I Became an Academy Attack Helicopter

24 – Chapter 8. Band of Warriors – 1

– 25 –

Friday

It’s been a week since I came to the military academy, so I’m slowly getting used to life here.

The morning class starts next week, so I can’t just roll around in the morning like this, but I didn’t come here to play, so I’ll have to get used to it step by step.

I was waiting in uniform, and I heard the sound of Chermia’s door opening and went out.

“Eriff is out already?”

Cermia is surprised.

The pattern of Chermia knocking on her door to wake me from oversleeping for nearly a week had been continuing, so I had no choice but to wake up early.

“What do you eat for breakfast?”

“I am curry.”

“… ….”

Is there a ghost that died after not eating curry?

Since the last time I ate soup, I’ve been trying to focus on food that gives me a sense of urgency.

Some of the food remained vaguely in my memory, and there were other foods that were completely different from what I expected.

Anyway, I’ve found a few good menus so far, so I’ve been able to avoid repeating my diet in a day or two.

“Hello.”

I met Shane near the restaurant. It’s been a while since the three of us had dinner together.

I didn’t know what happened between Chermia and Shane because of my lack of intelligence, but at least it wasn’t a bad thing.

It was fun to watch the awkward and unusual air current flowing between the two, unlike in the past when they just stared at each other when they met.

More than anything else, it’s good if the main characters get along well.

Everyone got their meal and sat down.

“Are you eating a lot of Fortress Erif?”

“Yes. Eat a lot and exercise.”

A few days ago, I increased the amount I ate and ate two bowls of rice at a time, which made the protagonists pay attention.

I have increased the amount I eat, but I am not exercising.

How should I exercise in the first place?

If I, a spirit, do strength training, will I gain muscle?

I tried to raise my thin arm to make a biceps, but surprisingly it doesn’t work.

The situation is a bit serious. Are you serious about exercising?

If you live like this, you won’t be able to even pick up a spoon in the future.

After breakfast, the three of us discussed the afternoon schedule.

“What kind of class do you have today?”

Chermia pointed to the Friday part of the timetable.

There were various classes such as a two-hour company-wide major class, a class on the Dokdo method that reads maps, and safety education.

“Should I listen to the Dokdo method and beginner search magic? It’s a class for pilots or operators.”

Shane received the words of Chermia.

“I have to take a major class in the warrior class, so until I get to Dokdo Law… …. No, you just have to empty the time ahead. Before class, I try to free up as much time as possible.”

The two’s eyes are on me.

My choice is,

“Dokdo Law. Warrior major.”

Both together.

However, Chermia and Shane’s expressions were strange.

“Erif. Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“You also took an operator major class. And wouldn’t it be difficult to keep up with the company-wide class?”

It might be an unreasonable waste of time for other kids. But I had a reason.

“I have to exercise.”

Cermia and Shane’s expressions were difficult to explain when they heard those words.

Looking like an idiot? Any respect?

Ah, that’s the look of an idiot with respect.

“Are you going to take the warrior class only this week like the operator class?”

I was a little worried about Cermia’s question.

Certainly, taking more operator classes was not easy in many ways.

Originally, if you use the spirits, you can easily get points, but the teachers already stopped them, and there were other children’s checks.

It’s a pity we can’t see the twins, but we might be in the same class in the morning, right?

So there was no reason to listen any more.

Unlike the operator class major class, the warrior class major class doesn’t use my characteristics as a spirit at all.

I don’t know the details, but it must have pure physical strength.

Looking at this week alone, it seemed that something would be harvested.

At least, an objective evaluation of my body will be possible. Maybe there is a realization like last time, I don’t know.

I was looking forward to it even more because of the memories of realizing the magic of Hellfire during the high school warrior class practice.

And if the class was worthwhile, it was one way to listen all the time.

“I don’t know.”

“I can’t. Shane. Erif needs to be taken care of.”

“Don’t worry.”

The main characters somehow made me into a child in need.

After practicing reading and writing in the room in the morning, I ate lunch and took a class on Dokdo method with Zermia.

I thought how difficult it was to read a map, but there were more things I had to learn than I thought.

I was able to read the direction, but it seemed like it would require more study on accumulation and coordinates.

“Erif. Don’t get hurt and have a good trip.”

“Yes.”

After the Dokdo Law class was over, I broke up with Zermia and hurriedly moved to the playground.

After taking a formal class, I would have to change clothes during the break time, but as Shane said, it seemed that the time before that would have to be empty.

No, wouldn’t it be okay to just wear gym clothes before class?

If I meet the seniors of the warrior class, I’ll have to ask.

“Erif. Here.”

Shane waved her hand at the entrance of the playground.

She hurriedly ran and took a seat next to Shane.

I have to say that the children around me are a bit rude because it’s a transcription class. There were many strong students.

I’m a little scared.

The eyes of the children turned to me. There are some gossiping guys.

Did I look down on you?

“What are you so shy about?”

Shane approached him friendly and said that she might have been acquainted, but the children turned their heads away from Shane.

“Hey, why all of a sudden… ….”

“You play well with your girlfriend, not us.”

Uh. What now?

Without realizing it, her feet went forward.

I stood in front of the big guy who just said something, and looked up at his face.

“What, what?”

Looks like he was embarrassed and finally turned his head.

“I, Shane and I are just friends.”

Desperately avoiding his gaze as if I was Medusa, the hunk sighed and surrendered.

“Sorry.”

“Yes. Let’s be friends too.”

Saying so, he held out his hand.

The more friends, the better.

It is said that there are children who come to the military academy to strengthen their personal connections, and the children who will control the military power of this country in the future will come from here.

We should consider making 100 friends as a long-term goal.

The big guy who looked at my hand shyly shook my hand.

You’re a shy kid that doesn’t suit your size.

After greeting the other guys next to him, I got countless requests for handshakes.

In the end, the reason for the start is unclear, and a warm atmosphere was created.

“It’s a good mood, folks.”

At that time, a muscular middle-aged male teacher with a bare skin head appeared from the podium.

The scattered children lined up and lined up. The line was crooked because I hadn’t learned the ritual yet.

“Nice to meet you. This is Terrahan, who is in charge of the major class in the company class. There will be some students who just come to experience this week, so I will make it light.”

He seemed to be a more flexible teacher than he looked.

“Then I will only go around two laps on the playground to warm up. There are spare gym uniforms over there, so if you want to change, please change.”

Cancel the word flexibility.

The playground here is a playground for horses, and it boasted a wide enough space for a tram to move around.

Two laps around this playground? There could be no complaints.

“Teacher. Two wheels…….”

“There will be several hundred more rounds in the future, but is it a big deal to make two rounds now?”

The children looked tired of the teacher’s words.

Come to think of it, I never really ran after becoming this body.

I don’t know much about this body’s physical abilities.

There were a lot of differences from the human body, but it wasn’t all that different.

Two hands. Two legs. Sometimes my heart is pounding unnecessarily, and my stomach fills up properly when I eat food.

It was different from the spirits dwelling in the tank.

As far as I can tell, I was still human.

“Erif.”

I turned my head to see Shane patting my shoulder with a worried expression.

If I thought about it any longer, it didn’t seem like anything great would come out.

The best way to let go of meaningless thoughts is to strain your body.

“Let’s go.”

Shane smiled at my words.

We each went to the changing room with the right size gym clothes.

After changing clothes, I tied my hair with the braid I brought last time.

I saw children who had already left in the distance.

Me and Shane started running without anyone going first.

Did I say I never ran into this body?

Maybe it’s for now.

I went around a playground long enough to use the kilometer unit.

The breath was not very full. She was in the mood for light jogging.

But the condition of the other children did not seem very good.

Children who started earlier than us were out of breath and started panting behind us, and the children who started later couldn’t keep up.

At least Shane was running with me and her.

Even Shane was struggling with that, as she frowned slightly with sweat forming on her forehead.

She slowed down slowly and she approached him next to him.

“Is it hard?”

“A little. Erif runs well.”

“Yeah, I was surprised too.”

She put a mark on the back of her hand that she had reached the starting point and made a full circle.

“Okay! You run well.”

“It’s basic.”

After a high-five with the teacher who reached out her hand, she started running the rest of the distance.

The scenery flew by. Garage with tram, changing room and toilet, teacher building… ….

She ran frantically and Shane was far behind.

“Erif- go first-“

She heard Shane’s breathless voice, waved her hand in response, and then looked around.

There are less than 5 kids running like me.

Now, one and a half laps.

I decided to run at full speed for the remaining half lap.

The footsteps were light. Even the sweat was good.

It seemed to replenish energy with every step I took.

It was then.

“Ahhh!”

Someone screamed and hurried past me.

You’re accelerating at the top speed, but you’re being overtaken in vain?

I turned my head to that side out of curiosity, and when I saw the big guy who was going to eat me and my friend earlier, he was running hard.

That guy is pretty quick.

It’s a good size, so if you raise it well, you can use it as a beast of the Hota Jun clan.

But what is the beast of the Hota Jun?

In an instant, I saw something small behind him.

A bee the size of a thumb was fiercely chasing the back of a giant running with trembling horns.

Every time the giant fled to the right and left, the bee followed, waving its tail to and fro in the air.

It looks like… ….

Like… ….

Something came to mind as the fog in my head, which I couldn’t even recognize, was lifted.

In the spot where the flames of the image were lit a while ago, I felt a beast with a twist.

A huge snake that swims in the air with its long and long body elastically moving from side to side.

A proud hunter who never misses the prey he has set for himself.

But the hunter did not reveal his identity easily. He was chasing after his shadow and lost it in vain.

I tried to get a hint by observing the bee again, but it was after another student had driven the bee out.

Without feeling sad, the end of the run approached.
