TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 19
In
the afternoon, as the first day of special training approached the second half
of the day, Feo and the others had finished the escort task and were in the
process of completing the task at the reception desk of the administrative
headquarters.
"Yu~p.
With this, our task is done. So, what are we going to do now?"
"Yeah... I've seen the remaining tasks,
but there aren't many left. For the time being, shouldn't we just intercept the
party we met while doing the remaining tasks?"
"Eeh~! That's annoying. Why don't we
attack a party like Irisdina who seems to have a lot of points? We can gain points and reduce our opponent at
the same time. That's killing two birds with one stone."
Shina
gave a safe answer to Feo's question. However, Mimuru raised a dissatisfied
voice with her proposal.
Until
now, they had not moved from the southern part of the training area to make
full use of Shina's spirit magic. Her spirit magic, which specialized in base
defense, fully demonstrated its abilities, and combined with Feo's
swordsmanship and Tom's alchemy, they were strong enough to be called a
fortress in the southern region. They were able to build a good base.
Perhaps
because of that, most of the parties they encountered so far would only be
defeated by Shina, Feo, and Tom's ranged attacks. Shina's accurate bow shooting
and spirit magic, Feo's talisman technique that could monitor the situation
from a distance, and Tom's magic that had increased its power by using a
catalyst. Due to this abundant surveillance and ranged attack technique, most
enemy parties were slaughtered without being able to get close to them.
As
a result, Mimuru, who emphasized close combat, had accumulated frustration.
"...Mimuru,
I know we managed to defeat the instructor who was the special target, but
that's no reason for us to be negligent, right?"
"I
know Shina. But you worry too much~."
Shina
held her temple with her index finger. Maybe she had a headache with Mimuru's
usual behavior. Tom, while seeing such a usual scene in front of him, make a
bitter smile, then he spoke to Shina.
"Now
now. However, I think Mimuru has a point. From now on, the only way to earn
points is to fight the other parties..."
“That's true, but……”
Certainly,
as Tom said, attacking was more efficient than defending to earn points from
now on.
"More
importantly, where do you think Nozomu is~? I didn't see him on the southern
part of this training area..."
Feo
still maintained his own pace even in front of the three of them. Shina felt
her headache getting worse.
"Hey,
why don't we go to the northern part this time? We haven't gone there
yet."
"That's
right! Let's go!"
Mimuru
and Feo had started to harmonize completely. It seemed that the pace of the two
2nd-class troublemakers who don't listen to people will not change even in this
special training.
