I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes - I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes chapter 71
Magic Airship
“Finally leaving tomorrow!”
The teacher shouted excitedly enough that anyone could tell.
The Luthern Island tourist brochure in her hand was tattered after how many had been read.
Of course, the place where the practical evaluation takes place is the Dark Forest on Barern Island.
‘If something happens, all schedules will be canceled… ‘
Then, all the school trips to Luthern Island scheduled after the practical evaluation will be cancelled.
Actually, as far as I remember, after the events on Bearn Island in the original game.
After all, I only stayed one night or so on the island of Luthern.
I calmed her down while conveying my deepest consolation to Master in my heart.
The bell just rang, and the professor will come in soon.
As expected, the classroom door slid open and Professor John entered the class.
“Quiet, quiet!”
It wasn’t just Master who was excited, so Professor John had everyone quiet first.
I started handing out guidebooks to the cadets one by one.
Before long, he begins to give one last note.
The content of this practice evaluation is survival.
In line with that goal, the basic evaluation is determined by how long you can endure in the Dark Forest.
Of course, the longer it lasts, the better it gets.
The cadets, who are new to this kind of evaluation, are all worried about the magic beasts of the Dark Forest.
I know that’s not the problem.
No, of course, the magic beasts of the dark forest are very threatening.
But perhaps what bothers the cadets more than the monsters is the hot and humid environment, pests, hunger, and fatigue.
Of course, it is said that the witch beast will tear the cadets apart, but at least the academy will stop the cadets from dying.
But just because the cadets are hungry, will you help the cadets who are going to practice?
It’s just that the cadets have to give up.
“Cadets who give up the practical evaluation early are awarded points in proportion to the time they endured. For your reference, the cadets who have given up will be heading to Luthern Island to rest before the practical evaluations are all over.”
Professor John says
‘Wow, that’s toxic… ‘
I thought to myself.
Now, whenever the cadets get a little tired during their training, they can imagine themselves resting comfortably on Luthern Island.
Perhaps the cadets who were about to give up just gave up a day or two earlier.
In any case, some of the cadets cannot hide their joy at Professor John’s words.
I glanced around to see their faces.
Most of them were cadets who came to the academy only to get their diplomas.
As I said before, it was almost natural for an imperial noble to graduate from this academy.
However, not all the sons of imperial nobles or the children of wealthy commoners were gifted in battle.
They had a separate party organized by the academy, so they gathered together.
He must have been excited about giving up training early and going to Luthern Island.
On the other hand, those who need to graduate from this academy with good grades.
Commoners who received scholarships through their talents, or those who dream of becoming knights.
Or rather, the sons of nobles aiming to become the head of state seemed to burn their fighting spirit.
‘Well, I’m envious of either.’
While I am pessimistic about my situation and envy them, Professor John continues to explain.
“Everyone, check the back of the guide.”
On the back of the guide, the figure of each beast, and the name and score below it were written.
Simply evaluating the length of time they endured in the Dark Forest cannot accurately determine a cadet’s skill.
Professor John explained that additional points are given according to the type and number of monsters caught during the practical evaluation.
After that, the words continue.
For example, attacking other parties is absolutely prohibited…
In the first place, the Dark Forest itself is a dangerous enough place.
At Professor John’s words, I involuntarily turned to Leo.
Even though I trampled him a little hard during the last duel.
Even taking that into account, he’s been too quiet lately.
I looked at him with suspicious eyes, but what?
The problem now isn’t Leo.
Once inside the lab, Leo can’t help it.
‘No, am I being too suspicious of Leo?’
Looking at his behavior so far, it’s suspicious enough.
Still, during the duel, I was treated like that in front of everyone.
Even the sword was taken away, but now it’s normal to be quiet.
—
next day.
Me and Master left the dorm room a little later than usual.
The reason is that Master had trouble sleeping last night because he was looking forward to it.
me?
Because of Master’s constant conversations, I couldn’t sleep very well either.
Anyway, that’s why I’m a little tired.
We moved towards the main entrance of the academy.
“Huh… You’re a little sleepy.”
Master yawns loudly.
There were already a lot of people at the front door of the academy.
“Here it is!”
Someone from afar is calling us out loud.
When I went to Aine, who was waving her hand, Veronica and Felice were already there.
“Whoa, it’s finally starting!”
“I am very much looking forward to… Is not it?”
Aine also spoke with a look of excitement.
Veronica asks us a little cautiously.
Me and Master nodded at the same time.
In my case, it would be more accurate to call it tension rather than expectation.
In front of me, there were several professors, including Professor John, instructors from the academy, and many teaching assistants.
In case a cadet gets seriously injured during the practice evaluation, a lot of people are needed to prevent an unfortunate incident.
“Okay, has everyone arrived?”
Soon, each class has an instructor one by one to call attendance.
After confirming that all the cadets have gathered, Professor John exclaims.
“All cadets, get into the prepared wagons!”
Of course, you can’t take a carriage to Bearn Island.
we go by plane
Of course, airplane was my name, and the official name was a magical airship.
Until now, I had only been riding in a carriage, but trains and airplanes definitely exist in this world.
In the name of a magic train and a magic airship.
If so, why did I only ride a wagon, because this is not something anyone can ride.
This magic train and magic airship are all artifacts.
It’s too damn big.
In addition, a certain level of mana stones are required to turn these things.
Artifacts are expensive.
Mana stones are also expensive.
More expensive plus more expensive.
So, I am saying that it is something that can never be ridden.
Even wealthy nobles use this magic train when traveling very far.
When going to a distant island like Lutern Island this time, I use the magical airship.
And, considering the academy tuition, it makes sense that the academy transports us in a magical airship.
In the first place, the time taken to go to the port by carriage and then to the boat from there will have a profound effect on the academic course at the academy.
well, as a result.
Going on a school trip by plane reminded me of memories from previous worlds.
Of course, the planes there weren’t so advanced.
On Jeju Island, where they arrived, there were no wild black bears or secret labs of any pseudo-organizations.
After getting off at Lutern Island, Master began to look around with twinkling eyes.
“Louis, that’s… !”
She grabs my hand and tries to run somewhere.
All the cadets had no choice but to board the prepared boat under the guidance of the professors.
“Hey… ”
Master cries.
My heart hurts.
It would be nice if later, after defeating the demon king, I could travel to Lutern Island with Master.
Anyway, the island of Bearn, which was reached by boat, was indeed desolate.
I think it feels more like that because I just saw the splendid Lutern Island.
Although the two islands are fairly close, their appearances are vastly different.
Well, it’s only natural that one side is a famous resort and the other side is the notorious Dark Forest.
But it’s not like there’s nothing at all.
On the shore of Bearn Island, there were a lot of temporary buildings that seemed to have been prepared in advance by the academy.
“Everyone go over there and change into the prepared clothes. Leave all your belongings with the instructor. Again, no personal items are allowed.”
The cadets were divided into men and women and each entered the building.
There we left all our belongings, including our cadet uniforms.
Instead, he wore the academy-provided attire.
‘… It’s a little tight.’
I knew it because I saw it in the game.
The clothes were made of a material that closely adhered to the body.
Probably to prevent hiding something under clothes.
Anyway, thanks to that, after I got out of the building.
The cadets were all blushing little by little.
No, it’s not like it’s an academy outfit, but it’s not obscene.
Anyway, Veronica is not tolerant of such things, she can’t even look at me properly.
Aine and Master also blush.
And the same goes for Felice.
In particular, Felice seemed severe.
Even the things that usually bothered Felice were looking at her with dirty eyes.
It seems that the one who usually torments her is approaching Felice.
Feeling bad, I glared at him and said.
“go away.”
“… Thank you, Louie.”
The moment Felice spoke to me with a red-tinted face.
I can hear Professor John’s voice in front of me.
