Episode 148 – Emergency Countermeasures Meeting
It was exactly 10 hours after the start of the training session that an emergency contact came from the supervisor who was watching the students who had left the training session.
Starting before sunrise, by the time the sun rises all students have been moved to the outside practice area.
And by now, 10 hours later, most of the students would have had a place to stay during the practice period.
The subject of this training was ‘survival’, and the total training period was 2 weeks.
Of the 2-week practice period, the actual practice period was 10 days, and the remaining 4 days were for reviewing the practice process and taking a break.
The professors at Noble Academy hoped that nothing would happen in this practice like last year’s practice.
The supervisors dispatched to the practice area in advance were excellent people with both skills and character, and they were obliged to stop the practice in case of emergency and bring the students safely to the academy.
This was because of a raid that took place at an academy in a neighboring country a few years ago.
That was the case when Alberto Salihar Maydern was attacked at the Royal Academy.
After that incident, the Royal Academy and Noble Academy changed the rules by allowing students to do something autonomously during practice, as well as dispatching supervisors to respond immediately in case of emergency in the back. .
Since then, when an enemy that the students cannot handle appears or a dangerous situation occurs that requires the practice to be stopped, the number of injuries to the students who are conducting the practice has significantly decreased through the active intervention of the supervisor.
However, a supervisor dispatched to the site told me that a major problem had arisen during the external practice that was held this year.
It was the moment when a red line was drawn on the record board of accident-free practice that had been going on for several years.
–
The professors who remained at Noble Academy gathered in the large conference room on the third floor of the current main building.
As more than 100 professors gathered together, the place was so full that no one could enter the meeting room, the largest conference room in Noble Academy.
“No, so what the hell happened?”
“Ah, talk to me. Speak!”
The conference room was a mess.
A professor trying to find out what happened, and a professor worried about what happened to the student he was in charge of. Several people spoke up at once, and the large conference room became noisy as if they had just arrived at a market.
“No, if we call it a state of emergency right now, isn’t it right that we should explain what happened quickly?”
“Everyone, please be quiet. Professor Prelda is coming in.”
The heat was gradually rising, and someone announced that Professor Prelda was entering in an atmosphere where an accident was likely to happen if things went on like this.
“… ….”
“…… Hmmm.”
Then, the atmosphere in the large conference room, which seemed to boil at any moment, subsided in an instant.
This was possible because the vast majority of the professors here had been taught by Professor Prelda, and the rest were also familiar with Professor Prelda’s reputation.
“Sorry for being late. It took me a while to check the report that just came in.”
Professor Prelda entered the conference room and sat in what could be called the most prestigious seat.
It may seem like a rude act at first glance, but in reality, there was no one other than the emperor who could overcome her authority in the Noble Academy, and her position was also the most powerful in the Noble Academy, so no one said a word about it. Did not
As she sat down in her seat, the rest of the professors who were standing around her were able to find their own seats and sit down.
“First of all, I would like to apologize for suddenly calling an emergency call at this time.”
“No, Professor. So, why did you call for an emergency call all of a sudden?”
The professor who had just raised his voice and complained to people about what was going on had changed to a calmer attitude in front of Professor Prelda, asking what had happened.
“In planning this practice, I am sure you are well aware of the fact that the supervisors only intervene when the incident is not something the students can handle. Supervisors intervene in cases that students cannot handle, and they are supposed to periodically report them to the school through a secret communication network.”
Professor Prelda stopped her for a moment, caught her breath, then opened her mouth again.
Perhaps it was because she came in a hurry and her breathing became rough, or she noticed that her words were not properly organized.
“Among other things, the supervisors who were monitoring the team that included students Jason and Adalbert reported that an unexpected earthquake had occurred in the area.”
“You mean an earthquake?”
“That’s strange. There is nothing in the land that could cause an earthquake.”
When the word earthquake came out of Professor Prelda’s mouth, the professors who taught her related fields had questions.
There were no volcanoes in the wilderness, no faults, no tectonic plates colliding, so there was no sign of an earthquake.
“Are you saying that the earth dragon appeared?”
“Unfortunately, they say it’s not the Earth Dragon. However, according to the supervisor’s report, they heard a roar from an unknown monster that made even the supervisors nervous.”
The professors turned blue when they heard that they heard the roar of an unidentified monster.
If the supervisor’s words were true, it was because the practice had to be stopped immediately and the students returned.
“However, there have been reports that the students have not yet encountered the monsters, and that they have moved away from the place where they used to be temporary shelters and are moving to find a new temporary shelter. I have been instructed to leave the area.”
Professor Prelda explained to the professors gathered in the conference room what she had been doing before coming here.
“I’m glad.”
“It’s practice, you can go ahead as much as you like, so it’s fortunate that the students come back alive.”
The professors were all relieved by Professor Prelda’s words.
But did I say that life is not new?
“Professor! This is a report from the supervisor that a team led by student Adalbert and student Jason has encountered and battled an unknown monster!”
What was delivered to them was not good news, but bad news.
“Even the majority of the combat team students are injured and cannot fight properly, and even the teleport gate is said to have been damaged by the earthquake!”
That, too, is the worst tragedy they can imagine.
“Ah… Oh, no… ….”
And then, Nina’s complexion began to deteriorate rapidly.
The situation that happened to Adalbert now reminded me of that event three years ago.
‘No way, even the young master?’
The reason Nina’s complexion turned bad was because of Adalbert.
Just like that day three years ago, the fear of losing the one she loved once again gripped her heart.
Her as if a heavy boulder had been placed on her chest, Nina felt her breath grow tighter.
“Additional report! It is reported that Adalbert, the current leader of the support group, is fighting an unknown monster, and the rest of the members have started moving to the nearest teleport gate for escape.”
“Student Adalbert?”
“Umm, I see. Wasn’t it a lie to say that you fought back against the instructor in the entrance exam!”
As additional reports came in, some professors were surprised and others questioned.
However, unlike the others, Nina let out a sigh of relief when she heard that Adalbert was alive.
‘It’s a relief, it’s a relief… ….’
Now that she has heard that the person she loves is alive, how can she conceal her joy?
Seeing her smile spread across Nina’s face, a professor came over and addressed her to Nina.
“It seems that you are relieved that your advisor is safe. Professor Nina.”
“Ah, Professor Hannah.”
“hehehe, I understand that feeling too. Please, I hope student Adalbert returns safely.”
“Thank you.”
Nina expressed her deep gratitude for Professor Hanna’s consolation.
In this way, the news that the students were evacuating to a safe place spread, and once again the large conference room was filled with a positive atmosphere.
But wasn’t it said that it is a comedy when viewed from a distance, and a tragedy when viewed from a close up?
The condition of Adalbert’s support team and Jason’s combat group students, who encountered the unknown monster, Void Devourer, was very serious.
–
“Blood, blood won’t stop!”
“Here’s a hemostatic agent!”
“Potion! Does anyone have any potions left?”
“Here! Take the remaining potions!”
Most of the students from the support and combat teams who encountered the Void Eater were receiving treatment in a safe zone with serious injuries.
From noble mtl dot com.
Fortunately, the injured were being treated at a rapid pace thanks to the support team bringing ample items to help with wound healing or recovery instead of food.
“Thank you. Supervisor. I live thanks to you.”
“Say that to the Adalbert student who is fighting over there. If the student hadn’t attracted the monster’s attention to pass the time, we’d probably be lying on the ground waiting for death.”
The supervisor spoke in a slightly blunt tone, but his tone showed his gratitude towards Adalbert.
“Whoa. Once you’ve done all the first aid, you’ll be fine. A lot of things you had helped me with the treatment.”
The superintendent who was treating the students approached Jason as if he had completed first aid and explained the current situation.
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes. By the way, did you say Adalbert? His sword handling skills were extraordinary…… Where are you and what are you doing?”
“Okay.”
Jason, who was questioned by the supervisor, looked in the direction Adalbert was fighting and said.
“I am also very curious.”
In Jason’s eyes looking in the direction where Adalbert would be, he was full of conviction that he was the White Death.
