『22』

As Hana and I walked down the city finding an inn, she was staring at them with amazed eyes.

"This is your first time going out?" I asked.

"Un, I was a giant moth so I couldn't really do much." replied Hana.

"I guess that makes sense. If you were a monster that powerful, how come you weren't known as one of the strongest ones?"

"Because I don't find a point in attacking, I was placed in the dungeon for trials and did what I had to."

"I see."

In other words, Hana was bound to be in the dungeon for the people entering the dungeon for trials. Along with Lumi, the spirit that now resides in me, as the final boss. Though I don't think I could really call her the final boss.

We arrived in front of the inn and entered it. There were a few people lined up so while we waited, I looked at the interiors of the inn. With decorated wooden walls along with paintings that represented dragons along with multiple swordsman.

"How nostalgic." I muttered.

"What was that?" asked Hana.

"Nothing, just thinking about my past a bit." I said.

There wasn't a need to hide it from Hana since she knew I was an otherworlder.

"Next!" said the inn keeper.

"Hello, can we stay here for about a week?" I asked.

"Yep, that'll be 7 gold coins." said the inn keeper.

I paid the inn keeper with the money the Grandmaster gave me. Our room was A7, upstairs to the left. Once we entered the room, it was well designed and gave off a relaxing feeling.

We walked into our bedroom which had a large bed that was enough to fit both of us.

Hana was about to jump onto it but I quickly grabbed her by the back of her collar.

"Your clothes are dirty, get in bed after we change and clean up." I said.

"Hmph." replied Hana with a pout.

She was just too cute.

We changed and got into the bath. Hana had requested me to wash her because she couldn't reach her back, but I knew she just wanted me to wash her. Her hair was nice and it gave off a pleasant feeling as I washed it, her small body made her even more cute.

After cleaning up, we dried our hair and body with the towels that gave us. Naturally, my hair was already dried and didn't need the towel, Hana used her fire magic and used that to dry her hair.

That was an interesting way to do it.

Hana got into the pajamas that were provided by the inn while I got into the ones I bought earlier before I entered the dungeon. The first thing Hana did was jump onto the bed and face planted onto it.

I chuckled a bit, "Just couldn't wait huh?"

"I'm tired." said Hana with a yawn.

I also got into bed with Hana on the right and I'm on the left. Looking Hana's sleeping figure, I pulled her in my arms and my chin rested against her soft head. Her small arms were wrapped around my waist as she snuggled in my arms.

With the warmth that embraced us both, we both fell asleep, like a mother sleeping with her daughter.

...

Soon enough, Hana and I were walking down the hallways towards the class Shizue's students were.

I talked a bit with Yuuki beforehand, he mentioned that the 5 students, Summons, were brought here for a specific purpose. They were given powers suited for that purpose, just like the hero who may become mankind's trump card.

When one is crossing worlds, one is given a new body. The body acquires a massive amount of energy and acquire new abilities. But the energy the five students had were too fast and their body couldn't contain it. Meaning the body will be obliterated by the energy that has nowhere to go.

They were to die within 5 years.

What's worse was that the 5 nations had agreed to this, humans truly disgust me.

Well, no point in talking about this, I should probably get to teaching, I do get a minimum wage of 10 silver coins after all.

There was a slight change in our schedules, the week I had taught had plans so instead, we would do a competition with the other classes. It was going to be fun seeing how they would do but first, I needed to teach these students first.

Before Hana and I entered the class, I felt a tug on my shirt.

"What is it Hana?" I asked.

"What if they don't like me?" asked Hana.

I guess a little kid did have problems like this but it's fine because,

"Hana is cute! The cutest 7 year old little kid that I've ever seen."

"Don't say that!" said Hana feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Are you okay now?" I asked.

"Un, I'm fine." replied Hana.

Once we opened the door, there were 5 students that looked quite bored. I got up to the stand while Hana went to the chair next to it and sat.

"I'm calling for names, say here when you hear your name."

"Kenya Misaki, Ryota Sekiguchi, Gale Gibson, Alice Rondo, and Chloe Auburt."

"Didn't I say to say here when you hear your name? Alright, I didn't want to do this but it seems I have to." I said.

I released a bit killing intent that was enough to make the person see illusions.

"Kenya Misaki."

"H-here!" said the orange haired boy.

"Ryota Sekiguchi."

"Here!" said the black haired boy.

"Gale Gibson."

"Here!" said the brown haired boy.

"Alice Rondo."

"H-here!" said the blonde haired girl.

"Chloe Aubert."

"Here." said the black haired girl hugging her book.

"See? It wasn't that hard." I said.

The killing intent dissipated and I could see the kids release a breath they didn't realize they were holding.

From the looks of it, I can tell they hold a very high amount of energy, they would probably live for a year at most. Although I don't think I can cure that, I could probably help then by making them release magical energy.

"Now then, let class start shall we? But before that..."
