79 – Monster (1)

From the day after the small happening, large and small events continued one after another.

Things like the unveiling of special magic engineering items by students from the Faculty of Magic from each country, or the friendly sparring of students from the Faculty of Engineering made the eyes of the spectators happy.

World Academy Exchange Meeting.

As befits the festival of students attending the academy, the organizers put their heart and soul into the program.

After such a fruitful day,

The morning of the closing ceremony was bright.

“… … .”

Leon woke up early in the morning.

After making all preparations in advance, he got on the carriage to the academy.

“I released the orcs properly… … The employees were also sent to the home in advance… … .”

“What are you talking about to yourself so hard?”

Like him, a woman riding in a carriage.

His owner, the Lady of Duchess Catherine, who boasts a beautiful appearance today, asked while sitting in the chair across from him.

“I was checking to make sure I didn’t forget anything.”

“You last checked with me yesterday.”

“just wondering. I have to prepare especially thoroughly for this job.”

“I can’t easily imagine what the hell will happen just from hearing about it.”

“It has to be.”

Afterimages of them passed faintly in the red-haired young man’s eyes.

I told Catherine beforehand, but those who haven’t actually experienced monsters don’t know how dangerous they are.

When he was on Earth, monsters were one of the symbols of fear.

No matter how many times I knock them down, there are no answers.

In order to deal with them, countless lives were lost, and precious citizens were sacrificed again.

“Before this day is over, this world will see another face.”

Leon’s eyes sank deeply.

The silver-haired woman carefully stroked the young man’s hands.

“It will be fine.”

“… … I wish I did too.”

The two looked at each other and looked out the window at the same time.

Peaceful daily life with chirping birds.

Even the children who came out to play from early in the morning.

However, this scenery will no longer be visible from tomorrow.

Leon filled his eyes with the peaceful sight of Tarantis, the capital city.

‘Because I can’t let this world perish.’

The shape of a jet-black chain flashed in his sunken eyes.

***

Prüch Academy, located in the imperial capital.

The final event of the World Academy Exchange Conference has finally begun.

Performers from all over the world gave different performances in various places, and nationals and foreigners had a good time watching their performances.

A middle-aged man looking down at the scene.

“Hmm… … .”

Ferdinand, the dean of the Faculty of Knights and renowned as a sword master, spoke out in a deep voice.

“It’s finally today.”

“Iknow, right.”

The young man who answered while sitting on the sofa was Leon.

After briefly warming up in the gymnasium, he came to the dean’s office.

Then sit on the sofa and relax.

The dean of knights opened his mouth while still looking out the window.

“Time flies. I didn’t know that this day would come.”

“Still, I’m glad I prepared for it.”

“If you haven’t prepared… … What a terrible thing that could have been.”

The middle-aged man shook his head as if he didn’t even want to think about it.

As he said, the entire empire was currently covered with soldiers.

I couldn’t prepare perfectly because the given time was only one month, but I was able to arm the soldiers as best I could.

Also, the area around the academy, where many foreign tourists visited, was more strictly guarded.

Because of that, unlike last year’s exchange meeting, the expressions of the tourists were a little awkward, but they also came to know that the empire was in a conflict with the Mado Empire, so they did not show any complaints.

It is not another country, it is an empire.

It is a country that boasts the largest land mass on this continent, and its mighty military power has always been feared.

Also, the fact that there is currently one grandmaster and two talented people close to him is like a situation with wings on the back of a tiger.

However, even if it is an empire, it will be difficult to endure if it receives one point from neighboring countries.

And the empire had no justification for starting a war of conquest.

Because the current emperor wasn’t even a person who preferred war in the first place.

If there was a willingness to start a war of conquest, it was certain that he would have started earlier, whether or not his subjects opposed it.

Therefore, tourists enjoyed the festival without thinking that the soldiers would harm them.

After taking a sip of the black tea Ferdinand made, Leon put the cup down on the table and continued.

“What… … . Still, we did our best. It’s to the point where I can’t prepare anymore.”

“Should I leave the rest to heaven?”

“We must believe in the power of each of us, not the sky. You’re a sword master with hardness, so when else would you like to step out?”

“That’s right. But, is that monster really impossible to kill without mana?”

“Yes.”

Leon still remembers.

That feeling when killing a monster.

The skin of a monster cannot be pierced by ordinary cold weapons, and it is completely impervious to weapons that do not contain magic power.

That is why knights who know how to handle mana were placed between the soldiers.

There was no case of higher rank monsters popping up out of nowhere, and if they did, the lowest rank monsters would pop out at most.

Then, even if several soldiers are holding on to one monster, the knight can handle it somehow.

This was exactly what Leon was aiming for.

To somehow defeat the monsters and leave hope that mankind can do it too.

It was also the driving force that kept humans from giving up in the face of absolute evil such as monsters.

“What are you going to do, sir?”

“I’m thinking of making a route around where the students are. Professors are people who used to be a bit hit-or-miss, so they’ll survive on their own, but it’s going to be difficult for students.”

“I knew you would too. Then I will stand guard against areas with a high concentration of students.”

“Please.”

With that, the conversation between the two ended.

The young man got up from his seat and went out the door of the dean’s office.

Then, we moved towards the main building where the closing ceremony was held.

A feast of the sounds of all kinds of musical instruments resonating in the eardrums.

People dancing under it, or having a good time with acquaintances or lovers.

“… … .”

Leon looked at the scene, then looked up at the sky.

A chillingly blue sky.

It was clear weather without a single cloud, but bad news appears regardless of the weather.

After about two or three hours, when the sun began to set, several notification windows popped up in the middle of the setting sun.

Tring!

[The causal force has made a choice.]

[This planet, which had no name, is given a new name, ‘Croletan’.]

[A new manager is assigned to the planet ‘Kroletan’ by causal force.]

[Time remaining until assignment: 5 minutes]

new manager.

At that point, Leon’s movements stopped.

‘… … Are you assigning a new person in charge?’

This world is a world in a novel, so it is normal when there is no manager, but everything was twisted when she was brought over to this world by the goddess.

A world that shouldn’t have existed originally appeared, humans that shouldn’t have existed, and an invasion of monsters that shouldn’t have existed was planned.

And this universe eventually recognized the world in a book as reality.

They were given a causal power, given a name, and now they decided to assign a superintendent as well.

‘That means… … It is said that the invasion of monsters will happen unconditionally.’

If the person in charge is assigned after 5 minutes, there is no more follow-up after that.

Leon checked the mana of his whole body again.

Vibrant body as usual.

There is nothing wrong with drawing and using magic.

For the fifth minute he looked up at the sky with a terrifyingly hard face.

Tring!

[Damyou: Moirai has been assigned to Planet: Kroletan.]

“What, what?”

“What did you hear?”

“I see something strange in front of my eyes!”

A gray window that appeared not only in Leon’s eyes, but in front of all the inhabitants of this planet.

It was the same as saying that this world, like Earth, must withstand the invasion of monsters.

oh oh oh… … .

The atmosphere began to whirl in pitch black.

Faced with the raging wind, Leon muttered to himself while looking up at the blackened sky.

“……Has it started?”

A sky where nothing existed.

There, a monster summoning portal was being created.

A scene similar to the scene where monsters poured down from the earth.

While calming his tense muscles, the young man drew his sword from his waist.

aaa!

A cry of something that seemed to rip through the air.

The roar that made their hearts throb, the faces of the citizens hardened.

“Hey, look at the sky…!”

“……What is that?”

A group of jet-black light pouring down from the sky.

Covered in a hard outer shell, it is a predator that appears anywhere on the land where there is life.

“Monster.”

Leon murmured quietly as he tightened his grip on the sword.
