19. Ian – 517pt]

Because he abandoned the scuffle with Eri in the middle, he was pushed down quite a bit in an instant.

However, I didn’t care because the real rankings were decided in the very latter half of the year anyway.

What is more surprising than that is that Lorraine is still in first place, but looking at the points, she has almost caught up.

“Crayton rather than that? His name is not at the top of the rankings yet.”

A third year cadet named Creighton whom Kana said was this year’s winner.

His name has not risen in the rankings even for a moment from the beginning until now.

As a 3rd grader, you could say that he was conserving his energy in the beginning, but…

“Well, it will be fine.”

There must be a corner that believes in something.

For now, the only way for me was to be faithful in every moment.

“… Mister?”

Ignoring the cadets who look at me curiously from all over the field,

There was a cadet who walked proudly to me out of the blue.

“Lorraine?”

It was Lorraine.

She was holding a bunch of mana recovery berries in her hands, chewing on her berries and firing her magic in all directions.

“I heard you transferred to the academy, wasn’t it a joke? Were you hiding that kind of magic ability?”

“I didn’t hide it, it was only recently that I started using magic properly.”

“Really? The ranking is too high for something like that?”

Lorraine, who thought she would be exhausted by now, was seriously fine contrary to her thoughts.

Of course, as long as she continues to use magic while forcibly recovering mana, I think her mental strength will be a bit strained.

Nevertheless, the level that a first grader could show was already far above.

“More than that, Mr. Big Wave, what are you going to do? I guess it will be time soon.”

“What should I do? We have to endure.”

“Alone?”

“Is there any way? No one knows.”

Although it is said that in the Big Wave, usually the cadets temporarily form an alliance to overcome the crisis.

However, there was no way there would be a cadet who would eat and fight with me as a slave.

I don’t know how hard the big wave will be, but I’ll have to endure it alone for now.

She’s actually quite self-confident.

“Is that so? Then, uncle. Would you like to ally with me?”

“… Yes?”

“Only during the big wave. You know how hard it is to survive alone, right?”

“But what do I believe in… “

“Even if you form an alliance with those first year students who are barely holding on, it won’t help in the Big Wave. Rather, it is my judgment that one man who maintains the top rank will be more helpful.”

I’m sure it will. I’ll be more helpful than a bunch of goofballs.

However, there was a bit of a strange part to that.

“Even if I say that to my classmates… Wouldn’t it be okay for Lorraine-sama to be with that third year named Creighton?”

“Crayton? That person… “

– Miss Dearheart?

“Ha… “

A voice calling out to Lorraine. Appearing with him was a group of cadets who appeared to be in the third year.

“Ugh… “

And among them, there was one freshman. The princess was also among the crowd.

“The big wave will start soon, is that okay? It would be impossible alone anyway, but with me… “

“It’s okay. It’s because I’ve already saved my colleague. One man is enough.”

“Ah… ?”

Ignoring me, he approached Lorraine and opened his mouth, then he, presumed to be Creighton, finally looked at me.

Quite tall and curly silver hair. Features that are in harmony with cuteness and good looks that will appeal to everyone.

Craigton was a man with a look that seemed like he would appear as the sub-man in a romance drama.

The act you do is also noble itself. Well, if he’s the fiancé of the Dearheart family, he’s probably not at an ordinary level either.

“I see, are you the slave who participated in the subjugation this time? It looks like you have a talent.”

Creighton was looking at me with a gentle smile, but there was a strange contempt in it that only the person concerned could feel.

He certainly had a look and personality that would make him popular with the cadets.

However, having lived a life of slavery and receiving a lot of contempt, I was able to vaguely grasp what was hidden behind that smile.

He didn’t like splitting the thread.

“But even so, it is impossible to overcome the Big Wave with one slave and just the two of you. Miss Dearheart. I think you know that much.”

“You’ll know that later. Song. Mister.”

“Oh, yes?”

Lorraine grabbed my arm as I stood blankly and dragged her along.

“… See you again. Slave.”

Creighton waved his hand, still smiling badly at me.

His fiancé drags the slave away, but he doesn’t catch it.

From Lorraine’s reaction, it didn’t seem like she was on good terms with her fiancé named Creighton.

I was a little curious about what was going on, but I didn’t bother asking.

It’s a story that has nothing to do with me anyway, and it’s a story that would only bother me if I found out about it.

For now, it was a good thing for me.

As for Lorraine, having her around would be more helpful than me handling her big wave by myself.

“… Hmm, hmm. Rather, Lorraine. How do you plan to stop the Big Wave? If two people can handle it, there must be a limit to mana.”

I tried to build a wall with a flame bastion, restore her mana, and so on.

Lorraine also confidently refused Creighton’s offer, so she must have thought of something of her own.

Although it is said that it is a first year, it is the dear heart family. It seemed that there was a corner to believe in.

“… Don’t you see? We have to endure with these mana recovery fruits!”

“Yes… ?”

It wasn’t

, It was just that there was no plan.

I don’t know exactly about the Big Wave. Even Creighton, who was said to be the championship candidate, formed an alliance with several people like that, but it didn’t seem like he could survive with such a flimsy plan.

“Don’t worry. I’m going to give some to you too. This is what happened, we have to survive together.”

“… No. I don’t need You can eat it all. Instead, please hold on until the big wave is over.”

“What? Are you going to survive without fruit?”

“I have a plan. After all, doesn’t Lorraine-sama think it’s difficult beyond the Big Wave?”

Since she rejected Creighton anyway, she must be calculating that it will be difficult for her to pass the Big Wave.

If it wasn’t for him, since he doesn’t have any cadets to help him, he must have approached me at least.

“That’s the case… Don’t ask for it later.”

“Yes. Then, for now, save mana. It looks like it will start soon.”

Me and Lorraine stopped hunting monsters for a while and secured the fruit of mana recovery.

I don’t need it anyway, but Lorraine needs more fruit to maintain her firepower.

I was thinking of increasing the odds of success even a little bit.

‘No, I’ll win anyway, even without Lorraine.’

From Lorraine’s point of view, I’ll be unreliable, so I’m just preparing in advance.

When the big wave comes, I have no intention of hiding my skills.

If necessary, you must survive by using 4th tier magic.

“If you scroll before me, you’re dead, mister.”

“That will never happen.”

We waited for the big wave while chatting nonchalantly as usual for a while.

*

The subjugation system starts with the Big Wave, and the level of the monsters that appear is completely different.

After the Big Wave, the size of the field also gradually decreased, and the number of mana recovery fruits also decreased.

In other words, the subjugation system after the Big Wave is a complete hardcore mode. No matter how much Lorraine was, she couldn’t handle the monsters that appeared afterwards.

Maybe you can catch a few, but the limit of mana will come soon.

No, in fact, I couldn’t even withstand the big wave.

So I took a strategy to accumulate as many points as possible before the big wave came, but it was clear that it would be reversed later.

‘Well, this year is the first year. It’s good that you came all the way here.’

I could never pass the Big Wave by forming a team with my freshman classmates.

Even third graders can only survive if they have talented people, but they can’t last even 10 seconds with idiots.

To that extent, the Big Wave, and the subjugation system after that, meant a fight between the really talented.

Actually, it was Lorraine who had already half expected to be eliminated. However,

“Lorraine? Are you tired already?”

Uncle, slave, no, Ian.

I was going to be eliminated anyway, so I was afraid to check the skills of the uncle who was transferred this time, so I was creating a situation that I couldn’t expect at all.

‘This, this has just started magic? Is that also a slave?’

A fire wall that primarily blocks the approach of monsters. No, the third-tier Flame Bastion, one level higher than that.

Thanks to that magic, I was able to block most of the monsters that approached without pause.

In addition, I also easily caught the monsters that sometimes climbed over the wall with fire resistance.

For example like this.

“Lightning Spear.”

It was just a second-tier Lightning Spear.

However, if you were to calculate 7 such Lightning Spears at once, it would be different.

‘That nonsense was true?’

No matter how 2nd tier magic was, it was inexplicable to calculate 7 at the same time at the cadet level.

What’s more surprising is the ridiculous calculation speed.

No matter how much he used the accident acceleration method, Ian managed to calculate 7 Lightning Spears simultaneously in less than a second.

That’s while maintaining the 3rd tier magic Flame Bastion.

“Mr. What is your true identity?”

“I am just a slave.”

Papa Papang-

Lorraine was also catching the monsters that came over the wall of flame one by one, raising points from time to time.

However, according to the higher level of the monster, the mana tank ran out just by catching one monster.

“Mr. Don’t you need this?”

“No need.”

However, he did not eat a single mana recovery fruit and continued to use magic.

In reality, Ian was recovering mana through mana liberation from time to time, but the environment was not tidy enough to notice that much.

‘At this rate… It must be at an appropriate level, right?’

Actually, Lorraine was mesmerized by his monstrous magic skills.

As for Ian, he thought he was hiding his skills well enough to go beyond the big wave.

That would be the case, because he was currently enduring the Big Wave without using 4th tier magic.

‘Impossible… This is a slave… ?’

At this time, it was a little later that Lorraine found out that Ian was able to use 4th tier magic.
