Episode 80

“We need to shoot closer.”

“But if you do it wrong, Rocks is right!”

“Adjust to the southwest for now—”

“no!”

Ainim grabbed Hira’s wrist as she tried to reach for the handle. Ai shook his head.

“It’s too much… … .”

There is no strength in the hand holding it. The child’s arm trembled.

“majesty. I don’t have much time.”

“How to.”

“I can still shoot two more.”

Neil, who was watching the two from behind, calmly continued.

With Derek’s help, Nael created a total of three gun barrels day and night for four days.

There was a plan from the beginning.

“Now I’m going to shoot a little farther to the southwest. If I calculate the midpoint and adjust the scale, I can increase the accuracy enough.”

“The output has to be the same. What if I make a mistake? If anything overflows… … .”

“it’s okay.”

Hira’s hand covered the back of Aini’s hand. He is praised as a genius by everyone, but it’s different when you look closely.

He likes to play pranks, is a fool, and is a sleeper.

It’s such a small and delicate hand.

“Because it’s two people shooting together.”

Hira said quietly.

“If the charge is wrong, I will make adjustments. Nael, you said that the total amount of magic power would be the same.”

“As long as they don’t fall out of balance, the error is only about a span no matter how big it is, so there’s no way the younger brother is right.”

“Did you hear that, Your Highness?”

“… … yes.”

Only then did Ai-nim let go of Hira’s wrist.

The gun barrel, which is expendable, has already been replaced, and the direction must be adjusted by turning the handle of the holder.

Moderately to the southwest, to a distance where Rockstrin would never hit. It was only less than Ainim, but Hira was trembling for the same thing.

“Oh, wait! stop!”

“yes?”

The moment Hira was about to turn the knob. A response came from the radar the child was holding.

‘other.’

‘1, 15.’

‘west.’

‘0, 8.’

Two directions and two numbers.

Considering the subtle gaps, that was the content. What does it mean? Neither Ainim nor Hirado could understand it at once.

Neil, who had been listening, suddenly muttered.

“1.15 degrees to the south, 0.8 degrees to the west… … ?”

It was an angle.

* * *

“1.15 degrees south and 0.8 degrees west. It will fall right in front of you.”

“Are you sure? Doesn’t it fall exactly over my head?”

“Then use me as your shield.”

“Ah, yes, I trust you. Please come to me at once.”

I sent the information to the radar and took a step back.

surprisingly. In that brief moment, Baeller derived an adjustment angle that calculated the casting location of the magic, the distance to the trap, and the height of the barrier.

I’ll have to check it myself to see if it’s correct or not.

‘It can’t be wrong.’

When it comes to the realm of sophistication, there is no one better than Baeller Rongrut.

“I am ready again. Don’t look back, don’t stop.”

Mana began to gather.

I can see that the light is looking this way.

Baeller really tried to get in my way, so I grabbed the collar at the nape of his neck and pulled.

“Just in case you don’t know, get back here.”

“Wasn’t it meant to be used as a shield?”

“Because I can’t die.”

“Haha, that’s right.”

I raised my hand high.

Before long, flash!

A ray of light fell and swept the front. My vision has turned white and I can’t open my eyes properly, but I lean forward to the boiling heat.

“Run!”

The road is open.

The ground was hollow, and a haze rose from the floor. Not even ashes were left.

what kind of magic is this It’s hard to believe that Derek shot him.

But there is no room for admiration. Before long, monsters rush in from both sides. The road gets narrower and narrower.

[Casting on area 6 stopped.]

I can also faintly hear Coltman’s voice resounding from above the barrier.

While the party is returning, magic cannot be cast in this direction. This is because monsters and allies are mixed.

It wasn’t long before the outpost.

Baeller is running side by side with you, so you don’t have to worry.

I glanced back. Hopefully there won’t be any guys left behind… … .

“what are you doing!”

“Go first!”

back a little further.

O’Neill was still casting magic. One knight fell behind. Already surrounded by demons.

Stopped to protect the dead? It’s like an idiot.

“Rockstrin… … ?”

“Senior, keep running.”

There were only tens of meters at most to the outpost. Wizards and knights to protect Baeller were also sent first.

Since he had saved up his magic while moving, he had enough energy to support at least one magic. maybe?

“Get down!”

As soon as O’Neill and the fallen knight heard my voice, they lowered their stance.

Imagine a flammable gas.

Compression, compacted mud, sparks,

The moment you reach out your hand.

Kwaaang!

With the explosion, lumps of mud that exploded forward covered the monsters. it’s claymore

Of course, since it is mud, the killing power is insufficient. It’s just about sending it far away.

“Get out of here!”

I immediately ran back and supported the fallen O’Neill and the knight with both shoulders.

The knight was bleeding profusely, and O’Neill was on the verge of fainting.

“Why did you come back?”

“It was a long way from paying the price of rice. We must remain in the territory for a long time to protect the empire.”

“Haha, I hope so.”

“When I go back, I will tell my father that he refused the order.”

“Can I go back, can I… … .”

O’Neill looked ahead.

The road is now completely closed.

Like the sea that parted for a moment, the black wave surged in and filled the hole.

the front is blocked The monster is approaching from behind and from the side.

“sure.”

i’m not stupid

Can you throw yourself into a place where you’re sure to die? I had a plan.

“Go ahead!”

“Break it out!”

I see the soldiers from outpost 6 rushing forward in unison. Swords collide and shields shatter.

Grinding my teeth, I go through the black waves that I can’t handle.

Reckless. There is also no support from the barriers. It’s breaking the wire, so it’s against the order. nevertheless.

They will come to rescue me.

“Protect Lord Rockstrin!”

“For Aindarlock!”

“For Aindarlock!”

Finally, one knight broke through the gap between the monsters and came out.

When you leave the barrier, the familiar medal you saw at Outpost 6 is stuck on your shoulder.

“See you again. Major.”

“The operation is over, but it’s just a young boy.”

“Yes, Bocchan.”

I fired [Wind Blades] nonstop, and the knight had a peaceful conversation while fighting to the death with the clinging monster.

“Let’s go back to the manor.”

Day 3 of the raid.

All 12 operational platoons, including Baeller Rongrut, were revived.

* * *

“Rockstrin!”

“Uh, sister?”

“I’m glad you’re safe!”

As soon as I climbed the stairs, I was greeted by an unexpected person.

Why is Neil here? At first, I was embraced vigorously, but that was not the only strange thing.

“Both passed out.”

There must have been a recoil because he cast a magic of that power twice. There’s nothing strange about fainting.

okay. Even if it’s a child.

“Hira?”

The brown hair collapsed while holding hands with the child, leaning side by side against the wall.

Why is Hira here again?

“They wrote it together.”

“Are you with me?”

“Because it is fusion magic, I needed a 4-star wind magic based on imagination theory. There were no students in Class A, but Lady Yuxilla was the only one with a 4-star rating.”

“that is… … .”

What are you talking about.

I’m in A class, I’m sleeping, and if it’s a 4 star in imagination theory, there’s no one except me and my child.

Frid, whom I taught myself, isn’t 4-star yet, but Hira, whom I haven’t seen in a while, is 4-star.

‘His Highness said that the advanced version would be with Rox.’

I did lend the deep story.

Even seeing the power of magic with my own two eyes, I couldn’t believe it, so I felt bewildered. If it’s fusion magic, it means that the level of either side didn’t drop too much.

The most notable of all.

“What the hell is that?”

In ＜Academy Summer Turge＞, gunpowder weapons are rarely used.

There is, but magic is much more powerful and lasting, so there is no reason to use cannons.

“Your brother made it, right? laser.”

“Laser, la… … .”

I had to rummage through my memories for a long time due to the sudden sense of incongruity.

‘I have magic, but I can’t make things like lasers. Whew.’

‘What is a laser?’

‘Oh, surprise! Don’t surprise me, Your Highness.’

I remembered.

no, when is that? It was right after the night class, so it was the beginning of the semester.

There is also a picture scribbled on the notebook in its own way. But I put the notes in the desk drawer in my room.

“… … Aha.”

Belatedly, his eyes go to the note Hira is holding in her hand.

You stole it.

“So did you really make it? Are they made?”

“It’s unstable because the gun barrel is consumable, but the power came out as expected.”

“Because my sister is also amazing.”

The pierced path was quite wide.

The reason he judged that he could save O’Neill and the knight was because the power of the laser was much stronger than the child’s magic that he expected.

“Fufu, only you will do it. It’s thanks to you for letting me know the angle.”

“Ah, that’s what Lord Baeller told me, not me.”

“Baeller… … ?”

“Now I’m going to get treatment.”

Baeller’s body was not normal because he had been exposed to the magical energy of the broken magic core for a considerable amount of time. He was immediately sent to the ambulance at the barracks.

“I will go see my father first. I have to report it.”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Coltman is in the command post overhanging between Walls 2 and 3.

The operation was successful, and I had to report back. along with other special features.

“Rockstrin?”

“Sir Rockstrin!”

As I made my way to Coltman, several A-class students waiting in the back for their shifts saw me and reacted.

Students don’t know the strategy.

It was because the Empire couldn’t proudly say that it was sacrificing Baeller Rongrult by sending a 16-year-old student outside the barrier.

He taught it so proudly, but since he himself hadn’t been seen since the air raids started, he had to endure some criticism.

By the way.

“You were alive!”

“Yes?”

“You shot the magic over Outpost 6 earlier to save Rockstrin!”

“I’m glad you’re okay!”

It wasn’t the reaction I was expecting.

How do they know I left the barrier?

“Rockstrin is back?”

“Really!”

“I came back alive!”

“Uh… … .”

It wasn’t just the 1st grade A class. Excluding the students who were casting magic, the students who had stayed back showed the same reaction.

Embarrassed, I hurried my steps toward the command center of the barrier.

“I’m back, Father.”

“It was a lot of hard work. However, there is still no time to praise the ball.”

“it’s okay. I will report right away.”

Derek doesn’t seem to have time to say a word even though I’m back.

“As you are aware, the operation did not go as planned.”

“… … okay.”

“Kanin mage Altain broke in and destroyed [Blade Vortex] cast by Baeller Rongrut by consuming magic core, and [Wolf] was cast.”

With magic of that scale, you can feel it even if you can’t see it. Coltman must have guessed since Kanin wasn’t in the command in the first place.

Also, the distinctive sound would have been vividly heard by the students in the faraway barrier.

“Kanin mage Artain is dead, all 12 members of the operation platoon are alive, and O’Neill Cage and Baeller Rongrte are being treated in the first aid unit. The rest joined the power front.”

“effort… … did.”

Whoa.

Coltman let out a long sigh, clutching his hair.

I’ve heard stories that Kanin once taught Coltman when he was young. mind will be confused

Still, it ended with a single sigh. It was like Coltman.

“You see the situation here, so you know.”

“Yes.”

“The front line itself has room in the first half, but that one guy is the problem.”

Its unrivaled size creates a sense of fear just by walking on it. If you put a person in front of it, it will only look like an ant.

That one, unknown source, is ruining everything.

“Mage Derek’s magic barely makes it go away. No one has come up with a solution yet.”

It was a somber voice.

It doesn’t seem like magic works. At best, it’s about digging a pit and knocking it over, but there’s a limit at this distance.

“If possible… … .”

Know. It is too heavy a burden to be passed on to a son who has just returned from an operation.

It’s ridiculous to expect anything, but it’s even more pitiful to have that only.

“Yes.”

I answered without hesitation.

“I have a way.”
