother is properly watching them, huh. That’s why he noticed the thing about Nord …… Wait, no, no, I’m going to have that thought again.

When I was shaking my head, my brother opened his mouth as if he remembered.

“Oh, by the way, I have to go home early, they’re coming for a home visit today.”

“Home visit?”

Nord tilted her head and asked my brother.

“Yes. A teacher is coming to our house. There’s always one homeroom teacher in each class. The teacher will ask my parents about me at home.”

“Hmmm. I don’t think I’ll be going to the academy, but I don’t have a father or mother anymore, so I’m sure the teacher will be troubled.”

I remember the words of Nord, who came alone when she was given the skill, “My father was a loser”. I don’t think she has any good memories of her parents. And that makes me a little sad, because my parents love me. 

As we walked through the town, we came to a hill that led to the house, and I thought we were going to have to say goodbye, but Nord said she would follow us.

“I hadn’t played in a long time. But if the teacher is coming, maybe I should play with Lars-kun?”

“Yes. It won’t take long. You can play in the garden.”

“Okay.”

While my brother was changing clothes, the homeroom teacher arrived. My Dad and Mom didn’t seem to know if it was an unannounced visit or not, so they hurried to greet him.

The teacher was a man, about twenty-five years old, with a sharp look in his eyes. To be honest, it would have been more appropriate to say that he was an adventurer who slaughtered demons, but the suit didn’t suit him, and Nord was a little frightened.

It would be troubling if he’s violent, but will it be okay?

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

“Well, I didn’t expect the teacher to come himself. ……”

“If you had told me, I would have been prepared.”

“I heard about it today, too.”

As my parents opened their mouths in front of the teacher in the living room, Dedite’s homeroom teacher bowed lightly and said apologetically.

“Thank you for taking the time to visit us on such short notice! I’m …… My name is “Tigre” and I’m in charge of Dedite-kun’s class. This home visit is not done by the school, but by …… my own decision, and I am visiting children who live at home.”

“Well, why is that ……?”

“Because I want to see how the family is doing. Often, there are parents who just send their children to school and leave them there, or there are families with no money. Adults are essential to a child’s education. I am doing this on my own because I want to know what kind of environment the children are growing up in. Oh, I have the permission of the director of the school!”

When Tigre drank the tea and looked at our parents, Marianne was taken aback for a moment.

“I, I see …… I see you care about your children.”

“Of course I do. I’ve been put in charge of your precious children, after all. Nevertheless, Dedite-kun’s a very talented young man, isn’t he?”

From that point on, Dedite was strong, but he didn’t show it off. My parents were delighted that he was considerate of others, and that he listened attentively to his studies.

Eventually, Tigre stood up saying that he needs to go to the next one, and my parents and Nina led him to the door.

“It’s amazing that you do these things for the children even after work.”

“It’s an honor to hear you say that, well then …… Hm? …… What!?”

As he bowed his head to leave, Tigre was surprised to see Lars and Nord playing in the garden.

“Hah!”

“Hup!”

Cla-Cla-Clang! Byu! Booo!

“Nice try, Nord. Not many girls can do that!”

“But it can’t hit you, Lars-kun.”

Lars and Nord were fighting with wooden swords in their hands. He’s amazed at the sharpness of the child’s mind, and at the same time, his eyes wide open to the fact that he sometimes mixes magic.

…… Roen is a former lord and not a fighter. Of course, neither is Marianne. That’s why she has no idea how strong the adventurers are, and doesn’t know that Lars and Dedite are “too strong for children”. But unlike Dedite, Lars is not only not the same age as Dedite, he is also strong at the adult level.

“Er, how old is he now……? Is that his brother? Is the girl his sibling?”

“The boy is Dedite’s younger brother, Lars, who will be nine this year. He will be entering the academy next year, so please take care of him if you see him. The girl is Dedite’s girlfriend.”

“I feel safe with someone like teacher, and please take care of Dedite in the future.”

“Oh, yes!”

As Tigre descended the hill after saying that, he couldn’t contain his excitement at the sight he had just seen.

“(That’s nine years old? The swing of the sword was steady and bold. It’s as accurate as a skilled swordsman. And what about the magic, except for Dedite, the rest of the kids are too busy concentrating on shooting. It’s impossible to shoot while swinging a sword. The girl he’s with is also of a very high level for someone her age …… I see, that explains why Dedite-kun’s so strong. I’ve amazed by Dedite-kun alone, though …… Next year …… Kuku, it’ll be interesting. Lars-kun, is it, I’ll have to raise my hand to be his homeroom teacher ……!)”

Thus, Lars was noticed by many people without his knowledge.

After that, Lars continued to spend his days doing odd jobs at the guild, earning money, and training with Verna in magic.

At the guild, he felt strange that Mizuki and the other adventurers looked at him strangely warmly, but since there was no change in his life, Lars decided not to worry about it.

Incidentally, he and Hauzen, the guild master, frequently crossed paths, and a year passed without seeing each other at all.

And now Lars is ten years old.

Now it’s time for the Academy!

I wonder what is Lars going to do? Please enjoy!

Thank you for reading!

“Really, the number of strange people is increasing ……”

Don’t say strange person!?

“I wonder what kind of person teacher is?”

Do you mean Verna? Or Tigre?

“Both.”
