- Attention all! - shouted Mr. Gaido - This is Mr. Orochi, he is the most famous adventurer in this area.- It's a tall and muscular man no less than Gaido-sensei, Mr. Orochi has a square-shaped face filled with a beard, casual clothes, but notably two thick metal bracelets on the wrists and a leather belt with dozens of big and small knives.
-Hahaha! You are too talkative. Right! I am Orochi, nice to meet you. But your teacher even forgot one more detail .....- Mr. Orochi plays Gaido -... he is a close friend.
-One stop! And when have I been your best friends?
-Haha! You're still as single as ever. Now then ... - Mr. Orochi whispered into Mr. Gaidi's ear - what his name was, I forgot.
-Kazuto! Come on up. - Mr. Gaido called me
-Yes!
-I want to tell you first that this trip has 2 purposes. Firstly, it is to test your strength in real battle and also overcome your weaknesses. Second, I will teach you one very important new magic, that is, the summoning of weapons.
- Summon ... weapons? - there are some people whispering
-I guess someone knows and doesn't know this magic. Now then, Kazuto, show the others to you.
-....Yes.
I closed my eyes, relaxed my body, concentrating on the feeling of magic flowing through my body. And then, once again that fire exploded around my legs, then wrapped my arms and turned into a sword.
-As you can see, it's very simple, isn't it?
- How simple is this? - Someone starts to get depressed
-You guys have seen the samples, let's start our business now. If someone does not do it at sunset, he will be punished
-Huh!!
After hearing that, our class was divided into 2 groups. A group of anxious people has a fever because they are afraid they will not be able to do it, and a group of "calm people" is confident that they will do it.
"Hey Kazuto, when did you do that?" Kaito came over and asked me, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
-I summoned this sword the first day we met.
-He? Wait that sword was made by you then?
-Yes! At that time, I did not understand why I could do it.
While we were busy talking, Rin approached.
-I hate to say it but ..... Kazuto, teach me how to summon weapons.
Others who heard that also began to gather around me. In the end, I reluctantly became the "teacher" of the whole class. And then sunset came, everyone was able to use the summoning weapon. After that, everyone went back to the inn and rested. That night, because Kaito was snoring loudly, I could not sleep, so I decided to go down to the living room to lie down on the chair when I noticed a bit of light streaming through the living room door. I looked in to see if anyone else could see Mr. Gaido and Mr. Orochi talking.
-It's been a while since we've been sitting talking like this, Gaido.
-Yes!
-You still haven't changed anything, even as a teacher, so what did you tell me to sit here?
-You feel right? That dragon head flame.
-Yes! To think it came from such a kid.
-The last time, I couldn't see it because of the distance, but this time ...
-Do you have a plan for that boy?
-Not yet. But we still have to prioritize hiding this, even with that kid. If it fell into the hands of the black magicians, it would probably be the end of all of us.
-Yes! But why did you tell me this? You usually keep it a secret from everyone.
-In this forest, nothing is certain, I need more manpower than myself to watch over the boy.
-Really. Does anyone else know about this?
-Is not. You are the first one.
-The first time you told me a big secret like this first. By the way ... Kazuto? Do we really have no other way than to keep this boy a secret?
"They mentioned me!" - I was surprised when the person Gaido Sensei and Mr. Orochi mentioned was me
-It does not know the better. Because if that kid knows, he doesn't know what will happen next.
-Really. That's the best way, so see you later.
-Yes!
"Mr. Orochi is coming out soon. I have to ..."
I accidentally dropped my room key. Upon hearing that sound, Orochi-sensei stopped. Gaido-sensei signaled silence and then .... {Ram} - as fast as lightning Gaido-sensei rushed to the door and slammed it open. He looked at the two sides of the corridor to see if anyone was there. And I was lucky enough to run outside the porch through the open door. I tried to hold my breath to not be detected.
-Who is it, Gaido?
-Nobody else. Probably just a bird.
-Really. Do you think one of your students overheard our conversation?
-If that's the case, we will have to investigate who it is.
I waited until both Mr. Gaido and Mr. Orochi were gone and went back to my room. The incident tonight made me sleepless. Until the next morning until I gathered, I was still sleepy.
-What's wrong, Kazuto? Kaito looked like a corpse. Kaito asked me
-You're snoring so loud.
-He! Me ..... ah?
-Yes!
-So ... is that so. Sorry.
-All shut up. Now we will disseminate the exercise 3 days in a row.
-Huh!! 3 days!?
- I said it was silent! - Teacher Gaido shouted- Ahem! This exercise will be organized in a manner that robs the flag.
-Stand the flag? - asked the class, bewildered
-Yes, our class will be divided into 2 equal groups and set up camp in 2 locations far apart in the forest. Group 1 will be at the foot of Mount Letovia, group 2 will be near the banks of the River Thadeus. Each team will place a flag in the middle of the camp, and the other team will have to take it and bring it back to their camp, whoever wins will allow us to attend the fireworks festival the other day, and the losing team will have to help you Orochi brought goods from Mr. Orochi's house to the inn.
-That's so unfair, teacher.
-Then try to win.
Furthermore, Mr. Orochi and I will watch you out if they break the law by going to your camp, but won't interfere unless necessary. And you will only be allowed to use elementary spells, as well as only weapons from summoning magic, and I will give each group a map of the entire forest, those who intentionally destroy the forest know how to ta. Is that clear !?
-Yes!
After that, we were grouped by Gaido Sensei, because there were 21 people in our class, so there were only 10 people in group 2 and 11 people in group 1
-Now we will announce the list of members of the 2 groups. Group 1 includes Haruma, Fuki, Shintaro, Maryu, Okiha, Yoshiro, Takashi, Wataru, Habuto, Fukumi, Hakiru. Group 2 includes Kazuto, Yumi, Rin, Kaito, Mika, Sinki, Rei, Aiko, Hidai, Mio. Now go to your own camp, remember to bring your pantry if you don't want to starve to death. By sunset this afternoon, we will start the fight, you guys can do it well.
We then headed to the designated location and set up a camp there. Our "follower" is Mr. Orochi, he seems to be more cheerful and more harmonious than his appearance, the stories of his adventures that he tells us make us seem to be Roll in and forget about this "battle".
-It's about to sunset. You guys should get ready - it is not when Mr. Orochi reminds us that we will return to what we have to do.
When I looked back, I have seen when Rin has placed the map on a big stone. It seems that he's the only one focusing on this battle. As we huddled around the rock, he started to talk about his own plan, each of us understood his personality and knew he was the smartest person so he listened silently.
-Because we have 3 days to win, there's no need to rush to attack. So first we have to spy on the "base" of the enemy first. So we need to send 3 people both to spy, and to protect each other if detected or attacked. I left this to Kaito, Sinki and Kazuto. Can you do it?
"Just leave it to us," Kaito said
-OK. So we'll just stay here defending while we wait for news from the three of you.
-Understood. - I said and then the 3 of us started to go to the camp position of group 1. The distance was quite far so it was only at dusk that we were two thirds of the way.
-The truth is. Hey, Kazuto, why don't we use magic to go faster? - Kaito lamented
-Can not! If so, group 1 can spot us. We must keep as quiet as possible when spying.
"Um ... can we stop now?" Sinki said, "I'm starting to get tired, and again ..... Ahhh!"
Suddenly, Sinki was bound by a rope and hung him up, when we were still surprised to understand what happened, from the nearby tree, three people from group 1 jumped out.
-Got cha'!
