I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

216. Let’s Take a Skill Test (1)

“Everyone gather together. “I have something to say.”

The end of the semester party. The children, who had been playing and chatting with each other, turned their heads all at once to look at me.

Perhaps because they liked my image so much, the children stopped what they were talking about and came up to me.

Feeling like I was a platoon leader, I quietly looked around at the students gathered around me and opened my mouth.

“I plan to do dungeon training during winter vacation.”

“Dungeon training? Like during summer vacation?”

“Okay.”

If you want to make the most of your winter vacation, you have to do it once. Explore dungeons, catch monsters, gain experience, and earn money.

“Um…I want to do it. “I don’t have anything to do when I go back anyway, so I think it would be better to study here with you.”

First, secure the viola.

It was almost a foregone conclusion that Viola would participate. In the first place, it was difficult for him to return to his hometown as he worked with me.

“I, too, will do it…”

Elisha also readily accepted my offer.

“I will follow you too. There are still a lot of things I want to learn.”

“Me too!”

The main couple was safely secured…Who was left? I looked at Martina. If possible, she would like to raise Martina as well, but unfortunately, Martina shook her head at my suggestion.

“It’s an offer that appeals to me, but…Unfortunately, I have to help my family with their work. It’s unfortunate, but I would appreciate it if you could call me again if you have another opportunity.”

There’s nothing you can do about family affairs. Since she was the heir of a high-ranking noble, there was nothing I could do if she interfered with the family’s affairs.

Well then, one wizard is missing. It was really disappointing because wizards, especially excellent wizards, were valuable connections. I guess I should have suggested it to La Perrine as well.

It’s a bit weird because Louis and Shuri are uncomfortable with Laperine. She is also a busy student like Martina.

“John, me? “I am I am I?”

“…You just follow me. I will entrust you with the role of assistant.”

“Wow!”

I couldn’t send Millia directly into battle, and it was obvious that she would become sullen if I didn’t, so I planned to put her in a rear support role with Sif.

It would be best not to let Millia participate at all since her her combat ability is close to 0, but that would be no different from ignoring her.

My conscience was pricked a bit too much to leave Milia lonely, as she hates being alone. She was carrying Sif, a non-combatant, anyway, so adding one more person would not make any difference.

“And Karina. If possible, I would like you to follow along.”

“Do you mean me?”

Karina looked at me with a surprised face at my words. She looked like she had no idea that they would invite her to explore the dungeon.

“Dungeons are places full of unexpected variables. No matter how easy a dungeon seems, if you are not careful, you can lose your life in an instant, so we need insurance.”

“Insurance…?”

“Okay. If you are there when I get seriously injured, at least I won’t die.”

Before Harpas died, I would never have dreamed of such a proposal, but now, with the curse carved into her body her, only the head of Harpas remained and was on display on one side of the wall in my room.

In other words, Karina now has much more freedom of movement than before.

I wanted Karina to participate, at least in order to gain some experience.

“If I can help…”

“Wait, why Karina?”

Leni, who was quietly listening to the story, asked me the reason.

Of course there was a cause.

“I felt it while catching Harpas… But the future will be incomparably more dangerous than now. There is no guarantee that Harpas is the only one that has crossed over right now.”

I spoke slightly incoherently and looked at Leni’s face her.

An expression of understanding to some extent. However, a worry that could not be hidden was flowing from his eyes

“That’s it, if we catch it…”

“We need Karina’s power in times of emergency. There is no guarantee that we will be safe, and whether we like it or not, Karina will be surrounded by the turmoil surrounding this continent.

…Because Karina is a saint.”

Saint.

A being whose very existence is bound to cause trouble.

That’s why she, too, must build up her experience.

“Um…Then I’ll follow you too.”

“…You don’t have to push yourself too hard.”

“Anyway, the people I hired before will handle the work, so wouldn’t it be better for them to follow along with me?”

Is this a big ship?

I nodded with a satisfied smile at Lennie’s unexpected willingness to participate.

“Please take care of me.”

“Hehe, I feel so reassured because I have Lenny and Johan.”

“John! John! “I have a question!”

“Hmm, tell me.”

“So when are you going to the dungeon?”

“That’s a good question, Millia. That will be decided for a week.”

“A week?”

“Yes.”

“I thought you were already prepared.”

“I also thought you would prepare in advance.”

“I’m sorry, but I was fighting on the battlefield not long ago, so I didn’t even care about finding a suitable dungeon. So, I plan to look for it from now on.”

Although we had selected some candidates, we first needed to check whether the dungeon had been explored or not.

Because the original story has been so twisted that the dungeon I had in mind may have already been completely robbed and I might not even be able to get my money’s worth. If that happened, there was absolutely no point in going.

It’s almost like a hidden dungeon, so it’s probably okay.

“Karina. “Is it okay for the students participating in this expedition to sleep at Yeomyeonggwan?”

Karina turned her head for a moment to look at the Dawn Pavilion, then looked at me again and answered.

“Yeomyeonggwan must be crowded.”

“W-Is it okay if I stay at Yeomyeong-gwan?!”

Was he surprised to see his tail her his bristling? Well, staying at Yeomyeong-gwan, the residence of a saint, is not unusual.

It’s easy for me, Mili, and Elisa to get in. The Yeomyeong-gwan is the one with the highest security in this area. So, uninvited guests cannot come in.

“Sure. From what she heard, the dormitory was under construction and she would have to rent an expensive inn.”

“That’s right…”

Viola nodded her head as if she agreed with Karina’s words.

As expected, this part seems to proceed similarly to the original work.

In the original work, there was an event where the main character, who could not stay in the dormitory due to construction during the first year’s winter vacation, had to change accommodations depending on his / her / her likeability / her progress her her her her.

If the affinity with Karina was high, she could have stayed at the Dawn Pavilion.

And…

“I plan to leave for the dungeon exploration in a week, so you can mainly spend your free time in the meantime. If you have any problems, please let me or Karina know… Is there anything you want to ask?”

I looked around at the students.

As expected, there is no one…No, there is?

“Yes, Louis. “What is the question?”

“Is it okay if we spar?”

“Sparring… With whom?”

“I want to try Lord Quartz.”

At those words, I stared into Lewis’s eyes. Eyes full of improvement. In order to become stronger as the main character, he challenges a strong person to spar with him or something like that.

I nodded at his request

Anyway, I had to check how much I had progressed before going to the dungeon.

…No,

“It would be more efficient to have a mock battle when things turn out like this.”

“Yes”

I see confusion on everyone’s faces. It seemed like he was embarrassed. Well, even I would be embarrassed if we were asked to spar with a 1 to 1 majority.

Still, it didn’t take long for the commotion to die down. It seemed like he wasn’t completely oblivious.

But what these kids need now is not a one-on-one sparring.

It’s all sparring disguised as a real fight.

In other words, it could be called raid response training.

The idea was to help them become more adept at dealing with bosses in dungeons.

Normally, it would be almost meaningless to do it to people, but for me, starting in my second year, all the guys that showed up were bosses with whom I had almost no chance of winning one-on-one.

“All of you, we will form teams and conduct a mock battle.”

“Four?”

“Yes… ?”

“A mock battle?”

Karina’s voice is heard from behind.

“Yes.”

One-on-one sparring is meaningless.

This isn’t a game or a cartoon, so what kind of crazy person can write a diary? An honorable fight?

The true fight lies in leadership, multiplication, and politics.

Even in the cartoon Pungdunjudungari liquor is a bonus. Still, it hurts that we almost lost.

Therefore, in real life, one-on-many sparring with strong monsters was much more useful than one-on-one sparring, which had little practical use. Since it’s vacation, you can rent the academy’s outdoor combat training center.

“No matter what, it’s a bit…”

“There are not one or two of us, but four of us?”

“Okay. “The four of you are to fight me.”

“I’ll give it a try.”

Yes, I wanted that attitude.

“It will be a tough fight.”

“I trust that you will take care of it gently.”

Lewis jokingly joked.

“The sparring will be held in two days.”

“Yes!”

I smiled with satisfaction as I listened to Lewis’ energetic answer.

Sounds fun.

That’s how the match between me and the four first-year students came to fruition.
