by adminNot long after Professor Caria’s morning assembly ended, the smartphone I had in my pocket rang.
「Information: ‘Han Se-hee’ invited ‘Seong Yu-jin’, ‘Hermod Beowulf’, and ‘Miguel Loenzo’.」
It was an invitation notification for a group chat room.
Judging from the name ‘Team 14 Group Chat Room’ and the composition of the number of people invited, it appears to be a communication channel for group members who will practice dungeon strategy together.
「Han Se-hee: Hello. We have created a group chat room for group 14 dungeon strategy practice!”
「Han Se-hee: We need to get to know each other’s skills and specialties, so how about we meet at the nearby first training center?」
Han Se-hee announced the opening of a chat room and suggested that we meet at the first training center to get to know each other.
There was no particular reason to refuse. As I moved my finger to write a reply, other group members’ chats came up at a similar speed.
「Miguel Loenzo: I understand. “I’ll go to the first training center now.”
「Seong Yujin: Confirmed. “Let’s meet at Training Center 1.”
“Hermod Beowulf: Then, let me buy some snacks to eat while we talk!”
The first training center is located within the education district where the learning center is located.
Perhaps Han Se-hee also thought about that and suggested that we meet at the first training center shortly after the assembly was over.
Is it because Hermod said he would bring snacks? I also felt embarrassed to go there empty-handed.
We’re going to have quite a bit of conversation, so let’s buy some drinks.
As I was about to shake my head and walk to a nearby convenience store, I suddenly remembered something strange.
‘How did you find my contact information?’
I checked the contact information on my smartphone, but all I could see was a blank screen with a few names missing.
Among them, only the contact information of Seria Alfheim and Cheon Yu-hwa, who had previously exchanged contact information for the same cadet, remained.
Han Se-hee invited me, so she must have my contact information… .
“Han Se-hee: Oh, by the way, I received Seong Yu-jin’s contact information from Cheon Yu-hwa.”
In the end, I couldn’t overcome my curiosity and asked in the chat room, and Han Se-hee kindly answered.
By the way, since she received contact information directly from Cheon Yu-hwa, it seems that Han Se-hee had some kind of friendship with Cheon Yu-hwa.
‘The problem is that they all have names I can’t remember.’
Although I had memorized the names of most of the main and supporting characters who appeared in the main story of , the names of the members of Group 14 that I was assigned to were all names I had never heard of before.
Hermod is excluded. In the first place, he didn’t even want to know.
‘it will work out somehow.’
Dungeon strategy practice, especially the dungeon strategy practice in the first semester of the first year, is very easy.
Even if they did not have the weight of a leading or supporting role, there is no need to doubt or worry about their level, as they are all talented people who took Eden’s entrance exam and proudly entered the school.
I walked towards the convenience store, wondering what kind of drink I should buy.
.
.
.
“I didn’t know what you would like, so I just bought banana milk.”
“Oh!”
When I arrived at the first training center, what should I say? The scenery unfolded as if I was watching a university MT.
The difference from university MT is that there is banana milk instead of alcohol and bread and snacks instead of snacks.
Can I do this? A thought crossed my mind for a moment.
And Miguel Loenzo, who read my intention, burst into laughter.
He was a cadet with a large stature and dark brown skin that made him think of a martial arts athlete.
“Rather than just talking about work, it’s better to eat and drink like this, right?”
“That’s true, but… .”
“And you bought the banana milk anyway. What is it? In Korea, there is a saying that even Mt. Geumgang is a beautiful sight after a meal?”
Miguel Loenzo ended his speech by saying, “I’m from Brazil, so I don’t know what kind of mountain Mt. Geumgang is,” and he tore off a piece of bread that was sitting in front of him and popped it into his mouth.
Well, that’s true. Since you already bought it, all you have to do is enjoy it, talk about it, and clean up after yourself.
Because I also prefer a comfortable and noisy atmosphere rather than a rigid atmosphere.
As we naturally sat down next to Miguel Loenzo, Han Se-hee opened her mouth after confirming that everyone had arrived.
“First, let’s each introduce ourselves!”
Her shoulder-length hair shook as she nodded.
Should I say that his face has a puppy-like look? It was a little sharper than that and looked like a cross between a wolf and a dog.
Seeing his cheerful voice, I thought he had a lively and bright personality.
“My name is Han Se-hee, as you may have seen in the chat room. I’m majoring in magic and I don’t really have any natural mysticism.”
After Han Se-hee’s neat self-introduction, each person began to introduce themselves without any pressure.
“Hermod Beowulf. I am an exploration major who was beaten like a dog by Cadet Seong Yu-jin the day before. Mystery is a detection and movement type, and its main weapon is a dagger.”
It was a self-introduction he gave as if he wanted me to listen, but as Miguel introduced himself, his subtle checks were naturally covered.
“Miguel Loenzo. He specializes in martial arts and possesses the mystique of fighting.”
His physique certainly seemed to emphasize standard strength.
If Cheon Yu-hwa’s strength is unmatched for his physique, should we say that this one has a body that has been trained as a living being?
Then it was my turn to introduce myself.
“This is Seong Yu-jin. He mainly deals with barrier techniques, and is capable of most close combat and long-distance combat, including combat support.”
After I finished introducing myself, Han Se-hee clapped her hands and led the mood.
“First, let’s talk while eating snacks and banana milk! Because we have a lot of time!”
As if Miguel Loenzo had been waiting for those words, he drank banana milk through a straw and picked up a piece of bread.
It looked so natural that I also helped out.
The chocolate conch bread looked delicious so I picked one up. It was sweet and full of rich chocolate.
“The first thing to decide is the team leader, that is, the strategy leader.”
“Wouldn’t Seong Yu-jin just do it? Good skills too.”
Miguel Loenzo, who was chewing bread, looked at me and said.
I was embarrassed for a moment, but Han Se-hee nodded before I had time to reply.
“Obviously, barrier techniques are specialized for combat assistance. As for the skills, the sparring that took place yesterday… Huh! Anyway, I don’t think it’s bad.”
Han Se-hee, who was about to talk about the incident of Hermod’s true education that had happened the previous day, quickly changed her focus.
Finally, the gaze turned to Hermod, who remained silent, but he too only nodded as if there were no disagreements.
By unanimous consent, I became the team leader. It was burdensome, but honestly, I thought it wouldn’t be that bad.
‘It would be a good idea to widen the detection barrier range a little more than usual.’
If you unfold the detection barrier, you can check in real time what is happening inside the barrier.
Even if the scenery is not in your field of vision, you can accurately understand the situation and give instructions.
As a bonus, if the battle takes place inside the barrier, I can provide direct support in case of an emergency, so I couldn’t think of anyone better suited than me.
“Then, I will be the leader of this dungeon strategy practice.”
Although there was no particular story to tell, there was a lot of applause.
I felt good on the inside, so I smiled a little, quenched my thirst with banana milk, and started preparing in earnest.
“First of all, the terrain of the dungeon we were assigned is a swamp.”
“Oh, that’s right. A fight like mine where you get close and hit with your body is at a disadvantage.”
Miguel frowned and grumbled.
Even if there is no particular danger, the swamp itself can be a threat and a nuisance.
It is natural for close combat hunters, who must stand on solid ground and apply force to their every move, to avoid it.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand his feelings, but there was no need to understand them.
From the moment I was assigned the swamp dungeon, I had already found a way to solve that problem.
“I will solve that part.”
“Solved?”
I laughed off the looks of the party members who were starting to look at me with expressions asking if that was possible, and created a barrier.
A barrier containing magical power and beginning to emit a soft blue light appeared at a height of about 1 meter from the ground.
“Go up.”
“Uhm, okay.”
Miguel, who had been sitting, stood up with a suspicious expression. He took long strides in front of the barrier and jumped up.
fault-.
“… Oh?”
And his leap ended with my barrier touching Miguel’s flying leg.
His jumping feet fell again and the ground he landed on was not the floor of the first training center.
“I will create a foothold with my barrier. This way, it is possible to overcome the swamp terrain problem.”
Miguel bounced his toes a few times, as if he was amazed by the barrier I had created, and then started jumping around.
Seeing that, Han Se-hee seemed curious as well and climbed up onto the barrier.
“Wow, that’s fascinating. I didn’t know something like this was possible with barrier techniques.”
“That’s right. Seeing that it stays fine even after running around a lot, it seems to be quite sturdy.”
After that, the meeting proceeded smoothly.
I am in charge of understanding the battlefield by creating scaffolding and detecting barriers, while Miguel and Hermod are in charge of the front line.
Han Se-hee decided to go to the rear and provide support fire with me, or take charge of supporting the front line in case of emergency.
“Let’s end today’s meeting here and prepare to conquer the dungeon. Don’t forget to take care of your condition.”
The meeting ended successfully in a warm atmosphere.
Friday afternoon through Saturday and Sunday.
Just like the weekend always is. Time passed quickly, and Monday morning of the third week was quickly approaching.
