Then the exercise went well.

From the contact with Huey, Arthur was even more motivated and was getting better and better. Arthur jumped into the crowd of goblins and scrambled around, while Nina and Salamander took care of the rear-firing and crushing of the leaking goblins. Their breathing was beginning to match, and they were beginning to function as a vanguard and rear guard.

On the other hand, I’m keeping an eye out for that as well, hunting goblins that occasionally try to surprise us from our blind spots, while I eliminate another group at once.

The defeat is probably going on at a pretty fast pace.

I don’t know how well the other parties are doing, but I’m sure they’re pretty high up there (Theo Hollow said). I wouldn’t mind going ahead and defeating them all by myself, but I don’t want to put Arthur’s motivation to shame, and I’d feel a little bad about letting Nina’s perfect opportunity for growth slip away.

In the end, the results are announced as a party unit, and it doesn’t make much sense for me to excel personally. Or rather, if I’m serious, it’s too much of a one-sided game (if I annihilate an unlimited number of goblins in one go, there’s no point in doing the exercise, and I feel too sorry for the other students). It’s not a problem for me to prove that I’m the strongest at a welcoming ceremony or something. Over there, it would probably be an individual battle. You’ll be able to show off my magic in the public eye.

–Then it’s better to prioritize the growth of these two people who may continue to work together in the future. It shouldn’t be a bad decision.

It’s a good thing that you’re able to get the best out of them. You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your own personal life. It’s a good thing that they saw me in action and got their bellies rattled early and that the Huey guy unexpectedly challenged me. Besides, I’m wiping out the rest of the pack that the two of them missed. I’m sure I’ll be able to get the top spot in the grades.

I’m sorry for Clarice, who was the first to suggest doing something competitive with me as Van’s apprentice (for instance), but …… well, I can leave her alone.

“Haaaa!”

The goblin in front of me collapses with a thud as Arthur’s commanding voice rings out.

“Sarah, burn it down!”

With a roar, flames erupt from the salamander’s mouth, precisely setting only the goblins on fire.

In the blink of an eye, the herd of four is annihilated.

“Phew…….”

“Arthur, it’s going pretty well, isn’t it?”

“Hey! Thanks for backing up Nina, too.”

Arthur gives a thumbs up.

“It’s a good thing that you don’t have to worry about being caught by surprise anymore. And with Noah in the background, it’s a great relief.”

“I’m sorry Noah, letting us take the lead.”

And Arthur smiles with a grin.

“Don’t worry about it. I’m used to fighting monsters. I just thought it would be more useful for you guys to gain some experience. By the way, are Nina’s spirits okay with it?”

“Hmm? Ah, summoning time? I’m still fine. The act of summoning itself uses the most magic, and I haven’t used any major magic so far, so I saved a lot of energy.”

“Oh, so you’re still in good shape.”

“Yes. There’s still time until the middle, and I have enough left for the second half to use, Sarah!”

I see. Nina says it’s easy, but to begin with, summoning itself is an unusual consumption of magic power. It’s not just the amount of magic that makes a salamander appear in the world…… Not as good as me, but Nina’s amount of magic is unparalleled.

If someone else were to use a summoning technique, it would be impossible for them to keep a spirit in the world for such a long time.

“It’s a bit of a stretch, though, isn’t it? Where are we now?”

Then Theo Hollow answers Arthur’s question.

“We’re in the middle of the forest. We’re a lot closer to the limits of your designated range. We should probably head south soon.”

“Yes, sir! If Huey’s were there, then they’re probably going to be in the designated area with us–“

“Ohhhhhh!

” !?”

A moment later, a shout, followed by a huge noise.

“What, what is that……!?”

“Scream!?”

Nina and Arthur look at me with a grim expression on their faces at the serious human scream, which is probably the first time they’ve heard it.

“Let’s go check…….”

“What, you’re going to the place where we hear the scream?”

“Of course. You can’t ignore it now that you’re aware of it, can you?”

“But you don’t mind if the director students are here, do you? And besides, they’re goblins after all, right? They say people get hurt every year……”

If you’re only looking for grades, that’s a good argument…….

“It’s a monster, anything can happen to it. If the scream is a student and the supervisor can handle it, then so be it. –but what if it’s a contingency? I’m the first to solve it.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Arthur sighs deeply at my statement.

“Damn, you look cold but compassionate.”

“…… It’s not like a sentiment or anything. It’s like a habit from before I started school.”

“?”

Arthur looks at me curiously.

“Anyway, let’s get the hell out of here. There’s nothing to be done if you’re dead.”

“Noah, of course, I’ll be there too……!

“Yeah. But stay alarmed. Be careful. Even for a goblin. If you get in trouble, run.”

Nina nodded quietly.

I run through the forest.

I lead the way, followed by Hollow, Nina, and Arthur.

We scramble through the trees and run straight toward the voices.

After a while, the trees are torn down, opening up a bit of space.

“Hey, what’s this……?”

“The goblin ……, right……?”

“Ugh…………”

“Hey, wait. I’ve got something.”

Theo Hollow holds us back.

Out of the corner of my eye, something is lying on the ground. Something red and black.

The Hollow runs up to the fallen something.

Nina and the others slowly approach the hollow as it looks at it with a grim face.

“…… terrible ……”

“Whoa…….”

Nina and Arthur suppressed their mouths at the horror of the situation.

It was a person.

A large laceration on the upper half of his body, blood pouring out of it unceasingly. Blood is flowing from his mouth, and he coughs as if he is sobbing. He seemed to be still breathing.

“This person is ……?”

“He is a director’s student like me…..” 

“What…… what the hell is going on!? The opponent is a goblin, right!?”

“Arthur. Look around here.”

Arthur gulps and clears his throat.

“Not …… goblin …… or …….”

“At least there’s a monster hanging around down the road that could take out a director’s job.”

“Haha …… You’ve got to be kidding me. ……–this guy is the same guy who directed Huey’s group earlier… …?”

The face was definitely that of the man who was behind Huey when we encountered him earlier.

“You remember it well. That means that …… Huey and his friends may be being chased by the monster that attacked this director’s students.”

“…… seems to be.”

The hollow turned around as the director slowly laid down on the ground.

This one needs to be treated by a recuperate right away. Arthur, can you help me get this thing to the doctor at the rendezvous point?

“Oh, me……!?”

“Yeah, I can’t just leave it like this. If we don’t, the goblins will come to him. And as a director, I can’t just ignore them, even if they are from another party. It’s just a matter of time before you’re alone. Can you ask?”

“…… Got it.”

“Thank you. And Noah.”

Theo Hollow looks at me.

“I’ll be back when I get this thing. Wait for it. Maybe some of the students will come back for a supervisor. Will you stay behind?”

“Okay, sure.”

“Thank God. You’ll be fine without me and Arthur, won’t you?”

“Yeah.”

“Good. Don’t risk it at all. If the monster comes back, run. Is that clear?”

I nodded to the question anyway.

If you take your time like that, the guy ahead of you is definitely going to die.

“–All right, let’s go, Arthur.”

“Yes, yes!”

Having said that, Arthur and Hollow run off.

The monster that injured the director student or …… that wound is definitely not a goblin at least.

“I wonder if he’s okay,”

“Maybe he’ll be okay. The wound is deep, but he was breathing. It’s not like I was chosen from among the sophomores to be a coach.”

Yes, even the director’s students get beaten up by …… what the hell is out there?

“Perhaps the monster down the road is too much for the new students. I can’t say they’ve beaten it. They’re still on the run, or you can go to —-.”

“Ooohhhh!”

A moment later, a scream-like cry reaches my ears clearly.

“That was rather close……!”

I run towards the voice.

“Noah!”

“Probably now they’ll die if they leave ………… without their director students!”

“Uh-huh! I’m going too!”

“Nina you stay ……”

…… No, it’s more dangerous to leave her alone.

“Come with me.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
