Meanwhile, at the location where the battle with the knights had taken place. “Everyone surrender! Urek, the academy’s guardian, has arrived!” “P-please surrender. I’m begging you!” Shortly after Squirrel Mask left, reinforcements arrived one after another. As their numbers exceeded several dozen, the knights had no choice but to declare their surrender. “Get tied up…

Orobas’s demon magic, [Wandering Storm]. Being a passive skill, I could copy it anytime using [Divine Imitation]. “Th-this is impossible… this can’t be happening!” Orobas’s single eye widened as if about to tear. Partly because I’d used his demon magic [Wandering Storm], but also… ‘My range is wider.’ Currently, Orobas’s demon magic was C-rank. In…

“Hmm…?” Clarity returned to Rodelin’s eyes, which had lost all reason. Alex embracing her defenseless self to protect her. My figure deflecting the thorn shot by the demon, and Lowell collapsed and gasping for breath. Having grasped the situation, Rodelin’s eyes blazed with fire. “I’ll handle the demon! You two protect my sister!” Rodelin tossed…

Meanwhile, at the battlefield where Lowell and Orobas clashed. “Tsk!” Lowell clicked her tongue as she created distance between them. Seeing this, Orobas cackled. “What’s wrong? To think you won’t kill a demon right before your eyes.” “…” “The honor of your noble family will crash to the ground. Kuhuhuhuhuh!” Even at the demon’s mockery,…

“What do you…?” “Isn’t it simple? I’m telling you to choose one of the two.” Lowell fighting below. Comrades fighting here. Rodelin understood that she had to choose between them. What Rodelin was questioning was something else. “If you continue helping as you are now, I believe this place would be fine without me.” “And…

“Th-The Dark Beast Squad!?” The kids fell into confusion. Since the Dark Beast Squad’s appearance, there had been countless speculations about them. An unidentified group, the Empire’s test subjects, senile old men, perverts (?)—all kinds of theories. Speculation and rumors where no one could tell right from wrong. But there was one thing everyone agreed…

Ash’s declaration that they would fight here. One instructor immediately questioned it. “Couldn’t we retreat one or two more times?” “Unfortunately, that’s impossible.” Ash spread out the map and pointed to a section with her finger. “There are three forks ahead. It’d be great if they followed us down our retreat path, but what if…

Thud, thud. The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the mine. As we passed each fork in the road, our numbers gradually increased until we’d formed quite a group. By now, we had enough people that it was difficult to hide our presence. But that wasn’t the real problem. Tap. Our walking pace gradually quickened. Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap—!…

Urek fell into deep thought. Annwood Academy Instructor. Among those who received excellent grades at the Academy, only volunteers are accepted and selected, then trained alongside special admission students who entered through different routes. After two years of hellish training, only the top 20% are appointed as instructors. But that’s not the end of it….

The journey down was smooth. Not only did we have a detailed map made by the Empire’s Rat himself, but we also didn’t need to worry about ambushes. All the enemies were gathered in Mine 32. Even if they noticed something and pushed up, we’d meet them head-on at worst—there was no chance of running…
