Masho no Otoko wo Mezashimasu

Chapter 18

18. Art of self-defense

With this, my future course has been decided. A few days later, Maki-san made a contract and came back to school. Then before she left, saying that she wanted to say hello to my parents, she asked me to tell them when it was a good day to meet.

And I have already told my mother. At first, I was told that I should go on to Seimei, but I somehow managed to persuade her.

I don’t want my High School Life to be full of Boys Love stories, so I really tried my best to persuade her. After that, what I need to do from now on is, I should do some review for my high school classes every day.

I remember graduating from high school once, but I don’t remember high school classes after I started working….

Therefore, if I do not study hard, I will definitely fail my class.

…. You see, the importance of studying can be understood only after you become an adult.

Well, I’ve decided where to enrol, For now, I can relax a little. So, I’d like to ask Koujou-san if she can teach me the self-defence technique that I had been thinking about before.

When I got down to the living room, Koujou-san was just cleaning the kitchen area.

“Oh, Koujou-san. after that’s over, could I ask you something?”

“Kohaku-sama, you don’t need to call me with honorifics. Please call me, Maria.”

It is said so with the usual expressionless face. However, I could feel that she's somewhat dissatisfied …

In fact, I had been asked to call her by her nickname. However, since I’ve only met her a few times, I didn’t call her by her nickname because I’m kind of reluctant to say it. But now, I feel like she is about to get angry if I don’t do that.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll call you Maria from now on.”

“Yes, please do so.”

The face is expressionless, but the voice sounds that she’s somehow a little excited. Maybe I just choose the correct answer.

“I’m sorry if I just disturbed you, but I wonder if you can spare some time for me after that.”

“Yes, no problem. It will take about five minutes more, so please wait for a while.”

“Thank you.”

After I heard those words, I sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV. And on the screen was ‘Super Arts’, the most popular sport in the world.

‘Super Arts’, It’s a martial art that takes place within a limited range and uses some special equipment. The range is generally a circle about 100 metres in diameter.

This martial art, The big difference it has with the one from my past-life is that the battle that takes place here is not just a striking battle, but a battle that is somehow it looks like you do it using some magic. The martial arts player also wears a special device on their body and rampages through a vast field. The awesomeness seems to be using magic as I mentioned earlier. Because it is natural for ‘Super Arts’ players to crush large rocks with their bare hands and run up the wall vertically. Some players attack by putting out flames or water. It’s just like Magic. And it’s okay even if you use weapons. It’s really different from the one in my past-life.

This Super Arts is hugely popular within boys, and the sports pros are also very popular within boys.

That’s why many women are longing to become a professional in this sport.
