Volume 1 Chapter 9 (1/2)
Class B
Several hours were spent riding along the bue
When suddenly, the carriage stopped I oken from my nap by the abrupt stop
A see out before me
”We've arrived This is the location of the expedition, Vakyanarel Forest
Bagiran says this as he gets out of the carriage
Looking in the direction we had co
“The building where we'll be staying is in the forest, so we'll have to proceed on foot fro the other students Because you are the special class, the regular students will be watching you to see how you handle everything”
Bagiran gives us this advice, then proceeds into the forest
We followed after Bagiran
I pay close attention to the surroundings as alk through the forest
Walking through unfamiliar territory like this, it's is
As I was looking around I noticed Bagiran had stopped
“Oh, stop here You all wait here for a bit”
Bagiran who disappeared fro this, defeated an unseen demon in an instant and returned to us
Even though I was searching our surroundings, I didn't notice that demon at all
Bagiran e…
Every so often Bagiran would stop us and take care of any nearby demons
At first, I thought it was a waste that ere not allowed to take care of these dee my mind
Perhaps Bagiran does not want any of the students to knohat kind of demons are in this forest
I was guessing Bagiran wouldn't let us see any deency
In other words, Bagiran wanted all of the students to go into this time trial with as little information as possible
If ht, people in the other classes should not be seeing any of the deround
About an hour or so later, ere standing in the forest in front of a strange man-made structure
I'd guess more than a thousand people could fit inside the wooden building
It's comparable in size to the academy
”Alright, we've arrived This is the building you all will be staying at”
”Uwaa, it's a…”
”So was hidden away in the woods”
”Well, with ht, I'll tell you the plans for the forest expedition Today you'll be broken up, and the first time trial will start tomorrow at 8 am The classes will be separated into two tiroup will leave in the afternoon, so be sure not to be late tomorrow”
Today we'll be broken up?
Well, it is already evening
So, the time attack is tomorrow…hmm? Wait?
”If the classes are divided into two groups, can't people from the same class cooperate with each other?”
I ask Bagiran this question
”In fact, eneral classes do that every year It's actually a fairly couys The general class is already rather hostile to you, so I doubt that any of them would want to help you”
I see, so this is a bit of handicap for us
”Then, can we cooperate with the other advanced class? After all, we're in the same advanced class, so there should be no jealousy It would make sense for us to help one another”
Tsurugi finished speaking
That's right This year is different, there are two groups of students in the advanced class, so we should be able to help each other…
However, Bagiran just shakes his head
”That won't happen The advanced classes are being kept separate”
Really, so that's how it is
Bagiran went on to add
”Anyway, I doubt there would be any cooperation between Class A and Class B, even if that weren't the case”
”Why kero~? Kerokeroro~?”
”I think you'd understand if you met Class B Now then, everyone it's free time…ahem It's free time!!”
Why does he just repeat it even louder……
Bagiran entered the building ahead of everyone else
What shall I do……Maybe meet with the other advanced class?
”I wonder what Bagiran Sensei meant……It sounded rather worrisome”
”Well, the reason why Class B wouldn't want to cooperate, I'm rather curious as to why”
”Kero”
Apparently three people seereement
”Well, let's go look for Class B —”
”Wait a uys there”
It was a strange boy that called out to us
People have been arriving to the building one after another I guess it's someone from the school
