Chapter 7 (1/2)
“Is it that tasty?”
As I said that watching the three kids scarf down a simple bread and soup, No 1000 nodded as if she had no tihtly and No 1 said brazenly
“The food is not tasty, we are hungry”
But unlike his attitude he quickly slapped away No 1000’s hands away from his bread
It’s not like I couldn’t understand them It’s probably because it’s been a while since they ate food fit for hu theanization had to offer, they were given a pouch of jerky and ot over altitude sickness, a raft in thethat they were sick and tired of water, they had e prisoners shacked onto their arms and thrown into the middle of the desert
Even then, No 1000’s survival ability was nificent
An appetite that would even let her eat poison mushrooms for the taste
Maybe she has some Poison Immunity MAX that you’d only find in novels, but even if she eats poisonous
I thought for a bit whether it was some type ofher and i at his ency antidote to barely save hiht a lot of fish, but her skills at cooking fish just right with basic ic were particularly praiseworthy
Even No 17 who’s a y occasionally burns hers, but No 1000’s skill where she didn’t burn her fish, not even once, was close to miraculous
Her final actions in particular, in the desert, had even me horrified
Without even a hint of hesitation, as soon as their drinking water ran out, she immediately bottled her own piss in her water canteen!
The other tere horrified at No 1000’s actions, and continued looking for an oasis, but there was no way I’d be that easy on theht them all to a place where I had already deterradually drying out
Especially when No 17, who had held out till the end finally drank her own urine, just when the shame and humiliation started to fade away froather water, as I showed her how to use leather to gatherdew and cacti as a water source, her soulless dead face was absolutely priceless
And roughly twopassed by like that, and noere back at our beloved barracks
After a siive the quite benevolent, I don’t think my disciples appreciate their teacher’s kindness
“Today… Then what’s happening toh their three horrified stares stung a bit, I need to endure
Yes, the heart of a teacher h as the sky and deep as the sea!
“You ”
But their suspicious looks still haven’t disappeared
Ahhh In that case
“Or should we start now?”
“We’re okay!”
“Thanks for the break!”
“I’ll come out when it’s dinnertime”
As I looked at thehed
Why do all my disciples have such little faith in their instructor?
As I walked out pondering this, an excla to my mouth
Look at those dorms! Perfectly restored! Even if it looks like that it’s a specially o, the less risk there is of so
Since the building collapses at least two, three tiht and cheap
Perhaps the only downsides were that the roof blew off during a stor was so?
Well even so, if you ency weather activity training cohborhood where ic is life, the power of mother nature is fearsome even here
You need to overcoh to not die wherever you go
Oh, thinking about it, trapping the plan
Survival where there isn’t the faintest speck of light! Should I try drawing up a plan? I thought as I entered my office
“Oh, Master, welco weird is inside
Mraduated, why is she here?
I opened the door again
“Master! Why did you shut…”
Slaain Yep It’s her It’s co when she’s around
Plus, if it has rabies, it is highly recoet bitten while fighting it’s only your loss
“Master? Master? If the door doesn’t lock froht? Is it alright when your ex-disciple is here and not letting her in… Wait, no, not letting her out?”
This is the proble onto it as hard as I can, but the ht
“Master? Are you listening? Can I think of this as confinement play? To think Master had these kind of preferences…”
She’s bullshi+tting soto break at any , Instructor?”
But salvation ca
“What is the problem, No 1”
“Ah, I caed in the desert”
“Alright then, hold onto this door for a minute”
With a quiet voice, I call No 1 over and have him hold onto the door, and put soh he looked confused, No 1 held on to the door with all his strength, and I turned around and gapped it as fast as I could
Let’s run first
The others are probleht, but that one is particularly troublesome
She’s oddly similar to my previous workplace’s boss, and her crazy bitch personality is also sierous to be bare-handed In that case I should prepare at least the ress to the next stage soon enough anyway, so I rab it early
8 Their story: The future hero’s troubles
My heart that was fired up against No 1000 cooled quickly
After surviving the Eic bombardment that followed shortly afterwards At the very least it was easier to endure If my body was nor at me as I pushed it beyond its limits Most of the others had their mana strained to the limit and were in similar conditions toslowness like nor hand anytime soon
One person, then two people fell
Each person squeezed out their non-existent et out of the line of fire, and when they barely intercepted an attack, so there Sniper!”
We couldn’t understand what theyout for five days under heavy fire, people dropping out wasn’t out of the ordinary
It was a coincidence that we found out what that actually meant
When No 17 abandoned the temporary shelter that was all but obliterated by enemy fire, and was about to head elsewhere
She sent the person that ith her in another direction
To an area that looked like a perfect place to get sniped
“Kuwuk?!”
