10 Ten stories: Everyday of the crowd and just a friend

The first lecture to be remembered was to confirm the students' perception of the current situation.

Dr. Sylphia, standing on the stage, explains as she notes polite letters on the blackboard.

"Six months ago, the Fourth Generation Brave Theon-Bail defeated the Demon King, bringing the Fourth Wars of Bravery to an end. But the threat created by the Demon King still remains in this world. Demons, labyrinths, demons… even when the Demon King dies, they continue to cause harm to people, and they are called the legacy of the Demon King."

Demons, labyrinths and demons. That is, the legacy of the Demon King. As long as this exists, there will be no complete peace in the world.

But the real problem, it was difficult to eliminate the Demon King's legacy altogether. The number of demons and labyrinths in particular is high and it is possible to deal with it to some extent, but sooner or later the status quo will be maintained to the fullest. In fact, there were still demons and labyrinths created in World War III.

"The demon king's defeat has weakened them, but it's still definitely a problem to deal with. Last month, also at the eastern end of the Kingdom of Terraria, a massive labyrinth attack focused on adventurers took place.

Now, someone would like to explain the adventurer. "

"Yes."

A silver-haired girl raised her hand, wrapped in a black uniform.

Sure, he's a student who said he was "aspiring to be an adventurer" in his introduction the other day.

"Okay, Mr. Mize. Please."

"Adventurers are people who belong to the Adventurer Alliance and are in a position to be asked to mediate by the Alliance. The beginning was that after the end of the First Wars of the Brave Demons, many people explored the Demon King's dominions and labyrinths, aiming for a thousand gold grabs, and calling them adventurers is considered the origin of the name. Modern adventurers have a store-like side to anything, but some people expect adventurers to deal with the legacy of the Demon King, such as crusading demons, because of past practice"

"That's a great explanation. Thank you. As Mize puts it, adventurers take on anything, depending on the conditions, from cleaning the garden to walking the pet, but the majority of that request involves the legacy of the Demon King, such as crusading the demons. Also, times of need can be counted as a force in line for knights, and in fact, in WWIV, many adventurers went to war at the request of the state."

Dr. Sylphia explains.

It would be intentional that you separated the explanation there. The important thing here is that adventurers can certainly be regarded as a force in line for knights, but they can't replace knights. Anyway, an adventurer is like a mercenary who undertakes anything depending on the reward and other conditions. Even if it's a force for war, it's hard to trust. Even under any circumstances, it is the iron rule to leave it to the knight, not the adventurer, to consolidate internal guardianship, such as the policing of the city. The knight moves with loyalty, not gold, at least physically (...).

"Now can someone please explain to me about the Brave Party that worked in the Fourth Wars of the Brave Demons"

To what Dr. Sylphia said, a blonde boy at the center of the classroom raised his hand.

The fact that he is wearing a white uniform shows that he is a hero. The boy had a confident look on his face.

"Mr. Sieg. Go ahead."

"Yes, Dear Sion-Baile of the fourth generation brave, Sophia-Terraria of the monks (healers), Witch-Dorowell of the wizards (mages), Alan-Byrne of the warriors (warriors). They are now traveling everywhere to commemorate the victory and are turning to say hello to those who built their relationship in the war."

"Exactly. So besides the Brave Party, can you describe those who contributed to the Crusade of the Demon King?

"It's armies and knights from all over the country. In the case of the Kingdom of Terraria, in addition to the Royal Army, the Kingsguard Knights held by the Royal Family and the Zhenghong Knights held by the Duke of Tergande supported the Brave Party."

"So as for the Knights of other countries, do you understand?

"Of another country, is it? It's the..."

Sieg jammed the words there.

The number of Knights active in the war is enormous. In the case of the Kingdom of Terraria, as Sieg said, the Kingsguard Knights and the Zhenghong Knights made remarkable achievements.

Others...... which Knights would have stood out. Reminds me of the sights on the battlefield, blurry.

"Then you, Too Eight. Sieg, please continue."

Suddenly they call me by name, and I marvel inside.

He was judged not to be concentrating on the class because he was thinking. But in fact, because I was thinking according to the content of the class, I had a hard time saying the names of the Knights that I had in mind.

"The Holy Arkedia Kingdom holds, the Silver Knights, the Red Jade Knights, and the Aeon Knights. The Knights of Glory held by the Stanley Empire. Later… The Knights of the Dragon Hunt, held by the Demonic Nation of Farom, also helped the Brave Party."

You didn't think you could answer, Dr. Sylphia turned her eyes only for a moment, but she immediately smiled.

"Correct. I didn't know you knew the Knights of Dragon Hunting, you study a lot. As I'm sure you all know, some demons defied the will of the Demon King and joined hands with humans. The nation they form is called the Demonic Nation and is in friendship with our human nation. They helped the Brave Party during the Great War and contributed to the Demon King's Crusade."

Dr. Sylphia explains.

The Knights of the Dragon Hunt knew well that they had crossed spears once. That was a fierce fight. The Knights of the Demonic Nation, so its commander is naturally a demon, but he may have been stronger than the demon man who was guarding the Demon King's heart.

"Shit."

That's when Sieg, a hero boy who spoke one time ago, pounded his tongue staring at me.

The tongue pounding didn't seem to sound like Dr. Sylphia, and the class goes on without delay.

"From the Kingdom of Terraria, the Kingsguard Knights and the Zhenghong Knights took part in the war, but the activity of the Zhenghong Knights in particular was remarkable.... So many people were saddened when the Knights Commander, Lady Gallia-Espeland, died during the war. We have to tell the story of his accomplishments."

Dr. Sylphia drops her gaze and says:

So a chime rang to mark the end of the class.

"That's it for the first hour. Good luck."

Dr. Sylphia wraps up the class.

By entering the break time, the classmates began the chat distracted.

"Hey."

As I stretched small, a blonde boy in a white uniform approached me.

It's Sieg. He's got three around him, a male student in the hero family.

"Don't get on the diagram."

Sieg says.

Apparently, in my earlier class, he didn't care what I said. Technically, you're angry about it because you've shaped Sieg's ass wipe the way I did.

"You generalists are a fallout who couldn't be a hero. I'm in the same classroom, so I don't think it's reciprocity."

I have a humble grin as Sieg looks down on this one. The three boys students sitting around laughed with the same look.

I remember Chris telling me the day he decided to go to Builders School. She expected that there would probably be a sense of discrimination between the hero and general studies. Apparently, the prediction was brilliantly centered.

At that time, Elysia crossed by Zeke occasionally.

"Elysia would agree, wouldn't she?

To Siege's question, show her the bare gestures that Elisia thinks for a while before answering.

Perhaps so.

To Elysia, who affirmed, Siegs cared, and walked away with a cuckoo grin.

Exchange your gaze with Elisia silently.

Elisia slipped away from her gaze at first sight.

"... what. I didn't know what to say because I didn't know your stance."

"... you mean that. Sorry to bother you."

"Nothing like that."

Elysia says in a sigh mix.

"So, after all, you want to hide your strength?

"No, I don't mean that. I'm not willing to expose myself more than I need to... but I'm not going to tell you that I can't do what I can"

"Well, right. If you want to hide your strengths, you won't defeat teachers or anything on the entrance exam.... Then I should have made it clear earlier that Tweets are stronger than you are."

"... I don't want to stand out."

I say with a bitter smile.

"Tweet. Don't you want to be my special opponent?

"Special training?"

I asked back unexpectedly.

"What is this special training for?

"To be strong, of course."

"What do you do when you get stronger"

"That's... well, a lot. You've never been strong in this world anyway, have you? Even the legacy of the Demon King I was telling you about in class, if we have the strength we need, we, the students, can easily deal with it. Adventurers are basically better off strong."

"... though I think strength to fight only helps in a limited number of situations"

"Still, I want to be strong. I... for that matter, it's like coming to school"

At the time of the Heroics exam and during the introduction, I had a faint feeling, but it seems that Elisia is bound by something called strength. At the earliest possible time, it is not excessive to say that it is obsessive.

I still don't know Elysia very well. If I were to serve as the opponent of the special training, I'm sure that, at the very least, I would know the circumstances. The question is… how does that affect the "crowd routine" I seek.

Maybe...... it won't be a good influence.

Because the very circumstances that Elisia has are probably not "normal".

"Sorry, but I won't"

"Yes.... ok. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm giving up."

"You're giving me up a little more than I thought."

"You kind of predicted it from what happened yesterday. Besides, I'm not a kid enough to push my values on people."

Words are the light, but Elysia had a blatantly depressed look on her face. At the time of the exam, she said she just showed some strength, but Elysia seems to be buying me quite a few arms. I have no regrets about turning down a special training opponent, but I feel a little uncomfortable.

"Can't we just be normal friends?

I asked Elicia.

"I can't be a special training opponent, but I think we can be normal friends. It's not a loss or gain for Elisia, she's just a friend."

Elysia was squeaking with her mouth open.

But eventually he smiles a little.

"... right. Well, let me ask you a favor."

Reach out and shake hands from either side.

After letting go of her hand, Elisia apologized "I'm sorry" in a small voice.

"I think I was in a bit of a hurry. We've only just begun school life."

"I don't know what's going on, but it doesn't mean we need to be strong by tomorrow, does it? Anyway, I can't trust the technology I acquired overnight. No rush."

"Thank you. I'll remember that advice."

Elisia says.

"Hey. I thought you were breastfeeding, Cora"

That's when a big man called out from across the street.

"Gran, are you there?"

"I'm on my way. More than that, Mr. Elysia. If you don't mind, I'll tell my friends..."

"Yeah. Nice to meet you."

Gran was totally in love with Elicia smiling.
