Chapter 143

In May.

The more you think you’re lacking, the faster time goes by.

In the aftermath of sealing magic, magic practice, which was a big part of daily life, was missed, but it was still the same as living a busy life.

It was usually a conversation with Coltman, and since it was a secret job, the number of days when I went back to the tower as soon as I finished my schedule increased.

Still, I made time for it today.

“It’s only been half a year, sister.”

“It already happened. how have you been doing?”

“As you can see, they are alive.”

“Nothing has changed. Um, how tall are you?”

Nael, who traveled all over the empire working on the transmission tower, finally returned to Summer Turge.

As soon as he sees it, he puts his hand on my head, but it seems to have grown a little.

It was said that they had been in Summer Turge until February, but seeing it for the first time since I went to Mashu, it was like meeting them in half a year. After staring at it without saying anything, Neil said.

“Why should I hug you?”

“… … That’s Okay. I see the kids too.”

I have pride as a manager.

Even if you don’t know when you don’t have eyes to see.

I simply came back from work, but I brought a cake and celebrated modestly with the members.

“There has been one more. I saw it on the nameplate, did it say Jerome?”

“yes. But I came because I wanted to come in… … .”

“yes?”

“Ahaha. This guy is very shy.”

I put my arms around Jerome, who had deliberately sat next to me.

smile, man

“You don’t look good?”

“no. I drank coffee.”

Jerome sighed and replied.

I couldn’t help it because I was forced to come because I didn’t want to come. There is a reason to be forced.

“Actually, the reason I told you to gather all of you here and leave the schedule empty is to commemorate the return of my sister, but I have another important request.”

mate.

I clapped my hands to get attention.

Including myself, Ainim, Hira, Frid, Baeller, Neyel, Ramyu, and Jerome are 8 people.

All the objects needed were gathered.

Four people were in the initial plan, and three were not. It went wrong, but in May 1318, all the necessary objects should be gathered.

Ramyu, who was messing around with the cake, asked.

“An important request?”

“I heard the news yesterday, and it will be pretty serious. So you must protect it.”

Continental maps are drawn on the wall of the room. Summer Turge is located in a small mountainous area near the islands.

“For about two weeks from now.”

By the second week of May in 1318.

“You must not go out of Summer Turge.”

＜The Nightmare Covered＞.

Twelfth episode in terms of timing.

The script isn’t working, but this episode doesn’t change.

At the southernmost tip of the continent, in the whirlwind archipelago south of Credia, large-scale flying monsters invade the empire.

This invasion doesn’t do much damage. If you want to prepare, you can easily prepare. It’s because they are weak entities that have been pushed out of the realm.

“This is news from the Confederate front. It may come out on air tomorrow morning, but they say it’s almost the same as the speed of paring, so it’s around tomorrow evening.”

“Are you saying that monsters will rain tomorrow evening?”

“Yes. Not to the ground, but to the sky.”

To Frid’s question, I pointed up with my index finger and said,

Reconnaissance is the primary mission on any front, but by March, the Confederates had already been asked to conduct long-range reconnaissance. Thankfully, the information arrived on time.

Early flying monsters are too weak, and if you know in advance, you can defeat them with only bows and arrows that have regressed into archaic weapons.

One should not be mistaken. This is a kind of warning.

Being pushed out of the territory means that there are much stronger people living there.

“First of all, it is said that it is weak to the level of an ordinary beast, but we are diligently deploying troops on the residential side by subtracting the frontline troops.”

“Doesn’t the army come with us?”

“There is no summer burst support. Rather, some professors have fallen into the system, and the students are to take care of themselves.”

“Um… … .”

“So this opportunity is going to be an important experiment.”

widely.

I placed a bluish orb wrapped in cloth on the desk.

“… … Magic core?”

“Did you bring it from the desert then?”

“No, a little different.”

Baeller recognized immediately.

The size and appearance are the same, but they are different.

“yes. It’s different from that.”

A supply-type magic core obtained from the underground ruins of the Menlua Desert and delivered to the Professor’s Research Building.

While the progress of magic research was waning, the research on this popular magic core was full of enthusiasm.

Since the professors at Summertage are major figures in the academic world, they knew how to produce results to some extent.

And the result came out.

“We increased density and stability. For example, it is an intermediate step between the one we exploded at the northern barrier and the cheap magic core.”

[ITEM]

[Enhanced Magic Core]

: A bead created by compressing magical power. It has more magic power than the popular magic core, and has secured stability so that it cannot consume more than a certain level of magic power.

“I will create a barrier with this.”

“Barrier?”

“Ah, that’s something out of a fairy tale!”

“Right.”

The barrier in ＜Academy Summer Turge＞ is magic in the imagination. As Ramu said, it only appears in fairy tales.

However, in the second half, it is actually made by Kanin.

So now, without Kanin, I decided to try making it a little earlier instead.

“The reason I am talking about this here is because we are the only people who can use it. Your Highness made it.”

Kanin made it into an existing theory, but I don’t know how. So I asked the child.

I drew this and that with pictures and handed it over, and a rough draft came out. After all, a child is a child.

“I don’t know if it will work.”

“I told you in advance, even if you fail, there is no big problem. Anyway, at the level of our students, it will end with almost no damage. It’s just that a good experimentation opportunity has arrived.”

Monsters are common, but for such a large-scale experiment, at least a dangerous situation like a front line or an air strike must be created.

Right now is a good opportunity to test the performance of the barrier without any risk.

“So, Jerome.”

“yes? Me?”

“You will probably need it the most.”

Perhaps not knowing that he would be called, Jerome, who was sitting with an expressionless expression, widened his eyes.

“I urgently need a pillar to create a barrier, but work outside has almost ceased. I don’t have any materials.”

The air raid warning of large-scale flying monsters has spread throughout the empire, so all luck is paralyzed.

If you tried to save it in advance, you could have saved it, but here it is important to prove Jerome’s worth.

Jerome hesitated. This guy’s acting skills aren’t average either.

“I do not know. I’ve shown you before, but with my magic… … .”

“If you try, you will understand, right?”

I smiled softly.

I know very well that your magic isn’t all about making a single flower bloom.

It seems like he wants to hide it, but what can he do? Even after this, Jerome’s magic is greatly needed.

“My sister helps with the design and installation, and I and Her Highness take care of one pillar, and two people take care of the other two pillars, one by one.”

Ainim and I still have the upper hand in the achievement of magic, and Hira and Freed are a little less than that.

Since the activation process is similar to that of the laser, Hira and Ramyu, and Frid and Baeller can help together.

“It sounds simple if you just listen to it… … .”

“Where do you put the pillars?”

“I will enclose the correction in as large a lozenge as possible, so these are the four expected points.”

Outside the main gate in the south, the Agricultural Research Building in the west, the Tower of Truth Garden, and the roof of the 4th Lecture Building in the east.

“We don’t have much time, so we’ll start right away. For now, let’s all move together.”

It started with the Agricultural Research Building on the west side, close to the playground.

It was a place where students studied the benefits of growing crops with magic, so there were many students who never stopped by until they graduated.

After arriving at a suitable clearing, the first person to step forward was Jerome.

I placed the magic core at Jerome’s feet.

“I know it’s important, but… … .”

“Everyone here is someone you can trust. Rather, I know ruler.”

“I don’t know how you knew.”

Quadruped!

The moment Jerome put his hand on the floor holding the seed he had taken out of his pocket. Something dark rose from the ground.

At first glance, it looked like a “protrusion” of earth magic. However, it was not dirt.

“Wow.”

“tree… … ?”

“Did you have magic like this?”

growth.

Promote the growth of target organisms, causing them to grow suddenly in a short period of time.

It is Jerome’s unique magic.

“If you farm with this, you will make a lot of money! There are many things to grow besides trees!”

Ramyu spit it out without much thought, but tilted his head.

“Can this be used only for plants?”

It was a straight-forward question.

Jerome hesitated to answer. If so, the person next to him was the princess, Yuksilago, and Aindarok.

He seemed to think that he had nothing more to hide.

“… … no.”

“Can you possibly use it on people too?”

Jerome nodded.

It’s a very strange magic, but at the same time, it’s a very deadly magic.

“What if I write it?”

“Same.”

“Whoa, did you just grow this tall?”

“It can’t be.”

The tree, which grew in an instant by nourishing Jerome’s magical power, was already taller than the group.

Since the thickness is close to an armful, how long will it take to grow to this point? Decades at least

“I will usually die.”

said Baeller, touching the tree.

That was an accurate analysis.

Because it accelerates the growth ability of the target more than necessary, the person receiving this magic will surely die.

Of course, there is nothing to be found by analyzing the corpse. because it’s natural It is also suitable for assassination.

However, there is no need to use a sixteen-year-old boy for such a thing. I wouldn’t kill anyone more than that.

I asked, patting Jerome on the back.

“Can I use it on monsters too?”

“Yes, I can.”

The same applies to monsters as well.

So the value of Jerome is very high.

Although its use is limited, it can always and surely kill the highest level monsters. Truly deadly.

“Anyway, this is the level of ability. Can you put up a pillar?”

“I think it will be enough, but when the barrier is activated, pressure will be applied, so one or two trees will not be enough. Rather than that, will the magic power pass through to the magic core above this?”

“It’s possible because I make a magic passage when it grows.”

“Then no problem.”

Neil nodded. The tree Jerome grew can be used as a pillar to support the barrier.

“Now let’s get this to work. Would you like to try it first? With Frid.”

Then, the next task is straight away.

I called Baeller and Frid to the towering tree. The two stood side by side and reached out to the trunk.

Both of them had experience shooting lasers, so I thought it wouldn’t be difficult.

Because the structure that activates the barrier is simpler than that of a laser.

“Oh, something’s coming out over there.”

Ramu pointed up.

A white beam of light rose obliquely from the magic core. Right now, the light is pointlessly rising, but you just have to adjust the angle to meet them.

“Is that difficult?”

“Uh, just like that. It’s a lot easier than a laser.”

Freed answered Hira’s question.

As expected, it was not difficult for the members.

“There is no problem with the conditions, so let’s adjust the location.”

The moment Jerome reaped his mana, the tree, which had rapidly dried up, collapsed. I grabbed the magic core that had fallen from above.

The more countermeasures, the better.

to prepare for the day to come. There was still no time to rest.
