Episode 16

“Your Excellency, it seems impossible any longer.”

“Back off.”

“The knights are tired, and Your Excellency’s magical power has reached its limit. Even if there are fewer monsters than this, we cannot advance.”

“I was told to step back from the firing line.”

“dismissal!”

shhh. The flames died down.

The head of the Yuxilla family, Shilin Yuxilla, is a 4-star wizard. Power would be helpful enough, but it was too much to reverse the situation.

It’s already been a week since they gathered their troops and started marching. I still couldn’t get out of the mountainous area along the road.

Fossoti’s mines were far away.

“How many days will it take to recover?”

It was a voice that gnawed hard.

“I’m sorry, but at this rate, it will take at least three months to regain the positivity. Regardless of whether I can move the mines again—”

“Like a dog.”

For the first time since I had a daughter, and again after becoming the head of the household. They said they would reduce it, but where did worldly affairs go the way they wanted?

It’s a curse I’ve endured for decades. Once pierced, it poured out without hesitation.

“Hey, you kids. Do you guys still call yourself a knight? Are you afraid of monsters? Is the pride you used to wear in your mouth as small as the one on your crotch?”

Her scarlet hair, drenched in sweat, swayed vigorously. The butler was speechless.

Shilin Yuxilla became the head of the family at the age of twenty. He was too young to shoulder the absurd burden of being a marquis.

Still, she survived in the jaws of snakes and toads. I came here tearing their tongues and splitting their muzzles.

“this.”

There was ambition, and there was pride.

“This is what it means.”

dump.

My legs gave out and I fell to my knees.

His vision was blurry because he consumed too much mana. I know I shouldn’t show weakness, but I didn’t have the strength to stand up.

The corpses of monsters were scattered all over the place.

The rotten me vibrated.

This is because the advance is so sluggish that if you lie on your back, the back of your head will touch the corpses piled up yesterday.

Mercenaries with light mouths could not be hired. Except for the faithful knights of the family, Yuxilla’s disgrace will be exposed to the world.

Actually, I’m afraid.

Maybe even now this pathetic bare face is revealed.

Maybe it’s already too late

“… … dismissal.”

“Why, you bastard!”

“Did you call reinforcements?”

“What are you talking about? Are you out of your mind?”

The butler’s wrinkled fingers pointed far beyond the corpse. In the middle of the fog because it was a mountainous area, some shadows were gathering.

This is the middle of Yuxilla. That number of people has never been delivered.

“Enemy, is it?”

Ha ha, I laughed out loud.

If it leaked out, that’s not strange either. It was already known that Posotti had been restored externally, so it was a secret expedition.

Nominally, he is not here. So even if you are attacked here, there is no doubt.

Yuxilla’s enemy is not one or two.

The fact that the empire’s politicians survived for a long time also meant that they made enemies to that extent.

“We need to organize the display-”

“done. Lie flat.”

The knights who were about to get up in a hurry, Shilin raised his hand to stop them.

“What are you going to do with the fight? It is dog death.”

After a week of marching, the knights were exhausted. There is no chance of winning against a perfect enemy.

Even in the midst of that, they think about getting up and fighting, but they are foolishly loyal.

“I had a hard time.”

like this

It ends abruptly.

If you’re going to complain about something unfair, you have no choice but to go to hell and do it. she’s a sinful woman

Shilin threw down his staff and stepped forward. The wind blew.

“… … .”

But something is strange.

I had my eyes closed for a while.

I knew that a rain of arrows would pour down, or that my throat would fly away, or whatever.

You want to come here and take me prisoner?

“What are you doing?”

uh.

It was a voice from distant memories.

A voice that was heavy, hard, and looked down upon, but strangely attracted people.

“It’s an unsightly expression, Shilin.”

Open your eyes.

The first thing I saw was the identity of the black things that came out through the fog.

It was a flag.

A golden shield with a black background. The pattern that couldn’t be here.

“Aindar Loch… … ?”

“In the past, I bought one high level of self-esteem. Now even that is lost.”

Coltman walked past Cileen and bent down. Coltman picked up a wand that had fallen on the floor and brushed away the dust.

Then he turned around, and eventually took out a letter and read it.

A letter with Yuxilla’s seal.

The last letter he had sent was to his daughter, who had just entered Summer Turge.

“Why… … .”

“I fully understand the situation. I brought one of the special lease company. It’s kept top secret, so no one knows.”

The Empire’s strongest firepower unit, special lease.

Each and every one of them is a 5-star wizard who is said to destroy a village in half a day.

These are the heroes of today who defended the empire against the notorious monsters of the north.

One hundred of them.

“If you want—”

“Help me.”

I don’t know. let’s see once

“I will do anything!”

“… … You seem to be in a lot of hurry. good night.”

After inserting the letter, Coltman took out a round one this time from his chest.

video recorder. Even if the figure is not visible, the voice remains.

“‘anything’. I definitely heard it.”

“Put down the video recorder. Cancel what you just said.”

Unexpectedly, Coltman obediently handed over the video recorder to Shilin.

When I got it, it wasn’t even working. Cyrlin threw the video recorder at Coltman’s back.

It was like that in the past too. He was the one who played countless jokes with that blunt face.

“Hey, you son of a bitch… … .”

i’m dying of hate

Shilin muttered in a weeping voice or not.

Coltman stretched out his hand toward the sky. that was the signal

In an instant, the wind blew in.

The earth let out a deep cry.

Penetrating the dense fog, dozens and hundreds of red and blue beams of light soared high.

“Negotiations in two days.”

It took exactly three days from the arrival of the Aindarroch family’s special lease to the Yuxilla’s recapture of the three mines.

[NEXT EPISODE]

III. Midterm exam

: D-10

“… … done.”

Stretching out his sulking shoulders, he finally jumps up from his seat. How long have you been sitting My ass was about to flatten out.

and exclaimed bitterly.

“It’s X.”

Failed.

Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed… …

No, it’s not really a complete failure.

““Will Les Lippe Ver””

wheein!

The wind that was tickling on the palm of my hand quickly blows away.

2-star magic, 「Wind Curtain」.

It was not an offensive magic, so it was an advantage that it could be practiced even in the room.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

How can the double chain form be reproduced, but the development, which is the solution, could not be conducted.

If you write, you have confidence.

Because there are already eight notebooks piled up on my bookshelf. It is a transcript of the lectures of the professors in their raw form. I’m memorizing it, just beat the time.

The problem is the real thing.

[1st grade midterm exam contents]

2. Practice

: Demonstrate 1 skill you are confident in.

Scoring by evaluation item (out of 40 points)

– Magic level (4 points)

– Understanding of magic (12 points)

– Magic completion (15 points)

– Magic development (9 points)

A total of four criteria.

First grade, generous for freshmen.

Grade 1 is given 3 points if it is 2 stars or higher. That is, it is not the same as the base score.

There is no student who can’t get it, at least not among the students who live in the Tower of Truth. If I can’t complete 「Wind Curtain」 properly, I will be the first. Not even proud!

If it went according to plan, even if it did, there would be no major problems.

But.

‘I’ll go visit you as soon as the midterm exam is over.’

Coltman Aindar Locke.

In the eighth main episode, ‘Crisis at the Northern Wall’, a giant who should only appear is coming to Summer Turge.

Although it was completely unintentional during production, Rockstrin remains in Summer Turge without incident until just before the ending two years later.

I mean if I was a real rockstar there wouldn’t be a problem. Because Rockstrin can use 3-star magic.

‘Anyway, it should be 2 stars.’

What if you don’t get recognition?

After being grabbed by Coltman, I return to the northern territory of Aindaroch, leading to a terrible development.

The main stage of ＜Academy Summer Turge＞ is, of course, Summer Turge.

Most of the events that take place outside are the result of Summer Turge’s academic schedule.

The moment I get out of this correction, there is a high possibility that a large part of my knowledge will be useless, and clearing the already difficult episode will be infinitely far away.

Ten days left.

“Isn’t there such a thing as enlightenment?”

In a cheap martial arts area, even taking a casual walk, I heard that I suddenly came to an epiphany.

I walked out of the room with heavy steps. I wasn’t going to go far, I was going to take a walk around the garden on the 10th floor.

“There is no wind… … . “Will”

forced wind.

Cooling down, looking down over the railing over the schoolyard, reviewing the concepts memorized during the day, examining the flowers in the flower beds in full bloom… … .

oh what is the name of this

It’s an orange flower.

“Ehh.”

it was wrong

Far from realizing it, I only had a lot of random thoughts.

“Rox!”

“Ugh. Hira.”

I lightly waved my hand while sticking my nose in the flower bed. We met often, so there was no need to say hello.

This smells good.

“Here, crane, there you are! ha.”

“Is there something urgent?”

“All, all thanks to the Rocks. I don’t even know how to say it.”

Then he turned his head.

Her breathing is rough on her flushed right cheek. With her hand on her chest, Hira had a very happy face.

There would be nothing to be so happy about… … .

Dada.

“Hey, wait a minute—”

Wow!

I was squatting in front of the flower bed, so I couldn’t do anything to hold it. Only things that were about to fall were barely centered.

“thanks. Thank you, really… … .”

“What is it?”

“Huh.”

“No, don’t cry.”

Even in the late afternoon, the sun was still up, so there were no other students around. In particular, the eyes of the female students were as sharp as if they could be stabbed.

can you afford this? I do not know?

I couldn’t stop crying and patted him on the back a few times until he calmed down.

It smelled similar.

“this.”

After calming down for a while, Hira sniffled and pulled out a letter. This time, it was a letter with Yuxilla’s seal.

no way.

I opened the letter that had already been wet with tears once.

[My dear daughter.

You saved Yuxilla. All three mines are in place, so they should be operating normally by the time this letter arrives.]

No way.

It was a scrawled letter.

I know very well how Coltman treats letters from the Islands. Even touching things with your hands is regarded as disrespectful, so they do not associate with each other.

Moreover, it is a reply from a pathetic son.

It must have been a poor excuse, something that should have been burned with the entire envelope.

Even if you read one in a row, it’s meaningless. This is because there is no reason for Aindarok to help the central politician.

However.

[Aindarok’s special lease has arrived.]

The prediction that was close to certainty was wrong.

Coltman Aindarok sent reinforcements to the real Yuxilla Kingdom.

Secretly, timely, full power.

[He said it was my son’s request, but I don’t know if that’s all. Because he’s such an incomprehensible guy. Still, thanks to that, there was no compensation for the contract, and I was able to meet all the delivery. This is also a good thing, as we have uprooted even those who eat away at the family at this opportunity.]

“What should I do?”

“… … That’s great.”

“I haven’t done anything. Just take it carelessly. How can I repay this favor to Rox?”

don’t ask me

I don’t know either.

As if he had finally calmed down, Hira slipped away. It’s about an inch or so.

Even after pouring out tears like that, the emotions that rise up in the eyes that look up even though it seems embarrassing are still the same.

“thank god.”

I didn’t have anything to say, so I wiped the tears from my cheeks with a handkerchief.

It didn’t make any sense. Hira quickly burst into tears again, so I braced myself so as not to fall.

“Hueeeng!”

Anyway, that’s how I made friends.

Unintentionally a little early.
