The Status Window Disappeared

The most common job in the academy (2)

Fortunately, the dean heard the name Black Flag and asked, ‘What is it?’ There was only a slight reaction.

Of course, she’s a worn-out politician, so you can’t be relieved, but it’s clear that she’s not deeply involved with them.

After rummaging for a while, she finally remembers their names.

“It’s a black flag… I don’t think I’ve heard of it anywhere.”

Although Chris spread information about the Black Flag in the Kingdom of Benicia, he lacked credibility because he was a passing mercenary.

But there was no need to be too disappointed.

The kingdom of Milta, who believed his words, was strange, but originally this was normal.

He was satisfied with just announcing the name Black Flag, and continued his simple explanation.

“The black flags are related to the disappearance of the status window.”

“okay? What did they steal from the Demon King… … .”

“I don’t know that either. But the master is not one to let a thief steal something, big or small.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I can’t remember anything right now though. I will investigate this matter and let you know.”

The dean unexpectedly nodded his head, promising good cooperation.

Chris believed her words to find them.

However, I don’t know if I will try to share the results with this side.

‘Still, there are suspicious people hiding in their territory, so they’ll try to find them.’

“Then are you leaving my academy now?”

“If I leave now, I will die. As long as he finds out about the master’s existence, the dean won’t be safe either.”

“Sounds funny.”

The dean snorted, but couldn’t completely deny Chris’ words.

After a brief agony, she finished her thoughts and said to him as if threatening.

“good. For now, I’ll give you permission to stay at the academy. Instead, if something happens to Rosefeld or the other students, know that you will be the first to die.”

“I had no intention of touching it.”

“Then I will now cast the oath spell. If there’s a Black Flag member among the students, I’ll let you touch him.”

It seemed like he would kill him any moment if he refused, so Chris could only nod his head calmly.

The dean is a very powerful mage, so her spells cannot be easily dealt with.

In addition, if it was a spell cast with mutual consent, it would be difficult even with the help of someone as skilled as Elgar.

He read the contract carefully and proceeded to swear at her prompting.

The dean, who regained his composure only after a series of courses were completed, spoke to Chris in a patronizing way.

“Should I tell you what will happen if you break your oath?”

“It must be terrible, what. I don’t intend to break it anyway, so it’s okay.”

Chris left the dean’s room and sank into the darkness.

Although his existence was exposed, he was still able to attract the dean by selling Elgar’s name.

Her quest for the Black Flag would be greatly improved if she stepped forward.

The dean is the owner of this academy, so his authority and ability are incomparable to Chris’s.

Chris smiled lightly, feeling as if he had handed over a troublesome homework assignment to the professor.

Now we just have to wait for her to find them.

The next day, he took a morning class with Illesis, who seemed a little relieved.

This class was a horseback riding belonging to a special lecture, but at Seidran Royal, such practical subjects were often put into special lectures.

At the horseback riding course prepared within the academy grounds, well-maintained course horses stood side by side to welcome students.

After listening to the instructor’s explanation, the students picked the horses lined up one by one and scattered them here and there.

Elesis, who had never owned a horse since she was born, managed to get on top of a horse with Chris’ help.

What the students were given was a small but strong courser, a breed that was traded expensively because of its handsome, docile personality and endurance.

These guys were popular as gifts for young nobles.

Chris, who had heard the price of horses somewhere, stuck his tongue out.

If you sell all the horses in this riding arena, you will get a box of gold.

Still, it was worth pouring a lot of money into, so even beginners like Illesis could easily get on it.

The instructor from the Military Faculty looked around and spoke to the students.

“Horse riding should be proficient for any student of the Royal Seidran. If you don’t get the hang of it today, you’ll have a hard time during the field trip!”

“Ah, are you going to do field training soon?”

The teachers and the dean of this academy really disliked desk clinging.

Of course, the goal of establishing Seidran Royal Academy is to nurture high-quality human resources capable of practical work.

For this reason, the academy used to conduct field training every quarter for students.

An upcoming field trip will require all students to ride horses to the practice site.

Because of this, Illesis, who was not used to horseback riding, felt as if a fire had fallen on her instep.

Now that she’s relaxed, she lets go of Chris’ hand and takes the reins and moves slowly.

Chris watches her like that, and at once climbs on top of the horse and keeps pace.

Even though it’s the body of a teenage boy, Raiden, it’s not a ghost horse that’s strong enough, and a little horse like this is a piece of cake.

Illesis, who had been swaying uneasily on the horse, found it difficult to balance and began to drive the horse slowly.

As Chris stood beside her and gave her posture and tricks, she asked Chris.

“Raiden, where are you going for the field trip?”

Even for field trips, not all students go to the same place.

Not only the location, but also the types of training are very diverse, such as simple agriculture or magic tool making, as well as experiencing life as an adventurer.

Chris answered Illesis’ question without hesitating for long.

“I’m going to go to the adventurer side.”

“huh? Wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous?”

“It still has the highest points.”

How dangerous would the field training in Seidran, where most of the students came from aristocrats, be dangerous?

Even if you experience life as an adventurer, Bonama and escorts will be overcrowded.

When Chris said that, Elesis nodded as well.

He looked at her like that and asked in a slightly stupid mood.

“So, where are you going?”

“huh? Yes, Raiden, I will go with you.”

“Oh yeah.”

Chris tilted his head at the strange answer, but soon understood.

For Illesis, the strong top candidate for this student class, there would be no need to hesitate because the distribution points were high.

Chris is walking around the riding arena with Elesis.

Rosefeld, holding the reins, approached him and greeted him politely.

She hadn’t even gotten on her horse yet.

“Raiden-sama, did you go home last night?”

“hello.”

Chris quickly dismounted and greeted her.

It was a great disrespect to receive greetings from royalty or nobles on horseback.

Illesis, who was trying to follow him, stumbled and stumbled, but managed to land safely on the ground.

Rosefeld greeted Illesis with a smile, then held out the reins to Chris and asked for help.

Even though there is a separate instructor, the atmosphere of the class was very free because if you are a proper aristocratic child, you learn horseback riding at an early age.

Chris mounted her on a horse and taught her the art of horseback riding, with the other students staring at her.

Even though she inherited royal blood, since she was a woman, she would have rode a carriage rather than a horse.

Rosefeld, who struggled to get on the horse with his help, settled down as if lying on the horse’s back.

As Chris climbs on top of his horse to help her, the good-natured courser slowly moves away.

Seeing him holding the reins, Rosefeld covered his mouth in admiration.

“As expected, he’s a high-sword person, so he’s really good at it.”

“No, what… … .”

Chris, who was actually teaching the two women, was on the edge of fear that the fact that he had learned horseback riding at a young age would be exposed.

As much as he worked as a cavalryman on the battlefield, he was confident in riding a horse, but even so, it was a mercenary’s skill, so it was not good.

Even a high-ranking aristocrat’s equestrian skill fatally lacks elegance.

Fortunately, the instructor for this class didn’t touch Chris’ posture too much.

I don’t think I’ll fall off the horse if I leave it alone, so it feels like it’s okay?

For an academy instructor, they are very practical-minded people.

As time passed and they got used to riding, the students began to gather and chat.

The number one topic in the riding arena was definitely the story of the field practice.

The second exam wasn’t too far away, but it seems like he’s more focused on the field practice because he’s young.

Boys and girls who are in the middle of playing are bound to feel stuffy because they are confined to the academy.

As if Rosefeld was no exception, he quietly asked Chris about it.

“By the way, where are you going to go for field training, Raiden-nim?”

“We’ll only know when the exact candidates come out, but I think we’ll go for the adventurer with the highest score.”

“The practice with the highest score this time is said to be bandit extermination… … .”

As expected, he is a relative of the dean and a member of the royal family, so he has extraordinary intelligence.

Chris frowned as he reviewed her information.

This isn’t any kind of game world, and there’s no way bandits can be regenerated whenever they’re needed.

And in his experience, bandits of a size suitable for adventurers were not easy opponents.

If it was a moderate bandit, the surrounding lords would take care of it before the adventurers stepped forward.

‘It looks like some nasty guys are coming out around here, and they’re trying to eradicate them on a national level. The students will come to watch from the safety of the rear.’

This is a hands-on field experience.

Chris showed confidence and confirmed the destination for this field trip.

Originally, I was planning to aim for a high-scoring category, so there is no need to hesitate for a long time.

Illesis, who was next to him, also nodded happily.

“I have experience going out with my father to fight bandits. I think it would be okay to go there to get some fresh air.”

“okay? Then me too!”

“I-I’d like to ask you to take care of me too.”

‘huh?’

Chris felt uncomfortable.

It was natural for Illesis to follow suit, but it was a little strange that Rosefeld did this as well.

Why is this woman suddenly doing this to me?

Anxiety about knowing about your criminal activities?

Or is it a pity that you misunderstood this side at will?

Anyway, Chris is a little anxious.

Even if it was a safe field practice, it was a bandit extermination, so if you didn’t do it, you might end up with something Rosefeld couldn’t see.

‘Ah, but that was the same for Illesis, right?’

However, compared to Rosefeld, Illesis is less worried, because she is so hungry that she eats grass.

He was a much tougher guy than Rosefeld, who had grown up as a member of the royal family.

The moment Chris was driving the horse while thinking about that.

The horse Rosefeld was riding suddenly twisted.

It screams in agony and raises its front paws high.

“Ah!”

Rosefeld, who was riding on top of him, bounced off dizzyingly fast.

Chris hurriedly threw himself to pick her up, but Rosefeld grabbed the horse’s saddle, turned his body half a turn, and landed safely on the ground.

‘what? You seem to be better at horseback riding than me?’

In her movements, a skill that could not be hidden was revealed.

While the students around them clenched their chests in surprise, the teacher in charge of riding quickly approached and checked the horse’s condition.

“The horseshoes on the front feet are strangely fitted. It looks like it hasn’t been adjusted in a while… I will send the guards to catch the worker right away.”

“You’re good at horseback riding, so why did you pretend you couldn’t?”

When Chris asked with pure doubt, Rosefeldt pretended not to hear him.

Unable to see the scene, Illesis grabbed Chris and pulled him away from her.

The instructor who sent someone to the stable reported to Rosefeld in a panic.

It’s not like an assassination attempt, it’s just a simple mistake.

Rosefeld asked for forgiveness from the man who managed the stable, but the instructor refused.

“The stable keeper is punished because his mistake almost hurt someone. It’s not because Rosefeld-sama was involved.”

The instructor replied coldly and shook his head.

Perhaps he, who is in charge of this class, will also have to accept at least a pay cut.

The instructor ended the class a little earlier than scheduled.

In an uneasy atmosphere, field training was gradually approaching.
