And the final exam started in earnest.

We move on, down the mountain road where we can't even see our feet in the dark.

"The line is a row of columns! The mountain path is thin! Proceed with caution! Always check the front and rear members and let them know as soon as there are any anomalies!

"" "" "" Yes, instructor!

That's why I'm not the instructor.

Everyone calls me the 'instructor'. Not the actual Atecolo, but me.

In fact, the mountain path at night is a deserving difficulty for the final exam.

No, it might be too hard as a final exam.

Even road without road. If you don't know where you've been walking and you're distracted, you're in distress.

Besides, if you have no vision at all in the dark night, the chances of a shipwreck increase even further.

"Really?

Still, if you are a regular soldier, you may be marching at night, and you may not be able to choose the terrain at that time.

Is this worst case scenario also necessary to see your suitability as a regular soldier?

It seems that the mountain designated for the test site is near the smelter and is often used this way.

Fortunately, there was a narrow path stretching around the mountain like a snake's belly, and if we followed it, we could reach the summit safely.

The mountain itself is not that bitter at the height of the hill or back and forth at the top.

If you don't disturb the line, be careful, don't lose sight of the road, and keep going, we can all pass without leakage.

"Calm down and move on! We got eyes on the road! You can get to the goal if you don't take it off, step by step! You don't have to rush!

"I understand, instructor!

"I'm glad you had an instructor......! Thanks to you, we all passed......!

That's why I'm not a teacher.

As declared, the tactical procedure for the night mountain tread has already been worked out, and all you have to do is execute it firmly to reach the top.

If nothing goes on like this, it's what's going on in the line, and we'll all pass together safely.

I am not distracted, but I am reassured that I am moving forward….

... I knew it happened.

There is an incident that will not finish the exam like this.

"Nah!? What is that?!?"

The frightened voice rose from the middle of the line.

"What!? I told you to report the anomaly as soon as you detected it! Clearly!

"Su, excuse me, instructor. Huh!?"

So I'm a teacher......!

Enough.

"Beyond those trees, something glowed! Kill me...!?"

"Isn't that your mistake?

"Maybe. Because it was a moment……!?"

The person who discovered it is also losing confidence in his peers.

But the silent killing of a small discomfort can also lead to the death of the next moment.

"Everyone! Put Matsuaki in the direction of the problem!

I can't go down the mountain path in the middle of the night in complete darkness.

He burned a brilliant pine light, at least securing his sight only around himself.

Bring that pine light in the direction that something is shining, and your vision in that direction becomes clearer.

Then...!?

"…… glowed, indeed."

Now I checked too.

With a chillari so that something reflects.

"Reflection……, reflecting on the pine light?

What the hell happened?

I hold my breath and activate Ji Sacred Art.

Ability to perceive signs of life around you by using supersensations above the five senses.

I thought there were too many creatures in the mountains and they were just annoying, but if there was a life with certain malice, there would be some reaction.

…… there was.

"All in battle! Enemy!"

"Eh!?"

It moved with my voice.

Reflecting the lights of the pine lights, they loom as they burn both glaring eyes red......

Wolf.

"Oh no!?"

"Intercept! Give me your sword! No, it's pine and clogged my dominant hand. Ugh!?"

The trainee has not yet been put into action.

I can't handle the outbreak.

"Ha!!"

That's where I had to move.

Open your jaw and kick out the wolf approaching the trainee.

A wolf rolls down the mountain's downhill with Gain and a pitiful voice.

It disappeared again into the darkness of the night.

"Are you all hurt?!? You're not messing up the line!? Check back and forth to see if he's not here!

Trainees who, while confused by my call, execute the instructions well.

Imprinted actions can be carried out with agitation. You've lived up to your day training.

"What was that? What's that? A wild dog?"

Rock the giant nose, and Gashi walks over.

I had left it up to him to protect the rear of the line to rely on...

"It's in the mountains somehow. Isn't that strange to be around a wolf...... But that."

"What is it? Why don't you just say it without wasting it?

Gashi rushes me, and I try to express the suspicions that have sprung up in my chest.

"…… may be a warcraft"

"Ha!?"

Normal beasts and warcraft are distinctly different in this world.

Warcraft was originally a normal beast. That is the beast of the beast god Beast. It is the beast of the beast that has been strengthened and transformed.

So it's an unlikely demon in nature, and in the "Beast Fantasy" series, its very existence is treated as a monster that occurs in the field.

In "Beast Fantasy 4," Herod, the Beast Demon Emperor who signed with Beast, has become an important force in the Empire by being able to manipulate the Beast, the family of the Beast God.

When the protagonist Cyril infiltrates an important facility of the Empire, it seems that's why he encounts and fights the Warcraft...

"Here they come!

Beyond the darkness, the same reflected light countless as just now.

Assuming I'm all wolf eyed......

"Now they're coming in a group! Sink your hips! Step on it, if you move poorly off the mountain path, you won't get to the top!

The wolves that make up the herd and attack.

No, wild dogs.

Definitely. They are Warcraft Rick Dogs.

Dog-shaped warcraft, where wild dogs were distracted from nature by beast demons.

A kind of Zako enemy that comes out relatively early in the game.

It's troublesome because you show up like a dog in a herd. Good for earning experience for that though.

It appeared many times in the first to several works of "Beast Fantasy," and I could notice it in an instant of contact just from what I've seen over my parents' faces during the game.

"Uhhhhhh!?"

"Now I'm here in a herd!

The trainees follow my instructions and stay.

If I got away badly here and scattered it, seriously, I was shipwrecked and not at the test, so it was great to be patient and motionless about being scared.

In response to their courage like that, we have to let them all pass at all costs.

"Cedera! Be the lead on my behalf! Make sure you don't step off the mountain path! If we do that, we'll get to the top!

Give instructions to your peers at the top of the line.

If you don't move on anyway, move on.

"Doraaah!

Gashi stands up to the demon dogs with me.

Lariat rolling out of its gigantic body, blowing three heads together at once.

"Damn how many of them are there!? If they tease us, the night will dawn! Hey, Jilla, can't your magic wipe out the fucking dogs?"

Gasi also knows that I can use magic in the training life we spent together.

"You can do it, but there's definitely gonna be a mountain fire at the same time, right?

"All right, let's twist it one at a time without laying it down!!"

Even if you switch to cooling magic, it doesn't change how much damage you do to your surroundings.

"More than that, Gashi, you can go back in line and go with me. I agree you can't hang out with him."

"What about you?

"Stop the wild dogs here.... No, I'm going to clean it up. The target is the Lower Warcraft. It's a hassle to crush one chima at a time, but it won't take long. I'll catch up soon."

"If it were you, it would be as easy as that..."

Gasi pointing a worrying gaze.

Come on, how long have we been so caring about each other?

"There is no guarantee that there will be no danger at all before here. I want you to do it then, Gashi. Protect us all."

…………

The giant retreats immediately and returns to his line, which has already begun to advance.

"I got this one! Come and catch up with me, too!

With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.

As a matter of fact, a few Rick Dogs are no match for me right now.

But there are things that bother me.

Why is there a warcraft wandering around here, albeit low-level?

Warcraft are the wretched beasts who, as mentioned earlier, were bewitched by the demons of the beast god Beast.

The more dominance of the Beast God is spread through the enemies in the game, the more the Beast is set to appear on the field as well.

But in the realm of the Empire, which covenants with the Beast God and has the right to manipulate the Warcraft, will there be wild warcraft roaming against men, whoever he may be?

Empires can manipulate warcraft.

So it's an evil empire.

If you beat a warcraft as part of an exam, wouldn't it be too high a willingness to kill as an exam?

So what else could it possibly be?
