“You bastard Garcia.”
Someone’s unwavering cry echoed through the forest.
One of the honors boys, who had a high level of irritation due to the high humidity, was gossiping about Garcia.
iron puck.
Mud splashed on his pants, but he seemed familiar with this experience, unlike his other comrades.
His name is Jeno, an aspiring knight from commoners.
Because he was not a nobleman, he did not receive swordsmanship classes in his childhood, but it was a special case where he entered the Honors Class by swinging his sword with his own sense.
So he was proud of his skills.
I was making my own swordsmanship and drawing the outline of my own swordsmanship, but…
At Garcia’s threat, he had no choice but to back away like a dog with a tail.
“You’re like a dog.”
A knight he knows does not retreat from a crisis.
Destroy the enemies with honesty, and punish them with a sword.
That was the chivalry he knew, and that was the knight he knew.
But, how was Garcia from before?
Even though he was able to raise his major by catching enemies, he blew up the opportunity like a cowardly jolbo.
Garcia did not hesitate to do what the cowardly knights in history would do.
However, it was difficult for him to challenge Garcia and take the commander’s position…
I imagined myself holding a sword and slamming Garcia.
three sum? yes sum?
To be honest, I wasn’t sure.
Perhaps in one hit, the sword was lost and the neck was separated from the head.
As I drew a picture of my throat cut in my imagination, an eerie energy came from the nape of my neck and I stroked my neck.
” …under. “
spit out a sarcastic laugh
However, even if there are complaints, there is no objection.
Because Montegro Academy was meritocratic.
Even if you have complaints, if you don’t have the skills, you should keep your mouth shut.
…I understood that fact in my head, but my heart did not.
Power begins to enter the hand holding the sword.
I felt the urge to cut down on anything, so I went into the forest with my sword in hand.
It was also to find a place to escape from the rain, but he also wanted to cut down even the wild animals that wander around.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to go find something to eat, and I’ll bring you some food.”
“Well, I’m starting to feel hungry. Would you like to go with me?”
“I’m not going to go with you, I’m not a kid.”
“Then go.”
I’m about to leave behind my colleagues and go into the woods.
“?”
In the woods, the failing class that had been missed a while ago began to appear.
There were 5 people in Zeno’s field of vision, and they were slowly approaching this way, looking at Zeno indifferently.
“You bastards, are you going to attack with just those people?”
Jeno was grateful for the opportunity that had come to him and shed a bittersweet laugh.
He was a little angry at the fact that incompetent rats dared to attack him, but it was enough to cover up his annoyance by knocking down insects that didn’t even know the subject.
“What? Those bastards?”
“Wow, are you arguing that there are three of us now?”
The comrades who had just seen him off were also pulling out their swords by his side, perhaps feeling an unfamiliar intrusion.
If you beat them down and throw them in front of Garcia, Garcia’s expression will be quite impressive.
Thinking like that, Jeno grabbed the sword and started moving forward slowly.
And the other two comrades began to approach them slowly with a smile on their lips.
By the way.
” ok? “
“What, what, those guys.”
” …crazy.”
Something is strange.
Apparently there were five of them in sight, but gradually they began to appear in the forest.
Slowly appearing in the darkness of the forest… they were like shadow monsters that harmed people in the distant past.
The number of failing students is starting to increase.
Five or ten?
No, it’s roughly fifteen now.
They started to appear not only in the front but also in the rear, and only then did Jeno realize that he was being hunted.
Jeno and his two classmates clenched their teeth, and red blood was dripping from between their lips.
“f*ck it! I’m not scared at all if you come in a horde! Come on! You bastards!”
“Ha..ha..f*ck it.”
” …shit! “
The three of them pointed their swords at the students in the failing class who slowly approached them when they put their backs to each other.
However, the students in the failing class laughed among themselves and slowly began to surround them.
Like wolves looking for gaps in their prey.
They were now hunting, not fighting.
“…See you alive.”
” driving me crazy.. “
“Uh… I think we’re f*cked…?”
Some are determined
Some are ripping their heads off.
Some complained in weeping voices.
“Kill them all.”
However, the result did not change.
“” aah!!! “”
In the dark forest, an unknown scream began to resound.
However, the dark forest buried their screams.
It was a meaningless cry.
*******
The days in the forest are short and the nights are long.
The light from the sun had long since disappeared beyond the horizon, and even the moon that should have risen from the horizon disappeared.
Still, the clouds kept pouring rain.
No matter how knights and wizards were called beings that transcend humans, they could not recover the temperature that the cold raindrops took away.
And Luis Garcia, the leader of the honor class, also could not stop the chill that was slowly swallowing up his body.
They managed to avoid the rain by building a simple hut, but they couldn’t stop the chill coming up from the floor.
I had a bonfire to block the cold as much as possible, but… it was too much.
“…you’re late.”
With the bayonet on the floor, Garcia muttered while grimacing.
They sent several people from the detachment to find a place to shelter from the rain, but they didn’t come back.
“..Have you even met a Dark Bear?”
Suddenly, he thought of the dark bears that often appear in the forest, but Garcia dismissed his thoughts.
Even if they had met the Dark Bear, who was famous for its viciousness, there was no way the honor class students couldn’t resist a single Dark Bear.
“Garcia, it’s been a few hours since my classmates left. Shouldn’t we go find them?”
” ..Soon the night will come, Vivian. The night in the forest is dark and dangerous.”
“Then what?! Let me sleep here? On this filthy, damp, muddy ground?”
“It can’t be, first of all, let’s go back to the base.”
“What about the guys who don’t have contact?”
” …I search in daylight. Moving now is suicidal.”
” under. “
Dissatisfied with Garcia’s indecisive decision, Vivian scoffed.
As she looked at herself, who trusted Garcia’s judgment and turned into a mouse that was hit by the rain, Vivian’s distrust of Garcia was slowly building up.
Garcia today was honest and strong, not her usual appearance, but an overly cautious coward.
“Garcia, I thought you were wrong, but I believed and followed you, because you are an official recognized commander by the professor. But look at us now!”
At Vivian’s words, Garcia turned her head and looked at the students.
” …cold. “
” I want to rest… “
“Eighteen, who is making us suffer like this?”
They were all shivering in the cold like rain-soaked mice.
Normally, they had to take off their clothes soaked in the rain to maintain their body temperature, but most of the students in the honor class, who were nobles.
He was wearing rain-soaked clothes.
“If I had followed those guys earlier, this wouldn’t have happened! There’s no such thing as shivering in the cold and not being able to rest properly!”
“…let’s get over that issue and move on.”
” ..over the cover? Whose will?”
” stop… “
” …help me. “
squeaky.
About the time Vivian and Garcia’s quarrel began.
Suddenly, the door to the hut began to slowly open with a creepy sound.
“?!”
“aah!”
A sudden emergency.
The knights, including Garcia, held their swords, and the wizards hurriedly grabbed their wands.
Is it an enemy invasion?
No, his voice was too desperate for that to happen.
“..wait.”
At Garcia’s words, all of the honor class members nodded their heads slightly.
On their behalf, Garcia slightly opened the door to the hut, and what came into Garcia’s sight.
” …ga…le..sia..sa..ryo..”
It was Jeno who came back with blood.
Jeno desperately grabs Garcia’s pants with her scarred hands.
” ..what happened?”
” ..Nok..Jean..Those.. Guys…”
Garcia grabbed Jeno’s trembling hand and supported her, but Jeno left a meaningful message and lost consciousness.
Garcia holding Jeno’s droopy body and making a blank expression.
“What’s going on?! Kid..Is she Xenoa?! Why…why..bloody?”
” …I do not know. “
Vivian looked at Jeno’s face with scabs and asked Garcia with a surprised expression, but Garcia was equally confused.
Well, the words I could understand…
failing class.
Garcia’s head began to spin.
A separate dongdae that has not been contacted so far.
Jeno came back covered in blood.
And the keyword left behind by Jeno, who is losing consciousness, is the failing class.
Situations that have been fortune-telling are gradually synthesized and resolved.
As soon as one keyword was inserted into the painted mind, the question began to be resolved, and as the question was resolved, something hot began to rise in her heart.
” ….under. “
Garcia let out an empty laugh.
It wasn’t his anger towards the failing class, but it wasn’t his anger towards Vivian, who had just been bullied against him.
I was just angry with myself.
His anger began to rise at himself as he was hit with a blow by those who implicitly ignored the failing class.
why didn’t you notice
Why was it so rude?
The feeling of being a commander who must lead the motives began to weigh heavily on Garcia.
It’s never been a place where I’ve felt uncomfortable…
Facing Jeno, who returned with blood.
Garcia began to feel a deep sense of a heavy and heavy responsibility.
Because of his lack of self, he pushed them into limbs.
He made them shiver in the cold because he lacked confidence.
Because of their lack of self-confidence… they are suffering now.
I hated the stupid and foolish knights I saw in children’s books, but… isn’t that the way I am now?
” ..haha… “
An empty mockery flows out.
It wasn’t a laugh that came out of joy or indifference.
just…
just.
I was so angry.
” ..Ha ha ha ha ha! “
Garcia didn’t want to admit that she ate a bite.
But I had to admit, I had to be honest.
because.
“Go back to the base right now and reorganize it, Vivian.”
Because he was the commander who had to lead them.
