Chapter 127: Choice and Decision (2)
Vacation has begun.
In other words, the time has come when we must confirm the identity of something calling itself Poseidon in this country and the signs of civil war.
Frondier received information about his work schedule during the vacation from Carla, the rector. This was the same for Elodie.
The two confirmed their common vacation schedule and made a plan.
“I have to work for two weeks.”
“I work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so we’ll take turns.”
Even though it was vacation, I couldn’t rest right away. Of course, there are teachers like that, but the two of them ended up working for the first two weeks after the vacation began.
Of course, this was what they both wanted.
“Basileo still needs to be sorted out. “Same goes for Pielot.”
“Because the magic class hasn’t been completed yet.”
“Yes, I should also bring at least one more weapon.”
Two weeks is too short a time to gain something and grow.
However, there is enough time for maintenance.
If you have built up your skills through training and classes, you will optimize them during these two weeks.
“To be honest, since I have time, I want to go to the capital right away.”
Frondier sighed.
Arald, who was next to him, shook his head.
“You shouldn’t be impatient. “More preparation is the way to increase your odds.”
“That’s right. “If the war starts two weeks late, it is already too late to stop it.”
Lili also helped.
Selena said with her low eyes.
“Civil war, war, invasion by God or the devil… Either way, this is a major incident that cannot be quietly overlooked. “If there are any signs, it will most likely be conveyed here as well.”
“Everyone is calm and reassuring.”
Frondier said with a smile.
“… “Stir.”
And in the meantime,
Basileo, still not used to the atmosphere, raised his hand.
“You all seem calm. They say there might be a war. They say that God and the devil may appear.”
“It’s all because of this guy.”

Elodie poked Frondier on the back.
“Look at this calm and peaceful face. “Everyone is being fooled by this face.”
“… I’m not particularly in peace. “This issue is serious in its own way.”
“Of course you should. “Because everyone trusts you.”
An informal conversation between Frontier and Elodie. Basileo looked at this blankly.
So far, everything I’ve seen in the teacher’s office has been acting. For some reason, I got goosebumps.
“Of course, we have the benefit of having a face like that as our leader.”
Lili said with a chuckle.
“Because they all have war experience.”
“… Okay.”
Basileo heard from Frondier about the situation so far. It was a condition of becoming Frontier’s disciple.
Of course, there were terrible conditions that said there was no going back after hearing them, but Basileo, who did not know the situation, did not know that those were terrible conditions.
“She still can’t believe that Ms. Frontier was kicked out from another continent and came here.”
Everyone’s faces became subtle at Basileo’s words.
Although sometimes forgotten, it was a clear reality.
Frontier was driven out of the empire. Because of the charge of being the devil.
“He became a hero in the war and saved his country, but he was labeled as a devil by the people of that country.”
Basileo spoke with an angry face as if it were his own business.
Fron Deer, who was looking at this, opened his mouth.
“Actually.”
“Yes.”
“I don’t really feel it either.”
“Yes?”
Frondier smiled.
“Did he get kicked out, ran away, was hated by everyone, or was he sent off… “I’m not sure now.”
Frondier briefly remembered when he left this continent.
Of course, many people and the Zodiac gathered in the square were looking at him with suspicion and resentment.
However, none of the people who became friends with him turned their backs on him.
The Emperor and Empress were like that, his family was like that, Constell’s colleagues and friends were like that, and some of the Zodiac who believed in him were like that.
“I will go back someday.”
“… Because his family and friends are there?”
“Of course there is that too.”
Frondier scratched his cheek awkwardly.
“Because her mother’s orders were given.”
-On the day I return here, everyone who has harmed me will apologize.
─There will be no harm to me.
In fact, Frontier doesn’t know how to do that yet.
How can the fact that he is not a devil be conveyed to the Palind Continent?
That may be more difficult than dealing with this war.
“Now that I think about it, I’m a little curious.”
Frondier suddenly thought of something and tilted his head.
“I wonder what everyone is doing right now.”
Frontier made so many great connections there. The emperor and empress, the hero of the continent, and someone close to the great wizard were there, so I said everything.
How are they doing now? Is Frontier living a peaceful life now that most of the urgent fires have been put out? Or is there still another threat that Frontier doesn’t know about?
‘I’m not worried, though.’
Of course, there are many trustworthy people, but there is only one person among them.
There is Aster there.
With that alone, Frondier could confidently say that there was nothing to worry about more than here and now.
“… Frontier.”
Elodie, who was watching, smiled brightly.
“I miss you all.”
“Huh.”
Frontier nodded with deep sympathy.

Two weeks left until heading to the capital of the Palma Empire.
Front Deer still had school work to do, but once he had completed it, he spent most of his time fighting.
Because his thoughts changed when he saw the appearance of Basil Leo.
‘At first, I just needed a space for myself, but it seems that students are surprisingly interested in it.’
Combination of magic and combat. This is something everyone is reluctant to do.
To be precise, I think it’s a waste of time.
It’s difficult to reach the level just by digging down one path, but trying to do both. It is the fear of not being able to learn anything properly.
However, it is a different story if the person teaching it is a new teacher who has received the attention of all Atlas students and is also guaranteed to have excellent skills.
Students do not dislike the use of horse warfare. It’s the fear of not doing it right.
Demonstrating versatility in both magic and combat is something that would be admired by many, if possible.
‘In other words, if I create the curriculum properly and show its effectiveness, promising students will come to this class.’
The biggest advantage is that it does not discriminate between wizards and warriors.
Simply put, if Frondier is a teacher who only teaches magic, he will never meet Aias, and if he is a combat teacher, he will never meet Basileo.
From the moment he entered this world, Frondier was acutely aware of the need for companionship. Talented people are very welcome, regardless of field.
However, if you are only in charge of one field and cannot discover the gems of the other field, it would be such a waste.
Currently, Frontier is taking on both roles, but if this class functions properly, there is no need for that.
‘Besides, everyone still thinks of me as a magic teacher. The proof is that Ajax and Glaucus did not come to me in person until this class.’
In that sense, horse fighting is a class I want to do properly if possible.
Above all, it will directly help Frontier’s own growth.
“Therefore.”
Frondier sighed in the magic warfare classroom.
“They’re still creating the curriculum. Guys.”
Towards the students still gathered.
“Yes. I’ll wait.”
“I think it would be helpful just to look at it.”
“I just came.”
Basileo, Glaucus, and Ajax were here again.
You can’t believe they actually come here even on vacation.
That sincerity would have moved any teacher to the point of tears, but unfortunately, Frontier was just tired.
‘Not even Basileo.’
I knew Basileo would come. From the beginning, Basileo himself said it in advance. He said he would wait for him at the horse fighting class.
However, Glaucus and Ajax, who had been scolded quite harshly, did not give up and came back.
Glaucus looked around.
“But I can’t see Senior Pielot.”
Then he clenched his fists.
“hehehe, I guess I’m going one step further with this.”
“Whether you have Pielot or not, you go as far as you walk.”
“Yes, but… Uh? “Is that really true?”
Glaucus tilts his head at Frondier’s words.
Frondier sighed.
“Pielot is a separate class.”
“Omg? What a coward! “I also want to take separate classes!”
Glaucus said, but Fron Deer shook his head.
“There’s nothing to think about like that. “It’s because Pielot is not suitable for this class yet.”
“Not suitable?”
“Okay. “Out of all of these, his skills are the most crude.”
“Coarseness… ? “Are you Senior Pielot?”
Glaucus seemed unconvinced.
They sparred 1:1 right away and Glaucus lost. He had tremendous skill and experience.
Is that senior sloppy?
“Honestly, I think I’m the one who feels the worst…”
Glaucus volunteered. Because of that very point, Pielot was given a loophole and lost.
Frontier said:
“Are you okay. “Because Pielot’s case is strange.”
Although it was still difficult to understand, Glaucus nodded his head. Anyway, the important thing is that Glaucus can take classes for using magic weapons.
“Aias.”
And Frondier approached Aias.
Basileo and Glaucus were a little nervous.
On the day when Glaucus and Ajax were crushed by the black river of the Frontier, Ajax was the last one left.
So they don’t know what Aias and Frondire were talking about.
“… Yes.”
Aias answered while looking at Frontier.
“Have you made a decision?”
Frondier asked.
Ajax lowered his eyes at those words. He answered softly, as if he had no interest in looking at me.
“I haven’t done it yet.”
“… Good.”
But a smile spread across Frondier’s face, as if that was exactly the answer he wanted.
Frontier spoke to everyone.
“Now that you’re here, let me explain: This class doesn’t teach you any magic or combat skills beyond regular classes. Learn about that somewhere else. “This is not a place to teach such things.”
Basil Leo tilted his head at that.
“Then what do you learn?”
“This is for horse warfare. I’m literally going to assume a situation where combat and magic are mixed. And most things in practice are like this. The enemies aren’t just full of warriors or wizards shooting magic from afar. Create a combination that will give your opponent the most trouble. No more monsters. Even though they don’t move as accurately as humans, they have claws and teeth that give them enough power. Meanwhile, there are a lot of people who even use magic.”
As Frondier said, the stronger a monster becomes, the closer it becomes to a so-called ‘demon swordsman’ compared to a human.
They use and see anything and everything. Magic and status ailments such as flame, electricity, and poison, as well as their own threatening thorns and claws.
“To deal with guys like that, you have to understand their offense. “The purpose of this class is there.”
“… “Wasn’t this class for becoming a magic swordsman?”
Glaucus asked. Because I believed that it would definitely happen.
Frondier responded.
“I would suggest such a method, but it doesn’t really need to be done. The purpose of using magic and combat together is to allow people to experience and understand both. “It’s your choice whether to use both or not.”
“Are you telling me to try it and decide?”
“Because you won’t know unless you try.”
Glaucus nodded his head.
He certainly never thought he’d try using magic himself. Because I thought it was meaningless.
However, from Frondier’s perspective, whether they are wizards or warriors, they ultimately exist to defeat their enemies.
Frontier learned from Zodiac Monty.
If you lose your grip on the knife, you have to at least sprinkle sand.
So, if there is something better than sand to sprinkle, there is no reason not to have it.
“This class does not teach you to become a magic swordsman.”
Frontier said:
“It means becoming stronger.”
The three eyes shined.
