During the morning assembly, the vice principal made an announcement.
“As you all know, this school is surrounded by magic called ‘thirstlessness’, which means that even if you don’t drink water, you don’t have to worry about it!
There’s an outside contractor coming in for three days starting today to work on this magic!
We’ll be working in the living quarters and the forest, so don’t get in the way!”
I didn’t know yet.
That this is my first test in this school, the Seven Days of Fire.
That, premonition.
From the principal and vice principal, to being the last declaration of war …….
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◆
The first day of “Seven Days of Fire”.
I woke up much earlier than usual, so I organized my materials and rechecked my own status.
My current level is 17, but looking back at the professions I’ve gained in the past, I’ve found that there are quite a few new skills.
“That new skill looks pretty good, I’ll have to try it out in class today.”
I thought it was time to go, so I went outside to get ready for school.
As we walked through the forest, a loud alarm rang out from the castle, the school building.
“I’m the headmaster of the Royal Pioneer Academy, Nekodran!
I hereby declare a state of emergency in my name!
From now on, for the next seven days, no teaching or exploration will be done!
Students, you are forbidden to leave your living quarters at all!”
“Declaring a State of Emergency” ……!
It can be issued by the chief executive officer of the academy when the academy is in a crisis.
For example, if a dangerous monster such as a dragon is confirmed in the vicinity, or if there is a conflict with the indigenous people, or if a plague spreads.
I hurried to the living quarters to see what happened.
But heavily armed guards were posted around the living quarters, and shields like an iron wall blocked me.
And if you look closely, those soldiers were classmates.
One person looks at me through his shield and smirks.
“‘Heh, you surprised me, you piece of trash.
We’ve been mobilized as the SS to declare this state of emergency.
If you perform your duties well, the headmaster will recommend you for the Kingsguard.”
“The SS has been delegated considerable authority.
I could have you beaten to death for trying to enter the living quarters.”
For once, I might be on the wrong side of the fence.
There are ten opponents, and they are fully armed.
Besides, if we let these guys get into the living quarters, the real guards will just rush in.
I guess I’ll just have to back off quietly here. ……
Then I saw two schoolgirls rushing towards me from the residential area.
It is, after all, or rather, the people that I know.
“Leo-kun!” “Master!”
When the state of emergency was declared, the two of them were the first to worry about me.
But I was being thwarted by the SS, who treated them much more politely than I was treated.
“Monaka-sama, Kotone-sama, please return!
Especially during a declared state of emergency, you’ll need to follow our instructions!
Violating instructions can lead to a downgrade!”
However, this is not an opponent that such threats can be used against.
“Then, if I accept the rank down, may I go to Leo-kun’s house! If that’s the case, I’m willing to …… go as far as you want.
The SS clicks its tongue, “Tsk!”
One of them suddenly said something like this.
“Yes, ……, we’re above the students now, aren’t we?
Besides, you’re given the power to order your students around, right ……?”
“Well, then I can do whatever I want with these two!
All we have to do is cover our trash with it!”
“Great, we can clean up and the trash can be cleaned up ……, two birds with one stone!
I rolled my tongue.
To be able to think of something so instantly ghastly is a kind of talent, you might say.
