"This works?"

"..."

"..."

Silence spread around Elijah's words.

Perhaps it's because everyone all share the same sentiment.

Man Eaters were strewn all over and wriggling the ground.

'...Everyone was against it at first.'

Elijah chuckled, sword resting on his shoulder.

When Tallion first told everyone about the "plan," they thought he was crazy.

Even Elijah, who was urgently summoned here, would have reacted the same way if she hadn't been told that it was Dowd Campbell who came up with this plan.

In a state of emergency of monsters appearing in the city, the standard solution would be to call the knights and buy time until civilians evacuate.

No matter what anyone says, the strongest force in the Empire is the knights, and there are always knights residing in and around Elfante.

However, what about Dowd's plan that Tallion told them about?

'...We can deal with this with a dozen or so students, a few knights, and several academy professors.'

Recalling the contents of the plan, Elijah still found it absurd even now and let out a bitter laugh.

It was basically just to round up the nearest people around and throw them to deal with the monsters.

To put it bluntly, it was a death wish.

It had been quite some time since demonic power manifested, and Man Eaters were classified as enemies of humanity.

Even if their intelligence had deteriorated, they possessed simple but brutal combat capabilities that even warriors find difficult to deal with.

Therefore, dealing with Man Eaters is fundamentally based on the premise that "more humans" will confront "fewer Man Eaters."

So, the fact that less than 20 humans had unilaterally suppressed hundreds of Man Easters was almost miraculous.

The motivation behind the plan was even more absurd.

'...There would be too many casualties.'

If civilians are evacuated while waiting for the knights to be dispatched, casualties inevitably occur in the process.

However, if they just subdue all the Man Eaters before that, they could eliminate such risk.

Truly a man with great foresight.

When it comes to the conviction of saving people first during a crisis, Elijah couldn't help but doubt that this man was more keen than her, despite being the hero candidate.

'Is there any special reason?'

Elijah tilted her head in wonder.

"Good job."

As she was having such thoughts, the Dean of the Knights School, Conrad Baltador, approached her and patted her on the shoulder.

He was one of the people who supported this plan, along with President Atallante, who had participated in the battle.

Because their influence was so strong, the plan was executed as is, shutting down the opposition.

"I'm relieved that both the Dean and the President are here. If even one of you wasn't, such an achievement might not have been possible."
