Volume 11, Chapter 22: Preparing for War
Translator : Zhaernon
"So, there are seventeen people in the class now, and one is still missing… Well, it's about the same, but everyone is tough, after all, everyone else's class has thirty or forty people."
Tomorrow was the start of the event, so today in class we went straight to the pre-event wrap-up.
Well, one person less is indeed quite a disadvantage. After all, he is the disciple of the Sword Saint, such a person can at least be a tank if he can't be used as a holy ride.
The one in charge of speaking now is Teacher Mary, after all, I'm still very uncomfortable with standing on top of the podium for this kind of thing.
"However, I don't think it's a problem for you guys, after all, you all are people with different abilities than the average person, it's not that hard to eliminate the other classes."
"Hey, hey, Teacher Mary, you have a problem with that, right? What do you mean by elimination? We're civilized people." I immediately protested, this was so unprofessional.
"Even if we have to kill something, it will be silent, okay? Elimination or something is too general."
"Well, you're right." Teacher Mary nodded, then continued, "It's a joke, of course, you don't have to take out the others and we have very good ways of incapacitating them, don't we?"
Saying that, she looked at Alexia. When Teacher Mary looked at her like that, Alexia was stunned, then she also understood what she meant. But she didn't express anything, but spread her hands.
I was shocked though. After what happened yesterday, how did these guys become so obedient overnight? My cold sweat slowly flowed down, but I tried to remain calm, after all, I didn't want to experience what had happened last time again.
"Well, I've already explained your strengths and weaknesses once yesterday, so you guys should think about how to bring your strengths into play. After all, we not only have to deal with those beasts in the event starting tomorrow, but more importantly there are other classes of students waiting for us. Also, according to the information, some of the guys attracted by the dragon have also sneaked into that area, and although the teacher will help you take them out when those guys show up, it's also very important to save your own lives."
I've also confirmed to Mi Xiuya about that, and indeed there are other people who have received information about the dragon appearing inside the dense forest and it will probably be there when we go to the dense forest as well. This was also in exchange for information about Beatrice's arm battle, after all, as the first person to put a humanoid arm on a human, I still really want to know how my work is.
But those people... well, it's best if we don't meet them, but if we do, we'll have to be convinced with reason.
That's right, we're civilized people, we have to convince people with reason.
But...
The class did get a little quiet today, the original people weren't making any noise and the new additions, Geraldine and Kenan, weren't talking much, so the class was still listening to Teacher Mary calmly.
But Geraldine always carried that huge accordion with her wherever she went, and she was wearing a black dress, which was pretty weird looking. But the expression on her face would occasionally suddenly smile wryly, and I wondered if she'd kept quiet on purpose, or if Renata had just been slightly mischievous.
"But despite that, we don't know what that dragon is carrying, do we?" Beatrice said grimly.
"And how exactly will we decide who wins in the end?"
"How about that kind of thing?"
Alexia, who was next to him said, "Just get the treasure from that big guy who has a lot of sex but has no fertility, right?"
**Boom… well, that's true, according to the books about dragons in this world, dragons are still very… well, what can I say, like to bang? But the problem is that they're pretty bad at breeding between their own races, and their numbers are pretty low. But it and other races....
Ahem, it's pretty much like the dragons of our world, dragons have nine different sons, and each one stays more or less the same.
Well, this is their ecology, I don't care, after all, I'm not a monster hunter, I don't have the habit of hiding to watch their ecology and then formulate a method to kill them.
But if following it can reveal where its treasure is, it's justifiable to observe it, right?
"Really, can't you be a little more subtle with your statements?" Beatrice blushed a little, clearly uncomfortable with such a topic.
Hey and that's why you guys are so relative, right?
"No one else has as much to do with it as you do, huh."
What Alexia said was untrue. They just didn't say anything and how can they say anything when there are so many black bellies ?
I won't say that we have here the dark elf queen Bergis, inherited cognition girl Sally, mature and old-fashioned Lori Oona, in order to avenge her own mother to kill her father Melodo, the rest are what princesses or dukes of the offspring, how to say their mind is a lot more mature than that of an average person.
As the teacher of such a group of people, I'm really stressed. Luckily Teacher Mary seems to be able to control them, I probably wouldn't be able to in my place, after all, it's not like a game, it's not like they're just going to do whatever you say.
"Well, that's the situation. But then again, don't you guys know how to find Cornelia?" Finally, Teacher Mary asked this.
Everyone looked at each other with a look of not knowing.
"Alright, that's it for today then, we'll gather and leave at nine tomorrow morning, so don't be late. "
"Wait a minute! I also want to clarify." I said as soon as Teacher Mary had finished speaking.
"This afternoon's field class is cancelled, so get your stuff together, you're going to survive in the wilderness, so don't expect a hotel or anything."
"Can I bring anything?" Hurd asked the question.
"...I guess so?" I thought about it.
"You just don't take the airship with you, it's too ostentatious."
"Haha..."
You don't really want to carry that grin on your face, do you?

"This list of yours… it's really scary."
In the afternoon, Lanya who received my order personally flew over in an airship, originally she would have gone to take care of her business after opening her shop here, but I didn't expect her to come in the morning just after I sent her the order for goods.
"Which country are you planning to go against?" She asked, looking at the list in her hand.
"Fifty bombs? 20 grenades of each attribute? Arrows and weapons for dragons? What's all this? I might still be able to get you the first ones but how am I supposed to get things like weapons against dragons and can you use it?"
"Yeah? I thought there were weapons specifically for use against dragons."
"Since dragons no longer visit areas where humans live, the weapons that were used against dragons long ago have been preserved as artifacts in various areas, and their significance has changed from being practical to being memorials, like antiques."
"That's not really good news, that would mean that it would still be a bit of a hassle to get such weapons, and we don't have the time to find them."
"Well, you don't really need to find a weapon like that, after all, those weapons are only added with special materials that add special properties."
"Oh, what's that?"
Lanya thought about it, then took out a small booklet from inside her backpack.
"Let's see ah... the potion used against dragons... the Song of the Lost Dragon, the picture is roughly like this."
Saying that, she showed me her notes, and the plant drawn on it… was actually a plant that looked like a ginseng, but had spikes on it, and the top part had leaves that looked like jagged teeth.
"Well, I bet it's still very rare."
"It turns out that the army will still have reserves for the dragon troops, but I don't know about that now."
"Yeah..." I thought about it.
"I think… herbs, some people probably might have them, right?"
