Chapter 623 (1/2)

I Don't Know

Edited by Phantom0408

Weena Rhyn said she was going to do something and left. To be honest, I was not sure if it was safe to leave her alone, but evacuating the students was also an important task.

Fran then went over to the students, it seemed that they had already made preparations to evacuate. They abandoned the tents and everyone was carrying only food and other supplies.

「Fran-dono, what’s going on?」

It was Inez, one of the combat instructors, who spoke on their behalf.

She was well respected by both teachers and students, and I guess this time she had become the leader of the whole group.

「A huge magic beast appeared in the lake」

「A magic beast?」

「Nn」

Fran’s explanation was met with a puzzled look not only from Inez but also from the other instructors and students.

「Hasn’t the Director dealt with the situation?」

「Yes, she has」

「Eh? Do we still need to evacuate then?」

Aah, I see.

Weena Rhyn was like an absolute existence to the people from the Academy. I guess they couldn’t understand why they still had to evacuate when Weena Rhyn had made a move.

They must have thought that she could defeat the slightly stronger magic beast without causing any damage to the surroundings.

「The magic beast this time was really strong. Even Weena Rhyn said that she was unsure what would happen」

「F-for real…!?」

「Doesn’t that mean, it’s already certain that it is a magic beast with a threat level of A or higher…?」

「Nn, that’s why we need to hurry and evacuate everyone」

「Understood!」

After Fran, the strongest among them explained the situation, they all seemed to understand the severity of the danger.

Weena Rhyn was said to be capable of single-handedly fighting against an entire country, but that Weena Rhyn was unsure if she could handle this great magic beast.

And if Weena Rhyn were to seriously confront the great magic beast, the damage to the surrounding area would be enormous.

「Did she say anything about the route we should take?」

「No. I’ll leave this to Inez」

「Understood」

Then the students of the academy began their march to leave the campsite. Similarly, we could see the line of residents fleeing the town.

It seemed that the information had been passed from the Adventurer’s Guild to the town chief.

The refugees were thinking the same thing, to get as far away from the lake as possible. There were many people crowded together on the road heading east.

We went along the road with the students of the academy. But then I realized something.

『I don’t see Romio and Zelos Reed around』

(…Certainly)

『Are they in the back? Urushi?』

(Woof)

Even Urushi’s nose didn’t seem to be able to tell where Romio and Zelos Reed were. In other words, I guess they were not among these refugees.

『Where did they go?』

「I wonder are they all right」

『Hmm…』

We were actually more worried about Romio than Zelos Reed.

But as Fran started to frown, Charon spoke to her.

「What’s wrong?」
