Monster Hunting Request
When Hikaru visited Mikhail, the professor was busy packing things into a huge backpack – big enough to fit in three Hikarus .
「Hikaru?」
「What’s up? You’re going back to Jarazack? Escaping debt?」
「No, I’m not! I’m not Professor Mille, okay?! Oh, you only arrived this year so you probably don’t know . You see, they get loose in the summer…」
「What, the screws in your head?」
「No! Monsters!」
「Hmm?」
「After a long winter, monsters start breeding in uninhabited lands . They grow big and turn savage in the summer . By the end of the season, they are hunted down . 」
「So, like culling monsters? Why not kill them before they grow big?」
「There’d be too many of them . It’s easier to fight them once they’ve matured enough . 」
「That sounds like a job for the army . 」
「They’ve got their hands full with border security . Forestia is adjacent to Quinbland, an empire we had a rough history with in the past, and Ponsonia, a kingdom that we’re currently not on good terms with . Also hunting these monsters is quite a profitable job . It’s popular among adventurers . 」
「The Adventurers Guild is managing it?」

「Yes . I’m an adventurer too, you know . 」
Mikhail took out his guild card . His rank, C, was written on it . Although the job cla.s.s field was left blank .
「Hahaha . You’re curious about my job cla.s.s? Unfortunately I can’t let you see—」
「When are you leaving?」
「Let me finis.h.!.+ Sheesh . I’m leaving today . 」
「Do you really have to go?」
「Not really… But this is something I look forward to every year . Adventurers from Quinbland and surprisingly even from Ponsonia are going this year . It’s a chance to exchange information with them . Most of all, I can fight with my life on the line . Since you’re asking, I take it you want something from me? So you finally want to attend my cla.s.ses—」
「Nope . There’s someone I’d like you to fight . 」
「You want a rematch?! You should’ve said so sooner . Man, I’ve been itching to—」
「Not me . A student from Kirihal . 」
「………」
「What?」
「If he’s from Kirihal, then he’s not one of my students . I’d rather spend my time heading to the border and fight some monsters . 」
「Man, all you think about is fighting . How long will it take for you to clean up those monsters?」
「By average, it takes about ten to twenty days . 」

「Then no . 」
「Why are you deciding how I spend my time?!」
Hikaru was sure the professor would say yes to a practice match . He just didn’t expect him to go out killing monsters . But he had a plan for this .
「In about ten days, said Kirihal student will travel to Jarazack to fight the king . 」
「What do you mean?」
「He plans to win, of course . I trained him, after all . 」
