NOVEL NEXT chapter 9
9 – Before the Storm…!
To be honest, I was pretty upset.
It’s not just hitting people with words.
Running away without even apologizing was, no matter how you think about it, a very wrong thing.
Because of that, I was thinking of receiving an apology as an absolute must.
If I didn’t apologize, I felt like I would have no choice but to use pretty tough measures.
Even if I had to tell Rise, the principal, I had no intention of just passing this on.
I thought so…
“Huh… I’m sorry. I made a mistake. I’m guilty of a mortal sin. Please take a look.”
Seria apologized to me much faster than expected.
As soon as I stared at her, Seria knelt down and bowed her head, and she began crying and begging me. She
She explained everything she did and why she did it herself. They said it was because they came quickly because I wanted to see them or something.
“I was wrong. Mr. Alan.”
He was desperate to get my forgiveness somehow.
“Hmm…”
Seria apologized and admitted her own fault much sooner than I expected.
I was worried for a while while watching Seria.
Of course, Seria thought she wouldn’t apologize to me, but unlike her appearance, she seemed quite soft-hearted.
The apology was also very sincere, and if you look at that behavior…
As expected, it was enough to accept the apology.
“It’s okay. Stand up.”
“Are you forgiving me…?”
“You shouldn’t do that next time… And if you’re sorry, listen carefully to the teacher from now on.”
“Yes… I understand, sir.”
Well, anyone can make mistakes.
I think the important thing is whether or not you admit your mistakes.
If you look at Seria in that way, she was quite a proper woman, unlike the other women I know.
Because he knew how to apologize right away and showed an attitude of self-reflection.
And I wasn’t a petty person who couldn’t tolerate mistakes like that.
So there was nothing I couldn’t forgive.
I eventually forgave Seria, and only then did Seria look happy.
Just what, a well-resolved situation.
It was a situation that was surprisingly well resolved.
“Whoa… Something… Something is happening…”
“Huh…?”
But…
The eyes of Riden and Luna watching this were a bit strange.
Perhaps it was a look that misunderstood something.
“Guys… I don’t know what you guys are thinking… But it’s not like that.”
“Eh…”
This misunderstanding lasted quite a while.
Fortunately, he explained it well and solved it.

Immediately after accepting Seria’s apology, I also conducted Seria’s skill test.
The rules were the same as when dealing with Luna and Liden.
I fought a duel with only one effective hit required.
And the result was, of course, my victory.
In Seria’s case, since she is a descendant of a noble family of swordsmanship, she had much more practical experience than Riden and Luna.
I pushed myself quite hard in the process, but it still fell far short.
“Wow… Teacher Alan. You are so strong. This is a warrior party…!”
She is a swordsman with a total of 5 attribute blessings.
Water, fire, wind, electricity, and earth used the five blessings to strengthen the sword and drive me…
Seria eventually collapses.
Because I was the one who sparred with the swordsman of the warrior party every day.
For me, who was dealing with such a monster, Seria was a very easy opponent.
“Hmm… Yes, I saw your skills well.”
Anyway, I’ve had a duel with all the members of the special class, and got a rough idea of their skills.
And I figured out all the great points and shortcomings.
“So… Mr. Alan, how about us?”
“Umnya…”
“I also… Want to hear the teacher’s evaluation…!”
When I called the three of them and said it, Luna’s eyes still looked sleepy and bothered, but the eyes of the children except for Luna’s eyes twinkled.
It seemed like they were expecting a lot from my evaluation.
‘Hmm… To be honest… To be honest…’
To be honest, their skills were of course very disappointing for me, who played a warrior party not too long ago.
I have a lot of talent, but I can’t use it properly.
If I had been at the warrior party, I would have been criticized a lot.
However, that was an evaluation based on the warrior party.
Of course, I don’t apply that standard.
“It’s pretty good. Maybe later you’ll be much stronger than me.”
Considering that they were still academy students, they were excellent students by so many standards.
I am realizing that it is definitely a talent.
All three were geniuses with enormous potential.
And it must be my role to make such a great student into an even better student.
“Wow…! I heard compliments.”
“hehehe… Sir Alan’s praise…”
“Ummm…”
Students happy to hear my praise.
Liden was normally delighted, Luna was still sleepy as if troubled, and in Seria’s case, she jumped up and was delighted.
“So, why don’t you go to the dungeon as a lesson to gain experience?”
I made a suggestion to those students.
Let’s go to a place called a dungeon.
“A dungeon?”
“…?”
And at those words, Liden and the other children were startled.
Since the word dungeon is not a light word…
“Yes. Dungeons.”
“The dungeon… It’s very dangerous, isn’t it…? That must be a place where students at the academy are never allowed to enter…”
In fact, a dungeon is a place that even really skilled adventurers do not dare to approach.
Once you enter, you cannot come out until you clear it.
What might be lurking inside the dungeon?
Dungeons were the places where so many people lost their lives after trying fearlessly.
“It won’t matter because I have it.”
Well, of course I’ve cleared a lot of dungeons like that.
While having a warrior party, I went to a place called a dungeon, of course, until I got tired of it.
“And, I won’t take you guys to such a dangerous dungeon. Don’t worry.”
Also, I’ll take a dungeon that’s really easy.
You cannot know what is inside a dungeon until you enter it, but you can still measure the magic that the dungeon exudes from outside the dungeon.
You can tell how strong a dungeon is based on that measurement, but I was thinking of taking it to a really easy dungeon.
“Sensei… If you say so… Well, Sensei is a member of the hero’s party.”
“Ummm…”
“I believe in Teacher Alan…!”
Fortunately, at my words, the students spat out positive words.
I was worried about what to do if I said I wouldn’t go because I was scared.
It didn’t seem like there was such a worry.
But…
One problem remained.
“But Mr. Alan, would Mr. Rize approve?”
“Huh…?”
“I don’t think you’ll allow it…”
“Hmm…”
The problem was that I had to get permission from Rize, the principal of the academy.
@ @ @
Basically, the academy doesn’t want to take students to dungeons.
You don’t know what will happen to the children in the dangerous dungeon.
If that happens, the academy will take full responsibility.
In many ways, the dungeon was too dangerous.
‘Haa… Ok. Okay. I’ll let you…’
That’s why it took a really long time to convince them.
After persuading Zhang Zhang for an hour, I was finally allowed to go to the dungeon with the children.
‘But really unconditionally go only to dungeons that are clearly verified by the guild and are below grade C.’
‘Children must be protected no matter what. Know?’
‘You shouldn’t hurt even the tip of your real hair…! If it’s necessary, you have to act right away.’
‘I won’t let you go if you get hurt.’
Of course, I didn’t just get permission.
The conditions under which I received permission from Rize were as follows.
Only go to dungeons below grade C that have been verified by the guild.
And children must be protected unconditionally.
Never expose yourself to any danger.
He gave me permission after forcing many promises.
Of course, no one will actually send you to the dungeon just because you made those promises, but…
‘Really… I would never allow another academy teacher to say something like that… But it’s because of you.’
I think the fact that I’m Alan, the tank of the warrior’s party, played a big role.
As for level C dungeons, I’ll be able to resolve the situation myself.
That’s why I entrusted it to you.
Anyway, since I got permission like this, I should go to the dungeon responsibly, right?
“It must be C-class, right?”
“Yes. That’s right. If you look at the magic you can feel, it’s definitely a C-class dungeon.”
I took the students and went straight to the guild.
And then I started looking for a c-class dungeon, and finally found a suitable c-class dungeon.
A place about 10km away in the northern part of the academy, a dungeon just happened to appear there.
It may seem a bit far to go and come back for a day trip, but…
Well, that was fine.
This would be great.
“Okay. Then we’ll take it.”
“Yes…!”
I raised Luna, Liden, and Seria as party members, and the guild approved it.
And our party was officially commissioned.
“Wow… I became a party member. A dungeon…!”
“Partying with Allan from the Warriors’ Party… I should make this an heirloom…”
“mmm…”
When I gave the party membership cards to the students, as expected, Luna was calm.
Leeden and Seria were very happy.
“Let’s go guys.”
I took those students and headed straight to the dungeon.
That’s how the students enter the dungeon.
I suddenly had an idea.
‘Does this feel like a warrior’s party?’
Something like this made me think of the past for a moment.
I don’t know why I remembered it.
It was just me who had a warrior party a while ago… Maybe it’s like that?
‘What are they doing now?’
As I remembered it, I suddenly became curious.
What would the Warriors Party be like without me?
Seeing as how many days I’ve left the party and still haven’t been looking for me… It looks like not only Raina, but the party members agreed to release me, too.
I was a little curious about Lunge, who would have saved other party members by now.
‘I’m sure he’s doing well on his own.’
But well, it wasn’t something I had to worry about after I had already left the warrior party.
I wasn’t even that friendly with the party members at the warrior’s party anyway.
Since Raina said she was good at it, even thinking about it made no sense to her.
I just had to forget about the warrior party and live my own life.

Meanwhile, at the warrior party…
