Damn it. What kind of mess is this? Why did this happen?

It’s not like Seal Stone is broken. It’s not like another gate appeared.

There are no reports of gate grades being raised in other kennels in the empire!

Kugleng, the teacher who was in charge of teaching Yoram’s second-grade field training, held his head.

The world, which was fine just a moment ago, was dyed bright red.

Smoke and flames rise from everywhere. A huge flame is burning everything down.

“Mr. Kugleng! For now, the 2nd grade evacuation is over!”

“How can I contact support?”

“The Empire’s talented people arrived a little while ago! Response measures will be taken soon!”

“I think it’s going to be hard right now because of that damn fire… !”

We may not know later, but right now we need the Imperial Fire Brigade fighting the fire over there more than people with special abilities.

Firefighting water was sprinkled, and affiliated wizards came forward and poured water again.

No matter how much effort is used, the party leader has no intention of putting out the flames.

It seems like the best thing to do is to contain it so it doesn’t spread further.

“Mr. Kugleng.”

“What happened?”

“They say it is difficult for people with special abilities to enter the workforce right now. The fire is so strong that even the fire brigade cannot enter.”

This is why I want to help put out the fire, even if it means calling in people with special abilities.

However, they are a force that must be able to respond to gates and monsters at any time.

What if we put effort into this for no reason and a large-scale gate incident like the last time occurs?

I can’t compete because of the stamina I’ve exhausted here.

Or, you may compete but be injured or killed in that part.

‘In this case, if my ability was in the flowing water type. It would have been nice if it had at least frozen. Anyway, the students come first before the field… .’

Cougleng looked at the kennel beyond the flames.

To be precise, I thought of the two students who had not yet come out of it.

“The last students to enter are those students, right?”

“Yes. First year, Yurishia. And as expected, a first year student, Deus.”

Then the other teachers let out a sigh.

I am a first year student. And he is a freshman. This school year is still lacking a lot.

Even for the second year students, today was their first field training, so should we add the first year students?

– Well, it’s actually right to be worried. okay. Originally.

“ Student Yurishia is a bit worried… Still, it’ll be okay, right?”

“I think that’s probably true. Honestly, as a cradle teacher, I’m right to be equally concerned… When I think of that student, I keep thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be okay?’ It makes me think.”

Deus. Like Yurishia, she is also a first year student at Cradle. freshman.

The other thing is that I am not worried at all.

Rather, I am secretly looking forward to seeing what kind of performance he will perform this time.

‘Oh, no! You can’t do this. ‘If you’re a teacher, you should definitely be worried!’

‘Wake. I am a cradle teacher. And Deus students are students anyway. ‘I hope nothing happens, what a ridiculous idea!’

Couglendo. And other teachers too. Everyone cautioned themselves.

“It’s scary, but I overcome it. I’m scared, but I keep moving forward. That’s called courage.”

ah. At that moment, a sigh flowed from Yurishia’s lips.

At the same time, beyond the most frightening and terrible memories, other moments come to mind.

His own mother was a quite accomplished warrior.

Although he had no supernatural abilities, he was quite good at magic and swords.

And my mother was brave. I didn’t lose my courage.

I’m sure you were scared too. You must have been scared in front of so many monsters.

I was willing to overcome it just for the sake of my daughter, who was shaking behind me.

“Wait a minute, close your eyes.”

“Glass. Close your eyes for a moment.”

In the past, his mother. And now, Deus.

Overcome fear and cultivate courage only for yourself.

‘… me too.’

I can’t be this scared forever.

I can’t wallow in this fear forever.

… no. no. It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay to struggle with fear.

You must be shaking. It must be scary. You must be afraid. But, you just have to overcome it.

Because that is courage.

‘Like my mother.’

and.

‘Like Deus.’

Follow the starlight. I recall the words of Shabel, whom I met by chance.

And then he looks ahead. My eyes focus on the man who is still standing strong.

One hand holding my hand. He blocks monsters with his other hand.

My star is right here. That is the starlight I will follow.

I bite my lip. Clench your fist. It revives the broken body and mind.

I think I understand now. That this is courage.

―Kwasik!

Another goblin leaves this world due to Deus’s fist.

If they have done this, it is right for them to sense their defeat and run away.

But they showed no signs of doing so. It becomes even more fierce again.

‘It’s a shame.’

Deus sighed deeply inwardly.

Is it difficult? no way. No way. I can only use one hand.

This is just because it’s boring. Tired of repetitive movements.

It is an activity that is of no help. I can’t even exercise.

From my perspective, this level should be considered the same as scooping a spoon and holding a pen.

It would be nice if some other guys showed up, but they’re goblins until the end.

“Deus.”

Just as I was about to leave a fist mark on the skull of a goblin.

Yurishia, who had been cowering behind him until now, steps to the side.

He still looks scared. My breathing is fast and I’m still nervous.

But, it’s different. Yurishia is definitely different from the girl from before.

“From now on. I. I will do it.”

“… Can you do it?”

“Yes. you can do it. I will do it, I will.”

Deus looked at Yurishia for a moment and then lowered his fist.

Then he passed by her and leaned backwards.

“It may be difficult. Or, if you can’t bear it, just tell me. then… .”

“Yes. thank you. Deus. Really, thank you.”

but. At least. At least not for this moment.

I will overcome this. my fears. That nightmare still comes to mind whenever I close my eyes.

Yurishia steps forward. And then I clenched my fist.

Unlike Deus’s, these hands are very small and delicate.

To exaggerate a bit, it feels like my fingers will break if I hit something.

―Kiyaaaa!!

The goblins also get even more crazy now that their opponent has changed.

It must have looked easy as the huge man stepped back and a delicate-looking woman entered.

But the one who rushed forward with great enthusiasm had to pay the price.

-Wow!

‘oh.’

It is a perfect, no-frills salcho from the first bite.

The next one too. And the next one too. vital spot. vital spot. And a critical point.

And now he can even keep his eyes straight open.

It’s not like you just press it with force.

Excellent technique. Fierce eyes that immediately read vulnerabilities.

Crucially, there is even a ‘wild nature’ that even the person himself is not aware of.

Without realizing it, Deus went into spectator mode and even crossed his arms.

Until now, I think that was blocked due to fear.

But not anymore. At least at this moment, the highest point is clearly revealed.

Even if there were stronger monsters here than goblins.

Perhaps Yurishia would have finally overcome it. Deus was sure.

-Whoa! puck!

-Okay! Sigh!

One room, one room. Punching carefully.

Once, once. Let go of all your fears and regrets.

The only thing left to me now is. An oath made by following the starlight.

And a child’s message to his mother who became a star.

‘mom. Me now. I will become stronger. therefore… You no longer have to come to my dreams every night to protect me. I will overcome it. Even from fear. Even in regret. And I’ll move on.’

sorry. Shedding a single tear.

And I love you. Drawing a ray of smile.

―Crrr!

Yurishia crushed the last remaining goblin.

The last fear that was deeply embedded in my heart was also shattered.

*

“Is the fire still far away?!”

“Almost caught everything! Those with special abilities, please enter and stand by!”

“Okay!”

The fire brigade was busy running around and the imperial powers were preparing to enter.

Behind them, Cougleng and other teachers were anxiously awaiting the search.

At this level, it was not a monster attack, but thick smoke and intense heat from a fire.

There is a need to worry about breathing difficulties as a result.

Even if he was Deus, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about that fire.

“Wait! Wait a moment! Something is coming from beyond the flames!”

“Firefighters! Step back now! It could be a monster!”

“Retreat! retreat!! Go away!!”

The front becomes noisy and the Empire’s talented people prepare for battle.

Eventually, beyond the red-hot flames, something huge emerges faintly.

A being that is one head taller than a decent adult male is—

“It’s okay, Yurishia. You can raise your head now.”

While hiding my classmate tightly in my arms. It was a student from the cradle who came out through the fire.

“Deus student! Student Yurishia!”

The teachers of the cradle rush out. And then quickly check his condition.

Traces of scorching or burning appear here and there on the clothes.

In addition to that, the remains of monsters were also buried.

But that was it. Deus was perfectly fine.

Even though I went through that fierce fire. Even though I wasn’t alone.

Rather, it looked like something that would make the fire brigade and the Empire’s superpowers freak out.

“Sorry. teacher. It’s a little late.”

“No! no! I’m so glad, Deus student! You don’t know how worried I was!”

The teachers repeatedly patted Deus on the back and pushed the two students back.

“… .”

However, Deus did not immediately follow the teachers and stood there for a moment.

Beyond the flames, to be exact. I was staring blankly at the gate.

“Deus student?”

“… .”

“Deus student!”

“Ah, yes. Did you call me?”

“Why are you like that? Is there any problem?”

problem. It’s a problem. Deus was troubled for a moment.

If there was such a fuss, I thought the devil would definitely come out of that gate.

But that didn’t happen. The monsters become ferocious, and fire pours down.

That was it. What happened there was the end for those two.

‘There’s something. ‘There’s something strange about ending up like this.’

As Deus, who was used to this kind of development, he couldn’t shake off the feeling of discomfort.
