The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Pauvina was being beaten while Vandaloo was undergoing physical fitness training.

"Hey!"

A training mace hit a shield in Pauvina's army, wrapped in layers of cloth on a tree she had shaken.

"Ei"

"Ah ah ah ah !?"

The next moment, however, Pauvina protruded his shield and his classmate blew backwards and fell.

"I have good momentum, but I need to be in a better position. There are many opportunities. Next!"

"Yes, yes!"

This time a student with a rounded wooden spear hangs over Pauvina. He pulls out quickly, but is all prevented by the shield of Pauvina.

"Nara!"

A quick, but light, thrust into Pauvina's face, and the next time she raises her shield to protect her face, she spears into her leg.

The spear struck the instep of Pauvina's feet with a rather heavy noise.

"Did you do it?"

The next moment, however, he flew away in the swing of Pauvina's shield.

"Oh, it's good to aim at my feet against someone with a physique difference like me! But I think I should have aimed at my fingers, not my insteps!

"Ha ha ha"

A spear-student student who gets up and down. Then, instead of him, a girl student with a wooden sword and shield goes out and heads for Pauvina's opponent.

It's like a teacher and a student, though they should be students.

"... Thanks to one more instructor, training has become easier."

"Can we get the tuition from her?"

And the instructors who trained Pauvina originally trained another group of students.

Even in the classrooms of Pauvina and the freshmen who have achieved the highest grades in the examinations, the first training they take is still aimed at improving their basic physical fitness.

As your level goes up, your physical strength will increase. However, when the physical ability is high, the ability value increases better than when the physical ability is low.

Even at the same [Apprentice Warrior] Job 100 level, if you compare the strength with the muscular macho and the loose-looking roses, the macho has a higher win rate.

In addition, one of the objectives of this training is to show each student's ability to teachers and students. This is useful when selecting a party to be used for a party during the training, or as a reference for strategies during the training.

But, to a lesser degree than Vandaloo, Pauvina is far too far behind other students. And she's not as sloppy as Vandaloo.

I'm confident I won't kill, but I'm not sure if I make mistakes and break some bones. In particular, her specialty is clubs. It is important if the skull breaks on your head.

… Naturally, the school has a healing magician stationed in case of an accident during training, and the students wear protective gear in the first place. In addition, the students in the classroom at Pauvina are those who have already experienced job changes more than once.

They are boys and girls in their early teens, but they are actually stronger than guards. Naturally, its body is much tougher and stronger than ordinary people.

However, from Pauvina, those students are also in a weak category. For this reason, she decided to use only [Shielding] without choosing a weapon, and to attack only by lightly hitting the shield without using martial arts.

Still, it's reasonable to say that she changed from a student to an instructor.

"I'm sorry, but I can't help. She's a student."

"That's right ... can we tell her something? Look at that movement, it's definitely stronger than us."

"That's true. And it's not just tired, it doesn't hold your breath ... this isn't a decade, it's a hundred years ... maybe a millennial genius."

The reason why the instructors did not challenge the students unlike Vandaloo is that the instructors in charge of training in the classroom in Pauvina are more skilled than those in charge of training in the classroom in Vandalu.

Instructors at ordinary adventurer schools often re-employ those who have the usual behavior and good personality among the largest number of D-class adventurers among adventurers.

However, here is a hero prep school. Graduates are not only expected to survive as adventurers, but are also expected to become more than class C adventurers, who require a certain amount of talent or extraordinary effort to reach.

For this reason, instructors at the Heroes Preparatory School are basically adventurers of class C or higher, or ex-knights or sorcerers of the magician guild who have been evaluated as having the equivalent ability.

Among them, many instructors in charge of students who have entered with excellent grades, such as Pauvina, are former B-class adventurers.

As a result, she was able to gain some insight into her ability from Pauvina's movements and quickly determine that it was unpleasant if she was on her side.

"Fu, fufufu, truly like Paulina."

By the way, Reinhardt, who belongs to the same classroom, was already crawling on the ground with breathlessness.

There are two new students who are stronger than the instructor. The news spread throughout the school during the lunch break. "Students stronger than instructors" have always been present. However, most of them are students who have grown and passed the instructor while in school, and there are only a few students who have just entered and are stronger than the instructor.

And Vandaloo, who ran a mock battle on behalf of several instructors and students, stood intact until all of them were exhausted, and Pauvina who admitted to train rather than train their instructors before fighting Was like a student for the first time.

"As a former class A adventurer's teacher, should we abuse the former class C and former class B instructors who lost to their students as" dirty school "?

Meorilis with his arms crossed asked Randolph, who went to the principal's office to report.

"Don't ask me anything I couldn't imagine. Aside from Pauvina, Vandaloo simply showed her part."

"Certainly, I heard that Vandaluu was active in a monster runaway in the Duke of Al Krem, but you're wary. There was something more than that.

But it's not good that the current situation continues. ''

I am pleased that the excellent students are active as the principal. However, it is not good to hear rumors that the instructors employed at school are weak. For Meorilis and for them.

"Whether to rework the curriculum. For the time being, we will treat it as self-learning and let the students who want to be trained feel free to do so, but let the two in question talk and consider."

"In other words, does Vandaloo and Pauvina look at the training of other students, but it's just a form of competing with each other? ... What about this as an educator?"

"I know I'm sorry, but I can't help it, unless a more skilled instructor grows from the ground."

It is difficult to raise the level of instructors any more. As an instructor teaching students, leadership must be given priority over pure combat skills. In addition, some advanced adventurers have retired from active duty as adventurers, but some have noble leadership and escorts, some have marriage relationships with nobles, and some have commenced business. For this reason, if you do not find value in teaching undergraduates, you will not get a job at a hero prep school.

Also, the salaries of the hero prep instructors are higher than those of regular adventurer school teachers, but still lower than the average income of active C-class adventurers.

"Wouldn't a great teacher with no previous history be able to deal with two people?"

"Please excuse me."

In Meorilis's words, Randolph, working under the pseudonym of Dandlip, shook his head.

"Pauvina manages, but Vandaloo has no idea. It looks weak, but the inside is a monster."

Randolph, who had guessed the ability of the two from his usual training, decided so. Pauvina is still within common sense for him. If you play yourself seriously, you can win one-on-one. In a mock battle, you may be taught as an instructor.

However, Vandaloo is unpredictable.

"Is that so ... what if I compared it?"

"A monstrous monster whose acting ability is terribly inferior, and whose only acting ability is bad, pretends to be a human with a toy weapon.

"... It's an apprehension that I'm going to let my students go. What about the students in the same classroom?"

If you're too afraid, you might just want to screw yourself up to another classroom, or at least a higher grade. Meorilis asked, but Randolph's answer was surprising.

"By the end of the training, everyone, including the other instructors, had turned their eyes on respect. No one was afraid of him."

"I can't imagine it from your rating."

"In the eyes of students and other instructors, he should look just like a 'genius.' Not a student who can't be an instructor, isn't he the first time?

And in the case of Vandaloo, he has a reputation. A skilled tamer who saved the duke of Al Krem from a runaway dungeon, his mother was the hero who sealed the evil god. And it's something Kanako-sensei admits. It is different from an ordinary freshman. ''

Ordinary freshmen are not heroes, even if they are excellent before entering the hero prep school. However, Vandaloo is a student who has entered a hero prep school since becoming a hero.

Indeed, Meorilis thought that it would be natural for students in the same classroom to measure him on a different scale than he did.

"I see ... aside from Dr. Kanako, I understand your opinion."

"And so did Pauvina, but he was good at teaching. Instead of just killing him, he gave his advice on what to do after comforting him ... but that would have hurt the instructors' pride. "

"... I want to hire you as an instructor right now."

"Please reconsider. You have to escape."

"That's how it's going to be practiced a week, or six days later. I'd feel like he'll be able to capture it easily in a dungeon managed by our school."

The dungeon owned and managed by the Heroes Preparatory School for practical training is a difficult dungeon for students to capture in the lower floors and below. However, if you're in Vandalu or Pauvina, you may be able to take a stroll as if you were going to Noyama.

"It won't be for the time being."

But Randolph did so. Because--

"The first training students receive is to go down to three levels under the supervision of the instructor and experience how to dismantle monsters, camp in dungeons, and take a break.

At the moment they have not fallen out of class or training. Then you wouldn't go down below four levels. ''

At that time, it was lunch break, so Pauvina took Alexander in one hand with Vandalu and stared at him for a while ...

Alex encountered a plausible excuse, still sweating cold.

"When I went to see the rumored freshman, I knew you were doing better than I expected and I was pressured. If you looked suspicious, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that."

Vandalu, who had heard it in Pauvina's arms, thought it was suspicious. A very upset attitude, such as sweating cold in the spring. I'm trying to keep my gaze away from here, and my voice is rising.

There are two of his party members around, looking up stunned.

Tipras taught her that the black-haired boy was a two-way robin and the maroon-haired half-elf girl was the magician Annabel.

"That's right. I was surprised because it looked weird."

"Oh, I'm really sorry."

"Yeah, that's fine.

Alex's usual excuse, plus the sight of Pauvina, but nothing was done, ended the second contact between Vandaloo and Alex without incident.

"By the way, I didn't try to turn my eyes on me. Did you own a unique skill with a demon eye, and watched it return to me with [Root]? Then you're getting information from someone. "

In the arms of Pauvina, who walks down the hallway with a light and easy step, Vandaloo says so and tilts his head in the opposite direction.

"That's right. Well, but I guess that's because I didn't even know about Van?"

"I don't think it was. I went in front of me, and I was staring at him while I was talking."

"... I guess it looks like a doll or something?"

Vandalou, who was told by Pauvina, looked back at how he looked objectively. Then, in the arms of a giant girl, three meters tall, imagine yourself in silence as if you relaxed from your whole body with the habit of being held by someone.

"... I might have had to introduce myself."

Around the same time, Alex was pointed out again by Robin pointing out the same thing as before.

After school, Vandaloo offered to meet outside the school to do special training to train the Elizabeths and foster friendship with them.

If you are serious, you can easily accomplish the training and the tasks, but that does not help Elizabeth themselves. Therefore, he knew that Alex needed to improve her skills to keep her nose.

"What should we do as a special training? We can only enter dungeons managed by the school."

"In addition, the young lady has a variety of plans even after returning to the mansion. If I use too much physical strength and time, it will hinder me."

Elizabeth is skeptical of the effects of the special training proposed by Vandaloo, and Mahalia cares about the schedule.

"Okay, let's listen to Elizabeth and Mahalia, and we'll hear him. It looks amazing in today's training, right?"

"I'm interested in the opinion of the rumored" Genius Tamer ... "

"Because we have to catch up and overtake Alex, we need special training, Elizabeth!"

"Yes, that's right! It's a special training!"

Conversely, Zona and three boys are willing to take a special training. By the way, the name is Makto Hamilton, the spear servant among the three. Torus Zets is a fat shield. Youzef Katalonis is a magician wearing glasses. They are the third son of Baron Hamilton, the third son of Baron Zets, and the fourth son of Baron Catalonis.

"Thank you, seniors."

Zona aside, Vandaloo felt surprised at the reaction of the Maktos who had been intensely anxious about their behavior since yesterday, and at the same time felt that the three might be good people.

He said that the education he received as being born as an aristocracy increased his discriminatory consciousness for the commoners, and his roots may not be so bad. If so, it seems that he was quite arrogant before he realized that he knew all of them just by hearing the weaknesses at first. I reflected on that.

…… The attitude of the Maktos has become extremely friendly to Vandalu because their parents have ordered them to explore the trends of Vandalu who joined and get some information.

"Now I'll show you how to do the special training. First, go out of Orbaum. There's a simple way to fight for monsters that my friends will drive out to capture the monsters."

The special training that Vandaloo considered was as simple as "if you can't get into a dungeon or a magical world, you can drive a demon out of a dungeon or a magical world."

By fighting Elizabeth with affordable demons that have been hunted down, you can gain practical experience, and at the same time, grasp their current abilities and use them for future special training.

Just two birds with one stone.

"I see, then ... but I wonder if I can catch up with Alex."

But Elizabeth and others misunderstood. It is a special lesson that Vandaloo's friends and colleagues "weak" in advance, and stabs the monsters they have driven.

"Isn't that good, Elizabeth! I'm worried that my level hasn't improved very much recently, so let's make it easier and earn more experience here to raise the level!"

"Yes, Elizabeth-sama! He's going to set you up!"

But Zona and others are reluctant.

"I think there is a way of thinking that you can improve your skills after overcoming growth barriers."

And Mahalia argued conservatively, so Elizabeth acknowledged that he would take a special training, saying "I understand," with everyone backing.

"Wow ah !?"

"Come on, Torus-sama, don't escape the shield !?"

"I haven't heard it! It's a lot and it's not weak at all!"

"... Did you say you weakened me?"

"" "Bugyoooooooooooooo!" "

Vandalu's friend ... The orcs, the pig-headed human monsters that Arthur has driven from the evil spirit, are following Elizabeth with enthusiasm.

"Hmm ... I thought they were affordable, but were they heavy?"

"What a surprise, you're just running away. If you calm down, you should recover."

"That's right. It's just an oak, only seven in number. Even if you remove Mr. Vandaloo, there is only one more."

Arthur and his colleagues were contacted by Vandaloo, and hunted down seven orcs from a nearby magical area and passed through Gufadogan's Transfer Gate. And they also transferred to the shadows near the Vandaloos at [Transition Gate], and guided the orcs toward them.

From the perspective of Elizabeth and others, it's natural to be upset, as an horde of orcs suddenly emerges from behind and attacks.

However, from Arthur's perspective, it is just a rank 3 orcish. I don't think that helping Elizabeth who is in a hurry with the eyes of a smiley person needs help.

"It might have been bad because it was an oak, maybe it was too stimulating for a girl to train around."

"Oh, yeah! Then, let's look for an auger if we have the next opportunity."

Miriam, who talks cheerfully with Kalinia, seems to be dyed to them.

"That's true, I didn't say that I would weaken it!"

However, Elizabeth, who was casting a spell while fleeing, activated life attribute magic. The grass growing on the leg of the orc running at the top is entangled like a snake, and falls down as "Buggy !?" The orcs running behind him also get caught and fall, or stop in a hurry to avoid it.

"I'll reshape the formation right now! Torus, Makuto, and Zona are ahead! Uzes and Mahalia are backing! You are--"

"Well, I'll give you moderate support, so please do your best."

Elizabeth was surprised to find that Vandalou, who had been running at the last minute, was by his side, but immediately turned his consciousness into a fight if this was not the case.

Without misunderstandings and carelessness, it's been more than a year since I entered the Heroes Preparatory School, and neither Torus nor Zona defeated the Orcs.

Uzes casts a spell and made a mistake, or Makuto casts an Orc to defeat the orc, but another orc hits the gap and he was almost beaten by a log instead of a club. However, the arrows shot by Mahalia and the pebbles thrown by Vandalu hit the orc's shoulders and eyes, respectively, and managed to escape the wreck.

Somehow Elizabeth won. Arthur's help with the destruction proof site and the dismantling of the material were quickly completed, and the day was dissolved.

At that time, there were several people in Orbaum who were worried about what had happened.

"What should I do……"

One of them is Count Draze Reemsand. Rich mustache on a plump belly. A person who seems more convincing than a nobleman as an evil merchant, but he is the backer and patron of Elizabeth Sauron.

"No way Elizabeth's fellows would have that Vandaloo Zaccato ... if I had anything, I could be held liable.

And if Elizabeth would be taken away ... wouldn't all of that help be wasted. I hope that little girl could be used as a basket.

Drazet's protection and support for the young Elizabeth's mother, who escaped from the Duke of Sauron, may be able to use her as a puppet to gain control of the Duke of Sauron. Because she had such a strange delusion.

However, the young Elizabeth was devastated by the successor battle. Draze tried to sell her to Ruder, who had won the successor battle, but failed because Elizabeth himself rebelled strongly against Ruder.

Later, by the time he wondered how he treated Elizabeth and his mother, Elizabeth had grown up beautifully. She is still in her early teens, but in five more years she will be a beautiful woman.

Draze, who thought so, plotted to make her her concubine. She urged her to give up the challenge, and if she couldn't achieve it, to stop helping her, because she sought to get closer to saying, "If you want her to continue helping ...".

"But the Lord told me that I would like to cooperate for a while to find out about the movements of Vandaloo Zakart and his mother ... Elizabeth will not escape because his mother is under control.

But I'll tell you to increase my mother's lookout just in case. ''

Draze moaned a glass filled with wine.

"What should I do……"

And another person who is worried about the same thing.

"The units that report directly to the election have permission from the election to move, but there is no expectation of any further information from the move.

The temple's move to purify the cursed mansion is unusually slow. It was about the temple of Arda that reacted, but ... that smell. A parasite that claims to be a believer of God. ''

Telcatanis had a difficult time responding to the freely moving Vandaloos. Despite the decision at the meeting, he does not trust Military Dormad.

He wants the order of the Orbaum election to be maintained. And the nation is run by a more perfect order.

The duke of Al Krem, who suddenly screamed for reform, and perhaps the cause, Vandaloo, are just a headache. The problem is that the seed is too large to handle.

It is not enough to maintain order if it is turned to the enemy. Orbaum collapses when he is bad, and the center of the country that united each duke has disappeared. The elected kingdom may return to its former small country gathering.

And in order to solidify your position, you can't afford to lag behind the measures against mother and child of Zaccato.

"Even at the Adventurer's School, my breathless aristocrat seems to have failed to get in. In this case, contact the mother ... or the adventurers who are working together? ?

Do you want to increase intelligence on the Duke of Al Krem? "

I think a lot, but no answer. Zachart hasn't done much at Orbaum so far. But that doesn't mean it will.

Already information has been received at the Adventurers' School that she has contacted Elizabeth Sauron. Maybe she's trying to get the Duke of Sauron with her, or she's planning a bigger plot.

Tel Katanis is troubled, but there is little that can be done at the moment. If you come out of hasty hands and stimulate the Zachart parent and child in reverse, you will not be able to see.

God's voice resonated directly with his consciousness, wondering if it would be night, without even thinking of one of the secrets today.

"What do you want to do with Vandaloo Zaccato? If so, work with me. My name is St. Rokudo. I need your help. '
