Chapter 54

Isaac went to see Instructor Tail before leaving Everwhale.

I thought about complaining about bringing such a troublesome job, and talking about work for a while.

“Oh, Isaac! When did you come?”

“a moment ago. It’s time to go.”

“Are you going already?”

“Because someone is causing the subordinates to be very dissatisfied.”

“Ha ha, sorry. How rewarding it is though. Isn’t it an opportunity to show the future sprouts as a senior?”

“If you liked that kind of thing, I would have been an instructor with you.”

Instructor Tail laughed at Isaac’s words.

It was nice to see a friend’s face after a long time. At this age, it’s not easy to meet because you’re busy with work and what you’re doing.

“Don’t worry too much. I follow, and they are all excellent students. I won’t hold you back.”

“I mean those students. Agrid is on the list.”

“that’s right. That Agrid’s self-restraint is correct. Wouldn’t you be very surprised to see it yourself?”

“Surprised. I’ll be glad if I don’t get tired of it.”

“hmm? Don’t you think so?”

Isaac and Instructor Tail looked at each other.

There was a serious error of perception between the two.

The perception of Cyan Agrid.

“That guy Xian has no answers. It’s hard to believe that a guy like that is the son of that sword king.”

Isaac remembered an old incident.

When he was staying with the Agrid family as a guest.

While training alone in the corner of the parade ground, he once saw a child approaching the knights with an arrogant attitude.

The young guy spat out flat words and gave orders to the knights with his chin, yes, I understand.

Since he is about the eldest son of a marquis, he could be raised that way.

But then there was the problem.

―Ah~ Dad told me to learn the sword while sparring with you guys. Let’s just pretend. will you lose?

At those words, all the curiosity that had remained as small as a grain of rice disappeared.

Every right in the world comes with an obligation.

And the Agrid family, which has all kinds of enormous rights, has duties to match.

The biggest duty among them is the duty to be strong. The duty to be proud and dignified in front of everyone.

However, Xi’an’s attitude that day seemed completely unwilling to respect such things.

“hmm.”

Instructor Tail listened to everything he said.

I did understand. Isaac’s words matched the rumors of Xian that Instructor Tail had heard from before.

However, there were many differences from the Xian he had seen with his own eyes, not rumors.

“I have no intention of discussing what happened to you. Just have a look. I hope you can change your mind.”

It is better to see and judge for yourself than to explain this in words.

With that thought in mind, Instructor Tail didn’t bother to explain Xian’s appearance he had seen.

Isaac tilted his head at his attitude.

In the past, before Instructor Tail became an instructor, he was also a member of the Blaten Guild.

Not just a member, but one of the founding members who founded the guild with Isaac himself.

The two of you have clashed a lot since before.

Judging from that experience, Instructor Tail was not a man to say such things carelessly.

He really hoped that he would change his mind, that is, he would start looking at Xian in a positive way.

why?

‘Well, it has nothing to do with me.’

Isaac had doubts for a moment, but soon put the useless thoughts away.

There were things that bothered him more than that.

‘Sword. Certainly great.’

The president of Everweil, whom we just saw, is Zerech von Bergheisel.

I didn’t dare to touch the sword, but I felt it desperately. that he was still far away.

A bitter taste lingered in my mouth.

He has already stepped onto the high stage of being a master, but of course he is not satisfied with that.

His goal is to become the 11th High Master.

There are people who have already walked that path. There are already 10 people, including Geomno.

Yet, he is already stagnant.

It was for this reason that he accepted the request to subdue the high orcs in the snowy mountains and accepted Instructor Tail’s request to observe them.

It was a request he would never have received normally, but he moved in various ways to find an opportunity to break through his stagnant skills.

But so far no answer has been found.

“See you later.”

“Okay, good luck.”

Leaving behind Instructor Tail, who was waving comfortably, unlike him who was nervous.

Isaac Blatten has left Everweil.

* * *

Snow acid grupane.

It is one of the mountains in the tomb of the giants. Unlike Mt. Kurt, which I went to before, it is much further north.

It was quite close to the border of the fairy palace, Glacier Baengnyeong, so the route to go there was also decided.

Under the guidance of Instructor Tail, use the Warp Gate in the city.

After moving to the city located on the border of Glacier Baengnyeong, rent a wagon and get down there.

It is a route that can save a lot of time as it uses a warp gate.

However, it was necessary to ride a carriage for several days from the border of Glacier Baengnyeong to Gryupane.

“Ah~ my butt hurts.”

“Why is it so hard to go there only by carriage?”

“I can’t help it because it’s a cheap carriage… … .”

All other expenses were reduced as much as possible to pay for the warp gate for more than 30 people.

Thanks to that, he was a cheap guy who only had an assortment of wagons.

Even that, I had to borrow a few cars to get all 30 students on board.

I had to take into account that it was something that would bruise my butt every time it rattled.

‘Ran didn’t come after all.’

During the break after the meal, Xian looked around at the resting students.

Everyone was wearing thick clothes and drinking hot brewed tea as they came via Gakbaengnyeong.

Most of the students in class 1.

However, only one person, Ran, was missing.

The other day, he said he was going to Jakarta to see his father, but he has not returned yet.

There was no problem in missing a field trip as long as I returned before the exam.

“Now, take a break and listen. I will briefly explain the place we are going to this time.”

Instructor Tail clapped and clapped, attracting the attention of the students.

Now, in just two days, we will reach our destination. The time has come to explain the contents of the field trip.

“Everyone has heard of the destination, but it is Snow Mountain Gryupane. Although it is close to Glacier Baengnyeong, it is definitely an area belonging to the graves of giants.”

In other words, it means that it is a place filled with demonic energy flowing from the body of a giant.

It is said that the monsters that were heavily influenced by that demonic spirit were swarming.

“The monsters that inhabit Gryupane are high orcs. They are much larger and more powerful than the Orcs that inhabit the plains. His skin is also brown.”

“Is it stronger if your skin color is brown?”

“It’s not like that, it’s just one of their characteristics. It’s probably because of the cold weather in Gryupane.”

Brown skin is said to be the most distinctive feature of the high orcs of Gryupane.

Not only that, but thick tusks that stand out like wild boar tusks.

His intellect is high enough to build and equip himself with weapons as well as architecture.

They are known for being difficult in many ways.

“I’ve never even met an orc, but a high orc… … .”

Erze, who had quietly approached me and said,

“You’d better think of it as a completely different species.”

“That, is it?”

“Faster, stronger, smarter. It even has its own culture.”

The high orcs of Gryupane were considered completely separate creatures from the orcs of the plains.

They are born hunters who live in a fortress built on snowy mountains and hunt animals.

and.

‘When the prey falls, it comes down to the bottom of the mountain and acts violently.’

As a result, there were no small number of private houses that suffered damage every year.

In severe cases, they invade the borders of Glacier Baengnyeong at will, plunder and return.

They were completely no different from bandits.

“The request the Blaten Guild received is a request to completely subdue those troublesome guys. They say you got it directly from the fairy palace.”

“oh… … .”

“At the palace?”

At those words, some of the half-fairy students’ eyes lit up.

As a native of Glacier Baengnyeong, they have heard the high-orcs’ rumblings on the border.

Originally, it was dismissed as a problem with one territory, but it finally responded to the word that the palace directly came forward and requested it.

“However, they say that the request itself is nearing completion. All that remains is to subjugate the nearby remnants and attack the last remaining fortress. It is the work that we will observe.”

Most will only tour the back. Instructor Tail explained that there wasn’t much to fight directly.

At that, the students were half relieved and half regretful.

The less dangerous the better, but it would be a good experience to fight at least once.

“Don’t be too sad. There must be something to be gained just by looking at it from behind.”

“Well, I’m glad I thought it would be comfortable.”

“I wish I could do something about this cold… … .”

After that, Instructor Tail’s explanation continued for a while.

First, arrive at the Blaten Guild’s garrison and unpack.

And before attacking the fort, we plan to watch the subjugation of the nearby remnants. It’s annoying if you get attacked from behind while attacking.

After that, I participated in the fort attack as a rear unit.

It’s a rear unit, but it’s a position that never fights in front. I’ll be helping the wounded or carrying supplies or something like that.

“For now, this is the end of what I have to say. Then let’s rest for another 10 minutes and start again.”

“Yeah~”

The story of the request has come to an end.

Ergé hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xian, then quietly approached and sat next to him.

It was a subtle distance away.

“It’s cold, really cold. yes?”

“I know. Would you like a cup of tea?”

“huh.”

I brewed a cup of tea along with the water Xian had boiled.

A crude wooden cup, not the usual luxurious cup.

“uh? this… … .”

“Weilmoon’s blending tea I bought at that time. I like the taste, so I go often these days.”

“That, is it?”

Hergé was slightly embarrassed and received the wooden cup from Xian.

I was somehow happy.

The thought that the events of that day were definitely left in Xian’s memory as well as himself.

She sipped tea.

Then her eyes widened slightly.

“it’s good… … .”

“Are you fine?”

“huh! But was it originally like this?”

“It’s because of the cup.”

The wooden cup she was holding was not just a cup.

It is made from a fruit tree called Pilot, and it is an item that Xian deliberately made to order according to the tea leaves.

The unique scent of fruit trees blends subtly with the scent of this tea.

Xian didn’t particularly choose what to eat, but he was a person who spared no effort if he could eat more deliciously.

When Yeomno and I lived together, we took turns making meals.

“good night… … .”

“I know.”

The two sipped tea and talked. As the weather was cold, drinking a cup of tea outside felt even more special.

“Seeing what the instructor is saying, I don’t think there’s much to fight about this time.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I thought you would say that.”

Erze laughed and said.

Even so, she was thinking about it. If it was Xi’an, I would feel sorry for him.

Still, from her point of view, it was nice not to have to fight.

Of course, wouldn’t it be better to just visit the place peacefully?

Such a leisurely time passes by.

Woo woo woo woo!

Upon entering Gryupane, the wagon they were carrying was ambushed.

* * *

The beginning of Snow Mountain Gryupane.

The road was wide enough for a wagon to enter.

On the way, a wagon carrying students was attacked by a group of high orcs riding white wolves.

There were two men on horseback on a hill where they could all be seen.

Blaten’s guild leader Isaac and his right-hand man Dunas.

“Can I help you?”

Dunas looked at Isaac and talked.

The two came out to meet the students who were due to arrive today.

But when I came out, I was under attack.

Isaac spoke as he watched the students leaping out of the wagons below.

“Watch it like this.”

“Are you okay?”

“Because there’s a guy named Tail over there. It won’t be as dangerous as ten. and.”

Isaac looked at the students.

And I found a familiar face among them.

A male student with unusual black hair.

“If you can’t solve this level on your own, you don’t deserve to climb this mountain.”

Looking at Sian Agrid, he spoke coldly.
