Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 89

As the proceedings began in earnest, the person who began the speech was Wade Palmahon, who appeared during the Gwillo incident..

It was only when I saw Gidley and other professors related to actual warfare standing in line behind him that I could truly understand what being in charge of the Combat Department meant..

"My name is Wade Palmahon, head professor of the Department of Combat, and I am responsible for managing and responsible for academy classes related to actual combat. It is a great honor to provide an opportunity like this for the envoys of our friendly countries.."

Wade, who began his fairly formal and ceremonial speech, spoke of precautions, including group formation..

When you enter the dungeon entrance, you will be instantly transported to a random location in groups..

There is no intervention of any kind of illusion magic, so if you think it is dangerous, use the return scroll provided right away..

Always keep the return scroll on your waist. This is to aim to force the opponent's return by tearing their scroll in case of a fight between participants, so if you violate this, you must bear the disadvantages yourself..

Although it is said to show the hero's achievements, we have no intention of holding an event just for show, so we promise to give appropriate compensation to those who beat the hero and win..

Finally, after the group formation began with the professors moving in accordance with Wade's instructions, which explained at great length that the group that first gets the mark in the center of the horizontal dungeon wins, the awkwardness of the opening ceremony was finally over and it was time to look around. I have some free time.

"Howdy! Kingdom Knight! Long time no see!"

And in the meantime, I was able to discover Ethenera, who had been unable to control her affection from the first day..

"It's only been five days, but it doesn't feel like it's been a month.?"

"That's right. It's really surprising that the classes don't overlap.."

"ha ha ha. You and the Margrave are observing all classes at the academy. Of course, even if that were the case, it was incredibly out of sync.."

We might have bumped into each other once on the road, but since we came to the empire, we haven't been able to because we've been busy with other problems every day. I like this friend a lot because of his liveliness, but I feel disappointed in many ways..

"Looks like you're participating in the field trip.?"

"Even after seeing this, he is very capable. If you meet me in a dungeon, be prepared.."

The way he joked was full of pleasant playfulness, so I smiled lightly and accepted it..

Considering that the people who appear to be in the same group as him are all people who showed outstanding skills during Zidley's class, and the sparring between me and Zeke made the later classes go away, it is not difficult to see that Ethenera's skills are no match for them. could guess.

Since we couldn't talk for a long time, we parted ways and looked at the others, but the other Academy party members were people I had never met, and the party made up of envoys were all people who did not have a nice impression..

Even though one of them was a woman, she had bloodier eyes than most men, and it seemed like the delegation party had already gathered around her and started a strategy meeting..

In the end, when our group gathered together and had a brief self-introduction session without finding anyone who was acting particularly suspicious, I was frustrated in a different way from the morning, feeling like my eyes were going dark..

"Hello, warrior Siegfried! Your majesty extends to our mountain kingdom, Maldgen...."

"I can feel the grace of the goddess shining like a halo! I am from the Kingdom of Peneshmilla...."

"Glory to the great empire and its warriors! I am..."

The three party members began to go into treacherous betrayal mode, flattering the hero without saying who would go first..

These are not empty words; just looking at their appearance, it was not difficult to see that the reason why these people who did not seem to have any connection with battle and did not even look like wizards were here was because they saw it as a golden opportunity to face the hero in person..

Zeke would have kept talking if he hadn't been laughing while watching them talk so rudely and rudely that they were pushing each other..

"LOL. I guess these bastards haven't heard about me yet."

To be honest, if it were any other situation, I would have stopped him, but as I ended up carrying three bombs, I was dumbfounded and had no choice but to stay still..

The three guys, who couldn't have known that fact, naturally looked dumbfounded and couldn't react properly..

"Yes, yes? what now..."

"Shut up and follow me around before I start throwing sticks at everyone here. This position is for me to see my achievements through your own eyes and then go to the Kingdom of Neg to report, not for me to wag my tail while avoiding the imperial family.."

"Haha, warrior. That's not what we want to say..."

Of the three, the skinny one with the curly hair pushed the absent-minded one away with a skillful smile and tried to wipe his mouth, but Zeke waved his hand and cut him off..

"Shit. There is no need for words when exploring a dungeon. The guy who was waving his hand right now doesn't seem to have a single callus on his palm. You're a wizard.?"

"yes?"

"Judging by the sharpness of your answer, it’s not true, is it? Those two over there?"

The two who pointed with their chins also hesitated as if they had something to assert, but the last one, who hesitated less, suddenly looked up and raised his voice..

"Aren't you being too rude?! We attend this event as envoys from each country...."

"Oh, if it's an envoy, you can just look around. Why are you bothering people by saying you're involved in practice?!!"

The three guys retreated as Zeke shouted in a manner that could easily be described as a sudden attack. In my opinion, it was a reasonable and reasonable cry..

Even considering that it was a gathering of people from influential countries, it was a pretty good choice..

It's one thing to know how to fight and participate in training, but it's another thing to express your intention to participate even though you don't know how to fight. Rather, it is an issue that is connected to the prestige of the country because there are many eyes watching..

It goes without saying that they must have even participated while making false claims that it was entirely possible. Since it is an event to see the hero's performance anyway, the hero will take care of everything without them having to step forward, and they have even made the calculation that their own skills are not important..

Normally, I would have been the type of person who would share in the double lust, but absurdly, now I feel like a nobleman..

They have faith that at least a hero would do that much, right? One guy even mentioned a goddess, so at least he wasn't one of those guys who denied and doubted the existence of the hero, so he was a lesser evil rather than the worst..

I wonder if this really makes sense, but it's reality..

"I'm telling you in advance, don't believe that I'm going to clean up all the poop you made and move on. It's not for nothing that the Academy gave each of you expensive escape return forms. Unable to fight. Or, if danger is anticipated, tear it apart mercilessly. I'm not responsible even if you fall."

"Aren't you a warrior? How could you make such an irresponsible statement??"

When a guy with a particularly big nose who said he came from the Mountain Kingdom shouted with an expression of resentment, Zeke calmly answered with his arms crossed..

"What kind of warrior can cut down the threat to the entire kingdom with a single slash of his sword? Even if you try your best, there will always be people somewhere in the world who you can't find. I have no intention of getting caught up in it and killing hundreds of people along with it.."

"Is that what a hero who must save those who are currently suffering from demons would say? Aren't you embarrassed??!"

"Wow. Be careful what you say, right? There is a member of the Margrave's entourage here from Itisel, where the truly suffering people live.?"

When Zeke gestured towards me, who was just staying silent, hoping that this skit would end quickly, the three guys' expressions began to subtly change. It was even more absurd because it looked like he didn't know it was real..

"Before complaining about those who are suffering, why don't you tell this friend what your country did for ETSL? Or did another country enter the front line with the demons without my knowledge??"

"...I will definitely protest this matter formally.."

"Damn it. Even Siegfried will remember this, you bastards. I am a warrior, are you the warrior??"

Zeke turned to me, shaking his head as if there was nothing more to talk about..

"Eldmia. You said you worked as an adventurer for a while, right? What were you mainly responsible for??"

The reason I don’t call him ‘younger brother’ like I usually do is probably because he cares about those around him. The attitude was also more businesslike than usual..

"Skirmishing and combat. That's all that can help today.."

"that's enough. Looking at those, it's obvious that they won't be of any help. Let's go through some trouble together.."

I wanted to say, "The warrior should do all the hard work," but I decided to keep the rhythm in line and nodded..

It's really enjoyable from the start. The delegation doesn't seem to be easy, but they have to deal with the cadets as well, and they only have three pieces of luggage..

It's a balance that can almost be said to be malicious... but I'm increasingly curious about what the Empire and Esmu are aiming for..
