How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

42 – Beast Hunting Unit (1)

Tristan Hero Academy is quite busy these days.

Of course, the busy period right after the semester has ended, and there is still plenty of time left until the midterm exam period.

Originally, it should have been a time when it should be quite peaceful and leisurely.

However, a large-scale annual invitational event was waiting, incomparable to such school events.

“excuse me! Hang the banner a little higher over there!”

“You mean this?”

“yes! great! Let’s all suffer a little bit! Since this event is supervised by the royal family and attended by the 3rd princess, we have to thoroughly prepare for even the smallest things!!”

“All right!!”

In fact, the annual invitational event is an event that the military academy regularly conducts every year, but this time, the importance was especially high.

This is because the royal family cooperated with the organizers, and among the invited guests was even the third princess, Bellaria Clepe.

As the authority of the hosting organization increases, the level of attendees naturally also increases.

Military academies and participating organizations in each country that heard the news were also planning to send heroes or people of high reputation who were far superior to the existing personnel.

As such, this event was an event that the military academy’s general administration was preparing with great care.

Military Academy Swordsmanship Department, cadet lounge.

It is a space for undergraduate students to rest, and a place where notices from undergraduate and student councils are mainly posted.

After a while, a large number of swordsmanship students had gathered here.

It was because a very special announcement was posted on the undergraduate bulletin board.

＜Swordsmanship Faculty Dalian Competition＞.

Every time there is an invitational symposium, which is an annual event, it is a competition that is approved by each department, but because the Faculty of Swordsmanship is so large and popular, the competition was held almost every year.

“Wow, 1st tier magic stone in the semifinals? Is it great? It has to go unconditionally.”

“sh*t! If you don’t, you’re an idiot!”

“But if you won the combined championship, what about sparring with the instructor? So, can I fight with Instructor Akina?”

“I might be able to do it. I won’t be able to breathe and I’ll get beaten up.”

As the authority of the event has increased, the prizes of the competition have become much more spectacular than last year.

In particular, a special benefit of being able to compete directly with an instructor when winning the combined championship.

In response to such interesting elements, all the undergraduate cadets were huddled together and talking.

“Kaela, are you going out?”

This was the same for the four passionate students of ＜Balut Sword Technique＞.

When Miren, who was quietly reading the notice, asked, Kaela nodded willingly.

“huh! I have to go out. It’s also an opportunity to test whether the sword technique works against heroes. hehehe.”

As an avid student, the purpose of participating in competitions is to verify swordsmanship.

I have already confirmed that it is effective against monsters through special training, but I was curious about whether it would perform well in one-on-one battles with heroes.

Reese and Lucas next to him also agreed.

“I think the instructor will like it too! “Let’s all go out together!”

“I admit it. If you go to the tournament and get good grades, the instructor will say, ‘Disciples, you’re here!’ You will praise us while doing… ”

“Lucas, please.”

The four of them were quite close among the first year cadets, probably because they went together for a special training session and were Edgar’s favorite cadets.

However, there are nasty flying flies everywhere.

There was also a group of people who looked down on these four people.

“Are these guys obsessed with Balut or something? They were very excited among themselves.”

If ＜Balut Fencing＞ is a kind of mutant lecture, ＜Tristan Fencing＞ is the authentic lecture for freshmen in the Faculty of Swordsmanship.

The most popular among them is Instructor Jackson’s ＜Tristan Fencing＞ lecture.

Kenny Chadbell and Deloch Brosca were the first-year cadets who were recording the most outstanding results in that ＜Tristan sword method＞.

“Kenny. Did I mention that Lucas is your twin brother?”

“It is, but… I don’t really admit it. A person who has lost all dignity as an aristocrat.”

“Looks like it. Even if it’s Miss Miren, you can’t believe she’s hanging out with other commoner students like that. The way he speaks is also vulgar.”

Kenny Chadbell was a first-year cadet who entered the fencing department at the top of his class this time.

Kaela, whom Instructor Edgar calls the best swordsmanship department, had been pushed back by Kenny at the time of admission and entered second place.

In other words, among the first year cadets, the top and bottom students are taking classes separately from ＜Tristan Swordsmanship＞ and ＜Balut Swordsmanship＞.

“Kenny. Can you win?”

“Delroch. I have never lost to anyone since I took up the sword.”

So naturally.

In this ‘Swordsmanship Faculty Dalian Tournament’, there was no choice but to create a competitive structure.

Appointment of new instructor and opening of first lecture.

This semester, when everything was new, gradually entered a familiar phase.

The cadets who had caused friction with me on the first day of class now followed the lecture without saying anything, and there were quite a few cadets who had a better understanding of ＜Balut Sword＞.

Now, the four hot-blooded cadets cannot be said to be unconditionally the best.

It seemed like it would be possible to receive additional personnel for special training.

and.

“Ray, what happened to the request the other day?”

I was preparing to leave for a very long time, for a while.

Two big tasks given to me now.

Among them, it was to proceed with the ‘exploration of demons’ in earnest.

＜Balut Swordsmanship＞ declared a short-term suspension in consultation with the administrative office.

It’s a little regretful that the lecture was canceled at a time when the lecture was just beginning to ripen, but I could see that this monster search was very important to me.

“A positive answer came.”

“Oh, really?”

“yes. And if Edgar is going to purchase the magic stone unconditionally, it was suggested that it be deducted from the reward altogether.”

One of the important reasons is the ‘magic stone’.

In order to properly utilize the magic stone absorption ability, you must directly participate in battles with demonic beasts and obtain magic stones. The royal family even dispatches a demonic beast hunting unit to achieve this goal?

It was literally a loss not to participate in this battle.

However, there remained the problem of how to obtain the magic stones generated in the process… This allowed me to obtain priority through my purchase through negotiations with the royal family.

“That wouldn’t be bad either.”

“yes. Rather, I think it cuts down on unnecessary processes, so I sent a positive response to that as well.”

“Good job. As expected, your work is always neat.”

With Ray’s neat handling of the work, all preparations were over.

That’s how we left the military academy and headed for the rendezvous we had promised in advance.

The assembly point is the eastern part of Tristan, the capital.

It was the direction to Kespa Kingdom.

“Ah, Edgar. It’s here.”

At the assembly point, our older brother Todd Mulick welcomed us.

Todd is currently a wizard hero belonging to the Beast Hunting Unit.

As the unit itself was in charge of the core of this operation, it was the first to come to the assembly point.

“You came earlier than expected.”

“I thought I should know the rough situation. What about Jane?”

“The magic tower support staff will join later. Now is the time to lead individual personnel.”

Todd, Jane, and me.

An operation in which all three siblings of the Marquis Mullique sortie.

The unfamiliar and mysterious sight attracted a lot of interest among the heroes participating in the operation.

Some speculated that since we are the children of the ‘Hero of the Great War’, Brandon Mulick, we would excel.

“This is distribution, and this is administration. If you have a personal problem during the operation, you can come here and ask.”

Todd explained the unit step by step to me.

The monster hunting unit had a surprisingly systematic operation.

Starting with the division of roles within the unit, which is divided into swordsmen, wizards, and archers, all necessary departments such as supply, administration, and other support have been formed.

It was a fairly organic organization that was hard to think of as a small elite unit.

“And over there. our squad leader. Count Calstafo Breska.”

At the place Todd pointed to, there was a middle-aged man who looked about his father’s age.

A hero with a long beard and a sharp look.

From the rugged sword wrapped around his waist, he feels the scent of the battlefield he has experienced so far.

The head of the county of Breska.

Calstapo Bresca.

He was a swordsman famous for his outstanding skills among the 4th hero the kingdom boasted.

“You seem very blunt.”

“It’s just as I thought. However, since you are a bit partial to noble heroes, you should at least talk to them later when you have the chance.”

With that explanation, Todd’s introduction to the unit was almost over.

And at the same time, perhaps because all the assembled personnel had gathered, a member of the unit at the front shouted loudly.

“Let’s go! “Everyone please move to your seats!!”
