67 – Rolled Stone (2)

“Starting next week when classes resume, Class A will go on an outside practice right away.”

Bella’s voice echoed in the classroom for the first time in a while.

Unlike the other classes, our class was gathered in the classroom after a long time at Bella’s call.

“Outside practice… .”

“Everyone has a vague idea of what an outside practice is, right? I said it on the day of the entrance ceremony.”

The external practice, which is the overall story of the hero saga and a means to the core story, was like a means to announce the beginning of a full-scale story.

This is because it is a process in which a few people, including the main character, leave for practice in another area, solve strange incidents that occur there, and face the darkness.

“Currently, there are 10 people in Class A. The outdoor practice will be divided into two groups of five and head to two villages.”

At Bella’s words, the students started looking around.

Since they were assigned to class A in recognition of their talent, there was no change in the number of class members even if they said they were going through an interim evaluation.

But, except for one person.

“Miss Elaine.”

“Nue, Neue!”

“As you all have seen, Elaine, one of those who played an active part in this case, has been recognized for her contribution and will be assigned to Class A starting today.”

Yes.

Elaine became Class A.

“It is the first time in the history of the academy that the F class has changed to the A class, but I don’t think there will be any students who are meaningful to it.”

A person who helped stop Mine and Mephisto along with the instructor.

The inside story doesn’t matter. It’s true that no matter what happened, I stopped the demons.

In this era where it is hard to see even monsters, let alone demons, the word demon has a heavy weight.

Those who were at the gymnasium at the time must have indirectly felt Mephisto’s power.

What kind of existence Mine is, and what it means to stand up to such a being.

Because of this, the eyes of the students looking at Elaine were mixed with respect.

“Eh, my name is Elaine. I wish you well!”

Students greeted Elaine, who bowed her head, with applause.

I smiled and looked around the classroom, avoiding Elaine’s gaze at me.

‘There is no reason for the image to deteriorate from the first day.’

It seems that the class’s evaluation of me has changed to some extent since that day, but I’m not so ignorant as to say that right away.

After all, because she was Elaine, who will become a saint in the future, many people like her in terms of her appearance and personality.

Even now, the few people who are looking at her are looking at Elaine as if possessed by something.

In this situation, if I show the way I get along with Elaine, the image I built up will go to hell at once.

‘That will never happen.’

It’s for Elaine.

As a member of Siegfried’s party in the future,

as a hero,

If a bad image is attached to Elaine, who has to take a big step forward—

“Count?”

As soon as I thought, Elaine came to sit next to me.

I whispered to her so as not to be heard as much as possible.

“Elaine, this is not your seat. go back.”

“It’s like, you promised to go together, but you went alone!”

I continued talking without looking at Elaine, who puffed out her cheeks and claimed that I was angry.

please go back

“yes. I’ll talk to you later, so come back.”

“Sir, I don’t like it.”

Since when did you become so bold?

I’m sure I would have screamed and hated it the first time I saw it.

As I looked around with a sidelong glance, sure enough, most of the eyes were paying attention.

Reina openly frowns, and the other gazes don’t look so positively.

Image recovery is still slow.

let’s resign

I nodded and signaled to the expressionless Bella, who was staring at me like the others.

It just meant to move on.

“Then, let’s move on.”

As a quick-witted Bella, she naturally took everyone’s attention back.

I secretly fed chestnuts to Elaine, who continued to grow fat next to me, and focused my attention on Bella.

“There are a total of two villages where we will be practicing this time. Belgrove, a farming village located southwest of the capital, Frisia, and Empsted, a mining town located to the west.”

widely-

When Bella knocks on the desk, models of two villages appear in the air.

Quite an elegant farm village with green grass and a turbid village built with dull bricks.

It was a look that clearly showed the personality of the two villages.

“As I said before, we will divide into two groups of five and go to each village to carry out pre-arranged tasks there. Then, let’s assign groups for practice from now on.”

It was the sound that signaled the beginning of a full-fledged story.

In the original story, Siegfried and his party definitely went to Empsted.

The game was thoroughly played from the main character’s point of view, so you can’t see the situation of other groups.

If it is confirmed that Siegfried is going to Empsted as well, I will naturally go to Belgrove, not the group.

‘This practice is going to be a bit difficult.’

It’s a town that doesn’t appear in the game.

Unlike Empsted, there was no way to know in detail where and what was happening.

In addition, Altane, who should have gone out immediately in the story, was openly at the academy, so some variables might appear.

You need to be extra careful.

‘I’ll have to stop by Mene before I go.’

The church’s children who were rescued not too long ago were immediately sent to Mene by wagon.

He must have been exhausted mentally as well as physically, so he intended to talk to Elaine after recovering to a certain extent in Mene, which was in the midst of restoration.

According to Nadia’s report, the living space has been secured and the health of the residents has been greatly restored.

If this continues, Mene’s normalization will go smoothly.

Mene reconstruction was also coming to an end, so now it was time to seriously consider the income of the estate.

Should I start farming again by clearing the existing farmland, or should I turn it into a tourism business using Nadia’s elixir?

I’ve never done anything like this before, so I need to talk to Jed about this.

‘I didn’t expect to come all this way and manage the territory.’

Should I take Jed with me when I stop by Mene?

“First, I’ll call out the names of the people heading to Belgrove.”

Bella’s dry voice rang out.

“Student Lian Altane.”

“Yes.”

It was possible for me to enter here.

All that remains is who comes in.

“Student Hans Gram.”

“Yes, Instructor.”

Then I saw that he was there.

A person who is nothing more than an extra who doesn’t join the main character’s party.

I thought so at first, but the bond is tough.

If you stay in Class A, you have some talent.

‘What you looking at?’

I quietly raised my middle finger at the guy who looked at me and clicked his tongue, as if he didn’t like it.

“This bastard… .”

Anyway, only Hans knows that this is an insult here.

Even he didn’t seem to know what it meant.

“Next is student Hilda.”

“… .”

“A student of Hilda?”

“… Yes, whoops.”

Suddenly, a creepy voice came from behind.

As soon as I turned around, I met a black-haired woman. It was an unforgettable character.

A dull light lingered in her dull black eyes, and her untidy bangs hung down enough to half-cover her eyes.

A girl called Hilda greeted me with an eerie smile.

“Please… Whoops.”

“… Please take good care of me.”

I got goosebumps involuntarily at the cold tone that seemed to dig into every corner of my body.

‘Has there ever been a child like this?’

In the meantime, while taking classes, I remember the faces of most of my classmates, but this girl called Hilda is strangely unfamiliar.

I almost ran into it at least once, but I don’t remember it at all.

I don’t think there are more people as insignificant as me.

“Whoops.”

My body trembled at the sound of Hilda’s voice still laughing behind me.

I didn’t know anything else, but I felt like I shouldn’t be very close.

“And Raina Eisteen.”

“Yes.”

‘what?’

It felt like my brain hardened for a moment.

did i hear wrong?

“… .”

Looking back, it seemed right that Reina was called.

what. Why is he being called now?

Apparently, you have to go to Emfsted with Siegfried for the story to progress?

‘what? Are you already twisted?’

Reina responded calmly and Bella nodded casually.

No matter how you look at it, it was clear that he had called Reina.

If this happens, who the hell will be at the main character’s party?

“Lastly, student Elaine. That is all.”

It’s completely ruined.

The two people in charge of the wizard and healer in the main character’s party do not accompany the main character from the beginning.

―It’s the school principal’s decision, so let’s raise our eyebrows.

What my expression was like, Bella’s electric sound rang in my head.

Is it so obvious

Wouldn’t it be like this if everyone were in my position?

If you enter the game and start creaking from the point where the story begins in earnest, is there anyone who won’t get a brain freeze?

“… I’m going crazy.”
