21 Twenty-one stories, "Anomalous."

"I have great pleasure to announce to you all today!

in the morning HR.

The Sylphia teacher in charge said that in such a high tension that it was unimaginable from what it normally looked like.

"You all know the Kingsguard Knights and the Zhenghong Knights, right?

The students each shake their heads vertically.

Anyway, no one is a citizen of the Kingdom of Terraria and does not know its Knights.

The Kingsguard Knights are the Knights who escort the royalty of the Kingdom of Terraria.

Its home is here in Mykula, the king's capital.

Meanwhile, the Knights of Zhenghong are a merit-oriented knighthood held by the Duke of Telgande family, whose headquarters is, of course, in the territory of the Duke of Telgande.

Both were famous as Knights who supported the brave during the Wars of the Brave Demons.

"What a recent visit by the Knights of Zhenghong to Wang Capital to conduct joint exercises with the Knights of Kingsguard. And it was chosen as the place - here, Builders School!

After Dr. Sylphia told him so, the classroom quieted down for a moment.

Eventually, however, he begins to leak a little bit of excitement, in turn, from those who understand the teacher's words.

The classroom quickly said, "Oh!" or "Wow!" or "Thank God!" But anyway, it was filled with words that represented joy.

By "big event," Chris was referring to this?

He said it would involve the school, but it is mostly a party to it.

"The exercise is scheduled to take place in ten days. This exercise also includes the purpose of informing Builders School students about knights. So you can take the day off from class and visit as much as you like."

"Let it go, Doctor! Does that give you a chance to talk to the knights?

"Yes. Looks like you can have that kind of time too"

The female student who asked the question is happy to clench her fist.

During the war, the knights were often festived like heroes as part of propaganda. With its influence, the Knights have numerous fans.

Most importantly, the Kingsguard Knights and the Zhenghong Knights actually contributed greatly to the Demon King's Crusade.

I've seen them do it many times on the battlefield, too - but I remember that every member of the regiment was a powerful finger wrestler.

Many knights lost their lives in the war.

Probably do joint practice in school because you want to secure the next generation of knights in the moment.

It's only been six months since the war ended, but it doesn't mean I'm quick.

Now that the Demon King has been crusaded, the next job title to be lit is the Adventurer who handles the Demon King's legacy. A young man who aspires to be a knight must follow a short path of decline. The joint exercise will be a countermeasure, a knight's propaganda campaign.

"Are the Knights of Zhenghong the only ones visiting Wangdu?

That's when Elysia raised her hand and asked the question.

"In addition to the Knights of Zhenghong, Roberto-Tergande, the second son of the Duke of Tergande family, will also visit. We're going to visit the exercise on that day, so maybe we can talk to Roberto."

To Dr. Sylphia's explanation, the hero students looked "Hmm."

The family of heroes belongs to many aristocratic son warrants. Speaking of second sons, Roberto-Tergande is a Duke family person. Maybe he thinks we should use this as an opportunity to tie the edge...

"In conducting this joint exercise, we are going to elect one person from each class, an executive committee member. The difficulty is that, by and large, the upper classmates will do it, so the freshman job will be mostly chore...... if you are selected as an executive committee member, you will be able to see the Knights exercise closer together. Come on, does anybody have a candidate?

Classmates face each other.

It's the mountains I want to raise my hand to, but I guess I'm anxious to serve myself.

Anyway, it is a major event early in school. Many classmates have yet to grasp the characteristics.

"I'll do it"

It was Elisia who told him that in a heartfelt voice.

In her candidacy, the hustle and bustle of the classroom subsides.

Elysia wouldn't have a problem leaving it to me.

There was such air all over the classroom. It is famous that she defeated a school teacher in her entrance exam. She was also admired by the students of general studies in order to maintain a friendly attitude towards the students of general studies, even though she was a further hero.

"Then I ask Mr. Elysia. Quick on the lunch break, we have a committee, so please come to the first meeting room on the third floor of the school building when it's time."

"Okay."

Elisia replies with a clear voice.

But that's when I realized.

Elisia's eyes - stained with boiling hate.

◆

Elysia's condition changed.

That's already visible enough to tell.

Basically, Elisia had a strong impression that she was an honorary student.

It's only natural to say it's still a shallow day, but I've never been out of school before, and I'm bound to be seated five minutes before class starts. It's the type of person who speaks without fear, even in class, if necessary.

She suddenly took a break from school.

I thought so, and I was attending the Executive Committee of the Joint Exercise.

For some reason. Elisia skipped class and started attending the committee only.

Sometimes I go to class, but unlike before, I'm not focused. I didn't say anything at all, and I'm in the mood. "I wasn't listening," he says, without being evil, even if he was nominated as the teacher he saw.

Five days have passed since Elisia's condition changed, and I've noticed that she's moving systematically.

She is bound to attend practical skills classes and special lectures in the Department of Heroes. It's as if you're abandoning seating and trying to build your ability in action efficiently.

Eventually, Elysia's anomaly came to be felt by everyone.

She hasn't spoken to anyone here lately. They refuse to talk.

Even if the classmates who notice the anomaly speak out of concern, it is a stiff of "okay".

While at school, she was thinking of something by herself anyway.

You look impatient.

Not usual.

With a ghostly eye, she's up to something.

But nobody knows what it is. Naturally, there's no reason for me to know.

When the joint exercise approached the next three days - Elysia spoke to me a long time ago.

"Hey, Too Eight. Will you be my special training partner?

For that inquiry, I lurk my eyebrows.

"... that story ended many days ago."

"I just need three days. For a short time, until a joint Knights exercise takes place. That would be nice, wouldn't it?

I sighed at Elisia's words.

"As I said before, the rush..."

- You have to be strong.

Elisia says in a strong tone.

"I don't have any more time. It's forbidden to rush, it's not a situation I can tell you. So help me out."

There was heavy pressure on Elisia's words.

I guess I'm only harshly in control of the tone. But its heart must be not negotiating (...), but following orders (...). She is now somehow swallowing the "shut up and cooperate" dialogue.

"Calm down."

"restless"

"Then at least explain the situation."

With that said, Elysia showed a bare gesture to think for a while,

"... I can't explain"

In response, I sighed.

"Sorry, but I don't have a hobby stepping through visible mines"

When she answered, Elisia revealed her anger for a moment.

Pull the sword out of the sheath of your hips. But I stopped it right there.

"... even if I sell you a fight here, it's the mountain of Sekiyama that will pay you back."

He was going to fight me forcefully in the exercise of his powers.

She stopped it, took her hand off the sheath and left before me.

"Too Eight, are you okay?

Gran, who was anxiously watching from earlier, calls out.

"Oh, I'm fine"

"The Elysian one...... I wonder what's going on. Things have been weird around here lately."

"I care too"

Mize comes nearby and gives her consent to Gran's remarks.

Originally, Elisia had a verse that was burning with strength.

Recently, however, the trend has been particularly noticeable.

Sometimes, no matter what you think, it has something to do with the Knights' joint exercise.

Besides - I'm also concerned about the conversation I had after the duel about the necessity of revenge.

- Do you want me to explore it?

I left the classroom thinking of one woman in the back of my brain.

Fortunately, I get the saying, 'If anything happens, you can always count on me'.

I took a piece of 'newspaper' out of my pocket and put in a contact with my former boss.
