2nd Round Villain

183 – Crew Meeting – 2

It’s obvious, but the princess and Aru had no knowledge of cleaning. It’s not awkward. Because they had never done cleaning in their entire lives.

At least Albrecht, who had a good head, was clumsy. The real problem was Aru.

“Woong-wong-wong!”

Udang-tang-!

That son of a b*tch! Maybe it’s because my body is full of strength, why is the furniture flying while I’m mopping?

It was only when the warrior Frey came that the cleaning was properly carried out. She was surprisingly good at cleaning and tidying up. When asked why, he replied that he used to clean up his things since he was a child.

The two escort warriors couldn’t even get to Crusil. Because I didn’t allow it.

Both of them resisted at first, but the commander of the Imperial Knights couldn’t move at Albrecht’s command. Liliad, the greatest sword in the world, was also with me and Aru, so I helplessly scratched the back of my neck. It seems that he has understood Aru’s power to some extent.

While they painstakingly swept and discarded, I filled out Albrecht’s employment papers.

Thanks to Frey alone serving more than two people, when Maria came, Crusil was as clean as ever. He patted Frey’s head in praise.

“Ugh… !?”

Frey trembled as if electrocuted. Aru growled, asking why he wasn’t being petted. Albrecht let out a graceful laugh when he saw us like that.

A long desk and several chairs were placed in the middle of the crew room. It’s a fully fledged meeting room.

I told the crew members to sit in a seat other than the seat of honor. Me too.

The reason for leaving the honorary seat is simple. Because there are people to sit on. That person is… .

“… There are precious people. This is Beatrice, the teacher at Eden Academy.”

Beatrice Constantino, the teacher in charge of our Magic Crew. He is one of the few sword masters on the continent, and an absolute strongman who uses divine power and magic at the same time.

It seems that she arrived at the door. The first thing that followed was the gasps of the four escort warriors.

“… ! Other than the Paladins of the Holy Church, Celt and Emelia. Please take good care of our saintess!”

“Now, please take care of me!”

The two paladins felt Beatrice’s prayer and seemed quite surprised. The alluring woman’s voice said, ‘A true iron-blooded teacher… ‘ he muttered. The one who reacted the most violently was Albrecht’s escort, the commander of the Imperial Knights.

“you… ! How are you here!”

“You are the commander of the knights of the imperial family. I’ve come and gone and seen you several times. But why is the knight commander here? Your Highness is not a crew member of this crew.”

“Why do you want to enter this room? What does it have to do with this crew?”

It just came to her mind, and Beatrice had heard that a few years ago, the head of the imperial knights had beaten her with sparring when he behaved rudely in class. It seems that it was an incident that resonated with the iron-blooded teacher’s reputation throughout the continent.

It seems natural to me. Disrupting her class in front of Beatrice, who is living her life thoroughly enough to even be named the first female paladin at one time? unless you want to die I like to joke around, so I don’t do it either.

First, I have to intervene. If you leave it as it is, it could spread into a big fire.

“teacher! Come in here! Because Your Highness has become one of our crew members, and the Knight Commander is here!”

He waved his hand through the crack in the door. Beatrice explained to the knight commander that she was the instructor in charge of this crew, then briefly bowed her head and went inside.

Frey and Maria greeted Beatrice with polite manners. Aru, who has no manners, and Albrecht, whose status itself is so noble, greeted lightly. Beatrice was not displeased.

“Please sit here.”

I escorted Beatrice to the table of honor. Beatrice sat down skillfully and opened her mouth.

“The reason I called Your Highness and you guys here today is for the midterm exam.”

This is Beatrice, an 18-year-old teacher. You will also have quite a bit of crew management experience.

“As you all know, there will be midterm exams in a month. And the midterm exam… Of course, there will be evaluations by each of you, but there are also evaluations by ‘group’ unit.”

“A group evaluation?”

“Yes, and most of the group evaluations are grouped by crew. The practical midterm exam is conducted in a way where students hunt monsters in the Rakhst Mountains. Then what will the students who are released in the mountains with no connection do? Naturally, they form a group with each other’s backs. The group may be friends, but it is usually a crew.”

This is also the reason why I chose Beatrice as the crew teacher instead of Nioh Yohan. Of course, if you look at PE class, Yohan looks like a veteran teacher, and in reality he is, but he doesn’t have the ‘calm reassurance’ like Beatrice.

“The purpose of a crew is to share each other’s knowledge and know-how and improve their skills, but it is just as important to get a high score in the evaluation. Evaluation soon becomes reputation, and the higher the reputation, the more outstanding students will seek it, and the higher quality knowledge will be shared. It’s a virtuous cycle. In this way, ‘Pantera’, which everyone is familiar with, became the best crew on the continent.”

“Then what are we going to discuss?”

“First of all, our crew… Everyone is familiar with it, but the level of the members is at a level where you can be proud of being the best in the world. From the church’s saintess to the princess, from the continent’s hero to Aru and Evans. The only thing lacking is the number of people in the crew, but in fact, if each of you plays your role properly, the difference in number will not be an obstacle.”

“What if?”

“This is what needs to be discussed. How can I get the most out of my midterm exam? In other words, how to catch as many high-ranking monsters as possible.”

“Woof woof!”

Indeed, it is Beatrice. She laid out the gist of the test simply and concisely. Aru chimed in with a face that did not understand anything.

It was Albrecht who was squatting in the corner who gave his opinion next. It was very uncomfortable to see him bent at the knees with his bare feet on the chair, but he didn’t bother pointing it out because his bare feet were washed and white.

“In short, aren’t we a small elite?”

“Your Highness, do you have something to say?”

“It would be unreasonable for us, as a small group, to overwhelm other crews with our quantity. That’s why you can’t just chase small fish to catch 100 fish per person. Besides, finding the Witchbeast won’t be that easy.”

“then?”

“It is wise to take advantage of the superior strength of the personnel and hunt down ‘high-level’ monsters as much as possible. Rather than focusing on quantity, we focus on strong demons. It’s impossible to be the original woman, but aren’t each of you at a level where you can claim to be one hundred per cent?”

It’s a hundred per day. what kind of embarrassing words Aru and I are one thousand… No, it’s all cognitive.

“Wait, there are more things to consider.”

Frey intervened in the discussion, raising her hand with difficulty. She looked at me for a moment and opened her mouth.

“The midterm exam is not just a place where battles with monsters take place. The same students should also be vigilant. Students from other crews may attack us to covet our achievements, or just to drop us.”

“On the other hand, isn’t it something we can attack?”

“oh? Your Highness, do you have a good head? Are we going to hunt other students?”

Fierce opposition broke out immediately. It was from Maria.

“Oh no! Stealing other people’s achievements! That’s disrespectful!”

“But there is a surefire way to get the highest score… .”

“Come on, the opinion just now is unconditionally dismissed. Maria objected.”

“… Why don’t you just discuss it with the saintess alone?”

It was time for Albrecht to scold me. Frey had another opinion.

“and… Maria and Her Highness also need to be taken care of. Her Highness is helpless, so of course we have to protect her, but Maria too… Maria, can you attack other beings with holy power?”

“yes? that, that… .”

“I’m not trying to pressure you. Just be honest. wherever your heart goes That’s why you plan ahead. Slashing, stabbing, crushing, and causing bloodshed… Maria can you?”

Frey asked sharply. Maria hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head.

“ah… you are me, i… .”

“Maria may be good at defending through divine power, but in the end, the point of this training is hunting, not defense. Maria is only an assistant, not a combatant. If someone gets hurt, you can heal them with divine power to near perfection. Evans, you have to consider this.”

Frey’s opinion was valid. In the end, it is said that the only combatants worthy of direct hunting are me, Aru, and Frey. We also have to decide how to keep Maria and Albrecht.

In fact, the outcome of this interim evaluation has already been determined. Even if I just release one Aru on the mountain range, I’ll be able to sweep it all by myself in one night. Although there is no guarantee that only the demons will be captured.

But what I’m looking at is not hunting.

after that The one who appears when you walk through the red curtain. The actor who will direct our Magic Crew’s first ‘show’.

Eastern Archduke Jack. An unmanned person who came from another world. Let’s make the exam hall a mess.
