The ‘remnants of the Saratov rebels’ actually meant the survivors of Saratov.
The military did not distinguish between rebels and civilians. All except for those who were judged completely helpless, or including them were brutally suppressed.
In fact, the military probably killed far more people than the rebels killed.
That’s why the grudges of those who survived the brutal suppression became stronger and more dangerous.
Of course. Because there is nothing more to lose to them.
“… … There was a mission called, but you guys who are still freshmen don’t have to force yourself to participate. I have no intention of stopping you, but think carefully about whether you will become a burden before moving.”
During the inquiry time before the class started, an elderly professor wearing monocles delivered a message about the mission. Some confusion arose among the students, but no one showed any particular desire to participate.
“professor.”
“hmm. What is it, Mikhail-kun?”
When I raised my hand and called, the professor fixed the monocle. The fact that I called him by his first name instead of the crown prince is the reason I ordered him to be treated as a student among professors.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to write a respect.
“I want to participate in this mission, but what should I do?”
I briefly expressed my intention to participate and asked a question. The professor opened his eyes wide.
“… … I think Mikhail-kun will be able to prove himself enough without participating in such a dangerous mission, but how about it?”
The professor expressed his opinion that it would be better not to make it euphemistic.
“Even so, wouldn’t there be a big difference between having experience in the field and not?”
“That is true, but… … . I understand for now.”
When I replied as if I would not bend, the professor nodded as if embarrassed.
“I-I will participate too!”
“Professor, can you tell us more about the mission?”
And as if they had waited, other students rushed to apply or ask about the mission. The classroom, which had been quiet a moment before, suddenly became noisy like a market board.
“ha… … . Students wishing to participate are asked to fill out and submit an application in the office. After the screening, we will notify you of whether or not to participate.”
The professor replied with a sigh as if troublesome.
The screening of missions is quite strict.
Of course. Because it’s actually going to a place where you die and die.
If an unreasonable guy follows along and increases the load, it will be a nuisance to the other participants. It’s easy for a platoon to be wiped out by one person’s stupidity. So you have to be selective.
Thus, the participants in the final list were quite elite.
‘Perhaps thanks to rumors that I’m participating, it’s much more splendid than the original.’
Most of the characters who had their own weight in the original work, as well as the successors of famous samurai families, participated. There is even a Proud that didn’t come in the original.
In the meantime, the only commoner who existed was Eugene.
‘In the original work, I had a commoner friend. Doesn’t he look like a friend?’
I remembered the last time I saw Eugene’s sharp eyes. This is Eugene, who lost his father to the Saratov rebels. The grudge will surely be very great.
‘In the original work, while going through this mission, I understand the feelings of the people of Saratov a little bit, and I am determined to make Sangvis right… … .’
Judging from the current state of Eugene, such a healthy development is unlikely to happen. It seems that the Saratov remnant massacre festival will be held.
‘Looking at the situation, I don’t know if I should correct it.’
I laughed a little because I thought it was a very healthy idea for a foolish prince to do.
At the restaurant, I ate with Katyusha. Proud’s invitation was declined.
It was comfortable, but the reason was that it was difficult to grasp the atmosphere of the school if you stayed there. Proud seemed a bit disappointed, but he immediately agreed.
‘There’s no one who specifically talks to me.’
I expected the development of someone to argue with me or try to be friendly with me, but that didn’t happen.
I wonder if everyone was scared because he ran so flashy during the entrance ceremony. There were a lot of glares and stares, but that was all.
“Gossip gossip, it’s noisy. Would you like me to give you a warning?”
“it’s okay. Leave it alone.”
Perhaps it was because of Katyusha, who was more intent on killing me than me, and glared at me fiercely whenever I sensed her gaze.
By the way, it seems that there are rumors about Katyusha as ‘an assassin from the institution that came along to escort the crown prince’. It sounds silly at first glance, but it’s almost true.
‘… … From tomorrow, shall we just eat at the student council?’
I hoped for some event, but there is no room for it to happen. The food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either. Compared to Proud’s lunch box, it’s definitely below. Would it be similar to Katyusha’s cooking?
While I was thinking about whether I would go out after a rough meal and get some wind, I opened the restaurant door and someone came in. Without much thought, I looked towards it, and my breath caught.
“Sorry to interrupt your pleasant mealtime. Let everyone listen.”
A dark-haired man wearing a tight military uniform with numerous medals attached to his chest. Compared to the number of medals, he looked too young.
Alexey was a corps commander.
The second to realize the shocking fact that the corps commander had visited the cafeteria was a sophomore male student near the entrance.
“Gu, gu, corps commander?!”
He glanced back, then turned around completely, and finally shouted in surprise that he fell with the chair. At the same time, all the students in the cafeteria realized that the corps commander had come and hardened. The reason why there was no uproar must be that everyone was so shocked that they were so shocked that they couldn’t even afford to express their surprise.
‘Why is Alexei here?!’
It was no different for me. There was no such thing in the original. Alexei’s visit to the Knight Academy was near the end of the Knight Academy arc.
‘Could you come here because of me? Wait, maybe Eugene… … !’
I hurriedly looked around, thinking that if it was Eugene now, I might run into the corps commander. Fortunately, Eugene was nowhere to be seen.
But there were other risks.
“Ahhh, sleepy… … .”
After studying in the alchemy classroom all night, a tattered Berg opened the door of the restaurant and appeared.
“Bob, Bob. let’s eat rice… … .”
Ver, who was in a state of extreme exhaustion, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the restaurant without looking straight ahead——and finally buried his face in Alexei’s cloak.
Everyone in the restaurant shouted in their minds, ‘What are you doing, idiot!’
“hmm?”
Alexei turned around, puzzled. What is Ber, he rubbed his eyes with his sleeve and looked up at Alexei.
“uh… … Who are you, mister?”
And given the current situation, I gave the worst possible reaction. Some of the weak students in the cafeteria fainted. To be honest, I feel like that too.
“… … You look tired. Did you study hard?”
Alexei asked with a cute laugh. Behr yawned carefreely.
“Whoah. yes what… … . Umm… … ?”
And just before realizing that the man in front of him is an unusual person——.
“Be, be, Miss Bernadette! Let’s talk with me for a second! sorry!”
The nutritionist hurriedly dragged Ver and ran out of the restaurant. Alexey didn’t feel particularly offended, so he just smiled.
“You’re a diligent student, studying to the point of dozing off. But regular sleep is important, so everyone be careful.”
Then, as if to appeal that he didn’t care, he told the students in the cafeteria. The atmosphere of the restaurant, which had been rigid, relaxed a little. But I couldn’t get comfortable.
‘Alexei, that guy… … .’
While talking to Ver, Alexei’s left hand was on his left waist.
A dagger for self-defense is equipped there.
If Ber was judged to be a dangerous person or had offended him, he would have been decapitated at that moment.
Alexei, the Sangvis army commander, was a man who could do such a thing casually.
“… … Aww.”
Alexey’s eyes met. Alexei smiled slightly, as if he was happy to see him. The atmosphere around them was very disturbing.
“I thought you were eating here. You are frugal. Prince Mikhail.”
Alexey approached me, saying something that was either sarcastic or a compliment. I frowned slightly and looked up at Alexei.
“After dinner, let’s talk a little in a quiet place. Are you okay?”
“… … Nothing to say after dinner.”
I got up from my seat. There was no way Bob would fall for Alexei in front of him.
“Let’s go now. Let’s go, Katyusha.”
“All right.”
“Please wait a moment.”
The moment Katyusha stood up, Alexei said with a serious expression.
What am I going to say? A lot of thoughts ran through my head in an instant.
“Hmm.”
Alexey was looking up and down at Katyusha, who was wearing a school uniform, with a serious expression on his face.
“You have a good hobby.”
And he said with a smile on his face.
I wanted to hit a corps commander or something.

A quiet place to talk,
“hmm? Who are you, cool! Cool cool! Cool!!”
It was the student council room. When the door was opened and Corps Commander Alexei entered, Proud, who was eating a sandwich by himself, became agitated and coughed with great force.
“Okay, Corps Commander! Whoops, whoops! Ma, it’s an honor to meet you! This is Student President Proud!”
Then, he barely tidied up his lips and made a military salute, showing his respect. Even as a soldier, it was a trustworthy attitude.
“Are you the student council president? Judging by the color of his hair, he belongs to the family of fire magic.”
“That’s right! I still lack a lot, but if it’s for Sangvis Sangvis, I’ll give my all!”
“You have a good spirit. I wish my men were only half like you.”
Alexei stroked Proud’s red hair as he spoke loudly. Proud trembled for a moment, as if surprised, but soon calmed down without saying anything.
“Excuse me, but could you vacate your seat, Mr. Proud?”
“Ah, I see! It was an honor to meet you!”
After Proud saluted again, he hurriedly cleaned up his seat and left the student council room. It happened within 3 minutes of entering the student council room.
Alexei was treating the boss of the knight academy as if he were dealing with a timid big dog. I wonder if this is the difference in rank, I got a little fed up.
“You are a cute student.”
Even the evaluation was treated as a large dog. I let out a deep sigh.
“So, why did you come here all of a sudden without contacting me, Alexey?”
“I say it straight-forward.”
Alexei, who was looking at the door of the student council room, turned his gaze to me. It was a sharp eye that could sense even a slight murderous intent, without any hint of laughter before.
“Do not participate in the subjugation of the remnants of Saratov.”
