All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 35

Not only the families of the B-Class students.

Some students from other classes also wanted Ian to come during the vacation.

Of course, he had no intention of going.

“If not, how about staying in the instructor’s dormitory? Let’s train. I’ll watch over you a bit.”

Aranse suggested with pity, but Ian coldly refused.

“Thank you for the offer, but I have a lot to do during the vacation.”

“Really? Ah. And one more thing.”

He stroked Myane, who was wriggling in his arms, and took out a notice.

“There’s a pre-Hero Festival party scheduled. The representative must attend, so take anyone you want if you don’t want to go alone. Since it’s a reconnaissance mission, it’s better to have someone you know well.”

“Anyone…… I understand.”

He parted ways with him and headed to the village.

After selling all the monster materials and returning to the dormitory, Ian was looking at the notice.

Ha-ryun, who came with high-end cookies, saw the notice on the table.

“What’s this? A pre-festival party? They’re having one this year too.”

“Really?”

“I went with Oerina last year. It was terribly boring. What kind of party is that? It’s a reconnaissance mission.”

“Ah. Is that so?”

“Hmm. Who are you going to take?”

“Well. Everyone must be busy preparing for the Hero Festival…… I feel bad asking them to make time.”

“Don’t worry about it and just take anyone. It’s a party, but it’s just a reconnaissance mission, so there won’t be any romance or anything.”

Ha-ryun was interested in the cookies and hugged Myane, who approached.

While Myane was quietly eating the cookies in his arms, Ian nodded.

“I really should just take anyone.”

Aranse, who became anyone by Ian, said with a reluctant expression.

“Why didn’t you try to pick up some girls this time?”

“The pre-festival party is a reconnaissance mission. It’s better to have someone who knows the opponent well to go with you. Ah. Or do you not know them well enough? Then you can go back.”

Himself and Kirke.

With their insight, Aranse wouldn’t be needed.

As Ian spoke indifferently, he shook his head.

“Who doesn’t know?”

The two, wearing student uniforms and instructor uniforms, entered the party hall where people were wearing 멋진 [meotjin – Korean for stylish or cool] tuxedos and dresses.

“Instructor Aranse?”

Hairuna, the representative of Intermediate F-Class, who was at the entrance of the party hall, was surprised to see Aranse.

She probably didn’t expect an instructor to come to the pre-festival party.

“Don’t worry about me and enjoy yourself.”

“Ah. Yes.”

She headed to the center of the party hall with the female student who came with her.

Ignoring those who were surprised to see them and going inside, the glances increased even more.

“Isn’t that the representative of Intermediate B-Class?”

“Don’t tell me he brought the instructor as a strategist?”

Upper, Intermediate, Lower.

As the representatives of each class whispered with those who came with them, Aranse frowned.

Toward him, Ian confidently said.

“Our B-Class is seriously aiming for victory in the Hero Festival right now.”

“That’s right…….”

“So, we can’t let them waste their physical and mental strength by participating in such a useless party.”

The homeroom instructor has almost nothing to do in the Hero Festival.

At best, it’s just controlling the class and managing safety in the Mियल Mountains.

That’s why he asked Aranse.

To participate instead so that the other kids could study a little more.

Aranse also responded to Ian’s request as much as he wanted to win the Hero Festival.

But actually coming, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to go back quickly.

“Anything must be done for victory.”

“Hmm. That’s right. Then let’s stay for a while and check on the kids before we go.”

Aranse and Ian.

Even though they were in the corner of the party hall, everyone kept glancing at them because of their presence.

At that time, the musicians’ performance began.

“We will now begin the Hero Festival pre-festival party. Today’s party is to commemorate the Hero Festival.”

The temporary student council president, wearing a tuxedo and standing on the platform.

Widra Venus, the former student council vice president who is also a 5-circle mage, declared, and everyone focused on him.

“Then please enjoy yourselves. Students.”

There weren’t many guys who were so naive as to enjoy themselves in this place.

Aranse, watching a few of the lower class students proudly dancing, took a sip of wine.

“I’m not a student, so I shouldn’t enjoy myself.”

Ian chuckled as Aranse grumbled.

Widra went down, and a few representatives and their partners began to dance formally.

Watching that, Aranse pointed to one side.

“That guy. Be careful. Willody Irits, the representative of Intermediate D-Class. He’s an excellent alchemist. You’ve learned the combat methods of alchemists, right?”

“Yes. They use special drugs and make traps, right?”

“That’s right. Especially in the Hero Festival, D-Class gets high scores in monster hunting. That’s thanks to him.”

Among the drugs she has, there is a drug that attracts monsters.

Using that, they summon a large number of monsters, and the students of D-Class catch them.

“It’s a dangerous method. The drug that Willody makes is so effective that it even summons A-rank monsters. And this time, the effect of that drug is said to be even better.”

“Then should we scout her and get some drugs?”

“Do you think she’ll be scouted [recruited to our side]?”

“Then should we raid her?”

“That’s a bit much…… It’s better to hit Willody during the survival test and take the drugs. If we have that, we can use the monsters to destroy the enemy’s formation or base.”

“Hmm…… Using monsters, huh.”

“Of course, it won’t be easy. Asset Palots, Willody’s partner over there, is a mage. If you only consider skill, she’s at a similar level to Willdy.”

She is a 4-circle mage who uses wind-based magic.

Even if you only consider the number of circles, she is equal to her, so you can never ignore her.

“And that’s the individual winner of the last Hero Festival. Pidas, the representative of A-Class.”

A handsome boy with dark blue hair was dancing with a silver-haired girl.

Watching that, Aranse slowly said.

“That guy’s uncle is the head of the Breakers, a faction right below the Sword Flower Group, the strongest in the Forest of Warriors.”

“Then does that mean he also belongs to the Breakers?”

“Yes. He uses martial arts and is quite good. And the important thing is that guy. He’s a summoner.”

He is a summoner and an expert-level martial artist.

Because of that, those who faced Pidas could not avoid struggling.

“He succeeded in summoning Aqua, the intermediate water spirit, a few days ago. You know how important securing water sources is during monster hunting and the survival test, right?”

The Hero Festival’s monster hunting and survival test last for a week.

During that time, you have to secure the 부족한 [bujeokhan – Korean for insufficient or lacking] food and water yourself, but being able to create water means you don’t have to waste time securing water sources.

“Using that, A-Class has always been in 1st or 2nd place in monster hunting and the survival test. Also, there is a mage in A-Class. Her name is Herina, who is his partner, and she can cast a barrier at Ha-ryun’s level.”

“I see.”

“Monster hunting is done separately by each class, but you know that the survival test is done together by all the intermediate classes, right?”

“Yes. And A-Class is said to act together during the survival test.”

Aranse nodded as Kirke told him the information he had obtained.

“That’s right. So, be careful when fighting A-Class. No matter how strong you are, it will be difficult to face all of them.”

Analyzing the opponent, he went to a secluded spot and gave the rest of the explanation about the remaining competitors.

“Well…… I think this is enough. There are still some unknown dark horses, but.”

“This is enough.”

His information and analysis were at Kirke’s level.

How much did he want to win the Hero Festival all this time?

As Ian admired the proper analysis, Aranse muttered in a desperate tone.

“I’m really confident this time. The scores during the semester aren’t bad either.”

Written exam.

Cooperative combat.

Monster hunting.

And the survival test.

The victory of the Hero Festival is determined by combining those and the scores that can be obtained during the semester.

B-Class has perfectly prepared all of these things.

That’s why Aranse clenched his fist tightly.

“This time, definitely…….”

“Do you want to become a senior instructor that much?”

“Huh? Of course.”

“Why? Because of money, power, and honor?”

“Huh? Haha. No, that’s. Actually…….”
