“We have to prepare quickly. “I will move carefully.”

“How can I help you?”

“I don’t have anything in particular? ah! Do you know anything about the monsters that the subjugation team couldn’t catch? “Honestly, I think you know something.”

Erintina said, crossing her arms in response to her keen guess.

“What exactly do you want to know?”

“There’s no way we wouldn’t encounter such a monster. There’s no way we wouldn’t meet a punitive force. “Shouldn’t we prepare in advance and go?”

“That is correct.”

I understand what Erintina is worried about.

From the moment I heard the reason for the failure, I knew that it was a boss monster.

‘The confusion caused by the regular soldiers didn’t cause any harm, so it’s understandable that the punitive attack didn’t work.’

The punitive force must have attacked the entrance to the contaminated zone, but I think it would be too bad even if they were unlucky.

I had no idea that the land I had chosen was where the boss monster was hiding.

It wasn’t anything special, since it was Jeongbae’s fault that the punitive force failed in any way.

The problem was that the new punitive force that Princess Mona and our leader must succeed.

In order to do so, you must know for sure why the Emperor’s punitive force failed and prepare in advance.

“There’s no way the same situation won’t happen even when we form a punitive force.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. “There is a way.”

How to deal with boss monsters?

We are planning to destroy the hatchery and have captured two boss-level monsters.

I know the perfect way to prepare for such a situation.

“There is? really?”

I am embarrassed to hear that I actually have the answer after asking the question.

“Why are you surprised when I asked you to tell me?”

“I didn’t know you really knew. let me know!”

How to deal with boss monsters.

It’s so obvious that it hurts to say it, but it takes SSR characters.

However, if you bring soldiers under your direct command to the princess’s punitive force, you will be attacked for using the soldiers for personal matters.

So the method I came up with was this.

“Academy student.”

“student?”

“Uh, we’re collaborating with the academy and taking the kids to the punitive force.”

“Nonsense!”

As soon as I say it, a rebuttal comes out.

“Why doesn’t it make sense? It will be a good experience for the students, and it will be beneficial because they will be able to build performance.”

“Don’t play around. “I’m serious.”

He thought what I was saying was so unrealistic that he even asked me if I was joking.

“I’m not kidding.”

“You crazy guy, that has to be a joke!! How long has it been since the punitive force returned after failing miserably? “There is no way you would send your children to such a dangerous place.”

Of course, the dean will not easily accept my proposal.

It would be more beneficial for students not to get into trouble than to join the punitive force and grow.

But I was confident that I would receive cooperation.

“I will try to get your cooperation. “That’s fine then.”

“If you bring up something like that for no reason, your relationship with the dean could get worse. don’t do it.”

The only problem with my plan was that the punitive force failed too excessively.

“Are you going to start from the tail without even trying?”

“It’s foolish to do something reckless that you know won’t work.”

“It wouldn’t be stupid. “Did you know that the students who moved up to the highest grade this time are particularly geniuses?”

“You know because you’re famous.”

There was even talk that we might be able to surpass the golden generation.

This is the aftermath of a 100-draw series.

As I decided to change my sponsorship method, there was no longer any reason to hesitate in selecting SSR.

‘You can’t keep increasing your SSR by summoning it from time to time. ‘The longer we delay raising children, the greater the burden the children have to bear.’

Therefore, SSR, which had been summoned in large numbers, needed to make arrangements for growth.

And I am confident that the punitive force will be the perfect environment to raise them.

“I’ve already surpassed the level where I can grow any further through academy classes. “Kids want to grow up, and Pursuit will be a debut stage that they will like.”

“You’re a minor. And what if you get hurt? No, if you die, who will take responsibility for it?”

“There’s no way they’re going to die.”

The SSR character’s talent is too great to die from something like that.

I can’t because I might die?

If kids hear that now, their pride will probably be hurt.

They are not children who lack skills to the point where they are looked down on by others.

“You know that the Golden Generation flies under Thalia’s direct command. “There are so many genius kids that some even say they might surpass the golden generation, so why would they die?”

Plus, all those geniuses are the same age.

It is a time when there is a lot of interest in growth and a sense of competition.

“Probably, as soon as an announcement is made that applicants are being accepted, people will flock in droves.”

“The dean won’t give permission. “What is the use of students flocking to the school if the dean is against it?”

“If you’re going to take the kids, it can’t end with just ‘I want to do it.’”

It will make you think that you have to do it.

I had the stuff to make that possible.

“We will give gifts to students who participated in the punitive force and made a contribution.”

“gift? Could it be…that?”

Erintina figured it out right away even if I didn’t explain it in detail.

“That’s right, what you think.”

Unique equipment.

It’s past time to sell it to kids for money.

It was no longer an urgent need for money.

So, I planned to use it as a bait product to encourage participation.

Of course, I plan to put the bait product on the condition that I ‘do my best’ so that it can go to its owner.

‘Because there is no way an ordinary awakened person other than that many SSRs can contribute.’

If an ordinary awakened person made a contribution, I planned to prepare some suitable items to give to him.

If you tell Erintina about that, she will be able to get it for you through the auction.

“What do you think? Do you think this can’t be done?”

“…No, it will definitely happen. But it’s a waste.”

Erintina thought that it was a waste to rely solely on the unique equipment on the success of the subjugation force.

“Besides, Princess Mona won’t like the idea of attracting academy students. Princess Mona will be criticized just for making such a suggestion. “The value of your name is automatically increasing even if you just stay still, so why would you want to come out and get talked about?”

Of course, Princess Mona may not like it.

“If they weren’t there, the subjugation would fail, wouldn’t it be the same for Princess Mona?”

“!!”

Even if Princess Mona were to personally join the subjugation team and deal with the boss monster, she was not sure whether she would succeed or not.

However, Erintina seems to have had the thought that, unique to nobles, ‘I am different’.

“Are we failing??”

He says ridiculous things, as if he thinks I’m a prophet.

“Who said they failed?”

“I told you you would fail first! Why are you acting like a fool? Tell me straight! Are you really failing?”

“No, I am not a prophet.”

Erintina’s misunderstanding deepens when she says no.

“It seems like a real failure. If you take students with you, will you be successful? Then, we have no choice but to move the students somehow…”

“Are you listening to me?”

“I had no idea this year’s top year at the Academy would be so great. “I don’t think it’s a bad idea to invest with the concept of building a relationship in advance.”

“I can’t hear you.”

As if she had finished organizing her thoughts, Erintina finally looked at me and said.

“If a student dies after being taken to a punitive force, it will be a pain in the ass. You know that the Empire is sensitive to protecting minor awakened people. It could be Princess Mona’s weakness. “But you’re saying it’s right for you to take the student with you?”

Still, should I take him?

“Yes. If you really wanted to protect the children in the first place, there shouldn’t have been a training session. You know that kids go to polluted areas every vacation, right? “What is the difference between that and subjugation?”

Of course, it makes no sense to compare practical training and subjugation because the seniors protect the students as much as possible by treating them similar to porters when they go out for practical training.

“Is there anything I can do to help convince the dean? “I’m sorry for leaving everything to you.”

“It’s okay, it’s not my job to persuade the dean anyway.”

It was the students’ job, not mine, to persuade the dean to allow them to join our punitive force.

“??”

“I’m going to spread rumors about the punitive force to the students.”

The children themselves have to put pressure on the dean that they want to go.

Then, the dean will have no choice but to follow the students’ opinions.

‘You can’t insist on protecting your own safety when you have students who want to grow. ‘I’m not the type of person to do that in the first place.’

No matter how hard I try to persuade them, there is no way more effective than getting students to take action themselves.

“… Your cunning is amazing. “I never even thought about taking advantage of students.”

“Because it’s a proposal that a dean wouldn’t be crazy enough to accept.”

That was the only way to get permission from the dean, who would not give permission for his own safety.

This means creating public opinion to allow students to come forward and do it themselves.

Due to the failure of the punitive force, the political world was in chaos for a while.

“As I watched the punitive force return after failing this time, I thought that Commander Thalia is not called a hero for nothing.”

Everyone, whether they were involved in the punitive force or not, was greatly shocked by the failure of the punitive force.

In addition, there was a reevaluation of Thalia, who had been protecting the front lines alone for a long time.

“That’s right.”

“Not everyone can be called a hero. Commander Thalia deserves it.”

“I think everyone moved too hastily out of a desire to make a name for themselves.”

“The fact that we thought too lightly about monsters was also a factor in our failure. “Commander Thalia said he was good at blocking monsters, so other people were arrogant and thought it was possible.”

In fact, even mentioning the punitive force was like spitting in my face.

Nevertheless, there was one reason why they were talking about this.

“If I send him a gift now, will he accept it?”

“He’s someone who doesn’t like that kind of thing.”

The nobles around him turned to look at the answer as if they knew the result without looking at it.

“…Have you tried it already?”

“Keuhum!”

“Huh!! “It’s ridiculous.”

“Now those who want to do him good are lining up! In reality, no one has succeeded. “Is there anyone who doesn’t know that the commander is strict?”

The fall of Prince I and Princess Mona’s dominance.

The movements of the nobles had no choice but to become busier.

I had to abandon the ship that had holes, find a new ship that was strong enough to sail, and transfer to it.
