Orc Champion and Orc Tyrant.
In order to subdue the orc horde where two types of superior species appeared, we went outside the academy.
A wagon is used as a means of transportation, but instead of an ordinary horse, a monster named ‘Bicon’ is tamed to pull the wagon.
Bicorns have superior physical abilities than normal horses, so they can move much faster than wagons in the real world… is a setting that
‘If you set the speed based on a real medieval wagon, it would take too long to move and it would interfere with the story development.’
However, it took two days to reach the destination.
Orcs appeared in the territory of a local noble called Baron Juvester, so they first met Baron Juvester.
“Oh, come on!”
Baron Juvester came right out and greeted us.
His face was very emaciated because he had suffered a lot.
“Usually, there were at most five or six Orcs when they appeared, but one day, dozens suddenly settled in the mountains… Every time they come down to town, they do a lot of damage!”
Baron Juvester said, pointing his finger at the distant mountain.
“I formed a subjugation squad by requesting reinforcements from the surrounding area, but it was destroyed without much success! That’s why I asked the Lichtenauer Swordsman Academy for help!”
It was Baron Juvester who talked so hard, but he suddenly stopped.
“There, but… … .”
“Why?”
When Claude asked, Baron Juvester looked at us with a suspicious look.
“Is this all?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The troops from the academy… Is this all?”
Claude and Matthews.

Me and Heinrich.Baron Juvester frowned while checking if there were all four of them.
“Besides, the two… I still look like a child.”
“Baron, I can understand your hatred.”
Claude said with a smile.
“It was no use gathering dozens of people to form a subjugation squad, but you wouldn’t have any confidence in subjugating the orcs with only four people.”
“No, it’s not really like that… … .”
“By the way, Baron, how many Graduates were there in the subjugation squad?”
“Graduate?”
Baron Juvester thought for a moment.
“I think there were two or three people… … .”
“How smart were those people?”
“It’s an army borrowed from outside, so to be precise… Because I am not familiar with swordsmanship.”
“okay. My guess is that they were probably the ones who didn’t make it any further at the beginning of the grade.”
“The beginning of Graduate… … .”

Most of the swordsmen who are friendly and supportive in the frontiers are the beginning of grades.This is because even if you become a lower grade graduate, you can work in a more prosperous place.
“Me and Matthew here are intermediate grades… It’s two levels higher than them.”
“Graduate Intermediate… … .”
“And the students here… … .”
Claude glanced at me and Heinrich and said,
“I can’t tell you in detail, but they are the sons of famous and prestigious families. They have already reached the lower grades at this age.”
“If it’s a lower grade grade… … .”
“The students here will be much stronger than the Graduates who participated in the subjugation team.”
“… … !”
Baron Juvester looked at our faces in turn.
But it was still hard to believe.
“Assistant professor, how long are you going to waste your time?”
Just then, Heinrich spoke in a cold voice.
“I think it would be faster to go and get rid of them in person than to explain them all here.”
“… … !”
Baron Juvester’s eyes widened at Heinrich’s cheeky attitude.
Even Claude had a puzzled expression on his face.
“Hey, anyway… … .”
“Assistant professor.”
I got in the middle.
“I don’t think that’s very wrong. From the baron’s point of view, it wouldn’t be very reliable if only four people would arrive and subdue the orcs.”
“Uh… … .”
“So, let’s go and deal with it quickly so that the Baron can rest assured.”
Having said that, I beckoned to Mateus, and Mateus hurriedly took the papers and stepped forward.
This is because they had to sign a contract before going on a subjugation.
“Then, Baron, please sign this document first.”
“Uh… All right.”
Baron Juvester was skeptical and filled out the paperwork.
After signing, we decided to head off to the mountain where the orcs were staying.
“By the way, Baron.”
Before leaving, I asked Baron Juvester one last question.
“Didn’t you ask the Lancaster family for help?”
“The Lancaster House… … .”
When referring to the name of the swordsman with the strongest power in the West, Baron Juvester made a confused expression.
“The Lancaster family seems to have some internal problems these days… We are not lending our power to the neighboring families.”
“okay.”
When Lester Lancaster was expelled from the academy, the head of the state, Henry Lancaster, was also put at risk.
Since we have to think about how we should move here, we have to wait for all the troops at the main house for a while.
‘If the Lancaster family, who reigned as king in the West, was silent, the security of the West, which was not good enough, would inevitably worsen.’
If the situation in the west becomes chaotic, the academy located in the west will also be affected.
Several families will also take advantage of the chaos to move.
‘There are not many days left when the noise starts in earnest.’
With that in mind, I headed to the mountain where the orcs were gathered.
* * *
“They built a fortress by stacking stones and dirt.”
Claude said, staring at the mountain from the top of the tree.
Since you are strengthening your eyesight with magical powers, it will look as if you were using a telescope.
“Since the fortress was guarded by an orc champion, it would have been no match for ordinary subjugation.”
With that said, Claude came down from the tree.
“The battle will take place in two stages. The first step is to break through the fortress guarded by the orc champion… … .”
“The second step is to defeat the orc Tyrant who is tucked away inside the fortress.”
As I spoke, Claude nodded.
“right. To be honest, it’s like killing an Orc Champion and Orc Tyrant and it’s all over. The rest are just dwarf orcs.”
Normal Orcs can be easily defeated even at the entry level of Graduate.
It doesn’t matter if it’s all of us who are middle-class and lower-class graduates.
“First, think about defeating the orc champion and breaking through the fortress.”

Matthews opened his mouth.“What should I do.”
“How would you like to do this?”
I painted on the floor.
“Orc champions are strong, but poorly intelligent. They attack the fortress from multiple directions, disperse the orc defense forces, and then surprise the orc champions when they are on the move.”
“Hmm… Orc champions tend to be less intelligent?”
“As far as I know, yes.”
Hearing my words, Claude and Matthews fell in thought.
“Considering the terrain, I think it’s not a bad operation… … .”
“It’s better than a head-on break.”
I opened my mouth again in front of the two who murmured like that.
“Then I think Assistant Professor Claude and Heinrich should take over the role of dispersing the orcs.”
“I?”
Heinrich, who was listening, frowned.
“Why do I have to be the bait?”
“Because you have better mobility.”
Heinrich boasts the fastest speed among academy students.
Orcs are on the dull side and will not be able to respond easily.
“Move back and forth on the fortress and confuse them. That’s something I can’t do.”
“Uh… I can’t help it.”
Heinrich nodded.
Also this guy… If you gently persuade him by saying, ‘You are better,’ he will grant you a request.
Because it was the same in the novel.
“I know that Assistant Professor Claude is also very good at spiritualism. right?”
“I never told you, but you know.”
Claude scratched his curly hair and smiled.
“Then, are you and Matthews fighting an orc champion?”
“Yes, it may depend on the circumstances.”
“great. Look at the situation and let us help too.”
The operation was decided.
Now all that remains is to put it into action.
“then… Let’s move.”
“Yes, assistant professor.”
We approached the mountain using spiritualism.
First, Claude and Heinrich moved left and right, respectively, and I and Matthews approached the front a little slowly.
“Kaak!”
“Kaah!”
Before long, the cries of the orcs began to resound in the mountains.
Claude and Heinrich jumped into the fort and started to confuse them.
Orc champions will try to repel the invaders who attack the fortress, but they will be in chaos as they are moving from side to side.
“Kieek!”
“Keek!”
The screams of the orcs were heard one after another.
Looking at the short interval, Heinrich was moving quickly and beating the orcs’ necks.
“Assistant Professor Matthews, we are moving too.”
“Oh, yes, I see.”

Matthews followed my instructions.Unlike Claude and Heinrich, who were moving loudly, they quietly climbed up the wall and infiltrated.
‘He’s there.’
A muscular orc that is 2.5 times larger than other orcs.
In his hand he had a large sword suitable for his size.
Although it is a crudely built sword, its weight alone would be enough to crush a person with one blow.
“Kaak! Yellow skinned guys… … !”
Contorting his hideous green-gray face, the Orc Champion was bouncing back and forth.
Now, the screams of the orcs are resounding all over the place, so it’s impossible to just leave it to the subordinates and sit still.
But catching up with Claude and Heinrich’s spiritualism… With the slow movement of an orc champion, it was almost impossible.
“I will take the lead. Follow me, Ernas.”

Matthews went first.Since his name is an assistant professor, he must have thought it was natural to take the lead over the students.
“Kaah!”
But right after that.
The orc champion, noticing the approach, raised his eyes and rotated his body.
A large sword wielded with a gigantic body attacked Matthew.
“Wow!”
thud!
With a roar, Matthew was pushed back.
It’s a shame because he was defending with his sword, and if he had attacked properly, he would have been seriously injured.
“This Orc Champion… … !”

Matthew’s eyes widened.Perhaps it was because the orc champion was stronger than he knew.
“Because of the Oak Tyrant.”
“What?”
“The dominance of the Orc Tyrant maximizes the combat power of the Orc Champion.”
“Eh, Ernas, how are you… … .”
Leaving Matthew in his embarrassment, I stepped forward.
“Assistant Professor Matteus, other orcs are coming. I want you to take over.”
“Ernas, what now… … .”
“Kaah!”
Whik!
The orc champion swung a huge sword at me.
However, it was not as it was with Matthews.
It was because I had already moved using the Lichtenauer new magic.
“Kaak?!”

My sword slashed the orc champ’s side.But there was only a little bleeding.
This kind of attack is not enough to pierce through the thick muscles of an orc champion.
‘It’s difficult for Heinrich to inflict a fatal wound on an orc champion with his current skills.’
He can use his speed to inflict minor injuries, but he can’t put a decisive shot to stop him from breathing.
Knowing that, I entrusted Heinrich with the role of bait.
“This yellow flesh… aah!”
Roaring in a harsh voice, the orc champion rushed at me.
But this attack did not reach me either.
‘Cause I’ve jumped again
‘Original orc champions also have an aspect as a warrior who can handle weapons well.’
However, now the Orc Champion is excited and wielding a greatsword at random.
Because he had a bad brain and was hot-tempered, he fell for our strategy and lost his reason.
‘If you are full of gaps like this, you can attack as much as you want.’
He twisted his body in the air and took a pose.
Just like the last time he defeated Mateus, he was trying to combine Lichtenauer’s new magic with Balahail’s heavy swordsmanship.
However, today does not end there.
‘Here… Callesius spear swordsmanship is also combined.’
As the maximized magical power was deployed on the blade, the sword flashed blue.
A slash like a lightning bolt fell at the orc champion who opened his eyes wide and looked up at me.
