“Huh……. sleepy sleepy.”

I walk sluggishly to the bed, scratching my head.

“Ha, you look tired, Noah.”

In my room, my roommate, Rick, was lying in bed, reading a book.

The sun had long ago set and the second day at the academy was coming to an end.

“Well, it’s a slow day. There’s a lot going on when there are so many people here.”

“I’ve heard about the trouble that went through in A-class.”

“Oh, you’ve heard the rumor?”

Rick nodded.

“Vigilante …… I hear they were here.”

“Yeah. You know the Vigilante?”

“It’s famous. You know, this academy has students of all sorts of statuses and powers, right? So it seems to be pretty contentious……. But the academy doesn’t seem to interfere with that too much because they’re so competitive.”

“They’re not interfering. It’s like the school doesn’t even know about it. It’s the law of the jungle, so it’s a blessing in disguise.”

“Well, you might as well say so……”

Rick chuckles a bit muddled.

“It’s a very good idea to protect ourselves. The current leader of the group is Haruka Ichinose, a third-year student. It is said that she is a beautiful woman who uses a sword.”

Harka…… That ponytail, huh? It’s true that the way she fought with her sword was out of the ordinary, but I haven’t seen her use magic yet. But at least with that kind of power in her bare hands, she’ll be even stronger with magic.

I was able to get behind her somewhat easily, but that was definitely a section where she underestimated me as a new student.

“Oh, I see you’ve met her with that fave. I’m sure you’ve had a brush with an A-class person, but ………… isn’t that Noah?”

“Yes, it was me, okay?”

“Yeah, you’re right, as expected–what? It was you, Noah!?”

I lie down on the bed and minister appropriately.

“Well, it didn’t take long to clear up the misunderstanding.”

”Oh, yeah, ……. Surprisingly, Noah is a strong man ……?”

“Yeah.”

“Haha …… awesome confidence. I envy you.”

“You didn’t come to the Academy because you are weak, aren’t you?　Well, I don’t know, I haven’t seen your power yet.”

”Umm, I’m a feeble-minded person……. It’s amazing, I can’t believe you weren’t intimidated by that Haruka”

Rick chuckles and closes the book.

”It’s not that big of a deal. But the way you talk about it, I’m sure plenty of things like that happen in this academy. You can’t graduate if you’re scared of every single thing, right?”

“Yes…… I have to be careful about things too.”

“Oh …… huah……”

I can’t help but let out yarning. 

The dimly lit room seems to be making me sleepy.

“Oh, you look sleepy, sorry. Let’s go to bed.”

“Yeah. …… Good night, Rick.”

“Good night, Noah.”

And so the night passed.

“Oh, wow, this is awesome……”

“Yeah. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

Arthur and Nina have their mouths open in interest and are scurrying around.

The basement of the academy. There was a huge space that had been barricaded with magic. Probably, even if there was a sorcerer who could use transfer magic perfectly, he or she would not be able to enter this space directly. That’s how powerful a barrier it is.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

It seems that this academy has such an excellent barrier mage. As expected of an elite school.

And the fact that the wards are so powerful means that they need to be made that much tighter. Probably none of the students are aware of it, and our teacher, who is leading us, only explained that it is a double ward, but to be exact, it is a quadruple ward.

It was great enough to make the students get false information as well. There is a possibility that this teacher himself believes that this ward is a double ward.

And what on earth is in this space? That is–

“Gooooo!”

“Gaaaah!”

“Grrrrrr…….”

The roar of the beast and the sound of gunning iron. The smell of flesh and blood.

“Eek!”

“Hey, come on, you’re taking it too far, Nina. It’s in a cage.”

I catch Nina, startled by the monster that suddenly collided with the cage, as she turns her body upside down in a panic, and I grab both of her shoulders to catch her.

“Noah……. Even so, this is still a surprise to me! Monsters aren’t something you see very often…….”

“That’s sweet. Adventurers like me are used to seeing this stuff.”

“I see, Clarice, you’re right.”

Yes, in this underground space, a large number of monsters were kept in cages.

Orcs, goblins, lyga, golems, trolls, cyclops, skeletons, chimeras, cerberus, et cetera ………….

Not many higher-level monsters are in this hierarchy, but it houses quite a few different kinds of monsters.

It is said that they are used for a wide variety of purposes, including training our students, researching magic, researching usages, studying alchemy–and so on. Certainly, we can’t experiment and train with humans. Come to think of it, I remember doing a few quests for B-class quests where I had to capture monsters and deliver them to the wholesalers in the royal capital. I’m sure they were sold to these places, those monsters.

However, all the monsters have been braced, or perhaps they are not as wild as the wild. When a lyga sees a human, its eyes light up and its fangs come out and it starts roaring, but the lyga here is sitting relatively quietly.

On the other hand, trolls, cyclops, and cerberus are kept in cages much tighter than other monsters, and some of them are handcuffed. From time to time, the sound of heavy blows and low growling can be heard from inside.

”Okay, you can visit as you please, but don’t touch the monsters in the cage. There was an idiot who once opened a goblin cage without permission, but you can imagine what kind of punishment he was dealt with. Well, before the punishment, the goblins came by and beat him up …… well, I’ll say no more.”

The students brace themselves for that statement and disperse.

We gathered with Arthur, Nina, and Clarice and stroll around the area.

“It’s an orc. They’re very belligerent and fertile, so they tend to stay in packs. They basically live in the forest. They are very close to humans among the monsters, but their attacks are monotonous. Because of the frequent incidents of being kidnapped by Orcs, the mission of defeating Orcs is like a gateway to success for new adventurers.”

“Well, you’re a class-A adventurer. You know your way around a monster.”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Clarice puffs her chest out in a not-so-full manner.

“Nina uses summoning techniques too, and she knows a lot about monsters, doesn’t she?”

Then Nina buzzed and shook her head.

“Not really. It’s true that I have knowledge of monsters from books and such, but I’ve rarely seen them in person. And my contracts are mostly spirit-based.”

“That’s right. The sylphs and the faeries were spirits.”

“Yeah, yeah. But I’m interested in monsters. I think I’ll have to use them someday, so it’s a great reference point for me to have a place like this.”

”Haha, that’s good. Monsters are in danger of being killed if you’re not careful, no matter how low-level they are. It’s better to be knowledgeable.”

“Wow, the way you talk, Noah knows quite a bit about monsters too, are you?”

Arthur looks at the inside of the cage and asks me with a weird look on his face.

“Well. Lowood is a rural area, and monsters are everywhere.”

“Oh, I see that’s the source of your magic too, huh?”

After strolling around for a while, talking about it, I find a woman staring at the cage and holding a book in her arms. It’s not a classmate. So, perhaps it was a senior.

The woman had an unusual scent in the air.

Mandrake’s Scent …… I’m probably the only one who can recognize this scent. The book in her hand also seems to be alchemy-related.

I’m not sure if they’ve noticed us or not, but the woman turned to me.

“…… Oh my God, are you a new student?”

Long brown hair and vacant eyes. Dark circles under her eyes.

“Um, yes! We’re freshmen and we’re going to take a look at …… for a bit of a tour here……

“You …… of the Raymond family ……”

“What? You know me?”

“I’m surprised there are people in this country who don’t know you. I’m Sailor Yggdrea of the third year.”

The unhealthy-looking woman, Sailor Yggdrea, smiled slightly.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
