Recently, magical beasts have been attacking people in and around the royal capital.
In any country, magical beasts are not an uncommon threat. In fact, just by burning incense that calls them out, they can even appear in the forests used for the academy’s training exercises. That said, the giant tree-like magical beast snake was somewhat unusual.
However, in this area, the knights who guard the royal capital are regularly subjugating magical beasts, and there are no places where large magical beasts can inhabit. The towns and villages around the royal capital, which are supposed to be relatively safe, as well as travellers and merchants on the roads, are being attacked by magical beasts thanks to this.
“Hey, Percival. Have you heard about the magical beasts?”
I ask Percival at the dinner table.
The disgraceful rumours about me that had been spreading until recently have completely disappeared.
It seems that the ducal family has complained bitterly about why the academy is letting such disgraceful rumours spread about a student of the academy supported by the duke.
The academy hurriedly instructed the students that it was unbecoming of an academy student of Creare to spread rumours that would defame the other party. I’m not sure if it’s because of that, but my surroundings are mostly peaceful. Anyway, I am grateful that I can eat in peace.
“Yes, I’ve heard.”
As expected, Percival had heard about the magical beasts that haunted the royal capital. Perhaps because of his background, he is more sensitive to this kind of topic than other students.
Come to think of it, he said that the number of magical beasts is increasing in the forest of magical beasts in Vanderwall. There were magical beasts that were supposed to be deeper in the forest appearing and so on. It’s kind of a disturbing story, isn’t it?
But still, I feel like I heard something like this somewhere……but I can’t remember what it is.”
Although my mind is more organised than before, the memories of the two of us are still cluttered. When it comes to trivial memories, it’s hard to tell whether they’re from the previous life or the present. I didn’t care because I didn’t have any problems with it, but like now, where I feel like I’ve heard something somewhere……it is difficult to find the basis for such vague memories because I do not know whether they are now or in my previous life. I think I’ll get used to it eventually.
I thought about it for a while, but I couldn’t remember where I heard it and for what reason, so I quickly gave up trying to recall it.
Oh well.
If I can’t remember it right away, it’s probably not a big deal. Some great sage once told me that people are forgetful creatures.
“It’s still rare for magical beasts to appear in the vicinity of the royal capital, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. A few magical beasts were appearing, but they weren’t enough to cause damage to humans. It seems that villages and merchant groups have not been attacked in the last few decades. I heard that the knights of the kingdom will form a special unit for subjugation.”
“……Hmm.”
This means that even if you don’t go out of your way to go to a place where many magical beasts live, you can get magical beast materials.
Right now, I’m in the process of thinking about returning a gift for the ring Percival gave me. When it comes to repaying that ring with something worthy, I can’t say that it’s around there1I think what he means is that he won’t settle for anything less than what the ring is worth, not even slightly, and I feel that buying it from the pocket money I receive from the ducal family is something wrong. It would be nice to dive into some ruins and search for ancient relics, but that would be difficult as a student. Most of the ruins are in places that aren’t close enough to go to and fro quickly. Once you go and finish it, the return is instantaneous, but it takes time to go.
If that is the case, I have to prepare a certain amount of goods with the money I earn, but the means to earn that money is a problem. As a student, there’s only so much I can do. If I earn money from time to time, I don’t know when I’ll be able to return a gift.
But if I can hunt magical beasts in this area, that’s a different story. Moreover, if I kill the magical beasts and get the materials from them, the area will be kept safe after the magical beasts are gone. Truly a great idea to kill two birds with one stone.
“……Sapphiras, what are you thinking?”
As I relaxed my lips at the idea, Percival was looking at me with a suspicious look.
Oops, not good. He has a good intuition, so I must be careful.
“Eh? No, I was wondering if the incident in the forest the other day had something to do with it.”
We’re talking about Percival. If he knew that I was going to subjugate magical beasts by myself, he would definitely stop me. For me, a herd of magical beasts isn’t even an afternoon tea, let alone breakfast, but I understand Percival’s feelings for worrying about me. Even for me, if Percival says he’s going to subjugate magical beasts by himself, I’ll definitely stop him.
But I’m going to go and subjugate them by myself!
“Ah. That forest is under royal control. The Second Order of Knights should be patrolling regularly to ensure there are no particular dangers, so it’s obviously abnormal for magical beasts to appear in hordes.”
“……An anomaly, huh?”
The anomaly should not be a problem if the magical beasts are hunted down. It doesn’t matter how much money you have.
I have to hunt before the Knights subjugate them, and I’ll go and check on it as soon as possible this evening.
After getting ready for the hunt, I open the window and look around. Security in the academy has tightened recently. That’s a good thing, but for me now, I was more grateful for the previous loose security.
After checking that there are no guards patrolling around, I slip out of my dorm room through the window. Around my waist is a tricorn wand and a sharp knife. Then some snacks to fill my stomach a little. Staying up late at night makes me hungry.
I moved to a place out of sight of the patrolling guards, drew up a summoning formation and summoned Orthus2two-headed dog, brother of Cerberus.. Unisus is convenient because it can fly, but it’s too conspicuous. Besides, tonight I’m the hunter of the dark night, so my partner deserves to be Orthus.
“Sorry, Orthus, but would you mind doing a little hunting with me?”
I straddled Orthus, who took a prone position at my words, and we transferred out of the fort under the cover of darkness. Even if it’s said that many magical beasts will appear, you don’t know when and where they will appear. I was hoping to find a pack by dawn, when I immediately spotted a pack of wandering magical beast wolves in search of prey.
“This is a good start!”
I drive the magical beast wolves running in a pack with Orthus, and then round them up with lightning. On the first day, I suddenly hunted ten magical beast wolves. And they are quite a good size.
If I bring them to the material store as they are, they will be bought cheap, but if I prepare them to some extent before taking them there, the price of the material will go up dramatically.
I carefully peel the skin of the magical beast wolf with a knife. I’ve done this a lot in my previous life, so I’m familiar with it. There is a trick to skinning. If the skin is torn when peeling, the purchase price will drop dramatically.
Byron taught me the tricks of the trade when it comes to handling the game. Where to put the knife, and how to handle the face and tail, which are difficult to peel.
Byron told me that what I had learnt was an asset that no one could take away from me, and he was absolutely right. It’s still useful to me in my reincarnation.
By diligently peeling off the skin, 10 splendid magical beast wolves pelt from head to tail were completed before dawn. The quality of the fur is fair, although I can’t go as far as scraping the fat off the skin in the time available. There are no tears, and I think they’ll be worth the price there.
Still, the preparation of this material is more tiring than hunting. Today is the first day, so I’ll leave it at that.
The skinned corpse of the magical beast wolf is burned in a fire to get rid of it. Even if it’s in the forest, this area is filled with a lot of people coming and going, so it can’t be buried.
After taking a breather, I noticed that my body had become quite dirty from handling the magical beast wolves. I can’t go home like this, so I use magic to pour out hot water and cover my head. Incidentally, I also washed the skin I had peeled off clean. This is also something that reminds me of my adventurer days and makes me nostalgic.
But still, magic is really useful, isn’t it? Most things can be done with magic. I’m really glad that I can use magic. I’m thankful to the goddess.
After washing off the dirt, drying in the wind and freshening up, I look at the magical beast wolf’s fur while eating the snacks I brought with me. All that’s left is to redeem this.
“I wonder if I should go to the material shop after school so that Percival won’t notice me.”
Percival is training after school, so I can go to the material shop during that time.
Even so, if this is the result on the first day, it seems that the funds will be saved sooner than expected.
The problem is what to give them. For once, even Aurora would be troubled. I’m going to sell the pelt and look in the shop to see if I can find something good.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
