“Roll to the left, Student Knightley!”

As Knightley threw himself to the left, Waver’s arrow flew like lightning.

The arrow hit the wrist of the troll who was aiming at Knightley with his club, and the club’s trajectory was distorted.

A dull vibration rang out as the ignorant club, roughly made from wood, narrowly missed Knightley and hit the ground.

“Good! Good job, Knightley!”

As I stood blocking the troll’s retreat, I made a hand horn and shouted at Knightley, who was rolling around with his hair all messed up.

“Damn it… !”

Knightley, who had barely stopped rolling, swore and turned the hunting rock in his hand to the side.

The remaining hunting stones she has now include one she is spinning and another dog tied to her waist. The first hunting stone I threw missed completely and disappeared somewhere out there.

The troll, who had arrows stuck all over his body, screamed in anger and pulled out a wooden club.

“Don’t fight on flat ground! Keep moving! Make it move slower!”

“No one can do it if you say it behind their back! Ouch!”

Knightley, who dodged the troll’s subsequent attacks, quickly ran away and disappeared between the thick bushes.

The troll chased after him, pushing and trampling the trees.

“Kegegegegegegeong!!”

Then, as his body kept getting rubbed and frozen by tree branches, the angry troll punched the tree and swung his club at it.

At that time, Knightly appeared from the forest diagonally behind the troll who was making a fuss.

Knightley, with only his upper body sticking out, sent a few hand signals to Waver, who was waiting on the slope on the other side, and Waver nodded and pulled the bowstring.

Several arrows left the bow and hit the back of the troll’s head, causing the troll to turn around, pulling out all the arrows with its hands struggling.

“Here, here!”

The troll, who threw the arrow in his hand to the floor, soon found Waver and ran towards him.

Knightley, who was hiding on the side of the troll’s direction of travel, did not miss the opportunity and swung the hunting stone with all his might.

The hunting dog flew by, grazing right behind the troll’s neck with a gap of a piece of paper, and flew away.

The speed of the troll, which runs in a straight line, is very fast, so if he was going to throw it, he should have aimed a little further forward, but Knightley overlooked it because he had little experience and the situation was urgent.

Still, even though the second attempt failed, the idea was very good.

It’s difficult to handle a head-on fight, but after luring a rather stupid monster into the forest, I use my small body to cut through the bushes and ambush it in a detour.

Lure the friendly troops on the other side and attack from the side while the monster turns its attention to that direction.

If the hunting rock had been thrown properly considering the troll’s running speed, the troll would have fallen over in this game.

Of course, Knightley. He is worthy of being the head of the Academy. Excellent.

Anyway, I need to get some waivers first.

He picked up a rock rolling on the floor and threw it at the troll who was crawling up the slope where Waver was on all fours.

Scream-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A- There was a flying stone that hit the troll right in the anus, causing the troll to tumble down the slope with a bizarre scream.

The troll looked around, rubbing its buttocks with its hands, and when it saw me, it came running towards me again, this time stomping.

If you stab it here, it goes here, and if it stabs you there, it goes there. No matter how stupid it is, it doesn’t matter if it’s that stupid.

As the troll was almost in front of me, I activated my aura.

The troll hit by the auror’s wave is startled and takes a step back, but soon becomes scared and runs back to the other side.

“Knightly! This time, really finish it!”

But how come I can’t see Knightley? Did he hide it in the bushes again?

If you look closely, you can see Knightley hiding there. But maybe I didn’t have enough time to hide, because all my clothes were visible outside the bushes?

The troll, who was looking for something to vent his anger on, saw Knightley’s clothes sticking out and ran towards him.

I was about to yell at him to be careful when I noticed something strange and ended up smiling.

Just as the troll was about to rip off Knightley’s clothes, which were exposed in a gap in the bushes, a shirtless Knightley jumped from the tree to the back of the troll.

Knightley stretched his arms back in the air, turned over and threw the hunting rock with all his might into the legs of the troll who had his back to him.

The hunting stone flew in with a sharp rotation and wrapped around the troll’s leg like a living tentacle, causing both iron balls to cross each other, causing Knightley to fall from his back to the floor and shout.

“That’s it!”

The troll turned at the sound, its legs got entangled, it tilted, and it lost its balance and fell sideways.

A few arrows hit the troll’s wrist while it was trying to tear off the hunting stone. Meanwhile, I quickly ran over and crouched down next to the troll’s head.

“Stay calm.”

The situation ended with the troll rolling over its eyes and fainting when he snapped his fingers and hit a chestnut on its forehead.

“That was great, Student Knightley!”

Waver, who slid down the slope, praised Knightley.

“It was a really brilliant idea! Using a scarecrow is often the method used by hunters, but to think of it during a hunt without any preparation, put it into practice, and succeeded is truly amazing! Especially in this urgent situation when dealing with trolls and such!”

“Thank you, Professor.”

Knightley, who greeted Waver, stared at me as if it was my turn this time.

“Good job, Knightley. Honestly, I didn’t know it would be this bad. After a while, we tried to step forward, but I never thought you would really catch us.”

“Of course. Because I am the head of the academy.”

“Good, good. You’re the best, you.”

When I raised my thumb, Knightley snorted and stroked his hair smugly.

“But won’t you be cold?”

When I gave my top to the troll as a scarecrow and pointed out that I was wearing a thin sleeveless underwear, Knightley blushed slightly and turned around.

“Why are you looking so closely?”

“I didn’t look at it closely, it’s because I was worried.”

“If you’re worried, why don’t you take off your cape?”

“Hey, look at that crap.”

He laughed and took off his cloak, and Knightley snatched it and wrapped it around himself.

“So, what on earth did you do?”

Meanwhile, Waver was looking around at the fallen troll, looked at its forehead and asked me.

“It’s quite difficult to stun this guy.”

“This is the troll’s weakness.”

He bent down and pointed to the troll’s sunken eyebrows.

“If you give an impact here, the bone will shake and you will faint.”

“That’s true even if it’s a dragon, not a troll. The problem is the strength of the impact… .”

“I fed him chestnuts properly.”

“Yes, no problem. Since you are the chief combat officer, you should at least knock out a troll with a single punch.”

As I bent and flicked my middle finger, Waver, who thought I was making a silly joke, chuckled.

“Is it real?”

“Okay. I won’t ask any more questions. Even hunters never tell others the secrets that are passed down in each family.”

Waver turned his attention back to the troll.

“Anyway, if I manage this guy well, I can easily make several carts of recovery potions.”

“Right? Let’s hand it over to the Imperial Security Office. Use field agents. 2The princess will like it.”

“Of course. He is our second-highest commander, so he needs to be seen clearly. That way, graduates will be put in good places here and there.”

Waver began tying the troll’s ankles and wrists with strong iron rope made of woven wire.

Looking at the knot, it was a unique binding method used by Qirana hunters, and could never be undone unless one had considerable strength.

“I will protect this guy. Senior Professor, please request support from the academy. I don’t think the three of us can move it.”

“Okay, okay. Good work. Let’s go, Knightley.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Leaving Waver behind, Knightley and I left the forest side by side and headed towards the academy’s alumni gate.

“What do you think, Knightley? Because I actually fought a monster.”

“I’m out of my mind. Do I really have to do this when I go out into the field?”

“In fact, it is rare to encounter monsters directly.”

“What?!”

Knightley raised his eyes.

“Then why did you make me go through all this trouble?!”

“Honestly, you were thrilled too, right? When the troll falls.”

Knightley kept his mouth shut, wondering if it was true.

“It’s not often you get a chance to come face to face with a troll. And just because you’re an agent doesn’t mean you always bump into people.”

“That’s right… .”

“Today’s experiences will all become your blood and flesh. Well done, Knightley.”

“What… Because I’m the senior.”

Knightley muttered, adjusting the front of his cloak.

“By the way, Professor. I’m curious too, how on earth did you knock out the troll?”

“You hit me right away?”

“Haha… . If you don’t want to say it, don’t.”

Knightley, who, like Waver, took my statement as a joke, asked a different question this time.

“I have another question. The professor was just blocking the path, so why did the troll keep avoiding him and come to the other side? How did you do that?”

“I caused an aura.”

” Come on… ? That thing that only advanced engineers use… ? ha… is it so… .”

Knightley sighed, as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.

“Then why is someone who knows how to stun trolls and create auras with a bamboo stick teaching here? Aren’t you supposed to be at least a principal or doing important work in the imperial castle?”

“Ah, that. Originally, they asked me to become the principal, but I said no. Actually, I had no intention of coming to the academy, but my friend asked me to work here instead of her because she was having a baby, so I came.”

“What… ?”

Knightley looked at me with a truly crazy expression. Actually, even if it were me, I wouldn’t believe it if someone said something like this.

“Let’s say that… Then who is that friend?”

“Sir Linus.”

“Please!”

When the name of Linus, the hero of the continent, came up, Knightley eventually became irritated.

“Please, it’s okay to be serious sometimes!”

“Huh? I’m serious now.”

“How serious is this? It is said that he knocked out a troll with a chestnut, and that he uses Aurors like a high knight, and that such a great person is a professor at the Academy, and he deliberately demoted himself to a professor when he was originally going to be the principal, and even he had no choice but to come as a substitute for a friend who was having a child. They say it’s Sir Linus who killed him, but who would believe him? You have to be playful too!! Why don’t you just say that you were part of the special team that killed the Demon King?”

“Uh, that’s right. That was me.”

“Professor!”

Knightley stamped his feet and got angry.

“Those people all received noble titles and rose to prominence, so why isn’t that the case for you, Professor? That doesn’t make sense!”

“I just didn’t want to get unnecessary attention, so I said no to everything, took the money, and lived in a quiet place. That makes me feel comfortable.”

“So, you could achieve a feat that will go down in history and be guaranteed everything from a hero title to a noble title to an estate, but you turned it all down, right? Just because you don’t want to get attention? Who in the world would believe something like that! That’s crazy!”

“After hearing it, it’s like that again.”

“That’s it!”

Believe it or not, I’m fine with it.

I had just passed through the east gate, greeting the guards, when I noticed something strange.

Several students were hiding in the corner of the building over there, with only their heads exposed and looking this way.

# # # # #

“Wow! What is it?”

“Do you think what Sophie said is true?!”

The students who saw Dian and Knightley just coming through the east gate made a fuss.

Both of them were covered in dirt and leaves, as if they had been rolling around violently on the ground.

Her sweat-soaked hair was sticking to her face, and her clothes were all damp.

Moreover, Knightley is not wearing a top, he is wearing a sleeveless underwear and Professor Dian’s cape is wrapped around his shoulders?!

That’s not enough, my legs are shaking?!?!

Two people, what on earth are you doing in the forest!?!?!?!?!

“Sophie! Sophie! I guess what you said is really true!”

Seeing the very suspicious appearance, the students hurried to find Sophie.

But Hindrasta was nowhere to be seen. Are you sure we were together until just now?
