-1407- The hopeless squad

The so-called instructor refers to the guide of a Sky Wizards squad, responsible for training the Sky Wizards within the squad and has the duty to nurture the squad members into talent.

In Mistgun, indoor classes are generally taught by theoretical course teachers in a unified manner, with classes being taught in units like a regular school. However, practical courses are conducted separately by each squad, each having a dedicated instructor responsible for guiding its members, equivalent to a squad superior.

However, only preparatory squads are assigned instructors. Undergraduate squads are considered mature Sky Wizards and thus don't have instructors. The squad captain is responsible for leading everyone, continuing training, and improving themselves.

These undergraduates, while improving themselves, are also sometimes assigned to preparatory squads as instructors to guide them.

In other words, all the instructors of preparatory squads are undergraduates of the Sky Wizard Division.

This is one of the features of the student self-governed floating academy city.

Rozen was well aware of this, so when Chloe handed him this information, he immediately grasped the reason.

In other words, Rozen had been appointed as the instructor for a preparatory squad.

"…This must be the decision of that wise and mighty division head, right?"

Rozen smiled at Chloe.

Then...

"Wait here. I'm going to find her and settle this right now."

Saying so, Rozen immediately stood up.

"Wait... Don't be impulsive...!"

Chloe was startled, rushing over and hugging Rozen tightly.

Chloe's figure was indeed impeccable. Even in uniform, it was evident how her greatness in front was pressed into an oval shape against Rozen's back as she embraced him.

But Rozen couldn't feel it, filled with anger.

"Whether appointing me as an instructor is reasonable or not, even if it is reasonable, just look at who she assign to me!"

Rozen sneered.

"She's definitely picking a fight with me. I need to settle this with her!"

"I told you not to be impulsive!"

Chloe clung tightly to Rozen, her face flushing slightly, clearly aware of the intimate nature of their actions.

However, Chloe did not let go, instead feeling a bit pleased and flustered.

"The Sky Wizard Division Head did discuss finding a trustworthy instructor for this squad, but I recommended you... Ugh!"

Before she could finish, Rozen pinched her cheeks.

"So, it wasn't that woman causing trouble, but you, my dear Chloe?"

Rozen tugged at Chloe's cheeks, making her flail and nearly cry.

"I just thought only you could save those kids!"

Chloe mumbled unclearly, teary-eyed and flailing.

"Thanks for your trust."

Rozen snorted and released her, his eyes returning to the documents in his hands.

...

Misora Whitale: Second-year preparatory student in the Sky Wizard Division, part of squad E601, striving to become a Magic Gunblade Wielder. Despite having excellent qualities, her practical abilities are extremely low due to clumsiness and a lack of understanding. Her theoretical knowledge is also severely lacking, failing multiple theoretical exams and practical tests since the first year. Currently has a record of zero wins and 124 losses, recommended to drop out.

Lecty Eisenach: Second-year preparatory student in the Sky Wizard Division, part of squad E601, uses rare Magic Dual Blades, known as a Magic Dual Blades Wielder. Despite trying multiple times to correct her overly timid and cowardly nature, she still fails, deemed unsuitable for the battlefield, recommended to be persuaded to drop out.

Rico Flamel: Second-year preparatory student in the Sky Wizard Division, part of squad E601, uses a magic gun as a rear guard. Despite having strong capabilities, she has an incurable personality, hates effort, frequently skips classes, and ignores school rules, receiving numerous complaints and criticisms. Recommended to be forced to drop out.

Squad E601, comprising the above three, is notoriously weak even among E-rank squads. They have suffered ten consecutive losses in internal ranking battles within a month, with the worst records in Mistgun, ridiculed as an F-rank squad. Recommended to be disbanded to save resources.

...

This was the information and evaluation of the members of the squad Freon and Chloe wanted Rozen to instruct.

Even in Rozen's eyes, this was a hopeless squad.

"One recommended to drop out voluntarily, one to be persuaded to drop out, one to be forced to drop out, and the squad recommended for disbanding to save resources. You threw such a team at me?"

Rozen was utterly speechless.

"Precisely because the squad has such severe issues, we could only think of you."

Chloe rubbed her cheeks, looking pouty.

"As you can see, this squad has severe problems. Every member has serious issues. To date, their results are dismal, and even the instructors assigned to them couldn't stand them and resigned one after another. Hence, the Sky Wizard Division Head consulted me, intending to have someone from the Special Task Squad act as their last resort instructor."

Chloe finally explained the reasons.

"But as you can see, the squad's issues are so severe that not even we might be able to teach them well. That's why I recommended you."

As someone who grew up under Rozen's influence, receiving his training, and achieving today's status, Chloe knew Rozen wasn't only strong and knowledgeable but also excelled in teaching. He loved nurturing talent, which is why he played with Chloe and Kanata as children since they had the highest potential in Rune.

"I believe if it's you, you can teach them well."

Chloe persuaded Rozen.

To achieve her goal, Chloe was ready to continue persuading him.

Unexpectedly...

"Well, I'm not entirely uninterested."

Rozen looked at the documents and suddenly said this.

"You... you're interested?"

Chloe never expected Rozen to say this, stunned.

However...

"If I'm not mistaken, two of these three are quite extraordinary. So, if we talk about interest, I do have some."

Rozen casually said, piquing Chloe's curiosity.

Could it be that this squad had potential only Rozen could see?

While Chloe pondered this...

"Anyway, for your sake, I'll take some time to check this squad out."

Rozen tossed the documents to Chloe and spoke.

"As for being their instructor, I'll decide after verifying some things."

Hearing this, Chloe was not disheartened but smiled.

"Then, I'll be looking forward to it."

Chloe smiled cheerfully.

Thus, a new chapter began.

Rozen's life in Mistgun was about to see some changes.
