“Are you still in touch with Sailor?”

I scoop my soup, huffing, and puffing, and looked at Nina.

It’s been a few days since we went to visit the monster cage in the underground facility. We’ve gotten used to the academy, and Arthur doesn’t get lost in the weirdness anymore.

It’s no longer the usual breakfast time. We are grateful for the luxury of having something different to eat every day and the menu changes from day to day as we grow up. Of course, I liked Shelah’s food, but that’s another story.

Getting up in the morning has never been my strong suit (Shelah would force me to crawl under the covers to wake me up), but it’s not an exaggeration to say that breakfast is what keeps me up in the morning. Rick was relieved that I was getting up early, too.

Nina looked at me and nodded as she picked up her bread.

“Yeah, I’m learning a hell of a lot. I don’t have the opportunity to observe the monsters directly on my own, by all means. Especially there’s no way I would have allowed that stubborn mother to want to go see the monsters……”

“Well, it’s true that you don’t get a chance to do that. If you’re an adventurer like Clarice, I’m sure you have plenty of opportunities to do so.”

“That’s true. Once again, I realized that adventurers rely on people in their profession for many things. I have to thank Clarice. –Ahem.”

As she says it, Nina bites into the bread as well. She has a mouth full of it and bites down happily.

“So, what’s the story? I’m a little curious.”

Nina hurriedly chewing her mouth full of bread and swallowed it vigorously as she hurriedly munched on it.

“–Puh-uh, all sorts of things! I can only look around at the first level, so I can’t learn as much about the higher level monsters, but for me, that’s exciting enough.”

“I’m sure you’ll learn a lot about it. It’s true that it might be educational to be able to look around there freely. Can she tell you about the monsters’ weaknesses and habits?”

“Something like that. It’s a habit that you wouldn’t understand unless you were observing it or a difference in vigilance. After that–habitat, medicines you can make from the parts of the monster, trivia, etc…….

Yes, Nina speaks excitedly, counting on her fingers.

Apparently, she is quite enthralled. The third-year class is almost over, and she said that her main focus is on research. I thought she was pretty good at the point when she was approved by her teacher and could freely enter and leave the underground facilities, but if Nina says so, she must be quite a gem.

“– Well, if Nina likes it, that’s fine. If we’re going to use the summoning technique, then knowledge of monsters is a must.”

“Mmm-hmm.”

”Oh, well, speaking of monsters, isn’t there going to be our first major exercise soon?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Then Arthur, who had been single-mindedly pecking away at ham, finally looked up.

“What is that ……?”

“Huh? Arthur, you forgot about it? It’s an extracurricular exercise.”

“Extra-curricular exercises ………… Oh, yeah, homeroom teacher said that.”

Arthur nodded exaggeratedly as if he had finally remembered.

“I’ve heard that the academy owns part of the ‘Limba Forest’ west of the royal capital and that the monsters in the underground facility during this time are released there to hunt them.”

“Oh, yeah, hunting.”

Sort of like a hunting contest. It’s not much fun, but getting used to killing monsters is a good thing. You’re a wizard, you can’t avoid it. I’m talking about fighting though.

“You’d think we’d be better off without the wild.”

“I suppose. If it was at my level, it wouldn’t be a problem, but those noblemen and great families who only learn to deal with other people are probably not used to dealing with life in the first place.”

“Life…..”

Arthur gulps and swallows his spit.

“I’m not exaggerating, though. It’s just that when it comes to fighting for your life in the wild, you can’t use your usual strength to its fullest, and this is a pretty formidable monster that is wounded. It’s because they’re coming to you as a discarded body. That would lead to unnecessary accidents, so it’s only fair that they’re not wild.”

Arthur makes a bitter face at my statement, ugh.

“Geez, …… the wild is scary ……. If Noah says it, he must be right. It’s true that I don’t know if I’d be able to handle being taken on an adventurer’s mission all of a sudden and being told that I’m going to kill monsters,……. It’s nice that they set up a practice session beforehand.”

The Limba Forest, west of King’s Landing. It’s probably the first place I set foot in when I took the test. There was hardly any sign of the monsters. So it was a forest managed by the academy. The fact that a section of the forest is owned by the academy means that the forest is probably owned by sorcerers (or adventurers who asked for it?).

That means they are using the vast land for something in the academy when they want to use it. So rich.

“But I’m looking forward to it. I don’t have much chance to fight a monster.”

“Yeah. I’m looking forward to it too.”

“Ha, you’re welcome to have fun, but be careful.”

“What? I mean, it’s what they call aquaculture. Doesn’t seem so dangerous if it’s not a wild monster, does it? We can do it, man!”

“Oh, come on, you’ll get hurt if you lick the monster. How many people do you think are killed by monsters every year? If it weren’t for the adventurers, there would be plenty of villages that would be destroyed by now.”

“I’m sure you’re right though ………… Noah is right. We’ve never had much of a connection with it, so I never really thought about it, but …… whether you can kill it right in front of you is another matter.”

“That’s it. They don’t know how much to take. There are also small fish that form groups and attack all at once. Being careless is fatal, even in aquaculture.”

Nina and Arthur look at each other and shudder lightly.

”No, I don’t want to die like that.”

“Yes, …… but we can’t just rely on you, Noah. Besides, it’s our chance to prove ourselves, Mr. Arthur.”

“That’s right! All eyes have been on Noah lately. Let’s be careful and show them what we’re made of!”

Arthur and Nina pumped their fists in the air. And the voices are all together.

I don’t know if you really understand ….. But in the end, if something happens, I’ll be there to protect you. It’s a good idea to see the power of the two, and there’s no need to show my power here. 

I’m tired of killing monsters, but I’m curious to see how the others do it. It’s getting a little exciting, I guess.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
