RImuru's Elegant Escape Play

Chapter 15

And like that, the fourth day ended. It was now the morning of the fifth day.

With all of the students standing in a line in front of me, I put on a pair of swirly glasses and stood in front of them.

After eating lunch yesterday, the students had taken baths and focused their attention on recovering from their fatigue.

We had plenty of meat from the monsters, and Julius had even offered some vegetables from his 'space storage,' and it was clear that it would be possible to feed everyone here for two to three days.

And so there was no need to go exploring. So instead, everyone rested.

In the meantime, I talked with the teachers as we prepared for this position of 'new teachers for the study of a new type of magic.'

"This introduction comes a little late, but this is Satoru, my confidant and a leader in magic research. In fact, I had requested that he become a teacher before, but he refused. However, fortunately, he has agreed to help you all after hearing that you want to become stronger! Now, Satoru. I would like to say a few words."

Old William came out and introduced me to everyone.

I generously nodded back to him.

All of the students had expressions of shock upon hearing that I was an acquaintance of William, and was also a leader of magical research.

Which was no surprise.

I looked younger than all of them, and yet I had the qualifications to stand with the teachers.

Among them, George, Mondo, and others of the same group, were especially surprised, which was quite entertaining to

But perhaps Marsha had realized that the magic cards were my idea, because she seemed quite satisfied with this explanation.

She must have been suspicious of the conversations between me and Old William.

Marsha wasn't only good with magic, but she had great intuition. I felt as if I acted too carelessly, she would find out my true identity. And so I had to be careful.

Well, there were only three days left. And I would deal with it when or if it happened.

I observed the students' reaction like this and then said:

"I am Satoru. I was actually thinking about waiting for help and keeping out of it, but I changed my mind when I saw how driven you all were. I want to meet your expectations and lead you to raise your base combat abilities within a short time. Well, then. Did you all get a good night's sleep? From today on, I and the research students will be in charge of the cooking, so the combat and magic students should focus on bettering themselves to the best of their ability. I want you to prove to me that what you said yesterday was not a lie! Now, let us begin..."

Here I raised the swirly glasses again and looked at the students.

"Sato-, no, teacher. What are we supposed to do...?"

I smiled mischievously at George's question.

"For now, I want you to run."

The students looked at me and gulped as I made the order and then smiled.

◇◇◇

The first thing was to run.

That was the basics.

Well, I set the quota for magic-type students quite low, so they would return without taking too much time.

Until then, I would discuss our future direction.
