“Yeah? Uh, hey, that’s… … .”

Arrieta started to panic at the presence of Eleanor, who intruded as if it was natural in the middle.

It’s sudden, but in a sense, it’s also happy.

Doesn’t that mean Eleanor took me for granted as a member of her party?

… … He might have simply wanted the troops [Heir of the Sorcerer King] and [Saint of Hope]. Anyway, having a party with Eleanor isn’t bad either.

Arrieta was left alone as a freshman anyway, so it would have been difficult to find another party member.

Moreover, I was acting like Oz as much as possible.

Let’s thank Eleanor, who has a wide friendship now.

“The last… … . Who should I do? teacher.”

Eleanor continued the story, not paying attention to Arrieta’s flustered muttering.

It’s astounding at its audacity.

By the way, warriors and shooters, mages and priests. Even with this, the Eolchu party can be turned. Even if a warrior doubles as a tanker, it will be a fairly well-balanced party.

If there’s a problem, it’s Eleanor. To put it mildly, she is weak.

In the middle of a party that ranges from basic SR to SSR, it corresponds to the R-class level alone.

Of course, I’m the only one following the game character’s stats here, but even excluding that, Eleanor belongs to the weak category.

Isn’t she a growing protagonist, not a munchkin?

“The last one will need a Guardian, so why don’t we call the White Sheep?”

“A white sheep? Well… … .”

“Do you have any problems? Aren’t you two friends?”

“Baekyang is afraid of his master. I heard you grabbed the face of a slender girl the other day and pinned it to the ground?”

“Oh my gosh… … . Oz-sama, why did you do that… … ?”

Given the circumstances, that is correct.

It’s definitely true, but something is strange.

Is it because the talk of practice is missing?

Eleanor’s bizarre speech feels like a sharp dagger today.

Are you trying to attack me socially? If that’s right, it could be said that it was a very sharp blow.

Arrieta must have been shocked, because her face turned pale. My image was smashed.

“It’s because it’s practice. It couldn’t be helped.”

I tried shrugging my shoulders as if nothing had happened, but Arrieta’s complexion did not change.

If nothing changes, there’s nothing you can do about it. The rest is the truth, so there is no excuse.

i’m trash

“That’s right.”

But here Eleanor began to take my side.

It was she who put the knife in my back and she was the one who saved me.

Eleanor’s specialty is playing with people’s minds in this way.

For a moment, I almost felt grateful.

“Even though the master is a wizard, there is nothing that can be done by physically overpowering the opponent. It was brutal, ruthless, and violent to the point of going a little too far.”

“Whether you defend or criticize, do one thing.”

“Master is more sadistic than I thought.”

Please do not choose to criticize.

If you hurt me any more, would I do more than cry?

“Well, if that’s what the master wants, I’ll talk to Baekyang first. Is it okay if I threaten you in the name of the teacher?”

“Today, you are trying to turn me into trash.”

“… … Master has a bad brain.”

Eleanor narrowed her eyes in dissatisfaction and nibbled at the apple.

Didn’t you cut it for me?

“My master is such a person. What does the saintess think?”

“I have no idea.”

“I see.”

Eleanor smiled and dumped the rest of the apple into her mouth.

Even if I said everything, she chopped up the original apple, so it wasn’t even 2 pieces.

“Then I will go soon. Master, see you later.”

“uh… … . yes.”

“ah! I thought it was a party. Come to think of it, there was a freshman party soon, right? Master, what are your plans for the day?”

“anything.”

“Hee hee. Master really likes the word ‘nothing’. If you have free time, shall we play together that day? Oh, come to think of it, was the saintess busy even then? It’s unfortunate.”

“… … .”

Eleanor smiled and left. Arrieta tilted her head as if she didn’t understand the situation just before.

Yes, 10 minutes like that.

He didn’t say anything, just stood there.

To the point of suffocating… … .

* * *

Woodeuk-

“Ugh… … .”

3rd day after being discharged from the hospital.

I tried to loosen my neck, but the pain was still there.

How the hell did he twist it so he didn’t die and left only pain?

It is said that he is the strongest in the world, but it is truly a terrifying ability.

“Whoops, you’re finally here.”

“… … .”

“Welcome. teacher. To our party, 『Woluntas』!”

“Uh, yes.”

Arriving at the training ground assigned by Tia Academy, as expected, Eleanor was showing off her superintendent psychology.

I get a headache when I see them sitting with their legs crossed as if they were part of some secret organization with chairs left in the center of the practice range.

“Where are the rest of the kids?”

“Heh.”

An arrogant expression with no bottom and no end.

I want to give you a hit

“Come on, kids.”

match!

As Eleanor clapped her hands, Lucia walked out from the shadow of the pillar holding a pistol.

Why are you doing that again? I mean, don’t get caught up in the weird stuff.

“hi! The Prince of Oz.”

“… … .”

The usual secrecy is unthinkable, trudging along. Are you doing that on purpose? Are you playing a character like that?

“Welcome to 『Woluntas』!”

that’s what i’ve already heard

Are you planning on saying the same welcome to everyone as they come out one by one? If that’s the case, why don’t we just come out together?

“This party is centered around Eleanor… … .”

Lucia comes up to me condescendingly and puts her hand on my shoulder.

But that expression couldn’t be more pitiful than this.

Lucia lowered her head and began to mutter quietly.

“I’m sorry, but Prince Oz, can you respond with something… … ?”

“Why are you blending in instead of blending in?”

“I had to be like this to fit Eleanor’s state of mind… … .”

“If you look into the abyss, does the abyss also look into you?”

“Surprisingly, that expression might be the most accurate… … Ugh?!”

While exchanging whispers, Lucia was dragged out like a cat with Eleanor holding her by the scruff of her neck.

“Lucia, I have to introduce Yang Baek too, so just do that!”

Lucia, who is being strangled, may be hoping for salvation from me, but I have no confidence to stop Eleanor.

Of course I’ll win if I fight, but it’s no use destroying the relationship that way.

I intend to maintain a good relationship with Eleanor.

“eww… … . Is it my turn?”

Baekyang walked out from behind another pillar and bowed his head.

I don’t know if they’re afraid of me, like Eleanor said, or if they’re bothering me, but I’m sure they’re not motivated.

“Is this what it is?”

“Come out from behind the pillar for now. What are the Guardians doing hiding behind it?”

“Are you thinking of grabbing my hair and sticking it in like the last time? You mean to deliver a powerful blow to my stomach!”

“… … It looks like the party will be ruined already.”

I know that shit happened before anything even started. The second one is not me.

I didn’t do anything wild like that.

“I can’t go on like this.”

I’m not kidding, but at this rate, I’ll be destroyed by internal divisions before I meet the enemy in Chapter 2.

It’s dangerous if you consider that the characters’ stats are following the story except for me.

Of course, there is no big difference between the stats in the story and the specs in the game, unless it’s an SSR grade.

Since there is no rank above SSR, it is unavoidable that the width is wide.

Most of the characters below the SR rating had similar abilities to the game.

Of course, I am weaker now than I was in the story.

Fortunately, Arietta is in the same party.

Because the enemies of Chapter 2 of the main story this time are the dead, subordinates of [Myungwang].

Yes, as long as it’s Arietta… … .

“No, but where is Arrieta?”

“I heard that the saintess is busy today? So, unfortunately, we are the only ones today.”

“yes?”

When I saw you earlier, I thought you were free because you were doing something like origami, wasn’t it?

Did I ask you to fold it for nothing?

Well, when you become the head of the leadership team, you might be suffering from a headache because of the upcoming midterm exam.

Some of them will try to cheat before the match, so it’s understandable that the leading team is busy.

“If the leadership team was so busy, did I have to help?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay since Master just got discharged from the hospital? You must be busy in other ways to catch up with your late studies so far, right?”

“I never imagined that such normal words would come out of your mouth.”

“Master sometimes tends to look at me like a weirdo.”

Not sometimes, but I always think you’re weird.

But he doesn’t say those words out of his mouth.

No one knows which direction the greatsword Eleanor is carrying on her back will move.

“Then shall we start training? Let’s show our potential in this party-specific test!”

“Even if you try it with a party, the evaluation is different.”

“Still, wouldn’t winning be more evaluated than losing? I believe in Master.”

“… … I’m sorry, but I have no intention of using advanced magic during this semester.”

Rather, it is obvious that this time, as well as the last time, there will be a penalty.

“Why?! Why do you want to throw victory on the ground?”

“Noah, this is a place for students to learn. But if I do my best, will proper education proceed?”

In fact, I couldn’t use it, but I decided to wrap it that way because I would be banned from using advanced magic anyway due to penalties.

Fortunately, no one thinks that I will not be able to use advanced magic. You won’t be able to doubt it because you’ve already shown it in the fight against Gerard.

“Be cocky!”

“… … .”

“But the teacher’s arrogant sensibility isn’t bad.”

Eleanor wanted to scream, but after convincing herself, she nodded. It’s a really disgraceful thing, but every action I do seems to touch some kind of sensibility.

“… … Okay, so let’s train.”

“Maybe?”

Eleanor moved to the center of the training ground, leaving Lucia breathing in and Baekyang hiding behind a pillar behind.

“Eight.”

Kwajik!

Then he kicked the chair he was sitting on and blew it away.

“Wah ha ha ha!”

“… … .”

With the chair smashed against the wall, I carefully wrote a note to Eleanor adding a penalty point and observed the ensuing action.

“Is this what you were doing? hmm? That’s right, what.”

Eleanor started spraying something white in the middle of the training ground.

Then, from the spot, a series of groups resembling skeletons began to rise.

“Ah, that’s it.”

A dragon bottle made by Tia herself.

It is a combination of a warrior, a guardian, a shooter, and a wizard, respectively, probably tailored to our party. Fortunately, there were no priests.

I felt it every time I saw it in the game, but no matter how much it is for the training of students, is it okay to give troops like dragon soldiers like that?

I remember that there was a setting that the dragon soldier was made of Tia’s fangs.

So, does Tia get hundreds of teeth pulled out for her students every year? I didn’t know, but now I see that there is no such thing as an educator.

“It’s terrible… … .”

Of course, thinking about it like that gives me goosebumps. doesn’t fit

“You think I’m cute?”

“… … Why are you here?”

What is the warrior doing right next to the wizard? At least he was hiding behind the white sheep.

“Ah, inadvertently… … . I will go ahead.”

Eleanor ran forward at a speed that was incomparable to what Eleanor had been moving at a quick pace.

Well, even so, it is still an R-class level physical ability. There will be a long way to go in the future.

[Contemplation – Activate]

Immediately after confirming that Eleanor stands behind Baekyang and takes her posture, activate [Contemplation] to observe the party members’ movements.

After making a shield of ice, Baekyang stands in front and prepares for the dragon soldier to approach.

Eleanor seems to be frustrated by the quiet narrowing distance, and keeps jumping forward and attacking at odd timings.

Baek Yang, the guardian, doesn’t even care about Eleanor’s appearance.

If the opponent hadn’t been a training mercenary, Eleanor would have been caught or beaten and rolled on the ground.

“Are you usually like this?”

“It’s not like… … .”

Lucia, who is right behind me in terms of position, sighs as if she has no face.

This is really great. There can’t be a more outrageous one than this.

Baekyang, who has to protect the party members, has no motivation, and Eleanor keeps showing disquieting movements, as if she wants to stand out.

If this happens in real life, our party will be ruined within 5 minutes.

“… … Let’s start by shooting them once.”

“I will.”

bang!

“Did you usually accumulate a lot?”

“little.”

As I muttered in frustration, Lucia pulled the trigger without even having a single question.

Not even the slightest hesitation.

“Cheuk!”

“Aww!”

Eleanor, who was hit in the back, stumbles and falls down, and Baek Yang, who was hit in the back of the head, hits her head on the ground.

He would have fired rubber bullets, but even so, he was strong enough to be shot. After all, the physical laws of this world have a taste.

“Now, wait a minute!”

“Kyaaagh!”

The mercenary soldiers swung their weapons over the two fallen people.

Fortunately, the mercenary’s weapon turned to dust and disappeared just as it was about to reach the two, and the mercenary stopped moving after swinging in the air.

It must be a safety measure prepared by Tia. To be unnecessarily kind.

“As expected, the back of my head… … .”

“Not me this time.”

The white sheep strokes the back of my head and glares at me.

It is true that I said to shoot him, but I never said to shoot him in the back of the head.

Looking at Lucia from the sidelines, she had a very satisfied expression on her face. Lucia must have been stressed not only by Eleanor, but also by Yang Baek.

Yes, if you’re happy with it.

“Looking at what you guys are doing, I think we should practice dragon soldiers a little later.”

“Then, should we do some physical training? I dig! You just have to be strong enough to defeat the mercenary soldiers in one shot, right?”

“no.”

It would be nice if I could do that, but even so, it probably won’t change the fact that Eleanor’s grades are shit.

And even if she wakes up from death, Eleanor’s skills will not be able to defeat the dragon soldier.

To be honest, I can’t win either.

That monster was created to serve as a guard guarding the inside of ＜Skientia＞ in the first place. A fairly advanced defense magic is engraved.

It has at least SR-level stats, and if you only consider defense, it will be close to SSR-level.

“I don’t want too many from you two. He just wants you to understand his position.”

“I understand. I’m the star of the party, right?”

“Noah says so.”

It is also a rich year.

“Me and Lucia will pour magic on Noah from now on. And every time Noah is hit, I will set aside a warning for Baekyang. I’m looking forward to the time when it’s over and settled.”

“Yeah… … ?”

“… … What warning?”

The balance of this party is not bad. Yeah, the balance isn’t bad.

The problem is the mental state of these two idiots who are not even aware of where they are.

“It would be nice if you guys could realize your original role by the end of this training.”

“Kyaaak!”

I cast my magic at both targets.

[Fire Wall]

“Whoa!”

It won’t hurt.

Aren’t they also wearing magic tools that help them resist magic?

So it’s okay.

[Chain Lightning]

“Kyaaa”

So let’s pour it constantly until they get used to it.

Rolling until it doesn’t work is the basic element of training.

I learned that way.
