Vol 2 Chapter 30

Feeling Nauseous

“Huh? The students from Knight Academy will first subjugate a demon by themselves?”

“Yeah, this is the wish of the students of the Knight Academy. They can’t seem to understand the purpose of this joint training with just words.”

Gus explained to Sieg-niichan et al. what happened earlier.

Sieg-niichan and Chris-neechan both looked stunned.

“Haaa~ …So it’s the small pride of a student who has yet to set foot into a battlefield.”

“What in the world are you guys thinking?”

“W-we are the top students of the Knight Academy! Even without the support of Magicians, we will still be able to subjugate a demon!”

Even with Sieg-niichan and Chris-neechan’s criticism, the students of the Knight Academy didn’t adhere to their words and insisted on subjugating a demon by themselves.

“I’m telling you that this is not that kind of training practice!”

“Sieg, you don’t have to say another word. It is as the Prince said. Since they cannot comprehend it with words, they can only experience it.”

“But!”

“The training, this time, is just the first trial. And also, Knights and Swordsmen do not need, nor want the support of Magicians, and Magicians do not want or need the support of Knights a Swordsmen; I see these kinds of situations all the time with new recruits in the army.”

“It certainly does happen often, however…”

“It’s fine. If you think about it, they’re just acting a little hasty. Sometimes, these kinds of measures must be taken.”

“…So what you’re saying that if they experience it while they are still students, there won’t be any trouble when they enter the army.”

“That’s how it is. Besides, s.h.i.+n is also partic.i.p.ating in this training. The worse case scenario probably won’t happen.”

“That is also true.”

Ohhh, Sieg-niichan actually agreed with Chris-neechan.

Although it’s regarding me…

Regardless of how unsatisfied I was with the explanation, for the time being, it was decided that the students of the Knight Academy first will subjugate a demon by themselves.

“On the other hand, the students from the Magic Academy didn’t say boastful things.”

“But there seems to be one unconvinced person.”

Gus said while looking at Maria.

“Wh-what is it?”

“No, I was thinking that maybe Mes.h.i.+na doesn’t understand the purpose of this training.”

“I do understand it. After seeing that kind of situation twice… with just my power alone, without the support of either Knights or Swordsmen, I can’t do anything… Although it’s aggravating.”

“Ah, is that so. Umm, Maria-chan was it? You also saw when s.h.i.+n fought against a devil?”

“Y-yes! I was there to see it!”

“Then, although you’re not satisfied, you do understand. Because you saw s.h.i.+n’s battle.”

“Yes. That kind of thing, only s.h.i.+n is capable of using both magic and swordsmans.h.i.+p.”

“What? Walford can also use a sword?”

“He’s probably not that great at it anyway.”

“After all, he’s just a Magician.”

…Why did I suddenly become a target.

“Muhaha. Well, normally, that would be a proper evaluation.”

“That is something they’ll also understand soon enough. Now then, we can’t just stand here and do nothing forever. It’s time for us to get going.”

Under Chris-neechan’s command, we finally headed off to where the training would take place.

It took so much time just to get ready to set off… I feel really uneasy of what will happen in the near future…

And so, we finally arrived at the forest, and we headed deeper inside.

Since it is difficult to scout deep inside the forest, it is likely that powerful demons reside there. However, our targets for today will be either medium or large sized demons.

While walking, I was using Search Magic, and the deeper we go into the forest, the number of parties lessened.

“What’s the matter, for you to suddenly fall silent.”

“That’s only natural. This will be their first time to fight against a demon, so it would be weird if they’re not nervous.”

“Even s.h.i.+n, when he first fought against a demon, he was probably also nervous, right?”

“…How is it?”

“Ahh, I… have actually already heard about that story from Merlin-sama.”

“I also heard it.”

“Eh? What kind of story is it?”

“…I think it would be better if you guys don’t hear it?”

“Because you will definitely lose your confidence.”

“Since you’ve already said that much, it makes me rather interested!”

“We also want to hear about it. Christina-sama, would you please let us hear it?”

“What about me!?”

“Let me see.”

“Ignored?!”

“Haaa, you’re being annoying. In that case, why don’t you tell it.”

“I intended to anyway… Well, let’s just put that aside. Do you guys know that just recently, s.h.i.+n was living deep inside a forest?”

“Yes. I’ve been there once.”

“We also heard about it…”

“Apparently, in order to live deep inside the forest, one needs to be able to hunt to some extent. Since s.h.i.+n became really proficient at hunting, he was also taught how to subdue demons. And so, after being taught how to use Search Magic, it seems he immediately found a demon.”

“After that, what did s.h.i.+n do?”

“After s.h.i.+n found a demon… without any hesitation, he immediately dashed to where the demon was.”

“Without any hesitation?”

At that time, I only considered how to take it down as soon as possible.

“So s.h.i.+n-kun had that kind of story before we even met him.”

“What kind of story is it? We don’t know about it.”

“Then, I’ll continue telling the story. When s.h.i.+n came face to face with the demon… s.h.i.+n, what kind of demon was it?”

“It was a three meter tall bear with red fur.”

“That is—!”

“No way… A red grizzly…”

“Since I heard it from Merlin-sama, there’s no mistaking it. It was an emergency situation that left even Merlin-sama bewildered. For his first demon subjugation, the opponent was just too extreme… However, that guy…”

After Sieg-niichan said that, he turned and looked at me. And then Chris-neechan took over and began to speak.

“Without any hesitation, s.h.i.+n jumped towards the red grizzly and cut off both of its arms. Then, he beheaded the demon in a blink of an eye.”

“A red grizzly, you say, a demon that even the army would need a while to handle…”

“Wha—! It was cut and its head flew off!?”

“And also… it was subdued not by magic, but with a sword…”

“Although you’re the top student of the Magic Academy, you can also use a sword?”

“Furthermore…”
