- The Light of Hope ten minutes before the battle with Iwasai Behemoth -

"There's a high-energy reaction ahead."

The voices of the students on duty came from the microphone tube representing the Magic Spectrum Observation Room.

"The mana fluctuates yellow, and the waveform is huge, so it's confirmed to be Iwasai Behemoth!"

Listening to the reports that kept coming from there, several people, who were the main combat force, gathered around to discuss the future battle plan.

Originally, their main mission was only to assist in the defense of Lovenia, and to lead Iwabu Behemoth in the direction where the orcs had gathered after he appeared.

But it was all a battle plan that could only be executed before the other party showed up and had enough time to prepare - for this purpose, they also brought Sylvin and Donald, who had a relationship with the Lord of Lovenia.

But the current situation has been beyond their expectations.

"Professor Voda, can you confirm the relative location of Iwasai Behemoth and the city of Lovenia?"

Calling out a nearby map, Riddle put on a pair of glasses and asked the leprechaun that Sivi had sent to them as a boost.

The rural teenagers of the past have begun to have the calm temperament of an academic magician who is not in a hurry when encountering problems.

"Based on the information from the Magic Spectrum Observation Room, it can be estimated that Iwasheng Behemoth will not be more than a mile away from the walls of Lovenia in a straight line. With a 30 percent error rate, its presumed position is roughly here. ”

More than ever, the leprechaun with a doctor's hat made for it stretched out his long, lemur-like fingers and pointed at the illusory map.

"Isn't this the location of a refugee camp?"

Donald, who had been silent because he couldn't speak, suddenly exclaimed, "If it really appears here." Those refugees are in danger! ”

"Silwin, is that really the case?"

Dorothy was cautious, but first asked another person who had been to Lovenia to verify, and after the other person nodded in affirmation of Donald's statement, the group fell silent again.

Theo had a first-hand experience of fleeing, the four of Camillo had seen a lot of human tragedy in Morag, and Hilven and Donald had seen refugees outside of Lovenia.

No one wants to die for those who have been displaced.

"The original plan was carried out."

Theo broke the silence with a sudden voice: "Let's distract the big man, and then Voda, you pretend to be a refugee and escape." ”

"Loaded with refugees? …… Wait, Miss Theo. Do you mean to let Voda me load those refugees into this boat? ”

Woda was startled. Hurry up and confirm with Theo.

The girl nodded without hesitation.

"But without Lord Edric's permission, Warda can't let anyone aboard!" The leprechaun screamed, "Even Miss Theo doesn't have this permission!" ”

"'Hurrying to do the right thing' means that depending on the situation, there is no need to follow rigid rules. The Dean once taught me this word. Little Fat Dun Tannis moved directly out of the name of Sivi.

"That's right. Even if the Dean is here. He's sure he'll agree to our proposal. ”

Kamiyu also nodded. Ying and Dao.

"But, but ......"

Warda muttered, obviously still a little resistant to this kind of permissionless thing.

"Voda."

While the leprechaun hesitated, Theo spoke again.

"It's okay." She held the metal fabric. A wand with a very mechanical texture, bright yellow eyes stared at the little leprechaun: "I will take all the responsibility." ”

"Whatever the consequences, I'll bear them."

There was not the slightest hesitation in her clear eyes, and she repeated again: "All the responsibility is up to me Theo. Scanji undertakes. Is such a promise enough? ”

As if they were shocked by her words, the rest of them couldn't help but froze.

Occasionally, they do things that violate the school rules, but they are almost always within the permissible range. It's like bringing a cartoon from a mobile phone into a school – it's a violation of school rules, but it's really not a particularly serious thing.

But allowing refugees to board the ship is nothing at worst, but no one knows what the refugees will do. The Light of Hope was not like the tried and tested Celestial Destroyer, many of the parts were assembled by the students themselves, and if one of the refugees broke it, it would cause a real loss of gold...... It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of magic guide ship is piled up with gold coins. Moreover, as a test ship, it is not surprising that the whole ship fell from the sky because of the damage to key parts......

So although they also seconded the proposal to load refugees, they did not have the courage to guarantee it.

"She is worthy of Her Royal Highness the 'Princess of the Sky'." Kamiyu suddenly showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "Being able to take on responsibilities that don't belong to you so easily...... I really can't compare to your black class. ”

He had secretly envied the members of the black class, and felt that it was really unfair that the other party could not only be taught by the dean, but also have tailor-made magic items.

However, it was not until today that he suddenly realized that the consciousness he was shouldering was not at the same level as the other party.

"With great rights comes great responsibility." Tio didn't show any expression at Kamiu's compliment, but said as a matter of course - in fact, the girl had only reacted to Sivi and Alyssa's compliments so far.

"'Ray of Hope'...... What kind of mood did the Dean have in mind when he named this magic guide ship? Dorothy also looked up and said what was in her heart: "Maybe that's not the case...... However, I still think that the dean also hopes that this ship can bring hope to people, so he came up with this name! And isn't this the time to show the light of hope? ”

"That's right, and it's too bad to put all the blame on the girls." Riddle scratched his head, glanced at Tannis, lowered his head and said in unison: "So if something happens, we will also take responsibility, please be sure to agree to our request and save those innocent refugees!" ”

Not only the two of them, but also the rest of them, and even the students in the blue class who had been listening to them with their ears pricked up all the time, also shouted.

"If you take responsibility, count me in!" "Don't underestimate the consciousness of the blue class!" "I think so, too!"

The little goblin Woda looked around a little bewildered, and only sighed helplessly after the last moment.

"I really can't help it...... As I know, when you attract Iwabu Behemoth, Warda will try to get the refugees to safety. ”

"That's good."

Theo nodded slightly.

Then she got up from her chair and walked towards the bridge door.

Without a word, Camillo, Riddle, Tannis, Dorothy, Silwin, and Donald followed the girl and walked to the deck.

Obviously, they were still just young boys and girls, but Woda suddenly felt that their backs were very tall.

"Lord Edric...... The seeds you have sown have grown to the point where they are excellent trees that can stand on their own......" (To be continued......
