NOVEL NEXT chapter 49
49. Group assignments here too?
The school trip must be over, and the academy is again covered with screams from students.
Suddenly approaching exams. And before that, various tasks that strangle the neck.
But the thing that makes students the most difficult is—
“Mister! I want to ask you something!”
“What is it?”
“I did something called a group assignment, but all the students hate it! What the hell is a group assignment, is everyone doing that?! Wouldn’t it be nice to do it together?!”
Ah. Will that finally come? All students must hate it. Lethe clicked her tongue.
Why does everyone at the academy bring it up when they’re bored? I don’t think I’ve ever seen the people I really like.
“Ashu. You and the other students have to lift the log. But what happens when a group of people lift a log? Will everyone work hard to lift the log? Or not….”
“Of course, everyone works hard to lift!”
“Yes. Be sure to do something modest one by one… Huh?”
What is it? Of course, wouldn’t it be hard?! I thought the answer would come out?
As Lete blinked her eyes, Astaroth heehee! She laughed and came up with an answer to him.
“Because if I find a guy who doesn’t work hard, I’ll pull his head out!”
“….”
Wow. You’re going to work really hard on that. Huh. I will work hard. This is a peaceful world. hahahaha.
Kong!―
“Quack!”
“How many times can you tell me? Please stop talking about harvesting the head.”
“I don’t do it in front of my kids!?”
“A gourd that leaks from the inside won’t leak from the outside either. Just always be careful, please.”
“But Mister! If not, who works hard?! Everyone won’t try to hear each other! It’s my instinct not to do it unless one or two people cause problems!”
“Yes. That’s right.”
This time, instead of Honey Balm, Lethe continued by stroking her hair.
“That log is the group task. We all have to do it together, but I can’t do it alone! The guys who do it always come out. But just because you don’t lift it doesn’t mean you can’t pull out your hair.”
“Uh… So, is it really that bad?”
“Yes.”
“Is it something that kids hate?”
“Don’t you hate it too?”
“Yes. No. Then uncle Why are you doing that?”
“… Okay.”
I’m curious too. Why are you doing it It’s not a university, it’s an academy.
But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having group assignments in a world with school trips.
*
Professors conducting group assignments. The reason they put it out is probably this.
To improve the awkward friendship. Or to foster mutual cooperation. This much.
However, it is strange that cooperation works well when strangers unite together to improve an awkward relationship.
No matter what you do, it’s a problem. Students who do also have problems. It’s a problem that’s best not to do. Nevertheless, what exists and progresses, to borrow the words of Lete, yes. Could it be the fate of the academy students?
“Students. From now on, we will start drawing lots to organize the team. Aren’t you really curious who you will be in the same group with?”
hahahaha! A professor smiling and holding out a lottery box he made himself.
Why do you seem to be the only one having fun? Most of the students are already stressed out by exams, assignments, and everything.
What the hell are you doing? Do you really have to do this? And why did I call you?
Lethe, who suddenly volunteered as an observer for the fairness of the lottery, let out a sigh.
The fortunate thing is that the nobles are the nobles, so they cooperate at least. There will be no such thing as trying to get a free ride like anyone else in the world and exploding together.
“The crew will consist of a total of eight people! After each person draws one, show the paper to me and Instructor Lette in the back! Ruler! From the students here!”
What kind of topic are eight people forming? It would be very convenient if you roughly tie it to three or four. I wonder if you don’t know the saying that if there are many sailors, the boat goes to the mountain.
When students pick their own one by one, their names are written on each group.
Of course, demon lords and warriors began to be used one by one.
‘Oh, wait. No way.’
[ Astaroth, Michaela, Marmar, Sellafi ]
There was only one thought in Lethe’s head until then. Isn’t this really true?
The Demon King and the Hero. Those with very complex twisted fates. Souls who are born with something they have no choice but to encounter in the end no matter where they are or how they do it.
Still, I thought it had faded a lot now. With no more quarrels or wars, I thought that fate would all crumble and disappear.
[ Sitri, Haniel ]
… Could it be that the professor was aiming? To make sure that only the devil and the warriors are put in the same group by giving them a separate sheet. Yes, it could be! It could be… There will be no sh*t. Does that make sense
[ L, meta ]
Finally, after the last two seats were filled, the spectacle just unfolded.
Four demon lords and four warriors in one group. A total of eight characters were seated in a group as if a match had been drawn.
Is this really possible? The lottery is no child’s play. How many cases are there, but how can those eight people knit together as if they were knit! Do you mean you can get together?
‘My kids are fine now, and a lot of the warriors have been released, so nothing really could happen. Still….’
Still, being anxious is being anxious. Because it’s a warrior and a demon king. Even with a 1% chance, the moment they collide, it will never end quietly.
Does that goddamn destiny really exist, or is it that, please, the two groups are very eager to fight.
‘Children. You can do it. Even fate can be overcome! You guys are getting to know each other now!’
I believe you guys. Become a demon king and a warrior who overcomes group challenges and destiny!
*
The demon king and the warriors are united in one group. A few months ago, we might have been very awkward with each other. As soon as we met, we might have been very wary of each other and growled.
But not now. There is no reason for that. Now we’ve gotten a lot closer to each other, and above all, I don’t think there’s anything to be wary of.
However, it seems that he still hasn’t given up on that fate.
And after a while. The topic of this group task fell before them.
“It is to select one great person of the empire, investigate and announce it.”
“It shouldn’t be too difficult.”
Anyway, when it comes to selecting great people, most of them have a fixed list.
I can’t dare to mention the emperors in this kind of assignment, I’ll just pick a few people who worked alongside the great emperors and set them as the subject of the assignment.
The warriors each thought that way and tried to come up with a suitable person they thought of-
“This is Mr.”
“Isn’t that your older brother?”
“The owner is perfect.”
“… Lethe.”
Anyway, the thoughts of the demon kings were completely different from those of the warriors.
“Hey, kids? From the fact that the subject of this task is the selection of great people, it is to investigate people who have passed some time. You know because I went to the academy for several months. Obsessed with the past. Therefore-“
“Uncle.”
Sella Phi tried to convince the demon lords first, but she did nothing.
“Ashu, I understand your feelings! I also think that you are a great man of the empire! But there must be a topic the professor wants, and to get a grade for that lecture….”
“Let’s go with my older brother.”
Haniel, who was trying to convince me with the point of being a professor, had to back down.
“Wouldn’t Lord Lethe feel burdened? There is still not much known about him, so choosing a simple topic can be a bit risky.”
“Yes. No. I know my master very well.”
Mikaela, who presented it as a reason for lack of information, frowned at Sitri’s answer.
“El do whatever you want.”
“… Thank you.”
In the meantime, it seemed that the negotiations had already ended with Meta and L, who were strangely well matched.
“Haa-“
In the end, Michaela let out a sigh and chatted with the warriors for a while. Looking at the situation, it seemed that our demon lords were determined to make the selection of a great person even if they died.
Even if I let go of the fishing ground here, it won’t work. I will only hurt you again. We’ve become friends at best, but I don’t want to be far from each other again.
‘And….’
‘Honestly, we want to know more about Sir Lethe.’
‘Because the demon kings know more about you than we do!’
They may know a new side of the war hero they don’t know.
I’m curious. I would like to know. What was he like in the past, and what kind of person was he in the eyes of the demon lords who lived with Lethe at that time.
I don’t know if the professor will really like the subject… No. Will listen
4 Warriors and 4 demon lords insist, ‘We’ll do it with this one.’ How can I say ‘yes, no’ there?
“Okay then. Our group will be Lord Lethe.”
“As expected, Mika! You, become the demon king!”
“I would decline that!”
