The outer world, the battlefield, is a place that wears the mind down.
　As promised by Illumina and Felinella, we must always keep in mind that our survival zone is where we should be. This awareness is a natural part of the equilibrium.

　Idle chatter is whispered among the students. As if to distract from the approaching tense atmosphere, their voices were laced with falsehoods.

　The skills and experiences that they have acquired during their time at the academy are considered to be poor in the outside world and in front of the experienced wizards that are gathered here. In fact, much of what they have learned in the academy is the knowledge to handle magic and does not guarantee their survival in the outside world.

　Even more so, they only have an image in their heads of how to defeat demons, and they have not yet been able to reconcile it with reality. Some noblemen, for example, have no choice but to gain experience in actual battles, and if we were to say it, this is their first experience of real battles in the true sense of the word.

　Felinella was glancing at the gathering in each academy. Every day after the classes at the academy were over, they participated in the training conducted by the association, which was held in each of the branches in each country.
　That being said, the elected members of each academy were known.

　But........Illumina whispered Felinella's premonition first.

''It seems that some of the troops are lagging behind, and most importantly, we're seeing subtle changes in membership.................and some of the decrease.

　He had been told beforehand, but he wasn't sure if they would actually function well as a unit. In the meantime, there were no major member changes, which was a bit of a relief.

''It seems so. But at the very least, I'm glad the top group stayed the same.

　The hint of relief was due to the fact that he was concerned about the loss of strength as a unit. Even though they are students from other countries, there will be situations where they will cooperate with each other inside the deposit. It's not just a matter of being good enough for us. This mission is divided into different units, but the goal is the same for everyone.

　Many of the troops are dressed in the uniform of the academy, and it is easy to determine which academy they are from at a glance.

　First of all, the unit of the second magic academy led by Felinella. There are five members.
　Felinella, who is the captain of the unit, is in charge of the vanguard and backup as she is the mainstay of judging the situation. Depending on the situation, she will follow everything.

　Illumina, who serves as the second in command, is the vanguard who takes the lead and actively confronts the demons.
　Then there are two four-digit male students as the top force on campus. Both students have only experienced defeating the outside world in extracurricular classes, but they are both skilled students. Their strength, which has been refined through training, even if only slightly, has been transformed into confidence, and their fearlessness is encouraging.

　Their selection is not only a simple ranking, but they are also close friends with Felinella and Illumina. There is no doubt that they are close friends who have a friendly competition. Although they are not aristocrats, their gentlemanly demeanor exudes in places, giving the impression of being good-natured.

　Two of them are combatants as well as the vanguard, Illumina.

　And the last one is Seniat Fokimil, who is in charge of the rear guard, as a backup person. She was the student who was in charge of Alice's supervisor when the first extracurricular lesson was held at the Second Academy of Magic.
　She is now a third year student and has a more mature atmosphere.

　Although she was in the outside world, she stood as calm and collected as Felinella. She wears a cloak with the association's logo on top of her uniform.
　Seniat seems to be talking to the male members about something. At least because of her concern, I couldn't see any of the students elected from the Second Magic Academy being overawed.

　--If it's true, it's my role.........but Seniat-san seems to notice the details very well.

　After all, it's dependable, Felinella breathes a small breath.
　Unlike herself and Illumina, who get a lot of attention on campus, she doesn't build walls and is easily liked by people. Unlike her friendly nature, she has a wide range of friendships, regardless of gender.

　She is the kind of woman who can have one friend in a school year and make a hundred. That's one of her talents, and it's her good nature that makes her so good at taking care of the underclassmen.
　Seniat is without a doubt the conduit that keeps the unit functioning well.

　Most importantly, the inclusion of Seniat attempted to resolve the difficult issue that plagued Felinella herself until the last minute, whether she could fulfill her role as a troop, and whether she could give orders in the same way as the so-called wizards who go out into the outside world. I'm aware that this is a cunning method of leaving it to others, but if that's how the troops come together successfully, there's no pros and cons.

　Ruthless decision making is a difficult matter for Ferrinella to go to, no matter how far. In order to prevent delays and stoppages in thinking that can be fatal at critical moments, Felinerra had asked the chancellor to make up a group of people who are close friends within the university.

　Fortunately, though, everyone, including Illumina, was surprised that they all responded immediately.

'Let's complete this safely, Illumina.
'Yes. Huh, and I don't like being protected by so many people, like this child's errand boy. I'm going to be a wizard and I'm going to be a soldier.

　You can feel the sting in the words, but I'm sure the rest of the unit feels the same frustration that Illumina does.

It's not so much the importance of the mission, it's the fact that the students are involved. It's not so much the importance of the mission as the students' participation in it, as much as it's the fact that they are all returning home unharmed, which will give the association a chance to make a difference, and also to lay the groundwork for future missions, even for students. I can't even begin to tell you.
'I envy Felli for being an odd swallower.
'I'm not averse to taking a twisted view like you do, Illumina. But still, when you look around like this, it's pretty obvious.

　Those of us who have been watching the outside world and wizards at their side seem to be poised. If you put some distance between you and them, you'll immediately understand. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


　Some such students would be expected to do great work in this mission. Felinella turned her attention to one of those troops.
　Among the troops selected from the first-ranked Academy of Magic in Rusarka, there was even Filiric Arganu, who had made a name for himself in the friendly magic competition.

　He had a Buddha's face on his face, looking how bored he was. From the point of view of Felinella, who was a nobleman, he was hard to notice, and his cleverly hidden condescension could be confirmed at the edges.
　He only caught it out of the corner of his eye, but he noticed Felinella's gaze, and his eyes met with Karia, the troop leader of the First Magic Academy. Shaking her jade-colored hair, Karia's mannerisms seemed to be soft, and she lowered her eyes.

　In response, Felinella returned it with a bail. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. She is practically the oldest person in the room.
　Even if she wasn't, Ferrinella would have done the same thing to her elders, no matter who they were.

　It seems that the student corps of other countries also select those who are high enough in rank to be known in their respective academies.

　

　Illumina, who was the first to notice, swallowed her astonishment as quickly as she could, and there was a strange pause.
　Felinella followed, keeping a firm view. This was because she had heard that the Fifth Wizarding Academy had changed its members after the date of the mission was officially set.

　They arrived a little late.
　In a group of four, two of them, a man and a woman, issued a brief apology, "I'm sorry. But the apology seems to be directed more towards the wizards in charge of the security.
　The two attention-grabbing zhangmongers were smiling innocently with a flat apology with a perturbed squad member behind them. They are not apologizing for being late, they are not apologizing for being late, but rather, the girls who are walking as if they were stepping on the front of the line with great enthusiasm, and their astonishment spreads all at once when they see them.

　That's right, a child who is not yet old enough. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
　In the second magic academy, there's a skipping Loki, but even so, his age is one year below his grade and he doesn't look that young. In terms of his childish face, though, he tends to look younger than his age.

　However, the two girls from the last unit to arrive were even younger than Loki.

''Haha, I've seen that expression lined up somewhere, Rhea.
'Yes, sir. I'm not dumb or anything but I'm tired of it. Oh yes Mea, don't mess with me like Cyan told you to.
I know. Both Cian and Leah are anxious so you can't play with them. Besides, you'll be serious, you don't want to get in trouble, right?
It's not enough. It's about getting along.
