Chapter 20 (1/2)
Request
Bagiran Sensei entered the classroo like usual
”So today, I have a uys! So you can practice!”
I can't help but question him
”Sensei, didn't you say yesterday that we should be h for now?”
”What? Are you angry, Lute?”
”No, I'ry about it in particular…”
”If you ever are angry, be sure to roar like this, 'Uuooooooo!' Okay?”
”What's going on?”
I don't understand it at all
”I see It's so we can gain experience!”
Tsurugi quickly begins taking notes in her notebook
You're indulging your teacher too much!
”So, what is it?”
”Don't feel too worried I don't plan on sending you out on your own I'll be acco you”
My question was conored
Well, if that is true, then it should be fine
Luluna raised her hand to ask Bagiran a question
”Sensei we're not, 'Adventurers' yet Is it okay for us to accept requests?”
What Luluna said is true; we're not qualified adventurers yet
It shouldn't be possible for us to receive a request if we're not qualified
To Luluna's question, Bagiran quietly nodded
”That would normally be the case However, every year the advanced class is allowed to receive one request”
I see this is also one of the advantages of entering this academy
”If you are successful on this request, you will each be rewarded a 'temporary license' With this license, you will be able to accept requests at the guild in town, but these requests are restricted to non-co”
A temporary license
With that, I'd be able toI'd be able to receive money every time I completed a request
I have no choice but to do this request now!
”And what is the request?”
We left the Acadeh the capital city
While alked, I asked Bagiran about the request
”It seems someone lost a memento in the marsh and would like you all to find it”
Bagiran shows me a picture while alk
That's…a ring? I white ring could be seen reflected in the picture
”This ring……is in the marsh?”
”That's basically what has happened There are demons in the marsh, so you need to stay sharp”
That makes sense A ”request” wouldn't be so simple
I could feel the tension rise a little for everyone
This is our first request
This is different fro for someone else
I could feel the pressure weighing down on me as I realized this
”…Well, these deht on the forest expedition If it's you guys, I'm sure you'll be fine”
Looking at us with a serious face, Bagiran added this
”…Sensei, are you trying to motivate us?”
He see close attention to each of us His face is serious
”I'm surprised you all aren't more nervous Normally at this time, the students look much tenser”
To iran shows a look of surprise
”Thanks to Sensei's encouragement, we're much more relaxed”
”Huh, well said”
While carrying on this conversation alked to the location of the request
A little way out of the capital city, there was a marsh
”Froency situations Show me your abilities and handle this request on your own”
Bagiran said this and leaned against a tree
From here on out, we're on our own
I try to observe s in the marsh
The diameter of the marsh is only about 10 meters
There are trees growing here and there around the marsh
The visibility isn't great, but I can still see a little between the dense trees
”This is really going to be a pain”
I say this as I look into the marsh
The water in the marsh was impossible to see into I think it's become more mud than water at this point
Just scooping a se…To be honest it's a little disgusting
