In the middle of the night, the students at the college were resting in a group of tents strewn on the shore.

Apart from that, five students have caught fire and wandered around.

It's for vigilance.

I may have a night raid, so I'm on alternate surveillance.

Of course, there can't be night raids or anything because this is a safe place in the kingdom. So it's only training. This is an assignment that the college has imposed on students as a basis for fieldwork.

So...

Students have low morale.

Phew - something to yawn at, something to relax about, something to chat about.

There's no sense of urgency surrounding it.

I didn't even find Hurin particularly offensive when I saw those students.

You can't do that in this situation, can you?

and was sympathetic.

One day I'll have to be "exact". The day will come when one alarm will take its life.

But not now.

We just need to grow slowly towards that time.

If I may, Houlin hopes that time is far away.

But - that wasn't that far away.

Hurin noticed an anomaly as he watched the lake sink into the moonlight.

……

The surface of the lake is shaking. The shake is getting bigger and bigger.

(Is that, what...?

Hurin looks away.

At that time...

I saw a thick shadow with a cracked lake surface and something coming out all the time.

Hurin offered his right hand and shouted.

"Writing!"

At the same time, countless light sources emerge on the lake.

――

It was half a horse and a half beautiful woman who was illuminated by the light. Countless mud dolls follow behind her.

The front lines have already boarded up to the lake and are walking as if that were the ground.

"Shh, Doctor... That..."

You must have noticed the anomaly. The students behind it get upset.

"I don't know! But think of it as an enemy!

Hurin screams.

The students are then instructed to contact the Water Quality Survey Unit and wake the sleeping students.

When it was over, Hurin turned to the half-horse woman coming towards him.

"Stop! If you don't stop, I'll attack you!

'This is something different. You called me. "

Women don't stop.

"Called you...?"

It was the students in the back who answered Hurin's question.

"... Isn't that the Spirit of the Water you called in during the day...?

Houlin looked back reflexively at the words without a thump.

"What do you mean?

"Um..."

A student told me everything, even with the look on his face that it was gone, but he thought he couldn't pull in anymore.

"I'm talking about when the teacher isn't here... Mithnia summoned the water spirits. Looks like I failed in the end..."

Hurin saw the woman coming towards him.

It is true that the body is made of water.

Hurin pounded his tongue inside. The spiritual power of this lake is greatly disturbed. I don't know what would happen if an immature magician summoned him. I didn't expect any students to be able to use Spirit Summoning yet, and I should have stabbed the nail.

Worst case scenario - at least we know who the enemy is.

I guess the effect of Spirit Summoning, which is impossible for the Spirit who originally disturbed his sanity, has a negative effect on him as he remains (a brute).

"Spirit of the water, this is not the place you should be! Release Spirit!"

Reverse of Spirit Summoning, activates the magic of Spirit Redemption.

"Gi-hi!?

The Spirit of the Water shook his body.

That was all.

"Kikana! Do you want to get in my way?

As the woman waves, a spear of water appears and flies towards the foot of Hurin. Hurin threw it away with a single hair.

The army of water spirits is already approaching that point.

The noise was spreading behind me. The students who have come up from the tent are raising their voices about what that is.

Hurin exclaimed.

"Enemy! Shoot the magic arrow!

To put it, Hurin cried out the words that would trigger it.

"Magic Arrow!

The blow flew in a straight line to the Spirit of Water and put a hole in the head of her lower-body horse.

But...

That was all.

The holes worn were like water pouring in from the vicinity. The meat flourished and quickly blocked.

(Playability......!

But it wasn't for nothing. Students who were caught in her behavior and acted fast were hitting and releasing magic arrows.

Many came off, but a few shots hit the mud doll. The mud doll keeps walking as if it were a worn hole. At least this one won't recover.

Hurin skipped the instruction to the students.

"The goal is mud dolls! You guys back off while you hit the magic arrow! You mustn't come any closer!

After saying that, Hurin returns his gaze to the spirits of frenzy in front of him.

I said back off.

Hurin himself was not going to back down. The spirits of this water are too dangerous. I couldn't let the students deal with me.

Slipping through her side like that, the mud dolls move on to the students to the back.

"Get out of my way and you'll die, human?

"I hope you don't lick me. Even if you look like this, you're a pretty good magician, aren't you?

It was then.

"BUOOOOOOOOO!?"

Countless red flashes burst into the left half of the Spirit of Water. Unable to withstand much power, the body of the Spirit of the water flutters to the large right.

"I'll join you, Doctor."

"Blaine!?

That's where he showed up.

Blaine Milchs.

Chief of the school year, a man referred to as the next generation of genius.

"No, because you're a student too! Stay back with everyone else!

"Don't push me. That water spirit- it's not normal, it's not normal strength. It's dangerous being alone."

To Blaine's exact analysis - Hurin couldn't argue right away.

He is right in his view. So much so that I don't think I'm a freshman at the college.

This child will definitely be a force of war.

But.

"... I'd love to have your help. You are the son of the Marquis, of the College. - No, it is the Kingdom's expectation. If you hurt a kid like that here, you're fired, Doctor."

Just kidding. Hurin laughs.

But Blaine said this without loosening his expression.

"It's okay, I'm not going to die. I can't wait to die here... it can't be a vessel to the point of death!

At the same time as Blaine's voice rose, Hurin felt that the magic inherent in his body was absent.

(... the Mirchis family of tragedies, or... If you are a child who carries that past and still tries to fight, you can't possibly be afraid to notice this level of trials......)

Hurin sighed.

"Okay. But if I tell you to run, run. All right?

"Yes. Okay."

Blaine went on like this. Just like telling the facts.

"That won't happen, though."
