─ ─ A few days later, at the 'Newbie Training' site-

"Enough temper! Can you move 'Inspirational Hydra' with that!

A man wearing a scarlet robe - the 'Teacher Mage' - shouted at the trainees in line.

"" "Yes! Sorry! Instructor Mage Lord of Vermillion which!!

The 'trainees' lined up on the coast answered with upright immobilisation.

The Teacher Mage, with his sword in his hand, walked back and forth before them...

"This' newbie training 'was started by you yourselves, even though your employer told you to. Whatever it is, it's your own fault. If you don't want to, you can always go home!

"Really? Then I... it's time."

"Except the guy who went home on the way, he can't even do what he decides to do! Report to your employer, guild, or chamber of commerce as such. That's what you think about what happens to the rest of the job!!

".................. Ah"

"Come on, after the run, let's do some gymnastics. Gather your magic to me by this. Put everyone's heart together and move the demon. This is where you find out if there's enough coordination!!

"The Teacher Mage" slapped his hand.

The 'trainees' begin to travel with that as a signal.

This is a coastal area in the northern part of Mishrilla, the conservation site.

The Trainees are on the beach. These are the people who came to get 'rookie training' at work and on the recommendation of someone they know.

Different genders and ages, but the clothes we all wore were the same.

A blurry cloth fastened with a string instead of a belt. Group names and numbers are depicted on the surface.

"Move in order. A to E groups. Start your own gymnastics!

"" "" "" ─ Yes "" "

The "Trainees" go into preparation for the "Magic Giver Gymnastics" with a nodding look on their faces.

Watching it, "The Teacher Mage" took the crystal balls out of the sack he had swallowed on his hips.

"The effect of my own 'curse' is negligible. Can I move for another hour?"

Checking the cloudiness of the crystal, "Instructor Mage" snapped.

This crystal ball is a magic item that prevents the 'Curse'. Influenced by the 'curse' instead of the owner, it becomes completely black when the limits come. Now gray. His own work wasn't done yet, and he was going to stay active for a bit longer.

"This sandy beach still has a weak 'curse' effect. If you had a talisman, you'd keep it."

"The Teacher Mage" looked around.

At the end of the beach there is a small boat that stops, and beyond it there is a large boat that houses the 'trainees'.

The other side is Rock Mountain.

Heading north, the beach is gone and the waves are hitting the cut cliffs directly.

It was around there that the mermaid lived, and it is also the place where the 'curse' has the strongest influence.

They say there's a dungeon in the Mermaid's residence that was sealed a long time ago.

It's the heart of The Cursed Land. Even with a talisman, I can't stay long.

So first, we needed to find someone who was resistant. It's training for that.

This, moreover, has the effect of creating a submissive worker.

At the end of their training, they become working in aristocratic mansions, guilds and chambers of commerce, without even shaking their sides. All employers are happy.

As an organization of "Teacher Mages," we will send in our own collaborators. It was one stone and two birds.

"But...... you're just a bunch of people who get crushed by the 'curse' and stop thinking about anything. Can't use it."

"The Teacher Mage" made his dark hair sea breeze and snapped.

The 'trainees' are starting to organize gymnastics on the beach.

Pyramid-shaped gymnastics in pairs of ten. Together, they all have the effect of gathering magic. Magic formations are depicted on the beach. It is a system for the use of the magic they gather by the 'Teacher Mage'.

"Kee, 'Teacher Mage' Which... No more, Murray"

"Who said to speak up! Group D. Nos. 1 to 10!

"No… in this number of people, the calves… without…"

"Don't make excuses!

"The Teacher Mage," cried out.

"Magic Offering Group Gymnastics" neatly organized on the beach.

It was a beautiful sight, but only those from Group D were distorted and snoring shaped.

"......................................................................................................................................."

"You said it was number four? Did you run away... what's his name?

…………

"Remember about your buddy's name! Joint responsibility. Follow me all of you."

"The Teacher Mage" takes the trainees and runs out.

"This' newcomer training 'is an important task that Marquis Hillmut has been asked to do. Do you forgive escape?"

"The Teacher Mage" turned his gaze to a large ship that stopped in the shallow waters.

There's the Marquis Hillmut and the other instructor.

The Teacher Mage, who remembers its face, accidentally scratches his back teeth. Another 'instructor' to his rivals has already found several who are resistant to the curse. I'm on a ship because they appreciate it.

Competition. Only the brave and the unusable are abandoned.

"I'm going to go find 'Group D number four'. I don't know his name. Gender is female, hair color is blue. Judge by that."

"The Teacher Mage," he told the trainees.

"The rest of you go on with your gymnastics. Until I get back. I'll give you a break later... to rehydrate and breathe deeply."

"" "" "Yes" "" "

The trainees on the beach answered with a nodding eye.

After a satisfactory look at it, 'Instructor Mage' snaps.

"The guy who runs away has some resistance to the 'curse' but doesn't obey orders. Those who obey are intolerant. That's a hard one."

"The Teacher Mage," Lord of Vermillion ran out.

─ ─ Leticia Team near Rock Mountain near the Coast (Out of Curse Area (Cancer) Area) ─

Okay, let's get this thing started.

Turning to the people gathered, Leticia said.

This is a rocky mountain close to the coast. The belly. The safe zone taught by the Virgin Delilah.

The extent to which the land's 'curse' affects it is firmly mapped by Nagi, listening to Deliri-La. The error is also calculated and the safety distance is taken. There shouldn't be any impact here.

"Mr. Rafilia. Did you get a message from Mr. Nagi?

"It's 'Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage) - Modified'. He's here."

Rafilia nodded as she hid in the trees that grew in the rocky mountains.

"The masters are waiting about a twenty minute walk from here. If we make a scene, we plan to move."

"Are you ready for Mr. Cutlass?

"It's time to call in Finn!

Cutlass touched the equipped 'Ball's Breast' and closed his eyes.

"Another me, Feen! Ask for an enemy!

"Roger that!

A girl with the same face as Katras, a little longer hair and a different color of eyes, fluttered and appeared.

'Now we're going to look around from the top of the tree. For more information, go to Cutlass!

That being said, Finn kicked the branch lightly and jumped up into the air.

Finn, with a body made of magic, can fly in the sky. I'm good at scouting and snooping.

"Ma, I don't think so."

Finn climbs up to the tallest branch, hiding between the branches and the leaves.

"Ah, you and I have a simple job that just draws their attention. If nothing, Raphilia, how did you get a couple of shots of Fireball? - Oh, my God. Somebody's coming. '

"Abnormal, yes."

Cutlass on the ground turned to Leticia, he said.

"Someone's coming this way," he said. For more information...... Hmm. She's a young girl with blue hair... and she seems very tired, Finn says. "

"Are you armed?

"... he hasn't. Instead, you're not in a state where you can fight. He's pale, he's got his eyes on him, and he's wearing clothes with numbers on them… he's probably a trainee in" Newbie Training "."

That's it, Katras finished his report.

"What are you going to do? Noble daughter."

I heard a voice from Leticia's back.

Leggy the Devil's Sword.

"This team is headed by the Lord."

"The 'trainee' supposedly has fled his rookie training. Let's protect it. You'll grab about the information. Tell Nagi about it, Rafilia."

"I get it."

'Sometimes it can be an operation to make people think they're deserters and attack people who come to explore training? What if it does?

"It is our job to draw attention to each other."

Leticia held the Devil's Sword Leggy.

"If there's a trap, we'll just eat it out of chisel. You'll cooperate, won't you? Mr. Leggy."

"Of course not. Because the Lord has told me to help my noble daughter. I owe you one."

"Fine. Come with me."

Leticia with an invincible grin and Leggy with a sheath.

Meanwhile, Fern continues his reconnaissance on the tree. Katras keeps passing on the information he gets from her.

As per the operation, Rafilia is disappearing. She is a correspondent to Nagi. Because I had trouble staying safe until the end.

"─ Coming."

When Cutlass signaled - from beyond the trees - a girl appeared who could not.

"... ha. Ha... No more, no more. No more flirting..."

A girl rushes in with fluttering legs, tearing the grass apart with her trembling hands.

Sweaty, my hair is blurred. All I'm wearing is simple clothes with a band of cloth. The letter "Group D No. 4" is carefully written in the lower right corner.

The girl kneels on the ground and tries to get up - noticing the presence of Leticia and the others...

"Hih... Hih! Chi, no. I was just trying to drink water... I know I can only drink it for a set amount of time... but my throat, it's already on me..."

"Calm down. We are passing adventurers."

"........................... ah"

"What's your name?

"…… Group D number four… small blue hair…"

The girl said so in a dry voice.

"On breakfast duty, I belong to the third group. Because my voice is small, I do duty three times a week as a punishment... and they make me do it. I really wanted to learn magic, but I wasn't in enough condition to be in that group, so I'm a melee. That's rank e..."

"That's not your name, is it?

Leticia gazes at the girl and asks gently.

"... ah, ah... ah"

"Calm down. No one will blame you, even if you can't put it into words right away"

"Ah, I, adventurer, with"

"Yes."

"Seniors told me that I could be strong if I went on 'newbie training'... but not aptitude. I was even told what you were born for... afraid."

"You can't cancer anymore, can you?"

To Leticia's question, the girl nodded.

Cutlass gives her a water bag. The girl puts her mouth on it as if it were a murmur, and drinks up the water inside. The girl's hands and feet were covered in sand and her skin was rusty.

"... when I'm in that place... it's going to be crazy... what. We're all saying weird things... and that seems normal... and I don't know if I'm going to be able to go back...

... but if we get away with it... even humans will never be able to work again. He said he'd run a bad rumor... but he couldn't hang in there. "

The trainee girl holds her own shoulder and trembles.

"... Me, that's crazy, right? It's funny, it's me, isn't it?

"No. I think you've made the right decision."

Leticia touched the girl's shoulder.

"Even the Adventurer Alliance isn't that stupid. If you're still worried, go to the Harbor Town Adventurer Guild. Lords have just changed over there and they are lively. You don't have to. You'll get a decent job."

"... yes... yes!

The 'Trainee' girl kept kneeling in and began to cry out.

Cutlass speaks to Leticia's ear staring at it.

"... is a report from Feen. The tracker is coming," he said.

"─ Tracker. Could......" Inspiration-Hydra "!?

The 'Trainee' girl screamed unexpectedly.

"'Instructor Mage' said! Those who are unwilling...... those who don't need it say that the 'Inspiration-Hydra' will eat that they show up by the sea! Ow. Ow! Ow!

When the girl screamed - again, the grass swayed.

At the same time, people's voices and footsteps approach.

"Oh, you're an adventurer here. Trouble."

He appeared to be a man wearing a scarlet robe.

Behind it stands nine men and women. Everyone wears the same clothes as the girl. Will they be 'trainees' too? They all have sticks in their hands. The surface of the stick says "Motivational Injection".

Leticia and Cutlass, who instantly understood how to use the stick, open their eyes.

"I should have done a 'favor' to the Adventurers Guild in the Maintenance Land. In order to carry out the" training "sponsored by the Marquis Hillmut in this land, the general public should be kept as close as possible."

"Thank you for your patience."

Leticia stood up and stepped out in front of the girl who escaped 'Trainee'.

"But that's just 'please', isn't it? It's not compulsory, is it?

"Yes, voluntarily. I just 'asked' you to decide to 'stay away' of your own free will. This one's not imposing anything. Like the Trainee."

"... 'Teacher Mage' Lord of Vermillion... sama"

"Hmm?

In the trembling voice of the trainee girl, a man in the robe - the 'Instructor Mage' - saw her.

"I wonder what's wrong," Group D No. 4 ". I wonder if you're tired. If you'd told me, I'd give you a break later, so why are you here? Would you tell me?

"... Hih"

The girl from "Escape Trainee" lags behind.

The words of 'Teacher Mage' are gentle. But my face isn't laughing.

He raised his eyebrows, loosened his lips, and looked like he was going to eat them now.

"Can't you tell me? Too bad." Training to reveal each other's secrets "is done, isn't it? Yet you didn't have enough training time to mumble like that?

"Wow, I... I'll stop. I'm leaving!"

"Ho..."

"... when I got away from the training facility... I couldn't do it... okay. I'm sorry I threw you on the way out."

The girl stood up with fluttering legs and lowered her head deeply.

"I mean. Mutual assistance between adventurers means that this child will take us back to town."

"... didn't you just take the streets?

You said, "Mutual assistance." If an injured adventurer is looking for help, other adventurers have a priority. "

Leticia took the trembling girl's hand.

Next to it, Cutlass moves. Put your shield on your left hand and stand in a position to protect Leticia and the girl.

Both Leticia and Katras stare straight at the 'Teacher Mage'.

I don't move my gaze as much as I can.

Don't let them know where the other two (...) are.

"I will not stand in your way. However, rescue adventurers who have difficulty returning on their own. That's all."

"I've tried to take a nasty qualification exam before, so I know."

Katras took over Leticia's words.

"Qualifications and training are about me," Xing (today) rode! 'So I started,' But I can't get on with Xing already! All you have to do is say "

"Oh, that's a good thing."

"I recently had a" cool line "master."

"Really? The master will surely help us in good time."

"Hehe. You can expect that."

Leticia and Cutlass nod in gaze.

"So now we'll excuse ourselves." "Let's go. With us."

"... Yes"

Leticia and Katras take the 'trainee' girl's hand and back off.

"The Teacher Mage" is grasping something in the back. Behind it, the other 'trainees' are screaming.

"Number four," "Go back to training." "Everybody's waiting." "We've been working so hard together."

With a nosy eye, an emotionless voice, and a stick in your hand.

"You can do it. You can do it." "Together, there's nothing you can't do." "Teacher, the sorcerer says it's tough, but that's what I think of you." "Come on." "Come here."

"Hmm. If that's what Group D is all about, you can't let him get away with number four."

"The Teacher Mage" held the sword in his hand and told him.

"Plus number four seems to have a 'resistance' to the curse - no, a hidden talent. I need to educate you a little bit more and get you to do your part!

"We're all buddies," "I'll wait for you," "Let's go home together," "Go home," "Go home," "Go home!!

"Let's respect your autonomy. I don't need to think about it, either. Number four and finally, those adventurers, too!

"" "" Yes. Master Teacher Mage "" "

Trainees run out to Leticia and Cutlass with sticks in their hands.

Becha.

On his leg (my leg) was found a twisted one.

"Everybody," "Good luck home," "Let's train," "Let's do it," "That," "That."

Zzzzzzzzz.

The trainees fell in unison.

They were focused on capturing the Leticians, not looking at their feet. As it is, it literally solidifies and rolls like one creature, and begins to croak.

"... slime? Stupid! When did you show up!? I didn't see anything like that!?

"Instructor Mage" exclaimed.

"After all, 'Trainees' are not very good at their application."

Leticia sighed.

Previously, she and Katras are fighting the 'post-training' people at the merchant's dollar goal mansion.

It has been confirmed that they are 'vulnerable to irregularities'.

"Thank you for your support."

Leticia and Katras, out of sight of the 'Teacher Mage', thumbed up "Gu".

Raphilia is lurking in the grass in an 'optical camouflage' state. She's the one who released the slime. Between coming here, more slime eating underwear was in the 'Optical Camouflage Cloak' with Rafilia. They appeared at the same time as the trainees rushed out and shrugged their legs as a 'blister when touched'.

"Useless people. Enough, you guys are just a source of magic!

"The Teacher Mage" shook up his sword and shouted.

"'Summon', 'Servant', 'Use the magic taken from trainees', 'Come to this land with disease and devour my enemies'!

"It's summoning magic, so wow! Something's coming!

At the same time Rafilia's voice echoed, the grass behind "The Teacher Mage" shed light.

"Come 'Inspired Hydra'!!

The ground rocked.

From among the trees, something big was about to rise.

"Huiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!

Snakes with multiple heads, screamed.

It's about three times the size of an adult. If it were a nagi, I'd say less than four meters.

The body is as transparent as a crystal. There was a sound of grass scrubbing the glass, and Leticia and Cutlass accidentally blushed.

Of that creature that rose, there are five heads. The shape is a snake. He stretches out his long tongue, giddles, and looks around. And deep red crystals in my head. It's sucking up something like glowing particles from fallen 'trainees'.

"This is the demon... inspired by Hydra?

"I've never seen a creature of Hydra descent before. Do you seem so strong?"

"No, it's Zako compared to what Master and Cecil defeated."

It's a boring enemy, such as summoning people like this. Puddle '

The voices of Lafilia and Leggy overlap with those of Leticia and Cutlass.

"" Oh, can you defeat me with 'chisel'? Then it's easy to win. ""

Leticia and Katras, who were convinced of something, set up their own weapons.

"If you can't capture deserters and intruders, this is it, they say. After I disable you and throw you into the land of the Curse, let me find out who you are."

"" Flame Arrow "is awesome!

"It's activated!" Stretch Spear Fetra "!

Rafilia's voice and 'Arrow of Fire' flew from the grass where no one was.

Plus Katras stretched his spear toward 'Inspirational Hydra' all at once. The tip flies out like a bullet and flies with demons in mind.

But...

Pfft. Kaki.

"Huh, it's no use! That Hydra is a monster with a hard body. Skin (hifu) and meat have been transformed with crystals."

"That's a physical defense. It seems to be recognized as skin and meat."

"That crystal is absorbing magic. So you should think of that as the motivation."

"... and I told the master that the operation was here."

'Then do it! Elf, my daughter!

People with cheat skills are used to it.

The Leticia team, which has done the analysis as it were, moves out.

Leticia and Katras have the weapon in their hands, heading towards the 'Instructor Mage'.

And Rafilia unlocked 'Optical Camouflage' and put up a bow.

"Abominable - you are the Lord of the Voice."

"We'll talk later because we're in a hurry. Activate!" Heavy Rain Archery "plus" Physical Penetrator "!!

Hi-yun.

Five arrows unleashed by Rafilia flew through the universe.

"That magic crystal! Let me break it all at once!

"I don't know. That skin and meat is hardened. Something you can pierce with an arrow like that!

"Skin and meat don't penetrate."

Flipping the "Optical Camouflage Cloak," Rafilia decided "Cool Pose".

"Just ignore it."

Saku.

An arrow given the 'body penetration' effect plunged into the head of 'Inspirational Hydra'.

"Magic Crystal," the arrow pierced.

Psst.

The crystals are shattered. Five, at the top.

"Hiaaaaaaaaa"

"Inspirational Hydra" 's body collapsed.

The sound of the glass smashing echoes. It sounded flashy.

This would have sounded to the seaside. With that in mind, the Leticians nod.

Their aim is' to draw the attention of the people in the training venue ', and the results are sufficient.

"All you have to do is get this girl somewhere safe."

"Yes it is. It was tough, wasn't it, a desertion trainee? Please rub it on my back."

"I gave the Master the information about the sorcerer. According to Cecil's analysis, he has the ability to manipulate magic at will."

"Is it that power that sucked the magic out of the trainees? Hmm. '

Leticia laid her sword toward the 'Teacher Mage'.

Lend a shoulder to Cutlass and the 'escape trainee' girl,

Rafilia takes an alert stance behind Leticia as she talks to Leggy.

"I'll keep my back. Mr. Katras took the child to safety."

"What the hell are you guys!

"Instructor Mage" exclaimed.

"This can't happen! I was recognized by the Marquis and I am a" training "instructor... and I can't catch deserters, etc.!!

"You have a stiff head! There are things in the world that you can't even predict!

Leticia pulled out the Devil's Sword Leggy.

"'Reinforce', 'Both Legs', 'Accelerate' - I'll get you!

"Instructor Mage" chants a spell and kicks the ground. His legs emit light.

"Just like Master and Cecil analyzed! This man has a chisel that gathers magic into parts of his body and 'enhances' it!

"I understand! I intercept!

"I'm covering for you." Flame Wall "!"

Rafilia screams, and a burning wall is created before the 'Teacher Mage'.

But...

"'Enhancement'!" Resist Rise "" Fire Resistant "!! Concentrate your magic on The Sword!

"The Teacher Mage" waved his sword and tore the "wall of flames" apart.

"─ Focus your magic on weapons to enhance? Did you kill the magic?

"Because of this ability, I am given the role of instructor!!

More 'Instructor Mage' waves his sword.

With a magical sword, wipe away the flaming walls and flesh thin (garlic) onto Leticia.

"You can't fail to be a brave man! Ready!!"

"If you're a brave man, say hello! Activate 'Manor Gears'!!

Hello! I would like to greet you - - Eh!!

Leticia bows her head lightly to the 'Instructor Mage' who has broken through the wall of flames.

Forced Courtesy (Manor Gears) is a forced greeting back to the person who greeted you.

But...

"… O, my body greets me back on its own, then…… 'Inject all magic into resist level rise'!!

Grrr. Grrr.

The whole body of "The Teacher Mage" sheds light.

He stays stiff with his sword in his hand. With your torso slightly tilted, stop.

"" Resist "" Mandatory Courtesy "(is that right) (So, there is) (then)!?

"If you can't move, it's the same thing! Go!"

Leticia waved 'The Devil's Sword Leggy'.

"─ ─ Chi!!

"Instructor Mage" flies back.

The "Demon Sword Leggy" blade only had a small scratch on his arm.

"... I won't allow it. You scratched me. Get rid of the ultimate magic!

"Not good... my aristocratic daughter"

In Leticia's hand, Leggy the Devil's Sword shook.

"Just now, when I cut off his arm, I activated Condition Changer." But he's gaining resistance (resist) with full magic. Because of that, Roulette got all skunky too. It only had the weakest effect... '

"It just worked. So, what's the effect?

"Sneeze."

"Let's go!" Concentrate all my residual magic "," Enlarge my right arm, destroy the hammer "," More flames and black smoke "- cum!!

The chant broke, and the magic gathered by the Teacher Mage splashed.

"Hey, what the hell is this? Awwwwww!

"The Teacher Mage" held his mouth.

"Ku, I can't stop sneezing. This nonsense makes my magic!?

"It's no good chanting magic in that state."

"Shut up! You guys, all of you--kushuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

Flipping a scarlet robe, the Teacher Mage raised his arms to heaven.

"'Come on, heck'! ─ ─" Sky Rikushin Destroying Hammer Kushin "!" Horobikushin "! Yes! When this happens, activate it with a quick mouth. 'Concentrate my residual magic on your right arm, give it to your enemies and give it ashes. Thou Spirit, be good, be good!!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The magic of "Teacher Mage" broke out.

The magic that lost its way in an incomplete chant winds a vortex and blows up a Scarlet Robe sorcerer.

The sorcerer rolled down the ground and hit the roots of the trees and stopped.

"... this... stupid... kushi-kun"

"The Teacher Mage" stayed put, losing his mind.

"... chanting (eh) is dangerous if you don't do it accurately. Especially giant magic."

"... for now, this guy, you're going to tie him up"

"... I'll try to get my maid daughter to do something about her memory later"

Rafilia takes out the rope and Leticia quickly sticks the sorcerer to the tree.

"... what the hell... you guys aren't trained... aren't you...?

"Escape Trainee" girl flaunted every series of pieces.

Physical tremors have stopped already.

Clinging to Cutlass's back, the girl was just, pompous, mouthing.

"I hope you don't mind what just happened."

To the girl in "Escape Trainee," Katras asks.

"We're just passing through. I helped you because you wanted freedom. That's fine."

I'll take you somewhere safe.

Fern, coming down from the air, lines up next to the girl.

At the same time, Finn reports to Katras.

'Trainees' and instructor-like people are gathering on the coast. The environment for activating the second phase of the operation is in place.

"And then, what's next?"

"We're here to support you."

The role of the Cutlass remains.

Anyway, let's leave this place and move to a safe place.

"... oh, you guys, what the hell...?

A 'desertion trainee' girl hung up on Cutlass's back.

"We're just passing by, yes."

That's what I said, Katras laughed.

"We're just doing what we want. I just wish this world could be a bit nicer."

"We couldn't do it until a little while ago."

"... what is it..."

"So you don't have to worry. Now take your time, you should rest."

Cutlass laughs at the girl on her back.

"Calm down... if I can remember my name... it would be helpful if you could just tell me a little bit about the situation. That's why you're so valuable to us."
