133 – Chapter 42. Last Semester – 1

– 134 –

The second day of the meeting in Kariya.

After receiving a sumptuous meal in the morning, and entering the conference room pounding on the stomach, I saw a familiar face.

“Fire. You said you died once?”

In the morning, he responded with a smirk towards Bartiers, a naughty guy who laughed and made an unlucky sound.

“Noisy. You almost disappeared from existence.”

I found out last time I went to the spirit world and talked to God, and if I hadn’t met Bartiers the last time, it would have ceased to exist in a short time.

This is because the attack received during the Shinma War was a space-type magic, but the explanation was too complicated to understand in detail.

“When did you tell the story of the enemy… …. Well, I haven’t forgotten the grace that saved me.”

Bar Tiers mumbled something and lowered his head slightly.

This guy, except for me and Arumanan, I wouldn’t know anyone here, but it would be hard to be alone.

Reluctantly, he sat down next to Bartiers.

Chermia and Shane, who were following me, looked at Bartiers with surprise and whispered in their ears.

“Hey there. Are you Admiral Bartiers?”

“Yes, warriors. I am Bartiers, a humanoid spirit of water and earth. I don’t have a specific position now, but I used to lead the Alliance’s fleet.”

Arumanan and Bartiers also treat the warrior with respect.

Then, should the status of a hero be roughly equivalent to ours?

“Nice to meet you. This is Shane Grafol, who was selected as a hero.”

“This is Cermia Seine.”

Shane and Chermia shook hands with Bartiers and sat down next to me.

“By the way, Admiral. Are you familiar with Erif?”

“Erif? Oh, you’re talking about this little boy over here.”

In response to Zermia’s question, Bar Tiers tilted his head slightly and pointed at me as if he had just remembered it.

But what? Kid?

“What is it, man?”

“What. Why. You’re a kid.”

As we were growling face to face with Bartiers, Chermia and Shane looked at this side in amazement.

I was embarrassed by that gaze and coughed in vain.

“It’s rare for Erif to get angry like that.”

“That’s right. Never been mad at us. When I hear about the 1st and 2nd graders, they say they are arrogant and cool even when they get angry.”

“Dodo? Cold?”

I heard Bartiers’ snoring, and I was furious without knowing it, but I endured it with dignity and coolness.

The warriors and Bartiers got along quite well, so they sat between me and chatted until the meeting started.

The topic of conversation was mostly me, Misfire-Erif, who had only one common interest between them.

Friends who hear the story of the past fabricated by Bartiers with their eyes shining.

Bartiers listens to my school life with a confused expression.

I was shuddering at their indifference in talking casually with the parties in between, and Arumanan and Ireana, the moderators of the meeting, came in.

Finally, the meeting will begin.

Aruma Nan swung her eyes through the translucent veil as he looked at my weary expression and put on a questionable expression.

Arumanan, who smiled lightly as if he had guessed the situation by looking at the people sitting around me, spoke with Ireana for a while and then announced the start of the meeting.

The meeting to interpret the oracle and plan a rough strategy is over.

I may act like Arumanan as before, but I was mainly going to be with the heroes.

It is said that the helicopter unit we are in charge of will have a completely different composition than before.

Research on the ‘Gold Dragon’ helicopter that Chermia and Shane received is already underway, and a heavy and robust mass-produced helicopter is expected to appear in the near future.

The plan of the coalition leadership was to not only block or dodge the attacks of fighters once or twice, but also to raise the counter through excellent range and reliable defense to the point where it is possible to actively seize air supremacy through helicopters.

In situations where you have to attack beyond the continent, the number of troops you can mobilize is limited.

So, I understand the intention of using a weapon that is a minor copy of the weapon of a warrior who can be said to be the most powerful.

“I think it’s too ideal.”

Even if the current enemy’s air power is about half that of a hero’s helicopter, it will be a ridiculous opponent.

However, the enemies will not stay at their current full power for long.

There has been a revelation that something powerful and unknown is about to appear, so we need to prepare for it.

Of course, I am in favor of acting with Chermiana Shane.

If you leave it close, I’ll have to step in and protect it.

The conference was successfully completed for two days.

There were quite a lot of conversations, and I was able to draw a detailed plan for the alliance to fight against the demons.

After one more day off, after lunch, the meeting participants gathered at the main gate of Kiriya’s palace to take a picture.

I stood behind Ireana with Cermia and her arms crossed, leaning on Aruma Nan.

Behind Ireana, who was sitting in the center of her front row, my face was engraved in the center of her photo.

It was the last summer of my school days.

Summer vacation is over, and the last semester at the military academy has begun.

The classes I have to take are at a level that doesn’t exist at all, except for the ones I take in common in the pilot class.

I was bored, so I decided to share a timetable with Chermia and Shane to learn some proper culture.

The 1st and 2nd grade class teaching assistants were sloppy, so the opportunity passed to other classmates who lacked scores.

They were foolish middle-aged students who could not consistently accumulate extra points while taking their time, assuming they had attended school for four years.

They thanked me one after another and submitted the application for teaching assistant to the office.

ttt. How annoying is that

Inwardly, I went to the classroom, begging my comrades not to leave a vase.

“This class is a time to seriously think about your career path. Have you all decided what to do after graduation?”

“Yes!”

Some children vigorously answered the teacher’s question.

But most of them kept their mouths shut and were in trouble.

Career classes originally opened in the second semester of the fourth year, and in the second semester of the third year from last year.

As a military academy, most of them would be commissioned as officers of Selmeier, but there were not only one or two paths.

Right now, in our pilot class, there are several career paths, including some as a tank commander, and some as a helicopter pilot, a fighter pilot, and even a mechanic.

It is possible to apply to a place that is completely different from your major. It’s going to be uncertain though.

Me, Chermia, and Shane had no worries about their future career paths.

I was already on a set path, and all I had to do was run with all my might.

“Everyone knows that the world situation is unstable these days. In this case, the role of the students is more important. From now on, we have to lead the Kingdom Army and protect our country.”

The students nodded heavily.

There were already students who participated in civil wars in other countries from the end of last year to the beginning of this year.

It must have been dispatched only in fairly safe conditions, but the battlefield was always dangerous.

There were still friends who couldn’t get rid of the trauma completely.

Besides, this time, you may have to protect your own family and not another country.

The sense of responsibility and burden weighs on the shoulders of young students.

“There is no need to be too burdened. No matter how things turn out in the future, the adults will take care of it so that you don’t have to go out on your own.”

The teacher makes unconvincing remarks towards children who have already gone to war once.

These days, the military is teaching pilots how to fly helicopters, and the military is also operating a separate helicopter unit.

The children nodded reluctantly and watched a career video for pilot class graduates.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s the last semester.”

“That’s just you. How many kids have a hard time keeping up with class? It is also a job to fill in graduation marks.”

I found a simulation classroom during play time, and there was Klaring, who relieved stress through simulation.

She always greeted her happily to tease her me and her quarreling her, but she began to rant her grumblings as if she had waited.

It seems a bit strange to talk about her unlikely, such as saying that it would be nice to receive a lot of extra points from her, envy that her career has already been decided, etc.

“Are you having a hard time right now?”

Was a problem to ask.

“… So, what do you think?”

“What.”

“Did you not hear me?”

Clarisse took her eyes off the simulation screen, raised her eyebrows, and looked at me.

I wondered if this guy had something wrong with the career counseling that started suddenly, but if she was in a hurry, she would want to hold on to anyone and complain.

I’m an adult, so I’ll have to accept the counseling requests of teenagers.

“It is up to you to decide. Even if you ask me, I can’t give you a reckless answer.”

Clarisse let out her long sigh.

She is now at the crossroads of the important choices of her life.

“I don’t know if you know, but I am the daughter of a marquise. She was the second of three daughters to pray, and her older sister or younger sister was so good that she didn’t get much attention, but she was still proudly coming to the point of earning her pilot class diploma at the military academy.”

“Yes.”

I’ve already heard a lot, but to organize my thoughts, I think it would be better to talk about it with your own mouth.

“But I don’t know if there will be a war, so why don’t you leave school and come back and get married? Can you accept it?”

“Well. No.”

There was no way for me to get married unless the duke, who knew who I really was, was out of his mind, but I felt like I had to fight back.

Clarice raised her fever at my words and vomited out feverish words.

“Clearly, my father hates me. He’d think like me, he’d die as soon as he went to war.”

Claris did not participate in the Aetian Civil War.

His control skills were sufficient, but maybe it was because his parents were so powerful and meticulous as they are now.

Now that the war is about to become visible, I think he is going to have him drop out of school altogether.

If that’s the case, I shouldn’t have sent him to the military academy at all.

Claris was looking at me with eager eyes.

After she had been hostile for a long time, she looked into her eyes and cleared her throat.

“Do what you want to do.”

It was difficult to hold hands and drag them, but I was able to push my back slightly.

Clariss’ eyes sparkled upon hearing my words.

She turned off her sim and came out, put her on my shoulder and nodded her head.

“Okay. I will do what I want to do.”

I think she said a small ‘thank you’, but it was so small that I couldn’t hear it.

The next day, rumors spread that Clarisse had applied for the newly formed Hero’s Helicopter Unit.

She was famous for recruiting troops from the beginning of the war to the end of the war, who would continue to carry out dangerous missions to follow the hero unless she died or was seriously injured.

Her classmates were shaken by the news that her friend, who had been talking about dropping out of school in her family, had volunteered for the war.

A sense of exaltation and duty spread like wildfire among the pilot class 3rd graders at the Military Academy.

In the end, it is said that Kirst, who received more than ten applications for the newly established helicopter unit that evening alone, was quite embarrassed.
