Chapter 97: More Rescue Operations
“All right, looks like you guys took care of it too.”
Yugroot called out as the black lion fell.
Indeed, the black lion Yugroot had been fighting was also lying on the ground. It seemed like he had managed to defeat the monster all by himself.
(Second-year seniors are no joke… At least, he seems stronger than Danila.)
Rest could probably defeat them alone if he wanted to, but for now, he focused on checking the people who had been attacked.
“Hey, are you guys okay?”
“Yugroot, huh? Thanks for coming to our rescue.”

Apparently, the ones attacked by the black lions were a team of second-year knight students.
Rest had never met them, but it seemed like Yugroot knew his fellow classmates from the same year.
“We were ambushed while fighting another monster… We were in real trouble for a moment there.”
“I see. Once the first aid is done, I’ll take you to the starting point where the medical team is.”
“No… We’re fine. We don’t need that.”
The injured students stood up. Even the one who had collapsed seemed to have received first aid and could move.
“We won’t impose that much. We’re grateful for your help.”
“Hmph… Suit yourself. Just make sure you don’t die.”
Yugroot didn’t press further, watching as the injured students left.
Despite having injured people, is it okay not to escort them to the entrance?
“Are you sure? You don’t need to send them off?”
Ad
“I don’t mind.”
Yugroot replied shortly to Rest’s question.
“They’re knight students. Knights are meant to protect people, not be protected. It would be shameful for them to be rescued by us, then be escorted back to safety like children. I understand how they feel.”
At the entrance to the plain, even the knight commander had arrived as a guest.
Perhaps they judged that being seen being escorted back by the rescue team would be detrimental to their future prospects of joining the knight order.
“Well, they’re knights. I get it too.”
Danila also agreed with Yugroot’s words.
It seems that the students of the Knight Department have their own pride and dignity.
“I don’t admire wasting lives, though…”
“I agree…”
Ad
The cleric student nodded in agreement with Rest’s murmurs.
“Well, enough about that… You guys.”
Yugroot looked at Rest’s group.
“Your performance in that battle… was impressive. You seem capable for first-years.”
“Uh, thank you…”
“Keep up the good work in the future.”
Unexpectedly… they were praised.
Contrary to his rough manner of speaking, Yugroot might have a surprisingly broad-minded personality.
———————————————-
Three hours have passed since Rest and his team began working as rescue units.
Since then, the distress signal had gone up twice, once due to a false alarm mistakenly triggered.
The other time, it was due to the pitiful situation of a first-year student who lacked both skills and experience and was being chased by relatively weak monsters.
After that, there was not much work, and they spent more time on standby.
However… once again, smoke signals for distress were rising in the sky. This time, from two different locations.
“…This year seems to be moving faster than last year. Rest, can you use healing magic?”
“Yes, I can.”
“Good…Nakua and I will handle the east side, Danila, Thomas, Rest, handle the west side. Once the rescue is done, head to the other side.”
“Understood.”
Allowing us to split up means he acknowledges our abilities more than he did before.
Rest, accompanied by the two knight students, headed towards the location where the distress signal was raised.
“Rest, Thomas! Let’s see who can get there first!”
Danila enhanced his physical abilities with magic and ran off ahead, leaving the other two behind.
“Hey, Danila!”
Thomas shouted in a panic, but Danila didn’t stop.
“Seriously… he’s incorrigible.”
Rest sighed. Going off on his own like this might get him a scolding from Yugroot… But Danila showed no signs of slowing down.
“Well, I guess I’ll join the fun.”
Rest thought to himself. They had just competed in a race not long ago. It was time to show off the practiced power.
“Sorry, Thomas… Try to keep up.”
“Huh…?”
Ad
“【Super Acceleration】”
Rest accelerated rapidly. He caught up to Danila within seconds, leaving him behind as he continued running ahead.
“Whoa… Wait up…!”
Danila shouted from behind, but it was too late. Rest had already made his move and raced ahead to the location where the distress signal was raised.
“To be honest, it’s sometimes easier to do it alone…”
Upon reaching the designated point, they found a group of three boys and girls being attacked by a large bear with black fur and horns on its forehead.
“Help us!”
“Of course.”
The female student being attacked cried out for help. Rest responded briefly and unleashed magic towards the large bear with horns.
