The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 61



Only Krnovel

I returned to the chapel and sighed. The conversation with the vice-captain was quite cold. It was even more so because I always saw him smiling brightly.

The arm of the ancient being obtained from the body of the guardian in the tutorial. As soon as he saw it in the bag, the vice-captain took out the orb.

The determination to block the entrance in an instant. After that, a wild storm of magical power erupted. For a moment, I was worried that I might get seriously hurt.

“Is there anything I need to prepare?”

In the end, the vice-captain took the bait. He expressed his deep gratitude for knowingly doing it. This solves the most annoying problem.

“Nothing in particular.”

When I told that fact, Winter also had a determined look on her face. It was the tension brought about by the harsh environment of the desert.

“But it’s still a desert.”

“Hmm, winter is scary for us.”

“… … “No.”

Canis made fun of Winter who was very worried. She smiled slyly and Winter responded with her axe eyes.

“The desert is really dangerous, but it’s not dangerous.”

“What do you mean by that?”

I laughed at Canis’ words. Warden reacted to the word danger. I slapped Warden on the shoulder and put him to sleep again.

“The desert is similar to the sea.”

“The sea?”

“uh. “To be precise, it has a unique magical power.”

The desert was similar to the sea. The characteristic of the sea is its unique sticky magic. It is characterized by magical power filled with water properties.

The desert was similar. Fire attribute magic that expands like an explosion. If the magic of the sea is so heavy that it is difficult to breathe, the magic of the desert can be seen as magic that evaporates without doing anything.

“The equipment will be procured locally.”

“Local procurement? Hmm. I wonder if they have the money.”

The difficult environment of the desert itself is unavoidable. The sinking feet and the hot air that burns your lungs.

However, since the physical strength of the people in this world was far superior, there was no big problem as long as they had the right equipment. I didn’t have any magical power, and Winter used divine power, so it didn’t matter.

“Canis’s power will be reduced a little.”

“Yes, it’s okay. Crystal magic is highly efficient.”

I was a little worried about Canis, who had an important magic recovery rate. However, Canis smiled brightly and answered proudly.

“Anyway, that’s how I know it. “The schedule is to depart in two days.”

The vice-captain even paid for my travel expenses, as if he was planning to support me properly. I was about to decline, but I had to accept it after receiving a sharp stare.

I was under a lot of surveillance because of the long-term mission. It didn’t matter since it was something that was bound to happen anyway, but I was a little scared.

It was difficult to describe the personality of the princess, the vice-captain’s superior, as good. In the game, the princess’s nickname was [Iron-Blooded Empress].

“But how did you get permission? Long-term missions are hard.”

“The imperial family gave permission.”

“… …Is it okay?”

Winter asked worriedly. I nodded. The princess is as cruel as her nickname suggests. She was a person who would sacrifice many things for her own will and purpose.

However, the princess was very popular in the community. It was thanks to her resourcefulness that she did not hesitate to use any means, and the odd trait of thinking about the people.

She places a lot of value on ability, and that’s what I was aiming for.

“Ouch~ This is hard~”

The only way to get out of Museon Island was by boat. We headed to the nearest territory on a ship that runs once a week.

Those who carried the supplies they received when going on a mission stretched out their heavy bodies. Winter, who was seasick, lay down in a deep thought.

“Seniors.”

“why.”

“Please drive gently.”

“……okay.”

Davide carried Winter because she couldn’t move. She left an apologetic request with a haggard face.

Canis took advantage of this moment to tease Winter hard, but Winter didn’t even react.

“Outside? Long time no see.”

Warden was excited because it had been a while since he had been outside and looked around. Davide, who grabbed Warden by the back as he was about to go somewhere, led the group.

“After lunch, let’s take the train. Winter. “Can I eat rice?”

“Ugh.”

“Eat it even if you vomit it out.”

We headed to the restaurant on the dock. The restaurant for sailors was full of various seafood dishes.

“Where are you going by train~ There aren’t many cities in the desert~”

Canis asked, eating the grilled orange that was served as an appetizer. Davide unfolded the map he had brought in advance.

It was a map showing only the major cities of the desert. Davide glanced at the faces of the group.

“There are a total of four cities in the Ola Desert. Two in the north, one in the northeast and one in the east. “We are heading to the city in the northeast.”

Winter’s face was filled with worry. Kanisya was the confident type, and Warden didn’t care about such things.

The Ola Desert is a difficult area that requires a lot of preparation, although the monsters are not that strong. The preparation cost and time required to hunt properly are considerable.

“Don’t worry.”

Winter’s concerns were valid, but there was no problem. Those who use poison pose no threat to Davide.

Those who hid in the sand and made surprise attacks were detected by Warden’s intuition, and the illusion caused by the mirage had Winter’s tacit consent.

“It’s okay to call this a desert-only party now.”

“Sure~ Davi is very lucky~ and there are women like me~”

Winter’s face also gradually relaxed due to Canis, who couldn’t stand it anymore and kept talking nonsense. It wasn’t good to completely relax, but it wasn’t good to be so tense that it affected his condition either.

Davide looked at Winter silently. Winter, with a complicated expression on her face, closed her eyes tightly for a moment and quietly made up her mind.

“Dabi~ Dabi~”

“why.”

While eating the food that came out one by one, Canis called Davide. She nodded her head as she cracked open a clam.

“Can’t you feel something?”

I had felt a blatant gaze from earlier. I glanced at the small table on the other side of the restaurant.

I saw a passerby sitting awkwardly with his feet up on the table. She was wearing a thick robe that completely covered her body.

“hmm? Stalker~”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

Winter tilted her head at Canis’s words that he gave her while tapping her. Canis stroked Winter’s head as if he found it cute, as she did not understand Rob’s impression.

Winter, who was suddenly treated with cuteness, made a puzzled face.

“Our cute Winter, eat your food~”

“… … What is that treatment?”

Winter grumbled and finished eating her food. The guy who was complaining that he couldn’t eat due to motion sickness ate the hardest.

Warden didn’t show any reaction. The guy who was more sensitive to danger than anyone else just stayed still.

“I must have done something wrong~ After all, Duhane~”

“That’s true. But I guess Ulbusis won’t be easy either.”

I snorted at Canis’ words. The feet of the robed passerby on the table were covered with armor.

“Well, it doesn’t seem dangerous.”

A robed pedestrian who had taken her gaze away came out of the restaurant. Although she was wrapped in a robe, you could tell that she was a woman.

Davide continued to eat without paying attention. The food was disappearing quickly because of Winter.

“You look like you can’t eat it, but you eat it well.”

“… … Did I say I couldn’t eat it? “I don’t remember.”

“What are you doing?”

As I gently teased him, Winter rolled her eyes. She laughed wildly at her words. She now knew how to fight back.

“Come on. Let’s eat quickly. There’s not much time left until the train leaves.”

There was a train station near the restaurant. It was a means of transportation that only existed in the Empire, powered by something called a horsepower engine.

“There’s a train, so why are you taking a carriage?”

“Hmm, that’s because horsepower engine technology is not yet developed~”

Canis added a reason to Davide’s cynical words.

“Development?”

“Yes, the engine is too big for commercialization.”

Davide waved his hand as if he was not interested. The huge train was quite a sight to behold. He could not look at it for long because of Winter pulling at his sleeve.

“Why is the price so expensive… … .”

Winter seemed quite surprised by the exorbitant train ticket price. Although the cost was high, she was not worried.

Anyway, there was someone who would pay all the expenses for this mission.

“I guess I’ll be done once I get to my accommodations and unpack.”

“Well, I guess so.”

It’s currently 2 o’clock. The train ride is about 4 hours, so by the time we get there, unpack, and eat dinner, the day is almost over.

Davide was okay because he had a lot of stamina, but Canis and Winter were the type to go to bed early and wake up early, so they couldn’t do any more activities than that.

“How about motion sickness?”

“… … I’m just leaving so I don’t know. It’s my first time riding a train.”

“How did you get into school?”

“… … “I was sleeping on the boat at that time.”

“Woden.”

Winter smiled awkwardly. Davide called out to Warden. Warden, who had been clinging to the window and looking outside, turned his head.

Even so, Warden is an alchemist. Something related to drugs was something to look forward to.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“help? hmm. help.”

Warden, who had been quiet until now, took something out of his bosom. It was an orange pill.

“oh. thank you.”

Winter was extremely grateful and quickly took the medicine. Canis looked puzzled and I laughed in vain.

“Uh, why does everyone look at me like that?”

“Are you stupid?”

“to?”

“If it had been seasickness medication, it would have been given to you on the boat.”

“uh.”

Winter opened her mouth and looked at Warden. Her face was full of betrayal. Davide also looked at Warden.

I was just sitting there on the boat, wondering what he had given me now that I was here.

“Sleeping pills? Yes. Anything that might help?”

“okay. Good job.”

It was a pretty passive attitude. I thought it was because he was a guy with a clear world.

-thud.

Unable to bear it any longer, Winter banged her head on the table. Either the guy who gave it to her or the guy who came now and handed her sleeping pills.

Davide, whose gaze had been stinging Canis, shrugged his shoulders.

“Hmm~ Dabi must be having a hard time~”

“I personally selected them.”

The train started smoothly. It was as fast as a modern train. The ride wasn’t great, but it wasn’t annoying.

“What are you going to do in the desert?”

“Hmm, there are a lot of things to do in the desert.”

Canis lifted Winter up and leaned her against the wall. There was a red bump on Winter’s forehead. Canis answered Davide’s question vaguely.

“I’ll follow Davi for now~ I might be of great help~”

Canis looked as if he was expecting something.

“Anything will be fun. “Of course there is something you want.”

Canis smiled charmingly at Davide’s meaningful words. Davide sat down and closed his eyes.

The group each took a break. Nothing much happened until about an hour had passed.

―I will guide you. The train will stop for a while due to external factors. Passengers are requested to remain in their seats and follow the instructions.

Everyone except Winter, who had collapsed due to the medicine, opened his eyes wide. Davide furrowed his brows hard.

It was a situation that could be easily overlooked, but for some reason, I felt uneasy.

“Um, what’s going on?”

“That’s it. “I don’t know.”

“hmm? “Something is coming over there.”

Warden immediately pointed out the window. After passing the grassland, the desert began to appear. Dust was visible from where Warden pointed.

“I think it’s an event.”

Something kicking up dust was heading straight for the train.
