Back Home

It's been about 5 days since the end of the 5th Tournament and it was the 10th of July.

I was intending to go back to my hometown but sadly my Acceptance Letter to leave the academy hasn't been approved yet.

i'd sent it about 4 days ago, but i guess it's Understandable. At this time of the year everyone decided to go home and visit their parents.

So, my letter must be stashed in the many letters that the academy got from the students.

Since 5 tournaments have concluded and 7500 Individuals have been expelled from the academy, that leaves about 67500 Left.

In that I'm ranked 28221. That's my current rank as per the badge that's on my collar.

It's quite fortunate that I'm officially in the better half of the Student body.

There are 67 thousand students in the academy and I am ranked above 30 thousand that means that I'm at the better half of the body.

Which makes me quite the elite in the eyes of the people below the 30000 mark.

Before the Start of tournament 5 I was ranked about around 35000.

It's nice that with the added respect I also get a real bonus when it comes to Money.

Now that I have stored enough money, I think we can get out of that village and get into a better neighbourhood.

I intend to go back to my village and send my new family members into a better locality.

While it's mostly on lease, it's not half bad. Thanks to Noelle's help I managed to find a lease house for a cheap price and it's in a way better locality than the village hut we currently live in.

Noelle decided to do the exact same thing and told me about the lease house... It was a good plan.

And so, we'd made plans to go back to our home towns together since we live in the same village afterall.

Our departure notice should arrive any minute now and we decided to leave the night we get the departure approval.

...

The very next day, we got the departure Approval and now we were allowed to go back to our hometowns.

"So, we are going home together now? How things have changed in mere 5 months."

"It's funny how these things work out aren't they?"

"I'm glad you helped me out that day, if it weren't for you I wonder if I'd have been this happy going back home."

"There's no point dwelling about the past, just make sure you survive the year and get better at Swordsmanship."

"You think I'm the one who needs to improve? I've got swordsmanship skill at D while my Rank is D1. You do realise that you are the one who needs to get better at Swordsmanship. It's like being lectured by a child about how it is like to be an adult hahaha."

"Well that's true, but to me... I think you are way better than your current level. I want you to realise your true potential."

*Slap*" ahhahaha really, you sure know how to sweet talk people."

She said slapping my back as hard as she could while smiling like an idiot. Ooh, she was weak to compliments wasn't she.

"Damn it that hurtttt!! What was that for?"

But, can that even be considered a compliment.

"Ahhaha Sorry, I got too excited. I finally get to see my parents after so long and I can also slap those asshole villagers in the face after how they belittled me and my parents."

"Yaa, you better show those assholes what's what."

"Hmm, you seem pissed? What's up?"

"Ooh it's nothing really, it was the same case for me. They were the main reason I shunned myself, they always belittled my family members and I was powerless to do anything that's why my whole family shunned them not knowing what else to do."

"Damn, so you went through the same thing I did haa? Those people really are irredeemable, why can't they just treat people normally?"

"Well, they are the king's puppets afterall."

"King's puppets? What do you mean?"

"Ooh, I mean as in minions of the king. Most of the villagers don't do much but these select few assholes always get in the way of talented people and tarnish their self confidence and make them useless."

"You sude do know a lot about why they do all this."

"Welp, it's just a hypothesis."

"Is that so. You sure are a weird guy."

"Why do you say that?"

"Just figure."

Why would she call me a weird guy, that hurts my feelings as a man.

Welp, it's alright I mean it ain't that bad.

We got out of the warp hole and had to walk about 200 metres.

And, now we were inside the village.

The village was pretty big with small houses all around and about a kilometre above there's a hill and on top of the hill is the king of this area.

Gorges L Roague.

That was his name and he was the man who was controlling some people like puppets.

He is a sub villain and would have been killed in the near future by the main hero and Noelle but now that they both are not close together.

We do not know how things will end. The MC might just end up fighting alone at this point.

Because, without defeating that rat bastard, neither we nor the MC can get out of this village.

He's controlling the village afterall.

"Welp, this is my cue. I'll see you after I talk a bit with my parents."

"Alright, I'm a bit nervous too... good luck."

"Hehe, you too."

She seems like she's in a good mood. So we live across from each other haa? She's just 1 house away from mine.

Anyway let's get in.

*Knock* *Knock*

*Open*

It soon opened with a creeking sound and a little creature popped it's head out of the door.

"Bwother?"

"Mwom Bwother is Here."

"Ooh, he's back?"

The women cought the little girl by the arms and picked her up and looked at me and gave me a worm smile while greetings me.

*Welcome back son."

Are? Why?

"Huh, son what happened? Are you alright?"

Huh? What the hell?

I touched my cheeks to make sure and as expected water was flowing out of my face.

I was crying.
