Second Fieldwork (2)
Little by little-
The hooves of the horses pulling the carriages were not small, but not to the point of being noisy.
“Heh heh heh heh heh”
“It’s fun to go out.”
“… … It’s all good, but can’t I just take my head off? a bit heavy… … .”
“what?”
“No, it’s too light.”
“Hehe, right?”
However, listening to the sound of such horseshoes, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Although I was looking at a slightly different scenery outside of the quiet academy life, it was even more so because it was a place I had already been to once, and it was almost like going for a vacation rather than a battle.
Especially since I’m with two women, it’s also one of my jobs to please the two of them.
When you head to the mysterious forest, sweating profusely like that.
“Slowly you can see the village.”
“Ah, well done.”
A village where the carriage driver assigned by Ardian Academy slowly exists near the mysterious forest.
He informed me that almost all of the villages I visited during the last field trip had arrived.
It’s a very small and shabby town, so I can’t remember the name.
“Wow, it’s been a few months since I’ve been here.”
It seems like yesterday that I was attacked by goblins and treated as a hero by the restless ones.
“let’s go.”
all the way- all the way-
After my words, the carriage that took us gently entered the village.
* * *
“Oh oh! Hero! Did you come with another woman this time?”
“What is it, the gaze of a man who changes women to the hotel room?”
“What do you mean?”
“… … That’s it.”
The village chief, whom I saw last time, looked at me and gave me a strange look, but the sign of hospitality was still there.
The village chief who leads the villagers located in a remote area and a student from Ardian Academy.
Because it was a very simple story that anyone could tell who was superior.
“But what about this time?”
“Because a demon appeared. I’m here to subdue again.”
“Ahh! thank you! thank you!”
In addition, a relationship of Gap and Eul was naturally formed between the villagers and me.
That’s because I can easily beat and catch the monsters that the whole villager might be afraid to catch even if they rush in.
‘Now, even the ogre monsters deserve it.’
An incredibly powerful body and mana tobacco.
With this, even Eldea would be able to deal with the ogre monsters that struggled.
Monsters were no longer a symbol of fear for me.
“Can I start right away?”
“Yeah! You can! We’ll take care of your luggage, so please feel free to travel!”
“thank you.”
Starting with the village chief who takes the lead in unloading the carriage, the villagers rush out to give food and move luggage.
When you thank us in different ways.
With Elena and Lily standing next to them, I headed towards the place where the mysterious forest was located.
‘For now, we have to fulfill our original purpose.’
Revisiting the elf village located in the Mysterious Forest and following Lily to the magical realm beyond the Mystic Forest.
All of them were the purpose of this trip, but since this trip is also a field training after all, it was quite natural to solve the troublesome tasks first.
“Come on, let’s finish our homework and move on to the elf village.”
“yes!”
“It’s over quickly.”
Elena and Lily.
The moment when I was added to the monster subjugation, which was enough for one person, let alone two people.
The future of the monsters that came out as a field practice task was no different from what was decided.
So we moved quickly through the mysterious forest.
* * *
– Kek!
-Kill it!
“Surely there are a lot of people who have crossed over from the Magic Kingdom.”
The first thing we encountered was a kobold monster.
Those who are treated one level lower than the goblins are weak, but they become monsters and their physical specifications increase, so unlike normal kobolds who are lightly suppressed or killed by adult males, they become monsters and can even tear adult males lightly.
There are dozens of them.
‘It’s like a juggling squad.’
weak yet strong.
Recalling the existence in a certain game on Earth, where pushing with numbers is going to make you stronger, I shook my head and pulled out my sword.
Squeaky!
Without any mana or anything, the sword he just wielded cuts the kobold monster’s throat as it is.
Like a millet, the sword that had split its neck immediately moved in search of the next target.
spatula! spatula! Squeaky!
The heads of three monsters fly through the air.
A red blood vortex rages, and a kobold monster glows with it.
It was bizarre and terrifying to see guys reminiscent of zerglings rushing with their legs and arms moving, but the path I had walked was too chaotic to be afraid of just that.
Kwagak!
It kicks the kobold monster that rushes in, and the one that attacks from behind grabs it and hangs it on the floor.
bang!
The head of the kobold monster, which fell from the head, cracked like a watermelon, and red blood and brain water flowed out one after another to wet the floor.
“Whoa, let’s go on.”
“… … Wow, Heize is so strong!”
“Iknow, right.”
Having dealt with ten kobold monsters alone in an instant, I collected their blood and ears, and immediately moved deeper.
My goal was to get rid of at least a third of the monsters that appeared, and my abilities were enough to make it happen.
* * *
monster.
A term that refers to a monster that has accepted magic.
This means that powerful or ferocious monsters become even more uncontrollable.
Of course, normal beings cannot be killed alone, let alone monsters.
‘At the end of the day, if you become a knight, you can easily play one-on-one, but that’s all.’
Queek, a goblin monster.
Even the orc monsters had to be hit well, which was the limit of an ordinary knight.
It is said that if there were more than one existence or more than one monster appeared, the knights had no choice but to turn their backs.
In the world of monsters, the existence that moves alone and destroys the army was the chosen one.
And I was not lacking enough to be called the ‘chosen being’ in the world of monsters.
Quad Duck!
Mysterious Forest.
More and more powerful monsters as they head into the depths of that place.
Not only low-level monsters such as kobolds and goblins, but also ordinary kobolds and goblins led by such demons.
Almost hundreds of monsters and monster corps.
They were catnip as soon as they caught my hand.
“boring.”
“Well, of course.”
It was only natural that Elena and Lily had nothing to do.
Their strength is different from the strength I have.
There is also a situation where Lily can’t use most of her power properly.
So they comfortably watched my battle from behind.
The battle that had been raging for a long time ended only after I had properly done seven packs of blood.
“… … Whoa, that’s it for today.”
There is still plenty of time.
Thinking that far, I washed my blood-stained face with the water made by the water spirit and headed towards the village.
* * *
“Heize!!!”
“Oh, Bell. long time no see.”
Returning to the village, I could see a chubby man standing at the center of the group of merchants who had arrived in the village.
Bell Might, the head of a money-making club and the eldest son of the Mait Trading Company.
At my request, he came to a small village in the backcountry with a group of merchants belonging to his father’s Mait Company.
“… … Wow, that’s all-”
“The corpses of demons and monsters. There are still only weak ones, but if you go a little deeper, stronger ones will come out.”
“No, this is great enough. The corpse of a monster is different from the price of a normal monster’s corpse. This alone would be great.”
“okay?”
“Yeah, trust me. I’ll sell you right Oh, the fee is 10%.”
“My junior DC… … .”
“uh? Where am I? Who am I?”
“… … Sell it well.”
“Thank you, sir.”
That’s why merchants are.
After one shot of a bell mite that cuts out my words at once, regardless of the feelings I had until now.
I handed over all the corpses I had brought to him.
“Oh oh.”
“It is worthwhile to come all the way here.”
“After all, you are the son of the Lord!”
The merchants who followed Bell Might could not hide their joy and began to count the corpses of monsters and monsters while dancing.
They quickly bounced the abacus, considering the damaged parts, etc., and came up with the best price they could offer.
“A total of 1,187 gold. I’ll give it to you for 1,200 gold.”
“Take it.”
“Haha, thank you. Here’s 1,080 gold limiting the fee. So, I wish you all the best in the future.”
A huge sum of over 1,000 gold.
Considering that Ardian Academy’s one-year scholarship is about 500 gold, it’s a huge price.
It was money that even a nobleman could not handle with care, but-
“Take it back and call me.”
“Haha, thank you. Hayes.”
I gave it back to Bell Might without hesitation.
Even if you hold money, the price goes up, but when you put it in the hands of someone with natural talent, it goes up like crazy.
Bell Might was a natural gift.
At least within the boundaries of a merchant.
After I handed over all the money I got from selling the body to such Bell Might, I relaxed my aching body and moved to the dormitory provided by the village chief.

Quad Duck!
Ever since I came to the village near the mysterious forest for field training, I have been very busy.
Due to the nature of the mysterious forest where many monsters appear, I wasn’t stupid enough to miss the opportunity to catch a lot of monsters and monsters and sell them off to make a lot of money.
For maximum efficiency for a short period of time, I quickly stopped hunting on the fourth day after repeating only hunting-hunting-hunting.
thud!
In front of me was a twin-headed troll whose head had been crushed at once to prevent blood from flowing.
The twin-headed troll, who smashed two heads at the same time and didn’t even have time to think, was a monster that even knights were afraid of.
However, after staring at such a twin-headed troll, I lightly lifted it up and went down to the village.
“I’m going to sell this and go to the elf village.”
A twin-headed troll will be the pinnacle of hunting for days at an age that has already oversaw a month’s worth of fieldwork assignments after a few days of hunting.
And when I returned to the village, when I saw the twin-headed troll’s corpse, I received a huge sum of over 10,000 gold from Bell Might, who was thrilled, and summoned Elena and Lily.
“Are you finally going to the elf village?”
“Yeah, are you looking forward to it?”
“Of course!”
After stroking Elena’s blushing face once in a while, unable to hide her pounding heart.
We slowly made our way towards the familiar center of the mysterious forest.
