On the outskirts of Mirage City.
There, one could see warriors with brown skin and red eyes lined up. 15 in total.
Each of them had a good battle experience, and in their eyes one could see the pride they had on their own abilities. In short, they are full of confidence.
The 15 elites are the forest giants that the village has chosen to send to Mirage City as a sign of their cooperation with Makoto, or the familiar Raidou. In the group, it looks like Akua and Eris are making Makoto sick. Makoto's follower Tomoe reformed the barrier and the need for a strong fighting force was gone, so personal elections were conducted without any restrictions.
The forest ogres who were invited to see the area were shocked by Asora's surroundings and sang praises for her. Elected people are allowed to live in the forest and have autonomy. Forests that are not included in it are still considering who should manage it.
Today is the first day of combat training that has been announced. There was still time before it started, but since everyone was already there, they were just waiting for the three of them to be watching over them.
All three refer to Raidou, Tomoe and Mio. The three strongest of the Mirage City. They really thought that they just came to watch them and thought "Don't be surprised by our training". In a sense, they were a group of happy people.
“Oh ~, as expected of a personally selected group. You've all gathered ”
The first person to call the marching group was Tomoe. A girl with blue hair and wearing Japanese clothes that had never been seen before in this world. Of course no one knew that this outfit was the attire of a samurai. It just looks eccentric.
“... Keeping a small fry does not give me a boost”
The grumpy person, who one would wonder if he had low blood pressure, was Mio. Have black hair and wear different types of Japanese clothing. This one will be classified as a kimono. At first glance, it does not seem like the type that can be entered well. His appearance was not someone who accompanied in training.
“Why should I come too? I feel Shiki will be fine ”
The one who seemed to be filled with discontent was the one who had the highest authority in the country, Makoto. He looked like he wanted to come back soon. He felt like he was holding back from going to Academy Town and being dragged into a useless event. He questioned himself about why he was here and early in the morning.
Putting aside Tomoe, the other two seemed to have no motivation at all. The expressions of the forest ogres curved in balance.
“So you've come. I don't like there are people who don't have motivation but, is it okay to think that you just came here today to see our self-training, right? ”
The representative of the male forest giant confirmed with the three people who had just arrived. Considering that the forest ogres were on the slender side, this man's physique was concentrated in the muscles and one could see the courage from his face. Needless to say, this man was the person they called Shishou or pervert.
"No, it'll be suspended-ja" (Tomoe)
"… What did you say?" (Misleading)
Hearing the indifferent words of negation from Tomoe, the pervert did not hide his displeasure and response.
“You are energetic as always yes. If I remember correctly.. You are Mondo right? Even though your name is first class, you are a pretty pathetic person "(Tomoe)
“Are you trying to fight, Dragon onee-san?” (Misleading)
"By not meaning. Today we changed our plans. I'm thinking of asking you to show us your abilities, you see. If you cross a certain threshold, successful people will be able to move to the village and be relied upon, but if you can't, we'll have to train you "(Tomoe)
Tomoe gave a reason that seemed reasonable. But his face grinned. As Mondo said, one could only see him fighting.
Are you saying that you are not satisfied with us? (Mondo)
“... Mondo, I think this is something you all look forward to? From now on, you will split the team and make you fight us. For that reason I had all the trouble to make time for Makoto-sama and Mio to come after all-ja "(Tomoe)
“... Heh ~” (Mondo)
Mondo made a mocking face. For Tomoe, she was not a dangerous threat so there was no point in making such a pushy eye.
“No problem making a team of five people. After all, Mondo and his two students would be on the same team right? I'm thinking of getting you guys to fight Waka "(Tomoe)
"It's fine! We also wondered to ourselves, how strong Makoto-sama ”(Mondo) is
“I understand, I understand. Now, the next thing is the "(Tomoe) criterion
Tomoe continued to explain with a beaming smile. He did not pay much attention to the tone of their voices and the harsh language that came out of them. If there was a need to say something, it was Mio secretly hiding her lips with her folding fan. There are no changes at all in Makoto. "I hope it's over soon .." is what his eyes say.
The criteria? There should be no problem if we drop you, right? " (Mondo)
“Of course-ja. If you are able to defeat us, you will be approved without complaint. More specifically, the teams that are able to bend my knee or Mio or are able to tear down our position are enough. Regarding Makoto-sama. If you can't do it, you have to follow the afternoon training menu OK? ” (Tomoe)
Tomoe's words were small whispers, but they spread widely like ripples.
“Understanding. Understand but, you seriously consider us stupid. We will soon divide people. Don't regret it "(Mondo)
“You too, go all out so there are no regrets okay? Exam time from now until noon. Rules are anything. However, we will not commit a fatal attack and the wounds you receive will be well treated so don't worry "(Tomoe)
Then prepare yourself.
Saying that, Tomoe waved her hand to shake the forest ogres. A gesture that could be considered "going".
“Tomoe ~ were you serious when you said it would be from now until noon? Besides, what's with that about just one attack? Didn't you place the hurdle too high for me? ” (Makoto)
“Waka, forest ogre is rather weak in the brain. It must be because they had a rash excuse. They are instinctive and do not understand the strong. They have been influenced by hyumans in a bad way. Well, don't worry. It seems that these people are slowly forgetting the fact that they cannot leave freely, that they cannot escape. Teaching them where they stand will benefit us in the future and it will also help us advance the training smoothly. Please, I ask for your cooperation. You do not need to attend a training camp that will take place in the afternoon of the anniversary ”(Tomoe)
There seemed to be not a single trace of his thoughts that they would be able to land a blow on him.
“B-Boot camp said you. Did you extract the strange memory again? Well, I won't be able to come here that often so I'll cooperate as much as I can as long as I'm here ”(Makoto)
“Why afternoon should I also stay-desu no? I want to be with Waka-sama-desu ”(Mio)
“Mio, that's because if you're here with me, they'll fall into deeper despair. No matter if it's useless, they're still trying to hurt Waka, you know? Follow me even for the sake of disciplining them ”(Tomoe)
“Now after you mention it.. I have not punished them yes. If it was ... "(Mio)
Mio withdrew with Tomoe's words. He was unaware of the evil intent of the forest ogres at first. Afterwards, she heard what they planned to do to Makoto, so she did not have a good impression of them. Well he himself relented, so his thought process was if they were useful no one would help him. Makoto also said that she would not take Tomoe or Mio with her to Academy Town, so she seemed to be slightly accepting of Tomoe's request.
“Then, to what extent will they not die, I will make them reborn with my new body clone training menu. Kufufufu ~~ ”(Tomoe)
With the first generation clone destroyed, Tomoe poured her power into a new clone who would work as Asora's new manager. As a result, the second body became a little girl with high combat abilities. Moreover, even when he was a clone created from his own strength, he had a dangerous-looking deep-red ring at his core, and there was an unclear rumor that this second generation was secretly fighting with Mio. Tomoe shivered with hope at the training that would take place tomorrow.
Despite their hostile attitude towards him, Makoto still felt sorry for the forest ogre.
—-
The outcome of the fight was terrible.
For the forest ogres, this was most likely the first time they had suffered a crushing defeat.
Mondo may be a brainless idiot, but he's not incompetent in battle. Before the battle, he confirmed with Tomoe and got approval from her not to say a word in their training again if only one team could pass. He did overlook the most important point, but this could be considered Tomoe's ability with her words and skill with provocation.
Of course, Mondo sent out the weakest group against Tomoe and the next 5 groups against Mio. Then dispatch the 5 strongest men against Makoto. Considering his internal rank from them, his actions were not too shocking. First, he does not know that it was Makoto's magic power that caused the accident (or so they tell him) that occurred while Mondo was touring in Asora.
Although they were given quite a long time after the sun was in the middle of the sky, the time it took to fight Tomoe and Mio did not even provide an opportunity for the sun to rise that high.
Tomoe didn't even draw her sword. Using the fog of grief, everything fell frothy and was pushed unable to fight in just 15 minutes. There was not even an opportunity to demonstrate their individual or teamwork abilities. The painful scream became faint and when it became silent, he let go. That's the only thing that happened. After that, Tomoe took out some documents in one hand and began to think of how to make the design of the sarong and katana protector. It's cruel.
In Mio's case, as soon as the fight started one of them cast a spell, but without trying to dodge, Mio accepted it with her body. As if nothing had happened, he caught four people trying to attack him from the ground with time spells and magic casters with threads. To the group that looked like insects trapped in a spider web, they could only allow themselves to be drained of their energy and finished. Even at noon, out of the five, the strongest was the only one who could move, but his movements could only be compared to the movements of a newborn deer. Moreover, Mio did not even move a single centimeter. After everyone lost their consciousness, he went to look for the stones randomly and sat down. He only confirmed the state of the makeup that he had recently learned. It's also cruel.
Then, if we talk about Makoto…
He faced the five elites who did not hide their killing intent while thinking of a way to dispose of them. But Mondo came up with a proposal. To try to connect one punch. Since they did not know how strong he was, they did not know how strong they had to hold back so Mondo went ahead and told Makoto to try hitting once.
Makoto is starting to like this adorable fool. He would definitely be one of the people in the story who shouted in surprise "WHAT ?!" or "What about the nine hells ?!" That was what Makoto was thinking with a wry smile. Because even without Mondo stating conditions such as "hitting once" he would propose it himself.
That's why Makoto launched an attack on Mondo, whose face is said to have hit there. Seeing Mondo fly to Neverland, the others stood stunned. The remaining four were astonished, unable to even chase after him and could only see the place where their master had flown, only after a short while did they return to their senses and run to where they had expected him to land, but as expected, the weak-looking Mondo had her eyes spinning after being blown up.
"Truly big mouth ..." (Macoto)
The words Makoto whispered were not heard by anyone and flowed just like that. After a while of doing nothing but looking at the clouds, the forest ogres returned. They are most likely on medication. For now it looks like Mondo is fine.
In the case where he might as well defeat them, he simply let them exhausted and after the continuous attacks, daylight arrived and they were all drained. Just then, Tomoe sees Makoto getting more agitated, so she takes a bow and leaves it by his side. After five shots, everyone could not even stand on their knees. They did not have the strength to stand up and their breathing was rough. After Makoto asks Tomoe if it's okay with this, she leaves just like that.
All that was left was 15 forest ogres that even with their wounds already healed, were destroyed from their roots. There was no trace left of the attitude they had when they came here. Tomoe nodded at the expected situation.
"Now, since all of you have failed, you must follow my training" (Tomoe)
“... Understood”
The response reciprocated had a sense of hidden meaning mixed in it. What was mixed was fatigue, but there was also opposition. Even so, Tomoe just laughed.
“Tomoe, didn't you let them go too fast? If so, wouldn't it be better to leave them in your fog for half a day and have them learn their own position? It can even make them more motivated ”(Mio)
Hearing Mio's words, the forest giants that were fighting Tomoe paled and held their heads. They foam in just 15 minutes. If they were left for half a day, their souls could be destroyed. In this area, the people who are most often broken minds are probably them.
“Now, Mio. Don't bully them. Let's leave it as a punishment game for people who don't show good results ”(Tomoe)
“People like this who take our attacks so funny, are they really useful? In the case of Waka-sama, they were even left to attack all the time and they still ended up like that "(Mio)
“They have enough quality-ja. If we train them from scratch, we can make them useful ”(Tomoe)
"Even in Asora, they can be counted as the lowest of the lowest" (Mio)
Not knowing what Tomoe expected of them, Mio tilted her head. Of course, but there was not the slightest consideration for the forest ogre in their words.
“I won't deny that. They were like little children who thought they only had good qualities. Waka also seemed to think about it while dealing with them "(Tomoe)
"... Rather than punishment, it feels like it will turn into breastfeeding in the middle of it-desu wa" (Mio)
Yareyars. Making sure it would be like this, Mio worried about what would happen from now on. For someone who would soon be devastated if they were bullied a little, he felt it would actually build stress.
No matter what they said, the forest ogres who were completely lost had no right to refuse. They followed the training menu just as Tomoe had ordered.
The training that continued into the night was extremely harsh for Mondo and the others who could not slack off in the slightest due to the supervision of Tomoe and Mio, who were both very strict, but there are many areas that take into account the limits of their bodies and forests. Starting tomorrow, there is no scheduled training. They would only be in the forest waiting for time to pass. What does Tomoe expect from this? Is what they think but don't say out loud.
Okay, enough for today! (Tomos)
With Tomoe's words, some of them felt relieved to not be shrouded in an agonizing mist. But the real hell starts after this.
Tomoe declared without glossing the 15th that had been grouped and lined up.
“Then, tomorrow will be all day. Prepare yourself ”(Tomoe)
What he said.
“? !! Don't mess with us! Observation of the next training should be done in the next 15 days! " (Mondo)
Mondo fearlessly let out words of objection to Tomoe. Because his words were against the agreement to let them do some self-training and have them check it out once in a while.
"What did you say? Didn't I say at the beginning that such a thing is forbidden? ” (Tomoe)
"That's…! Isn't that so we won't stop you even when you're not just watching? ”
“Such a thing is just your own excuse. By the way, I also said that I saw the ability. If you guys are substandard, I'll have you take training, is what I say "(Tomoe)
“Now, at the moment, the training is over right?!” (Mondo)
“... The forest giant is really stupid huh. I did say we would start training at night, but I don't remember saying "when" it would end. By the way, from my plan, the shortest would take at least a month "(Tomoe)
One month is the shortest. Those words left a number of forest ogres shattered in place. Being watched by someone on a very different scale and not knowing what kind of training would be given to them, it was the same as being tortured. They completely reject such a thing. But they could not refuse by force. Their only remaining path was to escape.
“Yang says sofistri is you! Wasn't it obvious that the training had to end on the same day it was finished ?! ” (Mondo)
“Yes, I don't care if it's misleading. The weak truth and reason cannot be compared to the strong reason "(Tomoe)
Mondo's words became bitter. Even if he did his best, he already understood that with how the two were, training would not end with just what they had done today. Mondo knew for sure that even though 15 of them tried to attack both of them while they were drunk or sleeping, they would still be defeated. Instead, they may even "misle" restrain and kill them in the process. Their bodies and minds understood that the two, the blue and black women, were the strongest. And they can't even touch Makoto. They attacked for hours and still could not break the barrier. Even when he could defeat them whenever he wanted. They understand that to Makoto, they are just the kids he plays with.
“Ara ara, before the fight you even dared to say something about“ if we complete one of those terms ”but now you rely on such trivial things. I'm not going to say complicated things but, do you think the weak have the right to choose against the strong? ” (Mio)
“……”
I and Eris are pretty tame. They can't even be Makoto's opponents, and after training they are often talked about badly. Moreover, as they repeatedly felt they could almost succeed, but failed, their state of mind and body fell apart. To be honest, the girls and the other two who fought against Makoto already felt instead of worrying about tomorrow's plans, they just wanted to go back and sleep. The remaining 10 people were completely desperate. The ones who really could not think of anything were the five people who fought Tomoe. The ones who were already thinking of escaping were the ones who fought Mio.
Tomoe left Mondo who was snapping for now, and looked to the other members.
“What a group that is really easy to understand. You are tired with just this level of menu. Half of you might be thinking of escaping huh "(Tomoe)
"?!"
“But... think with your brain lacking it. Where are we? How did you guys get here? Don't tell me you guys think this place is around your village, right? You guys are naive, too naive ”(Tomoe)
"… What do you mean?" (Mondo)
Mondo's voice is blackmailed. He also had the thought of escaping in a corner of his mind. Instead of being rude, it was more like a fear of possible death.
“There is no other way to say it. This was inside a special barrier made by Waka. It was on a completely different level from the barrier Waka had created just a moment ago. If you want to sneak out and escape.You should have enough power to destroy the Waka barrier with one fingertip ”(Tomoe).
His words are full of lies. There are too many properties in Asora that they still don't know about. Of course, there was no chance for the forest ogre to return by land, so it was impossible to remain the truth.
“With fingers? No way, it's crazy ”
Since they could not even break Makoto's simple barrier, the forest ogres were in a hopeless situation. Iua and Eris were stunned when they found out that the barrier was a simple spell. "Now that I think about it, he doesn't even say aria" is what they ended up thinking.
“Do you understand your situation now? There's nowhere for you to run. And meanwhile, the forest giant village was also in my hands. When you end up lower than standard, all your escape routes are no longer in this world. If your execution is bad, I don't care what happens to your village, you know? ” (Tomoe)
Tomoe says repeatedly that she is the law and threatens them.
“Well, you won't die so, you'll just go back to your village as an ugly item huh. Or maybe you will succeed in being worthy. If you have spirit, then show "(Mio)
Mio continued after Tomoe. Those words were what Tomoe had ordered to say and memorize before the training. He was asked to act as a demon instructor and he accepted it. Mio could not go with Makoto to Academy Town, so she had some free time. Then why not watch their training? What he thinks.
Tomoe's threat and Mio's explosion. Both of them just fanned their true motives. It's fine if they take a decision tonight and show results, so Tomoe doesn't care that they are currently pathetic.
More precisely, since he had comprehended their estimated abilities, the training would actually begin tomorrow. This is a training style taken from the world in Makoto's memory, which uses misunderstandings and distortions.
Tomoe named it exactly as the information in the data she obtained, the training camp. He planned it out in his mind and he used Makoto's memories as a reference so he took the letters T (from Tomoe) and M (from Makoto), and made it TM training camp.
“Ku fu, with this the future drug sales plan has advanced a step further. This ingenious idea will spread our company name and even allow us to gather information. I have obtained one seed that will surprise Makoto-sama "(Tomoe)
Tomoe whispered in a rather low tone. Even if Mio could hear the contents of what Tomoe said, she could not understand much, so she only saw the forest ogre re-staggered. That he didn't extend a hand was really like Mio.
Customers are gods!
"I will calculate the profit carefully!"
"Please patronize the drug sales of Kuzunoha Company!"
“When you're in trouble, I'll be there to help!”
Are there many words that the forest ogres shout as they work hard in training. Their form of training could be seen on the outskirts the next day. Also the shouting and screaming mixed.
Your voice is too slow, Your smile is too warm, Your self-awareness is not enough, weak, You are not pleasant. Sometimes they are faced with violence under unreasonable pretexts while doing physical training, fighting techniques, stealth mobilization, and information gathering. They also push into their minds and bodies information about hyumans.
Tomoe's brainwashing training camp through fear continues even today.
