August 29, 7451

……

Beyond the telescope, Tris and the other trainees are walking in unison.

The distance to them is over 200 meters.

I made a telescope so far away that I could clearly see the stupid side of my tongue.

After all, his maximum telephoto is about eight times smaller.

... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I know binoculars are much smaller than this one, and they can zoom in even more.

"I'm still working hard on this..."

And so, in the morning, Tris and Rocco break their legs, and they cure it with the magic cure called Healing Potion.

But it was just a healing potion.

Perhaps the fractured part was healed instantly... "

You still have a lot of pain left.

The evidence is accompanied by a crutch for both of them.

Well, I broke only the bone cleanly, so I didn't break the fracture that would leave a trauma, so there would be no functional hindrance to walking.

It just hurts where it broke.

You can even run and fight if you can endure severe pain.

If you can endure it.

But in that case, I don't have to break my arm or my shoulder.

The speed is... 500-600m in the eye count.

Now it's in the woods of Mount Belos, so if you get off the mountain and go out onto the undulating path, you'll be twice as fast.

Down the mountain from where I am now, until I leave the forest.

There is a checkpoint next to it.

From there it was roughly fifteen kilometers to the Knights' headquarters.

However, only seven to eight kilometers after the last checkpoint to the west of Mead Village was in the street part.

And the time limit is now exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, so there are twenty-two hours left.

At this pace, it's a little slow, but it depends on how fast you can get through the woods and tear down the meadows, which are more or less scaffolded.

If you can get around as fast as the street, or if you can get around the street faster, you can afford to take a little break... that's like Vince got a kick out of it.

If I twisted my ankle and sprained it... it looks like I got up right away and it looks okay.

But the foothold doesn't look so bad, as you can see.

Then you're exhausted.

In addition, there are many other people who have become frustrated, mainly women.

Now, let's set it up.



The sunset was almost invisible, and even as sunset approached, the trainees had not yet been able to leave the forest.

"How long does this forest last..."

The gel seems blurry, but no one reacts.

Not everyone has the same idea about this line.

The evidence is that the gradient has barely been felt since a short while ago, and it is thought that it will not take much left to get out of the forest.

"Almost there... let's do our best"

Daenic says in a dazed voice.

Sometimes I was appointed captain of the battle team, but even then, I thought I had to cheer everyone up.

Among the active knights participating, there may be a reason for being older.

"Oh, shit, the sun's going down..."

Rocco said as he warped his face.

Everyone unexpectedly lifted their faces toward the sun.

Emily Ramirez, do you understand what Emily Cainestan is saying?

Ah?

In Kim's words, the gel makes a foolish face.

"I can tell the sun is going down, that means the sun can be seen between the ground and the lower branches."

As Kim says, the sun that is about to set now looks even lower than the branches of the trees.

"So what?"

It's dull. The descent is almost over.

"How do you know? It might be so downhill that you don't feel it."

"That's why you're such an idiot." If you don't feel it, it's already down the mountain with you, right? and..... "

And what?

Kim keeps saying, thinking that she's not supposed to throw it out here, even though it's a billion dollars to talk to.

"The fact that the sun looks lower than the lower branches... it's okay to see that there are no trees growing lower than this on that side anymore..."

Kim's words pointing to the west when the sun goes down are not wrong.

However, there were some parts that were a little bit painful.

Even if we assume that this place is still in the middle of Mount Belos, the altitude of the place where the western trees are growing is no different from this place.

If this was the front where the sun was seen to set, it would be satisfactory if the sun were to be seen at sunset, saying, "The altitude is not much different from the flat land anymore."

Some people had noticed the contradiction in Kim's words, but it was too much, so they said, "If Kim's words are enough for Gel to shut up, that's enough. It's a shame to speak too much."

Oh, I see!

As expected, Gel seemed to be convinced by Kim's words, and made a slightly energetic voice.

even though you've taken so much classroom studies... you haven't changed much.

Tris sighs as she warps her face in pain.

It is unclear whether the target of "unchanged" is Rocco, gel, or both, but perhaps it is the gel.

--It must have been a little easier when the downhill was over.

While the painful fracture area was reduced, the sides and arms that pierced the crutches had already accumulated considerable pain and fatigue.

However, the closer to the ground, the more exhausting it seemed.

Of course, after using the cane, it didn't go as usual, but it was still much easier.

"For this..."

"MEYE DENIC. Battle Captain"

Tris called out thoughtfully to his current combat captain, Dainick.

"I'm sorry, it's a little easier now that the downhill is over." I think you can take care of it even if you return the luggage. "

"I'm just a little worried about Tris' opinions..."

No, I'll stay here until the next instructor change (checkpoint).

I looked around at everyone's faces and said it completely.

Checkpoints are established for each defined distance (depending on the road surface, course, and troop conditions, but in a healthy body without luggage, the distance is about four to five hours), and the accompanying instructors and inspectors change each time they reach it, and they are ahead of the course or slowly resting or camping.

If his current location is correct, he should have broken the forest and reached the checkpoint in less than a mile.

But Dainick didn't want to stop everyone's march right now to exchange or refill their bags.

If you go here and stop your legs, there may be people who can get in there.

"W-What a... big deal..."

"Yeah... totally..."

To observe the training, the head of the Knights of Ellers and the head of the Knights of Dressler, who were accompanying him a short distance away, exchanged words without a breath.

"In this... situation... I'm still trying to be calm... to judge..."

"I want my knights... to leave..."

"I-it's true... but, uh... Karos... Taran... and... Kainestan..."

"You said you... broke... your legs... but... you're such... men..."

At a speed of less than a mile an hour, the leaders of the Knights' Corps were mostly dressed as one at a very slow speed, but their faces were as fatigued as the trainees.

"S-So... with Lord Greedo......"

”There's just... a dangerous... adventure...”

Here, when they stopped a little, they rendezvoused with the instructor Lord Valute, who was following them from the rear. When they received the water bag, they each drank a glass of water to make them feel comfortable.

"But... but... what is this training...?"

”I... need to... do this... so far...”

Not only do they serve as commanders in the Dart Plains Township Knights, but they also have a wealth of experience in taking down monsters, as well as direct combat.

In addition, since I am also in a position to manage the backfiring forces if I become inferior in battle with the Daybus Kingdom, I have been training more than the knights in other territories of the Lombard Kingdom.

Everyone had a lot of confidence, both in their arms and in their strength.

However, as soon as Emy's intended training began, the armor naturally stopped carrying any packages until it was armed and even a water bottle.

Still considering the age, the mere fact that we are here about this training to break the path in the mountains and forests is probably not just a decorative knight commander.

Even if you can get a good rest and sleep every few hours, if you don't keep training regularly, you will be stuck for half a day.

Well, let's go.

Knight commanders on their knees, carrying a backpack packed with emergency response healing potions and food, walked out with a firmer footstep than anyone else on the scene.



Right now, I'm at the checkpoint, just beside Marie, who's waiting to brush her horse.

A little further away, they set a kindling on fire, and next to it, they set up a pole with a flag that was two meters high to mark the checkpoint.

There was also the leader of the Knights of Count Lancel.

"Tch, are you still there..."

I thought it was time for me to come out of the woods and use the magic of Detect Life.

The sun has long since set, but the light of the moon is close to darkness where the lights of the bonfire cannot be reached.

I couldn't see much more than a few dozen meters away.

As a result of the sorcery, they were already out of the forest.

Even though it is the shortest distance to come directly south from this place, it is still a long way from coming out to the east for more than 200m.

Well, that wasn't much of a problem because it was assumed.

Sometimes it's hot, so I'm already taking off my top half.

I used the magic of invisibility to make my whole body transparent, and quickly took off my underwear with my pants and put it by my luggage.

"Here we go. I'm coming."

"Eh!?"

Marie looked back at my voice, but I couldn't see her, so I panicked a little.

"This way. Bye."

When I said that, I moved a little southeast while being careful not to make as much noise as possible.

In fact, the mines surround the checkpoint from east to south and from west to semi-circle.

Of course, it wasn't capable of killing.

Well, it was a practice simulated mine.



The trainees finally escaped the woods of the Dart Plains and found a flame that looked like a checkpoint far away.

The heads of the knights who accompanied him breathed out in relief, looking at the lights.

Battle Captain, check your location!

Daenick shouted as loudly as he could to the life of Lord Valute, who had been his instructor. ”he replied.

The trainees quickly assembled and spread the map.

A moonlight of this magnitude is enough for anybody to see a map.

"Isn't that the checkpoint? What's the distance...?"

Combatant Captain Dennick stood up on one knee, took off his gloves, reached for the fire, and lifted his index finger as he closed one eye.

Everyone stretches out their hands in the same way when they see it.

However, the fingers that some people put up are not exactly the same as their thumbs or their little fingers.

"Um, the flag is two meters tall..."

With that voice, as I remembered, I laid my fingers on my side, which everyone had stood up to.

"I don't know. It looks smaller than half."

It's dark, and it's hard to see.

About a quarter?

”Um, four divides... two meters, so three times... 60”

"Hey, why would that happen?"

"Huh? I think it was the ranging this morning..."

"It was a carriage, and my finger was my thumb." Things are totally different this morning, aren't they? "

"Emily Ramirez is as stupid as ever. How many 2m into 4m should I think about? Eight

"You're hanging it, right? That's... splitting it." The answer to that calculation is two. "

”Hah... how much of the width of your fingers do you guys have?”

I don't know.

--Ha. If I could use the [Scale], it would be one shot.

Sighing, Tris thought, and looked at Paul with his pinky fingers lying down with one eye twitching.

"My little finger looks about half the height of a pole." If the height of the pole is 2m... it's about 240m up there. "

Some of the trainees spoke the same words as Tris did.

"I wonder if it's 240m... the checkpoint out of the forest is on my left hand. Is it around here?"

There is no objection to Loric's words pointing to a single point on the map.

“Meee! Sir, this is where we are!”

Dainick points to Loric's guess and answers.

"Hmm. Mee Dainick. You tell me why."

“Emee, can you see the checkpoint pole next to the kindling over there?”

"... I can see it."

"That pole is two meters tall. From here, it's half the width of the little finger from the ground to the top of the pole. Therefore, if the height is double, it is just the width of the little finger. Then the formula is true. It's 240 meters by 60 times!"

"... Very well. Head to the checkpoint."

MEEE!

Everyone stood up, dragging their fatigued legs to the checkpoint.

……

…………

………………

It happens when you get pretty close to the checkpoint.



I want to see their stupid side as close as possible, leaving only my shoes and making my whole body transparent and lurking in the grass.

The sun is falling, but it's still summer, and it's not cold.

... a little more.

I was just about to get caught.

It looks like an 80-type anti-personnel mine that was painstakingly built.

If the tensile wire is caught in a loose state and the fuse breaks out, it will jump up about 2 meters from the place where it was installed and burst.

Well, this exercise should be called a mine, so it won't burst.

But when the landmine jumps up in place of it, it says, "Bon!" I'm going to threaten you. "

Even if it's a water-based system, using offensive magic can be a fine hostile action, and transparency (invisibility) will be disabled.

Whoa, time's up.

There was still some distance left, so let's try transparency again.

Nhihihi.

"I wonder if I can scratch you quickly..."

Although the idiot caught walking in the front did not determine that he was killed in battle, I intend to make a serious injury judgment that he cannot move on his own.

The weight of each person here plus the weight of the luggage that he is responsible for will be added to the troops.

I gently stretched my torso and looked at the walking trainees.

These guys are always acting like ghosts with a bad economic and shameful face.

It's not hard to imagine what I would have been like last year.

Both Tris and Rocco seemed to have completely broken their hearts.

It looked terrible to have crutches on.

It was led by Lord Galain, a male orthodox knight of the Knights' Tigers (Tiger Man).

It's a big figure, and it's got a lot of strength, and it always looked confident, but it got really small.

However, that big figure will make a good heavy object.

Almost there.

What kind of face will you show me?

Pupupupup.

It is not possible to cross the tensile wire because the leg is being pulled.

"Stop!"

Someone yells.

Sir Galayne stopped moving in a jolt.

I stopped using it.

“Emily Garrain, look at your feet without moving on.”

And, Tris!?

How did you find out?

No way, that bastard, infrared vision!?

No, infrared vision only looks at the temperature difference.

Was it moonlight or shadow?

It's not like there's a road without grass.

"What the hell is this...?"

Galain's son of a bitch crouches slowly.

Everyone approached him and began to observe his feet.

"Look at that. The grass is falling down in a weird way, right?"

Hmm. Tensile lines can only be pulled in straight lines, and even if you are careful not to stand out, you can still make those parts.

"Were you looking at that..."

If I hadn't noticed the presence of mines and traps, or assumed that there was one, I wouldn't have observed it...

"What? Like this thread?"

"This is... a [landmine]!? You've noticed it, Mee Kalostaran."

Loric seemed to have noticed who he was.

"I don't know if it's a 'mine' until I follow the line..."

Sure is.

It wasn't a tensile wire, but there was a trap in Balduk's labyrinth that fired a crossbow.

Shit... shit...

Strangely regrettable.

But I'm glad.

It's Al-san, isn't it?

Tris said in an unpleasant voice.

Oh, shit.

"If you ask me... yes." I can't feel safe at the checkpoint. "

Loric doesn't even nod.

What kind of "right" is that? You guys usually look at me that way.

You son of a bitch.

Did you do it in a class called 'Landmines'?

That's right. It's definitely a dangerous person who scatters metal pieces with [gunpowder].

"Oh, I remember. General, it's not that dangerous..."

"No way. The leader of the regiment... couldn't possibly do such a dangerous thing..."

"It's okay to do that..."

"I'm sure Al would do it..."

Oh, shit!

Damn it!

Look, everybody, just say whatever you want!

"Let's get over it with caution."

"Oh, Mee Galain, be careful, okay?" It's highly likely that she's set up another one before she has stepped over it.

Peel!

Tris! Tris! Tris!

My pleasure has been interrupted. It's a heavy sin!

Ah, if that's the case, it's time to build the right pressure-operated Type 67 anti-personnel mine!

"But, it's too much trouble to bury it..."

I also needed to keep a good record of where I buried them.

"Ah!?"

Mm-hmm?

Why are you looking at me?

"Wow!"

Captain!?

Hah!?

Perhaps your feelings just turned into hostility?

Transparency is unraveling!

Fufufu

A strange voice came out.

Crouch while hiding your crotch, calm your mind and use Invisibility magic again.

Success.

Ugh, uwahhhh!

I've been seen, Mizue!

I ran back to where I had put my clothes in the dash.

Although there was moonlight, it was quite dark, and there was a lot of distance.

I don't want to know the details.



August 30, 7451

Noon.

Although the Tris trainees were close to the deadline, they returned to the Knights' headquarters safely.

Since I had contacted them in advance, not only the knights and servants, but also their families and relatives lined up in front of the main gate to welcome the return of the brave.

I greeted you with full armaments, just like the Commander of the Knights.

"Mee Dainick. Congratulations on completing your training." Well done. I want you to wear this emblem from today. "

I'm going to hang a large ribbon with an Emily badge around Dainick's neck.

Meee! Thank you!

I'll call out to each of you and give you a medal.

And finally, stand in front of Tris.

"Congratulations on completing your training, Mee Karostaran." Well done, you've overcome a great test. It's a big deal, and I want you to wear this badge from today. ”

Meee! Thank you!

Hmm. I'll see you in Executive Emui Training next time!

"Huh...?"

Last time I saw this face, I decided to dump everything I found on my mine last night.

Executives' MEE training is true, but next year, next year.

The second time.

I'm not even a demon enough to throw a human in this state into the 1st Lieutenant MEE Training, which starts tomorrow.
