Chapter 08 - Muscle, the Symbol of Masculinity(1)
A ponytail style with glossy black hair tied up tightly. Skin as clear as the first snow, contrasting with her hair. Her lips, which looked vibrant even without any makeup, caught Lumian's eye.
He pressed his lips firmly into a straight line. If he did not, he felt like his heart would leap out of his mouth.
He inhaled and exhaled through his nose.
Belatedly realizing his nostrils were flaring, the protagonist chastised himself.
‘Damn it, that must have looked unsightly!’
Е̃n̂ u̇ m̆а̀..і̆ d̀
But the future was an even bigger problem.
He had met a peerless beauty in an unexpected situation. Lumian's body had frozen like a stone with tension, and sweat poured down his back like rain.

He had felt it since the inn, but after his reincarnation, he had a tendency to become even more of a fool in front of a woman he found attractive. It was a lamentable fact. To be like this when he was always singing about wanting to date a pretty girl.
He took a low, deep breath. This time, he was careful not to let his nostrils flare. Then, he tried to calm his mind by circulating the Aura in his body.
“It's okay to eat together, right? It's my first time in the student cafeteria. Oh, and it's okay if I speak casually, right? Believe it or not, I'm your senior.”
“Ah, I know that······.”

“Yup. Hmm, this tastes better than I expected?”
The academy's free student cafeteria did not have many users. Most of the students were wealthy and wanted to eat high-class meals in more luxurious places. That was, of course, with the exception of Lumian, who had blown all his money on poison.
Therefore, there were no other students around them. That made it even harder for Lumian. Her pupils, which widened slightly as she ate the bread, and the corners of her mouth that naturally lifted, shook his heart relentlessly.
‘No. I have to get a grip!’

Even if he could not show a cool side, he could not freeze up like an idiot. Lumian mustered his mental strength to overcome the sudden crisis.
“Why are you just staring? Aren't you curious why I'm here?”
Ӗn̄ u m а
I am curious, so curious!
Lumian cried out inwardly. But contrary to his thoughts, his mouth did not open easily.
Hmph, the female senior hummed through her nose and leaned her upper body slightly, bringing her face closer to Lumian's. Lumian sucked in a sharp breath. Unable to meet her gaze, he rolled his eyes downward.
And then he knew.
That for her face, she had a disappointing chest.
“······I am curious. Before that, could you please tell me your name?”

The tension in his body slowly eased. The sweat that had been pouring down also stopped, and his trembling hand under the table found its calm.
It was because Lumian was the type to value figure over face. After confirming the female senior's chest, he finally found peace of mind and was able to converse with composure.
Seeing such a Lumian, the female senior's eyes widened. An expression of slight surprise.
She was so cute that he wanted to go and hug her right away, but Lumian was fine. For a woman, her body was more important than her face.
“You’re bold. Asking for a lady's name so freely.”
“Ah, my apologies. My name is Lumian Calard. I am a second-year knight cadet, in Class E. May I ask for your beautiful name, senior?”

“Heehee, you're really interesting. Though it hurts my pride a little that you don't know me.”
“Ah, um. Sorry······.”

Lumian offered an apology with a flustered expression.
Although he had regained his composure, handling a woman's jokes was still too much for Lumian. Seeing his dull reaction, she puffed out her cheeks with a pout and then introduced herself.
“Tania Eloise. I'm a third-year.”
“I see.”
Én um а̂
“You fight well, you know?”
Flinch. Slightly surprised, Lumian looked at Tania Eloise.
He had become incredibly strong in just one day. It was incomparable to his past life, but he was by no means at a level where he would not sense a knight cadet approaching.
How on earth did she know? The mystery was quickly resolved. Tania, flashing a bright smile, continued.

“I was looking around with a Magic Telescope. I skipped class and had nothing to do.”
“Is that alright? Don't a lot of students start getting held back from the third year?”

“It's fine. Assaulting a fellow student is a much worse offense.”
“I have not assaulted anyone. I only shook their hands.”
“I went to the infirmary, and their hands were all swollen, you know? It looked like it hurt a lot. It seems they aren't saying why they got hurt because of their pride.”
Lumian let out a chuckle. He did not find Tania, who was persistently picking a fight with him, detestable at all.
It was because she was pretty. She was not his type, but he was always prepared to be generous to a pretty woman.
Lumian bowed his head slightly and said.

“I apologize. I will run to the boys right now to apologize, and I will also confess everything to my professor.”
“Hmm. That wasn't my intention.”
“Then?”
“Buy me a meal next time. In exchange for me turning a blind eye.”
“Pardon?”
“Something delicious. Dessert included.”
Е̂n̂umӑ
Lumian wore a dumbfounded expression.
Tania Eloise's face, still smiling brightly, came into view. After a moment of staring blankly, he snapped to his senses and thought.

‘Could this be a request for a date?’
It seemed likely.
No, I don't know yet. Don't be rash.
There was nothing more embarrassing than getting one's hopes up only for the other person to get serious. Lumian felt his palms begin to sweat again and composed himself.

Tania pressed him once more.
“Why, you don't want to? Then I guess I have no choice. I'll have to go find a professor to report a delinquent student.”
“No, that's fine. I'll buy it, the meal.”
“Heehee. See you later. And I'm sorry about before. I'll buy dessert.”

With those final words, Tania Eloise left in a flash.
She appeared like the wind and disappeared like the wind. Watching her recede into the distance, Lumian's expression turned serious.

After a moment of deep contemplation, he quietly muttered to himself.
“She’s not my type after all.”
Though he was a virgin with no dating experience, Lumian had no intention of dating just anyone. The female senior might be angry if she knew, but he wanted to share his love with his ideal type.
‘Still, let’s stay on friendly terms.’
Who knows?
Perhaps among her friends, his ideal type might exist.

‘But what was she sorry about? Did she make some mistake toward me?’
With a puzzled expression, Lumian soon nodded. It seemed she was talking about having threatened to report the recent incident to a professor.
That much is nothing. I know it's a joke. With a grin, Lumian resumed his interrupted meal.
Only half a day had passed since he started his academy life, but his mood was more joyful than at any time in his past life.

‘Quite impressive, isn't he?’

Tania Eloise, who was leaving the student cafeteria, had an interested expression. The smile on her lips and her crescent-shaped eyes represented her mood.
‘Where did someone like that suddenly pop out from? I thought I had already identified all the useful ones.’

To think such a talent was hidden among the second-years. It was a relief to have found him now.
Of course, he was not at a level that would make her eyes pop out. Compared to Cal Krone, who boasted unrivaled skills among the second-years, he seemed to have quite a few shortcomings.
‘Cal Krone wouldn't have had much trouble.’
When she first encountered Lumian Calard, Tania Eloise had simply exercised her skill.

She had strongly projected her presence to pressure her opponent. As she had expected, Lumian had shown signs of struggle, his face hardening and sweat pouring down.
‘But he broke free from the pressure not long after.’
That was right. He had belatedly resisted her energy and escaped the pressure. It seemed he had been diligently circulating his Aura as soon as he was exposed to her presence.
It could be said that he had definitely surpassed the level of a second-year. Ordinary cadets would not have been able to meet her eyes until she released them.

‘His personality seemed decent too.’
No matter how much of a senior she was, what she had done was quite severe. To the point where it would be fortunate if the other person saw it as a mischievous prank.

However, Lumian showed no signs of being offended at all. On the contrary, he tried to play along with her jokes, showing a polite demeanor.
“I'll have to look into him a bit more.”
Hehe, Tania let out a light laugh.
It felt like she had found a gold coin at the very start of the semester. For her, an avid collector of talent, it was a rather pleasant start.
That was right. She was mistaken.
Lumian's nervousness was not due to her presence. He did not even know that she had projected her presence. It was because he was solely focused on her beautiful face.

Likewise, the reason he regained his composure was not because he had resisted her presence. A meager chest. It was regrettable, but that was the correct answer.
A situation so sad that her misunderstanding was a blessing in disguise.
All of this was a tragedy created by Lumian, a man of good character but full of lewdness.

“Ah, why Professor Arnold on the first day?”
“I know, right? I'm going crazy.”

“Ugh, it's already dreadful. I want to run away.”
“Should we?”

“No. The physical training class has a high score distribution. If you do that, you'll be held back starting from the second year.”
“Damn it······.”
An indoor training hall prepared for the knight cadets. Inside, lumps of metal and equipment that looked suffocating just to look at were lined up in rows.
But there was an even more burdensome presence.
W̃ӗ.b̌nо v̂ еl̈ _Ӗn ùmа
A muscular man who flung open the door of the training hall and entered.
Professor Arnold scanned the cadets of Class E.
“A few are missing?”
“Three are injured and in the infirmary.”

“They're not faking it, are they? Well, I suppose they wouldn't dare do that in my class. If they ran away, I'll fold their spines.”
Professor Arnold grinned and rolled his neck once.
W e b_nо̌v̂_ěĺ Е n̆ ũ mа
The cracking sound of his joints and his twitching trapezius muscles made the cadets' breath catch in their throats. A few of them already looked on the verge of tears.
The physical training class taught by Professor Arnold was quite important for the knight cadets.
Although knights possessed a mystical power called Aura, training the body was essential to support it.
Because a synergistic effect could explode depending on how excellent a physique one built, most outstanding knights did not neglect their physical training. The cadets also all knew how important this was.
But even knowing that, they could not help it. The children simply could not enjoy this time.
Physical training is incredibly difficult. The burning sensation felt when squeezing out strength to the limit, and the nausea after lifting heavy weights, are all terrible pains one would not want to experience.

On top of that, it was also dreadfully boring. There was no element of competition with others, and it lacked technical aspects. One simply had to overcome the battle with oneself through stubbornly repetitive actions.
There was no way the patience of a mid-teen could endure such a task. The cadets of the Knight Academy's second-year Class E all showed an attitude of reluctance, displeasing Professor Arnold.
However.
While everyone else was scowling, there was one person whose eyes were shining brightly.
An unfortunate man who had no testicles, and therefore had never possessed magnificent muscles.
It was none other than Ryan Promhart, no, Lumian Calard.
