Chapter 71.2: Part 2

"You need to move."

"What's going on?"

Fron asked, tilting her head.

I nodded with a stern face.

"Yes, the targets are moving now."

"Really?!"

"I have no reason to lie to you. Mr. Samuel will join us soon."

Fron's face darkened as she realized that I was not lying.

"......It's finally starting."

"Yes."

A full-scale war between humans and demons.

It was the moment when the signal flare announcing its beginning was fired.

I gave the first instruction to the students.

"Hurry up and erase your traces. We must not let the humans know that we were here."

"I understand."

The students covered the grass where they had been sitting and swept away their footprints with branches.

Next was the weapon inspection.

The students took out their weapons and checked them for any abnormalities.

'All preparations are complete.'

Swish.

I muttered as I touched the mask on my face.

All that remains is a clash with the humans.

"I will stay outside the Secret Realm and deal with the human instructor. You guys go into the Secret Realm and attack the exhausted human students."

"Is it true that a human instructor has come here?"

"Yes."

When Luna asked in a frightened voice, I nodded my head.

"He's stronger than Instructor Ares. I can't guarantee victory either."

"That's impossible......."

Luna's face turned white at the explanation that he was stronger than Ares.

Ares was a instructor who was in the upper ranks of Sytan's instructors.

Among the instructors in charge of the first year, Ares was the strongest man, along with Idea.

However, it was surprising to hear that a human stronger than him was coming.

'If she heard that a student stronger than Besaha was accompanying them, she would faint from surprise.'

While I was dealing with Besaha alone, the students had to deal with Terias.

In fact, if the two forces clashed, it would be Sytan's side that couldn't avoid annihilation.

The only thing I could believe was that assuming the original story progressed as it should, Terias would be late to join.

So I had to deal with Besaha as quickly as possible and join them.

'Just hold on until then.'

Well, it was unknown whether I could defeat Terias even if I went.......

It was in the middle of me making a very worried expression.

Puck!

Sijo was flapping its wings and flying towards me.

I suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Finally, Samuel, who had finished his reconnaissance, returned with Sijo.

I waved my hand at the two of them.

"Are you here?"

"Yeah, you must already know that the humans are coming?"

"Yes, I shared Sijo's vision."

"......It seems it's time to enter the Secret Realm."

"It's really starting."

Samuel figured out the situation as soon as he arrived.

Sytan's students had already finished preparing to enter the Secret Realm.

"Even without that, I was having trouble because I couldn't open the gate since Mr. Samuel didn't come."

"......Didn't you send me by yourself?"

Grit-.

I changed the subject at Samuel's grinding voice.

"Please keep Sijo, Mr. Samuel. I need to share its vision."

"I understand. Are you planning on facing the instructor alone like you said yesterday?"

"Yes, it's something I have to do."

"......It won't be easy by yourself. Will you be okay?"

A worried voice.

I shrugged my shoulders at that.

"I have to do it even if I can't. If the students and instructor over there work together, the probability of winning will decrease significantly."

We're students too, but that goes for the humans as well.

It was their first real battle, and most of them would be greatly flustered if they were ambushed.

There was a world of difference between having an instructor to command them and not having one.

Even if that wasn't the case, I had to prevent the two of them from joining forces as long as Terias was there.

I was simply chosen for that role.

After a while, Samuel, who had been staring at me with a strange look in his eyes, opened his mouth.

"......Don't die."

"I'll try my best."

I could have teased him for worrying about me unnecessarily, but the situation was too urgent to joke around.

I wiped away my smile for the first time in a long time and nodded with a serious expression before whispering to Samuel.

"Beware of the human with golden hair and copper-colored skin."

"Noted."

He also seemed to have noticed Terias' strength, so he listened to my words.

Samuel then walked past me and placed his hand on the gate.

Click-.

"I shall open the entrance to the Secret Realm."

That was the moment.

Streams of mana began to emanate from Samuel's hand and manipulate the door to the Secret Realm.

Was it because he had already done it once?

Samuel opened the door to the Secret Realm in just over ten seconds.

Rumble.......

The Secret Realm opened with a loud noise.

As all of Sytan's students entered the Secret Realm, the door to the Secret Realm closed again.

Left alone outside, I—

'Designate.'

I extended an arrow towards the tree with the thickest foliage.

'Move.'

And after my body settled on the tree.

A few minutes passed.

The human students and the instructor appeared in my field of vision.
