Academy’s Second Seat

We were standing somewhere in the mountains.

The mountain was dyed red as if to indicate that it was autumn.

A cool breeze shook the trees and dropped the leaves.

Borval brushed away the swirling autumn leaves with his hands.

and looked at me and said

“Then are you moving alone?”

“Yes, I will go right away.”

“Then I will go with this guy.”

Borval pointed to the guy standing next to him.

“Come on, come on, good luck, please… … .”

“Yes, please.”

Borval stopped talking before the guy next to him finished speaking.

The guy was unbelievable.

Seeing Borval like that, I felt a little sorry.

Before the joint training started, I had been running around trying to save one other person besides Borval.

However, it was not easy to find one.

Since it was an activity involving three people, there were many groups participating in pairs with close friends.

If three people who don’t know each other get together, the power is just an addition, and when people with the right sum are gathered, it can be multiplied, or even squared.

So, all the strong guys gathered with people who fit well with them or who could support their strength well.

Not being able to play on the same team as Lie, Luna, and Astina made it hard for me to feel that I had a narrow network.

As I wandered around thinking like that, I found a familiar face.

It was the red head that bothered me at the beginning of the first semester.

“Hey, what was your name?”

“My name is Jet William!”

“Yeah, Jet, good luck.”

Jet trembled every time he saw me after I gave him a little ‘education’ at the beginning of the semester.

Even when I was told to just use a nonsense, he consistently said it with respect.

I just looked at him pathetic.

After Garwell disappeared, this guy crashed out of the academy.

The bastards I went with were also low-ranking nobles, so there was no one to take charge of the captain, and as a result, the group was divided.

These days, it seemed like I was just quietly attending the academy.

I don’t know how skilled he is, but if he had Borval anyway, no matter how many first-year students rushed in, he would be able to withstand it, so this guy was just for filling his head.

Also, because I instilled a sense of fear properly, I would probably listen well, so I had the advantage of being able to just deal with anything.

“I will start soon.”

As Borval opened his mouth, a flame burst into the sky.

-phut!

The flame was used to signal the beginning.

“Then shall we go?”

With Borval’s words, I immediately moved forward.

“Ahhh!!!”

“I just gave it to you.”

Rie smiled and smiled at the person who was lying down.

Locke stepped forward and pulled a small jewel from the fallen man’s pocket.

The gem was used to calculate points.

If each person gave the jewel one by one, and took the jewel of the captain to his jewel, all the points the captain had could be taken away.

“After all, it’s Rie-sama.”

Lie’s assistant said next to him.

He was the son of the Petro family, a family famous for alchemy.

“okay.”

That person was a guy Rie didn’t know well.

However, since he was in the Alchemy Department, he was the perfect guy to assist Rie.

“Hmm… … .”

Rie patted her chin as she took a step forward.

Scores were gradually accumulating, but it seemed a little difficult to take first place if it went on like this.

To be honest, Rie was confident in fighting anyone.

Even without Astina, I was able to claim victory even if I went alone.

Even Locke was attached to Lie next to him, so it was the object of fear for everyone.

However, that made it difficult to take first place.

When most of the Joes met Lee, they did not try to fight and ran away.

So I kept chasing after them, and the time dragged on.

Lee opened his mouth as he walked away.

“Locke, from now on, you must act individually.”

“Is it an individual action?”

“Yeah, don’t bother looking for the strong ones, just pick the ones you can defeat and deal with them.”

When Locke went with Lee, his mobility was wasted too much.

Because of that, neither Son of the Petro family, who was a member of the same team, nor Lee could move quickly.

So Locke decided it would be better to go alone and deal with the small groups.

“All right. Then I will go south.”

“Yeah, we go north.”

Locke heard Rie’s words and immediately moved on.

I was walking alone in the woods.

I met some groups while walking around, but they were not my opponents.

The quick-witted guys were busy running away from me, but most of them tried to fight me, who was wandering around alone.

Our group’s leader was Borval, but the guys we met didn’t know about it.

I just got good grades in the evaluation and decided that I was the captain and rushed to me.

“Didn’t you try to find out about a group with people in the rankings?”

There was nothing that could not be gained by fighting me, who was a member of the team anyway.

It was just like a fire moth.

I was supposed to go to Evan quickly, but the time was running out, so I frowned.

After moving for a while, I took out a scroll from my bag.

And when I tore the scroll, a map was drawn in the air.

There was one dot on the map.

“Hmm… … . It’s hard to find because it keeps moving.”

It was the point that pointed to Astina’s mana.

To be precise, Astina’s mana was pointing to Yeniel holding her heart… … .

In this test, Astina did not participate and was outside the test site as a safety committee member.

So, if you find Astina’s mana, you can find Yeniel.

The day after I heard that Astina was not participating in the exam, I went to see Astina.

And she used her mana to create a search magic circle.

Evan is sure to be in the same group as Yeniel.

“Hmm… … Is it south… … .”

Evanne kept moving around in the south.

The map floating in the air disappeared as time ran out.

“Shall we move at once?”

It was time for me to move.

In the distance, I saw a figure of a person running fast towards me.

“What else is that?”

Seeing that he was moving quickly with a sword on his waist, it was clear that he was in the Swordsmanship School.

However, seeing him acting alone like me, he didn’t seem like an ordinary guy.

As he came closer to me, he slowly slowed down.

“Well?”

The man slowed down and jumped towards me.

“What are you doing here?”

“lock?”

That guy was Locke.

“Hey, nice to meet you here.”

I said hello to Locke.

The two of us didn’t have to fight.

If it was Rie, we might have fought, but this guy is a team member like me.

That guy also knew that I wasn’t the captain, no, it was a meaningless fight if we fought together.

“Where are you going, Rie, and wandering around alone?”

“Anyway, Lee-sama is able to fight alone, so he is earning more points through individual actions.”

“Oh, right?”

I smiled bitterly at that.

“Okay then, let me ask you something. I know one great piece of information.”

“Information?”

“Uh, don’t you want to get hit by a score bomb?”

said with a bit of a lie.

I decided to use the lock.

north of the forest.

“It’s Luna! Good work!!”

Rika rushed into Luna’s arms and said.

“yes! Ena and Rika did a great job too!”

Luna smiled brightly at Rika like that.

“What have I done?”

Anna said as she walked from behind.

“Hey, Ena brings a lot of good reagents, so it’s easier to fight.”

At Luna’s words, Ena smiled.

“What’s more, Grove than that. It’s really strong.”

Luna was wearing a black robe.

“Hehehe, I got a present.”

Luna said, clutching her robe.

It was a robe made of Wyvern leather that Rudy gave as a gift.

As the Lunane group consisted of the Faculty of Magic and the Faculty of Alchemy, there was no avant-garde.

Therefore, the attack focused on Luna and there were several dangers.

However, the attacks all hit the robes and bounced off.

Of course, they were attacks that would not hurt much even if they were hit.

Also, since Ena has a healing potion, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but having an armor that can block attacks made Luna move more daringly.

“The score is gradually accumulating.”

“Aren’t we going to be number one because of this?”

As Ena spoke while looking at the score, Rika waved her fist up and down.

“I wish I did.”

Luna looked at the two and smiled.

Luna touched the small bag she was carrying on her back.

Inside the bag was a magic book.

To be honest, I haven’t used it properly since I got the spell, but I brought it with me just in case.

However, looking at the current situation, I didn’t see anything useful.

Most were able to win with pre-made scrolls or cubes created during personal evaluation.

“Then shall we move again?”

As Luna was about to move like that, she saw a familiar face in the distance.

“ah… … .”

It was clearly a familiar face, and there was a welcome feeling.

However, I couldn’t say goodbye.

“Rika, Ena… … ! behind!”

Luna held her breath and said to the two of them.

Rika and Ena bowed down at Luna’s words.

However, he could not properly hide his body with such a movement.

Clearly, this place was in the mountains, but there were many empty areas without trees in the north.

Even if I hid myself in the open vacant lot, it was meaningless.

“Ena, Rika, let’s go to that tree with our bodies bowed down… … .”

“What’s going on?”

Seeing Luna say that, Ena asked.

However, I could immediately see why.

“There, I saw all the fights.”

The people Luna had discovered walked by with a seductive smile.

Rika and Ena looked at the man and hardened their faces.

“ah… … .”

And the person who walked from there also had a hard face.

“roo… … Luna?”

That person was Lee.
