nTsukasa and Touka didn’t waste their time and entered the train together to go to the Hagun Academy. By train, they needed at least to spend one hour before reaching their destination.

nNeither of them lacked money, considering Touka got a reward as a champion of the 61st Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and subsidy and income from the school and her work as Knight, stopping terrorism, and other things.

nTsukasa also had his own hospital and his savings from his work as a doctor in Kiriko’s hospital.

nHowever, they were quite economical with money since they came from orphanages. They had an experience of not having money, which caused them to treat money carefully and not spend it carelessly.

nWhen Tsukasa thought about an orphanage, he thought about his past. He felt that his birth was a miracle since he suddenly dropped from the white light when he was a baby and fell into the forest.

nIf it was a normal baby, then without a doubt, he would die when he was dropped in the forest.

nHowever, even though he was a baby, he could think normally, and his mind wasn’t much different from a college student’s. After all, he passed away when he was in his student time.

nEven so, Tsukasa was a baby, and he was dropped in the middle of the jungle. How could a baby live in the forest?

nTsukasa couldn’t even talk, nor even walk. He could only cry when he was a baby and thought that he was dead at that time, especially when a wolf suddenly appeared before him. He thought he would be eaten, so he kept crying and talking with his baby cry, but the wolf kept approaching.

nWhen Tsukasa thought he would be eaten, he didn’t expect the wolf to care for him and even feed him with its milk. At first, he was confused, but since the wolf didn’t harm him, he also calmed down and enjoyed the milk. He was just a baby, and he didn’t have the ability to search for food, so the only thing that he could do was to rely on this wolf.

nStill, not only wolf but Tsukasa also had been fed by boar, bear, monkey, tiger, or rather as long as it was the milk of mammals, he had drunk all of them.

nTsukasa wasn’t sure why those animals were so nice and so obedient to him even though he didn’t do anything. He thought that he could control an animal, or he had a good affinity with an animal that made them nice to him, but when he was brought to the river, he realized why they were so nice to him.

nTsukasa realized that he was handsome. He was so handsome that even an animal was charmed and obedient toward him. He realized that his appearance made him able to control those animals’ minds and make them care for him.

nIn the summer, they would bring him to the river to play, and in the winter, when it was cold, they would huddle together to warm together.

nTsukasa must admit that his life with the animals was the most peaceful life he had ever had. It was so nice and comfortable, but even so, he was a human, and there was no way for him to spend all of his time with all of those animals in his entire life.

nWhen Tsukasa was four years old, he met a human for the first time, and that human was the girl sitting next to him, Touka Todo. Their meeting was an accident, it was when he was hungry and wanted to eat, but he was a bit bored to eat something in the forest, so he walked around randomly and happened to arrive at the graveyard.

nIn Japan, there was a tradition where the people gave the dead people their favorite food.

nThe dead couldn’t eat, so Tsukasa ate the food that was placed on the tomb of the dead without hesitation.

nAs for being cursed or something, who would care about that?

nTsukasa was hungry, and if he didn’t eat, he would get hungry. His thoughts were simple. After all, he had been spending most of his time together with animals for the past four years, so he had never thought of a complicated matter.

nAs for why he spent four years together with a group of animals, he was already in his comfort zone, so he was a bit too lazy to move out. If he didn’t get bored of the food in the forest and happened to arrive at the graveyard, he might not have met a human.

n“Are you hungry?”

nWhen someone found out that he had eaten the food that was placed on the tomb, he thought that he would be scolded or even beaten up, but he didn’t expect that Touka, who met him at that time, would gently smile at him and ask him whether he was hungry or not, even though he had eaten the foods that were presented to her dead parents.

nTsukasa didn’t know the Japanese language at that time, but somehow he understood Touka’s words and could only nod. He only wore pants that were made from leaves at that time with a handmade bow or other random things, but as a handsome guy, he was still a handsome Tarzan.

nIf Tsukasa was Tarzan, then Touka was his Jane Porter.

nStill, his origin was also where it came from, and the one who named him at that time was also Touka.

nKugayama had the meaning of land, mountain, or hill. On the other hand, Tsukasa had the meaning of chief, manager, or boss. Therefore, if his name was combined, then the meaning of his name was “boss of a mountain.”

nTsukasa was speechless, but his name sounded nice, and it suited his origin, so he didn’t overthink and accepted his name.

nAfter he met Touka, Tsukasa then parted with the life in the forest and lived together with Touka in the Wakaba House, an orphanage that was built by Totokubara, which was the second richest Zaibatsu in Japan.

nSlowly growing up, learning Japanese, learning all other things, moving to all places in Japan, and Tsukasa grew up as a healthy 15-year-old Fukuoka city boy.

nWhile growing up, Tsukasa also learned his special body, so even though his magic power was just F-rank, he believed that he wouldn’t lose to anyone. Still, there was one more mystery about his ability, but to open that ability, he needed to use abundant magic power.

nTsukasa had developed a technique to amass all his magic and made him able to use that ability, but he was quite wary with the thought of using that ability when he was in a weak state, considering his technique left him in a vulnerable state after he used it.

nAs for the reason why Tsukasa decided to join the Hagun Academy, it might be true that he wanted to meet Touka. He also had a feeling that he would find a way to solve the problem of his ability.

n“Tsukasa! Tsukasa! Look! That’s Hagun Academy!”

nTouka shook Tsukasa’s shoulder several times and pointed her fingers in the direction of Hagun Academy.

nTsukasa saw the Hagun Academy from a distance and thought that a lot of chance and danger would be mixed in this school. He took a deep breath and prepared his heart, but one thing was for sure, he was ready for it.
