Stabilizing the domestic situation has always been an urgent task.
　Even after the appearance of the demons, there has been no dramatic change in this state of affairs, or more specifically, even now that the benefits of Babel have disappeared.

　Just as we forget the heat in the throat, humans are creatures that tend to forget.
　I can't help but think that we are creatures that tend to forget, just as we tend to forget the heat when we pass the throat. We are too adaptable. We are too adaptable, too insensitive.

　If even one country falls to the demons, will they feel a sense of crisis?
　No, it would only lead to more work for the military and heads of state if that happened. You don't have to think about it to know that crime will only be rampant. History speaks for itself.

　Ars, who got the classroom wrong, was able to get into the lecture he was supposed to attend just in time.
　Being late for an idle talk, a mistake like that of a student is unacceptable.
　If you are late because of such a thing, you will probably turn back the way you came.

　The day is near when all the credits required for advancement are waived and he will succumb in the name of singleness.
　The one who stood at the podium was a greasy, glossy female teacher in her late twenties to mid-thirties, to put it in her father's way. She was a cool beauty with a tight suit and slightly hanging eyes.
　Her long black hair was tied up in a single bun, hanging down from her shoulders in front of her.

　She was lecturing in a crisp and clear voice.

''Al, there's something about the lecture...''
Oh, there he is.

　They sat at the far end of the desk - the farthest point from the faculty - and looked down a bit at the lecture.
　With his cheekbones in place, Ars was impressed, but this is where he got the takeaway that he hadn't gotten while on his way to school.

'You've become more specialized. Previously, the lectures were designed to give students a broad and shallow knowledge, for better or worse, but this has turned into a more practical talk.''
Yes, and the content of the lecture gives a sense of practical experience. As I recall, this lecture was supposed to be about the relationship between magic theory and demons.

　Despite the fact that the courses were automatically selected, Loki has apparently prepped that area well.
　It's good to see that he's diligent.

　Even if you only study theory, many of the lectures are useless in the real world, which is one of the characteristics of this school. After that, there were lectures that taught real-world content even though they had no practical experience, and from the point of view of a magician on the field, they were all about things that seemed to be right and not right.
　The point is that while the theory is correct, once you are out in the world, most of what is taught in the textbooks is useless. It was all useless, like a picture of "theoretical thinking".
　It's a common story.

　That's right.

It's just as well that I was automatically registered for the course, so I didn't have to deal with Fia and Alice.
I'm afraid so.

　Perhaps it was an ingenious way to avoid being found by the teacher, Loki replied as he looked forward and pretended to take notes.
　If you are good friends with each other, you can take the courses that you have indicated to each other - as long as they are not over capacity.

　The two of them talk about such useless things that have nothing to do with the class. It seems that it was only a matter of time before the faculty found out that the two hadn't been students for very long.

''Well, it's fortunate that we have students here who have plenty of real-world experience. I know there's a lot I can't tell you, but we'd love to hear your stories from the field.

　Eyes that seemed to be smiling, but not smiling at all, turned to Ars and Loki at the tail end of the line.
　As long as we are participating as students, it's only natural for the world to be concerned about insincerity being a severe reprimand. And it's the rule.
　So no matter how many single-digit (single) magicians Arus is, he is a mere student in this academy, and his opponent is the academy's faculty. The hierarchy is obvious.
　Her anger is understandable, even if she won't be staying on.

　As soon as the female instructor checked Ars's twitching cheeks, she quickly folded up.

''The general task of defeating the defensive line in the Alpha Army is often organized in groups of three to five people. This is because this is the number of people who can fill their roles in coordinated action, so to speak. Of course, this principle is not so different for companies and battalions, either.

　Both Ars and Loki nodded back silently at the pressure of words that would make the second phrase impossible to follow.
　The two who haven't even brought their textbooks with them will no longer be allowed to make a proper rebuttal.
　The female teacher continued again, ignoring the students' turmoil - their discomfort at the bullish attitude towards the single mage - and wielded her teaching skills proudly.

It's just that the number of people who will be fighting against demons is considered to be appropriate. So how will the role of the troops, and their troops, change in the context of the increasingly active movement towards the external invasion these days?

　Please answer, the female teacher concluded nicely.
　It was a similar scene in first year, Ars thought, but now she was only asking the unserious students questions because of their studies.
　However, the content they are doing is much higher than the first year.
　Most importantly, it's difficult to say whether the purpose of the role and collaboration will change significantly in a unit that aims to invade the outside world. At any rate, in some cases, they have pulled out their own troops like Letty did, and before long, they have become a large group, so the rules, or even the rules are dubious, let alone the rules.

　Changing roles in cooperation.........

　Thinking that far, Ars was impressed with the fact that he could understand. Yes, as the meaning of the white feather in his hand.

(The point is, it's a question with no right answer. Whatever the answer is, it's just one example. No, wait, if you're talking about an answer, I feel like the closest answer is the one that is aimed at the students of the academy. Cooperation when advancing with inexperienced students and inexperienced magicians. (Coordination for the purpose of hunting them down, rather than being defensive?

　After thinking that far, Ars opened his mouth slightly and let out a small, "Ah," in a toned-down voice.
　Because it felt like a riddle, not a difficult question, but a riddle.
　Not a problem, but a question.
　Not a mean one, but an interest.

　If I answered, I would feel like I was doing what they wanted me to do.
　But, it is Loki who raised his hand recklessly, perhaps because he took Ars's momentary pause as being stuck for words.

''Yes, I'll take your place.''
Yes, that's all right, Loki. Please tell us.

　Yes," Loki said after a beat, and spun out the words as if reflecting on his own experience.

''Although there are differences depending on the order of the troop members, the decision in defeating them is left up to the captain. Each squad has its own guideline for the rate at which they can be defeated, but in the event of an engagement, the offensive mages who can be defeated will be the main force. The other members of the team will be supported or those who have the advantage in the demon's lineage will join them. Also, the early detection of the demon nucleus by detection mages will play an important role.

　Loki, who spoke that much, was at a loss for words, as if he had indeed become trapped.
　Yes, the list is endless. It's good to list them above all, but all of them are to the extent that they can be covered by the situation.
　The content of the training taught in the military, can we say that it's just like the template?

　Beside me, Ars offers Loki a helping hand. Thanks to her putting her mouth out, he found the answer.

　The female teacher's satisfied face is probably not because she heard Loki's answer. That was an encouraging smile directed at the student who had the courage to speak up.

　If you want an answer to a question that has no answer, then you have to change your premise.

　Ars poked a finger at Loki's waist.
　In the broadest sense of the word, there is no major change in defense or attack. There are minor differences, though, such as not having to defeat them, or just fighting them off.
　If the restriction of the role of the troop members presented by the female instructor is hanging over you........

'Loki, your premise is wrong.'
..........?

　He finally realized, or rather, Loki's momentary surprise showed the poor character of the female teacher to draw such an answer out of him.

　Loki lowers the tone of his voice a notch.

The most important task of the troopers is to keep the highest-ranking mage in the squad from being eaten by the demons. Therefore, the troopers will risk their lives to buy time. They will give priority to protect the highest-ranking mages. As for the means, don't be shy about saying it, it's about being eaten instead.

　Yes, the premise is when the demon is defeated.
　That's when a clear, unshakable role arises for the troopers. A nasty riddle mixed with extraneous information.

　For a moment, the classroom was in an uproar.
　It's a sign of a lack of understanding of the magician, however, the female teacher neatly says, "Thank you, Loki-san," and urges the students to be seated.

　It was a second year, and as expected, the content of the lecture was similar to military training.
　Perhaps it was because the babel had been removed, but where was the empty theory on the table? Where has the idealism of pacifism gone?
