by fnovelpia“Wow… Prince Avalon? Who is that? Because I didn’t memorize the name.”
“… Do you really not know?”
“I’m not sure just by hearing the name,”
A trick I learned from Hysterion for a year.
Although she usually looks ordinary and down-to-earth, Ronica can pull off amazing acting whenever she puts her mind to it.
Look.
Chalosi asks nervously.
This is almost a counter-evidence of being deceived.
The instructor, thinking that this could not go on, immediately got to the point.
“Then let me ask you straight. Have you ever met a middle-aged male instructor in a trap pit?”
Perhaps having already thought of an answer, Ronica laid down the iron plate this time and acted flawlessly.
“Instructor?… I’m not sure about that, but I did see a girl and a boy who looked older than us lying down.”
The guy supported his chin with his index finger and raised his head slightly, as if recalling something from the past.
“Then the body in the pit!!… .”
“A corpse? ah! Now that I think about it, there was a blood stain on the floor that looked like it had burst. All the monsters looked real, so I thought it was a trap… Wasn’t it?”
Ronica’s face looks embarrassed.
A slightly trembling voice was standard.
“That… no… … .”
The Chalosi instructor was once again speechless.
Acting is acting, but the excuse was also plausible.
In reality, Instructor McGuird was crushed to death beyond recognition.
Chalosi also realized this and had no choice but to step back.
What can I do if I am an accidental witness?
It’s a pretty good situation.
It would have been difficult to erase suspicion if they simply said they did not know, but if the witness was at the appropriate point of view, it would be difficult to question him with just a badge.
“Ha… I see I’m sorry for holding you back for no reason. Will you keep today’s conversation a secret?”
“… yes? Well, I will.”
After all, he is my disciple.
It was a success in escaping from the main suspects.
“Hehe. I think that’s enough. We decided to talk again later if necessary, but now you want to talk to me.”
As the interrogation ended, the head of the Magnus Training Center came up with a huge figure.
He looks like he’s about 2m tall.
“First. Would you like to shake hands?”
“Ah, yes.”
Because of the height difference, Magnus had to reach down, and Ronica had to raise her arm slightly.
Of course, you don’t shake hands without a reason.
It’s probably to figure out your capabilities.
“You are a 3-star prosecutor. A lot of outstanding talent came in this year.”
“Thank you!”
“And the animal on the shoulder is… It looks small and weak, but seeing as I’m still with you, it looks like it passed the ability test, right?”
“Yes! Black people are geniuses.”
“Yes, yes. That’s enough. Cadet Ronica. I hope you graduate safely from the training center.”
“Yes!”
Formal conversation and greetings.
Unlike Chalosi, the training center director didn’t seem to want to get too involved.
“Then let’s go!”
After saying hello, Ronica left the door and touched the baton with Fiona.
Of course, I didn’t forget to whisper briefly.
‘Fiona. ‘Our absolute secret!’
Fiona tilted her head for a moment, but then went inside at the instructor’s call.
Fiona will soon realize and deny that she doesn’t know.
*
“… do not know… … ”
Chalosi also asked Fiona.
Didn’t you see the instructor in the trap pit?
As you can see, the answer is negative.
He was the type of person whose facial expression was always expressionless, making it difficult to even think of a reaction.
“… Goodbye.”
In the end, Fiona was also let go without any benefit.
As such, Chalosi was unable to obtain any evidence while interviewing a total of 10 people.
A labyrinth case that becomes increasingly more labyrinth.
“Ha… … .”
It was natural to sigh.
Seeing Instructor Chalosi like that, Magnus asked as if he was worried.
“Did you get a feel for it?”
“Phew… I don’t know Honestly, I thought Cadet Ronica would be the strongest, but looking at the reaction, it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.”
“Couldn’t it be smoke?”
“Are you only 13 years old? Besides, you saw it. He was just a 3-star prosecutor.”
“It is by no means a low level… .”
“The previous 1st and 2nd places were very strong. Even number one is already stronger than most warriors. In that sense, number 1 is the closest to the culprit.”
“Then… Prince Avalon said that instructor Tiana fought with a test participant. Isn’t there a possibility of third party intervention?”
“That’s probably not true. This is the only part where instructor Tiana’s and Prince Avalon’s testimony matched.”
Instructor Chalosi summarized the situation.
Exam intervention by instructors McGuird and Tiana.
In the process, Instructor Magnus was killed by an unidentified person.
Perhaps to the contestant.
After that, Instructor Tiana closed her mouth.
Prince Avalon also fainted and belatedly exercised his right to remain silent, saying he was not sure.
It turns out that Ronica, the prime suspect, is only a 3-star prosecutor and reacts with complete ignorance.
Moreover, the labyrinth’s trap collapsed overnight, making it impossible to investigate. This can be seen as having a huge background that is looking after you.
Of course, I saw that Ronica’s recommender was a big man named Hysterion, but he was not very strong with force and there was no way he would care that much about Ronica, who was a commoner.
So the most likely suspect in this case is… .
“As expected, number 1 is the closest to the culprit.”
“Yes. No matter how you look at it, he was too powerful to be called an ordinary child.”
Magnus took a moment to check his cadet papers.
He then opened his mouth while looking through the information on the person who passed the labyrinth test in first place.
“Let’s see… Was his name Medis?”
“Yes. It was an unbelievable talent.”
“Okay. But don’t try to remember too much. He is a person with a big background.”
“… all right. I will do my own research.”
In this way, the suspect in the labyrinth incident was identified as the wrong guy.
Instructor Tiana will now be handed over to the Kingdom’s Civil Service Inspectorate and imprisoned, and Prince Avalon will be disqualified for interfering with the exam.
The case ends here.
This is a matter where the honor of the state is at stake.
It is obvious that the case will be closed in a hurry, even if only to hide their corruption.
Because I couldn’t find proper evidence.
It would be better if the training center director directly complained.
As you can see, Magnus is skeptical.
The case was completely shrouded in mystery.
“Then… Let’s go.”
“Sure.”
Squeak~
Chalosi left the training director’s room and returned to his office.
He touched his forehead and sighed.
“True… It’s an incident that I don’t understand.”
The truth became further and further away.
*
Dinner time.
After completing the interview, Ronica and Fiona entered the spacious one-story building behind the training center.
This was a restaurant.
“What should I eat~”
Evelyn Training Center was unique in that it was only possible to order food other than the basic ration if you paid for dinner only.
It is said that this system was implemented three years ago to increase convenience for trainees… .
To me, it seemed like a system for nobles.
“Negro, what do you want to eat? Pick anything!”
There was nothing bad.
Ronica is one of the richest people who has earned an absurd amount of money.
“Cancan!!”
“Pasta? Is that what you want to eat? Then I’ll order two!! If it’s not enough, tell me more.”
Ronika took out a gold coin from her pocket.
Just the luggage carried on the wagon was hundreds of gold, so there was absolutely no need to worry about money.
Restaurant or store.
You can sweep it up wherever you go.
“… Gold?”
At this time, Fiona looked at me in surprise.
He seemed quite surprised when he casually took out a gold coin from his pocket, something that ordinary people would have to work their entire lives to see.
“Ah! Fiona, choose what you want to eat. I’ll shoot.”
“… … … That’s a burden.”
“Ah~ Fiona is okay. You were my lifesaver who helped me in the labyrinth, right? In return, please continue to eat delicious food with me for dinner from now on. huh? Are you going to listen?”
“… huh… … .”
Ronica persuaded Fiona and ordered several dishes to take a seat at the table.
“Churrp!”
As soon as Ronika brought the food, I gulp down the noodles.
It tastes quite edible.
“Inhale cotton?… A baby animal?… … .”
Fiona looks at me strangely, but it’s a look I’ve been sick of since my Venus days.
I ignored it and emptied the entire pasta bowl.
Please note that growth control does not even control body satiety. So this little body had to consume much more than before.
Slurp!
Likewise, the next bowl was completely emptied and Ronicae ordered additional food to be served.
We were in the midst of such a peaceful meal.
“Hey. Can we sit together?”
A blonde boy approached me.
He was the guy who showed off his badge during the first test and achieved second place in the labyrinth test.
The table Ronica is currently sitting at seats 4.
Including me, there was only one empty seat.
Ronica nodded without thinking.
“Yes. Sit there.”
“Haaam~ Thank you.”
He sat down and brought out a lot of food that looked as luxurious as Ronica’s.
There was no particular conversation.
The guy who finished his meal quickly stood up straight away.
“Go first.”
“You already ate it all?… .”
The guy left a strong first impression and left the restaurant.
For some reason, I felt like we would run into each other often.
*
Dinner time after meal.
At the training center, free training and rest are recommended from 5 to 10 o’clock.
If necessary, you can ask the instructor for additional guidance on the virtues you lack… .
It’s still early.
“Let’s go~”
“Yes!”
Ronica took the wooden sword she was given and headed to the training center.
Next to him was Fiona, holding a small staff.
“Wow~ As expected, the atmosphere at the training center is different.”
“… Everyone who trains.”
As expected from a training center, the training center was unique in scale.
There are a total of 7 training halls here, both large and small, where you can train in various skills such as swordsmanship and magic according to each specialty.
Even if it is dark at night, there is no problem.
A huge magic light installed on the top floor of the training center building softly illuminated the training hall.
The magic streetlights placed along the road were full and overflowing.
Perhaps because of this, more than 100 people were concentrating on training without any problems.
Physical training.
Herbivorous practice.
Practice your feet too.
Interact with your pet.
Hitting a wooden target.
Hitting the scarecrow.
Demonstrate two-handed magic.
Horseback riding posture mana breathing.
And even those who spar with each other and work together.
You can feel the heat just by looking at it.
“Let’s practice in that empty place over there.”
“Yes.”
An empty corner of the training center.
After everyone settled down, Ronica began stretching, and Fiona practiced her skills by radiating mana from her entire body.
Self-training went smoothly. Ronica approached the scarecrow on the outskirts and used a quick sword strike to strike and remove the wooden sword, while Fiona fired a beam of light at a target hanging on a tree.
While watching it, a good idea suddenly occurred to me.
“Kang!! Wow. Kyuukang!”
“Huh? Are you going to rest first? okay! Then I’ll practice a little more before going in.”
I naturally left the training center and entered the shadowy area of the training center building.
There was no one passing by at the time.
◎︎ Use hand drawing.
◎︎ Temporarily block solidarity.
After transforming into a human body, he hid his ears and tail using magic and imitated the uniform of the training camp.
“… hmm. If you do this, no one will recognize you.”
I shifted my gaze to the corner of the training hall.
Ronica trains hard and sweats repeatedly.
A puzzled expression appeared for a moment, but he soon shook his head and devoted himself to training.
So, wouldn’t it be okay if I disguised myself as a trainee at this time and mixed sword skills and taught him.
This body is probably better at teaching than the instructor, and besides, this body is much easier than before and can even correct incorrect posture.
okay.
This body will spar with the sword myself.
Damn it!
I took a powerful step.
But did it only take about 1 minute?
Tup!
“Hang? Who are you? Don’t you walk with your eyes open?”
A big, scary-looking guy bumped into me on purpose and looked down at me, crumpling his face.
What a third-rate extra… .
“What is it? That expression. Do you want to hit me?”
Why is there a fight?
Suddenly, I looked behind me and saw a beautifully dressed girl looking at me.
‘… ‘It’s childish play.’
Doesn’t it look like they came here to play rather than train?
Do you really want to show off to women that much?
Would she take advantage of a man’s love and be treated like a princess?
“Hey. It’s a face you haven’t seen before, but you’re a new member of the 32nd class, right? If you see a senior, shouldn’t you bow closely and say hello? Huh?”
then… .
How should I deal with this guy?
I want to meet my student quickly and teach him how to use a sword.
But there is nothing good about making a fuss. Because I’m not a cadet here.
First of all, should I tolerate it?
“I’m sorry. Since I was wrong, will you please let me go?”
“… her? Look at the way this guy talks. In that case, you politely say that you were wrong, and please forgive me just this once. Try again.”
The guy crossed his arms vigorously.
The type of person who won’t easily back down with words.
… You brought this on yourself.
Hwaaa-
I concentrated my life and made the guy stiff.
“Huh?… .”
As I said before, living is a form of martial arts. A guy like this can make you faint if he wants to.
Whoa!~
I stretched out one hand and brought it up to the guy’s eyes.
Then the wind caressed the guy.
“… … Ahhh!!?”
I can assure you, this guy is young.
Even physically.
Mentally too.
“If you don’t want to be hit, get out. Don’t say it twice.”
The guy, who had become very stiff, sat down and trembled as if his legs had lost strength.
Grumbling.
Oh my.
A girl is looking at me.
The bottom of the delinquent’s uniform is getting wet.
Will I be able to carry my face with me from now on?
This should be enough.
I pass by him-
“Hee profit!! Ah, it’s the devil!!!”
“… … … .”
her.
Is this really all that much fuss about?
Thanks to this, the attention of the training center is focused. It wouldn’t be good for my face to be known like this.
fault!!
He immediately disappeared from the scene.
Rooftop of a low building.
“Phew… I didn’t feel like teaching my student today.”
I took a moment to look at the training facility here.
Ronica was training hard, and the man, tired of his pants, sat down and shivered.
The female cadet behind her frowned as if she was dirty, looked around as if she was looking for someone, and then disappeared into the distance.
And after a while.
“The devil!! What’s going on? Tell me in detail!!”
Instructor Chalosi appeared and interrogated the delinquent.
Judging from the way he was being questioned, it seemed like he was connected to the labyrinth incident.
I sighed while looking at that.
really… .
It’s so hard to teach even one student.
