37. Meeting at Summer Camp [5] -part 1

I followed Leia-sensei and was led to her room

The room was surprisingly tidy and there were no clothes thrown around.

?Well, just take a look at this first. It’s faster to see the actual thing than to explain it?

sensei said, taking out a brown envelope from the desk.

?Classified?was printed on the surface.

?And this is…??

?It’s a report from the Holy Knights Association that came in just a while ago. There’s quite a lot, so just quickly skim through.?

?Understood…?

I took the report out of the open brown envelope and looked through it.

Regarding the incident that occurred in Carlos district of Veneria.

Noon, July 1st: As a result of the investigation, the 50 people detained were found to be assassins from the Holy Ronelia Empire. This can be concluded from the seized distinct black equipment. They possessed spirit pills, and as such it is clear that the Holy Ronelia Empire has some relationship with the?Black Organization?.

Evening, July 1st: Due to the side effects of the spirit pill, their condition suddenly changed. The Veneria branch’s standing relief team was unable to correspond. Therefore, it was decided to transfer them to a nearby major hospital in secret.

Night, July 1st: During transportation, due to an assault from an unknown figure who appeared all of a sudden, all fifty men were killed. Their bodies were burned, which seems to be a measure to conceal information.

?They were murdered…??

?Aa. Most likely an assassin sent by the Holy Ronelia Empire or the Black Organization. The trusted Holy Knights who were in charge of security during the transfer – all seemed to be knocked out.?

Sensei shrugged her shoulders and continued further.

?As a result of on-site inspection, some suspicious footprints were found near the beach house. Aside from the group who attacked you, another small group might have been hiding.?

?A small group…??

Sensei nodded.

?I’m sure this incident is a combat experiment using spirit pill. In doing so, the enemy prepared two groups. A small group that collects the observed data and fifty sacrificial pawns.?

?S-?Sacrificial Pawns?… they treat human life so lightly…?

?The masterminds behind this incident, are inhumane guys. – You should be careful too.?sensei concluded with an advice.

?But why only me? Don’t you have to tell Ria, Rose, the president and the rest??

?That’s because you – no, nevermind.?

?……??

?Well anyway – adults have their own reasons and circumstances. I decided that it was better to tell you alone. Naturally, you can’t say a word about this to anyone else.?

?Is that so… Understood…?

I’m not really convinced, but…

It didn’t seem like she would tell me more about this even if I asked, so I simply nodded for the time being.

?But the current situation is not too much to worry about. And you certainly don’t have to worry when I’m around. I am fairly capable after all.?

?Thank you.?

I have heard a lot about sensei’s true strength recently.

It is very reassuring if she says so.

?Alright, that’s all. Sorry to keep you up so late. The training camp will continue tomorrow! So, sleep well and get in good shape!?

?Yes, then – Goodnight, sensei.?

?Aa, night.?

Then I left Leia-sensei’s room.

?

After that, games and training were repeated single-mindedly for the next four days – today is the last day of the joint summer camp.

We dragged our tired bodies and gathered at Ferris-san’s private beach as usual.

Then Leia-sensei, Ferris-san, and the president, stood in front of everyone.

?Well, gentlemen! You did well to endure through a tough but fun summer camp!?sensei said.

?Thank you so much, I think you all really worked hard.?Ferris-san said.

?And this being the last day – let’s play to our heart’s content!?

And when the president said so,

?Hooray! We can finally jump into the sea!?

?It was pretty tough this year, but… I’m happy from the bottom of my heart that we’re finally liberated…?

?Yahoo! Let’s play till we drop!?

There were loud cheers from both students of Thousand Blade Academy and Ice King Academy.

Everyone was very happy, but…

To be honest, I was slightly… No, I was pretty disappointed.

(It’s over already… I wanted to train more together with everyone…)

It’s fun to swing the sword quietly alone. But it’s more fun when we swing it together. -Same as how meals taste better with company.

And as I dropped my shoulders,

?Nee nee, Allen-kun! Do you have a minute??

?To compete with that Sid while being a first-year student… you’re really amazing!?

?T-Thank you.?

I was surrounded by female students who seemed to be seniors at Ice King Academy.

(This might be a good opportunity.)

There was something that I am a little worried about, so I decided to ask.

?Come to think of it, is the student council president of Ice King Academy on break? I don’t think I saw them during the training camp…?

?Aa- about that. Our president does not like hot weather. He might be at a summer resort in the north right about now, I think??

?The vice-president and secretary should be there too. Those two cling to the president at all times.?

?Hee, is that so…?

That means that at this summer training camp, the Ice King Academy lacked three people who were held important positions.

(So that’s why we were able to take the lead, I have to work a little harder from here on…)

As I was thinking about that alone,

?Waa, you have a good body!?

?Sugoi! So muscular!?

?Eh, ah, wait…!??

Two people who were standing beside me, began to touch my abs in a curious manner.

The sensation of slender fingers running along my skin… felt ticklish.

And then,

?H-Hey! You’re troubling our Allen!?

?Don’t touch him!?

?R-Ria, Rose!??

The two brushed aside the seniors of Ice King Academy and grabbed my hands tightly.

?Hey! We’re going, Allen!?

?Let’s go enjoy the sea.?

?A-Ah, okay.?

Then, for some reason, I was taken by the two who were in a bad mood, and headed towards the beach.

?Un… it’s really pretty.?

?Yes, there aren’t such beautiful seas in my country.?

?The water is so clear that you can see the bottom.?

The sea that I saw everyday during the games and training, and looking at it now with a calm presence of mind – it truly was beautiful.

?Now, what should we play??

Many students were already doing what they wanted at the beach.

A student fishing on the shore.

A student building a sand castle.

A student splashing water in shallow waters.

Everyone was enjoying the last day of the summer camp to the fullest.

?Well, I just thought about it – how about this!??

Ria took out three floating rings in a deflated state that she had been holding in her hands.

?…Floating rings??

?Un! I borrowed it from the president this morning! Let’s swim together with this!?

?There is also sea breeze, so it will surely feel good!?

?I see, that’s a nice idea.?

Then, we inflated the floats and slowly entered the sea.

?Oo, it’s a little different from river water!?

The water felt a bit like?sticking to the skin?.

?Nn, it’s cold!?

?Feels so good.?

The two, who had experienced the sea several times, seemed to enjoy the?coldness? rather than the?feel of the water?.

?So, which way should we go??

?First of all, let’s go a little farther from here!?

?Sounds good!?

?Yoshi, let’s do that!?

After that, we swam to a depth where we needed to rely on the floating rings, and we talked about various stories while being jolted by the waves.
