A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

The next morning, I woke up as usual.

"Uhh... uhhhh..."

Twilight still dominates the world. When I see it, I try to get ready to go to the academy as usual...

"Really... I'm already..."

That's right. Life begins today as a soldier. I, Sherry, Sofia, and Ella have decided to be assigned to the Twilight Mobile Force. The Twilight Mobile Force is a pretty harsh force that fights primarily in the dusk.

And suddenly, Ella and I suddenly belonged to the Seventh Special Detachment. Fighting at dusk basically works in Squads. I hardly act on the scale of a platoon to a battalion. That's because dusk fights are so harsh that a lot of people can't lead. A few elite, that's the basics of dusk. Sometimes, even a small squad has commanders. In the past, the Underboss said he had a larger army, but he rarely did so in modern warfare. Because there are few large-scale operations.

And basically, this kind of role (dusk fighting) used to be played by Corporals, but now they can't survive dusk... especially in dangerous areas. For this reason, they basically belong to the gendarmerie and are basically defending the city and fighting in the security zone.

That's why you can't fight dangerous zones until you reach the Lieutenant and Left Officer levels. It seems impossible to think about in the past, but ironically, the higher the rank, the more dusk fights... It has almost disappeared that I only give instructions from behind.

Of course, this is not the case in other units (Intelligence, Command, Technology Development, Research, etc.), but it is particularly evident in the Dusk mobile units.

By the way, Ella and I start our rank in the military with the Major. This is a special measure because you are a Premium vs. Mage.

It is also easy to be mistaken by ordinary people, but the Premium vs. Mage proves that they are extremely effective, and they are not ranked at the top of the army. The veterans are considerably above the ranks of the military, but I and Senpai Eira are still new to the military, so they are worth a major. The Demons cannot be confronted simply because they have high combat power. With the support of a variety of people, we can make the most of it.

And... this is where we begin to fight the Demons in a real sense. I need to remember that I'm not a student anymore...

"Ah... speaking of which..."

Before that, I decided to talk to Senpai Eira about something early in the morning. When I get ready quickly, I'll join you.

"So, who do you think Julia is?

"Hmm. I wonder... what do you think of senpai?

Of course, the story is about the "traitor." Even now, traitors may be leaping forward. Normally we do our job, but we can't ignore this. It seems that the imperial city of the first boundary, which is the essence of mankind… The imperial castle, which functions to maintain the boundary among them, has become particularly heavily guarded, but still cannot be reassured. It's not that I don't trust the superior vs. magicians, royalty, and the upper echelons of the army in the First Frontier City… I'm sure someone is a traitor.

Incidentally, the matter has already spread to the military, and it seems to require vigilance. We all don't want to think about it, but we need to question a lot of people. [M]

"I don't think Julia and I will be together."

"Ahh... well, maybe so."

"If I wanted to drop the First World City, I was in the way of a Premium Warlock and other excellent Warlock. That's why I'm trapped inside the border... so rational. But Julia and I happened to be out early, so we escaped the border... and defeated that raid. If it were true, you would have wanted to lock us all in."

"But did you miss us on purpose?

"That's too much uncertainty. I don't know who goes first in that place. What I can't figure out is why it was that time..."

"If we were going to do everything we could, we should have done it the moment the meeting started. That way we could lock them all up."

"The boundaries cannot be lifted even if a bundle of Premium vs. Mages is formed. Perhaps the triggering conditions are quite stringent. Maybe the timing was too close."

"Shouldn't we be prepared in advance?

I wonder if it was because I didn't like it because it left traces. Even so, the skill to solve that bond without anyone noticing... if you think of it as a human being, you can only think of it as a superior vs. a magician or someone from the royal family... "

"What about third parties?

"It's not unlikely, but it's subtle. The meeting was not open to the public. There are only a few people who knew that there would be great anti-magicians in that place."

"... are you among the Premium vs. Mages?

"If it's possible, it's not impossible..."

stunned. If you were among the Premium Warriors... it would lose valuable combat power... and turn into enemies. Apart from the worst, I can't find a word.

But the opponent made a mistake. That means you couldn't keep me and Senpai inside. [M] So, Senpai and I took the lead in retreating from the attack.

But after all... if you've been planning this for a long time, I'm sure you should have succeeded in that affair. But why did only me and Senpai get out? Is that a coincidence? Or is there something between me and Senpai?

Though I think so, there is still no answer. We're still running backwards. And I don't think the traitor's behavior will end here. We may still be dancing in his palm just because we were recognized. [M]

"Well, Julia, it's time to go."

"Seventy-one Special Forces, right?

"I see. Well, things don't change. Kill the Demons at dusk, that's all. Plus, we're Premium vs. Wizards. If you're late, you won't be able to tell."

◇

They're coming to the rendezvous point. This is the Twilight Mobile Unit of the Seventh Frontier City, Special Detachment 71. The name is Special Squad because it does everything at dusk. It shreds the number of monsters in dangerous areas and acts as scouts to prevent them from coming to the border cities. Hostile Reconnaissance, Terrain Reconnaissance, Power Reconnaissance, all on the front lines. Always a tough squad fighting in the danger zone of dusk.

The Seventy-first Special Detachment will therefore require considerable strength. It's only natural to be a first-class anti-magician. Among them, it seems that they have selected something close to the Premium Versus Mage.

So we brief them in this conference room, grasp the operation, and go out into the dusk. And there were four of them inside. One woman and three men. And as we came in, he stared right at us.

"You're a child."

"Isn't that right?

"But...."

"But I'm sure these two were at the center of the raid. It's definitely information."

"You guys shut up... now, let's talk. New crew."

The leader is the elderly man who said so. He is nearly 180cm tall and in good shape. Her hair is already gray and her beard is slightly white. Still, I didn't think he was very old because of his style.

"My name is Robert Abel. I'm the captain of this squad, anyway. The rank is Colonel."

"Julia Curtis. Thank you very much."

It's Ella Reese.

"To tell you the truth, I don't want to discriminate on the basis of age, because they are both excellent and at that age they became superior versus magicians. Welcome to the front. I'm proud to fight with you."

I wonder if they're welcome...?

But I feel like other people, including this one, are looking at us with a little suspicion. [M]

"... you don't care. Are you sure you kids are strong? It's written on my face."

"Oops... don't you like it, lady?"

"Hmm. But... you guys look pretty strong, too. The atmosphere is different. There are many first-class versus magicians, but you're not far from here."

"I see. I'm sorry about that. I haven't checked your strength with my eyes. So what do you think? Hurry up, we're going to the danger zone today. But this is not like students partying and hunting in a safe zone. I want you to be careful."

"I'm still young, so I don't have much experience in combat. Fighting in dangerous zones is still not enough. But I can't keep my feet together. I'm not a Premium vs. Magician to Date. The same goes for Julia."

Eh... Shake it here? I will also respond with perseverance. I belonged to the toughest squad, the Twilight Mobile Force, the Seventy-One Special Forces. I also need to be aware of being a part of it.

"... I've been at dusk for two years. I think we know the danger zone pretty well."

That way, the other crew opens their mouths.

"This is the guy who lived for two years at dusk... I don't think so. And since you're a major, you're a better rank than me. That's not the case with the Premium vs. Mage."

"Hey, Scott. Stop fighting and selling it. It's embarrassing."

"I'm not selling anything else, Luna."

"That's enough for both of us. It's embarrassing in front of children."

"... as always, Carl is serious."

After that, I introduced myself, but the characteristics of other people were like this.

Someone with a slightly bad mouth. His name seems to be Scott Bates. She is as tall as me and thin. [M] Cut up blonde hair and have sharp eyes.

It seems that the woman is Luna Grey. Short, dark-haired, slightly less tall than me. About 170cm. It is sluggish and there is no thickness in the body and it is very thin.

The last man was Carl Hunt. Put on your glasses and it feels intelligent. My hair is brown and it is a little longer for men. It's seventy-third. It is nearly 180 cm tall and quite tall.

This is how Ella and I became part of Squad Seventy-One.
