It was Wade Palmahon, who showed his face during the Gwillow incident, who started the speech as the proceedings began in earnest.
It was only when I saw Jidley and other professors related to the actual war lined up behind him that I could properly understand what the head of the combat department meant.
“This is Wade Palmahon, head professor of Combat Studies, who is responsible for the management and responsibility of the academy classes related to real combat. It is a great honor to hold such an event for allied envoys.”
What Wade said after throwing a rhyme at the beginning of a fairly formal and ceremonial speech was the arrangement of groups and other precautions.
When you enter the dungeon entrance, you will instantly move to a random location in groups.
There is no intervention of fantasy magic, so if you think it is dangerous, use the return scroll that is distributed right away.
The return scroll should always be worn around the waist. This is to set the goal of forcibly returning the other party by tearing the scroll in the event of a fight between the participants, so take care of the disadvantages in case of violation.
It is to show the achievements of the warriors, but there is no intention of holding an event just to show them, so they promise a reasonable reward to those who win the championship by beating the warriors.
Finally, after Wade’s instruction, which explained in a very lengthy way how the first group to occupy the mark in the center of the horizontal dungeon wins, the formation of groups begins, and then the awkwardness of the opening ceremony is finally over, and there is time to look around. has been created
“Hey! Kingdom Knight! Long time no see!”
And in the meantime, I was able to find Etenera, who had been unable to control her affection from the first day.
“It’s only been five days, doesn’t it feel like seeing you in a month?”
“That’s right. It’s really surprising that the classes don’t overlap.”
“Hahaha. You and the Marquis are observing all classes at the academy. Of course, even so, it was terribly out of sync.”
It was possible to run into them at least once on the road, but after coming to the empire, it was really far away and they were entangled in other problems, so they couldn’t. I like him quite a bit because of his overflowing friendliness, but in many ways, it’s a pity.
“You seem to be participating in the survey?”
“Because I’ve seen them like this, they’re as good as they are. Be prepared if you meet them in a dungeon.”
The way he was joking around was full of pleasant playfulness, so I laughed lightly and passed it over.
Considering that all of the people who seemed to be in the same group showed outstanding skills in Gidley’s class, it was not difficult to guess that Etenera’s skills were not inferior to them because of the sparring between Zeke and me. could
Since we couldn’t talk for a long time, we parted ways and looked at others, but the other academy parties were people with whom we hadn’t met each other at all, and the party made up of envoys were people who didn’t have a nice impression.
Even though one of them was a woman, she had eyes that looked more bloody than most men, and it seemed that the delegation party had already entered a strategy meeting around her.
In the end, when our group members gathered together and had a brief self-introduction time without finding anyone who acted noticeably suspicious, I had to get frustrated in a dark feeling in a different way from the morning.
Needless to say, they must have participated by spouting nonsense saying that it was possible enough. It’s a place to see the achievements of the warriors anyway, so they don’t have to step out, the warriors will take care of everything on their own, and they’ve even calculated that their skills aren’t important.
If it was the same as usual, I would have been able to put a double bath together, but absurdly, now I feel like a nobleman.
You’re saying that they’re at least in a state of faith that if they’re a hero, they’ll do that much, right? One guy even mentioned a goddess, so at least the fact that they weren’t the ones who denied and doubted the existence of the hero was the worst, not the worst.
I really want to make sense of this, but that’s the reality.
“I’ll tell you in advance, don’t trust me that I’ll clean up all the shit you’ve built up and move on. The academy didn’t give you expensive escape return books for nothing. You can’t fight. La. I am not responsible even if I die.”
“Aren’t you a warrior? How could you make such an irresponsible statement?”
When the guy with the big nose who said he came from the mountain kingdom shouted with an expression of regret, Zeke answered calmly with his arms crossed.
“A warrior, how can you cut down the threat of the entire kingdom with one knife? Even if you do your best, people who can’t be saved keep coming out from somewhere in the world. I don’t want to get caught up in that and kill hundreds of people at the same time.”
“That, is that what the hero who has to save those who are suffering from the demons will say? Aren’t you ashamed?!”
“Woah. Be careful what you say? There’s an attendant of the Marquis from Ethiel, where the really suffering live.”
I hoped that this skit would end quickly, and Zeke chinned at me, who had just been sitting quietly, and the faces of the three men began to twist subtly. It was even more absurd because it looked like he didn’t know it was real.
“Before talking about those who suffer, should I tell this friend what your country did to Etis-L?
“... This thing I will definitely protest formally.”
“It sucks. Even Siegfried will remember this, guys. I’m a warrior, are you guys a warrior?”
Zeke shook his head as if he had nothing more to say and turned to me.
“Eldmia. You did some adventurer work, right? What were you mainly in charge of?”
The reason I don’t call him younger brother as usual is probably because I care about the people around me. His attitude was also a little more businesslike than usual.
“Fight with skirmishers. That’s probably enough to help today.”
“Enough. Looking at them, it’s obvious they won’t help anything. Let’s struggle together.”
I wanted to tell him that the hard work should be done by the warrior, but I decided to match the rhythm and nodded my head.
It’s really fun right from the start. The delegation doesn’t seem to be a rogue, but in a situation where you have to deal with the cadets, there are only three burdens.
It’s a balance that can be said to be almost malicious... I’m just getting more and more curious about what the Empire and Esmuye are aiming for.
