Episode 20 Members of the Great Exercise

　It's been a month since Amane and Alisa started training in the dungeon. The seasons have changed, and the time to start the winter great exercises is approaching.

　Amane talks to Yukari while preparing to go to the classroom.

"Who will Yukari team up with in the great exercise?"

"I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll pair with Amane?"

　Amane looks happy. Amane is a Bestowal Wizard. She is an unpopular Wizard, although not as much as a Life Wizard.

"Thank you. Can Alisa also join the team?"

"It's okay, but isn't the balance bad with an Attack Wizard, Bestowal Wizard, and an Analysis Wizard?"

"It's enough for the force ..."

"I want a handsome magician like Kurotsuki-senpai."

"That's impossible. Most of the magicians in our class are like Ninomiya or Kishi-kun."

　I don't want to work with Ninomiya, who is talking arrogantly that he has reached magic level 3. However, in the great exercise, a team of four people is supposed to be formed. If the number of people is not enough, the teacher will forcibly include the surplus people, so it is better to form a team voluntarily.

　Amane heads to the classroom while talking to Yukari. Alisa was reading her book in the classroom.

"Alisa, let's form a team for the great exercise"

　Alisa nodded to Amane's suggestion.

"Thank you. I look forward to working with you"

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

　Yukari also approached.

"Hey, it's okay because you know each other's abilities, but I don't. What can you do?"

　Yukari wants to know the power of Amane and Alisa.

"In the giant tree dungeon, we went up to the sixth layer. I learned 3 new life magics and reached magic level 4."

"Wait a minute. Amane is a Bestowal Wizard. What happened to the bestowal magic?"

　Amane looks away.

"It's not bad. What about Alisa? You learned some analytical magic."

"I learned 'Mana'."

　Yukari stares at Alisa.

"That's all?"

"Because if it's life magic, if you ask Grimm-Sensei, he will tell you in detail. It can't be helped that life magic becomes the focus."

"No, what will you do when you're second years? There's only one year of life magic lessons."

　Amane who heard it sharpened her mouth.

"I'm dissatisfied with that. It's okay to have a life magic class for two years. You think so, right?"

　Alisa nodded to Amane's question.

"That's true. Life magic is profound, but it's only taught for one year."

　At that time, Kishi came by.

"Hey, have you decided on a team for the great exercise?"

"I decided to work with these three people. We're still looking for the last one."

　Kishi sighed.

"With three girls, one man is impossible. I'll look for another group."

"Then I'll join in."

　Ninomiya yelled from where he was. Amane who heard it replied.

"No Thank You. I want the last one to be another girl."

"Tsk, I'm telling you we should work together, don't regret it."

　When Ninomiya leaves, the three are relieved.

"It's better to decide the fourth person quickly. I'd like a Muscle Wizard, but who was a female Muscle Wizard?"

　Amane asked them. Yukari tilted her head, so Alisa replies.

"That would be Chika Mifune-san or Hiyori Mudou-san"

　Amane decided to invite them. But, Mudou had already decided who to partner with.

"Mifune-san, have you decided who you want to team with for the great exercise?"

"No, not yet"

　Chika Mifune was a student with a unique atmosphere. She seems to be part of a kendo dojo at home, and she feels like a natural swordsman.

　Amane invited her to join.

"Kimishima-san, the Attack Wizard, is good, Mori-san is a Bestowal Wizard, and Yuuki-san is an Analysis Wizard. Isn't it lacking in terms of force?"

　Alisa denied her concerns.

"Don't worry. Amane and I are learning how to fight with life magic from Grimm-Sensei. We can fight well."

"Huh, how to fight using life magic? That's interesting. It's okay. Let's build it once."

　We waited for the team members to be decided and the winter exercises to begin.

　A few days before the great exercise, after the precautions for the great exercise were explained in the classroom, we were told to decide who would lead the team. Instructors are selected from active adventurers hired by the teachers and the academy.

　Amane asked Karina, who was asking hopefully.

"Sensei, as for Grimm-Sensei, isn't he a good choice?"

　Karina tilted her head.

"Grimm-Sensei is an adventurer of rank G. The grassland dungeon for the great exercise is a beginner dungeon, but strong monsters may come out."

"It's okay. He said that he had defeated the dungeon boss of the giant tree dungeon alone."

　Karina nodded as if she was impressed. However, Ninomiya stood up and disagreed.

"It's a lie! Life Wizards can't beat the dungeon boss."

　Amane glared at Ninomiya.

"You don't have to deny it so desperately. What do you know about Grimm-Sensei?"

　As Ninomiya was yelling, Karina calmed them down.

"Be quiet. If it's okay with Mori-san and the others, I'll talk to Grimm-Sensei."

"Thank you."

　Amane and Alisa were delighted. Chika tilts her head and asks.

"Why did you choose Grimm-Sensei?"

　Alisa answered proudly.

"Because you can count on him.”
