Journal from Another World

とある学生騎士の傲慢・モンスターの襲撃

My name is Eldren Ganvil Avron, eldest son of Argil Avron of Galvaland. Our family has been in service of the king’s knights for generations and my father is the leader of the prestigious Avron Knights Orden one of the 12 Knights Orden in Galvaland. As the first born and eldest son of the House of Avron I am tasked with the heavy duty to shoulder his position as leader of the Avron Knights Orden, something no commoner will ever get a chance to understand in their lifetime.

Before I enrolled to Galahad School of Knights, my father had already instilled the knowledge of knighthood in my head, and I have committed them in to memory. I also trained with him and with other members of the Avron Knights Orden and increased my combat skills. There should be no one who can match me skill wise.

When school started on the 4th cycle of the Moon the 92nd day of the Year I have nabbed the number 1 position in school may it be in theory or practice as it should be. As the scion of the Avron House I can’t afford to be number two. This was something I had prided myself and thought I could monopolize that position. Until, two weeks later the so-called hero came, two of them.

“Everyone get back to your seats. Ahhh… right… We have two new students starting today” A voice lacking enthusiasm pulled everyone to the center, she is Katrina Felix our homeroom instructor, my father told me not to mess with her as she is known for being a trouble maker and strong to boot. But with her demeanor and the way she acts, I was sure my father was just pulling my leg, a girl could never be strong in the battlefield. Women are only strong in bed. hahahaha

“Everyone be surprised.” Although she was asking us to be surprised, with her voice lacking in enthusiasm just made us skeptical. “the two are heroes, summoned from another world, waiiii.”

And with her passive glee a chaotic uproar spread to the whole class while she left us by sleeping on the desk. While her attitude was unlady-like or unknightly for that matter but, her actions mattered less to me. After all my number 1 position was instantly threatened by this new comers who have started to call themselves heroes.

*****

My mother had told me stories of heroes who have come from another world and saved this kingdom from the threat of the demon lord. But to me they look bogus, right they are just stories so that up-and-coming knights can romanticize an ideal knight. I needed to dispel these fakers.

And so I had riled up the class for an excursion that would show my greatness and expose these two as frauds. Right, an excursion with a single theme: A Contest of Strength.

There was a slight hitch to my plan, two actually. One of them is the Hero Li Jie, he was against it, which pulled the world in doubt. The second is a commoner girl, While she was a beauty, I will never associate myself with one. I will make her a side chick if she begs me though. With the two’s defiance, the class was split into two.

While my side was at an advantage, our teacher needed another push for the excursion to happen. Thankfully, the other Hero, Galford took my provocation and help me in pushing for the excursion to happen. I was a bit worried when the principal did not approve but, one telepathic call (I wonder if it was my dad) and he gave his approval provided that we are to strictly follow instructor Katrina’s call. Truthfully, it would be fine even without her, I mean I can handle the Forest of Fae.

The class was divided into three. The Hero’s group led by Li Jie, the True Hero’s group led by Galford Granfall, and the Real Hero’s group with me as the leader. Yeah, that’s right I am the real hero. Hahahahaha

I was with my own clique with two others. Loius Shevl, Peter Sparks, and Kurt Beltrone have been my friends since childhood, and they are also sons of knights assigned to the Avron Orden so we go a long way.

The two girls however where a nuisance. While I can tolerate Fatima Archers since her family although low borne are still knights. But this Ina Groove is a commoner who wants to rise into power using the system of knighthood. Well she can if she becomes one of my mistresses, not that I want her to become one though. Too bad she is to plain to become one. Hahahah.

We started off slightly far from the edge, I wanted to see the extent to the others capability. I know how capable my friends are so this is really a test if the two worthless girls are up to standards... with my standards.

As expected, all three of the future members of the Avron Orden: Loius with his sword and shield prove to be a good vanguard and defender. Peter was swift with his feet using his rapier and Kurt can easily synchronize with me as we have the same one-handed sword style.

The two however would fail my standard. While Fatima could use her dagger skills well, their reach was the problem, and the other one was just a no-no, I mean she was fighting in the rear with a bow, she was no knight a support class as best. There is no need to even remember her name… and I will not welcome her as a mistress but a slave.

Well, they should be able to survive an intermediate Natural Habitat field with Rank E to C threat. “If you can’t or won’t follow me, I will feed you to the wolves.” I told the girls.

So that they will have no choice but to follow us, the four of us run to the deeper parts of the forest where the D rank threats tend to gather. As I have been here before while training with my father, I know this place like the back of my head

The wolves here are a slight stronger, but they should not be strong enough for the four of us to handle. The plant type monsters were easily distinguishable so there was no threat of ambush. Here we might even get to cut the biggest game of the Forest of Fae: a C rank threat -Ravenous Curr. If we can get that, it is our win no matter how many small-fries the other fraud-hero teams kill.

“Alright, you lot. We will go hunt for the Ravenous Curr!” I encourage my men.

“Ohhhh!” Loius, Peter, and Kurt shared my enthusiasm.

“…” the two girls were shivering unable to say anything. I wonder if they pissed their pants. But I’m going to have them go through with it to have the class acknowledge me being the real hero and admonish those fakes.

“The two of you can just hide and watch somewhere and don’t ever get in our way.” It would be troublesome if either of the girl dies, it will be automatic lose for me. so I need them to stay out of our way when the target is on sight.

In the place where the Currs frequent we stealthily encroached its den. But while I was sure that the den would be filled with Teen and Adult Currs, none of them seems to be present. ‘Where are those dogs?’ I don’t know why but somehow; I have a bad feeling about this area.

I had trained with my father here and know the hunting grounds all too well, I even knew the areas where the Ravenous Curr frequents it should have been easy… I should have been at an advantage… that should have been the case but…

Without warning or what-so-ever a large number of goblins suddenly rushed towards us, it was not like this when I trained with my father 2 months ago. Goblins, one of the easiest monsters in this world. I could probably defeat them one-on-one even a one-to-five would still be an easy fight but hordes like these are impossible even for a veteran knight. Our group had to scatter blindly to flee to safety.

“Eldren, what about the girls…”

“Leave them…” I don’t know who among my friends said it but it was everyone for themselves from now on.

“Just what the heck is going on here!?” I could only run aimlessly towards the edge of the forest. I even forgot the Magic Flares our instructor had given us in time of trouble, how am I to think of this kind of thing, I mean I was an inch to death.
