31 – Exam Preparation

Test Preparation

Leyla frowns as Rai approaches and casts her soundproofing spell, worrying she may have done something else.

Rai, whom she doesn’t trust at all, sits down next to her and pulls out her bag of cookies from her academy manager’s room. He has something to say, so he must have even cast a soundproofing spell, but he doesn’t say anything, just leisurely eating cookies.

Wanting to know what he was doing, Leila glared at him, who was eating with a happy expression, before opening her mouth.

“If you’re going to say something weird, get out of here. No, just get out of here because it’s annoying.”

“……”

After staring at her openly swearing face for a moment, Rai licks her mouth again. He said when Leila, annoyed at the way she stared at her and chewed her food without speaking, was about to lose her temper.

“Do you know the Green Lizard and the Fallen Knight of Bane?”

“…… A fixer with a child?”

Leyla replies, remembering where she died and the fixers whose activities have been lost.

Although they are solvers who only build up grudges everywhere, they are stupid people who take their children leisurely, but their skills cannot be underestimated.

Because they were known for their outstanding work even before Layla was still commissioned, the empire is wary of them, no matter how much news has been lost.

“Yeah, but not now. Is there a bounty on their empire?”

“…… I don’t know the details, but I don’t know. Their field of activity was not the Empire.”

As she said, the area of activity for the two was the middle east of the continent. He was active between the Kingdom of Callen and the Bell Union, and had nothing to do with the Empire.

Hearing that there is no bounty, Rai nods her head and says.

“I’m here now. To Legandia.”

“What?!”

Layla jumps up in surprise when she hears that there is a famous solver.

Slayers are similar to mercenaries, but very few claim to be solvers. Unlike mercenaries, they move in small groups and what they do is solve everything the customer wants, from simple escort to assassination.

But usually there are dirty things that deserve a fixer. The fact that they were there meant that something was going to happen 100%, and Leila, who was sensitive to the black snake that attacked Emilia or the pervert in panties that made fun of the guards, seemed to run out of her at any moment.

“Sit down, sit down. Keep listening.”

Rai continues, forcing her excited Layla to sit down.

“They’re retired, so they’re settled here.”

“Do you believe that?”

“You have to believe it. My skills have deteriorated. I just came back after a round.”

Layla’s eyebrows go up when Rai says that she has been fighting even though she hasn’t been contacted by the guards. Why does this man never have a quiet day? When he wants to be a little quiet, he’s always up to something.

As Lay pondered whether to run away, the anger creeping up on her face, Layla said in a cold voice.

“How good are your skills now?”

“Hmm… 1/10Th of my prime? The two of us fought against me, but they couldn’t even stand 10. It looks like he seriously injured himself while removing his six fingers.”

“Six fingers were handled by those two?”

Layla looks surprised when new facts are revealed one after another. She thought it was a fact that everyone knew because Selma and Clay said it confidently, but after seeing her reaction, Rai shuts her mouth.

Six fingers spread in a dotted organization across the continent were a public enemy that all countries had trouble with. The criminal organization formed by the six clans was unable to be dealt with because even the Empire could not locate the head.

Even if we tried to deal with the place where there was an organization, there were even countries where we were not doing anything.

The six fingers, which boasted that even the emperor could not catch them, disappeared one day. Not the entire organization has disappeared. There are too many of them across the continent to eradicate them all at once.

However, all six clans, their heads, were slain. It was difficult even for experienced soldiers to cope with the massacre of all men and women, young and old, from their employees to their animals.

The heads of the Six Fingers, who were said to have no identity other than the same clan, were covered in red blood one after another and their identities were revealed. Some were high-ranking nobles, others were priests. Next to the corpse, a number of fingers and their history were all written.

Inspection of the clues written in the blood of the slain corpses revealed that it was really six fingers, and everyone on the continent paid tribute to the hunter who hunted the six fingers.

Even the second finger, the last one left, dedicated all of its property to the country and asked for protection. The kingdom of Saxony, who accepted the request for an astronomical amount, imprisoned him in a fortress in the name of imprisonment and deployed thousands of soldiers.

And soon after, the second finger was slain, and the soldiers guarding him suffered great damage.

According to the testimonies of the survivors, there are many absurd stories such as saying that it was a monster or an army of blood, so the identity of the person who slaughtered the six fingers has not been revealed.

As the Six Fingers disappeared, they merged with each other or were absorbed into other organizations, so it cannot be said that their power has completely disappeared, but at least the organization called Six Fingers, which spanned the continent, has disappeared, and no criminal organization of a similar scale has been found so far. Did not

Since it was such a big incident, the Empire also has a report with details. The diligent Layla had read the reports and had even guessed who possessed terrifying powers.

And when she heard the truth from an unexpected human, Leila, who had been upright, turned into a dazed expression.

She likes her stupid expression, but she thinks she said something, and when Rai notices her, she immediately comes to her senses.

“Were those two really that strong?”

“By the standards of my prime, I didn’t want to fight when the two of us were together. Maybe it’s because we’re a couple, but we get along so well.”

“Are you sure that’s the skill you just said?”

“Yes, I seriously swung it to decapitate it, but I couldn’t stop it. Rather, I was embarrassed and stopped.”

Layla ponders for a moment as she waves her limbs and explains in an appropriate manner.

Ray quietly noticed and waited for her words.

Since her location is all revealed, the place Rai has been to may be investigated by the Empire. Thinking that it would be better for her to be revealed beforehand rather than having her turn out to be a suspicious figure during the investigation, Rai obtained the consent of the two and revealed her information to Layla.

You can’t even lie if you activate the force of slavery anyway.

After a long time, Leila, who has finished her troubles, looks at her Lai with cold eyes.

“Why did you tell me?”

“Because I believe in you.”

“Stop talking bullsh*t and speak plainly.”

“It’s true, there are a lot of people who have appeared, but a combination of a lizard and a fallen knight who are famous for being evil appeared? Of course, I have no choice but to be monitored by the military. That’s why I’m talking to you who can communicate.”

Having seen her Layla for a while, she said she believed she would handle her wisely. She is a bit stubborn, but wise. The emphasis on order and procedures is also emphasized because they are the most efficient, and there was enough brain to change the rules depending on the situation.

Leila, who did not know how to hear that she can talk, she is startled for a moment, then recovers her senses.

“What do you gain by doing that? A helper in the escape?”

“I have no intention of escaping. Feed me, give me a house, all I do is play with the kids, I pay a lot of money and I don’t risk getting fired, so I say, where’s a better place to escape? I’m going to drive a stake here. “

After answering with a shrug, her rai looked straight at her again and said.

“Your generation will cringe, but this is like a romance between swords facing each other. Even if I kill, I kill and don’t let others suffer. That’s why I’m loved by all nations.”

“……”

As he said, it’s a cheesy sound.

However, his sincere eyes are filled with the desire that they will not be disturbed.

If I had been born a little earlier, I would have been able to walk through the same era of war.

As her feelings of regret pass through Layla again, she shakes her head and concentrates on the task ahead of her.

“So you want me to handle that information myself?”

“It’s up to you how to deal with it. It’s all your decision whether to report to the upper level or to keep it to yourself. I’m not involved, I’m just a slave~”

Leyla’s lightness makes her irritated again as the one who has been through her turbulent times kneels on her knees and assumes a surrender posture.

A man who has both skills and personality that he doesn’t want to admit.

He’s doing such a frivolous thing even now he knows what decision he’s going to make. As if making fun of it.

My stomach was boiling, but it was better not to report to the superiors as he wished. He should only be known by himself, Selena, and those who attend.

No matter how much they say their skills have decreased, they are people who have dominated the times. Even if they are rotten, the advantage they have just by existing is great. It’s just that I don’t like how things go according to his words.

Ray laughs as he faces Layla’s ax eye.

“Okay. I’ll take care of it on my own. Could you arrange a meeting with them later?”

“Why-? What’s so urgent-?”

“…… Get rid of that f*cking tone before you publicize it.”

Harsh words come out of her mouth as if she succeeded in pissing her off. Realizing that she couldn’t mess around anymore, Rai shut her mouth and Leyla continued her words.

“I hope to see you soon. I know the story now. Take care of your day job.”

“Yes, what can I do as a slave?.”

“Ha-Are you preparing for the exam?”

It’s almost time for the semester to end. Before entering a break in the middle, academy students have to be evaluated for their efforts, and academy instructors always worry a lot about exams when this time comes.

Since it is a prestigious academy, each test is directly related to the instructor’s evaluation. When it comes to exams, instructors are just as tired as the academy students.

Even though she is doing a lot of work in the military or at the academy, she is busy with work these days.

Among the instructors at the academy, Rai was the only one who met an old friend while hanging out.

“Mana control is going to be a touchdown, and I haven’t thought about tactics yet.”

“Are you really going to play that table game?”

“There is no game that requires mana control as much as this one. The winners of each class should gather together and play the postseason. Isn’t it exciting just to hear it?”

Unable to understand this man’s sensibility, Leila looks at him indifferently.

“Okay, aside from that, what’s the basic tactic?”

“That lecture is so boring.”

Leila was dumbfounded when she saw the instructor saying that the lecture was not interesting. With a sigh, the downcast Lai whined.

“But it’s a lecture that only reads textbooks. More than half of the textbooks are cursing at me.”

Coming to think of it, if he were in his position, he would not like the lecture.

In the age of war, there are dozens of battles between the Kaylon Kingdom and the Empire. In addition, if you add small local battles, it will increase to hundreds.

The empire, which had conducted so much research and invested heavily in the military that it even had its own tactical department, had firm confidence in warfare. And it was Rai himself, the devil of the world, who broke it.

Of course, the battle with him was analyzed and improved countless times in the tactical department. Countless opinions, such as how to attack his tactics, how to follow them, criticize and praise, were exchanged and compiled into a book for future generations.

However, since the book was written from the perspective of the Empire, Rai’s tactics are despicable and are inevitably evaluated as cunning tactics. Some books go so far as to disparage it as a tactic incompatible with human beings.

Especially, there are many such opinions about the tactic of setting fire to die together in Dukan Plain.

There were such absurd tactics that Rai couldn’t read a book with a lot of praise but a lot of criticism.

“If you go into a lecture, you can get excited by talking about how to destroy Elliott’s troops.”

“From the point of view of the empire, it is natural.”

“I see. Yes… You are right.”

A sinister smile spreads from Rai’s mouth as he nodded. Rai smiles brightly at Layla, who is worried about what she will do again.

“The better you tame Elliot, the more points she should get.”

“……”

“Isn’t that what the Empire wants? It must be fun.”

When Rai said he would let Elliot compete in tactics, Leila wondered if her academy students were lucky or bad.
