Continental Hero Senki

Wolf Smoke of War (Modified)

January 11, 632 Continental Calendar.

There was heavy air flowing near the border between Silesia and Carlsbert.

"Colonel...... this is"

"Oh, you feel like they're nagging because they want to cross the border. Ensign, what's the status of the evacuation of the residents?

"No, it's a little tricky. It's only about 70%."

"Make him hurry. We don't know what happens when they cross the border."

Copy that, sir.

A total of more than a hundred thousand uninvited guests were about to come to this despicable rural town.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The fourth and fifth graders were summoned. It refers to the 21st January of the Continental Calendar, 10 days after the Principal issued the Standby Order for Deployment.

At the same time, he was also told that "in some circumstances there may be a convocation for students under the third grade".

Sometimes, the atmosphere of three sets a year to which I belong was heavy.

I had an aristocratic son who was reluctant to convene and consider leaving school. Some people wrote suicide notes. Some of them gave up saying they couldn't do anything anymore.

Me? I was pretty calm.

Every day I take classes as usual, Sarah beats me as usual, Sarah whips me as usual, and I go back to my dorm as usual.

I think the sense of crisis around there diminished because Sarah had a scarier day than the battlefield.

"Hey, can I still have my remaining class today?

"Fine."

I've had Sarah put on an archery every day since that day. Swordsmanship equestrianism is central. No bowing. No one can teach me magic.

Thanks to Sarah, she will no longer be swayed by the sword, nor will she be swayed down by the horse. Finally, I got used to the pain and I felt better about my motor vision. Salazar's Boot Camp is just fine.

Well, I was wondering if today's class was either swordsmanship or equestrianism, and three of our instructors in charge came to the classroom a year.

"so that whoever is called by name from now on may come to the teaching division immediately"

... a convocation? I guess so. I can't think of anything else.

"Er..., Antoni Coloba. Philip Jurek. Ref Bigos. Hannah Viniewska......"

The teacher has no great emotions and reads the roster pale. When I looked at those who were called names, they all had a desperate look on their faces. You look like a prisoner sentenced to death.

"... Simon Kaminski. Rasdwav Novak. Sarah Marinovska. Yuzef Waresa. That's 16."

... Sarah and I looked at each other. They just called, didn't they? Me? Are you here? Did you come here with red paper?

"... I might have to cancel class today."

"Maybe you don't have to do it anymore"

I'm not kidding. If you die here, it doesn't make sense to reincarnate.

"In the meantime, shall we go to the teaching section"

"Right."

That's what I told Sarah and she left the classroom. Then I looked back curious, and there was a whirlpool of joy there. I could have survived the present for now. He looked like that.

What do I look like now?

"Let's put it briefly. You are to be assigned to the 33rd Special Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Army on the Southern Border after 11 a.m. tomorrow. Follow up with details. I hope you're all okay."

Today's date is January 22. I just convened grades 4 and 5 yesterday, but they weren't enough yet. It also took a convocation for top graders below grade 3.

Ah. I guess I'll write in a suicide note, too. If you die, but your next reincarnation life awaits you, you die clean, but not necessarily the next.

Number one, I'm still a virgin. It's not someone's word, but I'm not going to die a virgin.

... Are you sure it's okay with me, the top grader? Was that a real knockout?

And Sarah the Destroyer. What is the standard? Could we all have been dumber than we expected?

"I don't mind you guys going to class after tomorrow. You don't have to worry about units. Coming back here safely is an exam. That's good."

The teacher's tone was terribly calm, but at the same time he looked so sorry. I'm 10 years old, and you're blaming my conscience for putting such a child on the battlefield...

I'm not going to blame the teachers. The teacher did not have the authority to decide on the convening members, and a number of teachers had been called on to do so. It's each other who doesn't know when they're going to die.

"... I'll do my best"

That's what I say, salute the teacher. Sarah, Radek, and everyone else saluted as well.

I just learned, and all this was an inappropriate salute, but the teacher gave me back without saying anything.

28 January 632 Continental Calendar. On this day, the Karlsbert Republic Army finally crossed the border.

In future generations, this is the moment when the war, known as the Silesia-Karlsbert war, came to an end.
