After school. We were supposed to stay in an empty classroom for tomorrow's hands-on exercise in the Kafka Forest, combined with an ops conference and an introduction.

"You may know, it's Amelia-Rose. Nice to meet you, guys."

Start by introducing yourself from Amelia.

Now the four of us are sitting around the desk. And Evie, next to that left, opens her mouth.

"I'm Evi-Armstrong. Ray and the dorm room are in the same room. Nice to meet you all."

Elisa was next. Still mojimoji, but she immediately started introducing herself.

"Ah...... er that...... it's Elisa-Grifis...... it's a half elf......! Oh, that... thank you!

It's my turn at the end.

"It's Ray-White. I'm from Ordinary, and I have a lot of problems with magic... well, thank you."

The fact that everyone's introduction is over again promptly led us to discuss the Kafka Forest attack.

"So... Kafka Forest. That's pretty big. I told my senior that there are quite a few parties I can complete each year. Above all, the question is, do you think the magic that drives the direction crazy is activated across the forest?"

"I see. A pattern of witchcraft anchored in the forest itself."

"Yep. Looks like it."

I'm in tune with Amelia.

There is a phenomenon in this world where magic has settled on the land. That's what creates the labyrinth and other special places.

But Kafka Forest drives the sense of direction crazy...... in addition to that, you have to take care of the demons, and you can't go all the way walking. Even assuming we spend at least one night, it's going to be pretty tough.

I'm more experienced than ever, and that's the jungle, etc., but I'm confident I can operate for about 3 days without going to sleep... and everyone else on the boulder won't either.

"Right... I'd like to grasp the forest terrain first, but it's hard to grasp just this map I got... Let's just go to the local area and figure this out… let's sort out the magic we're all good at."

"I'm good with flames."

"I'm a physical enhancement!

"I'm... that... I'm good at... water and wind...?

"I see. By the way, I'm just like Evie, and I'm good at physical enhancement systems"

I never added that even in my current state......

Why am I so good at physical enhancement? No, the description of being good is not strictly correct. Compared to others, it would be correct to mean that it can still be used......

Because if internal interference, not external interference, then code theory is easy to apply.

"Right...... then, would the avant-garde like Ray and Evie? I'm the middle guard in the guerrilla, and the rear guard is Elisa or something?

"No, I want Zhongwei to take care of it."

"Really?"

"Ah. I know how to train this hand. I'll probably get the most accurate idea of the situation. Amelia wants to leave the avant-garde with Evi."

"Ok... but he said he knows how to train this hand... you still..."

"Well, that's a lot in the country woods"

With that said, Amelia quickly switches stories.

"Oh well... well fine. I'm counting on Ray for everything. He's actually pretty good at training swords and moving his body."

"Oh! Amelia has the same opinion! I don't know... Ray's is acting strangely... he looks like my father..."

"Oh. Evie's father?

"Oh. I'm a soldier, but the vibe is strangely similar."

"Hmm. That's right..."

Amelia stares at me. I know you want to pry, but it's through stable now. I decided to ask Elisa for her opinion one last time.

"Elisa. I've made up my mind, okay? Your opinion is also valuable."

"Ah... that... I'm certainly more of a sorcerer... okay... I can't move if it's avant-garde... good luck supporting everyone...!

"Hmm. That's how it goes"

"Yeah......!

Elisa's one was strangely motivated. If my breakthrough worked, I'd be happy to.

"Nevertheless, I didn't know that the eldest daughter of the Rose family was coming. It's so unexpected..."

That was Evi. Well, for sure, Amelia would have chosen a better party. But how come you chose our place on purpose?

"I don't like lineage or anything."

"Mm-hmm. Really? The Roses are certainly the heads of the three nobles, aren't they? Aren't you proud of me?

"Not that I'm not proud of it... but... I don't like it being explained in blood. I tried so hard to be what I am now... and they say I'm just a talented magician."

"... I see. There seems to be a lot of nobility."

I don't like lineage. I've never heard that story before, but I say that some nobles are disgusted by that too much pedigree... Amelia was apparently that way.

Surely pedigree weighs its blood above all else. I mean... talent. But as I said before, competence is demonstrated by the proper intertwining of three things: talent, effort, and environment. This is the Master's word, but I think it's the truth.

Talent alone is not enough. Efforts alone, the environment alone.

I've been taught not to like it. Blood does matter. But I can't move on if I'm trapped in all that. As a matter of fact, not all of the world's seven magicians are of noble origin.

After that, we were all to discuss it again and dissolve it.

So the next day. We were in front of the Kafka Forest. All I see in front of me is a woodland that just thrives. So much so that it is impossible to see behind it.

All freshman students participated in this exercise, but the initial position was set for each party and we stood at a designated location.

"Ugh... I'm nervous..."

"It's okay, Elisa. Because we are."

"Ugh... Amelia is sweet... Ugh..."

"Already. Cheer up. There you go!

And the women were playing with each other.

Speaking of us men on the other hand...

"Ray, you don't seem nervous."

"Absolutely. It's more like it's been a while."

"Long time no see?"

"As it were, well, you're from the country. I was running around the woods and mountains."

"Hmm. Really?"

The last few days. I know Amelia and Evi's gaze is getting tough from time to time. Well, I do have circumstances that don't reveal my identity easily, but lying has also become quite distressing. Master, what should I do...

"... Master"

"Hmm? Did I say something?

"No... nothing."

Look up at the sky. Summer is already approaching and the sky is so clear... I felt that way. Under this blue sky, I'll move on today.

"Well. Are you both ready?

"Ouch!

"Oh. I'm fine, no problem"

"Ugh... good luck...! Me...... good luck!

If you look at the watch that way, it will be about 6: 00 AM, the designated time.

By the way, what can be brought in for this exercise are watches, portable food, water bottles, and then knives and swords. The rest will be procured locally. It's going to be a lot of tough training, but I want to make the most of my experience.

"Well, let's get started"

When we hear voices like that from nowhere, we run in unison. I can't see anything ahead, even going straight into the woods overflowing with trees... Apparently, our starting position wasn't so good.

"Demons!?

"Huge bee" Hughby "? Everybody, line up! Let's go!"

"Roger that!!

Our battle in the Kafka Forest brought up the curtain.
