047. Class D-3 (1)
‘Whoa.’
Let’s stay calm.
My excited mind never calms down.
I checked my assignment card again.
-Priest class 3rd year Victor Tenivian ★
-Syana Plaen, 1st Year Magician
-Cain Abella, 1st Year Combat Class
-Combat 1st year Aren Blackfire
‘It’s cool even when it hits the goal.’
The members were so amazing.
It makes me wonder how they got it this way.
Aside from the explosive personalities of the members, if you look closely, it was a very well-balanced combination.
First of all, Viktor with an asterisk. So… … Corruption priest and my roommate.
The asterisk next to his name signifies that he is the captain of this team.
External missions must have at least one 3rd grader. You have accumulated enough experience, and you must have the skills and leadership.
However, he was not a combat type, so he had to supplement his combat power with the rest of the members.
That’s why two combat cadets were added.
It’s class A, but the assignment was assigned to D rank, so it must have been difficult to select.
Anyway, the balance wasn’t too bad since the two students who were in the first year, but were in class A, were put into the third year teacher class.
Me and Cain fight while tanking from the front, and Viktor blesses and heals.
And the last thing is to fill it with magic cadets who will be in charge of firepower.
As expected, it would be perfect if a class B class magic cadet were included.
But here comes a problem.
The magic cadet who came in like that was none other than Shiana.
Even if Shiana receives an A-rank mission right away, no one will rebel.
‘But why is Cyana ranked D?’
Hey Viktor, it’s not your graduation test mission yet, so you must have gotten a D rank while taking care of the part-time job.
After assigning a rank for each class, the list was transferred to the Cadet Management Division, so there was no way that Zeroth had any influence.
If Zeroth had a hand, the members would have been the worst.
‘What the hell is going on.’
It felt good to have Siana’s reliable power together, but I couldn’t help but have doubts.
Looking at the members alone, I thought it was enough to go on an A-rank mission right away.
Let’s just think about the results. Nothing bad at all.
The more you chew, the corners of your mouth rise.
No matter what mission… … .
‘Can’t I just take the bus?’
No, I don’t need anything else. As long as there is Siana, the game is over. nothing more to see
There is no comedy when you think of taking on the mission of finding cats as this member. It’s more like a waste.
‘It’s good for me.’
“At the bottom of the back, the time and place of each gathering will be written. Would you mind checking the members’ faces after today’s class and listening to the explanation from each team leader?”
“Yes!”
The cadets responded energetically to Gilead’s speech, which appeared after a long time. Gilliott seemed a little moved.
* * *
Cain and I headed to the rendezvous point. The meeting place for Class D-3 is the 2nd floor of the 3rd grade teacher building.
“I didn’t know I was going to be with you. I am surprised.”
Walking side by side with Cain, I realized once again that the outside mission member was ridiculous.
“It’s the same D-class, so it could be.”
I just didn’t express it. Keep a sullen expression.
Cain glanced at me and said, ‘Huh.’ He looked ahead again.
“Sianna, you know too. What kind of senior is Victor?”
Cain was surprisingly active in external missions.
Is it because of the expectation of being able to go out, or is it because there is an opportunity to prove oneself by being active? Whatever it is, it looks more excited than usual.
“Do you want to say something?”
I didn’t say anything, so Cain pouted and scolded me.
“Not at all.”
What to do when you have nothing to say
“Ugh. I’m a fool for expecting it.”
“… … What do you expect?”
“you do not have to know!”
Cain huffed up and entered the priesthood building.
.
.
.
.
.
When we went to the meeting place, Cain and I were the first to arrive.
We sat side by side in roughly arranged seats and waited for the other two.
After a while, Viktor entered in a commotion.
“Five. Were you here first, you guys!?”
Sianna came in after him, but Viktor hesitated after seeing Sianna and me passing him.
Then, the shape of his mouth was drawing ‘Ah!’. Why are you winking again?
‘That human… … .’
It feels like a willingness to pretend not to know the relationship between me and Sianna. I’m pissed.
After giving me a light greeting, Viktor headed towards Cain. What did you say in a whisper, ‘I won’t disturb you’? I’m mad.
Contrary to Viktor’s lively greetings, we didn’t react much.
Just ‘yes’ or ‘hello’. Just the same insipid answer.
I thought the atmosphere would be really awkward, but it was really suffocating when I shut up in person.
While Viktor was talking hard to lighten the atmosphere, Ciana was behind me before I knew it.
“Aren, how are you?”
“Ah, yes. Siana.”
A strangely cold voice.
She had a chair in her hand.
“Can you make me a seat?”
“uh? Sit next to me.”
I gestured to my left. Siana didn’t move.
“Yes, Aren. I want to sit here.”
Shiana said, pointing between me and Cain. It was a bit cramped for Sianna to sit.
Cain looked up at Cyana blankly. Sianna didn’t even look at her.
‘Hmm… … .’
Siana standing calmly. I have a bad feeling, so I think I should hurry up and get out of the way.
Without further ado, I pulled the chair aside.
Shiana said ‘Thank you?’ and squeezed in through the narrow space. Siana’s shoulders and thighs were almost touching me.
I, Siana, and Cain were seated in the order.
“Heungheung~”
Siana was humming, but only her lips appeared to be smiling. Somehow I wasn’t in a good mood.
“uh? Cain was there too. Hello Caindu?”
Cyana greeted Cain with a wide smile as if she had recognized Cain belatedly.
“Ah, yes. Sianna, how are you?”
“yes. so so.”
Cain awkwardly accepted the greeting from Cyana, who suddenly intervened.
A strange tension passed.
It is a seat of restlessness.
In fact, Victor covered his mouth and laughed. What are those strange eyes?
“… … .”
It was quiet yet untidy.
Viktor, who had been watching all of this, opened his mouth.
“haha! It’s usually awkward when you first meet. Are you still good friends? The three of them sticking together.”
If it was someone other than an insider like Viktor, it would have been difficult to endure this situation.
“Then are you done with the greetings? Then it will be my turn now?”
Viktor steadfastly continued. Even so, because of the juniors who didn’t even respond, somehow, he seemed to be having the hardest time.
“Aren is my roommate, and I know Siana, but the other one is not dating me, right?”
“This is Cain Abella.”
Viktor seemed to be thinking of getting acquainted with Cain first, so he left me and Siana alone and continued the conversation.
“Aren, Aren! Are we in the same class?”
Shiana, who had been quietly watching me, suddenly spoke to me. He doesn’t seem to care at all what Viktor says.
Cain looked at me for a moment, then Viktor spoke and turned back to him.
“I know. What happened? Shiana, you’re on a D-class mission.”
Actually, that’s nonsense. How big is the magic professor who entrusted Shiana with a D-class mission?
“yes? Alas, that! Hey, the new magic professor asked for help, so I went with him to the Cadet Management Department! Hey Aren! There is a list of missions outside of combat!”
“Aha.”
“So I saw that Aren was there. Aren was assigned a D-class mission!”
Even though she was a first year student, she was given a class A mission as an exception, and she begged the professor to make her a class D-3 on the spot.
Did you want to be in the same class as me? At first, he seemed to have made an excuse to be put in this class because he was acquainted with Viktor.
I wondered if there were any nonsense like that, but given the status of Shiana in the academy, it was more than enough to understand.
Because when it comes to Siana, everyone dies. Whether or not Cyana accepts D-class missions, her skills and reputation are not affected in any way.
“I was so stubborn! If it’s not Class D-3, I won’t go on a mission! he-“
“That, yes… … ”
“Did I do well?”
Do I have to say that I did well?
“yes. Don’t overdo it though.”
“yes! Okay! Still, I’m worried about Aren.”
How does it feel to be protected by Siana?
Shiana smiled and looked at Viktor and Cain again.
It seems that the two of them finished their greetings awkwardly. Even Viktor couldn’t be friendly with Cain.
Cain’s iron wall was amazing.
“Hmm. Now, guys, can you focus again? Now let’s get to the point.”
After a brief greeting, Viktor brought the members together. Even if it was messy in the beginning, you have to take it seriously from now on.
“yes!”
Seeing Shiana’s lively answer, which made me feel better, Cain and I followed suit.
“Hmmmm. great.”
Viktor began to inform us of the necessary preparations and precautions for going out on missions.
“Everyone knows that you have to take care of your personal equipment first, right? Combat weapons and armor. Magic wands, orbs, etc. Also, each person must bring their own potion or buff potion. know?”
“yes.”
“Yes.”
“Still, since our mission this time is Class D, we won’t need anything grandiose. I’m glad, really.”
Victor let out a sigh of relief, saying that thanks to this mission, he would be able to rest comfortably.
It must be because the third year knows how easy the D-class mission is.
On the other hand, Siana and Cain, who don’t know anything, look a little nervous.
“Ugh. What if I run into a monster?”
Siana makes a creepy expression and talks to herself.
‘Don’t worry, you can tear them apart no matter what monster you meet.’
Siana tore up monsters… … .
“Are there any cases where you encounter monsters during D-class missions?”
Cain raises his hand and asks. It was like Cain who meticulously checked everything. Even if it’s something you already know.
“Well. Well, it’s not very unlikely, but it’s not at all possible. At least I’ve never heard of such a case while I was at the academy.”
“is that so?”
“yes. To encounter monsters, you have to do at least a B-class mission. Very occasionally, I run into low-level monsters on C-class missions, but as long as there are 3rd year cadets, I don’t mind.”
Viktor then patted his chest. Even though he would be helpless if a monster appeared because he was a priest.
Well, I will heal you until I kill the monster, does that mean?
Cain listened to Viktor’s words and took notes.
It really is the standard of a model student.
Viktor, in his own way, seemed to be moved by Cain, and began to tell him enthusiastically.
‘I’m trying to get points from Cain.’
I listened to Viktor’s explanation with a sad face.
From what I’ve heard, it’s all basic stuff. Even things completely unrelated to the mission.
Hearing more would be a waste of time.
You should quickly check what kind of mission you have been entrusted with and have a strategy meeting. It’s only a D-class mission, but there’s one thing that gets in the way.
It is the “Evil Spirit of Hereith Castle” mission.
It’s the only trap hidden between peaceful D-class missions.
However, a member like this would not be a trap, but a jar of honey.
There is no danger because there is Cyana, and I can use my knowledge to pick and eat only what I need.
“Seniors.”
“yes? Aren? Do you have any questions! What is it? good! What? This senior will answer all of them!”
“So what is our mission?”
Usually at the first meeting, the 3rd year cadet, who is in charge of the team captain, comes after confirming the mission in advance.
He knew that Viktor was taking his time like that, and he was doing that.
“ah? right! You forgot the most important thing.”
Now, something seemed to be going in the right direction for this meeting. I was still so crazy.
Viktor opened the document that was delivered to him separately. It was a mission request written by the requester and sent to the academy.
“Now, read everyone.”
Academy request request!
As if a beast had settled in a small castle that is now in ruins from a month ago, you can hear its cry every night.
Every night the child cries and the woman trembles with anxiety.
Unfortunately, there is no manpower to chase a wild boar in our village, so we request a request like this.
All the residents of Hayes.
‘… … !’
I never thought this would really be assigned to me.
It’s always like this.
I’m not even Conan, something explodes everywhere I go… … .
This should be lucky, it shouldn’t be.
If I hadn’t known the secret behind this mission, I would have spat at it as ‘lucky one’, but it’s different now.
Unless Ackerman is in charge of this mission anyway, if another cadet with no skill takes over, only misfortune will happen.
‘I’d rather take care of it.’
Rather, it’s a good thing.
“Is it just a matter of kicking out the beast that has settled in the old castle?”
Cain thought hard as he read the request.
“yes. It must be a wolf or a wild boar. It won’t be a big deal.”
I assure you, Victor.
It was a natural reaction since you would have seen something like this in D-class missions.
“If it’s just an animal, even ordinary people can solve it.”
“I’m just saying this because I don’t know. Originally, many D-class missions are really trivial. It was a request for a beast to come down from the mountain and catch the livestock, but when we went there, the dog living next door caught and ate the livestock. Ordinary people get scared first and entrust the request.”
Cain was a really pure freshman himself.
On the other hand, Siana seemed to have no idea. If it’s just a monster, it’s scary, and if it’s an animal, it’s a cute animal.
“Nothing to worry about, everyone. You’ll just have to go and go around the village and come back.”
At the same time, Viktor suggested that the meeting be over here, and that we have a party to celebrate becoming a team.
“I… … Aren’t there separate team trainings?”
Usually, before going out on a mission, the team gathers together to get together.
Cain had heard of it, so he asked.
“Well, it must be a beast at best… … . Does it have to be that hard?”
Viktor seemed to want to end the meeting quickly. Since it’s a D-class mission I’ve been assigned for the first time in a long time, I must be feeling relaxed and wanting to play.
No matter how Cain was, he couldn’t easily express his opinion because it was said by a third-year senior with more experience than himself.
If it’s really a wild boar or a wolf, it’s a level that can be driven out with a torch.
It would be disappointing for Cain. It’s because you didn’t come to the academy just to solve that.
It will remind me of the damned Zeroth assigned to D-Class. angry and hot Cain rolled his fist under the table and clenched it.
“Everyone trusts me. Class D missions are nothing really. From now on, I will be taking on tedious duties, but I like to take it easy at first.”
Viktor conciliates with plausible words.
However… … .
It’s a pity to play like this.
I have no interest in playing.
‘I need to get the team together at least once.’
I don’t have to worry because Shiana is there, but it’s because she’s good.
The boss of 「The Ghost of Herace Castle」 is not as easy as you might think.
As always, it is something that may happen again this time.
At the very least, it was necessary to know the current skills of Viktor and Cain.
“Will you wake up! I’ll talk about the details while we eat.”
Viktor’s lips were already hanging over his ears at the thought of drinking.
Cain is making a puzzled face, and Shiana looks only at me as if she is happy.
Looks like I’m the only one who can convince Viktor.
I said to Viktor’s head as he was about to turn around.
“Seniors.”
“uh?”
“But let’s put the sum together.”
