TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 12
On
the outskirts of Arcazam City. In the forest not far from the city. Usually,
there were only demon beasts and animals inside, but today hundreds of humans
had gathered.
They
were students belonging to the 3rd year of Solminati Academy and their school's
teachers.
Today
was the first day of their Special Integrated Training Class. In the forest,
which was usually surrounded by silence, an administrative headquarters had
been set up, and the din of hundreds of humans could be heard. Once a year, this
forest is free from silence only during this period of time.
Perhaps
because the training that was about to be held would directly affect the
students' grades, all the expressions of the gathered students were tense and
stiff. But at the same time, this training is also a great opportunity for the
students. Therefore, their facial expressions not only exuded a sense of
tension but also showed some expectations.
"Fufufu.
This looks interesting..."
"...You
must be looking forward to this, Mars"
Mars,
who was near Nozomu, had a fearless smile on his face. There was no tension in
his expression and he seemed to be very much looking forward to this event. He
wanted to be strong, and he had probably been waiting for this kind of event
where he could test his strength.
"We~
will yes. This is a good opportunity for me. And..."
Mars
stared at Nozomu and clasping his fists unconsciously. His gaze seemed to be
trying to identify something. There was no trace of the frivolous atmosphere he
had shown earlier.
"...?
What's wrong Mars?"
"...
No, it's nothing"
Nozomu
made a suspicious expression at the suddenly changed atmosphere of Mars. But
Mars didn't talk about his hidden feelings, he just kept his mouth shut.
Nozomu
tilted his head. Mars was originally a strong person and had high pride, but
Nozomu felt that Mars' behavior recently was a little strange. He seemed to
ponder about something and became more and more engrossed in something.
"Hey
Mars, lately you seem to ..."
"Oh,
there he is! O~i, Nozomu!!"
When
Nozomu tried to talk to Mars, he was suddenly called from the side.
Nozomu
and Mars turned their eyes towards the source of the voice, they could see Feo
waving and coming towards them. Next to him were Shīna, Mimuru, and Tom, who
came over with smiling expressions upon seeing Nozomu.
"Yo!
Good morning, you two."
"Yea"
"Good
morning, Feo. I see, Shīna and her friends were with you."
Nozomu
greeted Feo and turned his eyes to Shīna and her friends, and they nodded
lightly.
"Yeah.
Somehow, it looks like we're going to have a party together. Feo is a versatile
type, so I think he can move flexibly according to the situation. That's why I
decided to have a discussion with him and get him to team up with us for the
first day."
Shīna
smiled while saying so. The cool maiden's smile looked very attractive, but for
some reason, a chill ran down Nozomu's spine. Was it due to the fact that sweat
seemed to be pouring from the foreheads of the three people next to her?
