Chapter 219.2 - Joint Exercise I
If there are no other questions, I'll continue the briefing.
It seemed no one questioned my decision to not assign some people to other parties.
But whatever. Let's defeat the first head for now.
Once we defeat the first head, the second and third head will appear. That's why withdraw from the frontline as soon as you defeat them.
That fu*ker could regenerate its body like there's no tomorrow after all. Nothing good would come from consecutive boss battles.
The one that was suitable as the sparring partner for our current lineup was the first head without its breath. We had to withdraw immediately once they entered their next phase.
But I think it'll be much better if we collect the chopped-up head to be used as material.
Eh, are you going to eat Yamata No rochi!?
It's a material Mei-chan, not an ingredient.
I mean, even my pharmacy intuition was screaming Absolutely inedible you kno~w.
Since that head is something made with magic, isn't it supposed to disappear?
As expected of Souma-kun, he asked the question that I had been waiting for.
Souma-kun had already fought Yamata no Orochi twice and had managed to behead its head a few times in those two battles. Here the question was, where did those freshly severed gigantic snake heads go?
That's right. It seems Yamata no Orochi's flesh is maintained with a gargantuan amount of magical power, and its severed body would vanish right away once it got separated from the main body.
The decapitated body vanished after some time. The same case happened when Class Rep erected a huge ice wall, it would crumble very easily or melt immediately due to the atmospheric temperature when it got too far from her.
Since this was a material created with magical power, it seems that it would collapse more easily in proportion to the magical power that formed it.
That was the reason Yamata no Orochis head vanished faster than the crumbling earth wall.
However, there was a magic that could stop this collapse phenomenon.
That's where we'll use Randou-san's Eternity.

The first field exercise ended up far too easily, which was a letdown.
One of Yamata no Orochis heads diligently welcomed us once we approached its nest, making it an easy job for our vanguard. From my perspective, even though it was the first time the other vanguard fought the head, they severed it without a hitch. Perhaps everybody's growth had exceeded my prediction.
The third party got beaten a lot while maintaining the hate that got spread to all the parties. Without a sure kill technique like Souma-kun's giant sword of light, the martial arts the vanguards learnt might look like a scratch compared to Orochi's huge body. Even so, they steadily build up damage.
And then, the tattered head finally stopped moving and fell to the ground like a million sacks of potatoes.
We become stronger after all.
Ueda and Hoshizaki didn't seem to be too eager to do this.
The other didn't seem to be too eager either.
It seems they realized that despite defeating one head a while ago, the fact that they were literally unscathed must be appreciated. And thanks to the various combinations of party members, the exploration party did a good job of raising everyone's cooperation.
Feel free to tell me if you feel uncomfortable with the party composition.
It's fine.
This party composition was something that I composed with balance in mind. That's why no one complained.
Since no one was injured or exhausted, we should conduct the next exercise immediately.
And Randou-san, I've another job for you.
E~h, what kind of job is that?
Digging trench.
Aga~in?
Oh please don't say that.
The trench we dug until now was barely within the limit of the safety line, the trench we would dig hereon was outside of the safety line.
Yes, the second phase of our tactic, digging a trench toward the rocky mountain where Yamata no Orochi hid itself to bypass the gargoyles, starts today.
In fact, I wanted to create a tunnel. Alas, such a feat might be impossible for Randou-san. That was the reason we dug a trench. If we made it deeper, it would be safer than running on the ground.
We would dig a trench toward the mountain while the others distracted Yamata no Orochi.
Its true body was hidden within the mountain. Eventually, we had to go in there. The reason we dug this trench was to pave the way to get in there.
