Episode 104. induction
Every second was rushed.
Knowing that the suppression force had already suffered a devastating defeat, including losing 70% of its troops, we could not delay any longer.
We had to gather the available power and set off immediately.
“So, did you come here with permission from the emperor? Even being appointed as a court knight?”
“Yeah, it’s temporary.”
“Sir! If you are a court knight, even temporarily, you can only become a senior knight! How many senior knights live in the Empire aiming to become a court knight!”
basement training room.
The tree was noisy.
While the other guys were gathering, we were fighting and telling Trie in advance.
Thanks to that, when all the guys got together, I realized that it would be better to leave out the story of the temporary article.
If it was Iris or Erica, it was obvious that Einz would be very upset.
“So I’m thinking of going down to the South, but I want you to be with Tree. Of course, time to think…”
“great!”
“What?”
“Okay. You needed someone to protect you, right? I’ll go with you.”
The answer was too quick.
Did you really understand what I was saying in the first place?
“Tree. It’s not an easy decision to make. The place we’re heading to is a battlefield full of blood and flesh, and we’re going on vacation, so in case of an emergency, we may not be able to return to class…”
“I know. I know everything and answered. Or is it that you don’t like me going?”
“It’s not.”
“Okay then! Decision!”
“············”.
The answer wasn’t cool, so I was worried about everything.
If it was a tree, I expected that he would happily accept it after a short deliberation, but I didn’t know that he wouldn’t even think about it.
I was about to ask if I should consult with the family.
After all, the result was obvious.
They would roll it up in the house, and the tree would ignore it.
For Trier, Schulzenberg has that much status and power within the city.
“But didn’t you say you’re going to try something today?”
“Ah. That’s right. There is something I want to practice against you.
“What is it?”
“I want you to be honest with me.”
When the internal circuits were activated, a whirring sound was heard and heat rose up all over the body.
At the same time, a pillar of light erupted from my right palm, and it was held in the shape of a sword.
Then, with his left hand, he pulled out the metal sword from the leather sheath.
“Wow… double swordsmanship?”
He nodded his head without saying a word.
The metal sword stretched forward and stopped.
Bappe lifted it high and created a top position.
It was the most ideal posture that I came up with while studying on my own.
Attack with the other sword while defending with the outstretched sword.
If the theory was followed, it was a swordsmanship that perfectly realized the entire workshop.
“It’s my first time dealing with dual swordsmanship…. Okay. I’ll try to destroy it as soon as I can.”
Tree took a posture and stood up like a mountain.
It was exuding such an energy that made the opponent cringe just by meeting them.
I don’t think it was like this before.
While visiting the Wist Forest, Tree seemed to have attained a level of awakening in terms of swordsmanship.
However, the defense of the tree is also not unbreakable.
Because I pierced it myself a while ago.
If you knew the possibility, there was nothing to fear anymore.
“Get ready, Tree.”
My body felt lighter than ever.
I kicked the ground and ran towards Tree’s neck.

“Damn….”
“hehehe. Was it too harsh?”
On a tree scratching its head and smiling.
I felt like I wanted to get up and grind one chestnut.
But the pain in my side hurt so badly that I was lying on the floor, unable to move.
I was about to die.
The white black of the tree that had dug into my arms just before it cut my side, it twisted and hit me with the back of a knife.
Thanks to him, I didn’t die, but I had to stumble into a swamp of pain that felt like death.
It seemed that all the five intestines had been twisted.
I don’t know if it would be better if I didn’t drink this potion.
“It was crazy, too. It should be discarded.”
I thought I would follow what I saw in the anime, and after installing it, it looked like this.
I don’t know if it’s two one-handed swords, but fighting with a two-handed long sword in each hand was also very unbalanced.
The awkwardness immediately led to a gap, and in the end allowed a blow.
Two-handed swords were also two-handed swords for a reason.
Let’s use the weapon properly according to its purpose.
“Huh? You’re going to throw it away? No! It’s worse than I thought, isn’t it?”
“Comfort is fine, Tree.”
“It’s not empty words, it’s the truth. For some reason, I felt like I was dealing with a sword and a shield.”
“Even so, it was not as sharp as a one-handed sword and could not imitate the stability of a shield.”
“Instead, you can flexibly change the roles of the sword and shield at any time depending on your posture. That’s a huge advantage!”
I know what you’re talking about.
If the angle of the sword and the shield is wrong once, either the shield or the sword can become useless.
However, in the case of two swords, it was enough to just change the roles of the two swords.
“And when both swords switched to attack and swung! At that time, I was also very scared! Since a skilled swordsman like me was the opponent, I dealt with it calmly.
It didn’t sound very convincing because he was the one who had blocked it all.
However, Tree wasn’t a character who spoke out of his mouth or said something he didn’t mean to his heart.
It was enough to say that he was sincere with his own mouth, so it can be said that he did not lie even if there was a bit of exaggeration.
“Yeah. I’ll study it.”
“Thought well!”
The one who will become a swordsman said that it is a swordsmanship worth studying.
It would be a good choice to listen.
I grabbed Trie’s hand, holding my side, and stood up.
oh sir When I wake up, I feel like my intestines are shaking again…
I pulled a handkerchief out of my pocket and tried to wipe off the cold sweat.
If my sweat gets on, Emilia’s body odor will disappear.
“Mr. Heinkel. All the guests have arrived.”
“Ah. I’ll be up soon.”
“Shulus of …”

Just then, Emilia opened the door and appeared.
He seemed to be trying to say something to me when he saw me being supported by Trier…
“I beg your pardon?”
“No, Mr. Heinkel. I’ll serve you tea.”
He turned back with a cold expression.
He seemed annoyed because there were so many guests to serve.
After all, in a few days, I will disappear and I will not be able to live.
Be patient a little longer.
“Let’s go up, tree. I hope you can help persuade me.”
“What? Are you going any further than me?”
“Yes. The more colleagues, the better.”
“Are you going to ask Professor Sergei?”
“No. It can’t be….”
I had no intention of speaking to Sergei.
Even if you ask me, I am not someone who will move you easily.
Unless there is a formal request for help from the imperial family, Sergei cannot go on the battlefield, because he is a civilian.
“They will all know you.”
I climbed the stairs with the tree.
I couldn’t help but be nervous.
With a little exaggeration, my fate is at stake right now.
came shouting loudly to the emperor.
But if you can’t take anyone to the South and you have to shovel and come back, you wouldn’t be as stupid as that.
I will lose my honor to a level that is impossible to recover as it is.
So it could never fail.

“Are you going to call the guests and make them wait?”
Sipping tea, Erica made a blunt sound.
Then he turned his gaze and looked forward and sideways.
Einz and Iris.
There were two familiar faces.
“Does anyone know what we were invited to?”
“Um? Was it an invitation? I just ran after Schlusus called.”
“Oh yeah······.”
It was Einz with his arms crossed and making stupid noises.
He couldn’t help but get the impression that he had recently become Schlust’s faithful dog.
“Iris? What did you not hear?”
“I do not know.”
“ah.”
As soon as I saw Iris’ gentle smile, I immediately thought of it.
Iris had a future poem…
So, it was said that there was only one person, Erica, who had doubts about why she was invited here.
“Oh really! I’m going to die of frustration! Ascendant! When is Schlus coming back…”
“You look very urgent. Do you have any plans after that?”
Then a soft voice came from behind.
It was Schlus Heinkel’s…
He wasn’t alone.
It was always with a green-haired girl wearing a white sword.
But the strange thing is that Schlus was also wearing a sword.
After receiving the sword as a gift, I wondered if he was excited.
“No, I don’t have a specific schedule, so I’m just wasting my precious time.”
“Is this what a guy who takes my time by making a fuss when he comes to visit me because he has something to say?”
“That. That’s…!”
“I’ll make it simple for you to say what you want.”
Schlush Heinkel, who had been walking, stood in front of the sofa.
The green-haired girl looked at her for a moment, then sat quietly on the edge of the sofa.
“Trie and I are going to participate in the civil war in the South. We are looking for colleagues to join us.”
“What?!”
Erica couldn’t stand it anymore and screamed.
Turning around, Iris was unsurprisingly calm.
I don’t know if it was because I knew it in advance, or because I didn’t show my excitement well in the first place…
“Hey, what does that mean?”
“Literally. Should I explain the meaning by unraveling even this simple sentence?”
“No, not that! Why are you going all of a sudden! Even in the middle of the school year!”
“It is to strengthen the unity of the empire and maintain peace on the continent.”
“uh······?”
Did I hear it sound too obvious?
Tired of Schlusz saying that shamelessly again, Erica was speechless.
There was no sarcasm, such as being a child and a patriot, because it was absurd at all.
“You are among the students whose skills have been proven, I think you can trust. To be honest, I need your help. I need a colleague whom I can rest assured that I can sleep peacefully and entrust my watch over my back.”
“No, it’s too sudden. Now…. What can we do when we go to the battlefield?”
“Magicians are treated as valuable tactical weapons. If it’s a wizard’s oath, don’t worry. You’re not going as soldiers, but as mercenaries hired by me.”
A wizard’s oath is a promise made by everyone who walks on the magic road.
The oath that Aegis-sama’s magical powers would never be used for evil was included, and the Freya Empire forbade the use of magic bottles in the military organization.
But all of this was just an illusion.
In fact, wizards used to be put into battle through puns like mercenaries and infantry who could use magic.
“············”.
Erica glanced at Iris once.
Erica, who was not very devout, had no hesitation in using this expedient, but was concerned about what happened to Saint Iris.
“It’s not a place to be ridiculed. It’s a battlefield where people die and kill, and we’re no exception. You could end up with blood on your hands. We’ll make sure that never happens, but someone might never come back. I hope you recognize the danger and respond.”
“I’ll go. Schulus It’s the life you saved. It wouldn’t hurt to sacrifice for you.”
“No, I hope you don’t sacrifice…”
Einz answered without thinking.
No, you suddenly want to go to the battlefield and fight, but you just accept it?
No matter how close they were recently, it was difficult for Erica to understand.
He even suspected that he was manipulating Einz by hypnosis.
“I’ll go too.”
“Huh? Iris too? Are you okay? As a saint?”
“It’s okay. I’m only going for humanitarian purposes to heal the wounds of the wounded.”
“Aha······.”
If that’s the case, even a saint might be able to go.
No, but apart from being able to go, why the hell are you going?
“Schulus. If you hire us, how will you pay us?”
“You already know that, don’t you?”
“Fufu. Did you find out?”
no what
Why are you talking about something I don’t know?
Erica was confused and looked at Iris and Schlus in turn.
‘Are you kidding me?’
I started to wonder if everyone here was making fun of me.
Otherwise, there is no way to hear such nonsense and accept it on the spot.
Everyone except me!
“No I don’t know? Salary! Tell me!”
“Erica, I will provide you with a separate salary.”
“What is it?”
“The nightmare your brother is going through. I’ll fix it.”
“······································································!
what nonsense
The word lingered on the tip of his tongue.
“I think it will be difficult to make a decision on your own. There is no need to answer right away. I will depart from the train station at 7 pm today, so you can delay the answer until then.
“············”.
While everyone stood up and moved, only Erica was lost.
