I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Rabbit Hunt

Originally, why did she fall asleep while standing vigil in front of the party members?

I was thinking of going through that for sure.

Even though the academy has designated a safe area.

The place you must never be vigilant about is right here, the Dark Forest.

In fact, the sand ghost that appeared last night was also a level of beast we never expected.

So, what Felice did was definitely a serious mistake.

I thought I’d check it out for sure because it shouldn’t happen again.

The problem was her condition I checked last night.

Because it wasn’t normal for anyone to see.

If it’s just a practical evaluation, I have an important mission ahead of Sally’s rescue.

It’s something you shouldn’t do or go out of your mind mentally.

As I approach her, Felice is startled.

“… Are you all right?”

“Yes… Thanks to you, I’m fine, Louis.”

Felice asks without making eye contact with me.

“Are you all right?”

“yes.”

There were no injuries anywhere.

In the first place, yesterday’s goal was not to catch him, but to run away.

After that, we were silent for a long time.

In my case, I was at a loss as to what to say first.

What was Felice thinking?

Finally, when I tried to open my mouth.

Felice’s side came out first.

“Louis, thank you very much for yesterday. Whenever I do something wrong, it seems like you solve it… ”

She says in a voice tinged with self-doubt.

I didn’t mean to deny it.

Same with the last gargoyle attack.

This time, as well as the fact that she fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Even thinking about it again makes me feel angry, so my voice may have become a little sharper.

“Tell me if you can’t stay overnight. Rather than falling asleep in the middle… ”

“Oh, no!”

It would be best if two people take turns standing on the watch, but the problem is that there aren’t enough people.

So, one person at a time takes turns.

It is better to take it out from the beginning than to fall asleep in the middle of saying that it will be a non-visit time.

Actually, the words I just said were intentional because I was annoyed with Felice.

I mean, the truth was a little bit mixed.

And, Felice vehemently refused.

“I will never let this happen again! Please, please don’t… ”

She was so eager to even plead with me, so I nodded a bit tired.

“Ah Okay.”

As I said before, if you have a conscience, you will never fall asleep again.

“And you, the weapon… ”

I blurted out my horse’s tail.

What to do, I don’t know either.

Felice’s sword, yesterday I threw it into the sand ghost’s body and drove it into it.

Thanks to that, Felice is now without weapons.

Fortunately, the rest of the luggage and my black master took care of it.

Anyway, the weapon that Master and Aine were given was a dagger.

Veronica was a cane.

In Master’s case, he handled quite a bit of other weapons besides daggers.

I chose it because I was most familiar with the dagger.

So, in our party, the only people who used long swords were me and Felice.

Damn, if I had known this would happen, I would have said I would use two swords and would get two.

‘Shall I go… ?’

Felice tells me to think deeply.

“I learned how to fight, so even if I don’t have a weapon, I can fight.”

“No, now I have to deal with demons, not people?”

“ah.”

That’s what I said, but in the lab of the Black Mage Tower, we have to fight against each other.

I still need a sword…

It’s impossible to find a sword-like weapon in the Dark Forest.

Attacking other cadets is forbidden, so you can’t steal them.

Honestly, if it’s Leo’s sword, I think I can take it without any remorse.

“For now, let’s go back and write this with you and me.”

“Thank you.”

Felice lowered his head again.

Since I was the one who blew her sword away in the first place, there seems to be no reason for her to say thank you.

“And, Louis… ”

“yes?”

“… not.”

It’s like this again.

After Professor John put her in the party.

Whenever there was a party, she seemed to want to say something to me.

Roughly predictable.

An apology, and maybe an excuse.

Because at the funeral he was going to tell me something.

And whether Felice also has a conscience, although lately, she has been hesitant and not saying anything.

Maybe I’ll get even more angry now if she brazenly apologizes and makes excuses.

It seems that this state is just the right distance for the two of us.

After all, if the practical evaluation is over, there’s no need to get involved with Felice any more.

—

Quang!

It sounds ominous.

After the dust has subsided, we are rabbits.

No, I could see it was a rabbit.

Felice’s black rabbit was completely smashed, and only the remains of it stained the surroundings red.

“Um, I can’t eat that.”

After muttering like that, I shouted to Felice with a frustrated heart.

“No, why do you use mana to catch rabbits! Does that look like a beast to your eyes, bastard!”

“Hey! Mi, I’m sorry?”

“If you’re sorry, don’t do anything sorry!”

“No, that… It’s frustrating because I can’t catch him so I don’t know… ”

Felice muffled her words in a terrified voice.

Well, maybe it’s not the dark forest for nothing.

Even an ordinary rabbit, not a beast, was filthy and nimble.

Quang!

The sound is heard again.

I turned my head in the direction of the roar.

There is also a rabbit.

No, only ashes of what used to be a rabbit were flying around.

“hey!”

I shouted at Veronica.

“In moderation, in moderation! Why do you want me to bake in advance?”

“That, that… It’s rather difficult for a brilliant wizard like me to intentionally lower the firepower!”

“Honey!”

“Really! Well then, would you catch it!”

It was Veronica who had been quiet recently.

Maybe she was annoyed by these damn rabbits, too, but her old personality comes out after a long time.

“Come on, let me show you. Felice, sword.”

“we are here… ”

Felice hands me the sword.

The rabbits in the Dark Forest were so quick that I seriously doubted that they were beasts.

I have the footwork that I learned from my master and the swordsmanship that I learned from Leonhard.

And I can confidently say that I practiced using both of them during battles with great confidence.

Raise your sword, take a pose.

It doesn’t even make a sound of breathing and looks around for signs.

And, the moment.

‘There!’

My eyes flashed, and I was shot forward in an instant.

As I approached the rabbit in the blink of an eye with Master’s footwork, I quickly lowered my sword in a diagonal line.

And, this is the result.

“Come on, look!”

I put down what was the rabbit in front of them.

“Oh oh… ”

But for some reason, their expressions are a bit strange.

“Louis, this is… ”

Veronica tilts her head.

“Oh, you can eat it!”

A little stabbed, I raised my voice.

Because the rabbit I caught was cut in half at an angle.

The lower part of them was a bit crushed, so I wasn’t sure if I could eat it.

It looked like blood and intestines were flowing bizarrely.

Anyway, I got it to eat.

“That’s right.”

Felice nodded her head.

“I can eat it.”

Veronica too.

while we are doing it

Aine was in an ambush on a tree a short distance away.

“uh? Shh.”

Holding the rabbit I had caught and moving toward Aine, I stopped and put my finger on my mouth.

Felice and Veronica also stop following me.

Because there was a rabbit grazing under the tree Aine had climbed earlier.

In an instant, Aine jumps off the tree.

It was agile enough to think that it could not be avoided.

The rabbit heard the rustling of the leaves and ran away first.

However, right after Aine also jumped off the tree, she immediately followed the rabbit…

“oh.”

Woodang!

With that sound, Aine, who was trying to chase after the rabbit, tripped and fell.

We went to Aine.

“Are you okay?”

“… Did you see it?”

“yes.”

“aah!”

Aine’s face turns red.

That moment.

“Did you catch a lot of them?”

I heard the master’s voice.

We all looked down on the floor.

Fortunately, I carefully held out the rabbit in two pieces.

“Well, don’t worry.”

Master threw five rabbits in front of us.

“Each person can eat one.”

We all looked at Master with respectful eyes.

“You really are the best.”

—

In the forest, the whole environment was unpleasant.

It was not that there was no food, but it was cumbersome to find it.

The weather was hot and humid, and there were insects.

Drinking water was not easy to find.

True to the name of the dark forest, thick trees covered the sky and the surroundings were not bright even in the middle of the day.

There, even the demonic beasts that lurk around the bushes and attack us.

As it was an area designated by the academy, there were no dangerous beasts except for the sand ghost on the first day.

The little monsters that kept popping out annoyingly made it hard for us.

In the meantime, the one who helped us the most was Master.

In particular, Master has lived in the Academy Forest for over ten years, so it may be a little familiar here.

Anyway, thanks to that, Master was originally a little awkward with the other party members.

As we progressed through the practical evaluation, we got closer and closer.

Of course, apart from other party members being pleased with Master.

Except for Aine, Master did not like Felice or Veronica, who expelled me from the party.

After seeing what they did to me, I still talked to them.

This is because Master’s personality was not the type to easily hate or hate someone.

Basically, he had a good personality.

Anyway, today as Master scouted the surroundings, we were moving forward.

In the meantime, Master runs towards me with an excited expression.
