As the bell rang for the last class, the teacher had just walked out of the classroom door, and Sarah uncharacteristically walked in early.

"Huh? Sarah-sensei? Why is it so early today? At the desk, a girl with blonde hair looked at Sarah, who had been eating often, in surprise.

"Hmm—there's something special about today." In response to a question that she wanted to refute but couldn't, Sarah muttered dissatisfiedly, "Tomorrow is your 'free day'." Follow the old rules, I won't talk about the details, and you know it. I came here today to tell you that the actual combat training originally scheduled to start next week has officially started today, and now you should quickly pack up your things and go to the playground to gather. ”

“。。。 Eh??? Right now?! A brunette boy replied.

"This, this is too sudden, isn't it?!" The boy with short dark green hair and black-framed eyes echoed.

"I can't help it." Sarah said helplessly, "The new deputy head teacher officially came to the academy this afternoon, and the future actual combat training and internship are generally led by me and him respectively, and now he wants to get to know you, so I advise you to go quickly." Lane, Macchias. Otherwise, although he is a gentleman to girls, he will not be soft on boys. ”

"Hmm—I see!" The boy named Macchias muttered in reply.

Because of the relationship that the bell rang soon after class, the academy was full of students' shadows, it should be said that it was really not a loss to the military academy, even if there were some objectionable orders, but everyone still completed it very well, and the students of Class VII who had collected their equipment quickly gathered in a corner of the designated playground.

“。。。 It seems that people haven't come yet? An orange-haired, weak boy spoke.

"Looks like a person who makes it a habit to be late." The blonde boy answered coldly.

On the edge of the playground, the golden sunset gilded everything with a layer of golden light, and the sound was only the sound of the leaves blown by the breeze except for the voices of people who came to the playground due to club sports not far away.

“。。。。 Ahhh Really, what the hell was that teacher thinking?! After waiting for a while, Macchias, who couldn't stand it, said irritably, "Could it be again-"

"Someone!" On the side, a short silver-haired girl who was lazily leaning on the back of the pink twist girl and napping suddenly opened her green eyes, and instantly put on a fighting posture with two more dagger-like weapons in her hands, and her sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.

"This feeling ... It's really being targeted. The blue-haired girl with a ponytail nodded, a giant sword that was a little exaggerated had been erected, and it was hard to imagine that a girl could swing such a heavy weapon.

"Strange ... The wind doesn't feel the breath of people... On the other side, the brown-haired boy also vigilantly set up the cross spear, but said puzzled.

"It seems that finding that teacher is the first part of the actual battle." The boy named Lane had a glint of eagerness in his eyes.

"Hmph, it seems that he is a teacher who is quite conceited about his skills." The blonde boy said a little meanly, "Interesting, since that's the case, let's have fun with you." ”

"There's no hiding here, so if you're going to hide someone—"

"It's here!" The blonde and silver-haired girls spoke at the same time, and two wind bullets shot out of the bowstring and dagger, swishing through the leaves, and there was a sparse sound.

"Huh?!"

"No... People? Seeing that the attack was missed, the braided girl closed her eyes and turned her head slightly to feel every direction, trying to sense where the other party was.

"Hmm—I did feel the sight, but I couldn't locate it." The blue-haired girl said a little unwillingly, "This feeling... How to think of it is the same as how many people exist. ”

"Calm down, Laura." Li En comforted, turned his head to look at the girl with braids in her eyes closed, "Squad leader, can you use magic to determine the location?" ”

"No, the teacher's hiding skills are so powerful that you can't feel it even if you use magic to enhance your perception." The braided girl shook her head.

"I see, a combination of perception, experience, and computing? Quite an interesting combination. ”

A melodious voice came from the empty sky, and the processed sound was clearly heard by everyone present, but there was no way to discern the location, "And then, the rest of the people won't just stand here stupidly, right?" I'm going to give you a five-minute game of hide-and-seek, I'm here at this playground, how about finding me with a credit award? Of course, the punishment of not being able to find it is inevitable. ”

"Uhh Macchias said irritably.

"Be quiet, impulsiveness will only fall into his trap." The blonde boy said coldly.

"Jusis is right, there is still enough time, if you calm down and look for it, you will definitely find it." Lane persuaded.

"I see!" Macchias glanced at the blonde boy hatefully and pushed his glasses to hide his impatience.

"The magic search was fruitless, several people discussed and each assigned a part of the search by hand, the playground and a part of the outside, the really small space was divided by nine people to search, it should have been a simple matter, but under the careful search, the people who were still fruitless couldn't help but become anxious, not only because they would be punished, but more, probably because of a sense of frustration and unwillingness. For these proud students, such failures are quite rare.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing that the time was approaching, the people who were depressed suddenly attracted by Sarah's voice. A young man stood sideways from a bench on the side of the playground and said something to Sarah angrily.

"Ahh Completely forgot about there. The orange-haired boy spoke.

"It's better that the man is too good at disguise, and he doesn't think it's weird at all." The blue-haired girl named Laura smiled wryly.

"He became one with nature." The brown-haired boy nodded

"It's better that he's just sleeping." The silver-haired girl's voice was a little dissatisfied, and it didn't seem like he had hit her hard.

"That man..." The blonde girl squinted her eyes and used her hand to block the sunset shining down.

"Huh? Does Alyssa know anyone? The braided girl looked at the blonde girl curiously.

"Uh-uhhh The girl named Alyssa suddenly screamed.

"Are you calling me?"

In the line of sight, the young man next to Sarah disappeared from everyone's field of vision in the blink of an eye, the newspaper used to cover his head had not fallen to the ground, and the young man's voice had already come out behind Alyssa, his black pupils scanned the people who were looking at him, and then fell on Alyssa's hair who was reluctant to look back, stretched out his right hand and gently patted Alyssa's shoulder and shook it.

"It's been a long time, Alyssa."
