123. dimensional rift
Ryan was a temporary presence, but the homeroom teacher made us all say hello to her.
“Luke told me that the next mission will not be easy, but I have no doubts that you will do well.”
After all, the saintess is the one who shines the brightest in an empty seat.
She spoke to everyone in a tone that seemed different from the one she used to shout on the bed.
“Huh? Sir. Is our next mission difficult?”

Kairin, who was standing next to Luke, poked Luke’s side with a playful look.
“Yeah. Maybe a kid like you won’t be able to come alive?”
“Don’t be silly.”
Laughing wildly, Kairin slapped the homeroom teacher’s back hard enough to make a loud noise.
It seems that a hand came out of the shadow of Raven who was watching it…
Calm down… Calm down! Raven!
Always acting like an emotionless inanimate object, she tended to run out of patience too easily when it came to her homeroom teacher.
“Thank you for getting things done right.”
Seria bowed her head in gratitude to Lian.
“Of course I just did what I had to do. You don’t have to bow your head to me. Warrior.”
The paladin who brought Lian opened the carriage door.
“I look forward to seeing you continue to work hard. I hope to see you again soon…”
It may look blind to everyone, but it was visible to my eyes.
The figure of a saintess winking slightly at me.
A delightful smile bloomed on his lips.
It’s my work. it’s my work
“town!”
I stepped on the tip of my shoe hard enough to cut my toe with Luna’s sharp tip.
That’s right.
You can see it in Luna’s eyes. Because Luna is also a demon.
I overlooked that fact and had to be punished.
The class 1 members, who had been raising their hands toward the moving carriage, all gathered at the gymnasium according to the instructions of the homeroom teacher.
“Now, gentlemen. I think everyone has learned something from the last dispatch.”
I saw people nodding their heads here and there, as if everyone agreed with his words.
“How much time do you think we have left?”
“Isn’t that about two years?”
Arin actively responded to the homeroom teacher’s words today as well.
“Yes. Two years. There are about two years left until the final exam.”
The homeroom teacher who scanned us one round opened his mouth.
“You guys. Do you think you’ll be able to defeat the demon lord if you train with me or other classmates all day in this gym?”
It was a very fatal question.
To the homeroom teacher’s question, all of us in the class could not answer.
Because no one was sure.
If I swung my sword 100,000 times more than I do now, would I be able to defeat the demon king?
Will I be able to defeat Amelia if I put my neck on magic training every day until my mana runs out?
Of course, it was a certain fact that we would become stronger people than if we didn’t even do that, but our goal was not to become strong people.
Our goal was to defeat the demon lord.
“…Yes. Unfortunately, that’s impossible.”
At his words, Leon tried to refute as if he couldn’t understand.
“But rather than exert yourself, someday…!”
“You’re right. It might happen someday. Not until after all human beings are engulfed in the black flames of the underworld and burned to death.”
After taking a moment to breathe, the homeroom teacher spoke in a low voice.
“You have to be reborn as a different being from the other academy students here right now.”
…What are you talking about?
I didn’t quite understand.
“I want you to think of all the classes I’ve done so far as warm-up exercises.”
“You guys should actually be a party of warriors. Then, of course, you should be at a level where you can fight on an equal footing with the giant demons.”
Luna’s and my gaze crossed in midair.
Perhaps what the homeroom teacher said from now on could be the hidden secret of the hero’s party.
“You will leave for a dimensional rift as of tomorrow.”
came out
Dimensional Rift.
I knew it, but when I heard it through my mouth, I felt nervous.
“That… is that true?”
Arin could see her eyebrows quivering.
“Yes. Really.”
“But there…!”
Certainly Arin was well versed in magic and seemed to know what a dimensional rift was.
“hahahahaha. What is that, why are you so scared? Arin. If you’re with me, there’s no problem!”
Seeing that Zeke laughed heartily today as well, it seemed that he had no idea what kind of place was waiting for him at all.
“Please be quiet.”
Arin shot at Zeke with an annoyed expression.
“Sir. As far as I know, I know that there is a place where you should never go in, right?”
Unlike usual, the homeroom teacher nodded obediently at Arin’s words.
“You’re right. Arin.”
“Are you forcing us to go in there?”
“…okay.”
“…It’s crazy. Isn’t it crazy!”
Arin vehemently protested to the homeroom teacher.
“If you go in, you can’t come back…”
Arin spoke in a low voice.
“Everybody doesn’t know what it means to go in there, so they’re just staying still! Everyone say something!”
At Arin’s scream, the classmates glanced at each other and started to notice.
“Hey. Do you know what that is?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Kane asked Yuri.
“I don’t know. But seeing you say that, isn’t it dangerous?”
hmm. You still don’t know
It was not strange not to know.
Humans who knew the rift in the dimension were more strange.
It was a place often entered by those who wished to reach the end of magic.
A place that defies all the laws of physics in this world.
A place where the flow of time is distorted.
A place where there is no fixed entrance or exit.
That place was a dimensional rift.
Luna, who had been taking lessons from Amelia-sama like me, had a rather serious face.
She also seemed to have no idea what the homeroom teacher meant.
Seria, who had been watching the situation, opened her mouth.
“Arin. Calm down. And teacher. Please explain exactly what a dimensional rift is and why we have to go there.”
The homeroom teacher began to explain as if he had been waiting.
“To begin with, you need a dramatic stimulus.”
“I admit it. You guys are strong enough. You’re strong enough to get a seat in any country.”
“But it’s absolutely not enough to deal with the Demon Lord. So for the rest of the period, we have to achieve maximum results with maximum efficiency.”
“How long do you think the lifespan of the great demons is?”
“There are definitely guys who are older than your ancestors. That’s why you training for one year and two won’t hurt them in any way. That’s the reality.”
The homeroom teacher’s explanation gradually cast shadows on the faces of our classmates.
Unfortunately, that was the reality.
“If you are going to resist an existence that cannot be helped with a human lifespan, you shouldn’t even think of defeating them with the same method of training.”
It was because everyone knew that no one responded to his words.
that there is nothing wrong with what he said.
“A rift in a dimension is literally a place where dimensions are dislocated.”
“The axis of time is also twisted, and the creatures found there are neither human nor demonic.”
“No one knows what you will face.
“But Arin. I won’t let you go just like you said.”
The homeroom teacher snapped his fingers and a small box appeared in his hand.
The homeroom teacher who opened the box gave us something that looked like a small piece of paper.
“Everyone. Never lose this.”
This…?
It was clear at a glance that the object in his hand was no ordinary object.
A very elaborate, first-of-its-kind magic circle was condensed in the paper.
“Perhaps with a high probability of entering there, you will be scattered elsewhere.”
“I also, of course, don’t want you to die.”
“So never. Don’t die in the rift of the dimension.”
“If you don’t die, the note will tell you the exit.”
So throw us into the rift and come out on your own.
Just this.
But it was very difficult to know what awaited us.
Even if I really started, I had no idea what to prepare for.
After a long time, I missed Master very much.
It’s indifferent, but you always explained each one well…
“…I’ll go.”
Seria spoke to the homeroom teacher in a determined voice.
“Yo… Hero!”
Arin, who was still skeptical about the mission, dissuaded her.
“No matter how much I received the note, this is crazy, right?”
“How many archmages went there and never came back!”
What she said must be true.
The reason why there is so little information about the dimensional rift is probably because the number of people who survived is so small.
“…we have to move on.”
“If that’s the only way we can defeat the demon lord…!”
Seria patted Arin’s head and spoke.
“If you don’t want to be with me here, it’s okay if you don’t.”
“I won’t force it. Each person’s life is precious.”
“But those who really want to be part of the warrior party, please join me.”
And like a lie, our class decided to head there.
