It was a cylindrical metal object, and for Levy's students to look at it, they might guess it was some kind of large, strange can. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But Levi knew very well that the dark-colored 'can' was actually a common landmine. And it's a jumping mine specifically for anti-infantry.

These mines do not explode as soon as the enemy steps on them. Instead, after the weight pressed on it is removed, it bounces above the ground and then explodes. These mines can often jump about a metre above the ground before exploding, while spraying shrapnel and steel balls filled inside. Objects within a radius of several tens of meters will be destroyed, and there will be almost no dead spots for attack.

To be honest, Levy could not have imagined anyone setting up such a weapon in this place. He really didn't understand why this was happening. Targeting one or some of the students at his school? Lévy didn't think any of the casual students were worth attacking in this way. And if the terrorists who kill indiscriminately just to create a sensation do not choose to attack in the hotel, but instead set up mines in this location where it is basically unlikely that there will be a student path, it is obviously too outrageous.

Just when Levi was confused, the man he held the gun to his back nodded quickly, indicating that he could understand Levi's words and didn't need to change his language. However, the man's nodding action made Levi even more puzzled, such a crisp and neat movement and quick reaction mentality...... How do you feel like you're supposed to be a well-trained soldier?

Levi didn't speak, he looked away from the mine, and carefully looked at the man who had been controlled by himself. With his observational power, he could naturally see that this man did not have the slightest consciousness of becoming a prisoner, but the muscles all over his body were tense, ready to catch his negligence at any time and thunder to counterattack. But Levi didn't care about that, as soon as he arrived, he knew that the man under his gun was an ordinary person with no magical powers. It can be seen that the physical training is very profound, but it is still in the category of ordinary human beings, even if he is proficient in combat skills as a soldier, it is impossible to hurt Levi in the slightest. It was the man's messy short hair that slightly showed a side face, which made Levi look a little familiar.

He looked young, certainly no more than twenty years old. A cross-shaped scar on the lower left side of the face...... Lévy seemed to have seen a scar like this somewhere. Although there was no shortage of people he knew, who were covered in scars and called manly marks...... Scars, mines, soldiers, Levy's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered.

"Could it be...... Sergeant Sagara?"

After Levi called out the surname, he sensed the subtle tremor of the other man's body through the gun on the man's back. Although it was only after almost perfectly controlling the emotion, the body could not completely restrain the movement of the muscles under the conditioned reflex. Even though it is a subtle movement that ordinary people cannot feel even if they are in physical contact. But that was enough for Levi to be sure he was right.

"It's Sergeant Sosuke Sagara, right? I'm Levy-McDowell. I found someone here who didn't know what to do, so I ran over under suspicion, sorry. ”

Levi put the gun back and took two steps back with a smile. And the man who was originally pointed at him with a gun instantly rolled to the side, and when he got up, he was already pointing a pistol at Levi.

"It turned out to be Mr. McDowell. ”

The young man, who looked expressionless like a veteran of the battlefield, lowered his gun after confirming Levy's appearance. He was relieved to see that it was Levi, apparently when he was 'sneak attacked' by Levi just now, his heart was not as unfluctuating as he appeared.

"As you know, I am a school teacher by profession. Today I happened to bring the students of the school to travel here. ”

Although Levi and the other party have known each other for a while, and can be considered to have fought side by side in the past. But a soldier like Sosuke Sagara had always been suspicious, and in order to avoid his suspicion, Levi bluntly stated the reason why he was here.

Some people may think that it is obviously a friendship that once fought side by side, but they still suspect that the other party is a little unkind. However, like this boy, he belongs to a 'small organization' that is guarded against and even hostile by the world's major countries and forces, and he is almost always surrounded by enemies whenever he appears on the battlefield, and he is used to that kind of 'working environment', if he is still as happy as some soldiers who don't need to think too much, I am afraid that he will die in a war long ago, and he will not live to meet Lévy one day.

"I see, three days ago, I investigated the hot spring inn and knew that there would be a tour organized by the school today, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. McDowell's school. ”

The boy suddenly realized when he heard this, but he had actually investigated the hotel in advance, and even looked at the hotel's guest list for today, which made Levi feel more and more strange. Could it be that his organization has given him a certain mission? Seeing that he has been setting all kinds of traps around here just now, and even using landmines, could it be that his mission this time is to ambush and attack who will appear here?

Coincidentally. This military boy named Sosuke Sagara is a member of the combat unit of the organization called MITHRIL (Mithril) that he talked about when Levi and Nangong Nayue went to the school city to buy all kinds of things needed for this trip a few days ago. It was an organization that specialized in covert missions to defuse crises in areas around the world where wars or armed conflicts were about to occur. Such an organization is destined to be a potential enemy of all the armed forces of the world, and even the self-proclaimed governments of countries are not sure whether they will be considered hostile by the organization if they attack the other side for some reason. Even in a local war, such as the quelling of internal rebellions, which most people take for granted, no one knows the logic of an idealized organization that seems to be dedicated to eliminating strife and maintaining world peace.

In Mithril's almost 'universal' organization, and as a front-line combatant. Despite being a teenager the age of a high school student, Sousuke Sagara is like a beast struggling to survive in the jungle, alert and alert to everything around him. And Levi had heard from the teenager's superiors about his childhood.

Sosuke Sagara was not born in a peaceful and developed country, and he did not sit in the classroom every day worrying about too much homework and no time to play, like Levy's students, but from a very young age, he struggled to survive every day - after all, how many teenagers who grew up in a normal environment would join the mercenary organization as a frontline fighter at a young age?
