The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World's Aristocrat

The tart was good after surgery.

It's been a few days since then, and yesterday he used Towahard's eyes to hunt me down, even in a mock fight.

Being able to control the speed that I had been able to afford made me stronger all at once.

In my view, even that Neusch can outdo it in melee.

That means he's invincible in his age.

When you get to the classroom and you're chatting with Neusch, the broadcast facility starts.

"One year, S-class. Lug, Neusch, Epona, Claudia, Tart. The above five people should come to the second visiting room within five minutes. This takes precedence over everything '

Take these five?

If it were the four, excluding Epona, it would be about brave support, but if they even called Epona, it would be a separate matter.

"Is that a call from this hour? Sounds pretty urgent."

"I think so, too. I can't believe you skipped class on a student. I only have a bad feeling."

Meet Neusch, who was chatting until just now, with a bitter smile on his face.

I hope it's not a hassle, but this kind of thing can't be a hassle.

◇

When I went to the instructor's office, there was a teacher in charge of class S and a Rin woman wrapped in knightly clothes.

As far as the number of medals adorned with knightly clothes is concerned, they are excellent and seem to be in quite a position.

The instructor urges us to sit down, sees us get to our seats, and then opens his mouth with a pen on one point of the map that is erected on the wall.

"I'm sorry I missed class. Let's communicate the requirements directly to the stand-alone. I ask you to go out in action. [M] About forty kilometers west of here lies a hundred orcs in the village. The village itself is not of much strategic value, but the oak, by its very nature, uses human women for breeding. If we allow them to take their liberty here, a doubling of the oak will strike the city of Lutoria ahead of us. We must avoid that at all costs. Therefore, they ambush and destroy the village in the valley before attacking it. Here's the point. Here, both sides are cliffs and the number of oaks fades."

Mass occurrence of demons? Demon Nation, such a thing could happen as a sign of the Demon King, and I was prepared.

But I've never heard of this magnitude.

The operation itself is very easy to understand and makes sense.

The city of Lutoria is at the heart of the economy around here, can't be dropped, and can't overlook the raid itself in the first place.

Strong defensive walls make it highly defensive, but if we close that city gate, the distribution of supplies and the economy will lag behind and be devastated.

But there are three unnatural points.

I raise my hand slowly.

"Lug Towaharde. Allow to speak"

"Yes. I have three questions. There should have been a fort at the end of the village. Does that mean the orcs broke through the fort almost intact?

"Let's answer. Oak was suddenly born inwards of the fort. And since the strength of the fort corresponds to the status quo, an attack from another demon, we cannot provide backup"

"So here's the second one. We are proud to say that we are comparable in strength to a true knight, but we are students. We have not received the necessary training to conduct military operations in shallow days since enrollment. I'd like to ask you why you entrust this task to us immaturely."

It's not that I'm not sure.

But I want to crush the puzzle as much as possible. It's not a matter of strength, we don't have a basement for organized action on the battlefield.

Using us like that is unusual.

"Let's be good. The reason is lack of manpower. When exterminating demons, a request comes first to the Magic Knights if the aristocracy governing the territory responds and fails to respond. Recently, there have been successive demonic mass outbreaks, and the Knights have paid for all but the personnel needed to defend the King's capital. If you cannot handle it with the Magic Knights, this Knights School will send instructors and students. But both the instructor and the senior students are paying, and you're the only ones I can ask for. You only called the five of you because you were the only ones who could be on duty in the first grade."

She seems to have bought it for me for a long time.

Orc, as far as the literature says, as far as I've never seen the real thing, anything other than magic possesses challenges is tantamount to suicide.

If the knights and their predecessors are paying for it, it must be unconvincing that amateur magic is still better than military trained ordinary people.

"Okay, here's the third one. The opponent is an oak. If we are going to assume the worst, it is better for women not to be accompanied. I was wondering if Tart and Dia should be removed."

"I study a lot that I know the nature of oak. That's one of the chiefs. But I dare say this. You protect it. [M] The size of the herd is enormous and we cannot afford to reduce personnel any more. We should take risks, but we should hit our biggest battle force."

Are you insane? I want to ask.

The oak is characterized by a giant nearly three metres long and the power the giant deserves.

And it's its own ecosystem.

Those are the only species that exist in males, and conceive females of other races.

Extremely, highly reproductive. They continue to interact for more than half a day, and the female is conceived overnight unless there is so much to it, and the child is born in about three days.

... The problem is the child that was born.

As the hidden nature of the oak, a child is born who inherits the strengths of the mother species.

The problem if a village is attacked is that not only will the number of oaks increase, but if humans are mothered, the oak may get the same brains as humans.

Such an oak takes control increases the level of danger.

And what's even worse......

"Tart and Dia, if you two become oak nursery floors, you'll have a hell of a monster"

"Don't make me say the same thing, I understand the risk. And I'm telling you not to."

Orcs that come from talented, magical mothers can be a tremendous threat, more than taking over the strengths of the mother.

... I don't want to take you two to an oak that is more of that nature and turns your beast on you.

"Dear Lug, thank you for your concern. But it's okay. 'Cause I'm not gonna lose."

"Right. Lug's got us working out, and you're gonna protect us from that."

Don't even think about this one.

Dull and intelligent. But Oak's muscle strength, vitality and bottomless health are threats.

Accidents can happen enough.

"Whatever you say, orders are absolute. You will be nobles of this country. [M] Then do your best to this country. … to follow you, I will accompany you from the school, and she from the Knights"

"I'm sorry I'm late to say hello. My name is Rachel Burton. I'm a freshman here. Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Rachel Burton, I've heard that name before.

I am a freshman at this school and a student who graduated chief.

We each say hello to her.

"I was looking forward to hearing that one delicacy showed up many times a decade this year, a hell of a year. I'm excited to see what you're doing."

"We will work to meet expectations."

Stop resisting and reply yes.

Whatever reason you give up, you won't say no.

"With me and Lug, we're invincible, and there's even a brave man there, so it's not the number of orcs."

Neusch says so, but I couldn't hide my anxiety.

I don't put it in my mouth, but there's something more scary than an oak.

Epona outburst.

I fought several times besides the first mock fight.

... Epona is going to make a level attack that would definitely have died if it wasn't for me when it gets hot.

The biggest weakness is that you won't be able to see around quickly.

Even mock warfare. In the fight against the Orc herd, it gets many times hotter than a mock fight, and you can't afford it.

In that case, we don't know what catastrophe will happen in the aftermath of a violent, winding force.

The epona is looking at this one.

"I'll hang in there. Thanks to Lug, I've been feeling confident lately!

So I can push in the word that I'm scared.

... Let's keep Epona more alert than the oak.

"That's it. Departure is in three hours. Pack and equip by then and gather at the Knights carriage in the square. This is a military-led operation and requires uniforms to be worn. Everybody out."

He just turned his back saying he had nothing more to say.

I didn't expect my first military operation to go so fast.

I went out into the hallway and broke up to get ready for each one.

Epona was strained and Neusch was pasting a masked smile.

Speak to the tart and dia left here.

"We both tell them we absolutely need to protect them in order to survive. It's something you can't talk about in front of a teacher or an army person. I'm only gonna say this once, so listen carefully."

Inspired by my serious look, they both nod with a hard look.

"One thing, don't leave me. Stay close to your enemies. Look, in case there's a riot. If you take an oak blow from a blind spot, your consciousness will be pruned, even if it is fortified with magic. Instinctively, those guys make it their top priority to take the females home powerless. Once the hell takes the scalpel away, my buddy builds a wall of meat to cover him. It would be hopeless if it did. I'll keep crushing the blind spot as long as you two are around."

"Ha, yes. I won't leave at all."

"Yeah, I'll be careful, too. I don't want to leave Lug."

"Two, take my orders first. If the instructor's orders or that knight named Rachel, those orders and mine, are not eaten, do not hesitate to follow me."

"I don't even need to be told that. I am the exclusive servant of Master Lug."

That, as a knight of this school, is disqualified, but as my dedicated servant, the answer is full.

"Like a tart, I can't say anything cool, but I'm gonna do that too"

"Last. The biggest danger is Epona. The aftermath of the battle of Epona is several times more dangerous than the oak. Never get distracted... you're gonna die."

As long as the two of us keep these three promises, we can follow them.

With all this said, we'll both be fine.

Still, it seems so understaffed to use us just getting into school.

Are you sure all the upper classmates you can fight are cornered enough to pay for it?

... or maybe everything is a performance experiment of the brave under the pretext.

Whatever you do, let's do everything we can.

Plus, the full power of Epona. I needed an opportunity to see it.
