Bobbing.
The calm ship seemed to shake suddenly.
A huge octopus leg rises above the water.
One sucker is the size of a human head.
The part that came out above the water must be the tip of the leg.
There will be thicker legs and suckers down below.
Bang!
The huge octopus leg that appeared began to attack the pirate ship.
=====
[Quest: Defeat the sea monster Polypus]
―Defeat the Polypus that is attacking the ship.
―You must hurry before all the students fall into the sea.
―Reward: 10K Mana Points (x2)
―Failure: Half of the second graders die
=====
"Luna! This way!"
Davian wrapped his arm around Luna's waist and jumped into the cabin.
If she stays outside and falls into the sea due to the shock of the ship shaking.
He can't save her in the sea where Polypus is running rampant.
After entering the safe cabin.
He opened the visible cabin door and threw Luna in.
"Stay here, Luna. I'll go out and defeat that octopus."
A quest that usually opens on the sea.
A sudden attack by a sea monster.
He was a little embarrassed in his 2nd year of the 2nd playthrough.
Now that he's on his 4th playthrough.
Defeating those octopus monsters is nothing.
Besides.
There are also top players like Leo Martien and Professor Kinesis on other nearby pirate ships.
Above all.
Duke Espin Ellaina is also on this ship.
Professor Camilla Lucia, who must be on another ship somewhere, is also a force to be reckoned with.
In the 4th playthrough, a quest that is not a threat at all.
It's just a quest that opens because he came out to sea.
The reward is only 10K mana points.
Should he call it a small event in the open sea?
Anyway, that's it.
But then.
Waaaaah!
Luna Pueri suddenly burst into tears.
"Waaah! Uh...yesterday, the twins suddenly...waaah! appeared. Today...today, Bellum...sniff...worked so hard. Suddenly, this time an octopus...waaah! It's ruined! It's all ruined!"
Tears streamed down from her big eyes.
"I guess I can't...waaah. I...I can't with Davian...waaah...I guess I can't......"
Still, she's been a colleague for over a year.
In fact, it's much longer if you count the previous playthroughs.
Luna Pueri was also the one who stayed by his side until the end of the 3rd playthrough.
Luna Pueri was the one who took out the last return stone and put it in his mouth when he collapsed with fatal injuries that made him unable to move.
Now she hiccups and shrinks her shoulders a lot.
"Luna."
"Hic, hic."
"Luna. Give me the letter."
"Hic...huh? Huh?"
"Give me the letter. You were going to give it to me yesterday."
Luna's big eyes, which had been looking at the floor, turned to Davian.
Tears were still streaming down.
"How...how did you know?"
He raised his internal energy to the level of a 7-star swordsman.
He couldn't help but notice her fidgeting next to him while touching her school uniform jacket pocket.
"I'll defeat those octopuses outside and read it quietly later, so give me the letter."
"Huh? Uh...okay..."
Her small hands trembled so much because she had been crying so much.
Then, she puts her hand in her pocket and takes out a neatly folded and tied letter.
Davian took Luna's letter and put it carefully in his jacket inside pocket.
"I'll read it after I catch the octopus. Luna, you stay here. It's dangerous outside. Got it?"
Luna, who was startled by the word danger, jumped up.
"I, I'll help too!"
"No. I don't need healing magic. It's a big deal if you get swept away by the waves if you come out."
"You, you? Are you okay, Davian?"
"What's wrong. I'm Davian Naone. I'll be right back."
"Uh...okay. I understand, Davian. Be careful."
Davian, who had calmed Luna down appropriately, came out of the cabin.
Espin Ellaina was already out and commanding the navy.
"Davian, it's dangerous. Go inside."
"No. A sea monster has appeared, so we must join forces."
He looked around.
Huge octopus legs were wildly wrapping around the pirate ships scattered here and there.
Sea Monster Polypus.
An octopus-type monster with an unbelievably huge body.
An existence that comes out of the deep sea dungeon that humans cannot enter.
The most terrifying existence for ordinary sailors.
But.
That's for ordinary sailors.
Whoosh!
As Davian shook his hand, sharp wind elemental magic flew in a large semicircle.
Swish!
It cuts through Polypus' huge leg.
Not to be outdone.
Duke Espin Ellaina took out a large sword, threw himself, and cut off the giant octopus leg wrapping around the ship in one stroke.
The head is under the sea, so it's not easy to attack.
But if you cut off its legs like this, the monster will get tired and run away on its own.
There are Espin and Davian on this ship.
Leo Martien is on the 1st group ship.
Professor Kinesis is on the 2nd group ship.
Camilla Lucia is on the 3rd group ship.
The problem is the 4th group.
The 4th group is led by Professor of Mental Magic, Billian Disipulus.
Professor of Mental Magic Billian cannot deal with that Polypus.
The assistant and students may be able to deal with it somehow.
But in the process, there will be great loss of life.
"Duke Espin! Please take care of this ship! I have to go to that ship over there!"
"The professor in charge of that ship is a professor of mental magic, right? Accurate situation assessment. Do that, Davian Naone."
Hoo.
He took a deep breath once.
Sss.
He inhaled deeply again.
He kicked the deck as hard as he could.
He could see the wooden deck under his feet breaking.
And Davian jumped far away.
Port.
Leo Martien, the head of the swordsmanship department, bowed to Duke Espin Ellaina.
"Thanks to you, we were able to defeat the Polypus group without much damage. Fortunately, none of the students were seriously injured."
"It was only possible to defeat them because the academy professors and students were so outstanding."
"No. I witnessed the Duke's sailors fearlessly jumping in every time students fell into the water many times. I am very grateful."
"They are guests on our ship, so it is natural."
The 2nd grade field trip, which had many events, ended like that.
They annihilated the demons that came out of the suddenly created dimensional connection passage.
In the process, they defeated Legion Commander Jedikus.
Thanks to Duke Espin's consideration, he met influential nobles from all over the continent and became acquainted with them.
He succeeded in bringing the Meridiem Dukedom and the Arond County into the Davian Alliance.
In the process, he dealt with the triplets who had infiltrated at the wrong time.
And, he received Luna's confession letter.
Dormitory.
Davian, who was lying on the bed, involuntarily sighed.
Following Latia, Luna as well.
Fortunately.
Neither of them urge a quick answer.
Davian's head became complicated.
Which way of acting would be more advantageous for graduation?
He can't coldly push them away.
Latia Meridiem, Luna Pueri.
Both are necessary forces for graduation.
If he accepts one's confession to create a perfect ally.
The other one can completely drop out of the party he worked so hard to put together.
'That won't do.'
Then the conclusion is.
'I have to maintain the relationship in this state......'
Nothing has happened yet.
But it's clear that it won't be easy.
'Damn. But I have to do it.'
Come to think of it.
Has anything ever been easy?
Being stabbed to death in the back by an enemy.
And gently comforting and taking the two girls with him.
If he has to choose one of the two.
Of course, it's the latter.
3rd playthrough, 5th grade.
Demon Legion Commander Jedikus was stabbed to death in the back by a lower-ranking demon he sent through a space.
After that, 4th playthrough started and a year and a half passed.
He succeeded in directly killing Legion Commander Jedikus.
Was this process easy anywhere?
Majoring in two subjects.
Facing numerous threats.
Right.
In order to completely clear the damned game 'Elton Academy'.
He has to graduate.
The process will definitely be difficult and arduous.
Even more so in the future.
Right.
This is just one of those difficult processes.
Then.
Knock knock.
"Who is it."
"It's me, Liber."
"Come in."
Liber opened the dormitory door and came in.
"I knew you'd be here. I couldn't see you anywhere."
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, Bonita wants to see you."
"Bonita?"
"Yeah. She said she couldn't find you no matter how much she looked, so she told me to go to the dormitory."
"Why does Bonita want to see me again?"
"Again? Who else was looking for you?"
"......No."
'Why is Bonita suddenly looking for me again.'
Could it be......
Bonita too?
Private training ground.
Room 17, which he heard through Liber.
Squeak.
Davian opened the door to the private training ground.
Swish! Chop!
Neat sword paths.
Perfect posture.
Bonita's swordsmanship, which is always perfect no matter how many times he sees it, was unfolding.
The roughly tied red hair dyed the path Bonita was passing through red.
Her arms and legs were all wet with sweat from how long she had been practicing.
Davian waited for Bonita's swordsmanship to end.
Hoo. Hoo.
After a while.
Bonita, who stopped her movements, took a deep breath and inhaled to adjust her heart rate.
"You came?"
"Yeah. You said you were looking for me."
"You weren't training at this time and were holed up in the dormitory? I couldn't find you no matter how much I looked."
"Just some. I had something to think about. But why did you call me?"
Bonita, who picked up a towel and roughly wiped the sweat off her face, approached Davian.
"That's......"
Bonita Portis, who hesitated to finish her words.
Since she's not usually this kind of person.
Davian's head started to get complicated again.
What is it.
Could it be.
'Please, Bonita. Two is too much.'
Bonita's lips opened again.
"Can you......help me?"
Davian's facial muscles, which had been unknowingly contorted, relaxed in an instant.
Can he help her?
Of course.
Of course, he can help her.
Just tell him.
Davian, who was completely in a difficult situation due to the successive confessions of the two girls.
It seemed like he could grant any request as long as Bonita didn't confess.
"What's wrong? The great Bonita Portis."
Bonita picked up the school uniform jacket she had taken off and hung on one side.
She took out a piece of paper from her jacket pocket and handed it to him.
"Request fulfillment evaluation?"
"It's for 2 people."
Request fulfillment evaluation that can be freely selected and carried out at any time.
The number of people to carry out is specified in this request fulfillment evaluation.
You must meet that number of people to leave to carry out the request.
Davian unfolded the folded request fulfillment evaluation paper.
As Bonita said, it says 2 people to carry out at the top.
"My mother is......in danger."
"What?"
Davian quickly skimmed through the request fulfillment evaluation paper.
Looking at the sender.
It was the butler of the Portis family.
"I found it by chance. I don't know why my mother didn't tell me this......"
He vaguely remembered hearing that her father was not there.
"Are you going to directly do the request fulfillment evaluation related to your family?"
"Yeah. So please help me, Davian Naone. If I get permission to proceed with the evaluation by filling the number of people, I can legally skip class."
So that was the reason.
