The Borders
Part 41 – Fake Friends
Kashel went to school like a child in general, got up early to breakfast in the dormitory and then went to class, although there were some people who like to address Kashel cynically or sometimes nabbed him with their protective spirit, it doesn't seem to be any good. Because it doesn't work for Kashel.
"How can such an ordinary person enter this academy?" some of the students and students looked at Kashel dismissively.
"Depart insider, hahaha." They laughed insinuating Kashel. They will never understand that Kashel came here because he was forced to.
If Kashel does not wear glasses in particular no protective spirit can disturb him. In addition to his fortitude more than others, although sometimes upset he can forgive it all.
To Kashel, the strong man was the one who was able to withstand the emotions of his anger.

In his class Kashel has found some friends, Kashel considers them friends. Although Kashel knew himself to be taken advantage of, they were good when he wanted to copy Kashel's Homework for example.
After their break no one cared about Kashel anymore, but Kashel remained happy about it. There are people who want to talk to him Kashel already feels very happy.
"Kashel can see your PR?" ask a female friend of Kashel who had heard Kashel read a book in class. The girl's name is Leta.
Kashel unceremoniously gave his book away. Then everyone in his class immediately gathered and ransacked Kashel's book.

Such was the life of Kashel until finally it did not feel like seven years of Kashel's schooling there, he was never openly bullied by his friends.
It was just that when Kashel used his spirit glasses, he would be all out attacked by their protective spirit. As time went by the ability of Kashel's famous barrier spell in his class, there was no one who could use such a barrier spell.
Twice the great attack of the protective spirit could Kashel endure, after which he would instantly fall unconscious exhausted of course.
His ability was then famous until one generation found out, he got additional value from his teachers because of his superiority, so the value is at a safe point. Although he could not magic at all.
The power of the spell belonged to Kashel, it could even fend off his teacher's attacks but this was still not how much.

As Kashel grew older, she fell in love with her friend Leta from the age of ten, the girl who approached her first.
He confesses his feelings to Leta, and the girl accepts. For the first time Kashel felt happy, he could feel the affection of others.
He loves Leta very much and is completely in love with her, but Kashel does not know that she is only used, they are dating like teenagers in general. Leta really likes to see Kashel's Homework during a date.
But Kashel was never a problem for him, he always gave his homework happily to Leta. Taught Leta when she didn't understand the lesson.
Actually Kashel did that to his classmates as well. He really feels happy to be close to others even though he knows if he is used only. But it was better than when he was left alone.

It was only where they had to take the practice exam in the Dark Forest. In the end the character of Kashel's friends was seen all there, no one wanted to be friends and a group with Kashel even his loved ones. Everyone thought it was a team burden.
Kashel simply breathed his patience, there was a great pain in his heart, "I hate all these people." He muttered, but then it dawned on him that he should not hate others, he did not live to hate others.
"But still it hurts," he murmured again, but Kashel's strong determination to throw it all away, he did not want to be dissolved in grief and anger. He was usually treated that way by people.
But for his feelings, because it was his first love and a lot of time he had spent together. Makes it look like there's an invisible scratch inside his chest.
Kashel was still able to endure the pain and began to behave normally that very day, he was silent. Because he was about to enter the Dark Forest in a moment, carrying out his first duty there.
They were not tasked with exterminating the Spirit of Darkness but were tracking down the protective spirit belonging to their teacher who was spreading his energy in that area of the forest.
If they were to mis-track the energy inevitably they would have to face the Dark Spirit.
Kashel was heartbroken, his existence actually slightly smelled by the spirits, but Kashel tried to make peace with his heart. He assured himself he could not bring his feelings to this test.

Kashel was eventually put into a squad that lacked people. The squad was divided into six groups of which one squad numbered five.
"See why we're a bunch with this burden." Kashel did not care about the words of his friends he was busy preparing his own goods.
Kashel prepared various kinds of things, afraid that if he got lost at least he could survive for some time.
The forest of darkness was quite vast and many Dark Spirits lived there.

In this exam, all classes apparently take a field practice exam tracking energy and finding it from grades A to C. Because it was an important thing for the Boundary Guard Knights to do.
The exams finally started. At first Kashel went into the forest to go along with his team but then he was left alone, because everyone could move quickly with their protective spirit. And to think that the slow Kashel was a burden.
Kashel did not want to complain that he took out his flashlight to look for a way, but Kashel was terrified because it was the first time he had ventured at night in the woods.
Luckily it was around seven o'clock at night unlike the time of the original Boundary Guard Knights, who worked when the moon shone so brightly in the sky, it more or less started around ten p.m. It was then that powerful spirits appeared.
Kashel then put on his glasses. He felt the darkness so thick. And reflexes to open his glasses again.
"I can't be afraid" he continued walking. Because fear could bring the Spirit of Darkness closer, Kashel tried to throw away his fear.
During this time he had already practiced various kinds of Limit Guard Knights practices, although not all of his grades were perfect but he could pass as well.
Kashel braved herself again using her glasses again. It just so happens that the place where Kashel stands now is a place clean of dark energy.
No one knew the special ability that Kashel had gained after he had used his glasses, Kashel could feel the dark, neutral energy and the Boundary Knights' energy well. Kashel did not understand at first but after trying this practice, Kashel learned of his abilities.
In the middle of the forest Kashel felt an energy that had been evenly dispersed. Mostly from dark energy, he then felt a different energy.
The energy was quite large but it did not feel dark or light. At first Kashel thought maybe that was the energy he should be looking for. Releasing his glasses Kashel walked towards the huge energy source, if feeling less certain Kashel would use his glasses again, while activating a protective spell so that the Spirit of Darkness could not sense his existence. But how surprised he turned out that what he came to was not the energy of the person he was looking for.
