Academy Slave Instructor

Gifts

The venison caught by Rai is even seasoned with a little bit of spice. The meat grilled over a bonfire is delicious on its own, but as the seasoning is added on top of it, all the academy students watching from the side are salivating.

“……”

“I told you to use fire, so don’t say anything.”

Although Leila allowed them to use a fire, Layla said as if to make an excuse as Leila looked at Team 7, who even made a smoker and was making a fuss of smoke.

The academy students who were ridiculed by him secretly expected Layla to overthrow them all, but she leaves, leaving only the words to do as she pleases.

After eating far more than her allowance, Sesset stretched out on the ground holding her stomach with both hands with a happy expression, while Zeroa and Arya were still eating the meat.

After eating the same amount as usual, Rai fills the smoker with minced meat in place of the other members of the group, then gets up and walks into the woods.

Away from the main unit, he smokes a cigarette and looks back.

“Stalking is a crime, friend.”

“I’m not your friend. Not even stalking.”

“Then why would you be chasing after me?”

As Rai came out of the main unit, Asrun, who had followed him, turned his head away with an embarrassed expression. When he hesitates and says nothing, Rai speaks again.

“Did you come to pick up some cigarettes?”

Athran, who couldn’t bring cigarettes because of training, was stressed by the desire to smoke for three days. Aslan, who had already seen Rai secretly leave the assembly area on the first day, did not miss the opportunity and followed him this time.

However, Asran, who had a hard time asking for a cigarette even though they were not close, answered right away when he said it first.

“…… Give me one if you know.”

“Will I give you something pretty?”

Ray flicks the cigarette in his mouth and giggles. Aslan frowns and looks at him.

“One cigarette for one token.”

“It’s not mine, so I’ll give it to you in money. How much is it? You can sing it loud.”

Asran’s team 2 has all the tokens because he is the captain. He thought he would be able to worry about it, but Rai, who was interested in seeing him who immediately rejected it, saying that it was Joe’s property, threw the cigarette pack.

“Your money isn’t really yours either. Technically, it’s family money.”

“If it wasn’t for that one word, I would have bowed down. Anyway, thank you.”

With a twisted smile, Asran takes out a cigarette and returns the pack. As if he couldn’t stand it during training, he immediately inhaled deeply and then exhaled.

He has a sharp impression, but his expression through the fog looks much more comfortable.

“What, why are you so weak? What flavor do you smoke this with?”

“If you don’t like it, give it to me.”

“I didn’t say no.”

Athran frowns at the absurd taste, which is hard to even say is less than 1/10 of the cigarettes he usually smokes, but he doesn’t reject it.

Rai crouches down to smoke a cigarette, and Athran, leaning against a tree, remains silent. Only silence remains. Hearing the voices of the academy students over the forest, Aslan somehow felt the same atmosphere as when he smoked a cigarette with him in the back of the cafe.

“How did you catch the deer?”

“I caught it because I could see it. Can’t you guys do that too?”

It was a disrespectful remark, but Aslan, who ran like crazy to catch a bird and failed, didn’t say anything and shut his mouth.

Rai, with a smile on his face, looks up at Aslan.

“You rely too much on mana.”

“Why in the world are you doing this kind of training? You’re just going through so much trouble.”

“If you use mana, you can detect it right away, so whether it’s reconnaissance or a surprise attack, bimana marching is essential. You’ll think about this training desperately when you escape from being captured. You’ll escape safely and probably bow toward the academy.”

Athran also looked at Rai’s words.

Some instructors who are cultured on the outside but vulgar on the inside don’t like Rai, who is recognized by the academy students, and often curse at him when they are together. And no matter how careful they are, if you talk at the academy, you will end up in the ears of the academy students.

Words in the ears of the academy students spread quickly, and Athran also knows that Rai has only one battle in Rennen. If so, what he just said should sound like a bluff, but strangely, his words are lively.

Reading the emotional change in his eyes, Rai smiles and turns off his cigarette and gets up.

“You know, but if it’s a real battle situation, don’t be conscious of others and smoke it in the barracks. There will be a hole in the back of your head.”

“I know.”

“Nene, a present for a good boy.”

When Rai suddenly throws something, Aslan urgently receives it and confirms it. It consisted of a half-empty cigarette pack and a thick cloth wrapped object.

He knows what’s inside even without opening the cloth. It was deer meat with a fine blood scent, a little softness, and a sense of weight.

Food is precious everywhere. There was even a group who gave up food and tried to get food with tokens after failing, so meat enough to feed four people was worth more.

Athlan raises his head while looking at the heaviness of the deer meat.

“You have to eat well to grow up. Hide it so that no one can see it and eat it tomorrow. Save face to the members of the crew.”

Before Aslan can even say thank you, Rai turns his head and walks towards the headquarters.

Seeking her well-preparedness, Sesset, who has her blanket pulled over like her cloak, runs around and runs to Philia.

Philia, who was looking at her map, her three-set suddenly jumped in, but she embraced her without difficulty. She looks as if she’s holding her baby as Sesset, covered in her blanket, sits on her lap.

“Filly, Philly. What are you doing?”

“I was checking the geography of my surroundings because I didn’t know what was coming tomorrow.”

“Wu- I’m sincere. There are only sincere people in the academy, so I’m lazy and have no stamina. It’s too hard.”

Her cheeks are puffy and she expresses her dissatisfaction, but Philia smiles a little, knowing that she is diligently preparing. Lying comfortably on her back to see if her Philia’s breasts were soft on her, Sesset looked up at her and chatted away at her.

“Raicang suddenly shouted that there was a deer, but I couldn’t see anything. But I wasn’t the only one, and Aria looked at Laycan and asked if she was okay. I threw a shovel at it. Shuuu~”

Three-set she talks about what happened in group 7. Philia, who agrees with her, thinks she is having fun training and looks at her with envious eyes.

“Anyone can see that I threw away the shovel, but when I went there, there was a deer with a shovel stuck in its neck! Wow- I was hungry, but rather than feeling sorry for the corpse, I immediately thought of steak.”

“Your wish came true.”

“Yes, yes. It’s been a while since I ate until my stomach burst.”

“That’s why it got heavier. My knees are numb.”

“Ah! I’m not heavy!”

As Sesset struggles, Philia comforts her as she hugs her tightly to prevent her from running away. She giggled for a while, then three three looked to one side and she said quietly.

“How about that orc?”

When Gilbard, described as an orc, came up as the subject, Philia smiled as if she didn’t want to say anything she didn’t want to say, but Sesset frowned after hearing all the explanations from her expression.

“Do you want me to hit you in the back of the head?”

“No, don’t do it. Your rating will be lowered.”

As Philia shakes her head, Seset frowns and glares at her distant Gill Bard. He is also showing off his heroic story in front of a bonfire with academy students.

Not wanting to see her friend struggling, Sesset contemplates whether or not to tell her what she heard from Rai.

After listening to Rai, Sesset realized belatedly that Selenas’ words were not a hint, but rather a tool for training.

She is quick-witted, but it was hard for her to feel it because the 7th group had a existence called Rai.

Whether Lai does well or not, he is an instructor and is in a higher position than the other members of the academy. Regardless of power, position, or power, if there is someone in the group who is superior to the other members, no other noise comes out.

Even if they tried hard to get more points, they couldn’t be the captain in the group with the princess, and the groups with Violet and Sojeta, who were already said to have no enemies in the same grade, didn’t fight each other and united as one.

Of course, there are cases like Asran’s group, which is a group of close friends, but even if they are close, there are groups that cause discord because of individual scores.

More than half of the academy students were already aware of Selena’s intentions.

However, it was not a problem that could be easily solved by knowing the intentions, and even now there are groups that do not agree with each other and then self-destruct.

And in the eyes of Sesset, Philia’s Joe was also on the way to self-destruction.

“Philia… Do you remember what the headmaster said?”

As her three-set whispered in her worried eyes, Philia looked at her and put her index finger to her mouth. When she already knows that Philia is also noticing her, Sesset glances at her gill bard, she says.

“Cooperation is important, but that nerd is still rampaging without knowing what he’s testing…”

“It’s not cooperative.”

At Philia’s words, Sesseth raised her head and looked at her. Philia, who looked around her to see who was listening to her, quietly spoke to her.

“It’s my personal opinion, but this evaluates cooperation, but it’s more about evaluating the leaders.”

“Captains?”

“Yes, in this training, the leader who leads the group is in a more advantageous position. Since he has already been appointed as the captain, he can give orders more often and get good grades, so only the captains made the test a little more difficult.”

At Philia’s whispered words, Sesseth shuts her mouth and thinks.

If Selenas’s words are a trap, those who suffer the most are the leaders. When preparing for training, the team members who followed their words and actively helped them suddenly changed their attitude, so the team leaders are frustrated.

As soon as you say something, you will bet on it, and you will notice even the slightest mistake, so the leader’s position decreases as training progresses. The academy made a composition where the leader kept his position and the members beat and climb.

It is also vicious to have the leaders arbitrarily give up their products. Regardless of the choice, the dissatisfaction of Jo Won grows even if there is a loss and a slight disagreement.

Seset thinks about her, then raises her head to see Philia.

“Then she says Philia isn’t the most dangerous thing, that bastard is running wild.”

“It’s okay.”

Philia said she was fine with a small smile. And she knows what her confident smile says.

She would have fallen for her if she was born as a man, she’s any hard thing, she’s philia, she’s confident with a smile, she’s okay, and she says everything’s okay.

“Yes, then I should worry about my score, since I have nothing to evaluate.”

Thanks to Lai, the training itself prepared by the academy was not applied, and three sets predicted that their scores would be low. He said that without Rai anyway, he wouldn’t even be able to train properly, so he has no complaints, but it’s a pity he misses.

“Raikang always helped and then harassed and harassed.”

“Still, Instructor Rai seems to like it.”

“Yeah, yeah. Good, good. He definitely helps me when I need it, and his actions are funny and not burdensome. Philia doesn’t like lycan?”

“I really hate it.”

Philia promptly replies with a straight face, as if the memory of her chewing venison right in front of her eyes still lingers in her head even though she is starving. Cesset, who averted her eyes from her stiff face, squirmed and pulled her cape-like blanket over her shoulders.

Sitting in front of her fire, not hot, Philia looks at her blanket and turns her gaze to Sessett, she smiles and gets up.

“Please return the blanket tomorrow. A political gift to solidify your position as captain! Philly is not good at politics. I’ll have to help him with that.”

Not knowing what the blanket has to do with her politics, Philia looks up at the three-set in a daze and feels something heavy inside the blanket covering her body. Philia, who she fumbled and touched, is heavy, but her not-hard texture reminds me of the scene where Rai chews her venison with a grumpy expression.

As Philia’s eyes change, Sesset narrows her eyes and smiles sinisterly.

“It’s a gift from Lycan that Philly hates so much. Of course, this body chose who to give it to, so thank me too. Properly show the crew how strong the captain’s personal connections are.”

After she finishes her words, the three-set runs to her dodo and attacks Arya, who is trying to enter her tent, from behind and disappears into the tent together.

Philia, who had been absentmindedly unable to say thank you, groped her hand again and weighed her meat. Do.

Feeling her gratitude, Philia looked at her lie for a moment, tossing and turning her hun smoke, then headed to her own tent.
