Haughty walking.
The shine flows through the mane.
‘Walking is such a good thing.’
I feel pretty good right now.
7 times to follow Medis and appear whenever he collects badges, steal them, and destroy them. This is because he persistently harassed the guy and took him for a walk.
The guy I could never jump over in my previous life is struggling in my hands?
This can’t be that refreshing.
It doesn’t matter if it’s petty.
It’s okay as long as I’m happy.
‘Why on earth are you doing this to me?!’
The guy attacked me with all his might, but when he did, I easily subdued him.
Overpowering a young Medice is no task.
‘… … … ‘Where on earth are they following me?’
In the end, the desperate guy quit collecting badges and started looking around to find me.
As I kept him awake like that, it was already night.
So now I’m taking off my handprint and heading back to base. Even though Myorin was thrown away, my disciple would soon be worried.
Wide, tight~
Although it was a dark night, there was no need to worry about the road.
Thanks to my solidarity skills, I arrived right where Ronica was without getting lost.
“Negro! It’s here. Yogi~”
Upon returning to base, Ronica whispers softly.
As I got closer, he smiled brightly and carefully lifted me up.
“Beji!~ Are you giving this to me too?”
For reference, there are ten badges stacked on my back. It was all because of this guy that I came this far by deliberately arrogant walking.
A gift to give to your disciple.
“Sniff~”
Take it.
“Hihi~ Black tsun tsun.”
Tsun tsun?
What does it mean?
Anyway, everything goes smoothly.
They also defended Team 9’s highlands and chased away the dangerous characters Astradic and Medith.
There will probably be no problem with first place.
“Sniff.”
Ronica collected the badge, rubbed her cheek happily, and then placed me on her shoulder.
Take a seat right away.
I looked around.
“Sniff?”
however… .
Something is strange.
Myorin is nowhere to be seen.
Ronica noticed my behavior and told me that Myorin had disappeared at some point.
It was probably summoned by Lapis forcibly.
boy… .
I guess I’m getting spanked again.
“Negro. Our team has occupied a lot of high ground, so we will focus on defense at night. So I have to be on alert at dawn… The nigger is sleeping soundly! I’ll take care of everything.”
“Heungheung.”
As the night got deeper, the forest became so dark that I couldn’t see an inch in front of me.
Now it’s bedtime.
Those who guard the hill sit down.
At the base, we divided up the log cabins.
Vigilant patrol patrols near the base.
Each person spent the night in an unfamiliar environment.
Ronica went to sleep in the treehouse and came out to watch.
As I was meditating, I took a peek at Ronica’s night watch through shared vision from the base.
Nothing special happened.
And so the day of fighting came to an end.
*
“The high ground was lost during the night. I think 3 people were taken prisoner and eliminated. We’re going to get it back, so start with the scout team first.”
In the morning, Team 9 leader Felix explained the situation and gave instructions.
However, the defense team is on guard duty.
The tedious wait begins.
I didn’t really go for a walk today and just rested. Team 9 is already in the lead anyway, and Ronica’s badge means they’re definitely at the top.
Just stay still like this.
“There are not enough people. Since all the surrounding highlands have been occupied, I want two defense team members to come for support!”
However, as the number of occupied hills increased, Ronica joined the support team and became the hill guardian.
Travel for about 40 minutes.
We stood guard again at the high ground.
My partner was a senior from the 31st defense team.
“Is this your first time keeping a notice? Nothing special. You can just stay here too. On the contrary, since there is nothing to worry about, it is okay to play as much as you want.”
“Oh! Senior’s force!!”
Perhaps because of what happened at the base, the 31st cadets treated Ronica comfortably.
Thanks to this, Ronica was able to freely express her desires that she had been wary of but had suppressed.
For example.
“Black Punch!!~ Huh! Innoom!~ You can defeat the elite demon I worked so hard to raise with one blow, Black Demon King. You are strong as expected!!”
It was a somewhat annoying game, with the child holding my hand and role-playing.
… Why am I playing this?
I started to feel strange about something.
“Wow… … … .”
Disciple… .
Look behind you.
Aren’t the 31st cadets looking at you strangely? .
That’s all.
Even the instructor watching the hill a little later is holding his tongue.
Why am I so embarrassed?
You are a disciple who cannot be stopped.
“Hmm~ I’m tired.”
Time passed and the sun reached mid-sky.
Please note that the exam ends at 3 PM. It is said that the remaining time will be spent resting until tomorrow morning to relieve the fatigue of the all-nighter.
In other words, if you last a few more hours, the first battle will be over.
It’s enough if I just keep holding on like this… .
“Huh? There’s someone coming.”
“Oh my, are they enemies? How many people?”
In “… I think there are 2 people.”
“Looks like a reconnaissance team. There’s no need to run away. If you attack, you can defend or… Or, we can catch them by surprise first.”
“Oh. Senior force! You look somewhat skilled.”
“Well, it’s like this.”
31st class guy.
You are the type of person who is weak to praise.
I can’t believe you have no idea that Ronica gave it to you as a courtesy to a senior.
by the way… .
“Huh? That blue hair… It’s Fiona!?”
Coincidentally, the enemy I encountered was Fiona, who was accompanying Ronica.
This guy is a 3-star wizard.
Maybe it’s dangerous.
“Do you know this guy?”
“He’s my friend… I’m really good at using magic. He has the same 3 stars as me.”
“Ugh… 3 star wizard. It might be a little difficult in high altitude warfare. It’s hard to respond even if you just shoot magic from afar.”
Literally.
These two are both prosecutors, and Fiona is a wizard.
Unless Godzilla gives up his advantage and attacks, he has no choice but to be hit from afar.
Plus, the enemies are swordsmen and wizards.
It is a combination that has much better synergy than two swordsmen.
It might be a little difficult to fight.
At that moment, Fiona also looked this way.
“… Ronica. Found.”
“Ugh. Fiona… If you attack me, I will do my best to stop you. Be prepared!!”
“… … Fortune telling… .”
Fiona used a skill.
Ugly.
It’s a dull card. It depicted a girl being eaten by a black devil.
… Is that me?
“Ronika. We promise the following.”
Swish!
Fiona looked at me instead of Ronika for a moment, then turned and walked past Goji.
I realized that I couldn’t win.
Not Ronica, but me.
A fellow cadet from the 32nd class looked at him curiously, but he followed along without even being able to question the four-dimensional Fiona.
“Phew~ I’m glad. I was a little scared what would happen if Fiona attacked.”
“Luckily, it went well. I guess he didn’t intend to attack me because he was my friend.”
“That’s not true… Let’s say so!”
Ronika and the 30th class of cadets took a break again.
Anyway, I don’t even notice it.
We had a peaceful time until the training ended.
“Corolong~”
Same goes for me.
I lay down on my back and took a nap.
When I wake up, it will all be over.
*
BEEEICK!!!!!
Bang!!!~ Paaang!!~~!~!
Whistle sound.
A signal explodes high in the sky.
I opened my eyes to the signal signaling the end of training.
“We’re finally back~ Just have to take the second battle tomorrow and the training will be over!! Now I think I have a good idea of how the training goes.”
Go to base base.
After all Team 9 members and several instructors gathered, they all returned to the rest area where they unpacked their backpacks.
“Everyone, get plenty of rest and prepare in advance for the second battle based on today’s experience. Departure will be early tomorrow morning.”
This is the start of a proper break.
“Wow~ Lying down is so comfortable.”
“Yes.”
Ronica and Fiona, who met again, also lay down in the tent and enjoyed their rest.
“Fiona was on a scouting team?”
“Reconnaissance… Serve attack.”
“Fiona must have moved around a lot. I sat there all day guarding the base. But it was good. The Negro brought me an animal friend!”
“Animal?… .”
The two lay down and chatted about what happened during the battle before falling asleep.
Cool~
It seemed like quite a bit of fatigue had accumulated.
I went out, climbed onto the tent, and looked at the surroundings.
The cadets go to rest one by one.
The sun slowly sets and it becomes quiet.
At this time, the instructors began grading.
“There are few badges collected.”
“There were so many strangely broken badges that I had no choice but to throw them away.”
“… Why? Did you not want to get points?”
It stung for a moment, but the culprit won’t be found out even if they dig it up a hundred days later.
They also shook their heads and moved on.
The following is a summary of cadet scores.
Collect the recovered badges together.
Calculate notice points.
Scoring prisoners.
Compile the scores.
“In the first competition, 9 teams took first place. The leader… Cadet Felice. I think he led the team excellently, perhaps because he was a talented person from the Tower of Magic.”
“No… Rather than that… … .”
While discussing.
Instructor Chalosi expressed his doubts.
“Personal score is 140 points. The team score was 780, resulting in 920 points. I think it’s because of this cadet.”
“Huh. That’s an unrivaled score. What the hell is this… .”
At that time, an instructor said it as if it was no big deal.
“Isn’t it a case where it only happens once? It looks like a genius has arrived in the 32nd class. Otherwise… It may have been to push the badge, but if we unite to question it for no reason, only our side will be in trouble, so let’s just leave it at that.”
“Hmm… I don’t think Cadet Lonica would do that… His skills were also excellent.”
A suspicious look.
Chalosi looked at Ronika’s tent.
Likewise, I also observed his movements from the tent.
Look forward to the 100th day.
Because there’s nothing you can find out.
I collected 20 badges.
If you really think about it, Astradic is at a level that can be done easily. They even stole the badge without appearing in a surprise attack, except for the first time.
It would be very difficult to know the circumstances.
… But the opponent is Chalosi.
Just like during the labyrinth incident, persistent eyes are visible.
“Where is the instructor who guarded Team 9’s base?”
“I am.”
She asked the instructor in charge of Team 9 if he knew how Ronika collected the badges.
The instructor answered, recalling the events of the previous day.
“He was a great cadet. We defeated and even defeated an enemy that was twice as strong as us through strategy.”
“But there are too many badges. That doesn’t explain it.”
“Oh, indeed. I saw the child’s pet go out into the forest alone and come back with a badge in its mouth. There was no fuss about bringing in other animals.”
“Ah… .”
Chalosi then took a step back.
What can we do with strategy and the power of pets?
Even if you ask questions, you won’t find out anything.
Is it because of that?
Okay.
He looked at the tent again.
To be exact, it’s me on top of it.
“Hmm… That little pet has a badge?… … .”
Sigh~
The guy approaches me.
Very suspicious eyes are looking at me.
“Hmm… .”
Chalosi, who was right in front of me, bent his knees and waist to make eye level with me, and I also made eye contact on the tent.
“You are Ronica’s pet. Can I touch you for a moment?”
If it comes out like this… .
I tilted my head, pretending not to notice.
At the same time, I answered with innocent eyes so as not to arouse as much suspicion as possible.
“What?”
“… Ugh!! How cute!… … … Kkkk! Now, excuse me for a moment.”
The guy extends his hand.
It’s probably an attempt to gauge my strength.
I didn’t allow anyone other than my students to do it, but since it’s to clear up doubts, it would be okay at least once.
But I can’t reveal my skills.
It shouldn’t be too weak either.
Because I am a pet that has received dozens of badges by myself.
There will be a need to moderately adjust and deceive.
Wow~
I opened my prayers.
The flow and speed of the mana circuit was controlled.
The mana of several blood vessels was completely blocked.
It will be difficult to recognize the body of the Hwansu anyway, but camouflage is essential just in case.
So, it was adjusted to the level of power of a 3-star climax.
“Hmm? Refreshing mana… Pet created a mana circuit. It’s an amazing spirit creature. No, is it a refund? Cases like this are rare.”
Sigh~ Sigh~
“And… Until it’s soft.”
Casting casting~
“… It’s small and cute.”
“Kyuuk… … .”
What is this guy?
Wasn’t the purpose of measuring me?
“Kang!”
I felt slightly uncomfortable at the touch that didn’t let go easily, so I shook myself off and took a step back.
At that, the guy also backed away.
“Oh. Oh, I’m sorry. Stop without even realizing it… .”
“Kiyaa!!”
“… See you later then.”
At my unpleasant roar, Chalosi looked on in shame and then returned to his original position.
Judging from his reaction, it seemed like he was easily fooled.
If I score high in the next competition like this, it won’t be a problem for my student to take first place.
Now, should I rest for a bit?
Sigh~
I entered the small, open tent entrance.
I went in between Ronica and Fiona who were snoring and lay down on their sides.
“Nose, cologne~~”
*
“Everyone gather!! Move to the next battle location. We will form a new team after we arrive.”
Early moning.
The cadets gathered together with their backpacks on.
“30th Group C, no problem.
“32nd Group A, no problem.”
“31st… … .”
… … … .
… … .
“No power problem.”
“Good. Everyone departs.”
When the instructors finished checking the personnel, the training center leader took the lead and led the team to the next contested area.
“Negro. Do you think the backpack is comfortable?”
“Kiyaang~”
On top of Ronika’s backpack.
I lay down without thinking and felt the blue sky and the occasional breeze.
I feel comfortable.
Eyelids become heavy.
Cologne~
I tried to sleep.
But maybe an hour passed?
Tiring!
◎︎ Malice detection reacts.
I suddenly raised my upper body.
‘… what?’
A faint air current can be felt as you advance through the forest.
A subtle scent of blood that can be felt through the skin.
A somewhat familiar feeling of battlefield.
There is a sense of unpleasant malice.
‘… ‘Something annoying is going to happen.’
The transcendental sense that saved me several times in my past life is speaking.
There’s something here.
I looked around for a moment.
The instructor and cadet, slightly exhausted after one round of training, are silently moving forward.
Chalosi wiggles his fingers and looks at me.
Tsunami is looking at Ronika happily from somewhere.
Even the training center director with a fatherly smile at the front.
Of course, no one noticed.
No, it’s even weirder to notice.
Because there are only a very few sensitive people who can sense things that haven’t even happened based on intuition alone.
People with such abilities are rare even in the Tower.
I’m not sure yet… .
Well, I have no choice but to be more careful.
*
“Are you here…? .”
Death Knight Rauf.
He looked up at the great mountain range.
Paaa~
It took longer than expected because the pendant’s light kept changing, but I finally got there.
It’s probably somewhere on this mountain.
his own daughter.
“… Ronica. I will visit you soon.”
Okay.
I stepped into the beginning of the mountain.
But for some reason, I felt an uneasy feeling.
A premonition that something was happening here seeped into my bones.
“I… I will go to protect you.”
Ronica’s exact location is unknown.
But what’s the big deal about finding treasure?
I will find it even if it means searching through this entire mountain range.
Please stay safe.
Whilick~
He quickly climbed the mountain.
