“The extracurricular exercise in the Limba Forest. It’s finally coming up next week.”

Ellis, the Class A teacher, begins to speak so, folding her arms.

“This isn’t a class, it’s an event. It’s an annual event. Think of it as a way to practice your skills before the welcome ceremony. Instead of the wild, it’s a mock drill in which we release our own monsters into the forest and hunt them down. You can think of it as a rehearsal for the adventurer’s mission.”

The extracurricular exercise that had been rumored for some time. It was finally coming up next week.

From the way she said it, it’s probably not a particularly difficult hunt that’s required. The difficulty level is much lowered just because it’s not wild.

Well, I came here to learn how to deal with people, but the rest of the guys don’t have experience fighting against monsters. It’s a valuable experience from their point of view, so I’m not complaining.

“I’m sure very few of you have ever hunted a monster before. You may be familiar with the adventurous Clarice, for example, but fighting monsters is a good experience. You gain that much experience dealing with life. I’m sure you’ll be able to test out the things you can’t do with humans that easily.”

In short, it’s a practice run before the welcome ceremony. It’s a preliminary exercise to gain confidence and experience by hunting low-grade monsters.

“However, monsters are a threat to humans. Even though you’ve been recognized for your magic skills and have passed the test, you’re still freshmen. For this event, there will be a party of three, and each party will be assigned a second-year supervisor to help determine who will take down the monsters and protect them in case of danger. It’s a safety precaution. Do you have any questions?”

After she finishes explaining, Dr. Ellis urges us to ask questions.

Then a man raises his hand.

“–Yes, Mr. Mauro.” “

“Yes. You know …… this is done every year, right?”

“Right. In case you don’t go on an adventurer mission and then suddenly panic against a monster.”

“Is it safe to assume that the monster is at a level that even we can take down the lower level ……?”

“I’m sure that in terms of power, I’m going to have a level of monsters that you guys can handle. …… Just don’t think it’s easy.”

Dr. Ellis’s face turns slightly grim.

“In the last few years, no class has ever done this exercise and all of us have been unharmed. A few people get injured every year. That’s due to carelessness, lack of strength, and a variety of other factors.”

“Injured……”

Mauro’s face pulls up and his throat gurgles.

Even though it’s such an elite school, monsters seem to be scary. Perhaps a lower level monster would be able to handle the power of a first year, but the fact that he’s never fought an actual one makes him afraid.

”I won’t let my guard down, nor will I be too proud. That’s what’s important. That’s all I can say. There are times when you get careless and underestimate your opponent and get injured, and there are also times when your blood is hotter than you thought it would be and you run amok and are surrounded by monsters …… as a result. Anyway, stay calm. Determine the difference between your opponent and your abilities. This is the same thing you’ve been doing in your main opponents’ battles.”

Dr. Ellis huffed and cowered her shoulders.

”– Well, even though I’ve threatened you so far, you can rest assured. We’ve got some excellent restorers here, and so far we haven’t had any deaths. That’s why There’s a supervising student, you know.”

Several students patted their chests at those words.

”I hope you won’t be the first to die. For better or worse, this academy is a meritocracy. You can take care of yourself…… Well, it won’t be as dangerous as it could be with the supervising students.”

Then the briefing was over and the party was announced.

We gather at the party and see each other.

”Okay. I knew these members would be safe!”

“Yes, I wonder if the doctor was watching us?”

“No, it’s a decision based on merit. I don’t think this is the kind of school where you can make decisions based on some haphazard idea like that, right?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Well, I’m sure it is….., well that makes me miserable……”

Arthur utters this in a fading voice.

Oops, I guess I failed at this. If I am indeed the best, Nina is also perfectly capable. If that’s the case, then it’s obvious that Arthur, who was put in to balance it out, will be evaluated.

“…… Well, don’t worry. It’s not just a matter of seeing a few days’ worths of magic, you can’t really know what you’re really capable of unless you’re as penetrating as I am. It’s a good idea to show them what you’re capable of at this exercise or at the welcome party.”

“Well, …………, I guess you’ve come to the same conclusion as I have, after all!”

“Ha, well, when Nina and I are together. Bad, bad.”

“It’s not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you’ll be able to see the difference. It’s a good thing that you’ve been recognized for your talent alone,……. But I won’t give up! We’ll take them down this time and we’ll make it! I’m a fallen family, I knew this would happen! That’s what the Academy is for!”

“Ha-ha, let’s keep it together.”

With renewed enthusiasm, Arthur regained his spirits and slapped both cheeks.

The three of us were at the same party. Although I told Arthur that it was decided on merit, well, I’m sure he’s looking at a certain amount of friendship. The battle is not sweet enough to be able to work together with haphazard members. I’m an adventurer who’s used to fighting monsters as a profession, that’s why I can handle an impromptu party. It’s a terrible thing to ask for that to be a new student.

Nina says as she looks at the party composition paper that was handed out to everyone.

”Let’s see, our supervising student is —- Oh, it’s Theo Hollow from the second year!”

“Seriously?”

“Oh, looks like he is quite famous seeing you two.”

“Yeah, the Hollow family is a pretty well-known family of sorcerers.”

Then, a lot of Arthur comes out.

“Don’t you know the Hollow family? Even I know that, okay?”

“No, you know most everyone. The sorcerer-maniacs.”

“Heh, well. But they’re actually pretty good at witchcraft, you know? He’s as well known as senior Doma during this time!”

“Oh, really?” 

So he’s a rather high-level competitor in this academy…….

I’d like to fight him in person, but I don’t think I’ll get that kind of opportunity in …… this class.

”But wow, …… maybe I’ll get to see the Hollow family’s magic in person ……!”

Arthur’s eyes light up with a flicker.

“I’ll tell you what, when he uses magic, that’s when we screwed up, okay?　That’s not going to happen.”

“Oh, of course, I know it! I just wish I could see it…..”

“Haha, I know. But I want to see what Nina can do.”

“What? Me?”

“The summoning technique …… I can’t use it, and I’ve hardly ever seen it either. I can’t wait to see how well I can fight the monsters.”

“Haha. The exercise is next week, and I’ll be kneading the magic power on Saturday and Sunday, I’ll call a spirit as good as Shi-chan. Be prepared, I might beat them all.”

“I like your confidence. I’m looking forward to it.”

–Night.

It’s a weekend night and I can’t sleep for some reason, so I go out for an evening walk towards the school building.

The night breeze is cool and the moon is beautiful.

When I was in Lowood, I used to walk through the forests and mountains at night like this and look up at the sky. The sky is the same in both the countryside and the royal capital.

I like the silence of the night. I like the quiet night when I can hear only the sound of the wind.

When I proceed north of the school building, I arrived near the underground facility from the other day.

The sign of the magic barrier is still as evil as ever. Is it really just monsters…… and if so, are there any dragon-class monsters sleeping on the lower levels ……? It’s such a tight barrier that makes me think so.

“Oh, a nighttime stroll?”

“Hmm?”

Illuminated by the moon, shadows drift in and out of the sky.

Empty eyes and dark circles under the eyes.

You’re going to be able to find out if you’re going to be able to get a good idea of what you’re looking for.

“You are …… Sailor Yggdrea …… senior, I believe.

“Oh, you remembered. I’m so glad. Mr. Noah Akright.”

Sailor raises the corner of her mouth in a smirk.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
