In A Corner Of The World

Student 217, Ainsley Erdmann, Present!

"Good morning Sir Caelus."

As soon as Caelus looked up, he'd looked down at his notebook (diary) again. Ever since he'd gotten it back he hadn't spoken a word to Kallian. Maybe this was why Rodrick was so surprised when Caelus began talking.

They were in a different class today. Support Magic class where you'd learn the basics of buff and debuff spells, defensive spells, poison extraction spells, etc etc.

It was a class where not many people wanted to attend since they'd thought most of it's contents was useless with normal magicians being just as well equipped for defense and healing magic; who wanted to work extra hard to basically apply first aid to someone when they could've just used healing magic?

It was puzzling to Kallian too as the lesson continued and he observed his seat mate, once again, being entranced by the class textbook and occasionally write in his notebook (diary).

"My little brothers!!!!! Did you miss me? Huh, huh, huh? I missed you too! I just wanted to squish your little cheeks the whole time I was being tormented by that sadistic Hedrick!"

There, running, was a senior who shared the same common features with Caelus and Rodrick. His hair was a darker shade of brown compared to his two younger brothers and his pale brown eyes made his somewhat normal appearance look refreshing.

The undisputed 'God of Combat', 'Sword Genius', and 'World Splitter' was also undoubtedly a 'Brother Idiot'! His overzealous attitude made it so he acted more like a child than his two younger brothers combined.

Caelus and Kallian had just stepped out of the class before Rodrick shortly arrived in front of the class. And now they had the whole brother trio in front of the Support Magic classroom.

Caelus, even though he was carrying a mountain amount of books, looked like he was ready to run away at any time. Rodrick also looked like he was using magic to reinforce an unseen, but dense barrier around himself.

"Ain....aren't you suppose to be helping clean up the mess you made last week in the right wing training hall?"

It was an understatement to call what happened to the training hall 'a mess'. A whole indoor training ground was sliced in half when Ainsley was practicing his concentrated attack and, because the building was sliced cleanly, they'd have to rebuild everything from the ground up again.

"Er.....actually I was gonna ask you to help with that..."

Ainsley's shamelessness really knew no bounds. While he was skilled with magic, it was different from his brother Rodrick who specialized in every kind of magic; Ainsley's magic was purely made for destruction and combat.

He'd tried to fix the building himself for the past week before giving up and going to his brothers for help. It really made one question how he was the elder brother to Caelus and Rodrick who sported a more serious persona. Well, Rodrick was also a brother idiot when he was in front of Caelus.

"I know you're thinking of something disrespectful Mr. Hero. Why don't you shut your trap and get out of here?"

Rodrick seemed to be able to read Kallian's thoughts as he glared at him. Ainsley, who was trying to vigorously hug Caelus who was dodging at an inhuman speed, finally took notice to the extra student hanging around his brothers and faced Kallian with a smile and hand stretched out.
