TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 17
Jihad's
POV
As
the sun rising from the east reached the centerline, I, Jihad Roundel, observed
the training area in the lookout tower set up at the administrative
headquarters.
"There
is no problem so far ..."
I
looked around while muttering. Since the training area is covered by forest, I
can't see the situation directly from the lookout tower, but I can't feel any
disturbing atmosphere from the training area. At least so far there doesn't
seem to be any abnormality.
I
turned my eyes to somewhere under the lookout tower, I first noticed the tent
where the operations headquarters was located. The teachers who took care of
this training were busy going in and out of the tent.
In
addition, there were several students who were already disqualified from training
in front of the administrative headquarters, and some of them were injured.
Students
with minor injuries only received medicine, and those with scratches were
treated by Norn-sensei, a doctor in charge, in a tent built next to the
administrative headquarters.
Despite
some injuries, there were no reports of deaths and no reports of anyone
trespassing into the training area.
For
now, I let out a sigh of relief after confirming the training that proceeded
without any major problems.
At
that moment, I realized that I was not my usual self and was nervous. It was
laughable that my mouth naturally loosened.
Maybe
I was nervous because there were various things that happened recently, such as
the massacre of the Cyclopes and the black demon beasts.
(But
certainly, I can't neglect my vigilance ...)
The
matter of the black demon beast was gradually resolved. The defeated black
demon beast has been found, and its corpse has been recovered and is currently
under investigation. So far, there have been no reports of any other black
demon beasts, and it is almost certain that it was alone. In addition, there is
no particular change in the movement of the demon beasts in the forest.
On
the other hand, about the case of Cyclopes. There's no progress on it so far.
It
was known that it was defeated by a human or something similar to it. However,
even though the captain of the guards, Mauzu, and the knights of the Silver
Rainbow Knight Order were pursuing its whereabouts, the person who did it had
yet to be identified.
It
was night when we found the corpses of the giants, and we couldn't bring back
all the corpses because there were only a few manpower. All that was brought
back were the pieces of arms and chunks of meat that had been cut off, and no
clues were found.
Judging
from the severed parts such as the severed arm, it turned out that all the
wounds were made with the same weapon, and from that, the one who slaughtered
the giants was probably alone.
Since
the giant was heavily injured with almost a single blow, that person's rank was
at least rank S. Being able to fight those giants by himself. There might be
someone so powerful hiding in this Arcazam.
