Legend of the Continental Heroes

A Short and Long Journey

The students of the Royal Military Academy are all boarding students.

Although it was obvious that the boys lived men’s dormitory, and the girls lived in the women’s dormitory. With the exception of nobles and royalty, the dormitory is divided between the commoners.

Because death is impartial to everyone on the battlefield, it seems likely that is the reason behind the non-existent budget.

And thus, the school’s male to female ratio is 4 : 1, overwhelmingly in favor of the boys. That’s true. It doesn’t seem there would be a lot of female soldiers.

As a result, the number of men’s dormitory and the women’s dormitory differ. There is only one woman’s dormitory, but as for the boys, there are four.

I’ll say this one more time. There is only one woman’s dormitory. Sarah Malinowska has no choice but to go there.

If the baldy and his buddies still wanted the thing she is carrying, or possibly capture the person herself, then they’ll prepare an ambush beforehand at the entrance of the women’s dormitory.

It doesn’t have to be at the front of the entrance. If it was me, I would keep an eye on the way towards the women’s dormitory. She has no choice but to pass through there. I think the baldy and his buddies would also realize this.

“This is what I meant. Do you understand?”

“I don’t understand”

“To put it simply, it’ll be dangerous”

They are probably angry since she had burned their heads. Really angry. She is clearly in a bad situation. I imagine they would get revenge by all means.

And then about the girl… well, I might have done it if it was my head that had been burned. I’d hate it if I was bald until the age of thirty.

Is it good enough to return now? No, it’s too late.

Thanks to her half-hearted getaway, our current position is in the opposite side of the women’s dormitory.

In short, she had given them enough time to block off the way to the women’s dormitory after putting out the fire on their heads.

Now then, what can I do?

Abandoning is not an option. To follow the situation up until now, I’m not brave enough to be able to say ‘Is that so? Well, good luck’.

If I had done such a thing, I would have died from feelings of guilt.

In the end, all I can do is [Force a way through to the women’s dormitory, escort Sarah Malinowska to the women’s dormitory, and retreat myself] kind of thing. Right, nice and simple.

Our fighting potential are only two people, Sarah Malinowska and I.

“How many people are there?”

“Five of them. Besides the baldy, I don’t know any of them”

“Who’s the bald man?”

“… You don’t know?”

Goodness gracious, is he a famous person?

“He’s a fifth-year student, Sep Tarnowski. The fourth son of the Earl Patryk Tarnowski, the Chief Executive of the Department of Justice” [1]

“… Seriously?”

“I hate liars”

Malinowska-san said it very clearly. A chief executive is equivalent to a minister in my previous world. Basically, that guy’s father is the Minister of Justice.

… Oi Oi, we threw a water ball and fire ball on him. [2]

“Well, you don’t need to worry about it so much. After all, he’s the fourth son. Since he will not be able to inherit the peerage, I doubt the chief executive will deal with it as long as the matter isn’t up to a great extent. Besides, it’s a daily occurence to throw magic, kick, and hit in the military academy. The Earl should know about this. At the most, the burned hair roots will just be [an unfortunate accident during training]”

Although, she’ll be charged and held responsible for the [unfortunate accident during training].

“You’re quite familiar with this. By any chance, is Malinowska-san a daughter from a rich family?”

“… I’m not a daughter from a rich family. Just an ordinary daughter of a knight”

“Hmm?”

Well, it’s close to what I expected. It’s useless for a commoner like me to meddle in noble affairs.

“So, what should we do in the end?”

“That’s right. For the time being, why don’t we engage in reconnaissance on the way towards the women’s dormitory?” [3]

It’s basic knowledge to know the enemy’s situation before engaging the enemy.
