But God Forced Me to Reincarnate!

School Day 3

At dinner after my second day of school, I told my parents on how I planned to visit my friends' dorm room and they didn't mind at all. It seemed like Alt-nii often went over to Harvey's room, so he was also fine with it.

...As for the trip to the Capicastle with my friends, in which we were going to compare the two treasure chests... I need to work on that plan a bit more before bringing it up.

That night, I hardly could sleep, thinking about the two exciting lessons we were having the next day!

Magic and Physical Combat... Finally, I'd be able to take both of the classes! The magic class sounds exciting, and as for physical combat class... I need to be careful and pay close attention to what I'm going to be taught—I need to adopt the stances taught, rather than letting my style remain similar to Grabberton's.

After rolling about on the bed for a while, I finally fell asleep.

With the chirping sound of the birds and the warmth of the sunlight on my skin, I started my day the next morning. Even if I tried to stay calm, people could still see the excitement in my eyes. They even teased me—and praised me for being so enthusiastic about school!

...which is perfectly fine, considering that I'm just a small child!! Being a child sure has its own benefits!! I have to treasure each moment and make full use of the advantages of being a child before I'm a child no more. It's not like you'll be able to experience a second childhood!

Correction, this is my second childhood, though...

The moment class started, Morgan-sensei instructed us to submit our choices through the holographic device provided.

Afterward, Morgan-sensei instructed us to separate into two groups: Group One was for those who selected either Physical Combat or Magic—or both, while Group Two is reserved for those who were only taking Elective. For those who picked the combination of combat and elective—they were directed to Group One first.

Hence—I was separated from Iris.

Luca picked both Physical Combat and Magic just like me, while Kiri only chose Physical Combat, and Carbuncle—surprisingly, only chose Magic.

"If it's only physical combat, I could beat everyone with bare hands, so there is no need for me to learn it!" Carbuncle laughed, "but I will be there to observe the class! I'll also go over to check on Little Sheep from time to time~"

That explains why she didn't choose physical combat... that's right, a dragon's raw strength far exceeds our own.

As for Kiri...

"My magic capability isn't that good. Besides, Father would want me to follow in his footsteps, so I'll just focus on my swordsmanship."

Actually, his line of thought isn't all that unreasonable, so I didn't question him—but for some reason, when I asked Carbuncle about her class choice, Kiri suddenly stated his reason as soon as Carbuncle finished speaking.

Did he think I'd not think that through and would ask him? Oh well...

"Iris... will you be okay? Nobody in our peer group is taking Elective other than you..."

I shifted my gaze towards Iris who timidly looked at us before starting to walk to Group Two.

"I will feel lonely, but it can't be helped...," Iris answered dejectedly. My heart ached from seeing her lonely face, but it's true that it can't be helped...

Perhaps noticing my worried gaze, Iris quickly shook her head and forced herself to smile, "There are some of our other classmates in the Elective course, so I'm sure that I can get along well with them! Don't worry about me, Lyra! As the older one, I'll be embarrassed if I make you worried for this reason."
