Flora disagreed and said it in a moody tone.

“The risks we understand cannot be compared to the current risks. What we expect most from field practice is injury, not death. If not for that, wouldn't it be impossible for us to participate?” Christina explained their situation to Flora with a bitter expression.

“Usually we won't even be allowed to participate, but dad allowed us because he spoiled us. I don't want to make ayag worry any more.” After carrying around her beloved father, Flora could not say anything more.

“....I ...understand.” Flora's answer vanished among the rustling leaves of the forest. He had unknowingly prepared to leave.

Returning 15 minutes before the group's departure, Rio fell into an open area

in the woods under the cliff. As expected, falling from a height of 30 meters was truly terrifying. The closest comparison he could think of was being ejected from a moving Roller Coaster.

(Ah, shit. To think that I would test the effectiveness of my body strengthening in a situation like this.).

Looking at the rapidly approaching ground, an insignificant thought entered his mind. With a body that had been strengthened, there was a chance that he would live forever with the need to endure pain. Strengthening the body at full strength would allow it to be like crushing a rock with its fists.

Even so, it was terrible. Even knowing that he probably won't

dead, it was only natural that he felt so if he fell from such a height without a rope. In an attempt to smooth his landing, Rio unleashed magic from within his body and manipulated it. It was similar to activating magic, yet he used a completely different principle. The magic interfered with the laws of nature and a gust of wind was released before him.

The magic he had just used was a throw shaped through the imitation of a stream

magic of Contract Rituals. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to mention it (Spirit Arts ).Spirit Arts were a form of magic practiced by Elves, Dwarves and beastmen.

Rio was unable to use the Magic Contract but could use (Spirit Arts), a form of magic that could not be used by most of humanity. While human use (Spirit Arts) indeed

there were, they were extremely rare and therefore, there was very little information relating to their existence (Spirit Arts ). The only reason that he knew about his whereabouts was because he found an old book that contained a summary about it. However, the information was not enough that he could not learn much. All he understood was that he did not need a Contract or a spell to activate magic. Of course, it was all just speculation.

By producing a gust of wind right below him, Rio was able to reduce the speed of the fall. He's starting to slow down. However, the force of gravity was still greater than his magic. So that he could not completely eliminate his fall. Fortunately, his current speed was enough to be able to land safely.

Rio adjusted his landing position by manipulating the wind and directing himself

the tree. Capturing the light of a tree that was thick enough, he could stop its momentum. He ignored the tension he felt from his glove-wearing hands.

“Hmph, Hah.”

The result was a lander without injuries. He healed his hands with recovery

(Spirit Arts) so there's no problem. While glancing over the cliff, Rio thought about what was happening up there. There was no hard for him to return to the top and rejoin his group. The cliffs could be said to be quite high, but he could easily climb 30 meters.

On the other hand, it would be suspicious for Rio, who could not use magic to be able to

directly climb back from 30 meters unharmed. He just complained of facing this troublesome situation.

Rio decided it was better to hide himself for a while and monitor

(Yes, I thought it would turn out like this.)

He complained in his mind while eavesdropping on the students. He was not expecting anything

profitable from the beginning. Only Flora seemed to worry about him, but eventually, she was also convinced to leave by the surrounding students. Even if he claimed that he had miraculously survived, it would be very strange to immediately rejoin them. It would be better to hide for a few days.

(Tch, as expected, this is really troublesome)

Seeing the group disappear into the forest, Rio thought of the difficulties that would be

awaits.

~ Vol 1 Chapter 12: Fake~ Accusations

The field exercise ended that night. Currently to the Royal Academy school

he was thinking hard about how he should handle this matter.

“It has been reported that the person who has caused the group to deviate from

the path determined was the son of Duke Euguno and Marquis Rodan. It had made princess Flora almost fall off the cliff due to their pierakat.

Hearing incident reports from the instructor in charge of the field exercises

causing the head of the Royal Academy, Garcia, to have various kinds of worries.

The students who deviated from the designated route had been confirmed to have survived, and deliberately entered the forest endangering the Princess' life. Furthermore, they were attacked by a horde of goblins. A series of events can occur because it is supported by a number of influential nobles. When I first heard the report. He finally seriously considered the plan for the escape.

“Although there were some injured students, but thanks to some students who could use healing magic, it did not become serious. One of the dead, or rather I must say, lost, the name of the disciple is Rio.”

Garcia breathed a sigh of relief as it was a matter that could be ignored for a while. Fortunately, there were no serious casualties among members of the royal family and nobles. There seemed to be one casualty according to the instructor's report, but it seemed that the instructor also did not want to make a big deal for the matter.

“The former orphan boy, yes. This will definitely be a blessing in disguise.”

Not to mention Rio has no guardian let alone parents. In the kingdom, he is just a person can.

It could be said that the king recommended Rio to be a walina, but after he entered the Academy, the King completely ignored him.

Garcia was told to tell the King if he saw any suspicious movements. Since the King had to be wary of faction strife within the royal palace, he had no time to take care of the boy whose background alone was very suspicious. There was not enough sense that could save such unimportant things. Therefore, open the issue if the person disappears. Far from grieving, it really is someone else's problem.

“Only one problem remains. It's about the person who caused Princess Flora

almost fell off a cliff.” Garcia's stomach ached just thinking of how unpleasant it would be to deal with this matter.

“Alright, let's hear the story. Please continue.”
