Chapter 12 - Apparently, It’s Rare to be able to Ta a Lot

Apparently, It’s Rare to be able to Ta a Lot

“...I’m bored...”

Nearly half an hour had passed since the start of the test.

And I had lots of ti to kill.

Back on earth, I had so much work left even after staying up several nights in a row.

“Hey, did you find anything interesting?”

I tried asking the slis.

Well, the slis and I shared each others’ vision through magic, so there was no way they would know of anything.

“This leaf is delicious! Do you want so, Yuji?”

Uh.

I had been wondering why the view from one of the slis had been moving oddly. So it was eating leaves.

Unfortunately, I was not in the habit of eating unfamiliar leaves. And so I didn’t really like having them recomnded to .

“Be careful. I don’t want you guys to get sick after eating anything strange.”

“Okay!”

...But did slis even get sick?

I continued to talk with them to pass the ti.

I was bored, but not tired.

After all, this wasn’t like back on earth where I had to stay up for two to three nights.

–And so a few more hours passed like that.

Then things changed suddenly.

The instructor had appeared in the vision of one of the slis.

“Yuji. Soone is here.”

“Ah. I can see. If it’s not dangerous, stay there and continue to watch.”

“Okay!”

The slis were all stationed so that there were no blindspots.

I wasn’t sure if it the placent was the most efficient or easy to defend, but there were so many slis that it was easy to create such a surveillance system by scattering them almost randomly.

And the instructor was walking right through them.

No, he sotis hid behind trees or lowered his posture, as if careful to stay unnoticed. But the slis saw him completely.

It was kind of...well, I felt a little sorry for him, because of all the effort he put into it.

So I decided to go and et him as he slowly made his way here.

And when we were close enough that he would be able to hear ...

“Uh, about this test...do I just need to spot you? Or do I have to drive you back with my abilities as well?”

I said as I pointed a summoned sword at him.

I hadn’t pointed it at him because I intended to cut him.

I just wanted to show that I had a will to fight if it was necessary.

If it did co to an actual fight, I would probably avoid using a sword, as I had rely been lucky the last ti I used it. It would be far easier to transfer magic to any of the slis that were nearby.

However...it was not necessary.

“No, you just need to spot . Oh, dear...I did not think that you would find so quickly. And you didn’t even make a fire. How did you do it?”

“My slis found you. They saw everything when you started to approach.”

I said as I pointed to a sli that was near my foot.

He hadn’t even noticed it.

However...I started to think that I wouldn’t have noticed the sli either, if I didn’t have Shared Senses.

Besides, they were quite small and nearly transparent.

And it wasn’t as if they attacked you or moved in a way that caught the eye. They just silently watched you.

It would actually be impressive to notice them in this dark forest.

“Are you serious... I have heard of people using tad monsters as scouts...but I’ve never been caught this quickly before...”

“Well, I have a lot of them, after all.”

I said. Then I used a spell I had rembered in order to light up the area so we could see the other slis.

From where we were, we could see seven of them.

It would have been impossible to sneak through with this many.

“...Huh? I thought you had tad just one sli?”

“Well, they can split up and then combine again. So I usually carry them around as one sli, but split them up when there is a need.”

I said as I pointed at a nearby sli. Then I ordered it to unite and then split up from another one.

The instructor saw this and seed to be satisfied.

“I see. Yes, I have heard of slis being able to do that. But taming seven slis at once... You are not only a monster with magic and swords, but also as a Tar...”

Uh, it seed like he was assuming that there were only seven...but I felt like it would be troubleso to correct him, and so I didn’t.

I thought that it would be better not to talk about the number of slis in the future.

As I considered this, the instructor raised both of his hands.

“Alright then, I yield. And now I shall quietly retreat.”

He said, then turned around and went back from where he ca.

The slis continued to watch him, but it seed unlikely that this was a trick and that he would try to return.

...Still, he had not said that it was the end of the test, and so I had to continue to guard the tent.

◇

And then several more hours passed–and it was morning.

It was a ti when your ability to focus was the weakest. That was when the change occurred.

A tree that appeared in one of the slis’ vision had moved as if touched.

And then it happened with another tree. Sothing was coming closer to .

But...this was different from the instructor.

–Because I could not see anyone.
