"I'm sorry to call you."

"I wanted to talk to you about something, so I don't mind that, but calling from you is also unusual."

At the same time Tifa was struggling badly in her practical skills class.

Yu had been summoned by Riera to visit the Alto School of Magic.

"I called you today, nothing else. It's a long way from here, but I wanted to make a nomination request to Lord Yu right now."

"Request for nomination? What's in it?"

"Simply put, you mean escort and deduction."

"Escorts and pull rates? We've been escorting Tifa's collection so far, but on that extension line?

"Yes, there is a fieldwork internship at the end of the school year from the third grade, which is Tifa's grade. The place of internship varies from grade to grade, but the third grade is going to be done using the surface layer of" Fallen Ruins, "and I'd like to ask for an escort."

Yu listens to Riera's request and thinks a little.

The escort request itself is fine, but even though it's only nearly six months until the end of the school year, I don't know why I bothered to call myself in to make an appointment at this point.

"I'd like to make sure, how many third-year students?

"The number of people and classes varies from year to year, but this year's third grade is just one class for twenty. This is not true, but our college is expensive, and there's no way that someone with enough magic to go out of their way to attend a magic school can show up every year to make so many classes."

"I see. So, why don't I escort all of them?

"No. I would ask Lord Yu to escort and, in some cases, mentor the team to which Tifa enters"

"Hmm..."

To Riera's explanation, Yu thinks again.

It's just not as good as they said they were all, but diving into a dungeon, albeit on the surface, with kids can be quite a risky request.

If Tifa is the only one who knows his mind, some trust in a certain line, and to some extent knows how far we can go with each other, but otherwise being a child, I don't even know if he will honestly listen to this instruction in the first place.

"How many people are on the first squad?

"It's four to five. It's still pending at this stage, but it's probably going to be four squads for five."

"Five. That's a tough number to take care of on your own."

I have five children. That's what I hear and face Yu.

Even on the basis of differences in educational standards, we will probably not be able to keep our eyes fully open.

In the first place, when it comes to the five amateurs, it's hard to protect them all by themselves, even adults.

Most importantly, in terms of how many escort requests, in the dungeon but also trying to gain combat experience, adventurers and escorts are not normally considered to be completely intact, etc.

But in Yu's case, he has a harsh look because of the knight's standards on the continent of Elphardo, namely, to defend him in any environment without causing one scratch to be chased by the escort and to gain enough experience for his client to seek.

"Why don't we at least be the three of us?

"That's the hard part. However, in some cases, it could be three people a squad."

"And?

"Every year, there are bound to be some students out there who do not reach eligibility. It depends on the number of people, but if there are more than five shepherds out there, that's what happens."

"I see. So, what are the conditions for being that shepherd?

"First of all, naturally, students who joked during their internship or used offensive magic to involve others, whether intentionally or wrongly, will not qualify no matter how good they are. The exception is only if another company has interrupted within magic at the time of activation."

"I guess that is. It involves the lives of other human beings. Anything else?

"You won't be eligible to participate this year unless you can use the magic of being able to pin down monsters you normally encounter in the meadows by yourself or completely disable your attacks"

"The point is, if you can't defend yourself at all, you can join us."

Riera nodding at Yu's question.

No matter how much you get pulled by a veteran, the dungeon is a dungeon. There's no way we're sending out people who can't even defend themselves at a minimum.

"Does that condition mean that students who are good at therapeutic or auxiliary magic cannot participate?

"When it comes to therapeutic magic, that's what happens if you're not at least wearing defenses. Students who are good at auxiliary magic have determined that they also qualify for the auxiliary magic by physically attacking themselves."

"I see. Honestly, if you understand the importance of self-defense that much, I'd like you to devote more time to building your basic health."

"We are currently discussing this area with various parties."

"Public authorities can't help but take time at times like this."

"Absolutely."

Riera agrees with Yu's Boyaki. I'm in the mood for a lot of stupidity as it is, but it's just not nice to derail on a topic that has nothing to do with me in the middle of my work story.

I feel a lot sorry for you, but I feel a lot better.
