Train Elementary Level Spell, Magic Arrow to the Absolute Limit ~The Exiled Noble Student Not Giving up, Train to Become the Strongest~

dn’t know about the world, nor was I capable enough to live on my own. 

Starving, I knocked on the gates of my parents’ home. 

Waiting for me was the cold gaze of my parents and brother. 

My father told me so:

“You’re a stain on our family name.”

“Plenty of noble kids go to that school.
Thanks to you, our family has become a laughing stock.
They call us ‘the shameless that ran from school.'”

Then, he continued like so:

“I suppose a moron will always be a moron.
I should have locked you inside without expecting anything out of you.
At the very least, you wouldn’t have scarred our family honor.”

A moron.

That was the first time I heard my own father speak those words.
I knew he’d always thought of me like that, but he had his way of being considerate as a father, so he never told me up-front like that until now. 

He finally said it. 

“F-Father—”

I opened my mouth.
I felt like I needed to say something.

However, Father wouldn’t listen.
He spoke in a way as if to block out what I would say. 

“Enough.
Don’t speak.
Don’t do anything.
Don’t make me expect anything out of you.
You’d be better off gone.
Do us a favor and never show your face here again.”

Then, at the very end, he said one last thing:

“You’re banished.
Never call yourself by the Luminous family name ever again.”

They kicked me out of the house. 

That said, it’s not like he left me with nothing.
As if fulfilling his final duty as a parent, my father left me a residence and sent money for living expenses. 

In short, it was consolation money. 

Ten years have passed since then.

I’m currently living alone in the house he gave me.
I had an elderly maid that helped me with my chores a few years back, but she ended up retiring because of her age. 

While thinking about this and that, I arrived at my destination.

“Here it is.”

After exiting the woods, I found the bird lying in a meadow.

My house was a bit far from the royal capital, located in a peaceful spot surrounded by a thin forest. 

My house was originally a villa owned by a senior noble.
My father was an acquaintance of his, and it seems like he received it from him.

When I approached the dead bird—

I was startled by what I saw.

Next to the highway connecting to the royal capital, someone was sitting under the shade of a tree.

While this road does lead to the capital, it isn’t the main road.
People seldom travel through here, so I didn’t think there’d be anyone here.

The person was wearing a pure white robe.
With their face covered by a hood and their head leaning downwards, I couldn’t distinguish their gender.

They didn’t move an inch, so they didn’t seem to notice me. 

I don’t really have any issues with anyone being here, but I feel a little embarrassed when I think of how my soliloquy might’ve been overheard.

Well, it doesn’t matter.
I should hurry up and go on my way after collecting the bird.

When I set off back to the woods—

Thud.

—I heard a strange noise.
When I looked back, the traveler resting in the shade was lying down. 

“…?”

I was a bit surprised.
Their posture was unnatural, and it didn’t seem like they fell asleep.
It was as if they collapsed—

I approached the traveler. 

“Hey, are you alright?”

No response.

Getting down on my knee, I shook the traveler’s shoulder.
No reaction.
However, I was able to see the traveler’s face.

It was a girl.

She looked to be a young lady around 15 years old.
She had pure white hair resembling snow that went down to her shoulders.
Her face was abnormally pale, and her breathing was rough.
When I placed my hand on her nape, it was hot enough to make me worry. 

“…Maybe I should nurse her at home…”

It’s true that I was a little hesitant.
It’s not that I wanted to put off working—I have nothing better to do, anyway.
I don’t mind doing this much. 

The problem is that I’m about to drag an unfamiliar, barely-conscious young lady to my house—where I live alone—on a whim.
Isn’t that a little..?

“…U, ugh…”

The girl let out a painful grunt.

I sighed.

Looks like I don’t have the time to be fussing over things.
Praying that I wouldn’t give her any strange misunderstandings, I lifted her up.
