Chapter 71

"Wh-what do you mean?!"

Burren's eyes were full of disbelief.

"I mean just that."

Raon walked to the front to meet every trainee's eyes.

"The mission isn't over yet."

"That's what I'm asking! We've killed all the monsters, and even finished cleaning it up, so why is the mission still not over?"

"What was our mission?"

"Huh? That's..."

Burren frowned, then opened his mouth again.

"The monster extermination and the village's protection."

"Yes. Our mission includes the village's protection on top of the monster extermination."

"But we've already finished it! It's over since we've killed all the monsters!"

"No."

Raon shook his head, and looked towards Cebu village, where they came from.

"We've been under observation until just now. The observing gaze went away about an hour ago."

"Huh?"

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"Seriously?"

The surprised trainees stood up at once.

"I-it must be an instructor."

Burren forced himself to twist the corners of his mouth. It seemed he couldn't believe there was someone observing them.

"It must be an instructor who came to watch over us..."

"There's no way I couldn't tell who it was if it was an instructor's presence. That presence observed not only us, but also the entire village. Moreover..."

Raon pointed at the road they had walked past.

"As soon as we went half a day's distance away from the village, the presence disappeared. Towards the village, on top of that."

"Which means... Is it another enemy?"

Burren's jaw dropped. He looked at the village with trembling eyes.

"Is that true?"

Martha, who had been silent, stood up with a frown.

"I'm sure of it."

"When did you start feeling that gaze?"

"As soon as we arrived at the hill from where we could see the village."

"Wait! Then the reason you gave the command to Burren was..."

"Correct. I hid my presence in order to observe that gaze more clearly."

"Huh..."

Martha gulped.

'What the hell is he...?'

The hair at the back of her neck stood on end upon hearing Raon's words.

Not only had he felt a gaze and presence that even she couldn't feel, but he had also been investigating the gaze while hiding in the middle of the trainees by making Burren the top trainee. His perception and the depth of his thoughts were so astonishing that she couldn't even speak.
