Ripples of Impending Danger Part 4

Translator : PolterGlast

As the sun rose toward midday, Jihad was looking over the exercise area from the west gate of the city.

The training area was covered with forest, so he could not see the situation directly, but he could not sense any sense of disturbance.

Looking down, he could see teachers busily working at the headquarters.

At a simple clinic next to the headquarters, a team of medics, including Norn Alteina, is treating injured students, but there are no reports of any deaths or serious injuries that require urgent attention.

"There are no problems so far......"

He looked around for a moment and muttered so to himself.

Eventually, Jihad realized that he was unusually nervous, and then let his mouth relax.

Abyss Grief. The appearance of an unidentified demonic beast, which was said to be involved in the great invasion, was on his mind.

(Even though it has already been defeated, it is better that we remain vigilant......)

"Jihad-sensei. Half of today\'s exercise time is over, so I\'ve come to give you the status report."

Interrupting his thoughts, Inda, who was holding a report in one hand, called out to him.

Hearing the words of his confidant from behind his back, Jihad took a deep breath and turned to face her.

"I see...... so how is the situation going?"

"Currently, the number of parties that are still partaking in the exercise is only one-fifth of the total. Also, there are several parties that are able to defeat the special targets."

Inda turned her slanted eyes to the report in her hand and read out the outline. Jihad took the report in her hand and read it over as well.

"I see...... I thought even if they are first-class, their experience won\'t be able to keep up with their abilities and it wouldn\'t be strange if they were defeated ...... but it seems they are growing properly."

A pure compliment. Even though they have the same A rank, there is a clear difference in experience between the teacher and the student. No matter how capable they may be, that difference in experience could not have been easily overturned.

However, there are reports of parties of lower ranks defeating special targets.

That alone is enough to confirm the growth of the students. And among the lower-ranked parties that had defeated the special target, there is one that particularly caught Jihad\'s attention.

"Nozomu Bountis and Mars Dickens, huh......."

Their names sounded familiar. Mars Dickens is a student who was considered to be highly competent but with a bad behavior problem.

The other one, Nozomu Bountis, is the student who encountered Abyss Grief along with Shina Juliel, Kevin Ardinal, and others.

He is the first person to be able to release ability suppression, and his combat ability when released is reported to be capable of overwhelming the Abyss Grief.

"Inda-sensei. Did he release his ability suppression?"

"No, he seems to have defeated Anri-sensei without releasing it. To be honest, I find that hard to believe......"

"I have known Anri-sensei\'s personality since she was a student at this school. She is a person of character who puts her students above everything else, but she would never cut corners......"

Although he seems to be a student who is not well-liked at the school, there are reports coming in that he does not have such a twisted personality.

(I had expected that he would have a certain amount of competence as well. But looking at these results, it seems that he is competent enough not only in individual combat but also in party battles......)

Jihad smiled meaningfully at the student who looked promising for the first time in a long time and shifted his eyes to his assistant in front of him again.

Upon closer look, her eyes were wavering, and a hint of agitation was showing through them in response to this report.

"Inda-sensei, about Nozomu Bountis and his team defeating a special target. Looks like you still can\'t believe it, huh?"

"Y-yes ...... -ah, no ......."

Perhaps she was ashamed of herself for being so shallow and not fully grasping the capabilities of Nozomu Bountis.

She is a competent and strict teacher. Otherwise, she wouldn\'t be a first class homeroom teacher in her late 20\'s. But at the same time, she is also very strict on herself.

"You don\'t have to worry about it. Just a while ago I was also laughing at my own immaturity."

"Ha?"

"Fufu, shall we head back then?"

Inda was taken aback by Jihad\'s words, in which he called himself immature. Seeing her unusual expression, Jihad let out a chuckle and headed back to the headquarters.

(Nozomu Bountis, huh......)ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

A student who was considered a failure since the beginning of the school is getting back on his feet and becoming stronger.

His figure will have an impact on many people. Both to the students and to the teachers.

He could not help but hope that it would be for the better.

At that moment, a strong wind blew.

"......Hmm."

A gust of wind blew through the warm spring weather. Something seemed to be mixed in with it, but that strange discomfort quickly dissolved into the air of the exercise site and was no longer recognizable.

(......I hope there\'s nothing going wrong.)

Like paint falling on clear water, the foreign air spread out in ripples.

A faint sense of uneasiness was rising in Jihad\'s heart.

◆

"Sei~!"

"~ !"

Irisdina\'s jet-black hair fluttered as she unleashed a slash that bounced off the weapon of a male student who was facing her, and a magic bullet fired at close range struck him in the abdomen.

After confirming that the pendant of the fallen male student had turned red, she exhaled and sheathed her rapier.

Around them, six other students were lying on the ground. All of their pendants glowed red, signaling that they had been disqualified.

"......Looks like it\'s over."

"Yeah, it was pretty tough actually ...... Are you guys alright?"

"Y-yes...... somehow ......."

After Tima, who was standing behind her, called out to her, Irisdina approached each of the students she had defeated.

It was just like them to perform a simple recovery spell on those who were injured.

After finishing their treatment, they handed their pendants to Irisdina and returned to the headquarters.

After seeing them off, Irisdina exhaled heavily and looked up at the overgrown trees.

Her expression was somehow tinged with melancholy. Although the sight was quite captivating, especially considering her elegant and refined appearance, Tima, who was looking at her best friend with a sideways glance, sensed Irisdina\'s uneasiness mixed in with her gestures.

"Ai, you\'re still thinking about Nozomu-kun, aren\'t you?"

"...... What are you talking about?"

"I can tell even if you try to hide it. Every time you see Nozomu-kun getting along with Shina-san, you will always be in a bad mood."

Irisdina couldn\'t help but make a sour face in response to her best friend\'s observation.

"No need to worry about me. What about you, Tima?"

"......Yeah. I\'m kind of at a loss to understand what Mars-kun is thinking, too."

Tima and Mars have been training magic together, but lately, he has been training more and more recklessly, and the two have started to drift away from each other.

Whenever he did something reckless, Tima would warn him, but he would say he understood and would not change his ways. The pain in her chest made her let out a small sigh.

"I wonder Why he wants to be so strong ....... Even though there\'s nothing good about being strong......"

"Tima......."

The words that were directed at her made Lisa frown.

"Hee ....... I\'ve been thinking about this for a while now, why do you care so much about Nozomu?"

"You met him, didn\'t you? You talked to him, didn\'t you? What did you say to him?......"

"~......!?"

Lisa\'s eyes widened involuntarily, apparently overwhelmed by Irisdina\'s voice that seemed to stifle anger. Immediately afterward, a vague sense of discomfort surged up from deep within her chest.

What emerged in her mind was the dimly lit forest and the face of Nozomu, who was shedding tears in anger.

(What is this scene?......)

A scene she did not know, his anger she had never seen before. And then, a sorrowful cry that resounded in her ears.

Her breathing becomes shallow. The discomfort that had been rising inside her turned into disgust, and her heart was stirred by a sense of anxiety and foreboding that her footing was about to crumble. In order to shake it off, Lisa raised her voice.

"~, I don\'t know....... Why should I care about that guy now!? Even though he betrayed me, he\'s still talking about things that are convenient for him!"

"What exactly do you expect him to do!"

But Lisa\'s words struck a nerve for Irisdina. The dark-haired girl, revealing the anger she had been suppressing, pushed Lisa forcefully as if slamming her with her fury.

"He was your childhood friend, wasn\'t he!? He was your boyfriend, wasn\'t he!?"

"It has nothing to do with ...... you!"

"It does! He\'s my-......!"

Trying to shake off the discomfort rising inside her, Lisa also swung her twin blades while raising her voice.

The thin blades and rapier clashed again and again, creating a continuous clanging sound in Spasim Forest.

However, a blade of ice intervened between Lisa and Irisdina. The Serpentine Sword, writhing like a snake, lashed out to separate the two, and Irisdina quickly leaped backward to keep her distance.

"Lisa, stand back."

"Ken, but ......"

"Just do it, I\'ll deal with her."

Ignoring Lisa\'s words, Ken pounced toward Irisdina.

"You said too much. Even though you don\'t know anything about it."

"Kuh!"

The Serpentine Sword lunged at her abdomen, slithering like a serpent.

Irisdina repelled the approaching blade of ice with her rapier, which she swiped horizontally, and fired a magic bullet as a counterattack.

"As expected of the top overall student of our school year. But that\'s all there is to it. You can\'t even compare to me, the chosen one!"

However, her magic bullet dissolved in mid-air and fizzled out.

(What was that? It\'s as if my magic power dissipated on its own......)

"I won\'t give you time to think!"

"Kuh!"

Ken\'s Serpentine Sword closed in again on Irisdina, who was in a state of shock.

"Ai!"

Just before Ken\'s blade reached Irisdina, Tima\'s magic was activated.

A huge mass of flames exploded between them, covering the area with a shockwave and flames.
