575 573 Off-campus (1/2)

”You've got longer lanes than I imagined.”

”Mm-hmm. Lots of carriages”

”Off”

To my whining, which leaked by accident, Fran and Ursi muttered to agree.

Now we're outside Lady Blue, about 20 meters up. A flan across a salabled-sized wolf overlooks a long line of carriages.

It's off-campus survival practice today. Travel to Lake Vivian with 40 carriages, including for the transport of materials.

More than 200 students will participate, and 30 of their escort instructors will accompany them. In Fran's case, he is given a guerrilla role and responds if a dangerous warcraft emerges while looking at the whole thing.

Conversely, in the case of miscellaneous fish, the students were supposed to deal with it, so they were not supposed to serve it.

Superior classmates, such as special warfare classes, take turns while escorting carriages. Some students just barely got off the carriage to their destination and were escorted all the way.

As a matter of fact, there are about 30 new students accompanying this off-campus survival internship. This seems to be a college tradition, and students in special war classes also experience it when they enroll.

Even on Earth, there was a joint forestry school with upper classmates or something, and I guess it's an event close to that.

Now one of the carriages with the front removed saw Karna colluding with her classmates.

One carriage carries three freshmen and three upper classmen. However, the upper classmates are always in the form of two escorts outside the carriage, taking turns to rest.

Carnas' carriage escort is Caronas' squad. Well, if you can't deal with it in those caronas, there will be instructors on your stand, and if you still can't, there will be Fran and Wiener Lane.

”Well, here we go, too.”

”Mm. Ursi”

”On-one!”

I'm going to get on the Ursi for a while and be on guard from above.

As Ursi ran out by the air leap, I could see the students under my eyes looking up at this one.

It doesn't look that way when a giant wolf kicks in the sky and runs. Ursi is particularly splendid, and I'm sure it's a painting.

”The smaller one looks more troublesome to get out of the walrus than just one big one”

”Like goblins?

”The rest would be bandits, bug-type herds,”

Besides, it would be catastrophic if a big warcraft were to get into it. The one who looks strong might want to destroy it early.

”Don't let the enemy get away with it.”

”Mmm!”

”On!”

6 hours from departure.

The lanes pass the first berth and are entering the forest zone from the plains. From here, the outlook is very poor, and we need to be more vigilant than ever.

It can be described as a difficulty for the students of the escort. Obviously I could see the overall tension growing.

Fran says he's a little off the train now. It's not like he's gone, is it?

I'm rather at work.

”Ha!

”Giggy! Giggy!

They are fighting the warcraft that live in the forest. The opponent is Tor Tor Mantis. An unusually long hand and foot, a giant kamakiri. Whereas my body is 7 or 8 meters, I would have more than 10 meters of feet. It is a Warcraft of Threat E that makes use of its hands and feet to move cleverly over the deep trees.

I guess I felt signs and smells of a lot of prey moving around. It was getting pretty fast, so Fran went out for an interception.

Unusual for Warcraft, he possesses a martial arts skill called Sickle Arts. Oh, my God, he showed me the art of taking Fran's first shot with a sickle. Though the restraint you unleashed to measure the opponent's power, it's something you do inside.
