Episode 70
After eating, we headed back to the vacant lot.
There were already quite a few spirits gathered, so it seemed like we were probably the last to arrive.
I saw a skull standing in the middle… … .
There were a few guys around there that we had become close with over the past few days, and when they saw us, they all avoided their gaze.
“… … .”
An awkward atmosphere flowed, and Evan smiled bitterly.
We didn’t hang out for long, but I still thought of him as a friend.
Charis’ reaction was similar.
And I… Strangely enough, there were no mood swings.
It’s not that I don’t feel sorry for those guys, even though they played well.
Is this because I’m naturally a harsh person?
“Hmm.”
The instructor standing on the podium cleared his throat.
It was Juan, a martial arts teacher, and he was not alone.
All of the great criminals were gathered behind him.
Juan glanced at the leaders with wide eyes and said.
“Charon Youngdo, is it true that everyone is gathered?”
“That’s right.”
Now that I think about it, since when?
The instructors treated Charon like a representative of the leaders.
In addition to this personnel check, short instructions were delivered through Caron.
In mobility classes, Charon always took the lead, and that guy also accepted that treatment as if it was natural.
“The ranking is… hmm. “Looking at their expressions, it looks like they’ve all checked it out.”
Juan smiled somewhat awkwardly.
“Now that you all know, let me tell you. The rule added by Charon Youngdo was [Point trading between Youngdos becomes possible.]”
“… “Is there a reason you’re telling me that now?”
Hector spoke in a voice containing anger.
Juan looked at that face and opened his mouth.
“I don’t have any.”
“yes?”
“There was no reason to say it, just as there was no reason not to say it.”
“… … .”
Juan grinned.
“Young Hector, if you wanted kind explanations and systematic education, you should have entered the Imperial Academy rather than Badniker’s retreat.”
It’s my first time.
The right words came out of that instructor’s mouth.
“If that’s all you have to say, then let’s proceed with your subject selection. You can see the instructors standing behind me, right? They will each be responsible for individual subjects. After listening to a short introduction, you can choose the subject that best suits your aptitude.”
And then Tanko took a step forward and said.
“It’s Tanko. Of course, what I’m going to teach is about hunting. “If you want to slit a believer’s head, even after not sleeping for three days and nights, come to me.”
It was truly an introduction.
Then, one by one, the instructors introduced themselves.
“What I will teach you is how to survive. “If there is someone who wants to survive even if they roll in a poop, come back.”
“This is Heinsburn, a law teacher. We live under one empire, but imperial law does not apply to all lands. “I will teach you about the laws that must be observed outside the empire or in the territory of a different race.”
“What I will teach is the history from the founding of the empire to today. Of course, if you want, I can tell you stories about your favorite twenty-one heroes or the era of gods before that.”
“This is Junian, the teaching teacher. I don’t think everyone here wants to be a hero. If you have any intention for the Sun Bridge, come to me. “I will kindly explain the doctrine of the sun god.”
The introduction of the ambassador continued, and finally, Juan spoke.
“This is Juan, the martial arts teacher. Sword, sword, spear, axe, blunt weapon, dagger, bow… … . “I can teach you about most weapons.”
The spirits’ eyes lit up at those words.
Perhaps because they were still young, they seemed to want a class that was closer to practical training rather than something boring like a theory class.
Among them, I seemed to be particularly interested in the martial arts teacher.
There were especially few people flocking to hunting or survival instructors, regardless of the subjects, perhaps due to the instructor’s tendencies.
“Luan, what class are you taking?”
“well… … .”
I thought briefly about Evan’s question.
What class do I need most right now?
The answer came easily.
‘God bless you.’
It’s not just a matter of mastery of Divine Protection, you have to learn how to use it itself.
Of course, there is no such subject.
But I can’t beg you to teach me this… … . Anyway, I have received divine protection, but I have to hide the fact that I cannot use it.
So my choice is -.
“I have a question.”
When I raised my hand, Juan smiled and said,
“Luan Youngdo, what is it?”
“What happens if I don’t choose any subjects?”
“That cannot be permitted. Then Luan Youngdo won’t be doing anything during elective classes.”
“I study on my own… … .”

“That can’t be said.”
My mouth feels sore.
After all, I can’t let it go that easily.
After thinking for a moment, I headed in front of a certain great criminal.
“… hmm.”
The great criminal looked at me and tilted his head.
“Luan Badnicker.”
“yes.”
“I didn’t expect to come here… Any special reason?”
is it?
Well, this was the most unpopular class among young instructors.
I looked at Junian, the teaching teacher, in front of me.
A powerful person who is not only the chief criminal of Badniker, but also a priest of the Church of the Sun and an Inquisitor of Heresy.
“I think you are the instructor who knows the most about the Dark Church.”
“Yes, but… … .”
The teacher muttered with a slightly annoyed expression on his face.
“… “If you do this, you won’t be able to fool around.”
“yes?”
“no.”
I looked at the teaching teacher with a puzzled look on her face, but this woman remained silent with a blank expression on her face.
Sun Bridge.
I applied because I thought that the doctrine of this religion, which worships the sun god Aton, could somehow serve as inspiration for my First Ball of Flames and Eclipse… … .
‘Did I think wrong?’
Anyway, after the subject selection was over, the master went back to the instructor building.
We were about to take a break, but the martial arts teacher wasn’t leaving the podium.
Does that guy still have something left to say?
“It’s already been a week since you entered the retreat. “People with amazing talent always come to Badniker’s retreat, but this rider seems to be especially outstanding.”
Given the circumstances, there was a high probability that it was just empty words, but some naive guys looked proud as if they thought it was real.
“one week. Now that you have somewhat adapted to life here, you can begin the actual retreat.”
“Seriously?”
Evan muttered an ominous word.
Youngdo and the others seemed to be feeling uneasy, so they all fell silent.
While everyone in Yeongdo was paying attention to the podium, the martial arts teacher’s mouth slowly opened.
“We will form a group from now on.”
“… article?”
“yes.”
“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”
One of the skinny young men asked with a dumb expression.
The way he spoke was a bit rude, but if it were another instructor on the podium, he wouldn’t have been much more polite.
The martial arts teacher spoke while maintaining a gentle expression despite Youngdo’s somewhat rude tone.
“Is there anything strange? When you become an official hero in the future, you will be much more likely to perform missions as a team rather than moving alone. “Cooperation is one of the most important virtues of a hero.”
“Well, I know that, but… … .”
Yeongdo, who asked reflexively, muttered his mouth at the martial arts teacher’s correct opinion and spoke in a mutter.
“It’s because it was so sudden…” … .”
“haha. “I am sorry about that.”
‘At least pretend you’re sorry.’
I thought as I looked at the martial arts teacher’s shameless face.
“Let me tell you a few things about Joe. First of all, once a group is formed, it does not change until the end of the retreat, except under special circumstances. So, I hope that the Yeongdo people in the same group will get along well.”
“What are special circumstances?”
In response to Youngdo’s question, the martial arts teacher smiled and said.
“Isn’t there a case where the number of team members is reduced unintentionally?”
“… … .”
The young leaders who had been standing blankly had their expressions hardened.
Maybe the word death crossed my mind.
“Also, each group consists of four people. “The total number of participants in this retreat is 39, so there will be a total of 9 groups.”
“A total of 9 trillion… “Aren’t the numbers correct?”
“yes. So, at least one group will be a group of three.”
I thought for a moment.
Is there any guarantee that a group with fewer numbers will necessarily do poorly?
“Finally, from now on, there will often be cases where both bonus and deduction points are given to members of the same group. For example, if a member of the group receives extra points for achieving excellent grades, this means that members of the same group can also enjoy the benefits.”
Roaring-.
Those words made the surroundings a bit noisy.
It seems like the martial arts teacher was intentionally trying to portray a positive situation – but maybe it was because of the experience of being stuck at this crappy training center for about a week.
The leaders no longer take what is said literally.
‘Even if the score is bad, it’s still bad.’
If this is the case, it’s cooperation and shit, and it would be strange if there wasn’t a fight.
In fact, it might be better to have less crew members.
“How are groups determined?”
Charon, who had been silent so far, asked.
The martial arts teacher smiled back.
“The instructors decided fairly based on objective indicators.”
I have doubts about that statement.
I recognize the capabilities of the great criminal, but apart from that, I have no idea what some guys are up to.
The leader will be the martial arts teacher standing over there.
Charon also closed his mouth.
His face was lost in thought, of course.
By using the added rules, we achieved an overwhelming first place, but if we end up in the same group as strange guys, we could lose all the points we earned.
Even if the group was made fairly, there was a high chance that Charon would be in a group with relatively lesser leaders.
“That’s enough of an explanation. From now on, I will call each group in turn. First of all, it is 1 trillion. Ruan Badnicker, Evan Helvin, Charles Rubietta, Myr Giant.”
“… … ?”
yes?
