152-Fruit of knowledge




 Ars sucked in a breath and looked at the battlefield. The enemy is a greedy academic.
 He had the knowledge to annihilate them, but in the limited time he had, he had to narrow down the content of his lectures to them. It's all about being able to provide them with what they want as mages.

'From now on, I will put it all together in a lecture format. Personal questions are a waste of time. As a student, you have a certain amount of ambition and desire to learn from the wizards who have gone before you. Therefore, I'm going to lecture here with the content based on the stories of the outside world that I usually have no way of learning. I'm not going to be able to answer all of them in the limited time available. Therefore, I will take questions first. Let's take it from there.
Now if anyone has any questions, please raise your hands...

 All at once, as if in sync with Loki's voice, a pinned arm was pointed at the ceiling. There is no insult of being an underclassman in this period.
 Although the situation of being a single magician, a situation that he himself admitted to in a sense, the students were enthralled by the overwhelming sense of magic that they had confirmed with their own eyes. It was too much to lend an ear to.

 It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

'What are the qualities required of a mage to survive in the outside world?

 The boys raised a moonlighting question at several, but this took a little time to think about it, even with Ars - although it was less than a second.
 As expected, there is no brave man in this place to get rid of the honorific language that he is accustomed to using with Ars because he is a low grade student.

 This question would take an enormous amount of time to get to the bottom of, but Ars thinks it's interesting. The missing element in this academy. It's something that is rarely included in the lessons to be learned in the academy.
 However, Ars personally thought that it would be the knowledge and skills that he should have seen before joining the army. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.
 Of course, we have to learn the limited knowledge and techniques to protect ourselves in the little time we have at the academy, so we can't help but choose the best option.

 I'm sure you'll be able to learn a wide range of techniques to survive in the outside world, but of course it's not possible to learn everything in a year or so, and it's customary to accumulate missions as a rookie and cultivate them as experience.
 Of course, it's because of this complacency that the number of casualties among newcomers will not decrease forever. It is certainly true that Arus's activity is bad enough to show a clear crisis in numbers.

 Hmmm, Ars snorted one and selected it as the subject for this time.

It's an interesting question, so let's talk about it, albeit in a small amount of time. Now, you're free to take notes there, but I'm not going to wait around for you to finish writing. If that's the case, I recommend that you force your brain to memorize the main points. If you can do the simultaneous thing, which is a remote task, then no problem.

 The student who was pointed out to me as such nodded his head and put away his notepad without saying a word.
 When everyone's eyes are focused on a single point, they don't even feel the tension and speak out fluently.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. The magic you learn here is the art of survival. But that's not the whole story. I'm sure you can think of it as less than half of it. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. So what else is required of a mage who goes to the outside world? I'm going to speak on the assumption that all the students here are mages who can go to the outside world.

 A mage who bends the knee in front of a demon may be spotted as a mage even if he survives with his life. Since there's no way to pursue it now, Ars dares to wave away the biggest concern.

''We don't know which troops they will all be in and how they will fare in the outside world. Even so, if we were to take on missions away from the defense of the army, such as the regaining of stolen territory, what is required is not only magic. In the outside world, you'll probably experience bad weather. It's also necessary to be able to detect the subtleties of this and read ahead, and if you're familiar with the knowledge and habits of demons, that's how good your crisis-sensing ability will be. In this case, it's very important for the survival rate of the squad, so it's very useful. The bottom line is that it comes down to being able to survive.

 The students were struggling to understand what was being said instead of remembering it, so as not to miss a single word.
 There was already no single wizard here, and a composition of teacher and student who gave a lot of knowledge had been created.

 Then, the students would be less hesitant to ask questions.

''Then does that mean that survival in encounters with demons can be attributed to survival skills?
There are other factors that come into play in an encounter, so the simple survival rate depends on the skill of the commander who leads the squad, but that's exactly what you're learning to do now, in terms of coordination and magic.
Then.....
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the future. The weather, the terrain, and the characteristics of the monsters are known in advance to ensure the advantage at the time of the encounter. This is the reason why the battle ability of the squad was demonstrated during the limited situation of the encounter, but it's also different when retreating, as well as when securing the retreat route in advance. Now, let's assume that you are in a group of five and you are out in the world. Naturally, your commander will be selected from among you. In terms of troop levels, it's a four-figure group of mages.

 Arus sorted out the situation in his brain and pondered how to make it easier to understand. It was something he had no experience with, but it didn't take him long to envision it.
 The conditions were written directly on the white board, not on the virtual LCD.

'No resupply, no relief. You are in the middle of your return trip after having lost contact with us a few dozen kilometers outside, relying only on your bearings. We will assume you are in good condition and no one is injured. Let's assume that you will be accompanied by a detection wizard. But even so, considering the strength of the squad, you have to avoid a series of battles if you are to return home. Of course, the demons will be on their way home. But in this case, how important is the weather?

 Ars smiles at the students who tilt their heads slightly. Knowing this, whether or not they know it or not might increase their chances of surviving in the outside world in the future by even 0.1%.

A skilled wizard checks the weather first, and more importantly, the humidity. 'A skilled wizard first checks the weather, and then the humidity. "Are you familiar with the types of monsters near Alpha? What's the terrain?

 He doesn't wait for an answer, but continues.
 Loki next to me must be pondering. He looks at the board and nods.

'You can't leave it up to others when it's so important for your survival. It depends on the amount of rain, but if it were to rain, which route would be the safest?

 Ars drew a simple map and pointed to a point without looking at it.

'Of course everyone is safe, but in this case it would be less likely to be encountered if we didn't return to Alpha in a straight line, but instead took a detour and returned from the Krebito side. There are a few vertical bald plains in this area. The low rates near Alpha can be hidden by deep trees in case of rain. If you take that route, you'll find yourself surrounded by no retreat,
That's just a possibility........that maybe you could encounter a high-ranked demon........or something?

 The female student questioned, looking like she was having a hard time refuting the question.
 But Ars brushed off the question.

'Of course there is that possibility. But there's just as much chance of that happening if you return normally. I'd like to say that there's nothing more smelly than the word "absolute" in the outside world. Even so, there is no reason why we should neglect our efforts to always do our best in order to survive. And moreover, the captain who leads the squad has an unusual state of mind. I have the lives of my troops in my hands, and I can't afford to make a bad choice. Worst case scenario, you can go into Crebidito.
You are violating our exclusive borders, then.
No mistake. But it's not so much an invasion as an exaggeration. As a member of the military, you have to follow the rules, but it's a given that the stiffs who can defend it at the cost of their lives will often die a premature death. Use everything you have to use. If you're alive, you can make up for it all you want. A man who throws away his life because of an invasion shouldn't be in the army, and I would lament the bad luck of hitting a commander like that.

 Harsh words are, more than anything else, a mindset that keeps us from dying.
 How far could the students take it?

''Of course, what you just said is necessary knowledge, but what we need to do now in the academy is to at least develop the strength to protect ourselves. Naturally, you can learn this after you join the military, but I'll just say that if you have the time, you should be more knowledgeable about the outside world. Spring, summer, fall and winter, you can't tell if you're inside a protective wall, but in the outside world, the environment is different by orders of magnitude. We shouldn't forget the existence of ravenous flora and fauna, not just demons, right?

 After looking around and keeping his watch in his field of vision, Ars rubbed his shoulder and said, "Then we'll end this, of course I won't take any questions," and Loki asked him to leave.
 The students were taking notes at their desks as if they were sticking around, their eyes darting back and forth between the whiteboard and their hands.

 When Ars holds the blackboard eraser, a voice leaked out in places with a sad face, "Oh".

 Seeing that expression, Ars nastily confronted the reality.
 I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

''Hi, it's over.''
""Oh,"
If you're going to make a note, think about it over and over again so you don't forget. "If you're going to make a memo, think about it over and over again in your head so that you don't forget it, like what would be the best course of action in any situation. You don't reverse the order, it's the knowledge first. There is an absolute lack of knowledge on how to think strategically and tactically. And the fact that I've lectured you on something that isn't taught in the academy doesn't necessarily make it right. It may be useful, though. You can't afford to be wrong about what you should do now, or you'll suffer anyway. You're going to have to hone your magic, and then in the extra time you have, you can exercise your mind and cram it in a little bit at a time. It's easier to learn this stuff from someone who's been there.
Yes, sir.

 He got up with a somewhat nervous look on his face and stood up with a bang, agreeing to do as he was told and leaving the room quickly.
 Ars didn't want to believe that this situation was the real him. It's a bad draw, teachers and all. What a joke, he thought, but strangely, he didn't feel bored.

 Loki assured him firmly.

'Well done, Ars-sama. Everyone was listening to you.''
'Come on, I didn't say anything that would be admired for stating the obvious,'
'Yes, maybe. Everyone will be reminded of that in the outside world. But the results may be a little different than if you had known in advance.
I don't know.
It is because of what Lord Arus said that they will listen and take heed.

 Loki wound up with a deep sense of emotion as he mixed his words with glee.
 Whether this was due to the pecking order or because he had seen firsthand what Ars was capable of, he didn't know, but there was no doubt that he had imparted some solid wisdom to them.

 The time was before noon. The pseudo-sun that shone down on them only poured a faint glare on the ground, and the series of lectures that were about to come up did not make Ars feel unexpectedly painful.
 It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this topic. If you look closely, you can see that this is the second or third time you've seen a student's face.
 But if every lecture is completely different, it's understandable that it's impossible for an ambitious student to miss a single one. However, every estimate that it will be over in a few sessions is betrayed by every single one of them.

 There were a few great teachers, but to Ars, they seemed to be the same faces who were supposed to learn the same thing.

 It goes without saying that this is an event that has helped improve the quality of teachers at the Second Academy of Magic. Knowledgeable teachers need to find a better way to discern what to teach their students than to make choices.
 Teaching students to think flexibly and in real time in the context of the current situation allows them to take a broader view of things.

 For the teachers, the lecture may have been a bit boring, but the change in my expression as a teacher on the way home was enough to make me realize that it was a good time for innovation.
