Reincarnated as an Instructor in an Adult Game

Chapter 12: Reason for the High Difficulty...

The next day, at the usual training time, students gradually gathered from the changing rooms as always.

By the way, Felica and Erika were once again standing behind me today.

According to Felica, it was "educational."

(She’s probably better at teaching than I am, though.)

Among the students, three of them came running over with somewhat panicked expressions.

...Is an event starting?

"Raid Instructor! It’s Lucy-san!"

"Lucy-san is nowhere to be found!"

"Another student said she saw her leaving the academy with someone..."

The other students who had gathered also looked worried.

Fortunately, the students get along well with each other.

Roy, who was already nearby, listened to the three with a shocked expression. From the look of it, he had already been told about Lucy’s circumstances.

The reason Lucy has high difficulty is because she keeps running into problems like this.

Compared to other characters, the number of events involving Lucy is double.

Lucy

Real name: Lucy Desmond

She is the hidden child of royalty from a neighboring country that was at war with this kingdom.

She was born from a prince of that country who raped her mother.

That is Lucy. Her mother was the daughter of a fallen noble family.

Her mother chose not to abort her and decided to protect her.

Then, during the tense period leading up to the war, they fled to this kingdom.

Perhaps because they saw value in them, they received various forms of support, and Lucy ended up attending this academy.

After confirming that the students had gathered, I gave instructions.

"Today we will conduct a search training exercise! The target is Lucy. She should be somewhere in the city... We will search mainly around 10th Street! Form teams of three! Roy... Roy!"

I raised my voice at the dazed-looking Roy to get his attention.

I understand how you feel, but pull yourself together. This is the event you chose, you know?

"I will move together with your team... Don’t make teams consisting only of mages! Mix in people who can use weapons too! Start forming teams now!"

Roy seemed to regain his composure after my words and nodded with a serious expression.

After confirming that the students had started moving, I turned around to the two behind me.

They both had puzzled looks on their faces, so I told them:

"Erika, urgently inform Lady Croana that I am conducting this training and about Lucy’s situation. Felica, sorry, but I want you to go with Erika. ...Erika, whatever you do, don’t act alone, okay?"

"Understood!"

"...Got it."

Erika, who had replied with a slightly dissatisfied tone, ran hurriedly into the academy together with the serious-looking Felica.

Please, the key to this event is time.

The students, including me, were at the entrance to 10th Street — on the side toward the center of the royal capital.

There was a reason I specified 10th Street.

It was the street where Lucy’s home was located, and it also led to the city gate heading outward.

I looked over the students and gave instructions while being careful not to speak too loudly.

"Team 5, start gathering information here. The rest of the teams will gather information with me starting from the city gate. Don’t clump together while asking questions. Keep some distance from other teams, but stay within sight of at least one other team... understood?"

"""""Yes!"""""

"Good. Spread out."

I led Roy’s team and the others to the city gate, gave instructions, and had them spread out.

Roy’s team stayed with me.

Remember — how would the kidnappers escape the royal capital?

What did the strategy team conclude?

Suddenly, I noticed a carriage heading out of the city.

It was the type merchants often used. That mark... wait, the Dwarf Trading Company?

"Roy, we’re stopping that carriage. Everyone, prepare to draw your weapons."

"Y-Yes!"

""Understood!""

I stopped the slowly moving carriage and spoke to the driver with a smile.

Meanwhile, I gestured to the other two (besides Roy) to check inside the carriage without the driver noticing.

The driver looked suspicious at first but soon smiled and returned the greeting.

"Sorry to bother you. We’re looking for someone. Have you seen a man with blue hair?"

"No, no, you surprised me, but I’m fine... No, I haven’t seen him."

"I see... By the way, how is the young master doing? Becoming the chairman at such a young age must be tough, right?"

"...He’s working hard."

"Roy, cut the reins!"

"Yes!"

"W-What are you—!?"

Roy used his agility to leap from the side, cut the reins, and pointed the tip of his longsword at the driver.

I punched the driver in the jaw from the side, knocking him out, then moved toward the cargo area.

Three people inside were surprised — I subdued them with punches and kicks.

During that, I saw Lucy and a woman who resembled her.

I instructed the two outside to call the guards and fire a spell into the sky as a signal.

(I had set magic as the gathering signal.)

I got out of the cargo area and told Roy about Lucy’s condition.

Roy hurriedly climbed into the cargo area.

It looked like she had been put to sleep. At a glance, neither of them seemed injured.

Thank goodness... I’m glad they fell for such a stupid method...

That new chairman is probably sitting in a cell right now.

For a kidnapper, he really didn’t do enough research, did he?

What surprised me even more was that Lucy was apple-sized, while the other woman had breasts larger than watermelons.

Even in that tense situation, I did a double take...

I’m the one who needs to stay focused here...

A short while later, the students and guards arrived. I explained the situation.

The students were overjoyed, and the guards hurried to handle things since the other party was who they were.

I left the rest to the guards and returned to the academy with the students.

...Roy was given special permission to stay behind.

I couldn’t say no after seeing that expression on his face... ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

After that, we returned to the academy and I was called to the headmistress’s office.

Lady Croana scolded me for involving the students in danger.

Erika, along with Felica, also gave me a fed-up look with half-lidded eyes.

But once everyone else had left, Croana smiled and praised me, saying I had handled it well.
