𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟖.𝟏: 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐎𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬
It’s been a while since I came to another world.
The training for the true equipment has progressed quite a bit, and some of my classmates have finally mastered the true equipment.
By the way, those few are people like Shindou, Maki, and Ken, who are top in various ways, and several others.
Me?
I can’t even get the first letter of true equipment out!
Damn it!
ㅤ
Still, I don’t give up, and today, as always, I meditate as part of my true equipment training.
True equipment is a weapon of romance that brings out your true power, so to master it, it’s important to concentrate and face yourself like this.
But when I see the guys who have already become true equipment users training enthusiastically, my concentration breaks due to extreme jealousy.
Moreover, the representative bully, Goda, and the delinquent group led by him, are all stirring things up with all their might!
How can I concentrate!
But if I don’t concentrate, every time, I get a merciless “scolding” from Instructor Carpaccio.
Training is tough.
ㅤ
By the way, why can even delinquents use true equipment, but I can’t?
Moreover, they seem to have developed a sense of chosen people because they have awakened to true equipment in addition to their cheat skills, and they have started to bully us who don’t have cheats.
I wonder if Honjo-san felt this way when she was constantly bothered by Goda.
Well, fortunately, Shindou, the strongest in the class, is on the side of the weak, and Ivy-san, Instructor Carpaccio, and Sorachan-sensei are all protecting us with all their might, so there hasn’t been any serious bullying yet.
But that might just be a matter of time.
I have a feeling that the delinquent group, who are getting carried away, will start a riot sooner or later.
ㅤ
While I was training with a little (well, not a little) anxiety,
Suddenly, the inside of the castle became noisy.
The knights are all in a tizzy.
ㅤ
“Enemy attack! A ridiculously fast thief has invaded!”
“Eh?!”
“No, wait! That’s not an enemy, it’s an ally!”
“Which one?!”
ㅤ
Voices like that, which I’m not sure if they’re disturbing or not, echo throughout the castle, and my non-combatant classmates look anxious.
I was scared too.
If the enemy was attacking, I think I would die easily because I’m still a small fry.
I haven’t leveled up yet either.
But Instructor Carpaccio is here in this training ground, and I’m sure he will protect us!
Teacher, please!
ㅤ
But it seems my anxiety was unfounded, as the commotion in the castle gradually subsided.
But instead,
ㅤ
“Ivy-sama, Randolph-sama, His Majesty is calling for you. Please come to the audience room immediately.”
“Hmm. It seems to be related to the commotion earlier.”
“Sorry. I have to leave because of that. Carpaccio, I’m counting on you to take care of the heroes.”
“Yes! Leave it to me!”
ㅤ
Led by a knight who seemed to be a messenger, Ivy-san and Grandpa Randolph, the head court magician and magic teacher, went to the king.
The rest of us were left to be educated by Instructor Carpaccio.
Well, it’s business as usual.
For me, at least.
Even though I say that, it’s just that those three usually take the lead in teaching, but there are several other instructors as well.

Afterwards, there was an event where Goda, who got carried away, challenged Instructor Carpaccio to a match and was thoroughly beaten with bare hands, which was quite refreshing to see.
Other than that, training was conducted as usual, and my true equipment didn’t show up today either, which was disappointing. When it was time to end the training, Ivy and Grandpa Randolph returned with serious looks on their faces.
Well, they might be trying to hide their serious faces out of consideration for us.
However, they can’t fool my eyes, as I am a professional at observing people.
But if they’re making such faces, has something dangerous happened?
ㅤ
As I was being tormented by a bad premonition, Grandpa Randolph started talking in a seemingly relaxed voice.
ㅤ
“Attention everyone! It seems that a troublesome monster has appeared in a village far away.
I will lead the army to subdue it.
Also, I plan to include Carpaccio in the subjugation team.
Therefore, we won’t be able to guide you for a while.
It might be lonely, but please bear with it.”
ㅤ
That’s what Grandpa Randolph said.
But looking at his serious face, could it be that the monster is a big deal?
However, Grandpa Randolph is trying not to worry us.
There’s no point in me stirring up anxiety here.
I’ll keep quiet.
ㅤ
“Don’t let your guard down just because we’re not here.
Especially Ayaka.
It’s okay to flirt with your boyfriend, but don’t fall into decadence by flirting too much.”
“I won’t do such a thing!”
ㅤ
Oh, Maki is being teased.
But there’s a big misunderstanding between these two.
Maki likes Shindou, but Grandpa Randolph thinks that Ken cares about Maki on every occasion is her boyfriend.
That misunderstanding has not been corrected to this day.
Well, from the perspective of Ken that is in love with Maki, he probably wants that misunderstanding to be true.
ㅤ
“So, we’re going to start preparing for the sortie right away, so this is where we part ways with you.
Ivy, I’m leaving them to you.”
“. . .Yes. Leave it to me.”
ㅤ
For a moment, Ivy’s face twisted with worry.
Ah, this might be a serious situation after all.
ㅤ
The next day, it seems that the subjugation team, including Grandpa Randolph and Instructor Carpaccio, quietly departed from the castle.
. . .I wonder if Instructor Carpaccio is okay.
I thought of the face of the hot-blooded, muscular instructor with whom I have the deepest relationship, and prayed for his safe return.
