Finding Nina

A month had passed since I started school.

Before starting school, I could train seven days a week, but now my training time had been reduced to just weekends. I thought that this would be a serious setback in my quest to become stronger, but both Renji-san and my father insisted that my studies were more important at this stage.

They were absolutely right, so I couldn't argue, and I obediently attended my classes.

If studies are more important, does that mean I'll be expected to go to university?

Honestly, becoming an exorcist doesn't require qualifications like a lawyer or a doctor, and I doubt I need any academic credentials. I could probably even become an exorcist without finishing high school, although the idea of a middle school graduate exorcist sounds a bit questionable.

As I pondered these things, I half-listened to the math lesson.

…Hmm, it's boring.
