Then something amazing happened. A string of flames, not a spear or a harpoon, magically appeared from Jake’s hand and wrapped around the beast’s neck. Its neck momentarily wrapped, and its actions limited, the bewildered beast stopped for a very short time. Jake didn’t miss the brief moment, and immediately created a flaming arrow with his other hand.

The flaming arrow was three times thicker and longer than the previous harpoons. It flew toward the beast’s heart without a bow and hit it accurately. Soon after, thump-

The heavy and gigantic body fell and the beast fell to the ground. Jake had defeated the beast. Without anyone’s help, he used fire magic by himself. Fortunately, there was only one beast, so there was no other attack or anything like that.

And, interestingly enough, as soon as the beast fell, we didn’t scream.

Maybe it wasn’t because everyone was crushed by the situation that had just been unrealistic.

And after confirming that the beast would never rise again, everyone rejoiced and were relieved.

“Wow! Jake, you’re so cool! My God! To defeat that vicious beast!”

“… Lord Jake. That’s great. My Lord, you saved us all with his magic.”

Cedric, who seemed to have turned from Jake’s anti to a passionate(?) fan, and Nicholas, who looked quite messy and disheveled unlike usual, were both clapping hands and praising Jake.

“…Thank you for saving me. Jake.”

“Yes, Lord Jake. What did you do? There are no magic artefacts like a fan, how did you defeat the demon with magic?”

Alice, who was usually a little awkward with Jake, was also expressing her sincere gratitude. For some reason, Ninaina was blinking her eyes blankly with a face as if she had just dreamed. So were the knights of the imperial family.

“Lo-Lord Jake. If it weren’t for my Lord, we would all be dead. We, who were commanded to protect everyone, are rather ashamed and grateful to be rescued by my Lord. Once again, thank you very much.”

The vice-chief of the Imperial Knights thanked Jake as the representative of the group. Jake, who received everyone’s sincerity, answered, embarrassed, because it was unfamiliar to him that he was suddenly in the spotlight.

“I was just doing what I could. Rather, I want to say thank you to Mir. I didn’t know what to say, but Mir believed in me and assisted me at the right moment, so I was able to use magic.”

Huh? Me? I was perplexed. To be honest, I haven’t done anything other than being a distraction.

“…what did I do? Anyway, it was you, Jake, who defeated that vicious beast. Throwing fireballs. It was great.” I wiggled my hand and complimented Jake.

Actually, I was unworthy of such praise. Besides, it was a compliment from Jake, who was the one who actually fixed all of this. But somehow, Jake seemed sincere.

“Mir was really cool. To be honest, even though I was using magic, my legs were shaking because I was scared, but Mir was next to me and got angry at the beast instead, so I plucked up the courage.” Jake smiled brightly at me.

After the situation was settled, we all went back to our respective homes to rest. In particular, Jake, who was so exhausted that he would collapse from using attack magic in a row, needed a rest. Meanwhile, the imperial family immediately dispatched a team to investigate the sudden appearance of the beast. The results of the investigation were presented soon after.

An aristocratic family located near the lawn where we played was the culprit. Oh, so the culprit was一

Fortunately, the aristocratic family had not released a beast to harm us. Had that been the case, they might have been publicly executed right away for the crime of harming the imperial family.

As it turned out, the owner of that noble family seemed to have a great interest in magical beasts. He had secretly stolen a beast from the tower and was experimenting with magical beasts in the basement with a personally hired wizard. The beast that attacked us had escaped from the mansion due to negligence in management.

However, in any case, it was a grave felony for an individual to separately own a magical beast sealed in the tower, so the people of the family were punished. It was said that all the beasts who were experimented on in the basement were also sealed.

“Damn, I’ve been having nightmares since that day the beast came out.”

A week has passed, but we still haven’t been able to get out of that beast situation completely. Cedric’s nightmare complaint was one of the proofs. Meanwhile, Jake was recognized by the imperial family for his contribution for defeating the beasts and saving the prince and the princess and the children in the kindergarten.

It goes without saying that a prize was awarded. And above all, the biggest impact that the beast incident has had on our lives is, ‘Ugh, that means that outdoor classes are completely banned… It’s too much!’

For the sake of safety, it was likely that the Emperor’s order was issued to never allow classes to be held outside of the kindergarten site. In addition, not only the imperial knights but also wizards were now stationed to guard the kindergarten.

So our first and last outdoor class had come to an end.
