At the S-class school building, inside a classroom.
After class during HR, there was a surprising story from Garnet.
ㅤ
“Um, a joint request?”
“That’s right. A joint team of A-Class Summoners and S-Class Summoners will search for, and if possible, subdue the newly suspected 『demon』.”
“A new demon. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Albero looks at Leivinia and Nisrok. However, the two didn’t seem particularly bothered.
ㅤ
“It’s probably something summoned by Demon Emperor-sama. Instead of us and Nisrok, maybe in place of Abel and Hublis. Or perhaps in place of Ogre. . . . . .The Demon God-sama can summon any beast from our world, so probably a powerful one has been called.”
“Hmmm. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Leivinia munches on cookies she bought from the store, while Nisrok lies down sleeping. Their audacity to eat and nap during HR shows that these two lack common sense.
Then, Garnet spoke without any concern.
ㅤ
“Well, that’s about it. Recently, several towns and settlements outside the kingdom’s territory have been devastated. Over a thousand casualties. . . . . .The Asgard Kingdom has been ordered to investigate and subdue the demon.”
“Question! Uh. . . . . .Should students like us be the ones to handle such tasks?”
ㅤ
Ashe’s question is valid.
There are large countries outside the territory of Asgard Kingdom. They should have summoner squads and knights. Some might even be A-Class Summoners, perhaps even on par with S-class.
Garnet shook her head.
ㅤ
“Neighboring countries can’t dispatch their powerful summoners as they’re enhancing their national security. Moreover, this country boasts the strongest twenty-one individuals and has S-Class Summoners who’ve defeated three demons. . . . . .It’s only natural for other countries, unaware that the twenty-one cannot leave this nation, to rely on a country where such strength is concentrated.”
ㅤ
Other nations are unaware that the twenty-one individuals, who once sealed the Demon Emperor, are cursed to never leave Asgard Kingdom.
It’s probably an uncomfortable truth. The twenty-one who sealed the world-feared 『Demon Emperor』 are guarding only the Asgard Kingdom.
Hence, in such situations, they can assertively say, “Asgard Kingdom has the strongest twenty-one. Our country is weak and can barely protect itself. We leave the demon subjugation to you.”
Kid then cracked his neck.
ㅤ
“『Lust』. . . . . .Is there a possibility of encountering it?”
“There might be. From the reports of survivors from the destroyed towns and villages, it seems to be quite good-looking.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Kid’s demeanor changed.
Then, Ridelle raised her hand.
ㅤ
“Um, about the joint request. . . . . . what are the details?”
“. . . . . .Alright, I’ll explain.”
ㅤ
Garnet seemed a bit surprised by Ridelle’s course correction.
Garnet took out a smoking pipe and put it in her mouth. She seemed a bit lonely.
ㅤ
“We also have to guard the academy, so not everyone can go. We’ll form a team of five from the S-class, four from A-class, and three from B-class, making a total of twelve for investigation and subjugation.”
“Um, grandmother. . . . . .Isn’t that a bit too few?”
“There are five from S-class. Isn’t that enough? . . . . . .That’s what I’ve been told. Having too many accomplishments can be problematic.”
ㅤ
Lapis droops her shoulders in disappointment.
Yorha raised her hand, glaring at Garnet as she spoke.
ㅤ
“Who’s chosen?”
“For the S-class, I’m considering Albero as the main candidate, followed by Kid, Ridelle, Ashe, and Lapis.”
“What about me?. . . . . .Oh, I see. Well, then I’ll accompany as a guide. I bet that damn old man said 『Don’t take Yorha』, didn’t he?”
“You’re exactly right.”
“Garnet. I’m going too.”
“. . . . . .If it’s a royal command.”
“Fufu, that’s the idea.”
ㅤ
Garnet isn’t against taking Yorha. It’s just that by the king’s order, Yorha shouldn’t be taken. However, Yorha is also of the royal family. Garnet can’t go against a royal command. The king’s order was overridden by Yorha’s new directive. . . . . .though it was a bit of a stretch.
Albero reluctantly raised his hand.
ㅤ
“Um, about A-class. . . . . .”
“Need an explanation?”
“No, I got it.”
“Fufu, that’s how it is. From the A-class, there’s Esterize, Prince Sanbalt, A-class team leader Oswald, and A-Class Summoner from the academy, Wolve. From the B-class, Rashild, Grits, and Fugil will assist the A-Class Summoner.”
“Eh, Grits? Was he that strong?”
ㅤ
Ashe tilted his head.
Grits is considered an elite among the first batch of students, boasting top grades. He’s said to have the potential to become an A-Class Summoner in the future.
“For now, there’s a joint meeting after school tomorrow. Okay? Don’t start any trouble.”
ㅤ
It’s probably futile, though. Garnet whispered so no one could hear, and finally lit his cigarette.
