We Defeated the Demon and Disbanded Without Any Conflict

62 – Labyrinth Subjugation Week_Second Group

+++

Lane Guardon is currently sitting on a chair in the dean’s office, staring at Lian Serwin.

She had a calm expression as usual, but she couldn’t avoid Lian’s eyes, who had been with her for a considerable amount of time.

Those pupils are very small, shaking with such intensity that you can’t tell unless you look closely. It was agitated.

Although he sent a letter, it seems that he did not know that he would appear so suddenly, at this timing.

“..Do you want a cookie?”

Lian Serwin also took out a cookie she held out and ate it with a shy expression.

Her favorite taste, the sour taste of jam between the subtle sweetness of cookies, filled her mouth, but in this awkward situation, it was impossible to feel such an old-fashioned taste properly.

Lian, who received the gaze of Lane, who had been seen as embarrassing to be caught by others, looked at the scene sneakily revealed on the desk.

A crackling, invisible screen was reflecting Ron’s figure.

“Uh.. Lane, you seem.. well.. getting along.”

The female members of the party of the first warriors knew very well what each of them had in mind for Ron.

And since we’ve been fighting back to back for years, of course we’ve seen each other’s ugliness too.

But no matter how many times I’ve seen it, it was a little… no, I couldn’t help but be very embarrassed to see a person close to me do this.

All the more because he had never shown such an ignorance while we were on an adventure together.

“Yeah. I’m doing well.”

Conversation does not follow

Say it once, quench your thirst with tea.

Say it once, slide the cookie into your mouth.

Lian, who was repeating the same action like a machine, let out a dry laugh.

In contrast, Rain was not in a good mood because he was in an incomplete combustion state.

Again, what I said to Ron once a day, at most four or five times, was by no means a lie.

Lane, who set out on a journey at an early age, lived a life of suppressing her desires.

Because of that, the recoil of what I had only suppressed a step late came, and this was the result.

‘Someone help me.. Huh..’

Lian shouted inwardly like a jjuguri, but there was no helping hand to evoke this atmosphere.

I couldn’t even go out. Because I had to ask Lane about it.

An awkward air current flows without even bringing up the subject.

Perhaps this silence will last for quite a long time unless a third party cuts off this flow.

The professor appeared, took a look at the completely collapsed labyrinth, and held out his hand to me.

I’m a little shy, so I don’t have a hobby of dancing with a guy. I tried to say that, but for some reason, I couldn’t say such a thing because of the cold team atmosphere.

I felt like it would be easier to just go back quickly and keep them at a physical distance.

In particular, the momentum of the asshole was brutal. Perhaps he was really angry at the crisis that almost killed him a while ago, and he kept swearing in a low voice while watching the grin.

The wolf, on the other hand, showed no reaction. It’s a relationship that will end with this anyway, and since the dormitory is different in the first place, there’s no need to worry about it.

“Let’s take out the loot.”

When I said that, butthole nodded and took out one of the trophies he had brought with him.

It was a broken tree branch that did not go well with the labyrinth of the mountain range.

The one with a larger channel for circulating magic than the sum of the size of the xylem and the sieve tube seemed suitable for making it into a magic assisting staff.

Of course, my evaluation and the opinions of experts may be different, but at least it was not enough to be called a spoil of war.

“thank you for your effort.”

As I placed the branch on my outstretched hand, the professor nodded and opened and tore the scroll. It’s probably a scroll with a spell to teleport.

Solar must have had a hard time waking up. It seems like you’re having such a hard time because of my request, so I’m sorry, but I’ll have to buy you something later.

He returned to the academy with a slight sense of floating.

After reuniting with Solar and receiving frequent space shifts, this unpleasant sensation has become quite familiar.

“Hyung! You really, really worked hard! Because of this bastard, I’m really glad I went out with other people tomorrow. Oh, I want to do it again with hyung, but…”

After arriving at the central plaza, as soon as the professor steps away, the butthole laughs and says so. I’m sorry, but if you and I team up again, there will be two scouts again, making it an imbalanced team.

“I expected it when I fought Prion Coulson, but something is different. Did you work separately as a mercenary or adventurer before entering school?”

“no?”

He had told so many lies now that he could shake his head without a change in his expression. The wolf also bowed his head and went back to his dormitory, probably not saying that to dig something.

And the dark one who did the biggest thing in the labyrinth attack today…

Without even apologizing for the suffering others, he was heading to the same class dormitory with his head bowed.

It’s a dead end. I wonder if he also thinks ‘I’ll have to do it with other people next time anyway’.

It’s been a day now. just one day out of the week.

According to Priersil, he said that he would give a separate notice after the task of rescuing the team that failed to subdue the labyrinth was completed.

So if you finish quickly, that means you can rest more. Of course, that’s not as easy as it sounds.

kiik-

“Oh, are you here?”

As soon as you open the door, you can see the heat that only Thor is exercising. This muscle monster must be real crazy.

“Aren’t you tired? Aren’t you supposed to manage your condition?”

“It’s rather good, right? You have to keep moderately tense.”

It’s a pretty good attitude, but I don’t really want to recommend it to fatigue the body like that.

Anyway, like Thorman and I, we weren’t the type to pay that much attention to each other, so we just said, “That’s right,” and moved on.

So I threw myself on the bed, using Thorman’s hoarse voice as white noise.

There was a thud and the sound of someone hitting the bed, which wasn’t very soft, and my back hurt a little. Still, it’s nothing compared to when I woke up after being homeless.

I wasn’t particularly sleepy, so I just lay on the bed and watched Thorman exercise.

His body’s mana circulates rapidly along with his blood. His mana, which flowed like a river, was concentrated in one place and then scattered as if it were released. It felt similar to the mana management method that Odrox often used.

Because the character Odrox itself is famous on the continent, there must be many people who respect him and follow his method. Maybe Thorman is one of them.

As I said before, we had a tacit agreement not to dig deeply into each other, so there was no need to ask.

To enjoy the comfort of the body to the fullest while watching only Thor suffer like that,

Chak-

I heard something sticking to the window. As soon as I opened the window because I wanted something, a letter quickly landed in my arms like a rush.

Familiar handwriting that contains magical characters.

It was a letter from Lane.

The letter Lane sent was for the first year students in the dormitory.

All personnel have successfully returned, and we will announce the next group, so gather in the classroom by 9:00 tomorrow morning.

And since there will be no notice after that, it was said to gather at a fixed time until the end of this week.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

No matter how much Rain likes to write letters, I honestly think it would have been a little annoying to write the same content over and over again.

I felt ashamed for nothing because it seemed like I made Rain suffer too. I need to buy Lane something nice later.

..

The next morning, the lecture room announced.

Each cadet sitting in the seat is showing a variety of reactions.

Some of them stretched out as if to relax their sluggish bodies, and some of them were drooping and giving off signs of being tired.

I don’t know about the former, but it was clear that the latter would make a dying sound on the last day. It’s only been a day, but what if you’re so tired?

“hello.”

This time, it seemed that Priersil was giving notice instead. To say the least, Rain has a lot of things to do, but he probably won’t be able to show his face every single time.

“I’ll deliver the labyrinth and the number of people to attack. You can leave immediately after about two hours.”

Today, I feel like I don’t have much free time.

It was a natural procedure to go around 7 labyrinths in a week, but if this happens, there will probably be some dropouts starting today.

The people who will be with me today came up to me with their heads bowed. This time, three people including myself.

Still, the first atmosphere felt better than yesterday.

There was a variety of races and enemies, but I didn’t feel the vagueness like yesterday.

“hi.”

The long-eared cadet, with his hair in a plait and hanging down to his shoulders, greeted them like that.

Are you an elf? I didn’t know that there would be a rare race that I had never seen before in the academy even when I ventured on the continent. Maybe it was because he wasn’t interested in the other cadets.

“Uh. Nice to meet you.”

At my answer, the elf seemed to be in a bad mood for a while. and snorted. For some reason, this attitude reminds me of Solar.

“Hello nice to meet you.”

This time, a little man greets you warmly.

I wanted to take a closer look at the other person, but the time given was not so much. I had to finish all preparations within 2 hours and come back here again.

“Occupational group?”

“Archer.”

“I am a warrior.”

It’s not bad. Of course, it would depend on how good the archer, the elf, was.

“I’m pretending.”

“..Chuck?”

It’s a suspicious voice that I haven’t heard in a long time. When I was living a life of earning and living in the middle of the day, many adventurers said this when they first saw me.

Scouting is a profession that places extreme importance on senses.

It was only natural that they looked at me with suspicious eyes as I had given up the perspective to get the most information.

“Trust me.”

At my words, the elf let out a big sigh. He seemed to think ‘I stepped on shit’.

“Yes. So? Of course you, the skirmisher, are preparing, right?”

“Can I prepare myself?”

“Ha. Isn’t that obvious? Originally, this kind of thing is in charge of scouting? I don’t know how to prepare for the labyrinth.”

“Oh.. you speak very proudly..”

I said that because I really admired that attitude.

Were the elves an arrogant race? I don’t know because I don’t remember meeting him, but at least the image of an elf in me was fixed as a shameless and arrogant one.

“I… I’m sorry.

“Ha. An incompetent short-lived species…”

You cheeky b*tch! I wanted to say something, but I held back. Instead, I lowered the elf’s score in my mind.

Anyway, I have to spend today with these people. It would be better to follow me obediently than to fight for nothing.

If you have this much confidence, you’re confident in battle, right?

Yesterday’s gloomy won’t be the same flow, will it?

Believe?

“Okay. I’ll do it.”

“I’m not going to do it for you. Please let me assist you- is the right word.”

..I changed my mind.

It’s going to be a more exhausting day than yesterday.
