22 – Raid

Raid

In the first spot, the groups divided into classes were mixed together, but in class B, only groups 7 and 8 overlapped.

Since we have to change the team, we can move to the next point only when all groups arrive. However, even after waiting for a long time, there is no sign of the 8th group coming.

“What’s going on?”

“I’ll take care of it. We just need to rest comfortably at this time.”

Zeroa, who saw the flares explode on the way to the point, speaks worriedly, but Lai lies on the floor and says as if she doesn’t care.

I understand up to Lai, but next to him, Philia and her three close friends are lying in a comfortable position. She even laid down her blanket and settled down, chewing on her smoked meat as if she was not worried about her and singing her hum.

“Hee hee hee~ hee hee~ it’s delicious~ hee hee hee~ Huh? Why?”

“No.”

As Zeroa looks away, Sesset notices his feelings and smiles.

“No need to worry. Zeroa is always worried.”

“But it’s too late.”

“Yeah, I guess doing what needs to be done. If Philia says it’s okay, she’s fine.”

As if eating a snack, he asked as he ate a piece of raisin while watching the three-set go to her meat again.

“I have a lot of trust in him.”

“Yes, if you ask me which of the people I know I trust the most, I would trust Philia, not my grandfather.”

Sesset’s grandfather is famous as a wizard.

As a member of the same generation as Vice-Chief Bright, he was also a court mage in the Empire before the word “Purity” Was attached to mage.

“Isn’t your grandfather that picky wizard? He’s a wizard, but he’s outspoken and beats kids with his fists.”

“Huh? Are you swearing at Grandpa? I’m going to.”

“I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

Sesset’s grandfather, Neufmar, had run into Rai several times. No matter how much his impression has changed, he is someone who even served as a court mage, so there is no way he would not recognize Rai.

He doesn’t really try to hide it, but Lai, who didn’t want his story to go into the openly known person, immediately apologizes and backs off.

I thought it was a joke, and 8-jo came to the point belatedly while Se-se-se was chatting with Rai.

But there are only three people, including Philia.

Everyone looks at her wide-eyed, but when Sessett doesn’t have Gilbard in her group, she realizes Philia has done a good job. She said yes, but she never thought she would be taken out of training.

“Gilbad Franchend. Executed for violating military law. Eliminated.”

As Dudley gives the report to the instructor in charge of the branch, the academy students are surprised by the word execution. The lecturer also opens his eyes wide at the word execution, and frowns after reading the report.

Although everyone’s eyes are on Philia, she reports to the instructor with a calm expression, and she comes to the seat where the 7th group is.

“W- The guillotine. What about Gilbard’s head?”

Philia smiles as Rai jokes while lying on her ground.

“I don’t need a rat’s neck.”

“……”

Whenever Rai made a joke that seemed to challenge her, Philia ignored her with a disgusted look on her face. Lai, who thought she would be the same this time, lost her words at her sunny expression.

After hearing her words, Sesset jumps up and asks her how she solved it, and she explains the situation as if it were someone else’s.

As Philia said, she violated the military law, but it is not easy to think of an extreme option to execute from the standpoint of her academy student. However, it created a dropout due to execution that would be unprecedented in the history of the academy.

“Kang is good.”

Rai nodded her head to see if he liked her, but Zeroa still thinks her execution is too much.

While the two groups were chatting, the instructor had a meeting with the staff and decided to proceed with the eighth group, which had become three. The instructor told the team members to change, and Rai was selected in Group 7 and Philia was selected in Group 8.

There was also Dudley’s opinion that he wanted to change Philia, who plays too many roles in the group, and check the other members of Team 8, and the instructor’s opinion was that he wanted to evaluate her actions by putting the captain who executed the academy motives in another group. .

“Huuuong- Laikang, you should be fine without me. I will miss you.”

“Can you tell me about my meat bag?”

“No. Meat is the common asset of the 7 trillion. I can’t give it to you. Leikang alone is leaving.”

“You have yours. Don’t covet it.”

Lai and Sesset quarrel once and break up. We’ll be in the same group again tomorrow anyway, so there was nothing to regret about breaking up now.

A new female student from Class D is added to Group 7. A girl named Tena sees Aria as soon as she comes to group 7 and sheds tears of emotion from her.

As Xenia said, the training goes by without incident, as if it’s really just marching with different members. At the next point, the three sets switched to a different group, and the new male academy student was thrilled to see Aria, just like Tena, and then she prayed to God.

Until now, George was lucky and continued to be with Aria, but Zeroa, who was worried that she would fall next time, let out a scream of joy inwardly when the male student left at the next point.

Conversely, the male academy student leaves Jo with her tears welling up.

The person who was exchanged with the male academy was Philia. She said that it would be better to change her recorders and evaluate whether the report of her execution had reached everyone.

“Please take care of me. Who’s leading here?”

Neither Tena, who had just joined, nor the male academy student who left in tears were not the type to lead her group. Zero or Arya, who handed over all command to her three-setter and followed her, did not lead her group, and the 7th group, without a captain, just continued marching as it flowed.

Thena sees Arya, Arya sees Zeroa, and Zeroa sees Philia.

Philia nodded her head at the silent explanation that she was not decided, and then everyone gave their opinions and asked to go. Tena, who was wary of hearing that she was an extreme person who even executed her, sees her as cooperative and curious.

During her short walk, Philia laughs brightly and chatters. She asks Thena if anything interesting happened in the group she belongs to, and she asks Zero-A if what Se-Set said is true.

In the 7th group, three members were left out and only the members who looked at Aria with happy eyes came in, and so far they have just walked without speaking.

Zeroa, who had grown accustomed to the noise of Rai and Sessett, felt pain in her silence. Even when he speaks up, he doesn’t talk much. After experiencing the atmosphere where only a few words are exchanged and silence remains, he shuts her mouth and is glad that Philia appeared and brightened the atmosphere.

“Did you really run all the way there with three sets on your back? That’s great. If it were me, it would have been difficult and I would have thrown three sets in the middle.”

“No. It was light.”

“It’s light. I’ve been gaining weight lately, so I whine every time I want to lose weight. At the same time, I eat dessert every day, that’s right. Have you ever tried Salteon’s orange cake?”

Philia, who communicates skillfully with Aria, who can’t talk for a long time because of her low number of words, is more talkative than Zeroa expected.

When she was clearly in the 8th group, she saw an unexpected side of her when she saw her as a reticent person who kept her mouth shut with a serious expression. Her lively three sets were familiar with her, so she thought maybe she was what she was now.

Whatever the reason, when Zeroa was satisfied with the harmonious atmosphere again, Philia stopped her conversation and put her hand on her longsword. She looks beyond the forest to her as well as Arya.

While only Zeroa and Tena are watching, Philia sees Brown, who is in charge of the 7th record.

“Can you hear me?”

“……Yes… Sounds like weapons colliding.”

“Were you scheduled for training?”

Brown shakes his head in silence.

Since many groups gather at a few points, no matter how many routes are organized, each group has a route that is close to each other. Therefore, the main point of this training was to focus only on adaptability rather than inserting anything into the training.

There is no situation in training where weapons have to collide. It was said that it was a big problem for Brown, who always bothered with half-closed eyes, to have a serious expression.

“Please take command.”

“Team 7 waits here.”

In spite of Philia’s opinion, Brown thinks of the safety of the academy students and leaves Team 7 on standby and runs alone in the direction of the sound.

The remaining 7 groups quietly look at each other’s faces.

“I’m going. What about you?”

Arya nodded at Philia’s words and drew her sword. Someone is fighting She might need help so she had to go straight to support.

It’s not that I don’t know the empty resonance or the subject. No matter how much they are academy students, they are those who have already built up their skills in family, dojang, or actual battles. They were no match for quite a few people, and among them were employees who had already gone through all the battles, and academy students who easily won.

In terms of simple fighting ability, Philia and Arya were equal to or better than Brown.

In a really dangerous situation, at least one hand would be needed, so the two went out to help even if it meant giving up training. Thena feels a bit hesitant, but when Arya displays her resolve, she draws her sword accordingly.

As soon as his gaze went to Zeroa, who was still, he also drew his sword and followed Philia.

Filia, who said she would go first, naturally led the 7th group, and she said while chasing the direction of the sound.

“How far are we from support? If it’s not right after seeing the situation, someone has to leave to ask for help. Is there anyone who is confident in their stamina or speed?”

When no one answered Philia’s question, she immediately looked at Thena and said.

“Tena, please.”

“… Yup, okay.”

She didn’t like putting herself in a dangerous situation, but Thena nodded her head thinking that her choice was the most correct. If she was simply thinking about safety, she was right to take out Zero, the weakest, but she was confident that Tena would move faster than Zeroa.

This kind of situation will end if you properly request support from the academy. I just don’t know what the situation is, so I just check it first and ask for support.

All of the academy employees were carrying flares. If you’re fighting and you didn’t fire a flare, it means you’re not in that situation or you’re fighting legally for some reason.

In Tena’s eyes, she hopes it’s the latter, but she sees her academy students and unknown people fighting.

“I’ll leave.”

As befits a family educated person, Thena rushes right behind her to call for her support.

As Thena retreats without her delay, her masked men in black chase after her, with some running towards her 7th group, but Philia’s bracelet is already stained blue.

“Push it away!”

Simultaneously with Philia’s cry, her sword wielded by her and her Aria explodes with a strong explosion, knocking back the approaching people in black.

The black people retreat and run through the gap, and the 7th group joins the academy students.

“Oh, Philia! It’s getting more and more difficult, but it’s good. Welcome back.”

Zeroa sees a blue-haired girl who speaks brightly even in an emergency. She is Diana Desh Bella, who is known to be a genius. She swung her sword and forced the three black men she was dealing with back, then leisurely lowered her sword.

“What’s the situation?”

“About 30 unidentified people. The purpose is to assassinate our princess. Their skills are… Medium to low? Not as good as I thought.”

Diana answered Philia’s question casually. Hearing that she is going to assassinate the princess, Zeroa’s blood drained and she looks at the princess behind her.

Maybe she was surprised, she is covered in dust, but as seen from her assembly point, Emilia, full of her grace, was holding the fainting Somneri in her arms and spreading her protective shield. There are only two academy students fighting outside the shield. It was only Diana and Abigail.

“Huh? Abigail?”

When Abigail, who was absent from her training, is in a place she never expected, Zeroa looks at her blankly. Her red hair and red eyes. And her bad-tempered expression is hard to confuse with anyone else.

Dressed like the assassins, Abigail frowned at her sternly as she met her eyes with Zeroa.

“Look at something. Focus on the front.”

Abigail slashes the one in front of her, and then falls back from another assassin’s attack.

It’s a dizzying situation, but unlike Zeroa, who wanders around like an idiot, Philia and Aria maintain their formation and block the approaching assassins.

“A signal flare?”

Brown, who went ahead, is nowhere to be seen, and neither is the staff at Emilia’s group. To Philia’s question, Diana responds by hurriedly teasing her arm.

“There’s a strange barrier. Originally, I proudly said that no sound escaped, but I guess I’ve broken through the barrier a little bit. You’ll hurt your pride.”

Fighting her assassin and breaking through her barrier, Diana smiles and brandishes her sword.

“Academy staff?”

“The staff are fighting against the captain over there. These guys aren’t great, but the captain is pretty strong, so let’s join…”

Diana’s words slow down as she continued her speech.

An assassin, presumed to be the captain, walks in from a distance, holding Brown’s head with a sword stuck in his stomach.

“I was going to say that it would be difficult to join, but it is confirmed that it will be difficult.”

Diana put her sword on her shoulder and clicked her tongue.

As Captain Uraros appears belatedly, the assassins step back and there is a lull. Says Urarath, who throws Brown, who can’t tell if he’s alive or dead, in front of him.

“Now there is no hope for you guys. If you hand over the six princesses, I’ll save her life.”

“Huh- Why is there no hope? I’m still worthy of a fight.”

Enemies are everywhere, but Diana smiles.

Ura Ross sees her daring and then turns her attention to her Emilia.

“Sixth Princess, are you going to risk unnecessary lives? For a worthless person like you?”

“Uselessness is not for you to judge. Neither am I. It’s not something you hear from someone whose business is killing people.”

Although Emilia seems calm, she refutes the captain’s words. Seeing her not trembling at all and maintaining her imposing posture, Uraros nodded her head, and the other assassins began to sneak up on her.

“Everyone, it’s show time. Let’s not die and have fun.”

“Crazy b*tch.”

At Diana’s words, Abigail swears and assumes her posture. Arya stands beside her and draws her thin sword down, Philia still in the same position, not letting her guard down.

They look different, but they know the formation well, and as they settle down, Diana gestures to Zeroa, who is far away.

“Zeroa-kun. You can come over here. Let’s dance with me.”

As Zeroa hesitantly approaches, Diana bumps lightly with her shoulder and gives her a wink.

Her life was on the line, but she didn’t look serious.

However, this is the first time that Zeroa is actually fighting a life-or-death fight with a person. Even when she is still with tension, her breathing becomes rough and her hands are damp with sweat.

He was uncomfortable with the longsword he borrowed from Sesset, so he kept opening and letting go of his hand.

Rai’s words, “Be ready to fight at any time,” Linger in my head. It’s terrifying to think that he would have come with a shortsword.

Zeroa’s heart beats thump thump at the assassins’ sharp murder.

‘Calm down.’

I scream at my heart that doesn’t listen to me, but my heart is still beating fast. The field of view narrows and the assassins in front of you do not enter properly.

Zeroa, whose head is empty, prays that everyone will be safe and swings his sword.
