"Wow! What a pile of carcasses!

"Wow... this is kinda awesome..."

"Ugh... this is... hey..."

The three of us caught up to each other later. Weirdly disgusting...?

Oh, well, I'm good at it. When you look at the ground, there's the remains of Spider, a spider that's rolling unbroken. torn apart body and a splash of fluid on it. Surely this would offend you if you weren't used to it.

"Ray, did you do it all by yourself?

"Oh yes..."

"What's wrong? I have a" kao "look that doesn't float"

"Earlier, Mr. Allium's party was under attack. To these spiders Spiders."

"Huh... really?

"Oh. I assisted the machete, but the strange fog is gone"

"Maybe that's a form of magic in this forest."

"... but I can't solve it. The amount of that spider Spider is strange. This exercise should be managed by faculty. It would also be advisable to consider that some control of the ecosystem is exercised. But I'm obviously overdoing it. To be honest, it wasn't weird that one or so of us was feeding these guys"

"... I wonder if there's anything in this exercise"

"... may be so"

Discussions overlap.

As I mentioned earlier, I felt that was out of the hands of the students. That's like the intuition I've felt since the spider Spider herd was on the move. Oddly enough, that was in the middle of it, but how could I do this?

I hope the ecosystem goes a little crazy and something unexpected happens... whether it ends up worried or not.

"Ray-kun..."

"Elisa, what's going on?

With that in mind by herself, Elisa comes closer. By the way, now Evi is going to collect the carcass in the center and Amelia is going to handle it.

"The clothes..."

"Oh. I'm sorry. It's not pleasant."

Only a little bit on my clothes, but the spider Spider fluid was attached. Elisa stares at it and exercises witchcraft.

"Oh! You just dissipated the adhering liquid!

"Ugh...... yeah. If it worked... fine."

"No, it really helps. Elisa seems to be good at fine witchcraft. You seem to handle the code better than that."

"Is that right...?

"Oh. Until now, I'm sure my brain hasn't caught up with the processing of the code"

"I see... Ray-kun is... I knew you were knowledgeable"

"Well, I don't hate studying."

I don't hate it now, though. Sometimes I hated it at one time. That and this is because of the education by the master... well now is a good memory.

"Ray, it's over."

"Phew...... you're pretty tired"

"I'm sorry. I'll take care of it."

"You're tired after the fight, aren't you? I'll take care of that."

"Whoa! Help each other, right?

"Oh. You're right. Thanks."

It's only been a month and a little while since we met. I'm glad I met such a good fellow. At the same time I think so, I still think somewhere in my mind.

My past, and the days I spend hiding it. It's about time my master's "Country Forest Universal Theory" was getting suspicious.

But can I tell you the truth...?

Lost. Intense. They pass through the brain, just a little bit.

Never, I'm dealing with them now, I'm not a phantom, but I need to face reality one day.

I had a feeling about that.

We kept going from then on.

While defeating the demons that come out, think about the cycle of forest witchcraft so you don't wander. We noticed that once every three hours or so the primary material in this forest, PrimaMateria, has a thinning time slot.

Perhaps that's when this forest magic is weakening. Trying to sew up that time, we were definitely moving forward. With a break pinched on the way, of course.

"Let's rest here today. Sleep... six hours or so."

It is now midnight on the first day. Eighteen hours have elapsed since the start of the exercise. When you add six hours of sleep, it's just a whole day left. The rest has to be cleared in this hour. Of course, it would be possible to proceed without getting any sleep. Everyone had an atmosphere that seemed impotent.

But fatigue, and lack of sleep, doesn't make me an idiot.

Of course there is a decline in physical abilities, but above all the difficulty of exercising magic. Sorcery is a phenomenon brought about mainly by the use of the frontal lobe in the brain. The place is called the Magic Realm, but if you do too much, the Magic Realm Rampage "Overheating" will happen. That's why careful rest is more important than anything else.

"I've never slept outside before..."

"I have experience, though! Well, there was a tent then..."

"Wow, me too..."

"I'm sorry, but it's hard to make that hand thing from now on. It would be nice to lay the grass down and lie down. Dirt, etc... I have no choice but to have it cut off."

I knew Ray was used to it.

"Oh, I used to sleep outside a lot."

"Hmm. Really?"

Amelia said so pale, but she still seemed suspicious about me.

But it is. I know you're from Ordinary and you can't use magic well, but you'd think it's oddly chiseled that you're better than a regular magician when it comes to combat skills. That's when I was remembering my master's words.

"Ray. You're going to be a student"

"Yes."

"But I will never tell you to hide from me that you are an Ice Sword Mage."

"But isn't it a problem when you find out...?

"Such a thing is convenient for the sorcery society. Some of the Seven Mages are open to their own qualities. But in your case, the circumstances are special. Besides, the college is a surprisingly closed space. Rumors soon spread. If you want to sing about college life, you should try to hide it for four years. But I'm not a soldier anymore, and I'm free to do anything... just keep that in mind for once."

"Ha. Got it!

"But if you really have a sincerely trustworthy companion... maybe you can open it up. Your past may also come time to speak."

……

"It's an abominable memory. For me, for you. But a man must not live alone. I will definitely be dealing with people. That's why, be honest with a trusted person, Ray."

"… Master. Thank you for your valuable words."

I had this exchange before school. At the time, I just had a superficial understanding of the meaning of the word. But in a month of school, I already had a buddy that I thought I could trust.

─ ─ What should I do, Master?

With that in mind, I fell asleep.

"Ha... ha... ha..."

"Yabeye... with..."

"Ugh... my leg..."

Wake up in the morning and we'll walk again. The relentless sun plunges in and takes away moisture from your body. Even as I managed to make up for that with hydration and rest, it was time for the fatigue of members other than me to peak.

─ ─ Should I have gotten more sleep? But it could have been more critical than that...... misjudged?

"Ha... ha... ha..."

"Elisa, put your arms on."

"Oh, but..."

"I'll support you."

Elisa was the most at stake of all. That's why I'm gonna go back and lend Elisa my own shoulder.

"I'm sorry I'm going to snuggle up on you."

"Yeah... I don't mind at all. But... thank you."

"Oh, the spirit of help is important."

Evie and Amelia watched that, but they never complained. Evie laughs nicely with her thumbs up all the time, and Amelia smiles with a tender look "Kao".

We all know that. What should we do with the party? Besides, Elisa had better magic related support. Her magic came in handy when generating water and other times confronting demons. Elisa is probably the most common if you say it in terms of the number of times you use magic.

I was definitely fatigued, not only physically, but also in a spiritual sense.

And that magical support is something I can never do right now. That would be why it would be time to reward him for it.

"Ah!"

"Hey, look, Ray! That..."

"Oh. Definitely."

"Yeah... finally..."

It was the middle of the woods there. Carefully marked. Besides, Teaching Gray and Teacher Wright looked chilling. I guess that's the end point.

"Whoa, whoa!

And, where did tiredness go Evi runs. Amelia follows it, and me and Elisa go on like two tripods... but I felt it.

This... is a sign of sorcery.

"Evie! Amelia! Stop!! Delay magic. Delay!

"Oops..."

"Huh......!?

Did the advice make it, Evi and Amelia stop pitted on the spot?

"Elisa, wait a minute."

"Ugh, yeah......"

When I put Elisa down on the spot, I picked up a stone nearby and threw a leopard in front of her. Then…….

"Whoa!!

"Yikes!!

Moment, you reacted to the shock. Delay magic is activated. Something like a birdcage emerged from the ground.

"Again...... quite a trap of bad character"

"Ray, you've noticed."

"Yep. Really."

"There was precipitation in the first material, PrimaMateria. That's specific to Delay, a delayed magic trick. Well, let's go."

When I was in charge of Elisa, we all got there.

"Congratulations, you're the first."

"Yeah, yeah. This year's students are excellent. Isn't that the fastest in history?

There's Gray Teaching and Teacher Wright there, and that's what I'm going to say.

The time is… it is 17: 30. That said, did it take about forty-one hours?

"Oh! You did it, guys! Be the first!

"Yep!

"Yeah......!

"Ah. That's what we've all worked together on."

There was a lot going on, but we ended the practice exercise in the form of a top.
